Chapter 507 [Oxie's Wrath](1/2)
Chapter 507 [Osie’s Wrath]
Although there was music accompaniment in the hall and the guests were talking in low voices, it was not too quiet. But the beautiful girl's high-pitched voice, although not loud, was not deliberately suppressed, so as long as people stood closer
, all heard clearly.
Seeing that this little girl actually attacked the majestic Duke Tulip, the most popular person in the empire, everyone around could not help but show curious expressions.
Du Wei looked obviously embarrassed, and he felt a little guilty, because he really just wanted to get a random girl to dance and get over it. But he didn't expect to encounter such sharp and sarcastic remarks.
But after all, Du Wei didn't have the same experience as this kind of girl. After hearing these rude words, he didn't get angry. He just touched his nose, took a half step back, and then smiled and said: "Oh, miss, although I don't know what I am."
I have offended you, but I don’t mind apologizing to a beautiful lady. If you don’t want to, then I can only invite other dance partners.”
With that said, Du Wei nodded to her, gave her a half salute, and turned to leave. The other girls nearby who were all dressed up suddenly felt that they had another chance, and they all used various postures to calmly move towards her.
gathered around in front.
But as soon as Du Wei turned around, he heard the disdainful tone of the girl behind him: "Hypocritical guy!"
Du Wei frowned, this inexplicable girl was too ungrateful.
She was just an ignorant girl. Du Wei ignored her and casually extended his hand to the young girl standing closest to him.
This girl is very petite, probably only sixteen or seventeen years old. She has a pretty face and is wearing a light golden skirt. She only has a few tiny freckles on her cheeks. From Du Wei's point of view,
Quite cute.
Du Wei extended an invitation gesture to her, but the girl seemed very nervous, with excitement and surprise on her face, as if she had never expected that such a good thing would happen to her.
Seeing that the girl was about to faint, Du Wei smiled bitterly and tried his best to smile in a gentle tone: "Is that okay?"
"Of course! Of course, sir." The girl almost shouted, but fortunately, she remembered to pay attention to her manners just as she said the words, so she lowered her voice cleanly, barely made a salute gesture, and held her arm.
Du Wei's arms stepped forward.
Unfortunately, she was probably too nervous. She just took two steps, but her foot slipped and stepped on the corner of her skirt. She screamed and stumbled forward. Fortunately, Du Wei was quick-sighted and caught him.
He stopped her waist. Then he followed the melody of the music and led her to the dance floor quickly.
A lot of time has been wasted at this moment, because Du Wei has not left the stage, and the playing bands have had to play the prelude of this dance three or four times. Seeing that the Duke made some moves, he hurriedly started.
Entering the formal tune, other guests around invited their dance partners to leave.
Du Wei danced a few steps casually, but felt that the dance partner in front of him was obviously shaking nervously. He was startled for a moment, then understood the subtlety, and smiled: "Miss, am I scary?"
"Scary? Ah! No! Of course not! You are the most dazzling star tonight. Lord Duke. I am so lucky to be invited by you..."
The girl stammered, but subconsciously glanced back. Du Wei followed her eyes and found that the girl was looking at the beautiful girl in red who had just embarrassed Du Wei.
And the beautiful girl in the red dress was standing aside, watching the two dancing with cold disgust...
Du Wei pretended not to care and smiled: "My dance partner... you know who I am, but I don't know your identity yet."
"Oh. My name is Manny. My father, Baron Farisno, works in the Imperial Education Department as the deputy director."
Du Wei smiled: "It turns out she is the daughter of Baron Farisno... Oh, you seem a little worried..." Du Wei suddenly hugged her and spun around in a circle to the rhythm of the music, deliberately touching her gently in front of her.
Pointing to the girl in red in the distance: "You have been looking at her? Why?"
"Ah!" The girl named Manny whispered, and her face immediately turned red. She hesitated for a moment, and then said helplessly: "My lord Duke... I, Osie and I are good friends, I... I and
If you dance, she will definitely blame me severely after a while..."
Du Wei smiled gently: "Oh, then I'm sorry, it was me who made things difficult for you, right?"
"No, no!" Manny quickly shook her head, looking at Du Wei, her eyes filled with girlish excitement: "I'm very honored to be invited by you. Didn't you see that the ladies around me are all envious of me?
.”
A little girl. Du Wei smiled and didn't take it seriously. After all, little girls of this age always have some vanity in their hearts that likes to compare. This is normal.
He saw that Manny's mood had calmed down a bit, and then asked slowly: "Uh, the Osie you are talking about is the lady who looked very angry with me just now? Please forgive me, I really can't remember me.
When have you ever offended such a lady...does she know me?"
Manny smiled: "You are too humble, Your Majesty, who in the entire imperial capital would not recognize you."
"Well, then...I don't know her. Who is she?"
Now Manny's eyes widened and she raised her head and looked at Duwei in surprise: "Duke, are you kidding me? How could you not know Osie? Her family is a family friend of yours. Moreover,
...and she is still you..."
As the girl named Manny whispered, Duwei suddenly understood, but his eyes became even more surprised, and he couldn't help but look at Miss Osi in the distance a few more times.
In fact, Osie has been looking at Duwei coldly, watching this hateful guy dancing there with his best friend Manny in his arms...
This Manny! It's so embarrassing! No, all the women who looked at this hateful Du Wei with nymphomaniac eyes tonight are simply so embarrassed!
Huh, what's so good about this Tulip Duke! Isn't he just a hypocritical young nobleman! What ability does he have? Didn't he just make a big fool of himself in that tournament a few days ago? Huh, after that day everyone
I determined that this guy must have paid his opponent to deliberately lose to him... but he used such despicable means to cheat in the competition. This person's character seems to be...
Humph, he definitely has no real ability in martial arts. Now that I think about it, his reputation as a so-called magic genius may also be false! Yes, that’s right! He is so rich, and the reputation of this genius magician is
It must have been a lie...
The more Osie thought about it, the angrier she became. Watching Duwei dancing with his best friend in his arms, the two of them seemed to be whispering to each other in a harmonious manner. Then he looked at the female companions around them, all of whom had expressions on their faces.
Looking at Du Wei like a nymphomaniac, Oxi felt very angry!
What a Tulip Duke! He's just a hypocrite who is just trying to gain fame! How can such a person have real abilities... Huh...
What else could be done to build a city in three months in the northwest, defeat the invading grassland army, the Northwest War...
Thinking about it later, Osie suddenly felt that she couldn't justify herself. What happened at the martial arts tournament might also be a reason to attack Du Wei... But as for the series of miracles Du Wei created in the northwest, they were all genuine achievements.
There is no excuse for slander.
Osie couldn't help but feel guilty. She could only force herself to change her mind: Well, let's just say he has some ability! Just a little bit! But there are many people with ability, but few are as hypocritical as him.
.So annoying, so...such a bastard!
She lightly stomped her feet, holding up her skirt with both hands, and stepped hard on her toes. It seemed as if she would break the deerskin boots she was wearing.
Even though she is angry, Osie is still a beautiful and lovely girl. She has smooth golden hair and a charming and slim figure. The red evening dress tonight also makes her look like a rose.
Just as beautiful...but this has become Oxi's biggest embarrassment!
Logically speaking, a beautiful girl like her should be the focus of attention sought after by the men in any aristocratic dinner party!
It's a pity that the dance has passed more than half way, and many, many ladies around have been invited to dance by other men. Most of them are far inferior to Osie in appearance... but this charming Miss Osie...
, but no one cares about it!
This is not the first time this has happened! In fact, at every banquet and gathering that Osie attended since she came of age, it seems that the male nobles of the same age are as afraid of her as snakes and scorpions! It seems that they have no regard for her.
He has no interest and dare not approach or provoke him at all.
Which girl doesn’t have a child? Which girl doesn’t have some fantasies when she was young? Which girl doesn’t want to be treated like being praised by everyone?
What's more, a young beauty with outstanding appearance like Osie?
However, in all the occasions she attended after the coming-of-age ceremony, she received a cold reception without exception! In fact, there were some young talents who were shocked by her beauty at the beginning, but often someone just revealed her beauty.
If you are interested in yourself, you will be immediately pulled aside and whispered for a while, and then the guy's admiring eyes will turn into fear, and he will quickly avoid yourself...
Is there a plague on me?
All this... it's all Du Wei's fault! Blame him and his family! It's all their fault!
It can be said that Miss Osie, who is seventeen years old this year, has absolutely reason to hate Duwei!
Because Osie's full name is "Ocilia Oden", of course, if you are unfamiliar with this name, then you must be familiar with his grandfather: Munes Oden, the contemporary patriarch of the Oden family, Empire
The current Chancellor of the Exchequer!
So... Miss Osie hates Duwei! There is definitely an understandable reason for this!
Just think about it! When she was just a few years old, she made an engagement with a boy she had never even met! What’s even more shameful is that her fiancé was a “little idiot” that everyone in the imperial circle knew
"!
That's right, this was the place where Osie and Du Wei should have made their engagement! Unfortunately, when Du Wei was young, he was a joke known to everyone in the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital, which also dragged Osie down.
She remembered that before she was eight years old, when she was playing with all the female companions of the same age, others would mockingly call her "idiot wife"!
Such a title has been with Osie almost throughout her childhood...Childhood experiences often leave a shadow on people.
Later, things took a turn for the better. Seeing that Du Wei was growing up, the Oden family was finally worried. They were willing to marry this girl to Du Wei because Du Wei was the eldest son! She was the future Luo Lin family.
heir!
But at that time, it seemed that Du Wei was simply a waste! If Du Wei could not become the heir to the Luo Lin family, then the marriage would be meaningless, so casual... The engagement was changed, and Osie's fiancé became Gabri. Thank God
, Gabri is finally a little genius!
Although Gabri is two or three years younger than Ossie, this is not a big problem.
It's a pity...this incident still did not end Osie's pain.
No matter what, the Roland people still respect the "reputation" of the place! And changing the engagement is undoubtedly a disguised act of regretting the engagement.
Repenting of a marriage is considered a very disgraceful act even among ordinary Roland civilians, let alone in aristocratic circles that pay special attention to reputation and tradition?
On the other hand, Miss Osie was indeed very beautiful and outstanding when she was young. Naturally, there were many people who were jealous of her, and these people could find enough topics to attack Miss Osie: repentance is definitely a great weapon.
In the following years, Miss Osie suffered painfully from being called "dishonorable" and "married man". This title was even more hurtful than "idiot's wife".
And then... the Luo Lin family suddenly came to an end, but the idiot back then soared into the sky and became the Grand Duke of Tulip! In just one year, he became the most popular person in the empire. He even vaguely had a daughter.
A momentum of "one person is inferior and ten thousand people are superior"!
At this time, Osie has become even more of a joke!
Look! It’s her! She is that stupid girl! She could have married the Tulip Duke openly back then! But she, a fool, gave up on her own! She took the initiative to regret the marriage and married the Tulip Duke’s brother! Look at it now.
The Lin family is finished! That Gabri has become a commoner!
Oh, quietly! This is that fool! She left the Duke unmarried, but chose a commoner! Huh, who told her to look down on others back then! Maybe she regrets it so much that her intestines are blue now! Hahahaha...
Osie didn't know how many times she had heard these vicious taunts.
To be continued...
