For some time since the ball ended, many of the nobles were discussing things about Voperion and Hill, which made Wise feel very anxious, and the number of visits to Ifu increased significantly.

Until that day, when he wore a solemn shirt and invited Ifu to the palace tea party five days later.

She knew that was the day she could leave.

When Ifu informed Voperion of the news, his expression did not fluctuate much: "This time is hard, and I will help you fight against Mirihog after the deed is completed." ”

"Although I never said it, you found out. ”

"Just guess it. ”

He played with the empty wide-mouthed wine glass in his hand, and there was still a slight aroma of Bloody Mary on the wall of the glass.

"Let's talk about something other than trading, I want to know what your friends call you?"

She looked up at him, still fiddling with his glass, which seemed to have something engraved on it that interested him.

"Ifu. ”

"That's what I'll call you. He asserted.

"What about you?"

"Me—" he finally let go of the glass, and put it back on the table, "I have no friends, so the word Duke is the one I hear the most, except for the name Vapperyon." ”

"Isn't Jera a friend?" In Yifu's impression, the marquis named Jera was quite good to him.

"Sort of, Geral, though we don't share the same interests, he works hard and doesn't like to play tricks on civilians, and I'm willing to say a few more words to him on that alone. ”

"What about me?" Ifu asked with a wink.

"You?" Vopperion didn't expect her to ask.

"There are a lot of things you wouldn't tell me if you just used each other, would you?" How could the Duke of the Empire, who was scheming and had a fairly solid royal trust and social status, trust anyone.

"You're a fool, it's different. His tone was joking, but there was still no rise or fall on his face.

"You're the first to say that about me. Yi Fu smiled a little awkwardly: "Uh, where am I like a fool?"

"When we meet in the dungeon. He didn't tell her in detail, but said with some relief: "But very lucky, we finally met." ”

Yi Fu didn't understand a little, so he automatically understood that if he hadn't seen him in the dungeon, it might have been a worse situation now.

"I still have some business to take care of, you can rest early. Seeing that Ifu was lost in thought, he dropped the sentence and left.

Looking at the direction of Vopperion's departure, Ifu found the divination card on the table.

The beautifully patterned cards are printed with a single color, and the words under the candle flame are a little dazzling and painful.

"Don't get too close to the abyss. Yi Fu said.

Idle is idle, she shuffles the cards again: "This time I'm going to cheat and draw two." ”

God's mandate.

Providential.

Two cards with these words written on them lay silently on the table.

"I don't understand at all. With that in mind, she put the cards back away and went back to her room.

When the time came to the day of the tea party, the sky of Kashgar was shrouded in gray smoke as always.

The dress for the tea party was sent by Wise, and although it fits, the style is much more luxurious than before.

The court tea party was initiated by Wise and was attended by nobles and ministers, including the king of Kashgar.

Its purpose is well known.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Yi Fu was always a little unaccustomed, the decoration and embroidery on the skirt were completely sewn to the specifications of the princess, she hesitated, or changed the undershirt to the Bukrandu style clothing she wore before.

When they came downstairs, Vopperion was already waiting for her on the first floor, and the two looked at each other, and then got into the carriage together.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

"Well, what about you?"

"Me too. ”

Perhaps she felt a lot of tightness in her chest because she was too nervous, and the sound of the wheels turning made her even more irritable.

Vapperion seemed to sense this, and put his hand over hers.

Even though there were gloves between the two of them, she still felt the coldness passed from his palm, and she wanted to raise her hand to refuse, but found that she couldn't.

She didn't know what he had prepared for today, or why he had chosen the day Wise asked for the wedding.

All she knew was that he was going to start a war here today.

"By the way, do you know the meaning of the phrase 'don't get too close to the abyss'?" Ifu said, pointing to the card she couldn't figure out.

After saying that, she felt the hands covering her, and her knuckles shook slightly.

It wasn't until the air seemed to freeze that she heard him say it.

"I don't know. ”

The voices outside the carriage gradually became lively, and it must have been almost the place of the tea party, and when she saw Vopperion say this, she did not ask any more questions, and they reached their destination in silence.

Before the driver opened the door, he adjusted his expression.

"Here, be careful. He got out of the car, put his hand in front of her, and said in a gentle tone.

She also collected all the emotions in her heart and smiled back at him.

"Thank you, Elder Brother. ”

There were many more people in attendance today than we had seen at the previous balls, and it looked a little more crowded because of the wings.

"Slow down. Vopperion escorted her with his wings, and when he heard Voperyon's voice, the people turned to make way for them.

At the very front, Wise was waiting.

Vopperion gave Ivot's hand to Wise and retreated not far from Ivot, waiting for the start to begin.

After a few moments, the king of Kashgar came to the meeting hall under the escort of the knights and sat on the top position.

As the king sat down, the people also performed the salutation - "Humble your body to see my lord." ”

The king of Kashgar is very tall, and the domineering aura he exudes makes him not angry and arrogant.

He sat on top of it, looking at all things, and he was the only one.

This is the most oppressive monarch Ifu has ever seen.

"Father. ”

Then Wyton, Wysha, and Wyth saluted him, and the king of Kashgar did not speak, only raised his left hand slightly.

"Wise is in such a big battle today, but what's the matter?"

Wise took Yifu's hand again and saluted the king of Kashgar with Yifu: "Today, I have summoned all the relatives and nobles, and I have bothered the presence of the royal brother, the royal sister and the father, because there is a matter related to the child's life and I want to ask for the grace of the father. ”

After saying this, Wise got up and continued, "The boy wants to ask his father for a favor, and I am in love with the Duke's sister Hill, Lord Voperyon, and I hope that my father will be fulfilled. ”

Almost all the guests present knew that Wise had already informed the king of Kashgar about Yifu, and the king of Kashgar was also very satisfied with him, and this palace tea party was just a formality to announce the news to the world.

So no one questioned it, and no one asked about the Yifu matter.

Before the king of Kashgar could speak, he heard the voice of the official outside.

"Mistress Mirihogg has arrived—"
