Lord Highlander

Seeing Hathaway and his sister walk into the banquet hall, Baron Harvey Gophero shrank subconsciously.

He was holding a wine glass to chat with two noble ladies, expecting to make a good impression in their hearts, but now he has no interest at all, drank the wine in the glass, and found an excuse to get the wine and get rid of the Two noble ladies.

The Suldak who disgusted him walked to the front of the bar, picked up two glasses of golden cider, brought them in front of his sisters Beatrice and Hathaway, and whispered to them with a wicked smile. Speaking, Harvey wanted to rush forward at this moment, and slapped Hathaway twice in front of Hathaway, making him lose face.

But I heard that he was born as a guard battalion knight, touched the saber on his waist, and Harvey retracted his foot after taking a single step.

I still remember when I was a child, I often followed the skirts of the two of them, running around the yard.

Later, the relationship between the Luthor family and the Gophero family became stagnant. The two families no longer had the close relationship they used to have. Harvey could no longer get closer to Hathaway, but his sister Beater Liz has always been Hathaway's best friend, and has never changed since she was a child...

Now that the family is in a predicament, especially because the current predicament is caused by himself, Harvey doesn't even have the courage to appear in front of Hathaway.

He found a corner to sit down and secretly stared at the blonde Hathaway who was talking with other noble ladies in the banquet hall. Her lips were like the most beautiful red roses, and her eyes were like the most magnificent grandmother. Emerald, her every frown and smile are so charming.

However, the Baron Suldak left the two of them behind and greeted other nobles in the banquet hall. He seemed to know Baron Ned Morse in the guard camp of Benar City. Baron Morse took him to meet with Other young nobles knew each other.

Harvey Gefiro stared at Suldak surrounded by a group of young nobles. It seemed that the nobles in Bena City had accepted this country bumpkin who didn't even have a surname. He raised his head and took a sip of the wine in his glass. drink up.

He didn't listen to a word that Count Gophero told him.

He didn't even want to go up and have a few words with Suldak, seeing that disgusting face made him want to throw up.

Suldak's face is not ugly, but every time he sees this handsome face full of sunshine, Hathaway's bright smile on that face will appear in his mind. Those blue eyes were originally It should belong to him, now...in the future...maybe it will become even more blurred in front of him, he doesn't dare to think about it...

He felt like a coward.

Baron Harvey asked himself: 'Am I a fool? Am I a coward? '

'No, I am not! I want to be a warrior who fights for love! '

He replied firmly from the bottom of his heart. He touched the saber at his waist, tightened the hilt that was swallowed under the forehead, and stopped after taking two steps.

Now he can't even take out a single gold coin in his pocket, and owes a huge debt.

If there had been a scene at the Earl of Barham's ball, he might not have been invited to such a ball.

He suddenly remembered that a friend advised him to marry the daughters of two rich merchants in the city of Bena, and use their dowry to pay off the debts he owed.

At that time, the discussion was not over yet, and he rejected it with righteous words.

What a big joke. When did the heir of the Gophero family become so downcast? He was not willing to sacrifice his own happiness just for that ridiculous amount of money. Thinking about it now, it seems that it is not impossible...

He was going to give it a go, maybe he could marry the daughter of the Earl's family.

But he wanted to get Hathaway more. Looking at Marquis Luther's big hand, he felt that if Suldak was replaced by himself, with the support of Marquis Luther, he could spend a few years accumulating military exploits and promoting himself to be a Marquis , Restoring the glory of the family.

Why should all the good things belong to that guy Suldak?

It seemed that he was not the only one who had objections to Suldak at this ball. He saw another young man chatting passionately with several noble ladies while paying attention to Suldak's side from time to time. There was movement, and she continued to look towards Hathaway and her sister Beatrice, with an obsession hidden in her green eyes.

Harvey knew the young nobleman, but they didn't have much contact with each other, and their friends were not in the same circle.

That is Luke, the son of the Newman family, one of the many sons of the Duke of Newman. I heard that he also likes Hathaway, but he is much younger than Hathaway, and has always been treated by Hathaway. Girl, who cares what a brat says?

Although Harvey didn't like him either, after hesitating for a while, he decided to walk over with a glass of wine...

...

Just as Harvey Gophero was walking towards Luke Newman, Hathaway and Beatrice also noticed Harvey Gophero. Hathaway poked the best friend next to her and whispered Asked: "Beatrice, your brother is over there... Shall we go up and say hello?"

After speaking, her eyes fell behind Harvey.

Beatrice followed Hathaway's gaze, and saw Harvey walking towards Luke Newman, and said with some doubts: "Didn't he and Luke dislike each other? When did you get together? Then he said: "Forget it, I don't want to hear anything about the family from him. It's those words every time, as if selling me can revitalize the family. He never thought about how to do it." Restoring the former glory of the Gophero family with hands and mind."

Hathaway smiled lightly and said, "Maybe he has tried his best!"

The round-faced Beatrice smiled a little reluctantly, and countered to her best friend: "Don't you want to talk to him? Every time he sees you, his eyes hardly move."

"I heard he's been in some trouble recently." Hathaway avoided Beatrice's question.

"I owe a lot of money, but I don't have the money to help him." Beatrice curled her lips. She still complained about the family.

Suldak walked around with the wine glass, finally turned around, and found Hathaway and Beatrice beside the dance floor.

They rejected the two young nobles who took the initiative to chat, and Suldak stepped up and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

Hathaway smiled and said, "We're talking about when you can take us to Wall Village."

Suldak thought for a while, but he couldn't keep summoning and accompany Hathaway and Beatrice back to Hailansa City.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Sorry! I'm afraid I can't go with you this time. I may have to go to Constantinople to deal with some things."

Hathaway and Beatrice stared at him with disappointment in their eyes.

Suldak quickly added: "However, you can take the magic airship to the city of Hailansa a few days later, and we will meet at Hailansa!"

"That's a good idea." Beatrice said with bright eyes.

Suldak held Beatrice's hands with both hands, looked into her chestnut eyes and said, "Before that, I would like to meet Earl Gophero once, and hope that he will allow me to propose to his daughter."

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't agree..." Beatrice said firmly.

"Maybe he's willing to change his mind this time," Suldak said with a smile.

Suldak has always thought that this kind of dance is very boring. Fortunately, Hathaway and Beatrice accompanied him this time. After a few laps on the dance floor, he found that the dance was coming to an end. He tried to get to know those young Nobles, but after reporting their names, many nobles looked down on Suldak, and there was an unconcealable arrogance in their eyes.

However, due to Marquis Luther, these young nobles could chat with Suldak for a few words. Even if they didn't have a chance to come forward to talk, they would stand on the outer circle and smile at Suldak, which was regarded as a formal greeting.

Suldak didn't care about the gazes of those people, and waited until the end of the ball before he took Hathaway and Beatrice by the hand to board the magic caravan in the Marquis Luthor's mansion.
