Although Locke always wanted to stay away from social interactions between nobles, Angelina would not comply with his wishes.
Holding the lover’s elbow, the two of them were like a pair of dancing butterflies, walking back and forth among the many nobles.
“Hello, Zyra, this is Locke.”
“Milly, where is your boyfriend? Why didn’t you bring him?”
“Bot, this is my fiancé, haven’t you always wanted to see him?”
. . . . . .
Angelina took Locke to meet most of her classmates, most of whom were women.
This group of future magicians is still a group of entry-level magic apprentices. Except for Qiao Jin, who has the strength of a low-level apprentice, the rest are not worth mentioning in Locke’s eyes.
Although the strength of this group of people is not high, Locke knows that Angelina pays more attention to their potential and the family behind them. Angelina, who was born in the royal family, is better at interpersonal communication than Locke, although she is Only 16 years old.
The party in the garden was not just a bunch of people gathering together to chat. The host Qiao Jin hired a whole orchestra. Most of them were nobles. Dancing was their specialty. They happened to eat some desserts and fruits. Need some exercise.
“Beautiful lady, can I invite you to dance?” A graceful man walked up to Locke and Angelina and extended his right hand to Angelina.
Beside the long table, many nobles have invited their dance partners to dance together on the open-air dance floor.
This band is of good quality, and even Locke, who has never heard music before, sounds light and airy.
But before he could savor it, someone came to the door, and the target was Angelina in his arms.
Faced with this situation, Angelina was the first to react, “I’m sorry, I’m not feeling well today.”
Angelina knew that Locke couldn’t dance, so how could she leave Locke alone in this situation? Moreover, as a princess, she had grown so big that the only one who had danced with her was her brother, that is, from other kingdoms. When Faustin’s prince asked him to dance, Angelina once dismissed him.
This can only be said to be an Omor noble with a good skin. Angelina doesn’t even know his name.
This man seemed to be rejected by others for the first time, and his face suddenly looked a little embarrassed, and he was a little at a loss.
Qiao Jin, who had been paying attention here, rushed over immediately, “Tris, come, I will dance with you!” As he said that, he stretched out his left hand and placed it in Tris’s palm.
This aristocratic man named Tris is a collateral bloodline of a certain Marquis of Princeton. Although he may not be highly valued by his family, after all, the aristocratic rank is there, and Qiao Jin cannot allow him to appear in the party he holds. Ugly.
The man also quickly adjusted. First, he snorted at Angelina and cursed someone. Then he took out the hand that was holding Qiao Jin and stopped it directly at Qiao Jin’s waist. Qiao Jin frowned. Wrinkled, she moved out calmly, then took the man in her arm and walked onto the dance floor.
Locke remained silent. He looked coldly at the young man named Tris and remembered his appearance in his heart.
It’s been so long since he had a quarrel with Angelina, and today someone actually looked down on Angelina in front of him, and even insulted her.
Although Locke doesn’t want to cause trouble, he is not a person who is afraid of causing trouble if someone threatens his relatives.
The dance ended quickly. Qiao Jin endured the young man’s offensive actions. The moment the tune ended, he politely separated from the man. The speed was so fast that the man could not react.
In this party hosted by Qiao Jin, Tris had long discovered that there were only two beautiful ones, one was Qiao Jin and the other was Angelina. Just now Qiao Jin was willing to dance with him and acquiesced to his little moves. I thought this was an easy woman to get along with, but I didn’t expect that everything was just an appearance.
It doesn’t matter whether he got an appointment with Angelina or not, Tris’s goal from the beginning was Joakim.
His uncle is an Imperial Marquis, but his father is not, and he is neither. Tris is not alone in the family. His pervert father gave him more than a dozen younger brothers and sisters. To stand out among the many brothers, Tris urgently needs to find a well-matched fiancée to stabilize his status.
Qiao Jin is his primary target. Otherwise, he, a romantic prodigal, would rarely attend such gatherings hosted by girls.
You can mess with aristocratic children, but if you mess with them, it’s hard to separate them. How can it be more chic than getting entangled with the daughter of an ordinary commoner family?
In order to inherit his father’s earldom and even get the care of his uncle who is a marquis, Tris has made plans to become a good man temporarily after getting Joakim.
Yes, it is temporary. Tris will not give up an entire forest just because of a tree.
However, it seems a bit difficult?
Although Joakim has always acted hot and enthusiastic, there have never been any scandals about her, and Tris feels that she has to take it seriously. He has seen countless women, but he can’t handle just one woman?
“Thank you.” Seeing Qiao Jin coming over, Angelina stepped forward to hug her, leaned close to Qiao Jin’s ear, and whispered her thanks.
“It doesn’t matter, this is my ball, I can’t let you down.” Qiao Jin said with a smile, she was one of the few people who knew that Angelina was the princess of the Kingdom of Forstan.
Qiao Jin can clearly distinguish between the most noble princess of a powerful kingdom and a branch of a marquis family. Moreover, she and Angelina are still good friends.
As for Tris’s father, although he was an earl like her father, he was nothing more than a drunkard, and his actual power was far inferior to that of her father. This was why she didn’t like Tris very much.
“Hey, Locke, come and thank Qiao Jin.” Angelina waved to Locke, who was still standing there.
Locke was staring at Tris. After Tris danced with Joakim, he pulled an aristocratic woman to dance another song, drinking several glasses of juice during the process.
Locke felt that the time was almost up. Sure enough, after Tris finished the second dance, under the guidance of the attendants around him, he walked out of the garden, probably to go to the toilet.
Moving outward without leaving a trace, Locke was ready to follow him.
“Where are you going?” Angelina grabbed Locke who was about to walk out.
“Well, I’m going to use the bathroom.” Locke said casually.
“Can you find it? Do you want me to send an attendant to show you the way?” Qiao Jin next to him has always been at odds with Locke, and his words are full of gunpowder.
I can’t understand why this woman always targets him, but at least she has just helped both of them, and Locke can’t refute, “No need, thank you.”
“Huh!” Qiao Jin crossed his arms and watched Locke walk out of the garden. “Angelina, why did you fall in love with such a worthless man?”
The reason why Qiao Jin hates Locke is because Angelina is one of the few friends she admits. Although they have only known each other for a month, Angelina’s shrewdness and cuteness make her know that this is a good friend. Deeply friends.
Under the love house, she felt that Locke was too ordinary. Not only was he ordinary in appearance, but his strength was only at the level of her own bodyguard, so he was not worthy of Angelina.
“No way, Locke is great.” Angelina pouted. She didn’t like her best friend saying bad things about Locke.
“I didn’t see it.” Qiao Jin raised his arms, and the two waves on his chest seemed to be squeezing out of his neck.
Angelina thought about it, pulled Qiao Jin to a corner of the ball, and began to tell Qiao Jin about Locke’s deeds when he rescued her. Of course, she didn’t tell everything about the month they lived together in the snow cave after encountering the moonlight wolf. Angelina Lina just brushed it off.
While the two women were telling stories there, Locke followed Tris.
In the bathroom, Tris had just wiped his hands with a silk scarf, but before he put it down, a black shadow came from behind, and then darkness fell in front of him.
Looking at Tris who was covered by his clothes, Locke was not polite and kicked out with a whip. Tris screamed under the clothes and rolled towards the wall, with traces of blood on the ground.
Fighting against the Crystal Scorpion Dragon these days, Locke lost some accuracy in his attacks. This blow was so heavy that Tris probably broke two ribs.
The first blow was too hard, and then the subsequent blows were lighter. Locke grabbed Tris and punched him in the abdomen several times. Within two blows, Tris was holding his stomach and unable to stand up.
There was blood-stained saliva in his mouth, and he couldn’t spit it out no matter how hard he spat, as if he was distracted.
The mute effect of the Earl’s Mansion was good. Locke was committing violence inside, but none of the attendants walking by outside noticed it.
Finally, Locke stopped after beating Tris until he could no longer get up.
The new gray coat Angelina bought for Locke was already stained with blood. Seeing that she couldn’t take it anymore, she took off the coat covering Tris’ head, revealing Tris with a swollen face and a delirious state inside.
Locke himself knows the strength of his hands. If this meal continues, it is fortunate that Tris is a knight who practices fighting spirit, otherwise ordinary people would have been beaten to death.
Next to Songshou, Locke was about to leave. He didn’t believe Tris could recognize him in this situation.
But just to be on the safe side, before leaving, Locke stomped on Tris’s head and cursed, “I’ll let you steal women from me!”
Tris tilted his head and fainted completely.
Following Angelina and Grace for so long, Locke has not learned much wisdom, but he has a lot of small brains. He is specifically trying to lure Tris to the wrong place and steal women. Of course, women can only refer to the ones just now. Joakim danced with him.
As for Master Tris, it was none of Locke’s business which love rival he suspected when he finally regained consciousness.
