Chapter 787

The melodious music in my ears, the skirt flying up and down in front of my eyes, and the goblet in my hand with an amber halo.

This is Mario's night life, which seems gorgeous and leisurely, but it will be boring after a long time.

Not to mention, those guys who come up to chat with you from time to time, but just talk about it to hide their clinging heart. To be honest, none of what those people said was solid.

Compared with Maca who is still thinking hard in his office, Mario's life is indeed much more luxurious, and he doesn't have to worry about this and that. However, this is not the life he wants.

"...Good evening, Master Augustine. It's a pleasant surprise to meet you at this ball...Have you not chosen your first dance partner tonight? I wonder if my little girl is lucky..."

Mario sighed inwardly, but he had to put down the wine glass in his hand for the time being, and tried his best to add a fake but perfectly perfect smile to his face.

"Oh, Mr. Shackleton, hello..."

Mario still knew this bald middle-aged wizard with a big belly. Not only did he know each other, but he could also recite all of the other party's family background fluently, and he could even call out the name of the other party's granddaughter who was just born a few days ago.

No, if you think that the Shackleton family is some outstanding wizarding family, you are very wrong. Mario still remembered that the last time he saw this bald man was more than half a year ago, when he was just an ordinary material merchant.

However, it is different now.

Due to the recent Hogwarts Alchemy Contest, the trend of alchemy suddenly spread throughout the world of magic.

Although the champion of that event is still undergoing complex interrogation, and there is no update on the legacy of Nicole Flamel, the effect of promoting alchemy has already been achieved.

And Shackleton, an ordinary material merchant for generations, made a lot of money this time because of the source and reserves of alchemy materials.

To put it bluntly, this is just an upstart.

However, whether it is a rich family background or a so-called nouveau riche. Anyone with tangible interests deserves to be properly friendly with the Augustine family.

No, if I had to say it, as an heir to the Augustinian family who had been taught by his family since childhood, Marius would not do any words or deeds that were not in line with his status.

Even though he only wants to be alone in his heart now, but when it's time to socialize, he can still greet him with a smile. Because what his face represented was actually the Augustine family itself.

"Oh, Miss Shackleton, your eyes are as intoxicating as the wine in this glass. I think I would like to invite you to slide on the dance floor with me, and dance comfortably to the same intoxicating music...  "

The words against his will followed one after another, and Mario knew that he would never run out of words. Because since he was very young, he has already started to copy and recite all kinds of "useful" sentences that "fit his status".

And these words, he can say it to any woman who is valuable to the family, and he must say it well and completely.

The Augustine family, a wizard family that was quite famous thousands of years ago, is an ancient wizard family with a profound heritage.

It's a pity that although most outsiders don't know about it, Marius, as the designated heir, does know about it. That is, this family is no longer as good as before.

Not long after, after dancing with the older "Miss" who was ordinary in appearance and figure and had rough palms, Mario returned to his original seat.

Yes, he participated in this kind of "upper" wizarding society activities almost every day, and he was tired of it.

"Ugh……"

He shook his head lightly, didn't say anything, just picked up his glass again and took a sip.

In fact, sometimes he would think about something again - if the wedding had been held as promised, would his life be better than it is now?

Maybe!

only,

Some things are in the past; some people, if you miss it, you miss it. Even though it was the woman's family's fault to renege on the marriage, the current Augustine really didn't have the confidence to argue with the other party.

Mario, who was drinking the wine and stirring the aroma in his mouth, was thinking about it when he suddenly noticed a figure passing by the corner of his eyes, and he immediately knew that someone was coming.

However, just when he put down the goblet again and was about to "cope" as before, he suddenly paused for a while.

There are two reasons for Mario's pause: first, the "Miss" who came towards him was a very eye-catching beauty; second, he didn't know him.

On the second point, don't underestimate him, Mario Augustine!

Not to mention the fact that he can memorize the genealogy of the established forces in the world backwards, and even the rise of many "upstarts" in modern times, he is also supplementing his understanding every day.

Just like the bald man just now, he belongs to the typical latter.

Furthermore, at his age, those unmarried women who are not much different in age need to be paid most attention to. It stands to reason that he can remember the name and appearance of all the girls worthy of attention, which is even more important than him reciting the spell.

"The families that can participate in this dance are all of a certain background..." Mario smiled as he kept recalling the album in the study, "But...whose daughter is this?"

Seeing the beautiful woman with a graceful figure getting closer and closer, Mario, who couldn't find the relevant memories at all, could only suppress his thoughts, and prepared to use clichés to suppress the scene first.

Maybe after talking a few more words, he can think of something?

However, Mario's thoughts were destined to be in vain. Because before he had time to take the initiative to speak up and maintain respect for women, he saw the other party turn around not far in front of him, and went directly to sit down at an empty table next to him.

There is no doubt that Mario is a little embarrassed now, but he is also a little lucky.

If the other party had taken one more step this way just now, he would have opened his mouth to speak. At that time, what he will encounter is being ignored by a lady on the spot.

This kind of scene not only had a great impact on Mario's face, but even the Augustine family he represented would be laughed at by some of his opponents.

Such negative effects are obviously not that great, but for the Augustine family, which is heading for decline, it can't happen if it doesn't appear.

If not for this, his life as Mario Augustine would not be so tiring!

After pretending to casually leaned over to look at someone on the dance floor, Mario leaned back on the chair again.

His gaze was mainly in the direction of the Veevas in the middle of the dance floor, but from the corner of his eyes, he couldn't help but glance at the woman just now.

What is the origin of this woman? The turning around before... Did she do it on purpose?

Who knew, just when Mario took a few more glances and was about to withdraw his eyes and pick up the wine glass, the woman actually took the initiative to look at him.

What made Mario even more angry was that the woman not only looked at it, but even raised her wine glass to give him a little signal. A smile with some deep meaning made Mario's fingers holding the goblet twitch lightly.

Sure enough, it was intentional! Moreover, this can be said to be mocking him!

"This is really..." Mario reluctantly raised his glass, at least he was not rude, "Well... this is really beautiful..."

Although I feel a little nervous in my heart, beautiful things always give people a natural good impression. What's more, I have never seen a woman who would tease him like this about Mario Augustine!

Even though the running situation in the family is unavoidably worrying, outsiders don't know it yet. In the eyes of other families, Augustine's prestige is still the same, and he has always been a very strong "thigh".

"And with a lot of personality."

Mario suddenly felt that there seemed to be a touch of fresh color in this boring ball hall, which was particularly clear in the dullness of gray, white and black.

Of course, this only aroused his interest.

In the face of expanding communication on behalf of the family, an unknown beautiful woman is not enough to attract his excessive attention-heir education from childhood told him that everything about him will serve the great cause of the family.

With a sigh of relief, Mario smiled at the other party, then turned his head and stopped looking at her.

However, although he didn't want to get to the bottom of it, it didn't mean that the other party didn't bother anymore.

Five minutes at most. When Marius casually said a few words to a male wizard who came to "chat" and watched him go, the woman came over with a wine glass.

"This is what to do again..."

Mario watched her pass by his seat, and then unceremoniously sat across the round table. On that jade-like soft face, there was a subtle chuckle just like before.

"Master Augustine, good evening," the woman said with a smile, "I saw you so busy at the ball, as if every girl wants to dance with you, how hard it is?"

This woman clearly had a smile on her face, and every word she said seemed to be a compliment, but why did it sound full of irony when combined?

"It's all about being loved by all the ladies, so how can it be called hard work... This beautiful lady, I wonder if I'm lucky enough to know your name?"

At first, Mario said the cliché without changing his face, but then went straight to the place where he was most puzzled in the next sentence, which shows that he was very curious in his heart.

Hearing the words, the other party casually brushed the hair on his shoulders, and lowered his eyelids slightly.

After making Mario wait for a few seconds, she opened her red lips and said slowly:

"You probably haven't heard of my name, Master Augustine, but it doesn't matter, because you will soon remember it firmly in your heart..."

"I don't have a last name, but I have a name I like very much—it's called 'Miriam.'" ()
