Chapter 210 Doris
Two more days passed, and soon it was the day of the Castor family head's birthday. The entire castle was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, no longer as lifeless as before. Busy servants were everywhere, and some relatives who were away also stepped into the castle with joy.
"Doris, your cat is quite beautiful!"
"Yeah, yeah, where did you get such an adorable cat?"
"Mmm~ So soft."
In the banquet hall, Doris, the youngest daughter of the Castor family patriarch, was surrounded by a group of noble ladies because she was holding a white cat in her arms.
The white cat had bright, lively eyes and emitted a delightful fragrance. Combined with his adorable appearance, all the noble ladies smiled like doting aunts when they saw him.
"Stop touching it, you'll break it if you keep touching it!"
"You guys..."
"Little Snowflake will be unhappy."
Although her tone was full of reproach, Doris's face was full of pride and smugness. She was still young and naturally had a competitive spirit. A cute little cat had earned her many admiring glances, which made her very happy.
Normally, given her status, she would only receive a few words of flattery from this group of noble ladies. But because of this kitten, she is now surrounded by people. Thinking of this, Doris is even more pleased with herself. She even couldn't help but stroke the kitten's fur, her eyes full of affection.
Of course, while some were happy, others were disappointed. In a corner of the banquet hall, Puto sat alone in a chair. Puke, being a servant, had gone to attend to other matters, leaving Puto alone, looking dejected.
For two whole days, he hadn't seen Lin Tian at all!
Lin Tian's sudden disappearance not only made him panic, but also filled him with despair.
In his eyes, Lin Tian was his means of choosing a partner, just like the ladder for him to become the head of the family. Although he knew it was somewhat impossible, years of oppression had given him a twisted mentality. He longed to rise to the top in one step, and his heart was full of fantasies.
Where did they go?
Puto scanned the banquet hall with a restless gaze, finally settling on Doris.
"Doris is still so beautiful..."
In a typical story, a poor boy suffering from oppression and a pampered rich girl might spark some romance.
But this is reality. Not only did they not spark any romance, but Doris, who was like a goddess in Puto's eyes, was under the command of Dorek, whom he hated the most.
Thinking of this, his expression became even more dejected, but as he lowered his head slightly, his gaze suddenly fell on the white cat in Doris's arms.
For some reason, Puto suddenly had a sense of déjà vu. He stared intently at the white cat, and his body involuntarily lifted off the chair.
"You are......"
"Brother Puto?"
"What are you here for?"
Looking at Puto approaching her, Doris racked her brains for a long time before she remembered his name.
It's really not her fault; the main problem is that Puto's presence in the family is extremely low.
"Haha, can't I come to see you even if there's nothing wrong?"
"Hahaha~"
"Haha~"
"Ha~"
Seemingly sensing the awkward atmosphere, Puto slowly lowered his right hand, which had been scratching his head.
The two fell into a silent stare, and without realizing it, Puto slowly shifted his gaze to the snow-white kitten.
However, after making eye contact with him, the cat turned its head away and buried itself between Doris's snow-white breasts, vigorously applying face wash.
Even the cat dislikes me?
Puto's expression gradually became tense, but fortunately, he was mentally strong and quickly regained his composure. Seeing Doris staring straight at him, he could only subconsciously try to start a conversation.
"I wonder if my sister has ever seen a man?"
As he spoke, Puto described Lin Tian's appearance, but Doris didn't listen to any of it. She assumed that Puto was just trying to start a conversation because he was embarrassed.
She was obsessed with looks, and Puto's ordinary appearance didn't add much to her appeal. Moreover, his status as an illegitimate child made Doris even more resistant.
"No."
A flat and extremely cold voice ended the conversation, and the two fell silent again. Doris seemed to have no intention of continuing to speak and prepared to turn her head away.
However, whether unwilling to accept this or genuinely wanting to know Lin Tian's whereabouts, Puto anxiously asked again:
"Think back again, him..."
"I said I've never seen it, and I mean I haven't!"
"Puto, I don't want to talk about this right now, please stop..."
This time, he didn't even call her "brother."
"but......"
"The party has begun."
With a single sentence, Doris ended the match, walking towards the center of the hall without looking back, leaving Puto standing alone and dejected.
meow~
"Little Snowflake? You're awake?"
The little white cat had woken up at some point. It clung to Doris's shoulder and looked at Puto with a strange expression.
Sorry buddy, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that you're really useless.
goodbye......
............
There's not much to say about the banquet; some richly dressed nobles clinked glasses, chatted and laughed, and the banquet quickly came to an end.
The ailing head of the Castor family did not attend the event, but that did not mean the birthday celebration was unrelated to him; on the contrary, the main event was yet to come.
After the banquet, the heirs gathered together, clearly divided into three groups.
Second son, Dorrick.
Fifth Prince Dofens.
And other neutral parties.
The atmosphere among the crowd was somber, with almost everyone tense. They were gathered not to fight, but to head to a certain place.
"Let's go, second brother, what are you waiting for?"
Doffins looked arrogant, and next to him stood an old woman, who appeared to be the treatment he had sought.
"Isn't it because I was worried you weren't prepared?"
"My dear brother..."
Doric's expression was calm, and he seemed more composed than Doffins, but a closer look at his eyes would reveal that his inner self was not as calm as his outward appearance.
Several strangers were standing next to him, so it seemed he wasn't completely unprepared.
"Then... let's go!"
