Chapter 650 Conversation
Generally speaking, at such a banquet, Purficott will always be the undoubted protagonist. Whether it is the guests of the banquet or the operation of the entire banquet, she will be the core.
If Purficott was a normal aristocratic lady, many people would have invited her to dance at this time.
This is one of the essential parts of the banquet, but generally speaking, few people come to invite Purficott to dance, and she never dances with anyone.
It's not that she can't, it's that she doesn't like to have close contact with anyone of the opposite sex.
Even her loyal old housekeeper was very careful in this regard and would not easily have physical contact with Purficott.
But at every banquet, there will always be one or two who are stubborn, or who think that they are enough to make the Earl of the North fall in love with her at first sight, and charm her like other noble ladies.
However, for Purficott, when this kind of person appears in front of her, it is like a peacock showing off its gorgeous feathers, but in fact, as long as he turns around, he can see his bare buttocks. .
Most of these people are playboys, either the second sons of the family or the heirs of small noble families.
After all, the heir carefully cultivated by a truly great noble family will know very clearly that it is impossible for him to influence his own marriage, let alone have anything to do with a woman of noble status and high status like Purficott, like other noble ladies. romance.
What a joke, if you dare to do such a thing, you will really be blocked by the steam knight.
And if Purficott really had this idea, he would have already discussed all the major life-long matters with him before he was invited to dance at the ball. The ball was just a formality.
Not only that, behind it is basically just a political marriage, not any feelings.
Another very important point is that the two families are well matched. Only if the two families have the right identities can they have the possibility of going further.
Otherwise, neither the woman nor the man would agree with a marriage with a huge difference in status.
This also led to the fact that after several lessons, no one would invite Perfectcott to dance at the banquet, even if she was the most dazzling woman in the room.
Although considering that Purficott is only eighteen years old now and has not even celebrated her eighteenth birthday, all this is actually not a big deal.
And now it is really not easy to find a suitable marriage partner who is a good match for Purficott.
After all, her identity is here. Finding a suitable marriage partner for her is no less than finding a suitable marriage partner for Princess Anne.
Not a prince from another king, but at least a direct heir to the Duke's family.
As for the others? Sorry, they didn't even get a chance to stand in front of Purficott and ask her to dance.
But today, a man who was not afraid of death still appeared in front of Perfectcott. After bowing to her, he extended his hand to invite: "Dear Earl, would I be honored to ask you to dance?" This is a person who is not afraid of death. He is a handsome young man with a tall figure and handsome appearance. He is wearing a navy major uniform and looks very attractive indeed.
But Purficott just looked up at him and refused: "Since you know my identity, you still come to ask me to dance?"
"As the protagonist of tonight's dance, for a beautiful girl like you, it would be a pity and pitiful if no one invites you to dance, wouldn't it?" The young man tried to persuade Perfectcott, and at the same time tried his best to Show your gentlemanly demeanor whenever possible.
However, Purficott just leaned on the sofa, exuding his aura as the Earl of the North and said: "Surface, if you think it is pitiful that no one invites you to dance, you should disappear from my eyes immediately. ! I don’t want to be an eyesore!”
Facing Purficott's fierce aura, although the young navy lieutenant commander's face changed obviously, he still maintained his dignity well and withstood the pressure from Purficott.
This made Purficott couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then smiled: "It's quite temperamental. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a chance. You have one minute to think of a reason that can convince me."< br>
Facing Purficott's words, the young naval lieutenant commander shook his head after thinking for a while and said: "I'm afraid I will let down your kindness, Lord Earl. I really can't think of any reason that can convince you to accept my invitation.
After all, this kind of social interaction does not mean much to you, and none of the guests at this banquet is worthy of your pity.
Even I have to admit that besides feeling pity that a beautiful girl like you is not invited, I also want to curry favor with you, the noble Earl of the North, in order to find a good job for myself. ”
"He is somewhat knowledgeable, and what he said is true." Purficott made some comments about the young naval lieutenant commander in front of him, and then motioned for him to sit on another sofa next to him: "Sit down. Well, I won’t agree to anyone’s invitation to dance, but your words and demeanor make me think you are a talent, so I want to ask you something.”
"Please give me your orders, Your Majesty the Earl." The young naval lieutenant commander saluted Purficott and then sat on a sofa next to her.
And his sitting down undoubtedly shocked others, and everyone was curious about who could receive such courtesy.
Purficott didn't pay attention to the atmosphere that made the young naval lieutenant commander sit on pins and needles, and just asked him: "What is the current situation in Belloberg? Are the prices of food sold in grain stores stable and transparent? Can the people live and work in peace and contentment?"
"The current situation in Belloberg is not bad. Even the vast majority of the poor at the bottom can have enough food and clothing. It's just that the nobles..." The young navy lieutenant commander showed a little helplessness on his face, and then explained: "Although they They are the main force in the market boom, but it is not without problems, especially as the situation gradually stabilizes, they begin to make more demands
Within a reasonable range, this can indeed promote economic development; but once it goes too far, it can become a disaster. ”
"No, no, no, that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking what you think of the city's economy and people's livelihood, not what you think of the nobility." Perfectcott waved his hand and then repeated the question. Again.
"I think..." The young naval lieutenant commander told Purficott his opinion.
