Chapter 629: The Lord of the Simien Family
A majestic castle that stands quietly on top of a steep cliff. On the side of the cliff, there is an unfathomable abyss, shrouded in clouds and mist, mysterious and unpredictable. Standing at the bottom of the hill and looking up at this ancient castle, whoever you are, you will be amazed.
Located more than 30 kilometers from the city of Nagorno-Karabakh, the castle is one of the most intact medieval castles in the Eastern European country. The castle has always belonged to the Simien family. The owner of this castle represents the most powerful man in the whole country. The owner of this generation of castles is Princess Simien or Prince and Lady Simeon.
That is, Ajelina's biological mother.
The castle, which used to be quiet and majestic, is in the midst of extreme busyness this day, because today, a most distinguished guest has arrived. In order to welcome this guest, the servants of the castle made preparations for three days and three nights.
And that's not all, the most important thing is that this guest is "tsundere".
Because of the exact time of the welcome banquet, it was changed three times.
Her Royal Highness Princess Ajelina had been accompanying the distinguished guest outside, and was not sure exactly when the distinguished guest would arrive at the castle. The butler of the castle, Mr. Saxon, of aristocratic blood, had to prepare for dinner every day. Then, Her Royal Highness the princess called and said that Mr. Xiao may not have time today, so he can't come, so let's do it tomorrow.
Mr. Saxon did not know how important this Mr. Xiao was, only that he was from the East and was the favorite person of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
That's enough.
Perhaps, after thousands of years of inheritance, the Simion family will usher in a yellow-skinned master from the Eastern country. From now on, the purest bloodline of the Simien family. will be changed, the next generation of Prince Simeon. It will be possible to be a mixed race between East and West.
The thought of this struck Saxon as ridiculous.
How can this be?
The lineage of the Simien family is the most important.
Saxon believed that the princess would never agree to the princess making such nonsense. This is a matter of principle of major right and wrong. Today's young people are open-minded and like to make friends, that's nothing. But making friends and getting married are definitely two different things. The lineage of the Simien family cannot be destroyed by an Oriental. Unless. Her Royal Highness the Princess renounced the inheritance of the Simien family.
But that's even more unlikely.
Her Royal Highness Princess Ajelina is the only daughter of Her Royal Highness the Princess and the only legal heir of the Simien family. The princess would never pass the family on to anyone other than her daughter.
Therefore, the only feasible way is to prevent Her Royal Highness from continuing to associate with Mr. Xiao from the East. Although, Saxon also felt that the man who could be so favored by Her Royal Highness the princess must be very good and outstanding.
However, this is not a reason for the Simeon family lineage to be tarnished.
But. The princess's reaction was unexpected by Saxon. The princess did not object to the actions of Her Royal Highness the Princess, but asked Saxon to make the most elaborate preparations, and must not neglect this delicate guest from the East.
Saxon shook his head. While sighing, the dinner party was prepared according to the highest specifications.
Right now, a tranquil and majestic castle. There was already a soft light in the huge ballroom. The dinner is underway. The dinner was prepared for three days and three nights, and only three people attended.
Princess Simeon. Her Royal Highness Princess Ajelina, Mr. Xiao Fan!
Xiao Fan is not the first time to come back to the medieval castles in Europe, a few years ago, after he became an artist, he traveled to the rivers and lakes, went to Europe, and visited many ancient castles. But it was the first time that you had enjoyed a well-prepared dinner in the castle's huge ballroom.
The old walnut dining table was long enough to seat forty people at once; High in the dome, a huge chandelier hangs, and the candles are gentle. The glittering silver tableware is inlaid with large gemstones, making it look extremely exquisite and luxurious. Each dish is processed to the right level, and the costumed servants serve the dishes in fine silver utensils to the guests with courtesy.
Saxon stood respectfully behind Princess Simeon, watching with interest the guest from the Far East, as if waiting for him to come out of the West because he did not know the etiquette of Western dining.
However, it is clear that Mr. Saxon was disappointed, and from beginning to end, Xiao Fan appeared very calm, methodically tasting the food carefully prepared by the chef of the castle, without the slightest rudeness. Unlike Saxon, Xiao Fan's attention was focused on Princess Simien not far away.
Princess Simien is very beautiful, the charm of a mature woman, her graceful and luxurious bearing, coupled with her beautiful and delicate face, make Her Royal Highness the princess shine and captivate the country.
It also takes such a woman to give birth to a daughter like Ajelina.
There were hardly any markings, as long as they stood together, anyone could see that they were mother and daughter.
However, what really made Xiao Fan pay so much attention was not Princess Simien's appearance, nor her graceful bearing in every move, but the well-concealed aura fluctuations on her body.
Princess Simeon is a very strong master, there is no doubt about this.
Xiao Fan was sure that he would not be mistaken, and there would be no problem with the divine induction.
Moreover, Princess Simien is not a worldly martial arts master, it is clear that she is a cultivator. It's just that the spiritual power fluctuations on the princess's body are different from the spiritual power fluctuations emanating from the Eastern cultivators. Perhaps, Princess Simien is the inheritor of the kind of Western priests that Patriarch Qingyang said.
In the Sumeru space of the "Qiankun Ding", Patriarch Qingyang and Xiao Fan talked about the difference between Eastern monks and Western priests. As for the specific difference, Patriarch Qingyang didn't say it, and Xiao Fan didn't ask at that time. In fact, at that time, there were many more questions than that, and it would not be the turn of such questions for a while and a half.
The princess looked at Xiao Fan's gaze, also with interest, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and seemed to be quite satisfied with Xiao Fan.
Seeing her mother's expression like this, Ajelina's eyes lit up with excitement.
What she was most worried about was that her mother objected to her being with Xiao Fan, which was the most unacceptable to Ajelina. If her mother really objected, Ajelina would not hesitate to give up the inheritance of the Simion family and return to Huaxia Kingdom alone. Go and attach yourself to Xiao Fan.
In Ajelina's heart, Xiao Fan is her world. By no means a Simian family inheritance can be compared to it.
And now, the most important "level". It went by like this, without any obstacles. It seems that Xiao Fan's excellence can conquer anyone, and even the most important bloodline cannot be an obstacle.
During the whole dinner, Ajelina was the happiest.
The dinner did not last too long, and during the banquet, everyone adhered to the etiquette of the banquet, did not talk and talk, but ate quietly. Dessert after the meal. Princess Simeon stood up.
Xiao Fan and Ajelina hurriedly got up and looked at the princess.
The princess smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, you are welcome to my castle as a guest. I sincerely hope that one day in the future, you will become the owner of this castle. Of course, as long as Mr. Xiao wants to, you can become the owner of this castle at any time. My family and I wholeheartedly welcome Mr. Siu as a member of our family. ”
Ajelina's pretty face flushed, and her beautiful little face shone brightly. Excited.
She never thought that her mother would "promise" Xiao Fan to Xiao Fan at this time in front of her. Princess Simien made it clear to Xiao Fan that as long as he wanted. He will be the future master of the Simien family.
Xiao Fan bowed slightly, and replied with a smile: "Dear madam, Her Royal Highness Princess Ajelina is my friend. She's a good girl. ”
Princess Simien smiled lightly and nodded.
Ajelina couldn't help but hold Xiao Fan's hand. The delicate palms even ooze a little fragrant sweat.
Leave the banquet hall. Back in her room, the princess sat down slowly, picked up a cup of fragrant tea, took a shallow sip, and looked out of the balcony with blue eyes, the dark and deep night sky, delicate eyebrows, and frowned slightly.
On the old balcony, there seems to be a straight back standing upright.
The room was quiet, only the sound of the mountain wind blowing.
"Madame, have you really decided?"
I don't know how long it has been, but on the balcony, a very elegant baritone sounded, full of magnetic charm. With this voice, a middle-aged man slowly walked into the room from the balcony, with a long body and a graceful gesture.
Count Mikhail!
This gentleman, who stood on the balcony of Princess Simeon's room, with a handsome appearance and elegant manners, was none other than Mr. Mikhail, who was highly respected by Ji Qingsha. It can be seen that he and Princess Simien are very familiar with each other, so that they don't seem to shy away from each other at all.
Princess Simeon's seductive eyes swept lightly over Mikhail's face, sighed lightly, and said: "Why, isn't he the Oriental gentleman you admire the most?" You personally recommended my ......"
Mikhail also sighed softly and said: "In any case, we are deviant in doing this. No matter how good Mr. Xiao Fan is, he is an Oriental after all, and he does not have genes like ours. I'm not sure that his and Ajelina's descendants will be even better than we are now. ”
The princess frowned lightly and said, "Mr. Count, are you still the Mikhail I know?" As one of the most prominent elites of our race, when have you ever been so undecided? Mikhail, you should know how sinister the situation is at the moment. We really can't afford to hesitate any longer. Otherwise, there will be big problems not only for our race, but also for the whole of Europe, and even for the whole world. ”
Mikhail smiled bitterly and said: "I really didn't expect that one day, I would want to become a savior and save the whole world......"
Quite self-deprecating.
"Anyway, for now, Xiao Fan is the most worthy of our investment. At the very least, I'm sure his love for Ajelina is genuine. He had had many opportunities to bully Ajelina, but he didn't, and throughout, his cousin was very, very gentlemanly. Such a person is worth the bet we put on him. ”
The princess was not as sentimental as Mikhail, and said calmly, in a firm tone.
"Even if we don't want to bet on him now, I'm afraid there's no time to change our minds."
Mikhail sighed and said approvingly. (To be continued......)
