NOVEL NEXT Chapter 140: Chapter 139
"Yes, the dance."
She tilted her head slightly, and with the same red eyes as Alice's, she watched with interest the latter's slightly flustered expression as he was arrested on the spot.
"You will."
"Dancing with Alan?"
(End of this chapter)
164. Chapter 161 Banquet and dance, inducement and expectation.
164.
As soon as she finished speaking, Sylphy's entire body stiffened.
The exposed skin was covered with a layer of red.
When she heard the word "ball", the first moment, some "pictures" full of her girlish feelings popped up in her mind.
Then Hilda captured this scene extremely accurately in an instant.
Or perhaps, this was part of her 'induction'.
Sylphy's pupils trembled, but she quickly reacted.
"Why is there someone else dancing on Alice's birthday?"
Hilda looked at Sylphy's expression from a close distance, smiled, then straightened up gracefully and leaned back in the chair.
"Who says only the star of a birthday party can dance? Then what kind of dance is this?"
"The banquet will indeed begin with Alice's dance, but after that, the dance for all the guests will begin."
"By then, everyone can dance to the music in the dome hall specially prepared for the banquet, under the bright firelight."
"And at Alice's five-year-old party, she went straight into the dance session at the beginning because she was very young. Haha, I still remember that Alice kept asking for cake. She was still more cute than willful at that time. It really makes me miss her."
Sylphy nodded blankly, "I see."
But Hilda's next words instantly made her pupils tremble again.
Just listen to her say so.
"So, there will be children of nobles of all ages coming to the territory, and at this age, what better way to express your feelings to each other than dancing cheek to cheek? That's why my dear said it's a 'socializing' occasion. This is a good opportunity to deepen the connection between the nobles under your command. In-laws are undoubtedly a good way to keep the nobles together."
"Then there will be boys and girls who will invite each other to 'dance'."
"This is the 'code'."
"It is also the most direct way to express affection and closeness."
She picked up the tea.
Glancing at Sylphy.
The latter has been 'petrified'.
Hilda looked at the tea in her hand and continued to increase Sylphy's strength.
"As far as I know, the noble girls nearby are very enthusiastic. I wonder how many girls will invite Allen to dance with them? It's really exciting."
"Girl! Girls, are you inviting me?"
"Yes, noble girls may mature earlier than boys in some aspects."
Hilda pointed to her eyes.
"And from what I've observed, there are many cases where girls take the initiative to ask you out."
She looked at Sylphy's expression with eyes full of mosquito coils.
He spoke leisurely.
"So who invites you to the first dance is particularly important."
The real purpose is revealed.
After Hilda said this, she nodded with great satisfaction and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.
The teacup gradually blocked the light she cast on Sylphy's face.
At this time, Sylphy had been stunned for a long time, and her expression changed from shyness at the beginning to a little confused.
She thought of Alan.
I thought about sharing my true feelings with each other.
Then.
I thought of Luo Qixi.
The next moment.
Hilda's voice floated from behind the teacup.
".It seems your teacher is not here. Is Alan in danger?"
"What should we do, Lufei?"
Sylphy froze, her mouth opening and closing, looking very adorable.
But he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Hilda put down her teacup and looked out the window with her chin on her hand.
"I suddenly remembered that there is an evening dress here"
Sylphy thought of that very 'revealing' evening dress, and she shuddered, starting to read and reply randomly.
"Ai! Alice will ask Alan to dance!"
Hilda was really surprised to hear this. She opened her mouth in surprise, but then burst out laughing.
"Are you seriously considering my proposal?"
Sylphy opened her mouth wide.
"Ah! No! I mean Alice. No"
Hilda shook her head.
"Don't be nervous, Lu Fei, it's just a joke. I've seen them getting along for the past six months and it has nothing to do with the romantic atmosphere between boys and girls."
"See him learning swordplay with Alice."
She stopped smiling and put down her teacup.
"I don't know why. I always have an illusion that they seem to be..."
"Brother and sister."
"Speaking of my tenth birthday, it's already passed. I wonder what the tenth birthday party in the capital will be like."
"It's really curious"
In just a few words, the panic, shyness, and helplessness on Sylphy's face melted away like melting snow.
Her expression became tough again, and her reddish-brown eyes looked at Hilda very intently.
The latter was looking at the trees outside the window.
There was neither sadness nor joy in her eyes.
Because what was missed is already a fact.
and.
More than a year has passed.
I've thought about it too many times.
Alan in the royal capital.
His eldest son.
One year and ten months ago, December 31st.
How did he spend his birthday?
Will it be surrounded by James and his wife and children in the name of 'family', laughing at the banquet?
Or would he be invited to a ball just like Philip had planned, with all the noble girls in the capital flocking to him like butterflies?
Or was it because he was not actually James' biological child and was neglected by him, so he was sitting alone in a corner at night, staring at the moon in the sky?
Just follow
Is it the same thing you were doing that day?
Hilda thought about it too many times.
I have dreamed about it many times.
No results.
What I saw in my dream.
'Alan's' face is all blurry.
".Your children must be missing you too."
Hilda was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Sylphy, her lips twitched a few times, and finally she just smiled helplessly.
"He probably doesn't know he has a mother like me, but thank you for your comfort, Lufei."
Sylphy lowered her eyes, avoiding Hilda's gaze, but changed the subject and brought the topic back to what was just now.
"So you think that Alan and Alice look more like siblings when they get along."
Hilda glanced at Sylphy.
"Yes, Lufei, I always feel that he and Alice get along like siblings. I never thought of the possibility of bringing them together."
"Maybe because Alan's name is the same as my child's, I see the shadow of my own child in him."
"perhaps."
"It's an illusion."
After saying this, the two were silent for a while.
Sylphy looked up with a smile and spoke to Hilda.
"Then would you like to come and take a closer look, ma'am? It's also very interesting to see how Alan and Alice interact in class."
Hilda was stunned. She had intended to comfort Sylphy, but she had never expected her to mention this, so she responded subconsciously.
"Really? This scene makes people feel a little curious. But if I go, everyone will be nervous. When I went to the sword class before, Gileno, Alan and Rudy were obviously restrained. This is why I avoided your class."
"If I were a teacher, I wouldn't be nervous."
"As a teacher?"
Hilda was stunned for a moment and looked at Sylphy.
The latter sat upright, an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
A soft voice floated into her ears.
"Recently, we talked about the etiquette of the nobles in Boreas in our etiquette class."
"Is there anything more authoritative than your wife teaching in person?"
During the short tea time, the emotional atmosphere between Hilda and Sylphy was thick.
It is inducing.
Also looking forward to it.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are guiding and assisting each other. I can't wait to see the banquet scene! (?)
Thank you for your concern yesterday! Thank you! Orz
Although I was confused for a while this afternoon, I recovered in the evening. I saw the apprentice as an apprentice and the disciple as a disciple. I completely understood the meaning of these titles. It's so strange to say this.
But what I'm saying is that my brain is getting better.
