Thank you to Ping Ping An's Jian Lai for the three monthly votes. Thank you. A niche book has received support. I am very touched and it is famous all over the world. Thank you for continuing to vote for me. Thank you so much!
The servant at the door of the banquet hall opened the invitation card in Balian's hand, then compared it with the corresponding list, and shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, knights of the palace, lords of Norandenburg, and lieutenants of the immediate county.
Sheriff, winner of the trial by combat, warrior blessed by the God of Fire, protector of innocent girls, nemesis of despicable knights, Ser Balion Tucker has arrived! Let us welcome him with applause."
At this time, everyone in the banquet hall stopped what they were doing and stared at him collectively. This made Balian feel a little embarrassed, after all, being stared at by so many people at the same time.
Fortunately, after watching for a while, everyone clapped their hands together. After Balian greeted everyone, he was led by the servants and sat down in his seat.
Unlike at the banquet in Viscount Merrill's residence, where everyone stopped talking to Balian after applauding him, this time after Balian sat down, many people immediately came over to talk to him and make greetings.
It seems that people really have to fight for their own face. If you are just a little capable but don't follow the rules, everyone will think that you are ignorant and unsociable. Although they won't dare to trouble you openly, they will unite.
Rise up to isolate you and exclude you.
However, if you show extraordinary abilities, even if you don't follow these worldly rules and etiquette, no one will think that you are ignorant or unsociable. Instead, they will think that this is the personality that a capable person should have. No matter what
Classes are like this for most people. Respect and applause always belong to the strong and winners.
Glory, status, these good things in human society, if you don’t try your best to fight for them, you just won’t get them, and you won’t get them until you die, and you won’t get them even after you die, and no one will give them to you. This world is so simple.
, if you are not convinced, just go fight with God.
Others greeted him with smiles, and Balian naturally smiled and responded eagerly. Although no matter what the purpose of these people dealing with him, they should smile when they talk about it. These things that are just for fun, Balian, a person who was in the drinking circle in his previous life, naturally
I've done a lot of work, and I'm pretty good at dealing with these fake-smiling nobles.
While Balion was sitting there, talking and laughing with everyone, Bran came over and patted him gently, whispered a few words in his ear, and then Balion stood up and said to the person who was talking to him.
Sorry, he needs to go out for a while.
At this time, two powerful viscounts and barons also arrived, and everyone's attention was drawn to them. It was okay for Balian to leave at this time.
Under the guidance of Bran, Balian followed him out of the small door on the side of the banquet hall. As soon as he came out, he saw Puli, the maid of Janis. After seeing Balian, she bowed warmly and then smiled.
Then he said: "Sir Balian, please come with me, my lady is waiting for you in the small garden."
Through the path between the two buildings, Puli took Balian and Bran to a small garden in Earl Gerry's mansion. Jesse was standing there wearing a long dress made of blue velvet, looking into the distance.
The sea in the sunset.
After hearing the sound of footsteps, she turned around and saw Balian, showing a happy smile. At this time, Puli took Bran to sit down in the pavilion at the entrance of the garden, leaving this small garden to the two of them.
personal.
Many times, it's like this. Two people obviously have a lot to say to each other, but when they actually meet, they seem to be unable to open their mouths. They don't know where to start or how to say it.
Balian and Janis stood looking at each other and smiling for a while, and then Janis took the lead to break this not-so-awkward situation. She said: "I made this dress by myself, and it fits quite well.
"After saying this, Jesse blinked and added: "It's very good-looking, the person is good-looking, and the clothes are also good-looking."
Balian's face turned slightly red after being praised by Jesse. He took a deep breath and reminded himself not to be so nervous in front of others, and then said: "Thank you, Miss Jesse. I like this dress very much. You
His craftsmanship is really good.”
Miss Jesse covered her mouth and laughed. At this time, Balian also realized that he was really too straight. How could he talk to a girl like this? He couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Fortunately, instead of finding Balian to be unattractive, Janis felt that Balian was truly cute. She had met many young noble men, most of whom were smooth-talking, looked like gentlemen, and were very good at making girls happy.
, but their purpose in dealing with women has always been simple, either to have sex or to gain benefits through marriage.
Especially for Jesses, the only daughter of a top noble family in Brick, many people are staring at her, trying to marry her and seize the wealth accumulated by generations of the Yangwei Shuocheng and Earl Gerry families, so
After she became sensible, she became particularly cautious. She would subconsciously resent any young aristocratic man who approached her on his own initiative.
After she met Balian, she discovered that this man was different from most of the people she had met before, and it was precisely because of this that she became interested in Balian.
After experiencing the trial by combat, her impression of Balian became even better. Such a brave, upright, intelligent knight who took his promises as seriously as heaven was really worthy of her treatment. Although the family backgrounds of the two were very different, she
If you have an obvious affair with him now, it will harm him.
When Balian was upset, Jesse looked at him and thought about something, and then invited Balian to sit down with him and watch the Yangweixuo Bay in the sunset.
Janis poured Balian a cup of tea made from chamomile flowers, then looked into the distance and said to Balian: "Sir Balian, others say that your victory in the tourney must be the blessing of the God of Fire. Although I also firmly believe that
God of Fire bless you, but I believe even more that you defeated that despicable guy named Sogg by relying on your own ability."
Balian took a sip of refreshing tea and felt much more refreshed. He also followed Jesse's eyes and looked into the distance, and responded: "On the whole, it's luck. If you can honestly compare your spear skills right away,
, I absolutely can’t beat him.”
"So, is it true that you used insidious methods to defeat him, as that guy Sogg told others?" Jesses asked curiously.
Balian shook his head, "When it comes to despicable means, my little tricks are nothing compared to him sneaking up on me from behind after I spared his life. There should be nothing more despicable and shameless than this."
Jesses nodded, "That's right. Such a shameless guy dares to slander such an upright knight like you. No wonder Vulcan doesn't bless him."
"After all, I killed his horse, a poor war horse, and made him crippled. I embarrassed him twice in one year. He deserves to hate me." Balian said with emotion.
"He deserves to be injured and humiliated. As for the innocent horse, I can only say that it should find a good owner in its life. If it is not the horse that dies, then you and Puli will die. Whichever is more serious, I will
We can still tell the difference clearly." Seeing that Balion was a little sentimental when he mentioned the horse, Jesse quickly comforted him.
"Thank you, Miss Jesses, you are really considerate." Balian thanked her.
Jesse smiled and said, "If I want to say thank you, I should thank you. Without you, my Puli would have been burned to death, and that old woman Murat's control over me would have been even stronger."
"I also heard something about Sister Murat. It is said that she came on behalf of the Duchess." Balian said.
"Hi!" Jesses said melancholy, "Puli said that she envied me very much. She was born in a noble family and lived the life she dreamed of since she was born. She didn't have to worry about food and clothing.
Being bullied by others.
But people like me also have difficulties. I can be willful, but only in front of people like Pulley and Sir Sandiman. I have to be a quiet lady in front of my parents, just because I am the daughter of an earl.
, I must always pay attention to whether my behavior meets the requirements of a dignified and generous noble woman.
Personal marriage is even more so. From the moment I was born, some people have cared about my marriage. Now, I am fifteen years old and can get married. People from all walks of life want to interfere with my marriage. They don’t want to give me happiness.
home, what they want is this prosperous city.”
When Jesses said these words, he was obviously agitated, and his tone was full of anger and dissatisfaction. After hearing what she said, Balian stood up and walked a few steps forward so that he could have a better view of the sea.
Balian said: "For most of us, it is difficult to balance the responsibilities we carry and the feelings we long for. We can only choose to tilt after weighing the pros and cons. In life, we cannot help ourselves, but if there is
If given the chance, everyone would want to give it a try and come out with a situation that satisfies them."
"Then are you willing to give it a try for someone who has placed hope in you?" Jesses also stood up and came to Balian's side. The two stood side by side and looked at the sea at the same time.
At this time, the setting sun had already fallen halfway below the sea level. The cool breeze blew by. Jesses's long hair flew up and his skirt fluttered. Looking at this beautiful girl and thinking about the questions she asked, Bellion firmly
He said: "Of course I do. When you live your whole life, you live not only for yourself, but also for the important people in your heart. If you fight for her, what do you have to worry about?"
Hearing Balian's answer, Jesse's eyes flashed with a different light. She plucked up the courage and said: "Your words are enough, Sir Balian. I can wait for someone who can make my parents feel...
, his status and strength can provide a man who can continue to make the Yang Weixuo family independent and at the same time give me happiness."
"Aren't you afraid that I will fail? Miss Jesses, if I don't achieve anything, I will let you live up to your good years." Balian asked.
Jesse smiled softly, and she replied: "Rather than losing my good years, what I'm more afraid of is spending the rest of my life in pain and regret. Aren't you afraid?"
Balian nodded, agreeing with her statement.
"When I was young, I wanted to practice swordsmanship. At that time, my father personally took me to practice. I was always afraid that I couldn't practice well even if I tried hard. My father told me that as long as I work hard, even if I can't get it, there will be no regrets. It's better than anything else.
Don’t even try to be strong.” Jesses said.
"Now that the world is in chaos and war is about to break out, there are still many opportunities. It is not difficult to improve your title and expand your territory." At this point, Balian was afraid that Jesse would think she was talking big, so he quickly added, "Chaos.
It’s a step up.”
"Chaos is the ladder to ascend?" Jesses repeated this sentence thoughtfully, and then said excitedly: "This sentence makes so much sense, Sir Balian."
Then Janis bit his lip, got close to Balian, and said in his ear: "I believe you, Sir Balian."
After getting close, the orchid-like fragrance on the girl's body made Bellian a little intoxicated, but he soon woke up and found that the roots of his ears were a little hot. At this time, Jesses, who had stepped aside, smiled and looked at some
The shy Balian felt embarrassed himself.
Jesses said to Balian: "The banquet is about to begin, I'm waiting to dance with you." After saying that, Jesses turned and left.
