Bai Xiaowen''s words were like a basin of cold water, watering out the happy atmosphere in the field.
Cecilia''s eyes at Bai Xiaowen were somewhat complicated. Of course she could feel that the eyes of others looking at "Dior" began to be subtle.
Reason told Cecilia to walk away and distance herself from Dior. However, Cecilia''s heart had an inexplicable appreciation and touch for the outspoken young Lord.
How good it is to adhere to their own ideas, not afraid of power, not conformity, not kitsch. In this dirty aristocratic circle, there are fewer and fewer people like this.
However, others obviously did not think so, especially the disgraced count Denton. He snorted heavily: "Baron Dior, if you don''t have the merit of killing the orc pioneer officer, based on what you just said, I can think you are a coward!"
Several nobles standing on the side of count Denton began to accuse Bai Xiaowen, and others questioned his military achievements.
"Such courage can also be regarded as a hero of the human coalition army?"
"It is said that the orc pioneer officer was seriously injured by Prince Nicholas before he was picked up by Baron Dior..."
"Yes, his Highness the prince was generous, so he praised him. But this Dior, I don''t know how lofty and generous he is, dare to be presumptuous in front of his Highness the prince and the Earl''s court..."
Bai Xiaowen ignored these nobles, looked at count Denton and said calmly, "those who dare to admit that the enemy is powerful are not cowards. Those who dare not face the reality and immerse themselves in their fantasies are real cowards. When the enemy comes, cowards immersed in fantasies will pay a heavier price for their lack of preparation!"
"Enough."
Seeing the escalation of the dispute, Prince Nicholas raised his hand to stop the conflict. Because he saw that the noble men and women on the dance floor had stopped dancing and turned into melon eating people to watch.
There were whispers in the crowd, most of them talking about Baron Dior''s ignorance and arrogance with a little credit.
"Dior, I can understand your concern," Prince Nicholas said solemnly with a slight nod. "However, this is a victory party. I don''t want any quarrel to spoil the atmosphere, so please don''t speak again."
Bai Xiaowen''s facial muscles twitched and showed an unwilling look. However, he still vomited and saluted: "yes, your highness."
After saluting, Bai Xiaowen left the small circle and sat silent in the corner of the ballroom. When people saw his appearance, they kept away from him. Those delicate ladies began to look for new targets to hold their hearts and dizzy.
"Do you mind if I sit here?"
The familiar voice sounded, and white rose Cecilia gently sat beside Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen smiled helplessly: "madam, you should stay away from me." he pointed not far away and resumed the small circle with the jubilant Prince Nicholas and count Denton as the core.
"Really?" Cecilia showed a charming smile, but she sat closer to Bai Xiaowen.
The two legs were as if they were apart. Bai Xiaowen could also feel the elasticity and firmness of those thighs across the clothes.
"Today, you let me see another form of courage," Cecilia said softly as she approached Bai Xiaowen. "Compared with Wu Yong on the battlefield, the courage you just showed is more valuable, Dior."
"Don''t laugh at me, Cecilia," Bai Xiaowen leaned back against the wall and stretched his waist, "this should be called recklessness..."
Cecilia suddenly leaned over and put her arms around Bai Xiaowen''s neck.
It''s the same as the action when dancing, but they are not dancing now. Such action undoubtedly seems a little too intimate. Fortunately, this is a corner. Few people look at it.
Bai Xiaowen was a little stiff. He could feel Cecilia''s softness and wiped his arm. Then Cecilia''s slightly cool lips were printed on Bai Xiaowen''s cheek.
"Don''t you believe now that I''m laughing at you?" Cecilia whispered. "I support you, Dior."
The prompt message of spirit world rules came:
"Lord Cecilia''s favor with you has increased. The current favor level is: friend."
"You have reached the level of friend with a spiritual figure of the opposite sex (Lord Cecilia). You can already check the level of ''liking'' between you and her."
"At present, Lord Cecilia''s love level for you is: heart."
Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised. It turned out that there was a "liking degree" system independent of the liking degree system between him and the opposite sex. He met it for the first time. There is no such item in the data collected before.
After all, this is the venue of the ball. Cecilia just kissed Bai Xiaowen on the cheek and withdrew. Bai Xiaowen did not dare to act rashly to avoid self defeating.
Calm down, Bai Xiaowen silently inquired about the information about "devotion".
The feedback information given by the spirit world rule is:
"Liking degree is usually a relationship between the opposite sex, which is divided into seven levels."
"Usually, the centrality level is hidden and displayed when certain conditions are met."
"The level of liking is normally ''ordinary''. With the increase of liking, the higher level is'' appreciation '','' heart '','' love ''and'' love ''. While the level of liking below'' ordinary ''is'' disgust'' and ''disgust''."
There was little feedback. Bai Xiaowen continued to inquire: "if you reach the level of ''love'' or ''beloved'', what impact will it have?"
In this regard, the spiritual rules do not continue to give the answer: "please awaken and explore by yourself."
Bai Xiaowen curled his mouth.
The ball was poured cold water by Bai Xiaowen, which also made the nobles and nobles in Heiyan fortress remember Bai Xiaowen.
Until the dance ended, no one continued to discuss the topic of survivors.
"Let''s go." Bai Xiaowen stood up.
Suddenly, a waiter came over and bowed: "Dear Baron Dior, your Highness the prince is preparing to hold a high-level military conference. Please attend."
Prince Nicholas once said that Bai Xiaowen has the right to attend and speak at high-level military meetings.
"It seems that your highness is not angry about it. Go quickly and leave me alone." Cecilia is also happy for Bai Xiaowen.
The waiter said, "dear Lord Cecilia, your Highness the prince said that if Baron Dior''s companion is also here, please come together."
