It's a pity that this time the plot only has a beginning, and there is no ending, and Lily hasn't thought about what to do with Brian for the time being. He has obviously been fascinated by Anna, for such a person, Lily does not want to make an effort to pull him back, even if the original owner has a genuine liking for him, she decides to sit on the sidelines, if the plot progresses to the future, she can get more clues, if she finds that Brian is not of much help to her mission, if he no longer comes to provoke herself, Lily will do whatever he wants, but if he dares to provoke herself again, and he does not help the plot, then she will find a way to kill him.

And if you find out later that the original owner's wish may still be to fight for Brian from Anna, when she is strong, she will keep Brian in captivity, which can be regarded as an indirect completion of the task.

During the prayer early the next morning, Lily did not speak to Brian much, and her unusual behavior caused Brian to look at her several times.

Archbishop Andrew's call for the ball that His Majesty the Emperor was going to hold for Archduke Arturi was soon up.

During this time, Arturi did not send anyone to give her any more gifts, and asked her out again, and although Lily wanted to inquire about Anna, she was not in a hurry because she thought that she would see Arturi again sooner or later at the ball.

The day before the ball, the Roman family had sent someone to the temple to pick her up and return to the family to clean up, apparently this time the Roman family also made an exception because of Lily's date with Arturi, and got the emperor's favor. Participating in this high-society ball, Lily had already promised Archbishop Andrew that she would attend the party as his female companion, so she explained the situation to the Roman family, and Count Roman sent jewelry in advance, and never sent anyone over.

Lily passed by in the carriage of Archbishop Andrew of the Temple, and Brian sat outside the carriage with Archbishop Andrew's guardian knight.

Archbishop Andrew of Cheli looked at Lily's simple dress today, she did not wear the complicated and complicated dress sent by the Roman family, but only wore a well-fitting white dress, showing her graceful posture. He didn't wear any dazzling jewelry. But a thick, long, millet curly hair was draped behind him. There is only a simple aquamarine forehead ornament on the forehead, and the gem reflects a dazzling luster under the light.

She is dressed up freshly and refreshingly, although it is too simple, but because of the simplicity of her clothes and jewelry. Only then did it bring out Lily's own temperament and the beautiful appearance of the original owner. Therefore, Andrew was a little dissatisfied with Lily's simple dress. But when I saw her, I didn't say anything about her outfit.

The carriage stopped in front of the manor for tonight's ball, and the guard on duty came forward to verify the identity of Archbishop Andrew. He quickly let go. At this time, night had fallen, the ball had not yet begun, and the garden in front of the castle was already full of lights, and many decorative moonstones were hung around it, and the stones reflected the light, illuminating the castle.

As the protagonist of this time, Grand Duke Arturi sat beside the emperor, and several princes were surrounded in the crowd.

It's just that the tall figure of the Grand Duke, even if he is surrounded by the crowd, he still stands out like a chicken, and when Lily takes Andrew's arm and enters the middle of the ball, his eyes suddenly fall on him.

As if sensing that someone was watching him, the Grand Duke turned his head very keenly, his originally lazy and cold expression quickly showed a smile after seeing Lily, he did not turn his head, but approached the emperor who was sitting next to him, and whispered something.

Lily couldn't hear him because he was so far away, but his eyes fell on her, and her back was a little creepy. Archbishop Andrew soon noticed this, and the smile on his face deepened, and he walked over with Lily, greeting the nobles who had come up to him to speak, and walking to the brightest stars of the ball.

As he got closer, Lily saw that Arturi was not wearing a serious and elegant white shirt like the previous two meetings, he was wearing an olive green hunting suit today, and his pale blonde hair was combed back by him, revealing a full heavenly court.

As Archbishop Andrew approached with Lily, he stood up, the uniform perfectly showing off his long legs and thin waist, and with a pair of leather boots under his feet, he walked towards Lily, and held out a hand:

"Ma'am, you're charming tonight." His palms are facing up, his fingers are slender and powerful, and under the bright light, you can faintly see the thin calluses that appear in the tiger's mouth between his fingers because of what he has been holding for many years.

Lily smiled at him and thanked him, put her fingers on his palm, Arturi smiled, Leng might as well suddenly withdraw his hand, his expression was reserved and a little careless, but his movements were as fast as a cheetah, Lily felt as if she was the prey he was targeting, instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but a few fingers were caught by him at once, he lowered his head and gently kissed the back of her hand.

Arturi didn't like people getting too close to him, so he offered to kiss Lily, which made everyone around him look a little surprised.

When his lips left the back of Lily's hand, he didn't let go of Lily's palm, but he grabbed Lily's hand, and before Lily could react, he stuffed her arm into his bent arm and grabbed it, and at the same time, the palm of her hand didn't let go, so that Lily couldn't struggle at all.

The domineering action of "......" seemed to be declaring sovereignty, which suddenly made Lily speechless, not only did she not react, but even Archbishop Andrew on the side was dumbfounded. Arturi's expression was no different, he seemed to think that it was natural to do so, although it was not uncommon for a lady to enter the arena with two male companions, and it was more aristocratic ladies who entered the castle with their husbands and sons in their arms, but because of the unique identity of the archbishop and this Grand Duke of Arturi, Lily suddenly became the focus of the field, and many people's envious eyes fell on her.

Archbishop Andrew was silent for a moment, then smiled gently, winked at Lily, and took the initiative to reach out and let Lily go:

"It's an honor to bring an adult's female companion, and sure enough, a young and beautiful girl is always suitable for a handsome gentleman." He praised the two of them without a trace, and Brian, who happened to be parked in the carriage and came in later, heard these words into his ears, and Brian's eyes flashed with a haze, and he quickly lowered his head again.

Taking advantage of the gap between Archbishop Andrew's greeting with the emperor, Arturi took Lily out of the crowd and sat down in a corner: "It's been a long time no see, ma'am, it seems that you are doing well these days." ”

A group of people in the distance saw the two hiding in the corner, looking like they wanted to come over but didn't dare, but they just turned their heads to stare at the two from time to time.

"Thank you for your concern, why didn't you see Mr. Leon today?" Lily wanted to inquire about Anna's whereabouts, but she didn't know how to open her mouth and let Arturi take the initiative to bring it up, she didn't want Arturi to see that she had any special purpose for Anna, so as not to cause trouble, she was trying to find an excuse to knock on the side, but as soon as she said this, Arturi's slender eyebrows suddenly raised:

"What? Shouldn't a lady express her thoughts about me before asking my housekeeper? His voice was a little softer, and there was a smile in his tone.

But this smiling word not only did not make people feel warm, but made people chill down the spine for no reason, Lily's back stood up, shook her head, and was pushed into the sofa in the corner by Arturi, her back hit the soft back of the sofa, she didn't have time to shout, Arturi had already supported the armrests on both sides of the sofa with both hands, trapping Lily between herself and the sofa.

His slender and tall body bent down, blocking the lights of the castle and the many eyes staring at Lily with his body, and his beautiful and delicate face was very close to Lily, and a few strands of hair hung down on his face, casting shadows on his deep features, and his eyes were like bottomless pools, deep and dark.

Maybe it's because he has the light on his back, his eyes that used to look blue are dark blue at this time, and when he is stared at, it brings people a great sense of oppression: "I didn't bring my butler tonight, maybe I don't think what you want to see is him, it should be another person, right?" ”

The end of Lily's nose is full of the breath on his body, he is so close, the temperature of his body seems to be felt without reaching out, her whole person is surrounded by his breath, the breath like a fresh lemon on Arturi's body seems to be everywhere, every breath, it seems to be more from the inside to the outside of his scent, let him say this, the heart first stopped two beats, and then beat wildly, Arturi's eyes with a kind of coldness that seemed to know everything, she was about to shake her head to deny, Behind the two of them, Andrew's voice rang out:

"I've always admired the demeanor of adults, and now I see it, kid, aren't you going to introduce it between me and adults?"

Arturi's eyes showed the unhappiness of being disturbed, his face was slightly gloomy, and the feeling of oppression brought by him suddenly dissipated a lot with his head turning movement, Lily breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to sit up straight, but he suddenly turned his head, Lily didn't expect him to turn his head, and when she reacted very quickly and fell back into the chair, his lips were already like brushes, gently removed from her forehead. (To be continued......)
