Chapter 99
Half an hour later, a large number of suitors had gathered in the hall of Maple Leaf Village Manor.
Creek Keane was still calm in the wheelchair, but the Baroness who was pushing the wheelchair was already dissatisfied and clearly wrote the word "notic" on her face.
His subordinates and guards were all facing a great enemy. They were so nervous that they did not dare to act rashly, and they seemed very anxious and embarrassed, and they were restless.
This made many suitors secretly proud and less scruple in their hearts.
Even the strong man who can come back alive from the battlefield of "The Sun's Extinguishing" will eventually have the last day of death. Look at what Crick looks like now, like a beast about to die, even if it is a puppy that has not been weaned, he can sway at it.
Of course, these suitors are not puppies. On the contrary, they are actually sinister, cunning, and cruel characters, and almost none of them are good at it.
Where are the ones who are really easy to get along with and kind?
"Teacher, why do you want to gather us? Miss Anna is having a cocktail party..." Stephen complained with a bitter face, very puzzled by the teacher's decision.
Romon smiled and did not answer, but just held the wine glass and greeted the suitors he invited, and from time to time he would chat, drink a little, and say a few words with a smile.
These suitors he invited were screened and had relatively good character. Among them were knights with decline in their families, adventurers who were tired of fighting, young people who were confident in their talents, and down-and-out nobles who couldn't make it in the family just wanted to find a place to hide from the limelight.
But they are one thing that is consistent - at least in terms of Crick's morality, they are all good people.
This is enough.
So tonight, when Crick was about to use his ultimate move to clear the field, he asked Romon to come forward and invite them all over with the reputation of the Carter family.
Of course, there is another reason to invite them, which is to negotiate matters about cooperation and common development.
Anna Keane is not a famous beauty. None of the suitors really came to Keane because they admire her. These more decent suitors are relatively weak and did not have much hope. Compared to competing with dangerous elements such as Connor Griffin and Duruk Ritchie, it is better to talk about cooperation with the Carter family, which may be more practical.
Unfortunately, not all the invited people came, and some people were obsessed with the invitation and insisted on attending the "Miss Anna's cocktail party". For such people, Crick could only say that people would die if they committed suicide.
He is a good person, but he does not have the ability to be the Virgin. He cannot save anyone who insists on going to death.
After a while, Romon and all the invited people greeted him, and came to the center of the temporary venue arranged in the lobby of the rented tavern and shouted: "Welcome to everyone! First of all, please allow me to introduce to you the host of the party tonight - Miss Anna Keane!"
In an instant, the entire venue was silent. Everyone was watching Anna Keane, who was slowly walking towards her, accompanied by Lena, who was disguised as a maid, and watched her walk in from the back door of the hall, and slowly came to the center of the hall, standing next to Romon and Stephen.
No one expected that Miss Anna, who was supposed to appear at the cocktail party, would appear here!
And... it was actually introduced by Romon.
Not only that, look at where they are standing at the moment. On the far left is Romon, then Stephen, then Anna, and finally Lena - Anna is standing next to Stephen, looking like a young couple!
What does this mean? Could it be that the Keane family has decided to marry the Carter family?
It seems reasonable to think about it carefully. First of all, Stephen Carter and Anna Keane are about the same age, and then this young man looks handsome and has a certain foundation. At least in the venue here, the comprehensive conditions are indeed the best.
In this way...will others be out of the way?
Thinking of this, an impatient knight could not help but ask: "May I ask...Miss Anna is already engaged to Mr. Stephen Carter?"
He asked straightforwardly, without even a single turn, and suddenly a thoughtful suitor around him turned a black face.
Is there anyone who said this? When asked, there are only two answers: "yes" or "no". It is equivalent to forcing Miss Anna to make a decision!
Maybe Miss Anna was still hesitating and had not made up her mind at the end, but after being asked like this, she probably could only answer "Yes".
As for the possibility of answering "No"... If Stephen fails, do they have hope? Don't deceive yourself, okay!
For a moment, Wuliu Shuang looked at the reckless knight with anger, and he was puzzled and didn't understand what was wrong with him.
And the development of things was just as the carefully thoughtful suitors expected. Anna had not made up her mind at first, but when she was asked, she didn't even think about it. She turned to look at Stephen's pretty face, took a deep breath, and answered as calmly as possible: "Yes."
It is probably appropriate to use "sadness all over the world" to describe the mood of the suitors in the hall at this moment. In particular, some people noticed the hesitation in Anna's eyes, and noticed that she first turned her head and looked at Stephen before finally making up her mind to answer this.
When I saw that scene, many people felt that their hearts were broken.
But more people secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
It would be a torture if you have to continue working hard even if you have to do something that is hopeless!
I don’t know who led the lead, but someone clapped in the hall. Then others followed suit, so the applause quickly became a whole, and some even whistled, causing this small venue, which was not luxurious or lively, to fall into a joyful atmosphere.
Stephen was confused and felt a little dizzy.
Why did it suddenly... succeed?
He really never thought about this at all. Although he had talked with Miss Anna several times through projection crystal these days and talked about a lot of things. He felt that this Baron Miss is indeed a good person and is very suitable for him...
But why did it suddenly develop into engagement?
He had never expected it!
He was so confused that he subconsciously turned his head and wanted to ask the teacher.
Romon, who had been paying attention to him, immediately cast his magic. An invisible "Master's Hand" was used quietly, and gently pushed Stephen's side, making him who had originally planned to turn to look at him, turn to Anna's side.
On the other side, Ana heard Romon's voice in her ears.
"Look at this."
She was a little shy and embarrassed and subconsciously did it, raised her head and looked at Romon, and Stephen looked at him.
This is the first time that a boy and a girl have truly looked at each other since they "knowed".
They had talked several times before with the help of Projection Crystal, and they talked a lot, and they both had a good impression of each other.
But they have never met.
Even this time, both sides had never really looked at each other seriously.
After all... they are all shy teenagers.
This time, under the arrangement of Romon, they finally saw each other's eyes, and through their eyes, they saw each other's hearts.
Those were two pairs of eyes that were as clear as the same, those were two pure hearts.
Like a magnet, the eyes of both parties did not separate after they met. Their eyes were a little confused and curious at first, but soon turned into a gentle smile. The two eyes seemed to be able to speak, communicating each other's thoughts and their emotions. For a moment, they were completely selfless and threw everything around them out of the sky.
The hall gradually became quiet, and everyone smiled and looked at the boys and girls staring at each other.
I don’t know how long it took, but someone’s nose was itchy and suddenly sneeze.
In the quiet hall, the sneeze was shockingly loud, and it woke Stephen and Anna up. They quickly turned their heads, their faces flushed red, and their heads drooped deeply, as if they were carved out of a mold.
"Haha! It's really a couple!" A heroic and cheerful adventurer laughed, "You guys are indeed the most suitable ones!"
Stephen and Anna's faces turned redder, but they couldn't help laughing.
Seeing this scene, Romon couldn't help laughing, and while laughing, he raised the wine glass in his hand.
"To bless them! Cheers!"
The guests also burst into laughter and raised their wine glasses together.
"Cheers to Master Stephen and Miss Anna!"
Wine glasses were sent to their lips, and just as they were about to drink the wine full of joy and blessings, a violent sound came from outside the city.
That is the direction of Maple Leaf Village.
