Not a Witch

"Lord Jelink, today the convoy of the Karites Chamber of Commerce entered the city."

"Well, I see, Angus should be here later, let's prepare the dinner."

The middle-aged man is still busy with writing and doesn't care too much. He and Angus are old friends, and they meet often, and they don't have to be very formal.

"But my lord, it's not Mr. Angus who came this time, but his daughter Lacey. Mr. Angus was attacked on the way back and has died." The adjutant said a little nervously.

"What!" The pen in the middle-aged man's hand crooked, drew a trace of ink, and then stood up in surprise.

"Angus is dead?"

"Yes, my lord," the adjutant repeated.

"Only his daughter survived?"

"It is said to be so."

The middle-aged man started walking back and forth in the room, and then instructed the adjutant.

"Prepare a grander feast tonight, and then call Rachel over. She should be about the same age as Angus's daughter, and she is easier to get along with. Then go and invite Angus's daughter to be a guest at home."

"Yes, my lord." Then the adjutant exited the room.

Jelink looked at the sky that was gradually approaching dusk outside the window and said in a low voice.

"Did you just leave, Angus... so suddenly."

Chapter 40 Prelude to the Banquet

Lorraine Hill sat at the dresser, letting Chelsea dress up.

At this moment, she looks a little different from before. Her hair is no longer silver, but golden. This is because she has taken an extraordinary potion [Rainbow Potion] (rare bronze level), which can change hair color and skin color. The magical potion was also learned from Trinasha's records, because the witches lived for a long time, and they accumulated a lot of knowledge about dressing up without knowing it, and the pupil color also changed back to the original light blue.

She is wearing a blue dress with a beautiful bow at the waist. The blue dress is separated at the waist, revealing the white inner skirt, which looks more layered, and the edge of the skirt has lace. , which adds a touch of glamour and beauty.

After putting on the complicated dress, Roland Hill then pinned Trinasa's butterfly hairpin to the side, her blond hair covered her fair neck behind her back, and there were still two strands left on her chest. The blue off-the-shoulder dress was the most conservative one Lorraine Hill picked out of the pile.Others include those with big backs and forked thighs, all of which were passed by her.

But even so, it still made her a little uncomfortable, fortunately, the front part of the chest has a high opening, showing very little, so she is willing to wear it.

"Where is Miss Lacey from? I have never seen a girl as beautiful as you."

Chelsea asked curiously while combing Roland Hill's hair.

"I don't know either. I grew up in the forest and was brought up by my teacher."

"That's it, but I'm sure that no matter which country you go to, as long as you show up in public, there will be countless young heroes who will go crazy for you."

"Hmm... I don't want it." The girl murmured a little distressed.

"Where did Chelsea come from?"

"I lived in the Green Empire when I was a child, and then came to Hopeland with the fleet, and then was recruited by Lord Angus to be a maid."

"What kind of man is Mr. Angus?"

"Master, when I first met him, he was a little picky, and he wasn't as big as he is now. He would only make a little money and often come to bars to drink."

"bar?"

"Yes, when I first came to Verga, I was working in a bar, and that was the first time I saw Mr. Angus."

"Well, was Mr Angus being frivolous?"

"Hehe, that's true, but he's very handsome, and some of the sisters in the bar had a good impression of him at that time."

"He used to brag about how smart he was, how good he was, and so on. Many guests in the bar liked to listen to him brag, and of course some people just wanted to see him joke."

"Then how did he develop later?"

"Later, the master and one of his friends, who is now the owner of the Agartilin family, Jelink went to the islands of the South China Sea to venture together."

"They excavated ancient relics from an island and handed them over to the Young Moon Council in the South China Sea. The mages of the Young Moon Council gave them a sum of money and a business license."

"Then with this money, they bought spices from the South China Sea to sell in Verga, so they got rich soon."

"No wonder you said that the Yagtilin family can be trusted. It turns out that the current owner and Angus are still friends who share weal and woe."

"Yes, at that time, Jelink was just an unremarkable young generation in the family. Later, he continued to grow stronger because of this, and finally won the position of the head of the family."

It didn't take long for Loren Hill to settle down at the mansion in Kempe City, and the invitation from the Agatilin family was sent. It was not so formal before. Generally speaking, it would be fine, because Angus and Jelink All are old friends.But now that the Karites family has changed owners, everything is going according to the official process.

At night in Kempe City, Agatilin's house.

There seemed to be flowing clouds in the night sky, the moonlight appeared and disappeared, and the evening wind was blowing, dispelling the summer heat.

Agatilin was a big family that had been inherited for hundreds of years. The courtyard of the home was very large. Roland Hill sat in the carriage and watched the bluestone iron fence and walked a few hundred meters before reaching the gate, the black iron gate. There are six large braziers in front, which illuminate the surroundings, and from time to time carriages enter, and then attendants call.

"Mr. Roger and Mrs. Gibran are here~"

"Mr. Blaise, President of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, is here~"

Local prominent families and big businessmen dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses were invited, and the Yagtilin family became extremely lively for a while.

As the sound of the hooves gradually ceased, the luxurious mahogany carriage stopped in front of the gate of Yagtilin's house, and the two surrounding teams of riders also stood aside and waited quietly.

Under the flame of the brazier, the sign of the black flower and purple stamen on the carriage was recognized by others. It was the sign of the Karites Chamber of Commerce, a new star of Verga in recent years. The other guests in the back did not dare to speak loudly.After all, the protagonist of this banquet has been known to everyone before coming, that is, the daughter of Angus, the new owner of the Karites Chamber of Commerce.

An old butler in a black dress walked to the door of the carriage, and everyone recognized him as Ceres, who had been beside Angus.

The door decorated with glass windows was opened, and the light blue silk skirt protruded from the door first, then the shoes decorated with blue butterflies, then the long golden hair like the sun, and finally the girl. He raised his head, revealing pupils as blue as the sky, and the beautiful scene shocked everyone present like a picture scroll of a prosperous age.

"Who is this girl?"

"......do not know."

Some of the guests began to talk in low voices.

"It should be the new owner of the Karites family, Angus' daughter."

"No way, can Angus' daughter have such a face?"

"I've never seen such a face, it's like a dream."

"Yes, she is Angus' daughter, Miss Lacey. I heard from the Agatilin family, and it was their invitation."

A group of servants poured out from the courtyard. They quickly spread a soft red carpet between the gate and the pavilion. The girl with blonde hair and blue dress stepped on the carpet in blue shoes that were slightly darker than the skirt. Then he followed Chelsea and Ceres to the front of the hall of the pavilion under the protection of 6 gunmen.

"You stay here."

"Yes, Miss."

The six Sequence 2 riders stood on both sides of the gate, then the gate opened, and the girl led Seres and Chelsea into the lively hall of the banquet.

Chapter 41 The Lady at the Banquet

A girl in a blue dress was slowly walking into the hall, and all the surrounding guests automatically made way for her, just because she was too beautiful to bear blasphemy.

It is different from those women whose faces are decorated with various powders, different from those ladies who adorn themselves with all kinds of fancy jewelry in gold and silver, and also different from those noble girls who pretend to be arrogant but mean.The blue dress that wraps the body just right, the light-colored collar outer lining and the pure white gloves with lace patterns, the whole dress perfectly highlights the girl like green leaves.

There was nothing in her eyes, and her clear eyes were filled with curiosity. She casually swept across the entire banquet, stepping on small steps, but it was like stepping into everyone's heart, clucking with her heartbeat.This natural beauty is like a magnificent work of art from any angle, attracting greedy and admiring eyes in the hall.

A huge chandelier hangs on the dome in the hall, dozens of large candles burn on it, and there is a circle of smaller chandeliers around. The frescoes are clear and bright, and these frescoes recording various legends and myths add a luxurious color to the hall.

With the entrance of Loren Hill, the music in the banquet began to play. Eight violinists and one pianist began to perform beside the stage. The soothing and brisk music was accompanied by the congratulations of the guests, and the banquet officially began.

First of all, all the gorgeously dressed gentlemen and women came to say hello to Loren Hill. Although the girl didn't know any of them, she also responded politely one by one under the prompting of Chelsea next to her.

In the eyes of these people looking at the girl, there are envy, desire, pleading, and some fanatical love. No matter what world, there is always such a thing as love at first sight.

After the girl responded for a while, a middle-aged man in a black dress came over. His dress was embroidered with small patterns of olives and seashells with emerald silk thread, indicating that he was from the Yagtilin family.

"Hello, Miss Lacey, I'm Jelink, the current head of the Yagtilin family, welcome your visit."

"Hello, Uncle Jelink, I heard my father mentioned you many times, and I'm bothering you for your sudden visit."

"Don't worry, your father and I are close friends, and I am very sad to hear his bad news. If there is anything I can help, I will do my best to help."

"Thank you for your kindness. If necessary, I will definitely tell you." Roland Hill bowed his head slightly.

After a little chat, a young girl in a bright yellow dress came over. She had long blue hair with some spirals draped over her chest. She wore a small and delicate golden necklace around her neck. A blue crystal pendant hangs.

"Hello, Father." She first saluted Jelink's skirt, then turned to face Roland Hill, her golden pupils full of curiosity.

"Rachel, you're here, let me introduce you. This is my daughter Rachel. You should have more common topics at the same age, so I won't bother you."

After speaking, Jelink went to the other side to communicate with the others.

The girl in the yellow dress greeted Roland Hill first.

"Hello, I'm Rachel."

"Hello, my name is Lacey. I'm sorry, because it's my first time here in Verga, and I don't know much about etiquette. If you don't do well, please let me know."

"It's not like that, Lacey. I think you're doing better than everyone else, like a natural princess." Rachel smiled.

"Let's sit here for a while."

Rachel pulled Lorraine Hill to a small table next to the dance floor, and soon two servants came over to place a candlestick on the white tablecloth, and then brought two glasses of juice.

"I only became an adult in the second half of the year, and my father doesn't let me drink. I don't know if you are used to drinking fruit juice. I heard that the West Wind side prefers drinking."

"It's okay, I also like juice very much, and basically don't drink."

Loren Hill shook her head, she didn't know her age in this world, and she couldn't talk about whether she was an adult or not.In her previous life, she seldom drank high-alcohol alcohol. At most, she would drink some low-alcohol alcohol with her friends.

The juice in the glass is light green, and after shaking, you can still find finely chopped green pulp. The taste is slightly sour at the entrance, and then there is a sweet taste. A few ice cubes are added in the glass. In the summer season, it is refreshing and refreshing. And delicious.

"Like it?"

"Yeah." Roland Hill sipped this cold juice, the refreshing taste dispelled a lot of summer heat.

"Hee hee, this is what I invented. This juice is made from green raspberries, but the green raspberries are sour, so I try to add some honey to neutralize the sour taste. I add ice cubes at the end to make it sour. The taste is more exciting." Rachel introduced her proud work to Roland Hill.

"Ice cubes?"

"Yes, there is an ice light bartender from the original Sequence 3 at home. She is very good at this. In recent years, she has also led several new fragrances developed by our family. I will introduce her to you when I have time. "

"Is it delicious? Can you describe the feeling? My brothers despise juice and only like to drink. Every time they ask me, they are perfunctory."

"Well, it's like putting your hand into the cold mountain spring water on a sultry afternoon, and the sound of running water makes the whole person wake up."

Roland Hill tried to describe the feeling in words, but Rachel was very happy, as if she had met a soulmate in life.

"Lacie, you must study very well. My brother and father, if they want to describe something good, the most they can say is very good, not bad."
