Lord: Exiled by Stepmother, I'll Rule the World Anyway

Chapter 146 Dance

Amid the melodious music, men and women danced elegantly, with all kinds of gorgeous long skirts flying, accompanied by the giggling of women. This ball was very classy. The nobles from the imperial capital could easily crush other provinces in the arrangement of the banquet.

"Huh~"

Even though Field had seen big scenes, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. After all, he had never participated in such a grand ball in his previous life.

As soon as he entered the hall, a well-dressed male servant immediately handed over a wine glass. After pouring the wine, he bowed respectfully and left.

"It seems that aesthetics and enjoyment always progress faster than science."

Field held up the wine glass and looked around the sapphire-themed ballroom. The nobles from big families were majestic. They were either beautiful women who attracted everyone's attention or handsome gentlemen. Uh, of course, there were also freaks who married close relatives. They needed servants to take care of them around the clock.

Small nobles or those from poor places would be a step behind in skin color and clothing, which was easy to see.

Finally, there are speculators who buy tickets at high prices. They are usually merchants. They spare no effort to promote their products despite the disgust or strange eyes of the nobles.

"Merchants are so annoying. The fresh air has become pungent." A lady who looks ordinary but is dressed gorgeously took the initiative to come up, pretending to be careless, looking up and down at Field, and arrogantly quoted from the classics, "It is harder for a merchant to go to heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle."

Nowadays, the status of merchants is far below that of nobles. It is normal to be hated by others, but the person in front of him is just deliberately attracting his attention.

If he doesn't give face, negative news may spread tomorrow, such as being a transvestite or something, after all, even beautiful noble ladies are not interested.

"Yes, noble lady, can I ask you to dance for a song?" Field took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Since you said so, then... no problem!"

The woman chuckled, pretended to think for a moment, and then elegantly handed over her hand. Field immediately smelled a strong smell of powder.

Field danced very clumsily. Although the original owner had learned it when he was a child, it was a pity that he had no chance to practice, so he stepped on the other person three times.

"I heard that your last name is Ross. Such a romantic name, but you are so cute." The woman teased, and then took the initiative to close the distance. Field immediately saw a "secret vertical line", and even the tiny hairs on it could be seen clearly. She giggled, "Do you rarely dance? Then the honor should be mine."

If it were an innocent little boy, it is estimated that he would have fallen for it, blushing and fantasizing about having a few children in the future.

Unfortunately, Field was spoiled by Ashina and Rosaria and had a high resistance to appearance.

"Yes, my last name is Ross, but unfortunately the territory is in the northern province, which is full of rotten corpses, haze and death."

Field told the truth without hesitation. His hands could clearly feel the other party trembling. She was obviously scared. Field watched the happiness on the other party's face disappear, and his eyes began to dodge.

Someone's dream of becoming a rich woman is broken.

The woman absentmindedly let go of her hand, lowered her head and adjusted her skirt: "I'm tired and want to rest."

"Please."

"By the way, I will often rest there. If you want to chat with me or look at the stars, I'm happy to do so."

After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and left.

"It seems that I am not bad."

Field rubbed his chin. The last words meant: Although you are a poor bastard, you are good-looking and can spend a good night with her.

"It seems that someone will spend tonight in a sweet dream, which is enviable."

A pleasant voice sounded, and Aisha, who was wearing an elegant long skirt, walked over with a cold face, holding up her blue long skirt and moving her snow-white lotus feet. A group of men followed her around, and their eyes all stayed in Aisha's direction. I really don't know how they can see the road clearly.

"As a gentleman, since Miss Aisha is envious, I will give you the opportunity." Field tilted the scene of the two women "wrestling".

Elsa rolled her eyes: "You are still so humorous."

"Dear Sirs, can you please give us some private space?" Elsa said to the crowd, her impatience was well hidden. Although she wanted to twist the heads of the people around her, her upbringing made her speak like a spring breeze.

"Okay, dessert."

"I will wait for you, including in my dreams."

"You will dance with me later."

The men left with earthy love words, and glared at Field fiercely, wishing to challenge her on the spot.

Field rubbed his temple and sighed silently in his heart: Oh, this guy is really troublesome, always making enemies for me, although I am not afraid, but it is annoying.

The key is that Elsa has been contracted, and Field is not interested in it at all.

If she uses her family to get some benefits, she will stay away from her.

"On the night of the decisive battle, we all witnessed your bravery and command. If you hadn't led the army to stop the rebels' charge, we would have been attacked from all sides. You also captured Shanquan Village, which was very heroic." After praising her seriously, Aisha naturally transitioned to the important question, "Are you curious about what you can gain from this battle?"

"Can you gain land?"

Field was most concerned about territory. Even a town was a huge fortune.

Aisha's eyes became sharp, like a sword pointing directly at people's hearts: "It's hard to say, because you finally robbed those boxes. You know, the imperial law requires that all spoils should be uniformly distributed by the army leaders. Can you tell me what you got?"

"Things that the small nobles are jealous of and the big nobles disdain, such as some potions and magic potions, and they are all low-level."

"No other important things?" Aisha narrowed her eyes.

"What good things can be opened? A cute Chosen One?" Field was very calm and ate a piece of cake silently.

"Haha, that's really impossible." Aisha chuckled, leaned close to Field's ear, and whispered, "I think you misunderstood what I meant. You fill four large wooden boxes with gold and silver treasures, and give a divine artifact, and return them to the governor in the name of returning the spoils. Maybe you can get what you want."

"So that's what you said."

Field wiped his sweat, thinking that his contract with the new Chosen One was exposed.

Of course he thought about it, but unfortunately he didn't want to do it because it was not cost-effective. I have so much money, and the key is to manage the Night Territory well. As for the Itaven territory, it has been destroyed by war and has to be rebuilt from scratch.

It would be more cost-effective to take over a piece of it.

"No, I don't have money. Thank you for your reminder."

"You can use artifacts, such as the Eye of Mist that Shirley gave you. You rely on it to find invisible troops, right?"
