Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Prairie Overhead
"What about you, do you still love Anne?" said Anne with a smile and tilted her head.
The question came so suddenly that Stanislen was speechless, because like Evelyn, he couldn't make decisions for his previous self.
He didn't speak for a long time, which darkened the girl's expression, like a shadow cast on the back of the bright sun.
"Perhaps, you still hate Anne. ”
The air around him grew heavy, and Stannis wanted to say something to comfort her, but an annoying noise interrupted his constructed words.
A butler in a wig shouted to everyone in the hall with a smile, "Sir Bellandi from the Imperial Capital has arrived!"
The 'Knight Laureate' who rescued him last time was the handsome man who descended from the heavens?
His arrival brought the atmosphere of the banquet hall to its peak, and almost all the ladies and ladies rushed to throw flowers at him, leaving Stannis and Anister alone in the middle of the dance floor.
"Aren't you going to join in the fun?" he said sourly, after all, this guy almost cuckolded him last time.
"With Brother Stan with me, should I show mercy to other men?" Anne obediently rested her head on Stannis's chest, and this watery tenderness surrounded Stannis and made him experience the purest happiness.
'Don't you feel her hatred!'
Lina's words rang in his head at an inopportune time, and Stannis covered his head with bared teeth, his mind full of the woman's spell-like words.
"What's wrong, Brother Stan?" asked Anne looking up curiously.
He didn't speak, for he saw the handsome knight Beorandi walking towards him.
The Knight Laureate held a delicate ring box with large diamonds on the surface, and Stannis couldn't look at it.
He wouldn't come and propose to his fiancée, would he?" Stanis had a bad feeling as the women around him looked at Anne with hot jealous eyes.
Finally, the tall and handsome Beorlandi stood in front of the girl, and then opened the ring box with affection, and a huge purple gem that Stannis had never seen in his life appeared in the box.
However, if it is a gemstone, this purple stone seems to be too bright, it turns out that there is a ball of light inside this transparent stone, and the purple light is wrapped in the inside of the stone and keeps flowing, making people inevitably ripple when they see it.
"Violet Crystal!" exclaimed a few knowledgeable people.
[Violet Crystal] referred to as amethyst, is one of the most precious items in the Western Continent, because it contains the magic power that can make ordinary creatures crazy, so only the dwarves who resist demons know how to mine, and because the yield is extremely low, it has been regarded as the most precious gem in the entire continent.
Stannis didn't expect this kid to be so generous, such a ring has two or three thousand gold coins, compared to his own gift is not worth a glance at like a stinky stone in the channel, no wonder Anne didn't have a trace of emotion when she saw the gem he gave him.
Damn! Miscalculated! Stannis tugged at his hair, knowing that he might as well not send a single hair, so that he could still stay cold.
Beorandi ignored her fiancé at all, and whispered with a charming smile, "Happy birthday to you, my Annie." ”
Stannis felt that his green hat was completely solid, and he was so angry that he wanted to attack on the spot, but found that all but a few women in the audience were looking at Bellandi with crazy eyes, if he did it himself, he would be beaten to death by these crazy women, right?
Now he can only hope that his fiancée still remembers what he just said, and refused this guy's gift, and threw himself into his arms in public, slapping Bellandi in the face!
Unfortunately, Anne did not mean to refuse in the slightest, she covered her mouth with her hand and became extremely surprised, and then moved to tears, "Sir Bellandy, this ...... Is this really for me?"
It's all over, and she's got excited about the gift.
"Of course, my Annie, it's just a worthless little thing, and I hope you don't get angry. Beorandi was sure.
"You're so nice~~" Anne couldn't wait to pick up the ring and put it on her finger, "Isn't it good-looking, Brother Stan, huh?"
At some point, her fiancé had left the banquet hall in a huff.
The Marquis de Flode's Palace, early in the morning
Stannis was restless on the plush bed in his room, but he couldn't fall asleep.
Because it was too late after the dinner, he had to stay in the marquis's mansion.
However, Stannis, who thought he could sleep beautifully on this soft big bed, did not get his wish, for the simple reason that he was about to explode!
A guy who is better than himself in all aspects is courteous to his fiancée, holding a ring worth 2,500 gold coins and saying that it is just a worthless gift!
And you can't get angry and beat him up yet, because in the culture of the Western Continent, married and unmarried noblewomen can flirt with other people, and her husband/fiancé must pretend to be generous, otherwise it will be very difficult to seduce other married men when his reputation is bad in the future......
Although Stannis understands the truth that 'the green man is always green', this blatant act of digging into the corner is so arrogant that even an honest man like him who is benevolent, wise, righteous and courteous will be angry.
And even more infuriating was Anne's reaction, who seemed to enjoy the guy's compliments and made herself look like the superfluous one. As a woman who is about to get married, is it really good to still be ambiguous like this!
No matter what he thought, Stannis just couldn't swallow this breath, and he was going to have a showdown with her tomorrow morning, vowing to clear the grassland from his head.
'Da, da, da'
There was a soft knock on the door.
Who's going to bother you late, a puffed Stannis kicked the quilt away, then jumped up and opened the door.
"Who!" he asked.
A man dressed in men's clothes appeared before him, his head bowed as if he were not hairy, and the darkness completely obscured his face.
"Who are you?" Stannis didn't recognize.
"Brother Stan, disguise yourself a little, and you won't know me!"
A familiar voice, and then he realized that it was no one else, but Anist, who was dressed as a man!
"Why are you dressed like that?" he asked curiously.
"It's the same as before! how can you sneak out without dressing up like this?"
Stannis understood, it seems that such a large family of nobles really can't run around at will.
