The chat with Julia didn’t go smoothly, and it was even drier than Russell’s unfamiliar dance steps.
This may be related to the fact that Russell has never had a serious relationship in his two lifetimes.
Back home on Earth, Russell’s mortgage was almost paid off, but the problem with his partner had not yet been resolved, and he even thought that he might not be able to get married in this life. He never expected that when he arrived at Longmian Continent, a girl would chase him.
“When you finish building your own little castle, will you invite me to come over and take a look?”
“Can.”
“Then it’s settled, okay?” Although Russell’s words were a bit blunt, the smile in Julia’s eyes still remained.
She has already inquired about it. Although Russell is only the second son of the family, he has a mushroom bird.
This is an amazing magical creature. Even in her family, her father, as a Lord of the Principality and a Level 2 Phantom Beast Knight, has no elf. And Russell not only has a mushroom bird, he even has a fantasy beast that has not yet been contracted.
The future development will definitely not be bad.
Moreover, Russell was handsome and smart, and the cigar he invented was widely praised, even by his own father.
Indeed, his emotional intelligence may be a bit low, and his speech may be a bit blunt and boring. But in Julia’s view, Russell is at least gentle, and his life after marriage will not be much worse. He is definitely the best marriage partner.
“If there is a chance…” Russell gave an ambiguous answer.
He could understand the meaning of Julia’s words, but he didn’t want to meet and dance before making an agreement with Julia.
The future is too unpredictable.
This kind of agreement not only delays the other party, but also delays yourself.
Besides, the feeling Julia gave him was similar to the feeling Malena gave him, neither of which had the heart-pounding attraction.
“Okay.” Julia smiled, not angry because of Russell’s polite rejection.
The two of them gradually became silent, then swayed their bodies gently, and slowly exited the dance floor as the song ended.
Just when Russell thought it was over, Julia suddenly asked again: “Are there many black-rumped snakes in the Black-rumped Snake Manor?”
“Not really. Most of the black-rumped snakes were moved away by my father.”
“I’m most afraid of snakes. It would be nice if there weren’t any.”
Does it matter whether you are afraid of snakes or not, and whether there are snakes in my territory? Russell wanted to ask this, but in the end he just responded with a smile: “Haha.”
During intermission, the men and women returned to their seats.
The men and women who danced happily sat together and chatted enthusiastically, preparing to wait for the next dance music to start before dancing.
Russell returned to his seat and sat down, and Julia also sat next to him, seemingly still unwilling to give up.
He picked up the juice sent by the servant and took a sip: “Will you strive to become the Lord of the Principality? Many second sons of earls and barons will choose to be loyal to the Grand Duke.”
“have no idea.”
“Have you never considered this issue?”
“I don’t usually think that far ahead, and I’m just coming of age.”
“All right.”
The topic is a bit awkward.
Russell looked not far away. His eldest brother, Roland, was making a lady laugh. Cousin Mel was not too generous, and he was affectionate with the daughter of a principality lord.
In fact, why didn’t he want to talk nonsense, make Julia’s flowers tremble, and then have a spring night in the evening, which would be worth a lot of money.
When it’s over, just walk away, pat your butt, and leave. Anyway, you don’t have to take any responsibility.
But he just couldn’t do it.
I could only hold the juice and drink it without a sip, awkwardly staying with Julia who was silent and didn’t know what she was thinking.
finally.
The music started again and it was time for another dance.
“Well, I’m not very good at dancing, so forget it.”
“Okay.” Julia stood up and left Russell.
But just as Julia walked away, a new lady came over and greeted her warmly and directly: “Sir Russell, can you ask me to dance?”
Russell looked at the other party and gave him a six-point rating.
Although he was a little embarrassed, he still shook his head firmly: “Sorry, I drank a little too much juice, so it’s not convenient for me to dance at the moment.”
“It’s okay.” The other party twisted his hips gracefully and walked away.
Couples of men and women on the dance floor had already started dancing. Russell, who was about to watch others dancing quietly, waited until a lady came towards him.
“Hi, Mr. Russell.”
“Hi.”
“Would you like me to have a dance?”
“Of course.” Russell stood up happily and silently gave the other party an eight-point rating in his mind. He was on par with Julia and Malena. They didn’t have that stunning appearance, but their figure, temperament and face were both good.
The dance ended and Russell and the other party quickly separated.
Although the other party was very interested in him, after sensing Russell’s attitude, the other party quickly gave up on this fantasy, much more simply than Julia.
Before he could get the juice, Russell heard someone behind him saying in a slightly weird voice: “Is Mr. Russell still here? I thought you would go to the toilet after drinking too much juice, but it turns out you can still dance.”
This person was the young lady whom Russell had rejected on the pretext of drinking too much juice.
Russell took a sip of juice to hide his embarrassment.
But there was no argument.
Seeing that Russell didn’t answer, the other party was too embarrassed to say anything more. He stepped on high heels, turned around and walked away again.
Being so disturbed, Russell lost interest in continuing to dance.
No matter who invited him next, he refused directly. He just sat in his seat, drank three large glasses of juice, and then actually went to the toilet.
After returning from the toilet, the dance was over.
The eldest brother Roland was nowhere to be seen. Apparently he slipped away directly to a room in the castle with a certain lady.
The eldest cousin Sessel and his wife just left, followed by a good-looking girl. This girl was Russell’s cousin, the same age as Russell but a few months older.
“First cousin, first cousin, Sethaway, are you going back to rest?” Russell said hello.
“Yes, are you alone?” Sethaway asked curiously, “I saw that several ladies invited you to dance.”
“Just dancing.”
Although they were relatives, they were really not familiar with each other, so they didn’t talk much. The cousins said goodbye and left. They lived in the guest tower.
Russell was also ready to turn around and go back to rest.
Then I saw Cousin Mel appear out of nowhere: “Russell, what’s going on with you? You got nothing all night.”
“And you.”
“I sent Clemmy away and her aunt came.” Mel shrugged and asked again, “Didn’t you and Julia have a good chat? I saw you talking and laughing while dancing. Why did you two separate as soon as you turned around?”
“I have no intention of getting married and having children now.”
“It’s just a joke. Who asked you to marry a wife and have children?” Mel sighed, holding his forehead.
But seeing the seriousness in Russell’s eyes, he didn’t say anything more, and just said with emotion: “What a pure and good man, Russell, don’t worry, my cousin will definitely introduce you to a famous lady who will make your heart beat.” “
