Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Banquet
The colony in the night is almost dark, and only the necessary lighting equipment is still in operation. This is mainly due to the control of lights, the supply of the home planet is lost. Every bit of energy and every bit of resources is precious, and even the nobles must abide by it.
However, there is only one exception, that is, the venue of today's banquet.
The colonial nobles dressed up, stepped on the carpet at the entrance, and entered the banquet in pairs.
"Marvin, you are very beautiful today."
Augustus, the governor who had been waiting at the door for a long time, greeted Marvin with a smile when he saw Marvin who had just arrived.
Marvin responded in a blandly voice.
"Oh..."
Without much attention to Augustus, he bypassed him and went straight into the venue, which caused the nobles around him to whisper.
Augustus didn't respond, because he was already mentally prepared, but his attendants were not happy.
The attendants came to Augustus and whispered.
"Your Excellency, do you need me..."
"Ano, don't be too much trouble. It's my business."
"But you need to pay attention to the impact. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid your prestige will..."
"Well, don't say any more. I know it."
"Yes."
Stepping into the infield of the banquet, Marvin glanced around very casually, and then found a corner like a steamed bun and ate without image, which made those aliens who were attracted by her appearance and wanted to talk to walk up awkwardly.
Marvin can be unscrupulous, because she doesn't care about the thing in the aristocratic circle at all, but those nobles can't do it. Once there is a problem with their comments, their right to speak in the circle will plummet, and they will become a laughingstock of other nobles after dinner. In serious cases, it will even affect the interests of their own family.
Therefore, no matter how arrogant the nobles are in private, they must abide by their etiquette with the strictest standards in such a large banquet.
Obviously, Marvin's behavior was abnormal, coupled with the commotion caused by his stunning appearance, which made celebrities look contemptuously at Marvin and whisper in private.
"Who is she?"
"Which family is so ignorant? Did you come here for the first time?
"Isn't it a stupid guy who brought this kind of people and doesn't explain to her what this place is?"
"Anyway, I'm afraid that the person who brought this subordinate into the meeting and this subordinate will suffer."
"Stay away from her. It's not good if she is implicated."
"What a silly girl. What a pity."
Some gloat, some look sorry, and more are expressionless, silent, and coldly watching the development of the situation, which is the basic skill of a nobleman.
Finally, a noble girl made up her mind.
As soon as she took a step, she was pulled by her companions beside her.
"You don't want to think about it?"
"If you let it go on like this, she will have bad luck. It shouldn't be her fault, right? The person who brought her into the venue was really bad.
The noble girl showed indignation to her companions.
With that, despite the dissuasion of his companions, he insisted on going in the direction of Marvin.
"See you for the first time, my name is Kailin. Lake Yin.
Marvin stopped eating, and after seeing the person clearly, he continued his initial behavior.
"...you...Okay, my name is Marvin..."
Although Karin is a little familiar with the name 'Marvin', she can't remember where she heard it for a moment.
After swallowing the chewing food, Marvin continued to answer with a smile.
"The food here is really good, especially this kind of pie. After eating it, the aroma fills the whole mouth.
It's lingering, and that, that is also very...""Uh...Miss Marvin, are you hungry?"
Looking at Marvin's appearance as a foodie with no etiquette or formality at all, Karin suddenly felt that it might be a complete mistake to approach her.
Marvin first drank all the drinks on the table like a cow, and then began to criticize.
"You don't know, I work hard for my work, and I haven't eaten well. Every meal is basically a 'compressed block', you know? It's the kind of military food that has no taste and is about the same hardness as stone before soaking in water.
"Oh, I really envy you."
A completely civilian tone made Karin completely believe that Marvin was just a civilian who didn't understand anything and came to such a large banquet for the first time, not even an ordinary merchant.
The so-called work is subjectively regarded by her to work in the factory. She once sneaked in for a few days. After that, she couldn't get out of bed for several days, and her whole body was sore.
Since then, her views on 'civilians' have changed, and she is no longer just equating with 'unruly people'.
"What do you do? The food is so bad. Tell me later, and I will find a way to explain your difficulties to the governor."
"However, this is not a place where you can mess around. If you go on like this, you are likely to get into big trouble, so..."
Before Kailin finished speaking, he heard a voice behind him.
"Marvin, it's here."
Listening to the tone, I knew that the other party was familiar with this civilian girl. Kailin has subjectively judged that the other party was the 'bad nobleman' who brought Marvin into the venue but did not explain the situation to her.
"You...Hello, I'm Kailin. Lake Yin.
Just as he wanted to blame the other party for his words, because of the other party's identity, he was abruptly changed into politeness by Kailin.
She recognized the identity of the other party and was grandly introduced by the governor at the last banquet - the commander of the Third Fleet.
Marvin lost the noble etiquette, but the commander of the Third Fleet did not lose it, because his status was still not as detached as Marvin.
"Hello, I'm Alan. Abel."
After a brief return, Alan turned his eyes to Marvin, and he seemed surprised.
Marvin, why are you here? Don't you usually go out?"
"Because it's convenient, I have something to tell you, but I think it's more troublesome to let the assistant run errands, so I'm here, and this is August's birthday party. If he doesn't come, I'm afraid that guy will write down this revenge."
"Forget it, just put that guy's business aside. So Marvin, what are you talking about?"
"Wait a little longer. Let's talk about it when everyone is together."
"Don't watch it. Eat and eat. Don't be polite. It's the best thing to make Augustus poor. That boy actually adds a block to my work. I must eat it back."
The conversation between Marvin and Allen was very harmonious, and Karin beside her was sweaty. At this time, she remembered where she had heard the name Marvin.
Her father warned her long ago when she was still an arrogant and domineering lady that she must not provoke a knight named Marvin. Once she offended her, even the Duke could not afford it.
