Chapter 30: The Betrothal

As the sun sets, the heat wave recedes.

At this time, it is the alternating time of day and night, and the sky is in a transitional state of half white and half black.

In the central square of the town, there are fewer pedestrians, and the stalls are starting to close and go home, and the shops are closing.

No merchant will choose to stay open late, because the townspeople have always maintained the habit of sunset.

This not only greatly reduces the workload of the town's security personnel to enforce the curfew, but also reduces the crime rate in the town.

Only on the edge of the town, a dismal tavern is still in business......

There are many reasons why it is called a town of peace.

"Hahaha, Peake, you have a lot of ideas, it's just a pity to give the old man your special cane. Ryder played with the noble cane and said disdainfully: "Their so-called noble cane is nothing special, except that the paint on the outside looks more advanced." ”

Pique took the cane, looked at it carefully, and said, "The pattern on the handle also needs some work, and there is really nothing unusual in other places." ”

"By the way, Peake, didn't you say in the morning that the blonde girl wouldn't be in town today? ”

Peake shook his head and said, "I was told by Agares, the hunter, but he didn't tell me the exact location, and I don't know where to look for her, but I always thought we'd meet again, just let it be." ”

"You don't know, perhaps, you need to pray to the gods. Ryder quipped boringly.

"Great god, I am your faithful devotee, please grant my wish to let me see that blonde girl!"

"Uh...... Peake, you seem to be stunned. Ryder scoffed at Peake's prayer, but then he couldn't speak.

I saw a white horse and a black horse walking side by side, a blonde boy sitting on the black horse, and a blonde girl sitting on the white horse.

The boy had a straight figure, bright eyes, a firm nose, thin lips, and a serious and upright face, and he was wearing a slim white short-sleeved gown with a slender silver sword at his waist, like a real knight.

The girl was dressed in a black dress, the long skirt dragged on the back of a white horse, the gilt belt was tightly tied at the waist, a black bow was tied in front of the chest, and the shoulders were draped with thick blonde hair, like a cloud lit by the sun. Horizontal velvet, the crooked eyes seem to be revealing a smile all the time, the pretty nose is round and fair, the small lips are slightly pursed, and from time to time they are provoked to the top, revealing the joy in her heart, which makes people want to laugh happily with her.

The young man is dressed in black and white, and the girl is dressed in white and black horse, and the two of them look like a perfect match.

Ryder looked at the blonde girl's eyes straight, and he only felt that he was afraid that the princess of the kingdom would be so beautiful.

Peake prayed, opened his eyes, and saw her appear in front of him on a white horse.

For a moment, he felt that the whole world was bright.

The burning heart began to beat violently.

The gods heard their prayers!

This time, time doesn't stand still.

Pique feels like his life is starting now.

"Pique, let's go, get out of the way. Ryder didn't know the blonde girl, but he recognized the blonde boy as the mayor's son, Pizza Goy, with a bright sword on his body, and Ryder didn't want to touch the bad luck, so he planned to pull Pique away.

He tugged Pique, but found that he couldn't pull at all, and Pique felt like he was nailed to the ground.

"Hello, beautiful princess!" Peake stood in front of the white horse, his eyes met her gaze, it was his princess, and he felt that his mission was to be with her.

In aristocratic etiquette, men are not allowed to keep their eyes on women's faces except for those who are in love or married.

Therefore, as a standard aristocrat, Hayser had only seen such a gaze once, and that was a month ago, and the owner of the gaze was still the blue-eyed young man in front of him.

She didn't think he was rude, on the contrary, she thought he looked sincere. That kind of gaze is not annoying.

And what kind of gaze is that, and that look reveals hope and joy.

The azure blue pupils seem to reflect a shallow pool, clear and bright.

The last time he was in the carriage, he looked at himself with such eyes for a whole hour, and of course she couldn't forget it.

"I'm not a princess. Hasjia recalled the bizarre encounter when he first came to Heping Town, and said with a smile, "I must have met you a month ago. ”

"Oh, you may not know my name yet. Peake realized that his gaze seemed to be a little presumptuous, his eyes dodged, his hands kept rubbing his trouser legs, and he actually began to tense, "I, my name is Peake, you may not know me, and I ...... I love you. ”

Swish!

The silver sword is unsheathed!

Peake only felt a faint chill rise from his neck.

The blonde boy on a white horse was holding a silver sword and pointing at Pique.

Ryder quickly got in front of Peake and shouted, "What are you going to do?"

"Pizza don't!" the blonde girl immediately stopped, "he didn't mean to offend me!"

"Hasjia, my young lady, don't you see that he is playing hooligan?" the blonde boy called Pisa glared angrily, but still did not forget the aristocratic etiquette that he had kept in mind, he put his silver sword back into the scabbard, and said to Peake: "In front of my fiancΓ©e, I forgive you for today's actions, and if you dare to appear in front of us next time, I will beat you into a pig's head!"

He said that, but he was thinking in his heart, he must kill this kid the next time they meet! This kind of thing is not easy to say in the street, not to mention that there is a beautiful girl next to him, and he can't be too violent.

Fiancee?

Peake blinked his eyes slowly, only to feel a rock suddenly appear in his chest, weighing down his heart.

He turned his gaze back to her.

With apologies in her tone, she said, "We're engaged." She raised her left hand slightly, spread her palm, and wore a bright engagement ring on her middle finger, a dazzling sparkling diamond set in a platinum ring, which was incomparably luxurious.

At this moment, Peake felt the world spinning, the whole world began to blur, and his blue eyes, which were like shallow pools, instantly lost their lustre, and seemed to be about to turn into a pool of black water.

Pique's mind was hit so hard that he began to go into a trance, so much so that the blonde girl and the blonde boy walked away, and he realized that his inner dream was shattered.

In the distance, the voice of the blond boy came: "Hasjia, a noble lady like you can't talk to this kind of person, do you see that imitation cane in his hand? This kind of person is very vain, thinking about how to climb high branches every day, you need to stay away from this kind of person, I met them in the town before, they also connived at donkeys to steal fruit from fruit vendors, if I hadn't arrived in time that day......"

"Peake, you're alright. Ryder stood beside Peake, not knowing what to say to comfort him.

I saw that Pique didn't say a word, silently lowered his head, as if he was asleep standing up.

"Hehehehehe!" Suddenly, Peake laughed sullenly, and then muttered: "I didn't fall asleep with fear when I met the timberwolves before, I thought you had become strong, but now you are like this for a woman, poor fellow!

"Pique, you ...... You!"

"What are you!" A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Peake's mouth, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice to Ryder: "Don't try to do anything to me, you know it's useless, by the way, don't call me Peake for the time being, please call me by my name - Zhu Tian!"
