Chapter 235: The Purple Carpet
Alice wore a purple dress again, and it was Scarlett's favorite style for 5,000 years: a deep V-neckline, narrow shoulders, a fluffy and flowing skirt, and a bow ribbon tied at the waist behind her. Her long blonde hair, neatly draped under a delicate half-moon hairnet. The beautiful face was cold and noble, and the green eyes were burning - this time, the situation in the Purple Blossom Palace would not be repeated. Purple? Is she not suitable? She is a noble light source saint messenger, and she can wear dresses of any color! This time, she won't panic.
It's just that from the moment she stepped into the corridor of the side hall, Alice really realized that this time, the situation in the Purple Blossom Palace would indeed not be repeated. This time, it's a different story.
The straight corridor, the purple carpet, is a purple robe. The robes were skillfully covered with a straight corridor. The sleeves of each robe are wrapped around in the shape of a flower. Between each other, where the robes overlapped, silver runes were faintly visible. These runes are to make the robe spread firmly on the dark crystal floor of the corridor, and it will not be deformed due to force and friction.
Alice stared at the purple "carpet" on the corridor, stopping at the entrance of the corridor, a pair of slender eyebrows raised, and her expression became colder and colder.
Mu Bai, who was leading the way in front, took a few steps forward, and found Alice standing behind him, so he quickly retreated to the side and waited quietly. What he feared had finally happened—the purple robes had been transported to Castle Black before Alice and her party had arrived at Castle Black. When Grand Duke Ivan ordered the purple robe to be used as a carpet and spread out to the side hall of the lunch, the butler of Mubai felt that it was inappropriate--- such an act was tantamount to an insult to the holy messenger.
"The purple carpet on the promenade is really chic." The corners of Alice's mouth curled, and she said with a smile: "The mind of Grand Duke Ivan, Alice understands it, and she must remember it in her heart." ”
Mu Bai's butler looked respectful and said, "The Grand Duke said that as long as the Holy Messenger likes it, it will be fine." This sentence was written by Ivan Dabus. Butler Mu Bai thought to himself: "Grand Duke Ivan actually guessed Alice's reaction. ”
Butler Mubai only glanced at Alice, and his eyes drooped slightly respectfully. He thought to himself, from the time of the Purple Blossom Palace to the present, that is, about a hundred days, the Holy Envoy seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, and he was able to control his mind like this.
There were less than 10 people dining, and the side hall where lunch was arranged was not large, but it was also very spacious.
A purple carpet stretches to the rectangular black crystal dining table. At the dining table, the purple robes were very well laid out into an oval carpet, and the dining table and the high-backed chairs around the table were on the purple carpet.
Entering the side hall from the corridor, Alice's expression became more and more cold, and her heart was displeased.
Since becoming the Holy Messenger of the Light Source, who hasn't been respectful to her? Even Emperor Eric and Empress Tribiss were very polite, except for one person, and that was Archduke Ivan.
When he was in the temple, the clerk told Alice that the Holy Messenger's tour of the Seven Continents was the most solemn ceremony for the Heavenly Kingdom to welcome the Holy Messenger, and it was as grand as the Holy Messenger's stay in the Temple. On Daphne Island, Emperor Eric announced in public: Finding the clue to the maze diagram, she, Alice, the Holy Messenger of the Light Source, has made a great contribution. The pilgrimage to the Far South and the Far North, the respect or flattery of the Earls of the Protoss, all made Alice feel satisfied. This satisfaction and comfort can compensate for the pain of losing her sense of taste, touch and smell, and can make up for the pain of her inability to perceive the outside world or even her own body. This kind of satisfaction and comfort makes her feel that her existence still has meaning, and makes her feel that her life still has meaning.
But Grand Duke Ivan's actions made Alice very dissatisfied and very uncomfortable.
When they first arrived in Heaven, Wen Ying and Alice parted ways in the Holy Square, and Alice became the Holy Messenger of the Light Source. After that, Grand Duke Ivan sent mountains of purple cloth to Alice at the Purple Blossom Palace. Of course, no one would mention it in front of Alice---, it doesn't mean that Alice doesn't know --- purple fabrics are mocking and disdainful.
Alice, on the other hand, ordered people to make purple robes from those mountains of purple fabrics, and gave all those purple robes to the Earls of the Protoss in Ameriken when the Holy Messenger visited the Seven Continents Continent of Ameriken. Three hundred and sixty-five purple robes of various styles were specially made and given to Grand Duke Ivan.
Since Scarlett's death, everyone in the heavenly kingdom knows that Grand Duke Ivan is the most taboo for someone to wear purple clothes in front of him, especially women, so that in front of Grand Duke Ivan, other Grand Dukes rarely wear purple robes, even the women of the Protoss, and even Grand Duke Erica, are very knowledgeable and will not wear purple clothes in front of Grand Duke Ivan. And in the continent of Amyriken, purple has been listed as a forbidden color, except for the Grand Duke Ivan, in the continent of Amyriken, no one dares to wear purple clothes.
Alice knew this, but she got thousands of purple robes. She was originally worried about the matter of the Purple Lotus Palace, and she intended to raise her eyebrows during the tour. But he didn't expect that Grand Duke Ivan's actions today were even worse than in the Purple Lotus Palace, and he actually spread the purple robe she sent as a carpet and let others trample on it.
Meiya and Thea, who followed behind Alice, looked at each other in a sight that was completely beyond their expectations—they had thought that Grand Duke Ivan would at most tear these purple robes to shreds.
Thea has a docile temperament and a kind heart. At the Purple Blossom Palace that day, she didn't approve of Alice's imitation of Scarlett. Later, she wondered about Alice's move to make a long robe from purple fabric. When she learned of Alice's intentions yesterday, she suddenly became worried. Under the temptation of words, Thea did not dare to disobey Alice's intentions, but she was very worried in her heart.
At this moment, Thea's heart was more uneasy and frightened than angry. She thought to herself, "Although the Holy Messenger is noble, he is not the true power holder of the kingdom of heaven. Fighting with Grand Duke Ivan, how did you win against Grand Duke Ivan? ”
The corners of Miya's mouth were already angry. Since following Alice, Miya has clearly known that as a lowly Terran slave, the only hope she can have to change her status and identity is Alice. From that day on, she had taken Alice's joy for her own joy and Alice's displeasure for her own displeasure.
At this moment, Meiya thought to herself: "Grand Duke Ivan actually spread the robe sent by the Holy Messenger into a carpet, doesn't that mean that in his eyes, the Holy Messenger can also be trampled on?" It's just that no matter how angry she is, she knows her identity, so she naturally doesn't dare to speak.
When she was seated, Alice didn't see Grand Duke Ivan--- Grand Duke Ivan actually "had something important to deal with", and no one appeared.
The absence of Grand Duke Ivan was more humiliating to Alice than the purple robe that had been rolled out into a purple carpet, and her displeasure had turned into anger. It's just that her expression is cold, and instead of showing anger on her face, there is a shallow smile.
It's just that the shallow smile slowly solidified. Alice saw a woman behind Grand Duke Litus--- beautiful face, a graceful figure, and a long green dress, extremely gorgeous. The woman was none other than the Marquis de Luquecia.
The Marquis of Luquecia followed behind the Grand Duke of Litus, took his seat, and sat beside the Grand Duke of Littles
Alice couldn't help but be stunned, but for a moment, the frozen smile melted again. The woman in front of her made Alice's originally extremely unhappy mood suddenly become bitter, because she quickly understood the reason why Marquis Luquecia was here: it was nothing more than another woman--- Wenying.
Because of Wen Ying, Grand Duke Litus ended his trip to O'Neill early and came to Amy Ricken. Because of Wen Ying, Grand Duke Litus summoned the Marquis of Luquecia.
There is another person, more dissatisfied and uncomfortable than Grand Duke Ivan, and this person is Wen Ying.
"Butler Mubai, I haven't seen Wen Ying for a long time." Alice smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said softly to Butler Mubai: "Please ask Butler Mubai to report to Grand Duke Ivan, saying that I miss Wen Ying very much and want to meet Wen Ying." ”
