"Miss Sophia, it's almost time. The Duke and Master Lucas are already waiting in the hall. Please change into your dress as soon as possible and go to the dinner."
Baron Scott said with a smile.
At the same time, he winked at the surrounding guards, and more than a dozen silver-ranked guards quietly gathered around, surrounding Sophia.
Feeling the guard's lock, the girl said mockingly:
"With so much silver, you really think highly of me."
"It's just to protect your safety. After all, you are the future countess and the next border elector."
Baron Scott said with a smile.
After speaking, he waved his hand, and the two most powerful guards swarmed up and stood behind Sophia.
"Miss Sophia, do you want to go to the hall on your own initiative, or do you want our guards to lead you?"
The old housekeeper looked at the ugly-looking girl and said gently.
After speaking, he glanced at Sophia's gradually clenched fists and the slightly restless magic power on her body, and said meaningfully:
"Of course, it is still during the war, and your identity is still a bit too sensitive, so as the butler of the Rosen family, I sincerely suggest that you do not do anything impulsive, otherwise... it may cause Some unnecessary misunderstandings."

Following Baron Scott's words, the oncoming guards grasped the weapons at their waists as if they were cooperating, and the two guards standing behind Sophia seemed to have the intention of stepping forward to restrain the girl. ……
The eyes they looked at Sophia were indifferent and cold, and the locked aura made the girl's heart feel cold.
She has no doubt that if she had the slightest resistance at this moment, she would be controlled by the other party immediately.
"No, I can walk by myself."
Sophia snorted coldly and shook off the guards' hands.
"That's right. Accepting the marriage with the Rosen family is an excellent choice for you and the Rosen family."
Looking at the girl's compromise, Baron Scott said with a smile.
Under the "escort" of more than a dozen guards, Sophia, who put on a white evening dress, came to the city main hall expressionlessly.
The hall was very lively. The nobles of the empire had already arrived, melodious music was playing slowly, and the gorgeous wine table and exquisite delicacies were more luxurious than what the girl had seen a few days ago.
When Sophia entered the hall, she immediately attracted the attention of the entire hall.
The beauty of elves is well known to everyone. Although the girl only inherited half of the elves' blood, her appearance is enough to be said to be the most beautiful one in the world.
Especially now that she is wearing this aristocratic white dress that imitates the elves, it further highlights the girl's aristocratic temperament.
For a while, the entire hall became quiet for a while.
Until a crisp sound of glass breaking broke the silence.
That's a waiter holding a tray.
He was stunned when he looked at the beautiful girl and accidentally tripped.
The spilled wine almost splashed onto the girl's white dress, which made the old butler Baron Scott's face instantly look ugly when he saw this scene.
"Useless trash, a disgrace to the Rosen family! Go down and find Sir Dolf yourself to receive your punishment!"
He angrily yelled at the waiter who fell to the ground.
However, a clear cold snort interrupted his words:
"It's just accidental, why be so harsh."
It's Sophia.
I saw the half-elf girl bending down slightly, helping to pick up the broken wine glass on the ground, and said to the waiter:
"Are you okay?"
"I...It's okay, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Dear Sir!"
The waiter got up from the ground, blushing and stammering.
"Go down, be careful next time."
Seeing the patched clothes exposed under the gorgeous butler's uniform after the other party fell to the ground, Sophia sighed and said.
Baron Scott raised his eyebrows slightly, then snorted coldly and said to the waiter:
"Why don't you thank Miss Sophia? Get out!"
"Thank you! Thank you, sir! Thank you..."
The waiter bowed repeatedly and then retreated in panic...
The discussion in the hall slowly started again:
"Is that Sophia from the Wells family?"
"What a beautiful and interesting child..."
"Interesting? Hey... He actually helped the waiter. If you ask me, you don't have the decency of a noble..."
"Yes, after all, he is still a half-elf, which means he looks better."
"You can't say that. After all, I am the orthodox heir of the Wells family..."
"The orthodox heir... The Rosen family actually gained the allegiance of the Wells family and even entered into a marriage contract with the only heir... It seems that it will become the only family in the history of the empire to have two elector seats. Got it!"
"Master Lukasz is so lucky!"
"Poor girl, I heard that Master Lukasz not only has intellectual problems, but also seems to be infertile..."
"Hiss... Doesn't this mean that in the end, the title of Border Count may also be inherited by the main branch of the Rosen family?"
"There should be a child adopted from the future Duke's family."
"Who knows, with the current war in chaos, it is not certain how long the Countess of Wells can sit in the position. The Maple Leaf Territory is not poor at all. Even if the electorate is excluded, the value of the merged territory is also to the Duke's family. Very attractive..."
"Hiss...you mean..."
"Hey, hunting accidents and horseback riding accidents are not uncommon."
The nobles in the hall were talking a lot, looking at the girl with curiosity, pity, ridicule, and indifference.
Their voices were not loud and were mixed in with the music in the hall.
Of course, because of the elven blood, even if the nobles deliberately lowered their voices, many conversations still reached Sophia's ears.
There was no expression on her face, but her hands were slightly clenched, and her nails were almost imprinted into her flesh.
In the hall, Duke Rosen and his eldest son Lucas are already here.
Lucas is a young man who looks a little dull. He is sitting on a chair with wooden wheels, grinning silly, looking at the food on the wine table, and drooling from his mouth. While flowing down...
The nobles in the hall have long been accustomed to his appearance.
Lucas, the fool of the Duke family, has long been a well-known fact among the upper class nobles of the empire.
Of course, the Rosen family is so powerful that no one dares to laugh at them at this moment.
"Your Excellency, Miss Sophia is here."
Baron Scott brought Sophia to Duke Rosen and said respectfully.
Duke Rosen squinted his eyes, glanced at Sophia, and then praised with a smile:
"Miss Sophia, you are so beautiful today, you are worthy of being the pearl of Zeroland."
After speaking, he bowed respectfully to Bishop Santis who also entered the hall:
"Your Majesty, Bishop, everything is ready, and we are waiting for you to officially represent the church and bless the new couple."
Bishop Santis smiled slightly:
"Of course, blessing the new couple is our Lord's care for the world."
With the support of the bishop, Duke Rosen seemed quite happy. He laughed a few times, then faced the entire hall and made a slight downward gesture...
Following his actions, the band playing music stopped playing, and the nobles attending the banquet gradually became quiet.
Looking at the looks from everyone, Duke Rosen was very satisfied.
He smiled slightly and then said loudly:
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the Rosen family dinner. Today... I, Franz von Rosen, will have a major happy event to announce!"
After saying that, he motioned to the maid, and soon someone came forward and pushed the smiling Master Lucas to the front of the hall.
However, just when Duke Rosen was about to announce the engagement, a clear voice resounded in the hall:
"Wait!"
It's Sophia.
Her voice was very loud and could be heard clearly in the quiet hall.
Duke Rosen frowned slightly.
"Miss Sophia, now is the critical moment of the ceremony. If you have any questions, we will discuss it after the ceremony is over."
He took a deep look at the girl and said.
Feeling the Duke's slightly dissatisfied gaze and the strong threat and warning in his eyes, Sophia smiled mockingly.
The next second, she suddenly raised her hands.
Amidst the exclamations, she put a sharp piece of glass in front of her neck.
That was the fragment of the wine glass that she had deliberately hidden when she helped the waiter up.
Seeing this scene, Duke Rosen narrowed his eyes slightly, while Baron Scott's eyes widened and he lost his voice:
"Miss Sophia, what are you doing? Put it down quickly!"
After saying that, he yelled at the guard who was standing at the door of the hall in the distance and did not follow him:
"Guard! Guard!"
For a while, there was a commotion in the hall.
"Wait! Don't come forward!"
Sofia shouted loudly and exerted a little force.
Immediately afterwards, a trace of bright red blood flowed down her neck.
"Ah——!"
Seeing this scene, some noble women in the hall who had never seen blood screamed and fainted.
The guards hesitated and stopped.
Duke Rosen’s face gradually darkened:
"Miss Sophia, do you know what you are doing now?"
His gaze is very dangerous.
Sophia smiled miserably:
"Of course I know..."
After finishing speaking, she didn’t wait for the other party to say anything more, and shouted directly to the hall:
"Everyone! I, Sophia von Wells, have never entered into a marriage contract with the Rosen family, and have never planned to marry the Rosen family. All of this is a secret collusion between Duke Rosen and the Eternal Church. , the purpose is just for the border electorate and Maple Leaf Territory!"
Her voice was filled with grief, anger and determination.
However, the girl's words resounded in the hall, but they were like a pebble thrown into the abyss, and did not cause much ripples.
The eyes of the nobles showed pity, ridicule, surprise, and teasing, but there was no anger...
Even from a legal perspective, the actions of the Rosen family have completely touched the bottom line of the imperial nobility.
They just talked in low voices and watched the farce on the stage with cold eyes.
Seeing this scene, Sophia's boiling blood gradually cooled down.
At this moment, she already understood that the nobles here probably already knew what was going on.
However, no one was willing to step forward.
The nobility of the empire are no longer the nobility of the past...
"Is this...the aristocrat of the current empire..."
Sophia's smile was sad and disappointing.
"Have you had enough trouble?"
Duke Rosen said coldly.
Looking at Duke Rosen's indifferent expression, Sophia's eyes gradually became firm.
I saw her suddenly holding the necklace around her neck, and a light flashed in her hand.
Under the surprised eyes of the nobles, a small golden statue appeared in front of the girl.
That is a holy and beautiful goddess with typical elven features and a magnificent appearance that makes it difficult to look away.
After seeing this small statue, Bishop Santis' eyes froze slightly.
"The goddess of life and nature..."
He said seriously.
Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, Bishop Santis’s expression suddenly changed:
"No! Stop her quickly!"
However, it's too late.
I saw Sophia holding the goddess statue in her arms, looking sad and decisive:
"Merciful goddess, I...Sophia von Wells, I pray for your help..."
As soon as he finished speaking, golden light bloomed on the statue, like a golden sun.
A sacred and majestic aura began to ripple in the hall, and everyone in the hall felt an indescribable sense of oppression and fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Immediately afterwards, ripples began to appear in the space around the girl, and golden circular formations floated on the ground.
The circular array shimmered with mysterious lines, which were constantly outlined and gradually became clearer, blooming into little bits of photons, flying in the air...
"What are you still doing? She has gone crazy! Catch her quickly! Destroy these magic circles!"
Feeling the terrifying aura on the statue and the violent spatial fluctuations, Duke Rosen's expression changed and he shouted at the guards.
Following his order, more than a dozen guards swarmed up and surrounded the girl.
They roared and rushed towards Sophia.
However, just when the guards were about to touch Sophia, a dazzling light overwhelmed everything.
The next second, accompanied by bursts of groans and screams, more than a dozen guards flew directly into the air.
They are like wheat that has been cut down, falling into a large area...
After the light dissipated, tall figures appeared around the girl.
Gorgeous armor and stunning magic robes, handsome and beautiful appearance, and powerful aura...
They are elves.
I saw them retracting their kicks with sharp eyes.
Like loyal guards, they held weapons and stood beside the girl.
The elf warrior who appeared in front of Sophia, with a red back hair, a handsome and unrestrained elf warrior, turned around gracefully and smiled brightly at the girl.
"Your beautiful princess, we are here to pick you up."
He knelt down on one knee, put his right fist on his chest, and said warmly to the girl who was still looking at her blankly.
