Chapter 219: The Engagement Ceremony

"Congratulations, boss!"

After Volin and the others arrived, they congratulated Mo Yu one after another, and their mood was completely relaxed.

"Are you injured?" Mo Yu frowned, and at a glance he could see that the aura on Volin and the others was a little disordered, obviously with injuries on their bodies.

"I got into a few fights and got a little bit of a wound. Vaughn said.

The others lowered their heads, showing shame, so many of them didn't even fight a single Holy Rank, but let Hicks come to the rescue.

"I've worked hard for you before. With a wave of Mo Yu's sleeves, hundreds of starlights suddenly swept out and submerged into the bodies of Volen and the others.

"Thank you, Boss. ”

Volin and the others thanked each other, and they felt the injuries in their bodies recover at an extremely fast speed.

"Let's go. Mo Yu nodded and took the lead in sweeping out.

Everyone also followed behind Mo Yu and swept in the direction of the nearest big city, where there was a gateway to the capital of the Roland Empire, Ipasano City.

......

The capital of the Roland Empire, the city of Ipazano.

It sits in the center of the Roland Empire, with sharp edges and corners, and its shape looks like a roaring lion.

This is a magnificent, the layout of the atmosphere is exquisite, but also full of historical atmosphere of the city, the towering city wall, flashing with the cold luster, giving people an indestructible feeling, in the clear sky, it appears more majestic and magnificent, like a giant, standing on the vast earth.

Magnificent buildings sit in an orderly manner on both sides of the avenue, and the city is full of dazzling flower beds planted with all kinds of flowers.

And now is the season of flowers, all kinds of flowers are blooming colorful, like a fairyland on earth, butterflies and bees are flying and dancing, a busy and cheerful elves, shuttling between the flowers, everywhere is full of a kind of unrestrained, free and intoxicating, bursts of fragrance around your body, refreshing people's hearts.

This city is more majestic and magnificent than the imperial capital of the Yakaya Empire, and it is definitely among the top three main cities in the whole continent, which can also see the strength of the Roland Empire.

The city is full of colorful flags and laughter, and a week ago, the major taverns and nightclubs have been closed all night to welcome guests.

Today, on the engagement day of Young Master Valen of the Baria family and Miss Lilian of the Aslan family, luxury carriages passed by, and this time the people who congratulated them in addition to the dignitaries in the Roland Empire, as well as the envoys and dignitaries of various countries, naturally went to the most luxurious hotel in the imperial capital.

The Roland Empire does not have the title of Grand Duke, and the highest title under the royal family is the duke, and the Baria family and the Aslan family belong to one of the four wealthy families in the Roland Empire, and they have power and influence comparable to the royal family.

Mo Yu and the others had arrived a day before the engagement ceremony, but they didn't know Lilian's location yet, so they didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of startling the snake.

"Today's heroine, Miss Lilian, is said to be just an illegitimate daughter born to a maid. ”

"Won't it?"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, I lied!"

"Come on, you kid lied a lot, who said last time I had a one-night encounter with an elf?"

"That's nonsense I said when I was drunk!"

"Haha, I see you kid hasn't woken up from last night's hangover yet!"

......

The citizens are talking about this engagement ceremony, there is no impermeable wall in the world, the identity of Lilian's illegitimate daughter has long been circulated among the people, the Nabalia family ignored those gossip, insisted on marrying an illegitimate daughter into the family, the purpose is nothing more than for the benefit of the two families, in fact, this marriage is completely a victim of political interests.

In fact, most of the citizens don't care who marries whom, or even whether the marriage is a loss of power and humiliation of the country, they only care about the Barya family and the Aslan family, and all the goods in their property are sold at half price today, so that they can benefit greatly.

In the Duke's mansion of the Aslan family, Lillian sits like a walking corpse at the dressing table, letting the maids put her on makeup.

"Miss Liliane, you are really beautiful today!" said a maid in heartfelt admiration.

Lillian didn't reply, just sat at the dresser, not even glancing in the mirror for what she looked like.

Under the background of makeup, Lilian's clean and fair face is like cream, a pair of dark blue, faintly revealing mysterious eyes, a delicate nose bridge, and cherry-like crimson lips, which looks like a carefully carved porcelain doll, which makes people feel a glimpse.

However, at this moment, Lilian's expression greatly reduced this sense of beauty, which was as cold as losing its vitality, which made people feel distressed unconsciously.

"Miss Lilian, after all, it is a major event in life, and it is inevitable that you will be nervous, please relax, just think about the good days with Master Valen in the future, and it will be fine. ”

"Yes, Miss Lillian, today is just an engagement ceremony, not an immediate marriage. ”

"Relax, Miss Lillian. ”

The maids comforted one after another, they all thought that Lilian was just nervous, and the trouble before the engagement was awkward, after all, Young Master Valen was born in a wealthy family, and his status and appearance were second to none, but he was the dream marriage partner of many women on the continent of Taqueeno.

"You guys go out first, I want to be quiet. Lilian said suddenly.

"But there's time... The maids tried to persuade each other, but Lilian interrupted.

"Get out!" Lillian said coldly.

"All right, Miss Lillian, but keep an eye on the time, or Lord Nelson will blame us again. The maid said.

"Give me ten minutes. Lilian said slowly.

"Okay. The maids glanced at each other and withdrew from the room for the time being.

Lillian was the only one left in the spacious and bright bedroom, and she suddenly rushed to the bed, burrowed into the quilt, and couldn't help but hold her hands on her chest, curled up into a ball, and cold tears crossed her cheeks.

Woo!

Lillian bit her lip and forced herself to hold back the sound of crying, but her cheeks were full of tears, and there was a poignant feeling of rain hitting plantains.

"Brother Mo Yu, are you doing well now?" Lilian muttered to herself.

She misses the carefree and unrestrained life when she was with Grandpa Dios and Brother Mo Yu, and that was the happiest day at that time, she would rather give up everything now and return to that kind of life, but unfortunately all this cannot happen again, her so-called father will never let her go.

"Lord Duke Nelson. The maids outside the door saw Duke Nelson approaching, and hurried to salute.

"Miss Lillian?" Duke Nelson frowned slightly when he saw the maids standing outside the door.

"Miss Lillian said she wanted to be alone, so we.... Before the head maid could finish speaking, she felt a pain in her face and fell to the ground.

"I don't know what time it is?" said Duke Nelson, unashamed, raised his hand and slapped the chief maid in the face.

"Damn the villain. ”

The head maid, who fell to the ground, hurriedly got up, lowered her head, her face was swollen, and she didn't dare to wipe the blood that overflowed from the corners of her mouth.

The other maids did not dare to gasp, for fear of angering Duke Nelson, because they knew very well that their lives were like ants in the eyes of these superiors, and they could be crushed to death at will.

Duke Nelson didn't even glance at the maid, and pushed the door straight into Lillian's room.

As Lilian was reminiscing about the good old days under the covers, a sound of footsteps sounded in the silent bedroom, waking her up from the memory.

"Time... Still... Not... Come on. ”

Lillian choked up when she was crying, thinking it was the maid who was urging her.

"Lillian, do you have a problem with my presiding marriage?" said Duke Nelson coldly.

"No, Father!"

When Lillian heard Duke Nelson's voice, she shuddered, lifted the quilt and got up from the bed.

Lilian looked at Duke Nelson with a frightened face, she couldn't feel the so-called fatherly love from the middle-aged man in front of her, who used her completely as a tool.

"Hmph!" Duke Nelson snorted coldly, if it weren't for his daughter, who had a marriage contract, and had an accident during an adventure, in order not to affect the interests of the family, otherwise he would never have found this daughter born to a maid.

"Dios, what do you teach Lillian to be?" Duke Nelson said slowly, turning his gaze to Dios beside him.

"It's all the minions' fault, please don't blame Miss Lillian. Dios knelt down.

"Father, I won't be willful anymore. ”

Lillian lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Duke Nelson's cold eyes, she knew that if anything happened again, Dios would be punished again.

"It's for the best. Duke Nelson said coldly.

"What are you doing in a daze, dress her up and put on her gown, I don't want to see anything wrong with this engagement ceremony, or your heads will fall to the ground." Duke Nelson left behind a cold word and turned to leave.

Dios endured the grief in his heart, glanced back at Lillian, and left with Duke Nelson.

"Miss Lillian, sit down. ”

When the maids heard Duke Nelson's words, they shuddered violently, and immediately rushed up with various items to dress up Lily again.

Lillian froze in place, like a marionette, at the mercy of the maids, and she saw the head maid's red and swollen face, and did not want anything to hurt her.
