Chapter 240

Preparing for a ball is a tedious and meticulous job, especially in a gathering place of nobles like Backlund, where etiquette is particularly important, and if there is a slight mistake, people will be laughed at.

But precisely because of this, the arrangement of the dance party has its own unique process, which is conventional and lacks new ideas.

Louise made a lot of arrangements in her bedroom with special care, trying to make the "guests" feel at home as much as possible, come and leave with pleasure.

"Have all the invitations been sent out?" she asked.

The maid was confident, and replied seriously: "All have been sent out, most of the guests have conveyed their willingness to participate, but there is one lady who directly refused the invitation..."

"Oh?" Louise asked curiously, "Who is it?"

The maid gave Louise a sneaky glance, and quickly gave an answer:

"It's Mrs. Ke Liya. Her husband passed away on duty. She is preparing for the funeral and has no time to accept the invitation."

Um? Major General Brett has been dead for so long, why news of his death has just been sent back to Backlund... Louise was puzzled by this, but she only replied lightly:

"That's all, it's okay."

…………

In the evening, the dance party was held as scheduled.

As Louise's first dance after coming to Backlund, if there is no real delay, the guests who receive the invitation will basically give face to attend.

In fact, this ball should have been held a long time ago, but Louise had rushed to Tingen for personal reasons, so she delayed it. Just as the "five-pound killing ambassador" incident happened, Louise had no choice but to go along with the flow and add something to the ball. stimulating element.

The guests came one after another, more or less expressing their novelty and praise for the ball to Louise, but what surprised them even more was the other familiar faces present tonight.

Earl Hall's precious daughter, Miss Audrey was present, as well as Viscount Lierson's youngest son, Cons, Viscountess Connor, Viscount Grelint, etc... Most of them were truly influential nobles, Not the most down-and-out noble descendants in Backlund.

"It seems that Miss Louise, who has just arrived, is not simple!" This is the deepest thought of many guests.

Smiling and exchanging pleasantries, Louise could almost guess the thoughts of these people, thinking with a little pride in her heart: "If I tell about the fact that I almost invited Prince Edsac to the ball tonight, I'm afraid it will make people feel uncomfortable. More people were surprised."

She once had this idea, and although Prince Edsac would most likely decline it, Triss would definitely accept it... However, the Extraordinary guards around His Royal Highness were unpredictable, so Louise finally gave up the invitation.

Smiling all the way, when the cheek muscles were about to become stiff, Louise discovered a strange combination.

Forsi was wearing a dress, outlining her well-proportioned figure, while Miss Hugh next to her was wearing a cavalier outfit, with an immature face, short and dainty, and if she guessed correctly, there should be a handful of threes hidden in the lining of her waist. spines...

Louise walked towards the two, bowed slightly and said:

"Welcome to the dance party tonight, I hope you have a good time."

"It is our pleasure, Miss Louise."

Fors responded politely, and Miss Hugh beside her bowed and saluted, but did not repeat the answer.

"To be honest, I was surprised when I saw the invitation letter you sent someone!" Fors said jokingly, as if she was just exchanging greetings.

Louise took a look at Fors who was full of smiles and Miss Hugh with a serious expression, and said with a smile:

"After tonight, the doubts in your hearts will be resolved."

"However..." She changed the subject and said, "I am not the one who invited you, but Miss Audrey. She offered to explain your doubts."

Fors and Xio looked at each other, they were both surprised that Miss Audrey was involved in such a dangerous extraordinary incident, turned around, and asked cautiously:

"Will it be dangerous?"

Louise couldn't help laughing, and pointed at the guests who were talking and laughing, and asked:

"What do you think?"

"Please forgive my offense." Fors smiled awkwardly, then pulled Xio towards the direction where Miss Audrey was standing.

Louise stayed where she was, finally clearing herself up for a while, raised her glass and took a sip of the red wine, feeling the passage of time, but did not see Bakerland coming as scheduled.

However, according to reliable news, the Intis embassy did not hold a dance party, and Bakerland should appear here to get rid of the suspicion, not to mention that there is himself, a "coquettish witch" waiting for him tonight... …

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly noticed that the "Seer" lady dressed as a maid in the corner gave a wink. Louise was overjoyed, and looked towards the door. Sure enough, Bakerland walked into the ball hall with relaxed and confident steps. A complacent look.

Bakerland has this qualification to be proud of. Under his leadership, his Intis intelligence personnel are playing around with MI9, but he has come to the dance leisurely, preparing to welcome the last "lure" to leave Backlund. Human gift".

He noticed that the owner of the ball was walking towards him, his eyes lit up slightly, Louise was wearing a deep red dress with hollow shoulders, black hair was flowing and smooth, and her deer-like eyes seemed to hide many words.

"Miss Louise, I haven't seen you for two days. Your charm is simply irresistible."

Bakerland kissed Louise's proactively extended left hand, and then complimented him enthusiastically.

During the interval between these two days, he took the time to send someone to investigate Louise, and the conclusion he got was that everything was normal. The latter came from the southern continent and was trying hard to get into the circle of nobles... Bakerland saw a lot of people like this Yes, so I gladly agreed.

"Mr. Ambassador is still so honest." Louise responded with a slightly lively expression.

Now it was Bakerland's turn to be slightly stunned. He almost thought that he had returned to Intis, because the young lady and wife of Backlund were relatively conservative and reserved, and rarely heard such interesting answers.

He laughed twice "haha" and said, "I like your frankness."

"If you have the opportunity to go to Intis in the future, you will definitely fall in love with it."

Louise showed interest in her eyes, and said cheerfully, "I have always wanted to visit various kingdoms. When the time comes, Mr. Ambassador, please do your best as a landlord!"

Bakerland patted his chest lightly, and generously promised:

"It is guaranteed to make Miss Louise feel at home and feel the enthusiasm of Intis and the unique local customs."

"I'm really looking forward to it!" Louise blinked, then her eyes fell on Bakerland's face, and she invited:

"But now it's time to dance."
