Soon after returning to the Temple of Light, Jian Lu and Amelia quickly began to get busy. Just fall in love.

As the Holy Maiden and Holy Son, not only is the image representative of the Temple of Light to the outside world, but sometimes some things encountered by the Temple that are not in the way of outsiders will be dealt with, which can be regarded as a kind of cultivation for them, anyway, as long as the above decides, they can only follow orders.

During the examination of the guardian paladin of Heinstone Guò, Amelia received an order from above and was sent to the Northern Continent to carry out a mission.

"An unknown epidemic occurred in the Rava Hills of the Northern Continent, which swept through several villages, and the priest in charge of the sub-temple of the temple below could not control the situation, so he had to ask the main hall for help, and the Pope sent me to take a look and find out the truth about the epidemic." Amelia simply stated her mission.

Now that they have returned from graduation and are strong enough to take charge on their own, they naturally have to start taking on their obligations. The Temple of Light cultivated them for this time.

After hearing this, Jian Lu knew that this kind of order was generally mandatory, and he couldn't stop going because of danger. I could only tell her to be careful, and after thinking about it, I gave her some recently made worm shell scrolls and several antidotes.

The two grew up together and were like brothers and sisters, and Amelia didn't shirk it, and after a few words with Jian Lu, she left.

When Amelia set out for the Northern Continent, Hines suddenly said to Jane, "Jane, I just heard that the elders are discussing the marriage of the Holy Maiden and Prince Alex. ”

Jian Lu was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted. The daughters of nobles in this era got married very early, and it was not uncommon for them to marry in their teens, and Amelia is now in her twenties, and in the eyes of the nobles, she is already an old girl. The reason why she is not married now is her identity, as the holy daughter of the Temple of Light, she has always married and had children late, but the other party is the prince of the Editis Empire in the Western Continent, and she is also the first heir in line, so his marriage can not be delayed any longer.

So, maybe Amelia will be married soon.

However, even if Amelia is married, she is still the saintess of the Temple of Light, representing the Temple of Light, until the next saintess grows up and the Temple of Light announces the new saintess to the outside world, Amelia will step down as a saint and really retreat into the background. It's just that she retreats into the background, and as a former saint, she still has to serve the Temple of Light.

Most of the value of the Holy Maiden is for marriage, and the marriage between the Temple of Light and the heir of the empire is also convenient for the Temple of Light to control the continent.

In this regard, Jian Lu was noncommittal, Amelia herself was willing to accept this marriage, and it was difficult for others to say anything.

However, Jian Lu also had thoughts in his heart.

So when the Edith Empire sent the ball invitation, and learned that it was Princess Alice's fifteenth birthday ball, Jian Lu did not push it off as in the past, but asked Vina to reply to the message, saying that she would attend at that time.

This is a world where divine power and royal power coexist, and the relationship between the temple and several empires on the continent is good and bad, but no matter which empire, it is very polite to the Temple of Light on the surface, and every time a palace banquet is held, an invitation will be sent to the Temple of Light.

Jian Lu used to be busy studying and practicing, and never participated in this kind of upper-class dance party, and felt that it was a waste of time, so he refused all. In normal times, if there is no major event, the temple does not require this kind of thing, and only when it needs to find out something, it will be compulsory, and other times it is up to the person to choose.

The life of the aristocracy is actually quite monotonous, and the monotony is full of extravagant chaos unique to the upper class, today's ball, tomorrow's ball, the name of the ball is varied, and even some are ridiculous, but many friendships between nobles are generated in the ball.

The nobles were used to this kind of thing, but this time the king held a fifteenth birthday ball for Princess Alice, and after hearing that the Holy Son of the Temple of Light would also be in attendance, the nobles in Cabe City were in a stir.

The daughter of Duke Adams of Cabe City, the Holy Daughter of the Temple of Light, was seen by many people when she was a child, and she was later seen as Prince Alex's fiancée, and she was seen at several court balls, so people are no strangers to her. In contrast, the Holy Son has never seen it once, even if the Holy Son will go to the people with the priest to bless and heal the poor every New Year, but in that kind of place where the poor stay, the nobles will naturally not condescend to run over just to see the Holy Son. This kind of thing is too shameful, and the nobles disdain to do it.

Therefore, until now, the nobles did not know what the Holy Son of the Temple of Light looked like.

For the world, the successive sons and daughters of the Temple of Light are all a combination of handsome men and beautiful women, very eye-catching, and this combination has never disappointed. Everyone has a love for beauty, especially the private life of the nobles, who can do any dirty things, and are famous for the holy sons and daughters of each Temple of Light, and even fall in love with them.

Therefore, when they heard that the Holy Son of the Temple of Light would also attend Princess Alice's birthday ball, everyone who knew the news was shocked, and they took out more enthusiasm than ever to attend the ball, and even several other people from the Empire who came to give Princess Alice birthday gifts also felt that this trip was worth it.

As the princess of the Edith Empire after the queen, King Edith's favorite little princess, Princess Alice's fifteenth birthday ball was held quite grandly, and everyone who could come came, not only the four empires, but also several major trade unions, Griffin Chamber of Commerce, etc., all sent people to send congratulatory gifts, making Cabay City start to be lively a month ago.

Jian Lu decided to attend Princess Alice's birthday ball temporarily, and he didn't expect it to cause such a sensation, but even if he knew, he didn't take it to heart.

He didn't pay attention to it, but Hines did, and when he learned the reaction of the people in Cabe City from his subordinates, Hines felt a little annoyed and reluctant.

Hines knew better than anyone the charm of Jian Lu, this man was born delicate and handsome, even a little inferior to women, even the elves who were known for their beauty were disgraced in front of him. As long as he stands in the crowd, he is always the shining point in the crowd, and I don't know how many women have fallen in love with him, which always makes Hines secretly angry, and wants to hide him.

The only thing that makes him happy is that Jian Lu has never paid attention to personal feelings because he has an unknown secret in his heart, so he can remain single until now, which also makes him happy and uncomfortable.

On the day of Princess Alice's birthday ball, the Temple of Light sent a paladin to send Jian Lu to the palace to participate in the ball.

There is no way, the Holy Son is the external image representative of the Temple of Light, and it is rare for the Holy Son to attend a palace ball, and the Temple of Light naturally wants to build momentum for the Holy Son, so as not to lose the face of the Temple.

The more powerful and powerful you are, the more you care about face.

Jian Lu was noncommittal about this, and sat peacefully in the luxury Warcraft car, looking indifferent, pretending to be first-class.

In front of the palace, Hines, who was the guardian knight of the Holy Son, handed over the invitation, and the captain of the palace guard took a look at it, and quickly retreated respectfully.

This scene made many uninformed people unhappy, and they didn't understand why they came first to give way, and after discovering that the guards next to the monster car were the paladins of the Temple of Light, they soon had no complaints, and even a little anxious, stretched their necks to see the style of the Holy Son, but unfortunately, from beginning to end, the bead curtain of the monster car was tightly covered, and no one could see clearly.

After the monster car entered the palace, it had its own special parking place, and until the Holy Son was personally welcomed into the palace by the second prince Alex, those people did not see a single hair of him.

In the palace of the second prince, after the maid served the famous wine and snacks, she quietly retreated.

Alex personally poured the wine and smiled at Jian Lu and the two: "Your Excellency, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Jian Lu bowed his head coldly at him, and sat there calmly pretending to be forced, without drinking.

At this time, Hines came forward to negotiate, and he also knew the reason why Jian Lu came to the ball today, so he naturally wanted to help him, so he greeted Alex immediately.

"It's been a long time, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince looks pretty good."

Alex's expression was much more relaxed than when he was outside just now, and he didn't care about Jian Lu's coldness, he had known him for so long, he didn't know this person's temper, and said with a smile: "You guys are not bad, I heard that you came back a month ago, and you are all in the imperial capital, and you didn't even come to see me, it's really not enough friends." ”

"If we weren't friends enough, we wouldn't be here today, but you, now that you know, won't come over." Hines smiled and lied and didn't make a draft.

The two exchanged a few words, and before they could get to the point, an attendant came to report that the third prince, the fifth prince and Princess Alice were here.

Alex smiled slightly, and his expression was much colder, but he was not rude and asked them to come over.

The third prince, the fifth prince and Princess Alice are all from the current step-queen, and they are not close to Alex, the brother born by the first queen, and now they suddenly came, and they don't have to think about it to know why, obviously they heard that the Holy Son is here, and they came here.

Although Alex is the first heir to the throne, the prince who doesn't want to be the king is not a good prince, the third prince and the fifth prince have ideas about that son, and those who can win over are not stingy to woo, especially the Temple of Light, which has always been able to affect the succession to the throne. Therefore, after learning that the Holy Son of the Temple of Light was coming, he naturally would not give up this opportunity.

"Second brother, the Holy Son of the Temple didn't tell us when he came, which caused us to lose our welcome." The third prince said with a smile.

The fifth prince and Princess Alice all smiled sweetly at Alex and called "Second Brother", and subconsciously went to search for the figure of the Holy Son of the Temple of Light, there were three people in the room, in addition to Alex, there were two strangers, and these two strangers ......

When they saw the appearance of the two of them clearly, all three of them were a little surprised.

Hines's appearance is also blessed with handsomeness, full of manly masculinity, especially his handsome and sunny smile, and his heroic and righteous body, which is easy to make people feel good. Whether it is appearance or temperament, standing in front of this group of princes, not only did not lose color, but was slightly better.

Looking at another person, he sat there quietly, his expression was cold, his temperament was like frost, just a glance, it made people stunned, amazed by his exquisite and perfect appearance, and confused by the breath as distant as a cloud, but after looking at it for a long time, there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy, very contradictory.

It's just that no matter how contradictory it is, such an outstanding skin still stunned the three of them, and in the end, the fifth prince and Princess Alice both blushed.

Hines narrowed his eyes slightly and gracefully made a noble salute.

Jian Lu was still cold and indifferent, saluting elegantly and calmly, without a single superfluous word

The three of them were also busy returning the salute, and the third prince was a little more thoughtful, knowing that Hines was a paladin of the temple, and immediately became a little enthusiastic.

"It turns out that the Holy Son looks like this......" Princess Alice whispered to the fifth prince as she looked at Jian Lu.

The fifth prince has always liked men, raised a lot of male pets, and was also impressed by the appearance of the Holy Son, but he also knew that the Holy Son was not those male pets, but he couldn't help but pull him into bed, but the more he looked at it, the more he was moved, and he couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

Just when his eyes were glued to the Holy Son, he suddenly felt a little chill in his body inexplicably, shivered, couldn't help but look around, didn't find anything unusual, and turned his attention to the Holy Son again, but he didn't want to meet a pair of light amber eyes this time, light and light, without the slightest emotion.

Jian Lu naturally also discovered the thoughts of the fifth prince, in the past, he would not think that there were men who had no part in his thoughts, and he was very slow in this regard, until Hines shattered his three views with his actions, and began to be sensitive to this aspect. Therefore, at the first time, he noticed the strangeness of the third prince, and when he saw that Hines was jealous, he didn't see it when he shot at the third prince.

Although he was shattered by Hines, he didn't think that he would be happy to be raped by a man as a male pet, which was very disgusting.

Therefore, when no one found out, the fifth prince was directly hacked by Hines, who was talking and laughing with the third prince.

Alex naturally knew the virtues of his brothers, and after saying a few words, he sent them out.

Before leaving, Princess Alice smiled very cutely and said, "I hope to see you at the ball later, Your Excellency the Son." ”

Jian Lu bowed slightly.

Princess Alice left happily, her innocent smiling face and cute appearance made people think that this was a very cute little princess, and she couldn't complain that she would be so favored by the king of the Edith Empire.

After the three siblings left, the three of them continued to talk again as if nothing had happened, and the conversation quickly turned to Amelia.

"I don't know where Amelia is now, I hope she returns safely." Alex is very worried about his fiancée, even though his fiancée is a high-level magician, he is still worried about what will hurt her in the course of her mission, because of the protection that men give to women.

"Don't worry, the Temple of Light has also sent a few paladins to protect her." Hines has a gentle voice and a melodious tone, which can soothe people's hearts lightly.

Alex's look was much better.

After another exchange, under the guidance of Hines, Jian Lu also got what he wanted.

Although it was a marriage of divine power and royal power, Alex was really sincere to Amelia, and he has been guarding her until now - this is also the reason why Jane Lu and Hines secretly attacked, and it was enough to not have a bunch of mistresses and a dozen illegitimate children born to his wife before he even entered the door like other nobles or princes.

After chatting for a while, a maid came over to inform them that the ball had begun.

Princess Alice's birthday ball was held in the main hall, and the guests who came were all noble people.

Princess Alice is dressed very beautifully today, although she is only fifteen years old, but the Westerners are precocious, and the fifteen-year-old girl is very proud, wearing a special off-the-shoulder evening dress made by the court, embellished with expensive gems, and becoming the most dazzling woman at the ball.

The king took his beloved little daughter by his hand, followed by the queen and several princes, receiving blessings and congratulatory gifts from the crowd.

Jian Lu looked at it and found that he hadn't seen the eldest prince Grantham, so he couldn't help but think a little more, thinking that he might be with the heroine now.

Jian Lu presented a birthday gift to Princess Alice on behalf of the Temple of Light, and when the court chief sang out the Temple of Light, everyone looked over excitedly, wanting to see the face of the Holy Son of the Temple of Light, and when they saw the silver-moon-haired young man who slowly walked over, they were all stunned.

Even the kings and queens of the Edith Empire lost their minds.

Jian Lu calmly led Hines with a gift in his hand, stepped forward, saluted the king, said words of blessing, and took Princess Alice's hand and kissed her hand according to the rules.

When he kissed the hand, Jian Lu felt the murderous aura behind him, knew what it was, and ignored it.

"May the princess be beautiful forever." Jian Lu said.

Princess Alice's face was a little red, she looked at him shyly, her heart was beating very fast, especially when she was stared at by those light-colored eyes, as if she was his world, he could only see her alone, held her in the palm of his hand, and lightly fell into the love net he made up.

"Thank you, Holy Son." Princess Alice blushed and her heart skipped a beat, but she still returned the salute with grace and grace.

Jian Lu completed the task, then stepped aside and let the people behind him pay tribute.

The gaze of someone behind him was so hot that it almost burned a hole in his clothes. Jian Lu's face twitched a little, but thinking of this public, he didn't dare to come nonsense, and he calmed down again.

Soon the ball began, and after the king and princess Alice had led the first dance, the king and queen stepped aside, leaving room for the young men.

Princess Alice, the third prince, and the fifth prince came to Jian Lu.

"Holy Son, can I dance with you?" Princess Alice looked at the silver-moon-haired young man in front of her softly, and fell in love with him, admiring his perfect appearance, his unique temperament, and his attentive gaze.

Princess Alice feels that she has finally found the man she has fallen in love with all her life, and she falls in love with the Son of the Temple of Light at first sight.

Jian Lu: "......"

Jian Lu originally wanted to refuse euphemistically, but when he felt the gaze behind him that was about to materialize, he nodded and agreed, "This is my honor." ”

When Jian Lu led Princess Alice onto the dance floor, the third prince held a glass of wine and stood in front of Hines.

"Mr. Stukart is the patron paladin of the Son?"

Hines lowered his eyelids, combed his golden bangs back, leaving only a few locks in front of his forehead, which made his forehead fuller, his sword eyebrows slender and handsome, and the well-cut dress modified his long and straight body, which was perfect for men, making men jealous and women admiring. Since the beginning of the ball, many noble women have already turned their eyes on him, hoping that he will invite him to do a dance.

The third prince looked at it secretly, and felt more and more in his heart that this guardian paladin was not simple, and even higher than the strength of those paladins in the Templar Knights. How could such a person follow the Holy Son and only be a guardian paladin?

"Yes." Hines said gently, looking handsome.

"With Mr. Stukat's strength, there is a bit of condescension, although His Royal Highness the Holy Son is good, but ......" The third prince smiled and did not finish his words, but the listener could already understand.

Hines had an amiable smile on his face, a pair of azure eyes were dull, and the third prince went back and forth, and the two clinked glasses and drank until the two glasses of wine were finished, and the music of the ball had changed.

The end of a song.

At this time, Hines suddenly said, "I'm sorry, I took a step away beforehand." ”

With that, he strode onto the dance floor and came to Jian Lu's side.

Princess Alice was shyly inviting Jian Lu, "Is the Holy Son free tomorrow?" There's an auction in Cabe City tomorrow......"

"I'm sorry Princess, he's not available."

A slightly muffled voice interjected. Came in, interrupting Princess Alice.

Princess Alice was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the man who suddenly came in front of her, and recognized him as the paladin of the Holy Son, she felt that his move was a little inappropriate, and saw that he suddenly smiled at her very gently.

"Princess Alice, excuse me, I have something to do with the Holy Son." Hines said to Alice, but his eyes were fixed on the young man in front of him.

Looking at the pair of dark blue eyes brewing with a storm, Jian Lu frowned slightly, his intuition was a little bad, and in Princess Alice's puzzled gaze, he said lightly: "Princess Alice, it's lost." ”

Although Princess Alice was reluctant, it was not good to keep him any longer, so she could only reluctantly watch the two leave the ball.
