2-103 Valentine's Day Ball
"His Majesty the Pope." Iroh and Four Four saluted the Pope at the same time.
The Pope's uninvited arrival made the researchers present could not help but put down their work, they had no obligation to salute the Pope, but out of respect, they would remain silent while the Pope spoke.
The current Pope, Andrea, is a disciple of the old Pope and is personally appointed by the Old Pope. She inherited the mantle of the old pope, inherited the consciousness of the old pope, and was ready to sacrifice for the Holy See and all mankind at any time.
Together, they resolved the Celestial Column and thwarted the conspiracy of the nations, so far, the Celestial Alignment only cost the Pope a terrible price, and their great sacrifice avoided countless serial catastrophes.
This sublime consciousness shines on everyone in the Templar, whether it's a paladin on a mission to maintain order outside the world, or a researcher who doesn't care about the world.
"Executor Four, no matter what, we are responsible for the paladins of the Templar See, they are willing to sacrifice everything for the Templar See, then we should respect their lives even more." Andrea said slowly to Fourfour, "Executor ZeroOne, this is the end of your mission here, and I won't allow you to provide any data here." The executor is four, and in the future, he will take more animals as samples for this kind of experiment. β
"Animals are different from humans, they will be distorted when they come into contact with this thing, and eventually they will turn into magical beasts with dragon blood, and they will not have suicidal tendencies!" Four four confides in Andrea, but under Andrea's cold gaze, he can't give in.
The matter was over, and Iroh returned to the Sky Courtyard again. He moved into Edward's castle, continued to work part-time as a nanny, and waited for the next assignment to come.
The daily life of the executor is usually so quiet and elegant, and the days when he often fights on the front line are the exception.
The peaceful daily life passed day by day, and the most popular festival gradually ushered in the sky.
Valentine's Day, a day when there are lovers at the ball, and single people at least don't have to go to class, is a day to celebrate for all students.
And on this day, the heads of the nations are present, and even if the king cannot arrive in person, he will inevitably send heirs or other immediate family members.
For example, it was not King Blaise who sent out the Pines, but Prince Tollin.
Flanda followed closely behind Iroh, and when she saw Torin, she couldn't help frowning, "Didn't he run away?" Why do you want to come back and inherit the throne? β
"He may not have come to inherit the throne." "Maybe this is also a punishment for His Majesty Blaze's actions to His Highness Torrin." β
As they walked to the center of the dance floor, Flanda suddenly felt that her dress seemed to be so inconspicuous, and she looked at the crowd around her, and she was like an ugly duckling, so she immediately said to Iroh, "Mr. Knight, I want to go and change my clothes, you wait here for me." β
"Yes, Your Highness." Iroh saluted Flanda.
After Flanda left, Iroh stood quietly in the middle of the dance floor.
The ball had been going on for a while, and Iroh was standing quietly, during which the aristocratic lady kept inviting him to do a dance, but Iroh politely declined on the grounds that he was waiting for someone.
There are also many people who think of him as Edward, but after seeing his hair color, they all say that they are wrong.
What was more worrying was that Iroh didn't even see Edward himself in the venue, which surprised him a little. He remembered that Iroh had been insisting that he had to attend the Valentine's Day Ball, and that he had something very important to announce, and now it seemed that this very important thing might be "I'm not coming, I didn't expect it".
By the time the two entered, the first half of the ball was already halfway through, and it took quite a long time for Flanda to leave the venue and change her clothes, and by the time she returned to the venue, the first half of the ball was over.
But in the end, the result of dressing up was worth the time she spent.
The second half was about to begin, and Flanda was dressed up.
Her gorgeous blue and silver clothes, at first glance, looked like a snowy night covered in silver, and in the whole dark night, it emitted a faint ghostly light, not gorgeous, not dazzling, but it was the only light.
"How?" Flanda walked up to Iroh and asked him.
"It was perfect." Iroh commented sincerely.
"Really?" Flanda's eyes gleamed with joy, "It's good that Charlotte gave me this dress, otherwise I would have no face to attend this ball." β
"Charlotte? Is she safe and sound? Elo remembered the female thief who hadn't been able to leave the Zephyr Mansion for the sake of Elo and Flanda.
"She wasn't spared, she gave it to me before that incident." The glint of joy in Flanda's eyes suddenly dimmed, "She wants me to wear this dress when attending aristocratic gatherings, but in that kind of small country place, there are few banquets, and even if there is, no one will invite me." β
"I invite you." Eloh held out his hand to Flanda, "Can you dance with me?" β
"Absolutely." Flanda took Ello's hand, and the two walked onto the dance floor together.
Flanda's dance steps are clumsy, and she looks timid, not like she often attends aristocratic parties.
However, Iroh is still very patient in teaching her, and for each master, Iroh always does his best and accepts everything from the other party.
So did Edward, and so did Flanda.
Although Flanda has no dance background, it can be seen that she is studying very seriously, and she will not make mistakes by the halfway point of the dance.
However, there are some small mistakes that she will keep until the end of the ball, such as when Iroh's eyes inadvertently catch a glimpse of a noble lady, and Flanda will always accidentally step on Iroh's foot.
Although she would apologize immediately, Iroh didn't dare to take her eyes off Flanda anymore.
As the dance music ends, and the dance ends, Mel listens to the melody getting deeper and lower, and she can't help but feel sad.
"Mr. Knight, it would be nice if this ball never ended."
"That's impossible, Your Highness." Iroh said.
After the ball, Eloh will become Flanda's knight as always, and Flanda will become Edward's fiancΓ©e again.
Flanda feels like the Cinderella in the story, and can only dance with the prince - but how could this prince not be another version of Cinderella?
As Iroh had said, the ball ended eventually, and Flanda and Iroh saluted each other, each returning to where they were supposed to be, waiting for the end of the show.
And just then, an uninvited guest walked onto the dance floor.
"Your Highness Edward?" Someone recognized him immediately.
"So he didn't come? I think I saw him, huh? β
"You're wrong......".
Edward ignored the gossip as he stepped into the wind and walked to the middle of the dance floor.
"Everyone, listen to me, I have something to announce."
