Chapter 235: Western Fantasy Villain Gao Ao Jin (49)
As soon as Shen Zhaowan's invitation was sent out, the whole city was in an uproar.
Those who were late in getting the news were shocked by the content of the invitation.
What is the Duke of Ivissa?
What about Georda?
Abdicated?
After receiving the invitation, those who didn't know what was going on decided to attend the party.
On the day of the banquet, Shen Zhaowan's manor was crowded with people, and anyone who received an invitation had no reason to be absent.
They were eager to know the ins and outs of this matter, and also wanted to see how the Duchess stood in this position.
The hidden secrets behind it aroused their curiosity.
The music was melodious, and everyone was shaking their wine glasses, waiting attentively for Shen Zhaowan to show up.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to the same place.
Rows of guards and attendants saluted and welcomed their Duke - Shen Zhaowan.
The red dress has a waist and floor-length skirt, heavy embroidery and lace. The silk material is extremely gorgeous. The curves of her upper body and the fluffy skirt make her look elegant and charming, and her eyes are full of confidence and publicity.
For a moment, everyone held their breath, as if they were afraid of disturbing her and just wanted to appreciate it all quietly.
When Shen Zhaowan passed by, someone realized that all this was not a dream.
No wonder there are so many roses in this manor, and no one is more suitable than Shen Zhaowan. She radiates warm light whenever she walks, and she is the most delicate and beautiful one, which can only be admired from afar but cannot be reached!
Shen Zhaowan walked to the front of the crowd and slowly turned around──
"Welcome everyone!"
As soon as Shen Zhaowan finished speaking, everyone came back to their senses. After admiring her aggressive beauty, some people began to want to find out the story behind her.
"Miss Ivissa, where is Duke Georda?"
A well-dressed man in the crowd, holding his glass elegantly, suddenly spoke. His posture was completely opposite to his temperament, conceited and defiant.
Everyone knows that this banquet was hosted by Shen Zhaowan as the Duke. Now what that man said obviously means that you take her seriously.
Shen Zhaowan's eyes remained unchanged, but the arc of the smile on her lips rose a little. She knew this person. It can be said that she could call out the names of everyone present, without a single mistake.
This man is a newly promoted member of the nobility, incompetent and arrogant.
"Ah!"
Shen Zhaowan chuckled, "Why did your family send you here?"
Her tone was doubtful, but everyone could see the naked disdain hidden in it.
The man probably felt uncomfortable with the looks he got from everyone because of this, so he said in a hasty and aggressive tone, "Don't talk about anything else. How did you get to this position? This is not something you can treat as a game."
He looked down on it a little.
But Shen Zhaowan could tell that behind his contempt was his roar of jealousy and incompetence, thinking that everyone was as useless as him.
"It seems that you don't understand what I just said. Since I gave you the invitation, it means that you can still attend my party. However, you can do so in the name of your family. But your family sent you, and you don't meet this threshold."
"To put it simply, not only you, but everyone else present here, must be polite when they see me!"
The most normal tone crushed the man's self-righteous dignity, as if he was lying at Shen Zhaowan's feet, letting her step on his face.
His face flushed red. He thought he could embarrass Shen Zhaowan in public and make everyone question her, but he didn't expect that instead of arousing everyone's sympathy, his self-esteem was attacked and despised.
"Are you...are you comfortable sitting in your seat?"
Shen Zhaowan sneered: "Since you care so much, then go and accompany my father!"
At a glance from Shen Zhaowan, someone immediately came forward and clamped him, making him unable to move. His clothes became wrinkled, and his identity, which he was so proud of, made him understand it again.
Shen Zhaowan added: "Send someone to tell the elders of this family that their youngsters need to be properly disciplined for behaving like this. I will do it for them today."
The guard immediately dragged the man away.
Shen Zhaowan continued to smile as she explained to the others: "Excuse me for making fun of you all. Don't let it affect your mood. He cares so much about my father. Let's go to my mine and keep him company! Hahaha."
"If we're lucky, we can see each other one last time!"
These words were like a thunderclap, making everyone's heart pound.
Some people even spilled their drinks, soiling their dresses, and they dared not make any other moves.
It turned out that the secret they wanted to know, after being easily told, was so frightening and surprising that they would rather have never heard it.
At this moment, everyone stared blankly at the red color in front of them, their hearts were filled with turmoil, and their perception of Shen Zhaowan had undergone a new change.
Not only did he become the Duke so quickly, but he was also able to sit firmly in this position, and so far no voice of opposition has been heard from within their ranks.
Geoda, who had enjoyed a glorious life, ended up like that.
One person was the first to react: "Congratulations to Duke Ivissa!"
The voices of blessings echoed one after another without interruption, and Shen Zhaowan became the person they looked up to.
She was the first duke of the empire and also the first duchess.
While everyone was carefully watching their words and actions, the manor welcomed a new round of attention.
Not only did gifts from Shen Zhaowan's close friends flow in, but even the king, the eldest prince who was far away on the battlefield, and the second prince who came in person all sent valuable gifts.
But what was even more shocking was the handsome and noble stranger standing behind.
Everyone consciously cleared a path for them, and Shen Zhaowan and Phoenix's eyes met.
Today he seems to have changed again.
He stood in the position representing the temple, wearing a silk white robe, which made him look more upright. His handsome and deep face had no extra expressions. He gave people the feeling of being in two different worlds, wandering outside, and exuding a holy smell.
"I come to congratulate Duke Ivissa on behalf of the Temple."
Simple words, simple expressions.
The few people who were familiar with each other immediately recognized that the person who came from the temple was Shen Zhaowan's attendant.
After Carlido and Afenni confirmed that they had not made a mistake, they looked at Shen Zhaowan in even greater confusion.
Bran was also unhappy. Why did Phoenix choose this time to steal his limelight? The gift he prepared for Shen Zhaowan was very thoughtful, but now that he came, all of Shen Zhaowan's gaze and attention was sucked away.
He glared at Phoenix. He was dressed like this! Did anyone in the temple dress like this? He didn't think he had seen it before.
Shen Zhaowan felt nervous.
The way he looked at himself seemed to be no different from the way he looked at other people!
