Quickly wear cannon fodder, she is so charming without even knowing it

Water flows eastward and leaves fall one after another. Time flies in the blink of an eye, and more than half of ten years have passed.

At night, there is a cool breeze, a bit cold, but not chilly at all. It just makes people feel the coolness. This day happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's just that in the Empire where the sun never sets, it's a festival that not many people celebrate, because it's not their own country's festival, but tonight there is a lot of excitement in a certain Duke's castle.

And in the banquet hall held today, the protagonist of this feast is none other than the Duke of Holden, Holden Lotefeller!Today is his 45th birthday!

At this moment, he looked full of energy, his face was red, and he was full of vitality inside and outside, as if he had returned to his youth!

According to past practice, it was natural to invite those nobles to celebrate.

The nobles at the banquet were all dressed very formally, and all the jewelry they wore were priceless treasures. These jewelry alone are enough to be worth a small city, not to mention the priceless pieces. The clothes are simply made of money.

At this moment, the banquet hall was crowded. All kinds of aristocrats, ladies, and business elites gathered in this hall. They were all celebrities from the upper class. In the banquet hall, everyone drank, chatted and laughed.

As the protagonist, Duke Holden was chatting with some old friends. He looked relaxed and relaxed, without any sign of nervousness or anxiety.

And there is another very important thing to be announced today, that is, his Holden's son Curtis is about to marry Enid Slytherin, the daughter of Duke Penseth.

Enid's father, Duke Penses, was one of several famous nobles on the east coast, and his power was huge.

Of course, this is all Duke Holden's personal decision now. As for his son Curtis, he may not know that his father will use the birthday party to arrange this engagement party for him.

A man and a woman were sitting in a corner of the banquet hall. The man was wearing a luxurious silver-gray dress and looked extremely handsome. Especially his eyes as deep as the sea, which looked even more charming and unforgettable at first glance!I saw an impatient look on his exquisite face, but there was a trace of haze in his blue eyes, and he was obviously in a depressed mood.

The woman next to him was about twenty years old. She was wearing a purple dress, her long hair was twisted into a gorgeous garland, and she had a diamond-encrusted necklace around her neck. She had a pretty face and fair skin. , The figure is bumpy, especially the two towering snow peaks, which look even more hot and attractive.

But such a pretty and pretty girl has a somewhat paranoid personality, and she is also extremely protective of her shortcomings. This woman is actually Duke Penseth's daughter, Enid Slytherin!

"Brother Curtis~" A coquettish voice came from her mouth. Her tone sounded coquettish and heartwarming.

"Do you think you should dance with me tonight?" Enid raised her head slightly and asked softly, with a blush on her cheeks, looking quite charming.

At this moment, she was sitting next to Curtis, holding a wine glass in one hand, and the other hand was quietly touching to put it on Curtis' arm.

Unfortunately, before she could meet Curtis, a sharp gaze was shot at her, making her tremble all over, and she retracted her arms subconsciously, with a look of grievance on her face, and she did not dare to act rashly anymore.

At this moment, the banquet hall suddenly became quiet. The crowd that was originally drinking and chatting and laughing stopped making noise at this time.

Everyone's eyes are focused on the center, where is Duke Holden!At this moment, he was looking at his only son, Curtis Lotefeller, with a happy face. He looked at the way Enid got along with his son, with a happy expression on his face.

"Hahahaha~!" Holden suddenly laughed loudly, and his laughter made people feel very hearty: "Today is my 45th birthday. I am very happy that you are here."

After finishing speaking, Holden continued: "Everyone, I have another happy thing to announce today, that is, my son Curtis is going to marry Duke Penseth's daughter Enid."

Duke Holden’s words shocked everyone around him!

Marriage!

Who doesn’t know that Curtis is the future heir of the Holden family, and that Duke Penses’ daughter is also a beautiful aristocratic lady. What’s more important is that Enid is the pampered daughter of Duke and Duchess Penses. , not even their son can compare with them. If the two get married, it will be a win-win situation for them!

"Congratulations, Duke Holden. What a joy." A middle-aged male nobleman immediately stood up and congratulated.

Other nobles also quickly echoed: "Yes, congratulations, isn't this a double happiness!"

"Congratulations, Duke Holden."

"Congratulations......"

Everyone around him also sent congratulatory messages with smiles on their faces.

Duke Holden was very happy when he saw everyone's reaction: "Thank you all for your honor in attending today's birthday party. Everyone will not be drunk tonight!" As he spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand.

As soon as he said this, everyone raised their glasses and cheered along with his actions.

But at this moment, Curtis, who was sitting on the sofa, had a gloomy look in his eyes. It was obvious that he was in a very unhappy mood: "I don't agree!"

As soon as Curtis said these words, the surroundings instantly became silent, and everyone was stunned. Apparently, they didn't expect that Curtis, who usually rarely attends banquets, would say such inappropriate words when he did!It seems that the rumors that he and Duke Holden are not getting along are true.

Everyone knew that the relationship between Curtis and Duke Holden was not on good terms, but due to Curtis' identity, they couldn't say anything. At this moment, everyone couldn't help but look at Curtis with a little more pity.

"Curtis!" Duke Holden's face darkened: "What did you say? Are you in charge of this matter?!"

"Haha~, do you think I'm joking?" Curtis smiled disdainfully, his face full of ridicule.

His tone was full of provocation: "I said I don't agree, and no one can make the decision, including you."

"You!" Duke Holden's face turned livid: "You don't agree, right? OK, you really have strong wings."

When Curtis' mother Belina saw this scene, she quickly stepped forward to dissuade her: "You...Curtis, are you crazy? Today is your father's birthday party."

"Mom, you should take care of yourself first."

Curtis threw Belina away with a wave of his hand, and now he looked at Holden, with a cold arc on his lips: "You'd better not force me, otherwise the entire Lotefeller family won't be able to survive alone. "

Holden threw the wine glass in his hand angrily and shouted angrily: "Asshole! Are you threatening me? Get out of here!"

The wine glass then hit the ground, and a loud bang exploded in the huge banquet hall. The fragments flew everywhere, shocking everyone present.

Everyone looked at Duke Holden, all of them looked silent, but they couldn't help but cursed in their hearts.
