Black Mark of Rebirth

Chapter 11 Dinner

On this day, it happened to be the first dinner party held at Charles' house, and I was the protagonist.

They said it was a dinner party, but I had just eaten. Not long after noon, I was still taking a nap, so Jenny and the others woke me up and gave me a fragrant bath of orchid petals.

I really don't understand where they got me so many kinds of petals, some are purple, some are white, they wash me so fragrant, and then put me on layer after layer of clothes, wrapping me almost naked But take it easy, and by the time they get me out, the dinner party will almost begin.

When I walked into the hall with Mitchell, who was also dressed luxuriously and extravagantly, on the left, and Luo Hua on the right, as if agreed, the music inside stopped, and I didn’t know where the lights came from. It shines directly on the three of us. ,

I guess, this is not a real light, but a magical effect.I feel ashamed when I think of this. It has been more than two months since I came to this different world, and I have never seen magic. Well, does Jessica treat me well?He's a priest, not a magician.

"Let me introduce to you: this is my son, Ann Charles." While Mitchell said, he pushed me forward. There was a gasp.

"I announce: the dinner party has begun!" At the same time as Mitchell's voice sounded, the music also sounded, and the lights were turned on, and the entire hall was filled with colorful and beautiful halos.

Luo Hua and Ivy, the two little P children, got into the food when Mitchell announced the start, and I followed Mitchell to meet people:

This is the representative of the emperor, that is the representative of a certain prince, this is from the Anthony family, that is from the Robert family, and this is from the temple... I laughed so hard that my face became stiff, and I can recognize people and brains It was also messed up, and I finally took an opportunity to go to the corner to drink some juice.

It's really frustrating, I'm not really from the Charles family, why do I have to deal with so many things?Why do I have to remember so many things, why do I have to face so many people, it's annoying.

It was the most intense time of the banquet. Although I was the main character, boys and girls gathered together to chat about love and so on, older people also gathered together to chat about career and so on, and women chatted about clothes and jewelry together. , Men just talk about women, and when children are in a pile, they also talk about children's things.

I don't know where I should run, I'm tired anyway, I just want to find a place to rest my feet and tidy up my face stiffened from laughing.

I found that there was a little commotion in front of me. It is everyone's nature to like to watch the excitement, so I walked in the direction of the commotion.

"You bastard, you've soiled Miss Ben's shoes." In the front was a girl who was the same size as Ivy, but with a disgusted and vulgar face on her better appearance, wearing a gorgeous and flowing white dress, A pair of white leather shoes were exposed, but on the toes of the shoes, there were some stains caused by pastry dripping.

And the people kneeling on the ground and bowing their heads are people in black clothes, probably some servants of Charles' banquet, well, they are the servants of my house, I don't have any sense of substitution.

"Slave, can you afford to pay for Miss Alice's shoes?" A man standing beside Miss Alice said, at the same time coolly, in order to win the favor of the beauty, he stomped on the kneeling man.

The man in black kneeling on the ground was kicked aside, I frowned, how could it be Arnold?But there was still no expression on his face, as if it was none of his business, it was not him who was beaten and scolded?Or has he reached the highest level of martial arts, refined?

But seeing A Nuo's bruised face, bloody mouth, and A Nuo who was slowly struggling to kneel upright, his body was also injured very obviously. Don't guess, before I saw it, he was inhumanely injured. treated.

Did Arnold accidentally spill something on Miss Alice's shoe?So he was beaten?

This is not a big problem at all, he has been abused so far?It's really an evil foreign old society, and I despise it very much.

Want to go see it?Or do you pretend you can't see it?

Hey, you have to be kind. Although I'm not really Mitchell's illegitimate son, people have announced that I'm his son and treat me like his son. I shouldn't have walked away.

Hey, I am such a kind and kind child.

When the man was about to grab Arnold's second kick, I was already standing between Arnold and the man, with a professional smile on my face, and asked the woman named Alice: "Beautiful and noble lady, what happened? I Can I help you?"

The man and Alice were stunned for a moment, and the man withdrew the kick he was about to kick.Fortunately, they don't look at me as a monk, they also look at Charles as a Buddha.

Alice seemed a little surprised by what I said to her, with a slight shyness on her face.

"This servant soiled Miss Alice's shoes." Alice didn't speak, but the admirer next to him spoke for her.

"I believe that the noble Miss Alice will not be as knowledgeable as a servant!" I faced the admirer coldly, then turned my head and continued to flatter the person named Alice with a professional smile: "Miss Alice, Is it an honor for me to invite you to dance together?" I bent down very gentlemanly, stretched out my hand, and pointed to the music that had been played earlier, and many couples of men and women were dancing off the court.

"This..." Miss Alice looked hesitantly at the small flaw on her shoe, with a pure expression.

"Let this slave lick Miss Alice's shoes clean." The flower protector next to him pointed at Arnold and said fiercely, "Or, just hand it over to the Earl!"

I looked down, and Anuo, who was kneeling and bowing his head all the time, seemed to tremble a little. I don't know if it was because of the last sentence or the next sentence of the flower protector.

He moved, moving forward slowly.

I frowned slightly, did he really just add it?This is too insulting and bullying, but it seems that the nobles here don't treat the servants as human beings, but as animals.

"Miss Alice, how can the shoes of such a temperamental lady allow the servants to have intimate contact? Not even your shoes!" I smiled sweetly at Alice, and stretched out my hand to stop the woman kneeling on the ground. Alright Arnold.

A Nuo seemed very surprised, a pair of blue eyes looked at me with some astonishment, and then quickly lowered his head.

"Since my servant in Charles's house did something wrong, let me, Ann Charles." I knelt down on one knee, glanced at A Nuo secretly, and met A Nuo's eyes in parallel, At this time, the blue eyes showed a very surprised message, and he couldn't believe it.

How the hell do you think I'm going to lick her shoes?I smiled slyly at A Nuo, quickly took out a white handkerchief from my pocket with my right hand, and wiped the cakes on her shoes, it was only a little dirty, do you need to make such a fuss?Just wipe it clean.

In other words, in my previous life, I still polished shoes on the street for a while. I have already done this kind of thing very elegantly and noblely from simple operations.

After wiping, I stood up gracefully, still with a smile on my face: "It was the Charles family's fault for scaring the beautiful lady. Ann sent a Penglai pearl to apologize to Miss Alice. I hope you can accept it." Penglai pearls are generally It is as big as ten centimeters, and it is said to be a relatively high-level symbol of wealth. I heard that there are only a few dozen in the whole of Neuss, but it seems that the Charles family is very rich, and there are more than 20 of this kind of thing.

Anyway, the man named Mitchell said that I was his son, so it shouldn’t be a problem if I borrow some of his things to give away, right?

The flower guard opened his mouth to say something, but Alice gave him a hard look, but he didn't speak.

"For Ann Charles' sake, Miss Ben won't bother with lowly people." Alice glanced proudly at A Nuo who was kneeling.

"Thank you, Ms. Alice, it's really my honor." After kicking A Nuo, he said sharply, "Why don't you hurry up and get the gift?"

"Your subordinate obeys." A Nuo didn't raise his head. He lowered his head and nodded in my direction, then stood up and walked out. When he stood up, his body was still shaking a little.

Looking at his back trying to walk straight, he should be fine.

I looked back at the flower guard who had been courting Miss Alice. He was tall, thin, and had a stern look on his face. I smiled at Alice again. I bent down again, stretched out my hand, and made a gentlemanly invitation to her. Dancing etiquette.

Alice lightly put her hand on mine, and danced with me. During this period, I kept using my three-inch sales promotion tongue to praise Alice, which made her smile and blush... …

Arnold, I can only help you in this way. To be honest, what am I?It's just someone used by the Earl named Mitchell, although I still don't see any value for me to use.

Another one, do I have real rights?Looks like there is no?

After I learned the basics, I realized that the concept of hierarchy in this world is too strong. Aristocrats killing servants and civilians are like crushing an ant, which is darker than feudal society.

But now, this different world is equivalent to a society where slave society and feudal society coexist, and the Charles family seems to have no slaves.

However, I am also very glad that I can be used by Mitchell. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be his illegitimate son in name, maybe I would be a slave now.

In other words, although I do things in a positive way, if I want to live a life of slavery that is not as good as pigs and dogs, I guess I can't bear it and would rather commit suicide.

Thinking about these messy things, finally a piece of music is over, Alice took the Penglai pearl I picked up from Arnold, and forgot about everything, and I can finally rest my face stiff from laughing, An honorable retirement to go behind the scenes.

Looking at all kinds of living beings in a corner that everyone didn't notice: everyone was dancing, chatting and chatting, seeing our beloved Earl Mitchell was chatting with the people in the temple, both of them were smiling fake, My teeth are sore from seeing it, the earl is indeed an earl.

Inadvertently, I caught a familiar figure, which belonged to Luohua in purple clothes. I don’t know where Ivy ran to, and he was not next to him. He was sitting in front of a table and eating cake with great relish. The face is also covered with cream.

Seeing Luo Hua's self-satisfied look, I smiled slightly.

If I basically have no feelings for Mitchell, it can be regarded as a pawn in his hand, and sometimes I will satirize him in my heart when I am in the mood.But for his son Luo Hua, he really felt his liking for me. I don't know if liking is contagious, but I really like him too.

There were also mentally handicapped children in the orphanage in my previous life, but I hated it when I saw it. I never thought I was a caring person, but when I saw Luo Hua, I felt love. Probably, this is the fate between me and him, right?

I saw a few noble children walking towards him, holding a lot of inexplicable things in their hands, with malicious smiles on their faces, and winking at each other.

My intuition told me that this situation is not good, so I patted my face, touched my swollen calf, and walked towards Luo Hua.

"Luohua, I'm eating cake!" A little girl about ten years old asked him. The little girl was wearing a noble and generous doll dress. Her totem was a gray rose. She was the eighth child of Adolf Anthony, the head of the Anthony family. Maggie Anthony.

"En." Luo Hua ignored her, staring at the cake in front of him, and hummed casually.

"Don't eat the cake." That Maggie Anthony winked at a boy next to him, and that boy took the cake from Luo Hua's hand.

"Come on, Luo Hua, eat this." As she said, Maggie handed the black thing she got from somewhere unknown to Luo Hua.

Luo Hua took it over. With his three-year-old intelligence, he couldn't tell who was a good guy and who was a bad guy.He asked: "Is this thing delicious with cake?"

"Yes, it's better than cake. We've all eaten it, don't you think so?" Maggie asked the people behind her.

"Yeah, it's delicious!"

"Of course it's better than cake."

The people behind booed, Luo Hua smiled, believed what they said, and put the black thing into his mouth.

"Luo Hua, don't eat." I walked to Luo Hua's side and patted off the things in Luo Hua's hands.

When Maggie saw me coming, she seemed to feel that Luo Hua couldn't be teased, so she found an excuse and left to find fun with her, and the attendants behind her also followed suit.

"Ann." Luo Hua looked at me pitifully, and then secretly glanced at the black thing on the ground, as if he felt very sorry that he couldn't eat the food that was said to be better than cake.

"Luo Hua, be good, listen to Ann, let's eat cake." I dragged Luo Hua to another table to eat cake.

"Okay." Luo Hua became happy again, that's great, he doesn't have to think about anything, he doesn't have to think about anything, he is satisfied with something delicious.

Seeing his smile, the dull mood just now was not so heavy.

"After we finish eating the cake, let's eat dragon fruit together!" I said while patting Luo Hua's head.

"Okay!" Luo Hua smiled at me, then bowed his head and went to fight for the cake.

While eating the cake, another big fat man came over to say hello to me and pushed Luo Hua aside, as if he belonged to one-tenth of the sphere of influence, he couldn't stop laughing and praised my beauty, Praise me for being smart, those compliments make me want to vomit.

I really want to shout: I am not Mitchell's son, you flattery is wrong.

But I know, it is estimated that after I yell like this, today will be the day of my death next year.

Seeing the flattering people around me, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I slipped out of the garden on the pretext of needing to go to the bathroom.
