Chapter 917 Sudden Attack
After dancing five dances, Su felt like she had completed three days' worth of exercise.
“Su, your stamina isn’t up to par,” Paimon said while eating, “I heard that nobles used to dance all night long at their balls.”
"My stamina for dancing is so-so, but my stamina for beating people up is amazing."
Su glanced at the dance floor, which had become lively after she left, and asked, "Where's Kong?"
Paimon: "He went to the terrace for some fresh air." If he doesn't get some night breeze soon, he might simmer away!
"Mmm~~~ This is good! Delicious! Su, you have to try it!" Paimon's eyes lit up as he enthusiastically recommended the dessert.
Almost no one comes to eat at these banquets; the tables are set with desserts, savory snacks, and various drinks.
Some people were twirling on the dance floor, but most were holding champagne and exchanging pleasantries with others.
Sue accepted the pure silver engraved plate from the waiter, ate a couple of bites, and then admired the tableware on the table.
The tableware on the table comes in many different styles, but they all share the same theme—flowers.
The silver plates are engraved with different floral patterns, seemingly based on the flowers of Fontainebleau in December. The matching knife, fork, and spoon also have corresponding floral and leaf patterns on their handles.
The cups come in a wider variety of styles, and even when placed together casually, they don't look messy; instead, they resemble a carefully arranged, vibrant bouquet.
Sue: "Paymon, look at this cup, it's so beautiful."
The champagne glass that Sue was holding was shaped like a freshly picked iridescent rose.
The soft pink flower cup, shimmering with a subtle sheen, makes the cup look even more beautiful than the dew-kissed flowers.
The way the girl held the flower cup and swayed it slightly made it look like a water fairy casting a flower spell.
"Really!" Paimon exclaimed, quite pleased. "This cup feels like an accessory in my hand, but you can't drink alcohol from it!"
"Ahem!" A richly dressed man coughed lightly. "I think this hanging lily of the valley is more interesting."
Sue and Paimon looked at the cup that had been recommended.
It was a complete tea set, with jade-like leaves extending from a brown sandalwood tray, and several small, upside-down teacups scattered on the "flower stems".
Su and Paimon reached out and picked up the two small teacups, discovering that they were made of thin bone china, and felt as soft and delicate as a beautiful woman's skin.
Because of its extremely thin and transparent material, the small lily of the valley cup will show different light colors on the cup wall depending on the color of the flower tea poured into it.
Paimon: "This tea set is so cute! It feels perfect for a picnic on the grass."
“Thanks for the recommendation,” Su glanced at the man who breathed a sigh of relief, and summoned a waiter. “I’ll take all of these.”
All.
The elegantly dressed man stared stiffly as the waiter brought him paper and pen.
Sue: "How many of these flower-shaped cups are there in total?"
Waiter: "There are 28 sets in total, making a total of 120 pieces."
With a flourish of his pen, Su wrote "Mora: 120" on the auction bidding slip.
"Oh dear, I've spent over a hundred Mora in one go!" Sue snapped open her shell-carved fan, pretending to be a lady to cover the corners of her upturned mouth. "I hope my competitors won't make me spend any more money."
Total price: One! Hundred! More! Mora!
More than a hundred Mora wanted to bid on these antique tea sets that these noble families had treasured for hundreds of years!
Let's not even talk about the inherent value of these antiques and artworks! Just think, what can 100 Mora buy in today's society?!
This is blatant robbery and humiliation!
The nobles who had been eavesdropping and watching from the corner of their eyes suddenly glared angrily at the richly dressed man, their eyes blazing with fury.
'The youngest son of the Dubbert family! He dares to boast to anyone! He's utterly courting death!'
Thinking he was clever enough to shift the blame? He ended up dragging everyone else down with him!
"All he does is spout nonsense all day long! Let's go! Let's snipe his collection!"
The elegantly dressed man—the youngest son of the Dubot family—suddenly felt his vision go black, vaguely envisioning a tragic future where his small fortune and at least ten years' worth of family profits would all vanish to nothing.
Meanwhile, Fulina, who was being enthusiastically chatted with by many social elites, received a message from a waiter. Upon hearing that Sue had successfully "bid" for an antique teacup at a price of 1 Mora, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Funina glanced at the girl not far away and saw that she was eating a small cake, with cream smeared on her cheek.
Although Su looks cute like this, there are many reporters present, and it will be photographed and published in the newspaper!
Fu Ningna strained her eyes, trying to convey a message through her mind!
Su looked up, puzzled.
Funina pointed to the corner of her mouth, hinting at her.
Su:?
Funina pointed even more forcefully to the corner of her mouth.
Sue: What happened to Funina's face? Does she have a toothache?
Realizing that the two were not on the same page, Funina stamped her foot and quickly walked over, pinched Sue's chin, and tried to wipe the little bit of cream off her cheek before the reporters noticed.
However! Whether it was because the floor was too slippery or because a passing noblewoman's skirt tripped her, Funina stumbled and her lips landed directly on the girl's face!
The entire room froze.
The clinking of champagne glasses, the lingering laughter, the playing of dance music... all vanished in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on one spot.
Charlotte, who was the first to react, didn't even have time to adjust her slipping glasses. With lightning speed, she picked up Mr. Wen Hengting and snapped a picture of this kiss of the century!
With a "click," it seemed as if the souls of his colleagues had been restarted.
The next second, the frantically flashing camera lights instantly turned the place into daytime!
Besides reporters, countless others are asking the same question at the same time—
"Ms. Fulina! We all know that you two have a very close personal relationship, but may I ask what exactly your relationship is?!"
"Ms. Furnessa! When did you two develop this relationship? Is this kiss a public declaration?"
"Ms. Furnessa! Is Miss Su a 'knight' or a 'princess'? Is today's ceremony considered an engagement ceremony?"
"Ms. Funina! Ms. Funina! Ms. Funina!"
……
The questions from the crowd blended into a noisy buzz, and Funina, whose vision was filled with a dazzling white light, stood frozen in place.
But the lingering warmth and soft touch on her lips exploded repeatedly in her mind like a thunderclap.
'It's sweet...'
'Cream is sweet, of course!'
I don't mean...
'Ah ...
Funina covered her face and screamed at the top of her lungs in her mind.
It's over! The egg is dead!
Her kindness is about to turn sour!
I heard the commotion while getting some fresh air on the second-floor terrace and rushed downstairs, only to find the scene in complete chaos.
Ignoring the attempts of Leosley and Clarinde to stop them, a large group of Fontaines surged toward the center in a frenzied and excited manner, accompanied by shouts that were too loud to hear.
Oh no, something terrible has happened!
Kong was searching for Sue and Paimon when he saw the crowd being blown away by the wind, and Sue flew out with a blank-faced Funina in her arms.
Paimon was beside them, shouting into the air, "Let's run!"
The Travelers' team's teamwork was impeccable; Sora immediately took up his sword to cover their retreat, protecting the girls as they rushed out of the Opiclie Opera House.
After successfully boarding the patrol ship, Kong looked at Funina, who was still in a daze, and asked, "Was Funina attacked?"
There were no external injuries or signs of poisoning. Was he frightened by the sudden attack?
Paimon wore a complicated expression. "Su was suddenly attacked..."
