Chapter 20

The roses in the garden were as bright as blood, and the clusters were in full bloom, the petals were stacked on top of each other, and they were all gorgeous and coquettish, and with the breeze blowing, a refreshing fragrance of flowers came to her face, and in Dolores's vague memory, she seemed to have seen this flower to the extreme, but she could not remember when or where she saw it.

The flowers have budding buds standing proudly on the branches, against the backdrop of green leaves, it is like a pure girl with her hands on her cheeks, unconsciously blooming her beauty, the only creature left over from the ancient earth is extremely precious, but for Roderick, it is not as good as a smile of Dolores, pinching off the most gorgeous red rose on the branch, Roderick handed it to Dolores, the handsome face showed a rare shyness, and disappeared in just an instant, almost making people mistakenly think that they were dazzled.

"Don't like it?" Roderick tried to put his voice in the gentlest voice, his voice had a cold metallic texture, slightly low, but full of masculine charm, at this time put his voice into a low state, there was an almost murmuring ambiguous tenderness.

"Thank you." Dolores said softly, her soft, shallow eyes were very clear, and it was clear that she was not attracted to Roderick's charm.

Roderick smiled, his little girl was obviously not deeply involved in the world, and he didn't mind letting her never grow up, his silver eyes were full of smiles, melting the cold aura on his body, and he paid extra attention to controlling his mental power, Roderick made himself look like a friendly big brother: "If you like it, this garden of red roses will belong to you." โ€

Dolores gently shook the red rose she held in her right hand, and said softly, "I only need this one, but I am very grateful to you, Your Highness." โ€

Roderick frowned, his tall body bent down, and he half-knelt in front of Dorores, even in this humble posture for him, Roderick still unconsciously exuded the majesty of the superior, noticing that the look in Dorores' eyes was a little panicked, he smiled again, held her hand, and whispered: "Call me Roderick, I like your sweet voice calling this name." โ€

Who would dare to say that Roderick can't talk sweetly! It's just a matter of whether he wants to, as now, he says beautiful love words in a low and slightly dull voice, you can not be moved, but it is difficult not to be emotional, Rose Cong, a handsome man half kneeling in front of you, he has dazzling blonde hair, charming silver eyes staring at you intently, creating this atmosphere, so that Dolores, who doesn't know what love is, can't help but blush her cheeks, and her heart beats faster.

"Your Highness Roderick, are you okay to get up?" Dolores looked at Roderick in confusion, embarrassed by his actions.

"Remove the word "Your Highness" and I'll get up." Roderick smiled slyly, which made him look a lot younger, although he was not very old, he had just celebrated his fifty-third birthday, especially in this interstellar where the average life expectancy could reach four hundred years old, he could even be said to be young, but the powerful aura on his body often made people ignore this fact.

"Roderick." The delicate lips like flowers closed together, and Dolores had a hint of reluctance, and this reluctance made her habitually suppress it in the bottom of her heart.

Standing up in a chic manner, Roderick's sharp gaze became extraordinarily soft under this delicate and soft voice, like a pool of spring and water, and the hand holding Dolores never let go, even under Selena's unkind gaze, he still smiled calmly: "Do you want to go into the flowers to enjoy these beautiful flowers?" โ€

Roderick's status gives him an advantage that others do not have, he is the first in line to the throne of the empire, and he will be the ruler of this huge empire in the future, even Selena, who is a woman, cannot offend this noble highness.

"Your Highness, the wind is blowing, can I take Doloris back?" The wind at night was cooler than during the day, a treat for Selena, but a cruel punishment for Dolores.

"Is it cold?" Roderick's good-looking brows furrowed, and his free left hand caressed Dorores's bare and exposed shoulders, her fair and delicate skin did not decrease much temperature because of the storage of the flame stone, but Doroelis still couldn't bear the tingling sensation of the wind blowing on her body.

Unbuttoned her shirt with one hand, took off her snow-white uniform and draped it on Dolores's body, the wide clothes wrapped Dolores's slender and petite body, which made her more vulnerable, Roderick's eyes became a little deep, a man saw a woman who made himself possessive wearing his own clothes, especially this solemn military uniform with forbiddenness, desire, and feeling It is difficult not to have primitive impulses, Roderick is of course no exception, let the strong self-control suppress the desire in his heart, Roderick agreed with Selena without hesitation.

"Won't Your Highness go back with us?" Selena looked at Roderick with a smirk, her gaze rolling around his lower half with a hint of mockery.

Roderick's face darkened, he turned his back, his suppressed voice with a hint of warning, and gritted his teeth: "I'm admiring the red rose for a while." โ€

Selena laughed out loud, "Okay! Then you're blowing the cold wind for a while! โ€

Asa took off his coat and gave him back the uniform with Roderick's mark on Dolores, and the same wide clothes were draped over Dolores's body, which made Asa look much more pleasing to the eye, and did not hesitate to leave the garden with Dolores in his arms, he had no interest in staying and admiring the self-deprecation of a prince.

General Andrea's place of communion was moved to another hall after arriving at the Palazzo de Sรฉveil, and the arrival of His Majesty William VIII set off a third โ–กโ–ก for the banquet, and the charismatic Majesty apparently knew about Doloris's existence.

"My old friend, where is the darling of creation, the world, and God? Didn't you say that you were willing to bring her out today? His Majesty William VIII laughed and asked, he had personally hugged the beautiful little cutie who made people involuntarily feel pity when Doloris was a child, and it was obvious that his old friend Berdwin was a stingy fellow, and even he was on guard.

"Your Majesty, Roderick has taken Miss Andrea to the garden to admire the red roses." Gothshu said with a smile, bending down and making an elegant court salute.

His Majesty William VIII looked a little surprised, his son, who he thought was destined to be single for the rest of his life, would take a girl to the garden, was it the creation, the world, and God's eyes? It's an incredible thing that a woman touched Roderick, could it be that Creation, the world, and God heard his prayers?

"Goteshu, which Miss Andrea is it?" His Majesty William VIII asked curiously, "Is it Selena?" โ€

General Andrea and his wife looked at Gote Shu equally nervously, although Selena is also beautiful, but in front of Dorores, a single beauty will look bleak, and obviously, Dolores is more likely to arouse male possessiveness and desire, if they knew earlier that His Royal Highness Roderick would also come, they would never choose to bring Dolores out on this occasion, which bastard told them that His Royal Highness Roderick was still in the military department.

The corners of Goteshu's eyes twitched, I don't know how his uncle could think of Selena, although she is also a beautiful and moving woman, but obviously this beauty can't get into Roderick's eyes, if he likes Selena, he won't be single for so long, and he hasn't even participated in a woman's coming-of-age ceremony.

"Your Majesty, it's Miss Dolores." Thinking of that weak little girl, Goteshu's voice involuntarily softened.

His Majesty William VIII's eyes widened, and then he laughed: "He really has a vision. After speaking, he patted General Andrea on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It seems that the Andrea family is going to have a beautiful young lady marry into the royal family after 1,600 years, which is really something worth celebrating." โ€

General Andrea looked a little helpless: "Your Majesty, your joke is really not funny at all. โ€

His Majesty William VIII looked at General Andrea with understanding, if he had a daughter, of course he would not be willing to let her marry so early, especially to marry a guy like Roderick, who has no love and interest, although he inherited his handsome appearance.

"My old friend, don't be so frustrated, I won't interfere with your decision, but if Roderick wants to pursue Dolores, I have to show my attitude as a father, I am very supportive." His Majesty William VIII said with a smile, love, what a wonderful thing, especially the process of pursuit, how many men it has charmed, obviously this still handsome Majesty Xiร  thought of his young time, oh, it was really vigorous, evocative and moving.

Hearing his love story from the mouth of His Majesty William VIII again, everyone present was obviously speechless, but they had to cheer on the scene, lest this Majesty continue to narrate endlessly and ruin the banquet.
