Lord of Rot

Green Forest Castle, Li Qi's room.

"what do you think?"

The person who came to dress Li Qi was Bode's valet. Although Li Qi had a dress, he was considered not gorgeous enough and it was very rude to attend the ball. Then Bode arranged for a valet to come over.

Li Qi stood in front of the mirror and looked at the courting male peacock in the mirror.

"You will be the most dazzling knight in the entire ball," the valet said seriously.

"No, I think this makes me look like a brothel lady." Li Qi raised his hand and took off the gorgeous tail feathers of some unknown bird stuck on his shoulder. It was still very fresh, and even if he sprayed perfume, it couldn't cover it up. A taste: "I want a more low-key dress, maybe a little brighter, but don't wear so many messy things."

He suspected that he was not going to a dance, but setting up a stall at the night market to sell trinkets. Otherwise, why would he be wearing so many trinkets on his body.

Wearing a ring on one finger, are you planning to use it as a finger to beat up some aristocratic lady who doesn't like it? Definitely one punch and one tooth!

The valet was very embarrassed: "But Lord Bode said that you must be the most dazzling knight tonight."

So you dress me up like a human-shaped diamond? That's so eye-catching.

"I will tell my cousin," Li Qi said seriously: "And he means to make me the most dazzling jazz, not a circus clown, right?"

"Yes!" The valet had no choice but to match Li Qi's clothes according to Li Qi's order.

Gem ring?

Li Qi can accept wearing one at most!

The chest only needs to be decorated with the family crest.

A white shirt underneath and a robe outside.

When the valet dressed him up according to Li Qi's request, he found that Li Qi felt refreshed when he looked like this, instead of being bloated and gorgeous. A handsome person does not need to dress up like a pheasant full of flowers and feathers, like a white swan. Plain white can also attract attention.

Besides, Li Qi is a country baron. It is important to be eye-catching, but the most important thing is to go home after the dance.

The ball was held in the hall of Greenwood Castle.

There were already three or three nobles drinking wine and chatting, and there was a lot of food placed on a long table.

The dance has not yet begun, but the young nobles have already set their sights on their goals, and many charming ladies are surrounded by gentlemen.

The "charming" here refers to some single countesses and barons. After all, the sons of nobles are nobles, but they don't necessarily have titles. They will start from scratch like Leo, so why not just marry someone with status? As for the lady, she can continue to have fun.

The protagonist of this dance is Stacie. Even though she is already a 20-year-old girl, who wants this to be her birthday dance.

And the ball is a signal. A large-scale birthday party with Stacie as the protagonist means that she is very likely to choose a husband among this group of people.

This is Lintawan. Wealth, power, and strength, as long as they can get on the line, the little noble can turn over directly.

Now you can see many nobles surrounding Stacy, wagging their tails like dogs.

"Don't you want to go?" Bode came over and said, "You should go and fight for it."

"I think Cousin Stacie is busy enough." Li Qi picked up a glass of wine.

He took a sip of wine and looked at Bode, asking: "Did you give away the sword?"

Bode twitched his lips and responded with a sneer at Li Qi.

Even if he knew Bode's character, Li Qi couldn't help but tremble when he saw him like this.

Are you acting shy? Or secretly happy? Cousin Bode, it’s so scary!

"Congratulations," Li Qi said.

"You can read minds?" Bode was surprised.

Li Qi was surprised: "It seems that you two are developing very quickly. Did she kiss you? Or... went deeper?"

Bode's cold expression froze slightly. This was an expression rarely seen on his face: "You really have the ability to read minds."

"No, it's just that you don't know women well enough." Li Qi shook his head.

He said it more tactfully.

Cousin Bode seems to be cruel and has a weird personality. Because of his personality, no ladies are willing to get close to him. Everyone is afraid of being skinned by him.

In other words, he is a virgin with rather awkward hobbies, the kind that none of his female classmates have had since childhood.

Bode is the future heir of Green Forest Castle! Accepting his gift means accepting his love by default, isn't it natural? How bold does the other party have to be to defeat a powerful future lord? Is it because he thinks he has a long life?

Even the king's son will consider whether to give up the pursuit after knowing that the woman is the object of Bode's love.

Regardless of whether Bode has a bad reputation or not, as the future heir of Green Forest Castle, he will definitely gain the favor of many ladies.

The dance is about to begin.

As he was talking, a noble girl had already walked over. She could see that she was trembling and a little afraid of the [Murloc Butcher] and [Skinner] who were outside, but for some reasons that only she knew, she had to talk. He smiled and approached Bode.

"A beautiful lady has come to see you," Reacher said to Bode.

Bode suddenly turned his head to look at the noble lady, who was frightened and took a step back.

Li Qi: "..."

He didn't like the two of them.

Bode forced out a sinister smile. Maybe it was just his kind smile, but when it fell in the lady's eyes... Oh, Li Qi saw the other party raise his hand tremblingly.

She is giving the man a chance to invite her to dance.

Only Si Shen knew how much she wanted to turn around and run away.

Bode raised his hand to catch the other person's fingertips and asked, "Can I ask you to dance?"

"It's an honor," she said.

Li Qi watched the two people leave and gave the noble lady a somewhat encouraging look.

Although it is impossible for the two of them to become a couple, after careful contact, you will find that Cousin Bode is very loyal and sticks to his word. Besides liking to dissect corpses, he is still very easy to get along with.

She glanced at him gratefully before dancing with Bode.

No, Li Qi suddenly discovered that there was a slight problem. The lady just now seemed to be an actress. Pretending to be pitiful could more arouse men's desire to protect? She was chatting with Bode with a smile on her face, and she looked completely different from before.

Well, at the aristocratic ball, everyone is an actor.

Never mind her.

Li Qi was too lazy to care so much. Anyway, it was impossible for the other party to win Bode, and the innocent virgin was more determined in his feelings.

He drank leisurely and ate some berries.

He even tasted a piece of honey cake. The honey from Porcupine Castle gave him a taste of home... In fact, he couldn't taste it at all. He just felt that the cooking skills of the chefs here were much worse than those at Porcupine Castle, and it was a waste of ingredients.

He had no intention of looking for other ladies to dance, so he just stayed leisurely until the end of the dance, treating it like a buffet.

"Sir Clarence?" An ordinary-looking aristocratic young man came over.

Among nobles, ordinary appearance means that the other party's family background is insufficient and the genes are not good enough. In the magical world, it is called bloodline.

Li Qi looked at the family crest on his chest.

crutch.

The opponent comes from Red Heart Castle.

According to Li Qi's understanding, the Akers family of Red Heart Castle is an old noble, guarding the red heart forest that can make medicine, and the current Baroness of Red Heart Castle is the king's sister.

This is the case with the Akers family. Looking at the stories about the Akers family, you will find that what they do in each generation is marriage, marriage, marriage.
