"Miss Sophia, it's almost time. The Duke and Master Lukaz are already waiting in the hall. Please change into your dress as soon as possible and go to the dinner."

Baron Scott said with a smile.

At the same time, he winked at the guards around him, and more than a dozen silver-level guards surrounded him without hesitation, surrounding Sophia.

Feeling the guard's lock, the girl said self-deprecatingly:

"You really look down on me with so much silver."

"It's just to protect your safety. After all, you are the future countess and the next border electorate."

Baron Scott said with a smile.

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the two most powerful guards rushed forward and stood behind Sophia.

"Miss Sophia, are you going to the hall yourself, or let our guards lead the way?"

The old housekeeper looked at the ugly girl and said gently.

After saying that, he glanced at Sophia's gradually clenched fists and the slightly restless magic on her body, meaningfully:

"Of course, it's still in the war period, and your identity is still a little too sensitive, so as the butler of the Rosen family, I sincerely suggest that you don't do impulsive things, otherwise... it may cause some unnecessary misunderstandings."

With Baron Scott's words, the guards who came to us held the weapons at their waists as if they were cooperating, and the two guards standing behind Sophia seemed to have the intention of stepping forward to control the girl...

Their eyes looked at Sophia were cold and cold, and the locked breath made the girl's heart feel cold.

She had no doubt that if she had any resistance at this moment, she would probably be controlled by the other party immediately.

"No, I can leave myself."

Sophia snorted coldly and shook the guards' hands away.

"That's right. Accepting a marriage with the Rosen family is an excellent choice for you and the Rosen family."

Looking at the girl's compromise, Baron Scott smiled and said authentically.

Under the "escort" of more than a dozen guards, Sophia, who had changed into a white evening dress, came to the city lord's hall with expressionless expression.

The hall was very lively. The nobles of the empire had already arrived. The melodious music was slowly singing, the gorgeous wine table and exquisite food were more luxurious than the ones seen by the girl a few days ago.

And when Sophia entered the hall, she immediately attracted the attention of the entire hall.

The beauty of the elves is well known? Although the girl has only inherited half of the elves' blood, her appearance is enough to be called a stunning beauty.

Especially now when wearing this aristocratic white dress that is imitating the elf clan, it highlights the girl's extraordinary temperament.

For a moment? The whole hall became a little quieter.

Until a crisp sound of glass shattering broke the silence.

It was a waiter holding a tray.

He was stunned when he looked at the beautiful girl without realizing it? He accidentally tripped.

The spilled wine almost sputtered onto the girl's white long dress, making the old butler Baron Scott's face look ugly instantly.

"Unuseful waste? The shame of the Rosen family! Go down and find Sir Dolfe to receive the punishment!"

He angrily scolded the waiter who had fallen on the ground.

But? A crisp cold snorkeling interrupted him:

"Just accidentally, why be so harsh?"

It's Sophia.

The half-elf girl bent down slightly and said to the waiter while helping to pick up the broken wine glass on the ground:

"Are you okay?"

"I... is fine? Sorry! Sorry! Dear sir!"

The waiter climbed up from the ground? He said stutteringly with a red face.

"Go down, be careful in the future."

After watching the other party fall to the ground, the gorgeous deacon on his body is wearing exposed clothes full of patches, Sophia sighed and said.

Baron Scott raised his eyebrows slightly? Then he snorted coldly and said to the waiter:

"Don't thank Miss Sophia yet? Get out!"

"Thank you! Thank you sir! Thank you..."

The waiter bowed repeatedly? Then he stepped down in panic...

And the discussion in the hall slowly rang again:

"That's Sophia from the Wells family, right?"

"What a beautiful and interesting kid..."

"Interesting? Hey... I actually went to support the waiter and asked me to say that it was because I didn't have the dignity of a noble..."

"Yes, it's still half-elves after all? That's to be a little better-looking."

"Can't say that? After all, they are the orthodox heirs of the Wells family..."

"A orthodox heir... did the Rosen family actually get allegiance from the Wells family? They also signed a marriage contract with the only heir... It seems that they will become the only family in the history of the empire to have two seats for the electorate!"

"Mr. Lukaz is so lucky!"

"Poor girl, I heard that Master Lukaz not only has intelligence problems, but also seems to have no fertility..."

"Hiss... Then doesn't this mean that the title of Border Nemesis may be inherited by the main branch of the Rosen family?"

"I should adopt a child from the future Duke's house."

"Who knows, now in chaos, it's not certain how long the position of the Countess Wells can sit. The Maple Leaf Corps is not poor at all. Even if you leave the throne of the electoral prince, the value of the merged territory is very attractive to the Duke's family..."

"Hiss...you mean..."

“Hey, hunting accidents, horse riding accidents, aren’t uncommon.”

The nobles in the hall were talking, looking at the girl with curiosity, mercy, ridicule, and indifference.

Their voice was not loud, mixed with the music in the hall.

Of course, because of the elf bloodline, even though the nobles deliberately lowered their voices, many conversations still came into Sophia's ears.

There was no expression on her face, but her hands were slightly clenched, and her nails were almost printed in the flesh.

In the hall, Duke Rosen and his eldest son Lukaz have arrived.

Lukaz is a young man who looks a little dull. He is sitting on a chair with wooden wheels, giggling silly, looking at the food on the table, saliva keeps flowing down from his mouth...

The nobles in the hall had long been used to his appearance.

Lukaz, the fool of the Duke family, has long been well known to the upper nobles of the Empire.

Of course, the Rosen family is in great power, so naturally no one dares to laugh at this moment.

"Sir Duke, Miss Sophia is here."

Baron Scott brought Sophia to Duke Rosen and said respectfully.

Duke Rosen narrowed his eyes, glanced at Sophia, and then praised with a smile:

"Miss Sophia, you are so beautiful today, worthy of being the pearl of Zeroland."

After saying that, he saluted respectfully to Bishop Santis who also entered the hall:

"My Bishop, everything is ready, and I'm waiting for you to officially represent the church and bless the newcomers."

Bishop Santis smiled slightly:

"Nature, blessing the new man is my Lord's favor to the world."

With the support of the bishop, Duke Rosen seemed quite happy. He laughed a few times, then made gestures and pressed slightly toward the entire hall...

As he moved, the band playing music stopped playing, and the nobles attending the banquet gradually became quiet.

Looking at the sights that everyone was cast, Duke Rosen was very satisfied.

He smiled slightly and then said loudly:

"Dear gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the Rosen family dinner. Today... I, Franz von Rosen, have a major happy event to be announced!"

After saying that, he signaled the maid, and soon someone stepped forward and pushed the silly smiled Master Lucas to the front of the hall.

However, just as Duke Rosen was about to announce the engagement, a crisp voice rang out in the hall:

"Slow down!"

It's Sophia.

Her voice was very loud, and she could hear it clearly in the quiet hall.

Duke Rosen frowned slightly.

"Miss Sophia, now is the critical moment of the ceremony. I will discuss what you have after the ceremony is over."

He glanced at the girl deeply and said.
To be continued...
