Chapter 189: High Profile
As planned, it was time for a dinner party in the palace again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info I walked around the banquet hall as if I were a normal guest. After all, I already knew what was going to happen on this day, so I didn't pay much attention.
At this moment, a little maid with a plate was walking quickly through the venue, and suddenly the soles of her feet slipped, and her whole body began to lose balance, and she was about to fall to the ground.
To be honest, I've watched this scene no less than five times, but because the purpose of coming here this time is different from before, I held her at the moment before she landed, and at the same time grabbed the plate that flew out in my hand, but the little maid's body still inevitably hit the corner of the table, although there was no major accident, but the table still shook slightly, and moved a short distance to the side with a "time". The harsh sound drew the eyes of the surrounding guests to us.
The little maid gave me a grateful look as she stood still, and her face flushed all at once. She quickly let go of her grip on the hem of my shirt and stood up from the ground in a panic, looking a little helpless.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
"It's okay...... the little maid waved her hand and bowed to me. At this time, the old manager named Jack also saw the accident that happened here, he hurriedly walked over, bowed to me, and said apologetically: "This young master can't help it, she is always careless, and she has caused you trouble." β
"It doesn't matter." I nodded to the old steward, and then moved to the side. At this time, Kona had already arrived from the princess's room. I looked around cautiously and asked in a low voice, "How are you doing there?" β
Kona whispered, "As before, nothing out of the ordinary...... It's you, are you ready? β
I took a deep breath, and my heart couldn't help but speed up a little, but I didn't expect to be a little nervous. Although I finally agreed to Lord Sharon's plan after a heated discussion yesterday, I really don't know how to implement it.
After all, this kind of thing really doesn't fit my character, and it's public...... While I was a little entangled, the princess came to the banquet hall surrounded by a group of noble ladies, and her expression was a little gloomy, and she did not seem to be pleased. Then it was the familiar process, and Lord Sharon greeted the guests present.
Since I was in a more obvious position this time, she also came to me. Lord Sharon looked up at me, slightly stunned, and then forced a smile on his face: "Who are you?" Why don't I look like I've seen you? β
I looked at her nervously and said, "You...... Your eyes are beautiful, like gemstones. β
Lord Sharon was slightly stunned, then looked up at me again, and smiled, "Really? Thank you for the compliment. Then she nodded to me and prepared to go somewhere else.
"Wait a minute!" I stopped her, and Master Sharon turned her head to look at me strangely.
"Your Royal Highness, it's a pleasure to meet you." I held out my right hand to her. Lord Sharon hesitated slightly, but finally walked over to me, holding out his hand again.
The moment I grabbed Lord Sharon's hand, I suddenly used a force that caused her whole body to lose balance and throw herself into my arms.
I reached out and put my arms around her, but my heart was a little hairy. Because it's not hard to imagine what kind of treatment I'd have had if this were Lord Sharon three hundred years later. But fortunately, she is still a soft girl, at least so far.
The princess was visibly flustered by my bold move. She quickly pushed me away, looked at me with a shocked face, and asked, "What are you doing here?" Her voice clearly caught the attention of the others as well, and the guards immediately realized what was happening and rushed over to take me down. I didn't do anything, I let the guards take me down, and just looked at Lord Sharon. There was panic, panic, disappointment and embarrassment in her eyes, but there was also a faint trace of doubt and confusion.
After I was imprisoned in my cell, I couldn't help but sort out the events of the day in my mind. Didn't I expect things to turn out the way they are? Even though it would be less than two hours before I would be back two days ago, I still feel uncomfortable being held in such a dark, damp place. Now I am in a very good physical condition, so I know that this discomfort is actually psychological. After all, the experiences I had when I was imprisoned in the dungeons of the Duchy of Salander were so impressive that they became a shadow of my life.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile wryly and shook my head: What do you want to do after so long of things? It's just a matter of annoyance. Anyway, everything there has nothing to do with me anymore. Isn't there something more important to do right now?
When Lord Sharon mentioned the day before that she wanted me to flirt with the princess at the dinner party, I was still very resistant to it, and I really didn't understand her purpose in asking me to do it. After all, the princess is herself, to put it bluntly? Who in this world likes to bully themselves?
Lord Sharon glanced at me with a somewhat complicated expression. She said slowly, "Don't you understand? Everything we went through happened under the premise that I had an intersection with you, but to make it to dinner day, the history of what I should have met with you would have been rewritten. So we can only create the opportunity for you and the princess to meet. But on the day of the dinner, there were so many people that you didn't have a chance to contact me three hundred years ago except at the banquet. So we can only attract the princess's attention to you in more extreme ways, and this is the last thing that the forces that stand in our way want to see. But at that time, I was probably absent-minded all day! Without this way, we simply won't achieve the results we want. β
So what we got was that I was in a prison cell?
I feel a little helpless, and it seems that I can only wait for the situation on Kona's side to see if there are any new developments.
Soon, twelve o'clock in the middle of the night passed again. Everything is back to the way it was before. I hurried to meet up with Cona and Lord Sharon, and after the meeting, I asked Cona, "How was the banquet after that?" β
Kona said: "The princess's performance is quite normal, and the king has successfully confirmed the princess's fiancΓ©, but I don't know why, I always feel weird, how to say it?" I just feel that the atmosphere today seems to be different from before, but I can't say what is different for a while, I just feel that something is wrong. β
"Is this the effect of your forced contact with me?" Lord Sharon had a thoughtful expression, and then she suddenly looked up at me and said, "Tomorrow you will go to the utility room to see the princess as it has happened in history." Don't be too deliberate, just let it be. Since you and the princess are the ones being targeted, the whereabouts of the two of you must be being watched at all times. Perhaps we can find out what their true purpose is. β
