A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 352 - 352: Ball

Matthew immediately looked over.

The visitors were naturally Lady Alena and her adopted daughter, Judy.

Matthew looked at them curiously.

Lady Alena was indeed very elegant. Her dress was not something that could be seen in a remote place like Rolling Stone Town. She was wearing a long, white, tight-fitting dress. The dress was divided into nine layers, and the silver thread on each layer was inlaid with pearls.

The curves formed by the pearls formed a perfect ratio between her waist and hips. Further up, there was a pile of colourful feathers stuck to her chest, which made her skin even fairer and her temperament even more graceful.

She was also wearing a large lady’s sunhat. The ribbon hanging from the brim of the hat was also full of pearls.

Lady Alena walked over.

She greeted the person next to her warmly.

Everyone sincerely praised her.

As for her adopted daughter, Judy, she was clearly more beautiful, but her temperament was completely suppressed by her mother, and she did not receive more attention from the public.

During this period, there was a small interlude.

Perhaps he wanted to grab everyone’s attention. The kitten in Judy’s arms became restless.

Judy moved closer to Lady Alena and said obediently,

“Mommy, this kitten has been trying to get close to you. He seems to like you very much.”

“Is that so?”

Ms. Alena took the cat from Judy’s arms with a smile.

“Do you want to follow me? Little cutie?” Alena asked with a smile.

The little black cat nodded frantically.

“Then, from now on, you are my cat. You can’t go out and do whatever you want with other kittens.”

Alena smiled and patted the little black cat’s head.

The latter looked so happy that he was about to faint.

However, in the next second, Alena’s right hand suddenly reached between the cat’s hind legs!

“Aiya, it’s a little tomcat!”

Alena suddenly turned around and said to the knight who was following closely behind her,

“Take him out and castrate him. Then, lock him in a cage.”

With that, she ignored the kitten’s vehement objection and stuffed it into the knight’s arms.

The knight didn’t say anything else and walked out with the black cat.

This scene made Matthew’s scalp tingle.

He really wanted to go over and help Eli out of the predicament, but the task that Rheagar had given him had not been completed, and Matthew could not leave.

At this moment, in the corridor, Rheagar had already brought some of the local nobles of Rolling Stone Town to welcome them.

Sif’s slightly sour voice sounded in Matthew’s ear. “Mature women are indeed more attractive, right?” Matthew quickly denied,

“It’s not that.”

Sif habitually placed her hands behind her back, and the smile on her face was still very bright.

“There’s no need to hide it, Matthew. This is human nature. Look, my father and the others are all stunned!

‘ Miss Alena is indeed very elegant. Even I can’t help but want to take a few more glances at her.”

Hearing Sif’s words, Matthew suddenly muttered,

“I just feel that she looks a little like someone I know, but for some reason, I can’t remember who that person is.”

Sif joked, “So, is this a common excuse for men to hit on each other? Do you want to practise it with me first?”

Matthew shook his head.

Sif pouted her lips in disappointment and said calmly,

If you think Miss Alena looks familiar, it’s not surprising. The Ranqi family has a lot of influence on the East Coast. You might have accidentally seen her photo or portrait.”

Matthew nodded hesitantly. “Perhaps.”

After Lady Alena entered, the atmosphere became even more lively.

The previous dance was just a warm-up. After the arrival of the most important guest, the ball officially began.

Rheagar led Alena and introduced her to a few people in Rolling Stone Town.

Matthew and Sif were naturally among them.

Alena politely shook hands with them.

However, Matthew could clearly feel that there was a kind of high and mighty reserve and unintentional contempt in that kind of politeness.

This greatly reduced Matthew’s impression of Alena.

On the other hand, her adopted daughter, Judy, did not put on any airs. She greeted Matthew very vivaciously and seemed to have a good impression of Matthew.

Matthew composed himself and prepared to follow Rheagar’s instructions to find a breakthrough from Judy and figure out the true purpose of the visitors from Deep Blue Harbor.

The greetings and introductions soon ended.

As the music changed.

Everyone came to the dance floor.

Rheagar introduced Lady Alena’s noble background to everyone with great magnanimity, then smiled and said,

“I remember that according to the custom of Deep Blue Harbor, the first dance is for the lady to choose a male partner, and the chosen male partner cannot refuse. Alena, you’ll be the first to choose, then Judy. You don’t have to be so formal. Just treat this place as Deep Blue Harbor. You can choose all the men in Rolling Stone Town.”

As he spoke, he could not help but straighten his chest.

Today, Rheagar was also dressed in fancy clothes. He had some oil on his head, and his hair was black and shiny. There were a few strands of unknown animal fur on his chest, which looked a little similar to the clothes of Lady Alena.

“Is that so? I thought we would follow the rules of your Rolling Stone Town.

Oh, Rheagar, you’re so considerate.”

Lady Alena smiled and said,

“But if I don’t choose you for the first dance, you’ll be sad, right?”
