Chapter 365: Fairy Tale
Helena appeared at the entrance of the palace, dressed in an off-white floor-length gown and wearing a crown of beads. The huge pearls reflected her azure eyes, and the folds shone brightly. The maid lifted the hem of her skirt, and the guests gave way, and she walked up to David and bowed shallowly.
David took Helena's silk-gloved fingers, kissed them lightly on the back of his hand, and complimented, "You are so beautiful today, Helena." ”
Helena looked forward to life: "That's just because we haven't seen each other for too long. ”
"I apologize to you, Helena," David smiled softly, "but for the sake of how inconvenient I have been lately, please don't blame me again." ”
"I understand the inconvenience," Helena said tenderly, looking at David, "I never blame you in my heart." ”
Gu Hanhan blinked at the side: What did I miss? Why is this rhythm so abnormal-Could it be that the five good young men are planning to get engaged to Helena again tonight?
David said a few words to Helena tenderly, and David took Helena's arm and said, "There is still a little time for the banquet to officially start, let's rest for a while, don't be too tired." ”
Helena nodded slightly, and then she was surrounded by maids and valets to ascend the steps to the chair on the left side of the center. When she passed Gu Hanhan, she held her head high arrogantly, did not look at Gu Hanhan, and her attitude was contemptuous and reserved, as if she was a female slave standing beside David.
Gu Hanhan didn't care that Helena treated herself as air, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: Fortunately, fortunately, as long as the princess doesn't come to me to pinch......
But David turned around and gave Gu Hanhan an explanation: "Helena is my contract healer......"
This made Gu Hanhan think a lot--what did the five good young men mean by this? Does he want to be engaged to Helena or not? Does he encourage me to fight against Helena or persuade me to release the water in case of a fight?
However, after David only whispered to her, he turned his head to greet His Excellency, another prominent patriarch of the Acropolis, Gu Hanhan had no way to ask, only muttered in his heart, thinking of David's previous words of "Don't worry, nothing will happen", and he felt that today's signs were ominous, and it seemed that there was no good feast.
But at this time, it is impossible to retreat. After Helen, the last few prominent nobles or agents were also present, and the banquet officially began.
The gorgeous music sounds, it is a very famous dance music in A major, and the meaning is very beautiful. All the guests waited for David to dance the first song of the opening song, their eyes full of anticipation and inquiry. Because there have been rumors before that the Duran family is preparing for the engagement of David and Helena. If David Duran really plans to get engaged to Helena, then he will definitely announce the engagement at today's autumn dinner. The way to announce the engagement must be to invite Helena to the first dance, and then, after the dance is over, he proposes to Helena in public - this is not a matter for anyone to prescribe, it is a tacit agreement of the Acropolis nobles.
David did not hesitate, as soon as the overture sounded, he stretched out his hand to Gu Hanhan. This made Gu Hanhan and the guests stunned together, and their hearts were full of mixed feelings and emotions.
The aristocrats of the Acropolis lamented that the rumors had finally come to naught, and they could not imagine that the charm of the mistress was so great that David Duran refused to even get married. As for surprise, it's natural, things that have already been rumored to change are never a good sign in the Lighthouse, and most of them are followed by gasping rain and wind, which is enough to make people's hearts shake.
Gu Hanhan was stunned because - dancing?
She sighed with emotion -- such a romantic scene full of fairy tales finally made my sister catch up, five good young people, you are so handsome! Nima, I finally let my sister take a turn on the fairy tale female pig's feet, but why do you still have to dance, how can my sister dance square dance? No one told me that I had to dance in addition to the punishment station, why couldn't I be notified in advance, and my sister could still practice in advance. Sister just skipped once, or a boat ballroom dance, and now I forget that I don't even have any hair left, it's a shame that I can't turn around in a circle after such a high-end big scene!
However, when it comes to the end, you have to do it, and if you can't do it, you have to do it! Gu Hanhan put his hand on David's palm, and looked at his gentle and amorous blue eyes - Do you want to turn around and be embarrassed to point all at you, five good young men, anyway, my sister can't do anything. Then as soon as her body was light, she was pulled into David's arms.
Her hand fell into his grasp, and her waist was firmly wrapped around his arms. She was next to her, and even through the dress, she could feel the warmth of his chest, and his body exuded a charming smell like a fallen leaf, which made Gu Hanhan feel ape for a moment, with some confusion, and unconsciously spun with him.
Helena glared in shock, then stood up angrily and left the palace on the spot. However, fortunately, the bloody scene of "two women fighting for a husband and fighting each other" that Gu Hanhan was worried about was not directly staged. Helena did not have a seizure on the spot, it was probably out of face and aristocratic instinct.
Gu Hanhan rotated with David's guidance, as wonderful as walking in the clouds. She is like a spirit possessed, as if she is being pulled by the god of fate, and knows where to settle without thinking. This is enough to prove that it is up to the dance partner to dance or not, and she dances well in his bosom. At the end of the song, they were greeted with enthusiastic applause.
Gu Hanhan stood beside David, his cheeks flushed, and his heart pounded. She had never experienced such a scene before, and the dream was like falling into a fairy tale. And David held Gu Hanhan's hand, feeling her snuggled up to him, colliding like a deer, and his heart was surging, and he couldn't help himself, and he almost couldn't help but really take out the ring, so he formally proposed to Gu Hanhan.
But at last he restrained his impulsive feelings, nodded slightly and greeted everyone, then returned to his seat and gave up the center of the palace to the guests. He first sent Gu Hanhan into a chair, and then sat down next to her.
After Gu Hanhan's excitement faded a little, he found that the chair Helena was sitting on just now was empty. "You the princess?" she asked.
"I didn't expect Helena to come today," David whispered to Gu Hanhan, "In order not to make her too angry and sad, when I broke the engagement, I ordered the Heidi family to temporarily hide her from this matter, and tried to prevent her from attending today's banquet, but it seems that they couldn't stop her." ”
Gu Hanhan thought to himself: The world is as black as a crow, and those who are feudal autocratic leaders are really unreasonable, even the five good young people are no exception. You have to hide from Helena that you are not allowed to tell her about the cancellation of the marriage contract, and you want to prevent her from coming to the banquet, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world? Even I heard at school that you may announce that you are going to be engaged to her today, how can it be possible for Helena to be absent on such a big day?! unless you cover her face and beat her so that she can't get out of bed......
"It's so easy for a good person to do?" Gu Hanhan spread his hands, "It seems that you have stimulated the princess even more." ”
David sighed softly: "Then I have to be a villain." It was not easy to cancel the agreement, and she couldn't announce her engagement again just because she came to the banquet. ”
"I knew that you should have found a princess to dance," Gu Hanhan said, "If you don't look for me, she might not be so angry." ”
David shook his head: "If I had danced the opening dance with her and didn't announce my engagement to her, Helena would only be more angry." So it's better to let her know it all at once. ”
Gu Hanhan was surprised: "What else can the opening dance have to do with the engagement?"
"Although there is no legal code, the superpower families of the Acropolis usually choose to propose after the opening dance of the banquet. Because most marriage contracts will never have a wedding, which probably implies a witness," David looked at Gu Hanhan, "so if you dance and don't propose or fail to propose, it will be treated as a joke by the Acropolis." ”
Gu Hanhan remembered the moment when his heart was pounding just now, and he was instantly shocked, and blurted out a sentence: "Then I have to pay attention in the future, no one can go to invite dance!"
David smiled wryly: should he be glad that he didn't just propose without a smile, or should he regret it......
"Aren't you going to see Helena?" Gu Hanhan asked, "If you don't hurry up and go to the princess to confess your mistakes and repent, be careful that the princess kicks you in a fit of anger and gives you a break or two, then you won't have a doctor." ”
- Although my sister can also treat you, haven't you joined the team of my sister's harmonious and stable healing relationship?
David came back to his senses and smiled. "No," he said, "a contract is a contract, and a marriage contract is a marriage contract, and there is no confusion between the two, and Helena will figure it out when she loses her temper." ”
Helena is clearly experienced: "She's angry, and it's counterproductive to comfort her now." Let's wait for her to dissipate. I'll call Philip to accompany her in a moment, and he will always find a way to make her happy. ”
Gu Hanhan was speechless, and said in his heart: Although you and Helena don't have a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship now, your contract healer is so angry with yourself that you want your little friend to coax you, how does this feel so wrong!
After staying honest for a while, Gu Hanhan couldn't sit still, so he asked David quietly: "I've been sitting like this, can we move now?"
"Of course," said David, "is it boring? I'll go out for a walk with you." After that, he stretched out his hand to Gu Hanhan to hold her,
Gu Hanhan didn't mean to walk around the garden and talk about love with David in the dark corners, but when he looked around, he found that as soon as David stood up, someone crowded nearby to prepare to socialize, so he hurriedly pointed to the guests who were about to move, and said, "You still go and get busy with yours, I'll just go play by myself." ”
David was not reluctant, but told Gard, "You and Miss are with you, and find a few other ladies and ladies to accompany her." ”
"No, no, I don't need to find someone to accompany me, I'll just go shopping by myself. Gu Hanhan waved goodbye to David and said, "I have a fellow earthman who should have come to this banquet today, but I didn't seem to have seen it just now." I'll have to find him. I'll bring him to you after a while, and you must see him. ”
