Chapter 349: Ball

Translator: Lonelytree

At this moment, a young man in his early twenties raised a glass of red wine and came to Matthew’s side.

“Because there’s a tradition in our family. If the eldest son isn’t married, then no matter how passionate the second son is with a woman outside, he will be asked to postpone his marriage indefinitely. Because of this reason, I’ve lost at least two girls who love me. I can wait, but they can’t.”

Then, he smiled helplessly at Matthew and extended his left hand.

“Patton, the northern tax collector of Rolling Stone Town. You should have heard of my name. I also know you very well. You are a mage who loves planting trees, a strong competitor for outstanding citizens, the new legal advisor of the Lord Main Hall, and the current hot favourite of Rheagar.

Matthew, right? Let’s get to know each other.”

Matthew shook hands with Little Patton very kindly.

Not long ago, Zeller had mentioned him when he was dealing with the case of the West Village refusing to pay taxes.

Little Patton, the tax collector, was the party involved in that case.

He was also the younger brother of the garrison captain, Blake, and the second son of Madam Liz.

Currently, it was said that he was recuperating at home because of a sexually transmitted disease.

“It seems that your resentment runs deep.”

The people from Deep Blue Harbor had not arrived yet, so Matthew casually chatted with Little Patton.

‘ Of course, I lost love because of this, and it wasn’t just once.”

Little Patton pursed his lips.

“When I was very young, I knew that my parents would only have their eldest son and youngest son in their eyes. People like me who are neither good nor bad are destined to be forgotten. But did they really care about Blake? I also suspect it.

“I know that Blake has someone he likes. She’s a widow from a private winery in the south of town.

“Oh, Blake loved her so much. He often visited her business and brought his brothers from the garrison with him, but Blake did not dare to look her in the eye.

“He could only silently like her and then watch her change male partners one after another in the past three years.

“Sometimes, I really want to help him kidnap the little widow back home so that he can get married as soon as possible. After that, my mother worries about my marriage.

“But thinking about it carefully, it’s impossible. That little widow isn’t worthy of our family. If I really did that, even if it was Blake’s idea, my mother would only break my legs. ” Matthew asked curiously, “How do you know so much?”

Little Patton shrugged.

“This is what the little widow told me in bed.

“She had always known that Blake liked him and had been waiting for him to confess. However, years flew by. Blake had not made a move. Which woman could wait for so long?

“She had lost her husband and three children.

“It was very difficult for one person to support a private winery!

“Blake’s cowardice disappointed her so much that she had no choice but to fall for other men, such as me.”

Matthew could not help but frown. “Didn’t you feel bad doing that?”

Little Patton said honestly,

“A little. To be honest, I don’t have any feelings for that widow. She wants my power to manage taxes, and I want her to have a moment of pleasure. After that, it’s a boring exchange of bodily fluids. Maybe I just want to take revenge on Blake. He stole all my parents’ love and attention.

“I came here today because I wanted to see Blake’s successful blind date. But from tonight’s performance, no woman would be willing to spend the rest of her life with a guy who only stares at his toes when he’s talking to her.

“I’m so unlucky!”

After saying that, he downed the red wine in his glass in one gulp and seemed to be ready to leave.

Matthew asked curiously,

“Are you leaving just like that? Aren’t you going to stay a little longer?”

Little Patton waved his hand.

“Forget it. You should have heard about me. I got some scabies in the North. I’m still eating herbs. I won’t harm others.

Judging from today’s situation, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get married in this lifetime. Sad, really sad!”

He sighed and walked towards the exit.

Matthew looked at his back with interest.

After taking a few steps, Little Patton suddenly turned back and placed a small paper bag in Matthew’s hand.

“I won’t be able to use this thing in the short term. I’ll give it to you. With your face, I’m afraid it’ll be very tiring for you tonight. Don’t forget to protect yourself and your partner. I hope you can put in a good word for Blake in front of Rheagar so that he can find a wife for Blake and get married as soon as possible.”

This time, he left without looking back.

Matthew opened the paper bag curiously and found three well-washed and well-made sheep intestines lying quietly inside! “Matthew, what’s that in your hand?”

A pleasant voice sounded.

Matthew turned his head and saw Sif wearing a light green fluffy dress with a few beautiful diamonds on her forehead. She was smiling at him warmly and shyly.

With lightning speed, he stuffed the paper bag into the Magic Bag.

“Nothing much, just some casting tools.”

He coughed.

Sif walked over with a smile. She raised her chin slightly and asked expectantly,

“Can you dance with me? Matthew.” Matthew hesitated.

“I’m not very good at dancing.”

Sif held his hand generously and pulled him to the dance floor with a smile in her eyes..
