Chapter 206, Yevlit: Can I Invite You to Dance?
The dark clouds are thick.
It is drizzling, and depending on the weather, there may be a heavy rain in a while.
There are not many pedestrians on the street, and the small vendors dare not go out to set up stalls. It is a rare day of rest.
‘Da’
The long boots stepped on a floor tile, splashing some dirty water.
Yevlit looked down and was speechless.
The roads in this city are not very good.
He looked at another street, because the terrain of that street is lower and there are problems with the sewers. Now there is water accumulation.
Fortunately, he does not have to pass by that street. He only needs to cross a road to get there.
‘Drip, drip’
The raindrops hit the umbrella, and Yevlit mixed in with some people who were obviously dressed luxuriously and went to the mayor's mansion.
Arrived at the door.
Line up in turn and hand out invitations.
Most of them are with their families and children.
Only Yevlit is alone.
At this time, several sons of Mayor Baz are receiving them at the door.
“Hello, sir.” The person who spoke was quite polite.
This is Baz's second son. Although he cannot inherit his father's title, he grew up in such a family, so he is very perceptive.
Among the crowd, this stranger he had never seen before, but he has a very outstanding temperament.
The calm aristocratic sense of arrogance and superficial humility and gentlemanliness, which is not a hereditary aristocratic, can never be pretended.
"Hello, my name is Yevlit." Yevlit handed out the invitation.
"Hello." This man was a little surprised. He was responsible for distributing invitations. He only knew that his sister only sent out five invitations this time, four of which he had received, all of which were his sister's sisters, and the fifth one was actually a man.
At this moment, he couldn't help but use his elbow to nudge the eldest brother next to him.
"Huh?" The eldest brother looked at it in confusion, but saw the invitation in the second brother's hand, and he looked at Yevlit in surprise.
The two looked at Yevlit together, with a look of a mother's family looking at their son-in-law for the first time.
It's true. After all, they know best how high their sister's requirements are over the years.
Sidrina didn't like any of the young men in the city, and she didn't show any interest in the young men from the capital.
The 20th birthday party was a special birthday for her sister, and today was also a special day.
This meant that from today on, the issue of Sidrina's husband must be taken seriously.
Anyway, there is no noble lady who can't get married at the age of 24 or 25, that would be really embarrassing.
So. This gentleman actually received the invitation from my sister.
Both brothers had misunderstandings. Did the girl finally get it?
Yevlit looked normal. He raised his left hand, holding a wrapped gift in a long box, and said, "This is my birthday gift for Miss Sidrina."
"Okay, okay, thank you, please come in." The two brothers quickly received the gift, and then the eldest brother blinked at the second brother, and the other party understood instantly. After Yevlit left, he immediately took a long way and went around to find his father Baz to ask him to pay attention.
[Sidrina. Is she so worried about getting married? Not really] Yevlit smiled and shook his head.
But thinking about it, it is understandable.
Sidrina is beautiful and from a wealthy family, so she must have high standards. If she doesn't meet true love, it will be more difficult for her to be compatible with others than ordinary girls.
It seems that there will be some trouble today.
The original banquet was held outdoors. Mayor Baz was particularly proud of his garden, but it was raining today, so he could only arrange it in a special banquet hall. But even so, he still opened the curtains so that everyone could see his carefully maintained garden.
‘Boom boom’
The thunder sounded behind him, and Yevlit handed the umbrella to the servant at the door.
There is a row of chairs here, all of which are shoe shiners. It rained today.
There are two more seats, he found one and sat down, and asked someone to clean his shoes.
Then he entered the house.
As soon as he entered the house, there was a hot smell and some fragrance, but Yevlit preferred the cool air outside.
So he went to get a glass of orange juice and came to the window.
"Hello, sir. You look unfamiliar. You are probably not from this town." The man opposite asked.
"Yes, I just arrived here." Yevlit nodded.
"My name is Dejie, and I am the law enforcement captain of the third street."
"My name is Yevlit."
After the two introduced themselves to each other, they started chatting.
After chatting for a while, the other party left on the pretext of something. Yevlit drank a sip of orange juice. As expected of the law enforcement captain, he did not forget to pay attention to safety here.
Not long after.
It was dark.
The lights dimmed.
Then, a spotlight hit the second floor.
A middle-sized Mediterranean old man, dressed in gorgeous aristocratic clothes, began a long speech.
This is the mayor Baz. He spoke about his daughter Sidrina with great emotion, praising how beautiful and excellent she was, and how much he loved her.
Everyone listened quietly.
Baz was a little tired of talking, so he said, "Well, now, let's welcome our heroine tonight, my most lovely daughter--"
"Sidrina!"
Another soft light shone on the door.
The door opened, and Sidrina, dressed in a gorgeous dress, walked out of the room.
Sidrina came to her father, Baz raised his hand and let his daughter hold his arm.
He whispered - in a voice that only Sidrina could hear: "Sidrina, you are so beautiful tonight, Dad swears that at this moment, all the young men in the city will fall in love with you."
Sidrina's face was full of smiles.
But then Baz said: "I just don't know if the young man you chose will be moved by you."
"Dad, I said it, it was a misunderstanding!" Sidrina blushed.
Just now, the second brother ran in and shouted about what happened at the door for a while, and described his first impression of Yevlit - in short, it was not bad.
Now the whole family knows that she invited a young man, this is the first time in many years!
Then the eldest sister-in-law teased her: "Sidrina, when the young man invites you to dance for the first dance, don't be so nervous that you step on your skirt -"
Immediately made her blush.
"Let's go." Baz whispered.
The father and daughter walked down from the second floor slowly.
Some big figures in the city went to congratulate.
Yevlit had no intention of squeezing in, as it was not his turn yet.
But after a while, Sidrina, who had dealt with all the social interactions, looked around anxiously, looking for Yevlit.
"Hey, sir." A slender girl found Yevlit.
She raised her cup and said gracefully, "I am the daughter of the tax collector - Anxia. I have never seen you. You are not from this city, right?"
"Yes, I just traveled to this city. My name is Yevlit." Yevlit said.
"Sir, are you here alone?" Anxia asked.
"Yes."
"Don't you have a female companion?"
"No."
"Girlfriend?"
"No."
"Oh -" Anxia said, "Then can you dance? How about I be your female companion?"
"Why?" Yevlit was a little confused.
"I like you."
"."
Yeflit was silent.
At this time, Sidrina's eager voice was heard: "Anthea!"
Sidrina lifted her skirt slightly, ran over quickly, and said: "Why are you here? Where are Verina and the others? Why don't you join them?"
"They all have their own male partners, but I don't. I don't want any man to invite me to dance the first dance, so I came to find this gentleman." Anthea said with a smile.
"You" Sidrina didn't know what to say.
Among her sisters, this one was the most troublesome. She couldn't deal with this woman, so she immediately turned to look at Yevlit and said: "Mr. Yevlit, you didn't agree to her!"
"No." Yevlit shook her head.
Sidrina looked relieved immediately.
"Sidrina? Are you going to invite this gentleman too? But it's first come first served. I came first." Anxia turned to look at Yevlit, fiddled with her hair, made a charming and seductive expression, and said, "Sir, my waist can be held in one hand. If you invite me to dance the first dance, I don't mind your hand on my waist."
"You!" Sidrina glared at her angrily.
Anxia smiled proudly.
"Sorry." Yevlit said with a smile.
"Hey?" Anxia was a little surprised.
Sidrina was happy. Yevlit didn't know anyone. He refused Anxia now, which meant that
"I don't want to hide it from Miss Sidrina." Yevlit turned around and said to Sidrina: "Miss Sidrina, can you temporarily join your show tonight?"
"Hey?" Sidrina was stunned.
If that's the case, the other party may not have time to dance with her.
She suddenly remembered Yevlit's profession - magician, so she said: "Mr. Yevlit, are you going to perform magic?"
"Yes, performing magic on stage has always been my hobby and my wish. Today is a rare opportunity with so many audiences." Yevlit said with a smile.
"." Anxia opened her mouth a little rudely, with an incredible expression on her face.
In fact, she heard some gossip, because her sister married into the Shirashi family, and the gossip just now was also spread by her sister.
She didn't mean to compete with Sidrina for a man, but it was the first time for the sisters to fall in love after all, and she was afraid that she had no experience. She was afraid that her sister would suffer, so she came to observe and test in advance.
Anxia was not a bad woman, but her view on love was more direct. She had dated five boyfriends, and she was the most proficient in Sidrina's sister circle.
Just now, Yevlit refused to invite her, and she thought that the relationship of this most troublesome sister was stable.
As a result
Friend, are you crazy?
You refused the chance to dance with two beautiful women, just wanting to perform magic on stage?
Hmm? ? ?
"." Sidrina was silent for a while, then said, "No problem, Mr. Yevlit, I can arrange for you to dance at the end, how about that?"
In this way, you can have time to dance with her.
"Thank you very much." Yevlit said.
Sidrina hurriedly said, "Then you still have time to dance, who are you going to invite to dance the first dance?"
“.” Yevlit suddenly smiled evilly and said, “Who could it be?”
“.” Sidrina and Anthea pouted at the same time, their expressions were very cute.
“Sir, it’s polite to give a lady an accurate answer on this kind of question.” At this time, several girls came over.
They are all Sidrina’s sisters, and each of their fathers is a big shot in the city.
“Sorry.” Yevlit said, “Then I hope Miss Sidrina won’t despise me.”
“No, no.” Sidrina nodded happily.
“Let’s go.” She saw several little sisters looking at Yevlit, and was afraid that they would take a fancy to Yevlit—after all, Anthea had bad intentions, so she quickly pushed several little sisters away.
Moreover, she was also afraid that they would ask gossip and let the cat out of the bag.
Social time.
Yevlit came to the dining table and began to choose something to eat.
“Huff huff” a fat man next to him was a little reckless.
"Sir, please don't mind." He noticed Yevlit's eyes and said, "I like to eat more. If you have anything you like, tell me. I won't touch it."
"No, and there are so many foods here." Yevlit smiled.
"Then I won't be polite." The other party snorted again.
Compared with Yevlit, his originally not outstanding dining etiquette is set off very elegantly.
While listening to music, eating desserts.
From time to time, someone came to chat with him. After all, there are so many towns and many banquets. Most of them are acquaintances. Yevlit is a complete stranger, so everyone will naturally be curious.
When they are almost done eating.
The music began to change.
Next to the artistic fountain, soft lights shine here.
Accompanied by the birthday song unique to this world, a huge cake was slowly pushed in.
Baz said something, and then asked his son to cut the cake. After everyone symbolically ate some cake.
Sidrina looked at the crowd and looked forward to it.
Because they were about to dance.
Everyone was also very curious. In the past, Sidrina's first dance was always a perfunctory dance with her brother, but this year her youngest brother was already in love, so he would definitely not invite her, otherwise his sister-in-law would be jealous.
So who would Miss Sidrina dance with for the first time tonight?
At this time.
A stranger walked around everyone and came to Sidrina, bowed slightly, stretched out his hand, and said, "Miss Sidrina, can I invite you to dance?"
Sidrina smiled, showing a bright and happy smile.
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
This person
Some people who had not yet greeted Yevlit had no idea where this "little yellow-haired" came from, and actually won the favor of Miss Sidrina.
And those who had already greeted Yevlit and knew that he was a traveler and had only been in this city for a week were even more shocked. He had actually hooked up with Miss Sidrina? !
The fat man who had been eating with Yefrit before was so scared that he stuffed several small cakes into his mouth.
