Chapter 488 Windermere Banquet
Chapter 488 Windermere Banquet
Since you want to take action, you always have to learn from others.
Lucius had previously kidnapped Greengrass, and with Lance turning a blind eye and encouraging him, everyone in the pureblood circle knew about it.
This is the name of Allen's career.
This move, under the guise of pursuing justice and seeking an explanation for Greengrass, could quickly suppress Lucius's arrogance.
At the very least, it sends a signal——
The blond crown prince was dissatisfied with Malfoy.
And all of this is reflected in Ellen opening Christmas gifts.
This year’s Christmas gifts, in addition to the annual conventions of royal dignitaries from various countries, national dignitaries, and royal relatives exchanging gifts, and excluding Hogwarts professors and those simple Muggles, these are the things that need to be paid attention to. A gift for the nobility at the forefront.
Pure-blood families still adhere to the old aristocratic practices of centuries ago. Sometimes when it is inconvenient to speak, they will give special gifts and let the gifts speak for themselves.
For example, those pure-blood families that have always been silent and neutral sent some Muggle products this time.
It can not only show their position, but also prevent Allen from focusing on them.
And those families who want to compete will put a lot of effort into gifts.
For example, Greengrass, Parkinson, who had offended Allen for a long time, and the Marcus family, who had repeatedly accused Allen of his bloodline.
They will give you some expensive and rare magic products.
Including the Malfoy family.
But Lucius's starting point for giving gifts is different from those families who want to strive for benefits. In the past two years, he has received too many benefits from Allen. Even for the purpose of "returning gifts", he should give something expensive. Something comes over.
Of course, these families with entangled interests are mainly concentrated in Slytherin.
In other words, the pure-blood families in other colleges are not particularly sensitive to interests, and they are not so repulsive to Muggle blood. They even... don't have much funds at all, and they don't even have the tickets to participate in this fight.
Like the Weasley family.
Maybe that's a bit rude?
Anyway, at the end of the Christmas vacation, Allen sent out invitations to these families.
The party was to be held at Windermere Villa.
This is the first time that Allen allows these "pure-blood nobles" to set foot in his territory.
This banquet will also be used to bring a new future to the wizarding world.
On the evening of January 1th, Windermere was brightly lit.
The heads of each family took their heirs with invitations, and the door keys on them took them to the lake inside the castle.
Ice and snow have covered the ginkgo trees and frozen the usually blue lake into ice. In this snow-covered winter scene, little bits of fluorescent light are floating in it, which is extremely beautiful.
Lance took Blair, who was in charge of business, and Elizabeth Evans, a lady known for her affinity, to greet them here and arrange for the waiter to take them to the banquet hall.
Diana was in charge of the banquet hall.
She brought along Gawain Shire, the chief executive, and Amber Lawrence, who was familiar with the relationship between the nobles, and they were at ease in the infield.
In the past six months, she has not been idle.
In addition to dealing with social banquets and public welfare speeches in the ordinary world, he also has to deal with many affairs of the Knights, discuss with Lance the strategy for the Ministry of Magic and the nobles, especially... dealing with many politicians and nobles in the magical world.
She can now be said to be good at dancing. She often has a clear smile. At first glance, she is no longer as unattainable as the moon goddess.
At present, more than a dozen family heads and their heirs have taken their seats, chatting with Diana familiarly, sitting together in twos and threes, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
Until Lucius enters the scene...
The scene suddenly fell silent, and the faces of the family heads were a little ugly.
Diana stepped forward knowingly, raised the champagne glass, "Good evening, Mr. Malfoy."
She looked at Draco, who was wearing a formal dress next to her, with a hint of a smile, "Mr. Malfoy, long time no see - it's been three days since we've seen each other, so let's see each other with admiration!"
But no, Draco now has a calm aura about him that almost overwhelms the Malfoy arrogance.
Against the background of this black dress, she looks even more mature and steady.
Lucius raised his chin arrogantly and looked at the children beside him with pride.
Draco also gave a [-]-degree smile, nodded and said, "Good evening, Miss Sharp - you gave me a lot of help when I was in first and second grade, and I am very grateful for your teaching!"
……it's a pity.
Diana thought so.
When Draco smiled, the arrogance that belonged to Malfoy suddenly took over.
After all, the quality of acquired education cannot compete with what exists in genes.
Diana kept a light smile and responded, "You have always been a very smart student, and I am very happy to be able to help you."
Lucius glanced at them, seeming interested.
He actually doesn't like Astoria very much, and this has nothing to do with the girl herself - when entering into a marriage, the first consideration is profit.
Now that Greengrass was accepted by His Highness, he was rising steadily in the eyes of outsiders, but as the person in charge of everything, he knew Greengrass' true family background very well.
Such a family background is not comparable to today's Malfoy.
But if it were Diana in front of him, it would be different.
Although Diana is a complete Muggle, the other party is the person in charge of Windermere and Lance Loren.
Besides, when the Muggle Crown Prince is in power, blood is the least important thing!
Lucius narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and left by himself.
It didn't take long for everyone to arrive.
When it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, Lance signaled Blair to stay outside and waited. He also signaled Alger Philip to take care of Windermere's defense. He stepped into the castle from another entrance and knocked on Allen's door.
The wooden door opened silently.
The knight commander with silver hair and purple eyes was wearing a handsome silver-grey banquet dress. He stood at the door and leaned slightly, "Your Highness, the time has come."
Allen was tying his bow tie in front of the mirror.
The long velvet black belt was wrapped around the slender white fingers, and was dexterously wrapped into a full bow tie.The crisp custom-made long coat floated over and fell on him obediently when he raised his arms.
He looked sideways, his sea blue eyes so calm.
