In Duke Negan's mansion located in Queens District of Backlund, a grand ball was going on.

It is divided into two parts, one is the dance hall, which is located on the ground floor, covered with gorgeous stone slabs carved with complicated patterns, and there is an excellent band belonging to the Duke in the corner, and along the stairs of the hall, it is located on the second floor. , around the cloister, the guests are holding wine glasses, standing in front of the railing, looking down at the dance below, similar to enjoying fencing activities from the stand position, from time to time a gentleman will come to the lady or wife to invite them to dance together, if you get With permission, the two sides held hands and walked down the stairs and entered the hall.

On the other side of the corridor not close to the hall, there are one door after another, and the back is basically the guest lounge.

But behind the opposite door is a corridor, with different plaster statues standing on both sides, all of which belong to the ancestors of the Negan family.

All the way to the end, you can see another part of the ball, which is also a hall, with long tables and all kinds of food and wine, and another band belonging to the Duke is playing melodious music for the guests. And relaxing music.

In this hall, guests gather in groups of three or five, or sit or stand to exchange various things. Those who wish to escape from the hustle and bustle for a short time enter the balconies attached to the hall to look at the scenery in the garden and the sky. red moon.

Audrey Hall, who skipped the opening dance, was originally standing on the second floor of the ball hall, staring blankly at the huge crystal chandelier hanging from the roof and at the candles on it, but found that many people were eager to move and wanted to After coming to invite the dancer, she wisely left here and stepped into the corridor leading to the "restaurant".

It's really boring, but I have to participate... Hey, can't they just let me observe there quietly? I have to say, some people have really expressive expressions when they dance. It always reminds me of those courting animals... Audrey looked down at her toes, and took a single step in a bored manner.

At this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure approaching. She hurriedly slowed down, straightened her back, and instantly transformed back into the elegant and quiet Miss Hall.

"Hello, Baron Gramir." Audrey greeted with a flawless smile and etiquette.

On the opposite side, Baron Gramere, with sparse eyebrows and light blue eyes, smiled and saluted: "Hello, Miss Hall, you are the brightest and most dazzling gem at this ball."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Baron Gramere walked towards the ball hall, while Audrey continued to approach the "restaurant".

After walking a few steps, she suddenly frowned, her green eyes full of doubts: "Baron Gramere is not the same as usual..."

"In the past, when he saw a lady and wife who were higher than him and more beautiful, his eyes would move to the side, he didn't dare to look directly, and then he kept sneaking glances... But today, he looks very confident..."

"Also, the smell of his perfume is not right. When he participated in various parties before, he wore the tail note of the 'Amber' perfume. It is pure and light musk, noble without showing off. That is to say, he will Spray the perfume a few hours in advance, so that the top and middle notes can be wiped off before the banquet, but just now, the fragrance on his body is the middle note of 'amber', dense and elegant..."

Audrey's footsteps became slower and slower. As an "spectator" who had completely digested the potion, her sensitivity to details was by no means comparable to other Beyonders.

Suddenly, she thought of a possibility, and her bright green eyes froze: "Wouldn't it be Qilingus pretending to be it?"

"'Squirming Hunger' has the ability to change people into different appearances!"

...

The more Audrey thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was possible, and her heart suddenly rose, nervous and flustered.

"If it's 'Vice Admiral Hurricane', what does he want to do? It's a pity that Susie can't be brought to this ball, or else he can secretly observe the Baron Gramere just now... No, I have to remind Dad!" Thoughts In the midst of this, Audrey quickened her pace, entered the dining room, and found Earl Hall who was communicating with the cabinet secretary and others.

She drew an impeccable smile, walked over, took Earl Hall's arm, and said to the others: "Gentlemen, can I borrow Earl Hall for a few minutes?"

"Beautiful lady, this is your right." Several gentlemen responded in a friendly manner.

Audrey pulled Earl Hall to the nearest balcony, found a secluded corner, and said to middle-aged Fu's father, "Dad, I have something to tell you."

Earl Hall originally had a doting smile on his face, but seeing his daughter's serious expression, he also became serious: "What's the matter?"

"I met Baron Gramir just now, but he is different from before in some details. For example, the perfume smell on his body belongs to the middle note of 'amber', which used to be the tail note. For example..." Audrey said The difference I observed can be explained with sensitivity and care.

After describing what happened just now, she added after deliberation: "I heard Viscount Greint mention that 'Admiral of the Hurricane' Qilingus has the ability to change into someone else's appearance, isn't he in Backlund recently? ?�

Earl Hall listened quietly, his expression became extremely dignified.

But he quickly smiled and comforted his flustered daughter and said, "I'll take care of it. You go to your mother and stay with her. She's in the lounge of this hall." JrNovels.com
