Lord of Glory - Chapter 115
Upon arriving at the castle inside the fortress and stopping the carriage. The doppelganger stood in front of the door like a true gentleman, holding out his hand to greet Orinna as she got out. Orinna carefully looked at the underlings who pretended not to see anything, and gently placed her hand on the doppelganger’s hand to get out of the carriage. Finally, with so much light, the doppelganger got a good look at Orinna’s appearance. A long round red dress with a corseted waist trailed to the ground, and a decorative hat was placed on her head. The chest swelled out because of the corset, which was quite spectacular. The face was obviously carefully painted with makeup, and a translucent mask made of raw silk blocked the face. So much so that at first glance, there is a hazy beauty, but the rather heroic eyes somewhat destroy this beauty.
Orinna smiled very gently at the doppelganger, and it was obvious that the doppelganger’s current dress was also beyond her imagination. A decent dress sets off the handsome appearance and perfect body. The long red hair added a bit of mystery. When Orinna’s heart leapt, she immediately said to the subordinate with a stern face, “Nap, lead the way.” This underling immediately jumped off the carriage and very obediently opened the door and walked up the steps. And Orinna immediately resumed her smile, as beautiful as the sunlight that melted the ice. She passed one hand through the doppelganger’s arm and wrapped it tightly in her embrace. Full of affection, she said, “Come along, my knight.”
When they reached the top floor, when the underling informed the guards, a push opened the heavy door. The hall that looked exactly as it did in the eyes of the main body Paladin reappeared in front of them. Paladin, who was fully aware of the visitor, suddenly turned his head and looked at the doppelganger with a surprised expression and said, “Brother! Why are you here as well?” “Brother, what a coincidence.” The doppelganger also greeted him when he saw the main body. And it was at this moment that Paladin pretended to see Countess White Orchid by his side, and immediately bent down with an embarrassed face and said, “So it’s Lord Countess White Orchid. I really didn’t see it for a moment. Please also forgive my presumptuousness.” White Orchid smiled faintly, not waiting to return a polite remark. Because Paladin’s words spread, it instantly made the nobles in the hall who were talking eagerly stop their speech instantly.
“White Orchid? Is the Countess White Orchid here?” An older nobleman suddenly cruised back and forth in puzzlement, while a clearly much younger nobleman beside him looked at the now-dressed Countess and let out a voice of disbelief, “My Enos, ah! This beautiful lady is Countess White Orchid? Impossible!” Obviously, the nobles present did not even think that Countess White Orchid, who had always been averse to banquets, would attend this banquet. And those young nobles who noticed this Countess White Orchid after dressing up in full costume immediately lowered their voices and let out a hiss, “Impossible! It can’t be compared with that sturdy lion in the influence!”
“Illusion, it’s all an illusion! It doesn’t fool me!” A blonde aristocrat mumbled with a dumbfounded face, while another beside him banged his head against a pillar, “Give me back my youth! My childhood!” “I must have pulled an all-nighter yesterday, so I must have misjudged it, for sure…” These male nobles let out a burst of pig-killing screams. It was because today’s Orinna was completely out of place with her old, brawny, armor-clad appearance. What was most difficult for them to accept was that this humongous woman had indeed become beautiful! As the saying goes, people rely on their clothes. When an ugly woman dresses up with care, the effect tends to be worlds apart. At this moment, the White Orchid Countess felt the gazes of these aristocrats and couldn’t help but lower her head in a short breath.
However, the next scene made the White Orchid Countess, who was being shy, almost storm out! Unlike the male nobles, those noblewomen who were gathered together, chatting privately with their girlfriends and close friends, after seeing the Countess of White Orchid’s tightly embraced alter ego. Immediately, their eyes were glowing as they discussed: “Look, look, look, who is that red-haired gentleman by her side? He looks very handsome!” “I know I know. He’s the newly promoted Baron Alfred, Flamel! And a knight under Orinna.” “What! Wouldn’t it be a waste to have such a superb commodity fall into the hands of that ugly woman Orinna!”
“Flamel? Is that the noble family who were recently massacred by a mage? Ah, what a pity~~ It seems like I’d love him in my arms!” “Che, this Orinna, she thinks that a change of clothes makes him worthy of such a treasure?” “That’s just it! We’re going to go up and steal her limelight!” These noblewomen with various hairstyles and fans that emitted the scent of flowers immediately walked up to them with small steps. There was no intention of talking to Countess White Orchid, looking straight at the handsome and extraordinary doppelganger with long reddish hair. Immediately covered her face with the fan, revealed her sparkling eyes and said, “This must be Your Excellency the Baron, have you ever been on a battlefield?”
The doppelganger picked up a glass of red wine from the table next to it with a smile on its face, said very elegantly: “Battlefield well, the Countess took me to battle together, ladies please ask the Lord Countess.” But who knew that these words of the doppelganger would not have much effect at all, these as ghosts like noblewomen pulled the doppelganger away from the hands of the dazed Countess white Orchid, seven or eight immediately swarmed around the doppelganger and constantly looked up and down the handsome doppelganger. When he was not paying attention, they touched his body with their hands up and down, exuding wolf-like eyes and kept saying: “Who wants to listen to that shrew, everyone just wants to hear what you say, let’s talk.”
“Hehehe, that’s amazing. Sir Baron, your face is whiter than mine.” “Wow, you have a pretty good figure.” The doppelganger kept refusing with a smile on his face, the pestering of these noblewomen gave him a feeling of being at a loss. Suddenly he realized that he really didn’t know how to deal with these upper class people.
And at this moment, just when both the doppelganger and the main body were in a great deal of anxiety, Countess White Orchid, who had been left out to the side, was filled with rage, stared viciously at her doppelganger who was in the pile of women, and then turned around in anger, lifting up the skirts of that wide and swollen round skirt with both hands, and quickly walked into the semi-circular balcony next to the hall and went there. “Crap.” Paladin muttered with a frown. Sarrier, who was watching by his side, couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re two brothers, how come you don’t look like each other at all? Look at him, how he is attracting women. In fact, when I was young, I was just like your brother, how many noblewomen fell for me…..” Paladin simply didn’t have the leisure to listen to Sarrier’s racy history. He immediately made a cruel thought and moved his mind!
At this moment, Paladin, who was standing to the side, suddenly stared dead on at the corset of one of the noblewomen that surrounded the doppelganger. Gradually applying the power of the light element to it, he imagined a hand grasping the corset and then pulling it with force! “Ahhhhhhhh!”
The corset of that noblewoman suddenly fell off. Frightened, she shouted and covered her chest with both hands. But then, the attention of those noblewomen suddenly shifted, and looking at this companion’s bad appearance, they unconsciously snickered with their fans covering their mouths. And just when the noble lady was about to cry, an old nobleman suddenly stepped forward, took off his coat and put it on her, pushed her out with a sullen expression and said in a low voice, “I told you not to come here! You just don’t listen…”
And at this moment, the doppelganger followed this good opportunity and immediately escaped from the surrounding of the lady in a few steps, took two glasses of wine with olives from the table, and walked into the huge semi-circular balcony. And when these noble ladies realized that something was wrong, they left the building empty. Immediately scattered without interest: “It’s boring, let’s see if there are any handsome guys.”
Walking into the quiet balcony, although it was only one step away, the doppelganger felt as if entering another world. It was different from the gorgeous and extravagant hall behind them, full of perfume and noise. This balcony was illuminated by the bright moonlight in the sky. It showed a quiet blue color. Smell the refreshing earthy fragrance in the air. Looking at Orinna who was leaning alone on the railing carved with a lion’s head. The doppelganger smiled slightly and walked over.
