Chapter 911 - Duke Moville (1/2)
All of the guests in the banquet hall were waiting to see a good show.
Avrora was considered to be the most beautiful woman in Russia where l.u.s.t and lechers were rampant. She had a ton of suitors and the reason why the Moville Duke’s Residence could still enjoy immense glory in the upper-cla.s.s society. In Russia, it was common for families to arrange marriages for their children in order to reap greater benefits.
Everyone in the circle was well aware that Avrora had a crush on Rex and, in fact, she was not alone. All the bachelorettes of the upper-cla.s.s society harbored designs on Rex and were bent on getting intimate with him.
However, to their disappointment, Rex had never been l.u.s.tful.
Gradually, rumors of Rex being a h.o.m.os.e.xual began to spread in Russia, and everyone started believing the rumors. After all, Russia was heaven for men, and no man could resist the temptation of a Russian woman.
They did not expect that Rex would openly bring a woman donning the representative token belonging to the matriarch of Lucifer along to the duke’s banquet.
Everyone managed to find out how Rex would handle the matter after seeing how he reacted when Avrora got jealous.
“Avrora! Watch your manners! You’re not allowed to be disrespectful towards our guests,” a voice exclaimed sternly as the sounds of heavy footsteps filled the air.
Wen Xinya looked in the direction of the sound to see an old Russian man walking towards them with a stern expression on his face. He was dressed in a cla.s.sic Russian costume and appeared to be in his sixties. However, there was not a single trace of old age on his face at all. Instead, he looked energetic with a commanding aura.
There was another man who appeared to be in his forties walking beside him, clad in an impeccable military uniform which made him look domineering. He resembled Duke Moville greatly, though he was much taller and buffer. Wen Xinya reckoned that he was the duke’s successor and Avrora’s father, Boris.
Duke Moville walked towards Si Yiyan and shot Avrora a glance of warning, after which Avrora had no choice but to bow to Si Yiyan and perform an aristocratic formality. She then stood beside her father while still keeping her eyes glued to the dangling earring on Wen Xinya’s ear.
Duke Moville guffawed and said, “It’s such a rare opportunity and a great honor to have you here, Rex!”
He scanned Wen Xinya from head to toe and paused for a moment as he saw the earring on her ear. However, he soon looked away, as if nothing had happened at all.
Si Yiyan answered calmly, “Don’t stand on ceremony, Duke Moville!”
He then glanced at Wen Xinya with a tender expression and gave her an introduction. “This is Duke Moville, and beside him is Lieutenant Colonel Boris, the successor of the Moville family.”
Wen Xinya bowed politely and said, “Nice to meet you, Duke Moville and Lieutenant Boris!”
Duke Moville smiled and asked, “Who’s this?”
Si Yiyan answered, “My fiancée, Bella. Duke Moville, you don’t mind that I’ve brought her along with me today, do you!?!”
He clearly did not plan to let the matter about Avrora slide.
Wen Xinya could not help but be appalled. Since when have I gotten myself a Russian name? However, I guess I can still accept it since Bella means wonderful in Russian.
Duke Moville was intelligent and he obviously understood what he meant. He shot Boris a glance, after which Boris soon caught the hint and stepped forward smilingly. “It’s my fault for failing to take my daughter in hand and allowing her to be disrespectful to the esteemed guests. I hereby apologize on Avrora’s behalf.”
