Chapter 483: Feast of Grace
Although Elena knew that the strength of the Belize family in the empire was definitely not under the Harruman family, since the family had already submitted a request to withdraw from the marriage, and was willing to bear all the consequences arising from it, no matter how reluctant the grandfather was, there was no way to do it.
You can't let yourself beg for nothing to keep the marriage contract with you, right?
After all, she is also the daughter of the three major families of the empire, if she is so cheeky and sticky to others, I am afraid that her family will also lose face.
"Miss, are you still worried about the affairs of Young Master Harrant?" Emily, the maid, offered a beautiful rose and asked with concern.
Elena nodded helplessly, "Yes, Master Hecubeldo has really given us a big problem, but compared to these, I am more worried about Brother Harrant's injury, it is said that he is very seriously injured, and it is very likely that he will be disabled for life, I want to go and see him, but..."
"But I'm afraid that now is not the time, I'm afraid that people will gossip, right?" Emily asked, empathetic.
Elena nodded noncommittally and paced into the back garden.
"Emily, are you saying this is Brother Harrant's doctrine?" Elena asked, looking back at Emily.
"How is that possible? Young Master Harant is infatuated with Miss, how could he bring up the matter of repentance? I guess most of it was the idea of Master Hekubeldo, right? Emily analyzed.
"However, Master Hecubeldo and Grandpa are close friends, and the relationship between the two families is so good, why would he object?" Elena frowned slightly. But I don't have a clue.
"Maybe there's something unspeakable? Even Lord Belém can't figure this out, maybe, time can clarify a little, right? Emily said.
'It would have been nice if Brother Halant hadn't been injured. Hey......" The girl's faint sigh made Emily's mood melancholy.
"Miss, maybe it's time for you to go out for a walk, tomorrow is the Holy Grace Festival in the imperial capital, and there will be a holy grace sacrifice at that time, there must be a lot of people and it will be very lively, let's go together, right?" Emily asked with a smile.
Elena thought for a moment. He nodded slightly.
The next day, on the Champs-Élysées, there was a lot of traffic. Continuous flow.
Although Elena grew up in the imperial capital, she rarely wandered the streets of the imperial capital because of her strict family education.
I only get a few opportunities to go out a year. I usually stay in the mansion.
Sit in a luxurious carriage. Looking at the bustling crowd on the street and all kinds of pedestrians, Elena's mood suddenly improved a lot.
"Huh? How can there be a portrait of me? Elena looked strangely at the wall outside a clothing store, drawing a portrait of herself, quite strangely.
Emily smiled slightly, "That's the clever store that made you a sign, remember when we came here last year to buy clothes?" At that time, the price of the clothes was originally 1,700 gold coins, but. Later, the merchant only accepted 500 gold coins from us, and asked the artist to paint a portrait of you. She's treating you like the star of her shop. ”
After listening to Emily's explanation, Elena suddenly laughed.
"Since I put your portrait in the store, her business in the store has been much better than before, and now many young girls in the imperial capital almost want to buy the long dress you bought last year." Emily said with a smile.
"How can it be so exaggerated?" Elena smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Miss, what I said is the truth, it's just that you don't go out of the mansion much on weekdays, so you don't know what is going on outside, do you know how the men in the imperial capital evaluate you in private?" Emily asked suddenly and mysteriously.
"A man in the imperial capital? I haven't seen a few, how do I know? Elena blinked her big beautiful eyes and shook her head.
"A few days ago, I heard from the leader of a mercenary union that the mercenaries of the imperial capital once conducted a private survey to select the ten most beautiful beauties in the imperial capital, Shangri-La's signature female star Monroe ranked third, and Princess Diana was ranked second, do you know who the first place is?" Emily asked mysteriously.
"Wouldn't it? Why is Princess Diana such a beautiful woman only in second place? Elena asked curiously.
"Hehe, because the beauty of the first place is even more beautiful than the Diana throne." Emily smiled playfully.
"Who could that be? Is it the Vivian sacrifice of the Holy See of Light? Elena asked curiously.
"No, no, Vivien's sacrifice is in fourth place."
"That's the auction house's chief auctioneer, Liya?" Elena asked again.
"No, Liya is in fifth place." Emily shook her head again.
Jade Tooth bit her red lip lightly, thought for a while, and shook her head lightly with a hint of doubt in her beautiful eyes, "I can't guess, who will it be?" ”
Emily smiled mysteriously, stretched out her finger at Elena and smiled, "Of course it's you, Miss." ”
Hearing this, Elena's pretty face flushed slightly, her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she stared at Emily resentfully, "Emily, don't mess around, how can it be me?" I don't usually go out, how can others know about me? ”
"Hehe, although Miss doesn't usually go out of the mansion, but you have already become famous, as long as you are mentioned in the imperial capital, almost no one knows you, do you know what the men in the imperial capital call you in private?" Emily asked with a smile.
"What?"
"To call you an angelic goddess, and to compare you to the flower of the imperial capital, is an honor that even Princess Diana has not received." Emily said proudly.
Listening to Emily's radiant explanation, Elena's pretty face appeared a delicate crimson, and the girl's shyness couldn't help but be revealed.
"If it weren't for Miss's status being so high, perhaps, the gate of our mansion would have been crushed by the sons and daughters of the imperial capital, and there are so many noble sons who love Miss, but there are very few people who really dare to kiss, and this is all because Young Master Harrant of the Belize family has a marriage contract with Miss." Emily said with a light sigh.
"Alright, Emily, don't talk about it again." Elena pursed her ruddy lips slightly, and looked through the clear car window at the bustling street market.
The horse-drawn carriage travels along the bustling Champs-Élysées, through the bustling streets, along the turquoise waters of the Seine to the west, and soon after, the Eiffel Tower, which stands 327 meters high and offers a panoramic view of almost the entire Français city, making it the tallest landmark in the imperial capital.
Every year, people who visit the imperial capital almost always go to the Eiffel Tower to see the scenery and take pictures, so the Seine is also the place where the most painters are produced.
The car continued to move forward, and gradually, the road ahead became wider and wider, and the road surface became more and more tidy, and the pavement paved with white marble was as smooth as a white mirror, which was enough to show the reflection of people.
The carriage came to a slow stop at the junction of white marble and marble pavement.
Because in front of it is the most famous San Marino Cathedral in the imperial capital, and this square with tens of thousands of square meters paved with white marble is the most famous victory square in front of San Marino Cathedral.
Since today is the Day of Grace, there are many people who come to the church to listen to the sermon and pray for blessings, and the flow of people in the square is no less than that of the troubled street market.
Elena, accompanied by Emily, came to the Victory Square together, and looked at the statue of the Virgin in the center of the square, sacred and dignified.
In the sunlight, the appearance of sincere prayer and the nuanced expression are vividly expressed.
While admiring the statue of the Holy Maiden, Elena couldn't help but sigh that the sculptor's ingenuity could bring his imagination to such a beautiful realm was really shocking.
The two of them walked through the square, entered the church together, walked through the solemn hall, and came to the statue of the Virgin, the solemn Virgin, so that every believer who came to her feet had to look up to her majesty with the most reverent mind.
"Miss, pray, the prayer of the Feast of Grace is the easiest to convey to God." Emily took Elena's gorgeous coat and stood aside to remind.
Elena nodded lightly, knelt down in front of the icon, folded her hands in front of her chest, bowed her eyebrows, closed her eyes, and prayed silently: "Holy Mother, may your name be exalted, may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as in heaven, give us our daily bread today, forgive us our sins, as we forgive others, do not let us fall into temptation, but save us from evil......"
After the prayer, Elena did not get up, and after a moment of silence, Elena couldn't help but whisper: "May Brother Harrant recover soon, and may he be happy all his life..."
After praying, Elena's pretty face flushed with a faint flush, and then she slowly opened her eyes, and stood up with Emily's support.
"Miss, what are you praying for? This time it seems to be a lot longer than before, right? The sensitive Emily asked with a smile.
Elena smiled and shook her head, "Nothing. ”
After saying that, ignoring Emily's curious eyes, he walked away straight ahead.
As soon as Elena left the church, her eyes suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd, although she hadn't seen the boy for a while, but she still recognized it at a glance.
The man's tall figure, handsome appearance, and the white bandage wrapped around his left hand all stimulated Elena's heart, making her breathing slightly shorter. (To be continued......)
