Chapter 258 The First Dance
…
“Thank you so much for the gifts everyone gave me, I’m so honored!”
"I also want to thank my husband Gervis, who gave me these two precious beast crystals! Now I will dance the first dance of the night with Gervis!"
Although she was touched, the party had to go on. After Alice thanked Gervis deeply, she turned around and said to the guests in the audience!
After Alice finished speaking, all the young male guests in the audience looked at Gervis with envy. In their eyes, Gervis was actually no different from a toad, and everyone also knew that Gervis had left Rose Castle on the night he married Alice.
But today, the toad really has a chance to have a close encounter with the swan!
"etc!"
Just as everyone's eyes of envy and jealousy were focused on him, Gervis suddenly shouted to stop the dance music that the musician was about to play.
"Alice, we haven't eaten the birthday cake yet! Let's dance after we eat the birthday cake!"
Gervis felt a little guilty. To be honest, Gervis was willing to dance with Alice, but Gervis was not very good at dancing!
The original owner had some memories of dancing, but practical experience was basically zero, so Gervis planned to cut a cake first so that he could remember how to dance. Otherwise, with so many people watching later, it would be bad if he kept stepping on Alice's feet!
"Birthday cake?"
"Yes, I made this birthday cake especially for you!"
Facing Alice's puzzled look, Gervis nodded, then waved to Lina outside the hall door. Immediately, Lina ordered several male servants to push a small cart into the banquet hall. On the cart was the birthday cake that Gervis had made himself in the afternoon.
At this moment, the birthday cake was already full of candles. The cart was parked under the platform, and two servants quickly lit the 21 candles.
Even though all the guests present were well-informed, they had never seen such a weird cake with candles on it!
“How romantic!”
"it's beautiful!"
Although this birthday cake was a bit strange, the carefully arranged fruits and lit candles on it quickly won the hearts of the noble ladies present. They all whispered to each other, and some young men nearby looked at Gervis with even more jealousy.
"Alice, close your eyes and make a wish! After making your wish, blow out all the candles. Then your wish will most likely come true. I read this in a book!"
There was no Happy Birthday song and the lights were not turned off. After the servants lit all the candles, Gervis smiled and spoke directly to Alice.
"Thank you, Gervis!"
Alice felt a little warm in her heart again. She didn't know where Gervis had learned so many ideas from, but this three-layer white cake with candles on it was very beautiful. Alice would only be 21 years old after this birthday, so it was not surprising that the birthday cake could capture the hearts of other noble ladies.
"Make a wish now! You don't have to say it out loud, just say it silently in your heart!"
At this moment, Gervis seemed to have returned to the feeling of an elderly young man in his previous life, and Alice was a young little sister! Gervis smiled gently at Alice.
"kindness!"
Alice was touched by Gervis' smile, closed her eyes and began to make a wish!
After a moment, Alice opened her eyes again and blew out the candles on the cake one by one!
"Happy birthday, Alice!"
When Alice blew out all the candles, Gervais spoke again to congratulate.
After congratulating, Gervis took the knife on the cart, cut off a large piece of the birthday cake, put it on a plate and handed it to Alice!
"Try it! I made this myself, I guarantee you've never tasted it before!"
Alice looked at the birthday cake handed to her by Gervis. She didn't say any words of thanks and took the plate directly from Gervis. However, a bright smile appeared on her cold face again.
"Is this really a cake? How does Gervase make it?"
The moment she put the cake into her mouth, Alice looked at Gervis in disbelief. This cake was different from the cakes she had eaten before. Both the texture and taste were completely different.
The biggest winner of today's dinner was undoubtedly Gervis. Faced with such a sweet dessert as cake, Alice couldn't resist the temptation and ate the whole piece of cake that Gervis cut for her.
The rest of the cake was distributed to everyone under Gervis's instructions. However, because the cake only had three layers and there were hundreds of guests, most of the people who ate the cake were noble ladies and young ladies.
After they ate the cream cake, the way they looked at Gervis changed, as if they had seen some extraordinary treasure. Gervis was so scared that he quickly started to dance with Alice in his arms.
Smelling the faint fragrance in his nose and feeling the gentle and tender feeling coming from his arms, Gervis felt that the two Warcraft crystals he gave away were really worth it. If he hadn't given away the two Warcraft crystals, and if Alice was hugged by someone else to dance, then he would have lost a lot today.
In fact, Gervis didn't know that no matter who gave the most valuable gift tonight, Alice would not personally go on stage to dance the first dance with others.
Because Alice had already thought of an excuse and found someone to replace herself.
The candidate was Anna. Anna was petite and lovely. Although she was still young, her appearance was top-notch. Coupled with the beautiful dress Alice prepared for Anna, Anna was also beautiful tonight.
Alice is the host of today's party. Even if others are angry and disappointed, Alice believes that they will never refuse because they have Anna as their dance partner.
Of course, the reason why Alice arranged Anna to dance in her place was not only because of Anna's outstanding looks, but also to take a small revenge on Gervis. After all, Gervis used the maid as his personal servant. To be honest, Alice was still a little annoyed, and this time she planned to let Gervis see his own maid dancing with others.
But Gervis's performance tonight made Alice change her mind, and she was willing to dance with Gervis herself. This was the first time Alice danced with a man other than the old earl.
Good times always pass by so quickly. I don't know how many times I stepped on Alice. When Gervis felt that he needed more time to practice and improve his dancing, the musicians on the sidelines finally finished playing this beautiful dance music.
When the song ended, Alice and Gervis saluted face to face, and warm applause broke out in the audience.
"Grevith, you can move freely later. I will definitely receive those noble ladies in a while!"
Alice and Gervis came to the sidelines side by side, and at this moment the hall became truly lively.
Many young noblemen and ladies had entered the venue hand in hand and were dancing to the music, while the noble ladies turned their eyes to Alice. As long as Gervis and Alice separated, they would all come to Alice to get closer to her.
After all, the Earl is a woman, and the nobles cannot approach her themselves if they want to get closer to her, otherwise there is a high probability that they will be turned away. Therefore, for Alice, it is most appropriate to use the lady diplomacy.
