Chapter 022: (Parting Kiss)

Just as Iris didn't know how to contradict his cousin, a soft voice came from behind him. "Edward Knight, can we be alone for a while?"

Edward turned to look at him, and then said gentlemanly, "Of course, beautiful young lady." He winked at his cousin, then got up and left his seat, driving away his companions who were sitting around him.

At this point, the girl lifted the hem of her skirt close to her heels, lifted her legs over the bench, and sat down in Edward's place generously, contrary to her previous behavior.

When Iris saw the girl sitting next to him, he immediately panicked, as if there was a lion sitting next to him, he was cramped and uneasy, it was not good to turn his face, he couldn't do it if he didn't fall over, and he was embarrassed to stand up.

"You don't like me?" the girl asked.

Iris looked at the other party in surprise, so shocked that he couldn't speak, he didn't expect the other party to suddenly ask him such a direct question. "It's not. He replied with his head bowed.

Kellya smiled slightly, and her white and tender face showed a shy flush, which was even more shy and cute. "Do you hate me?"

"It's not. Iris's face was very dull, like a taut drum skin.

"Then why don't you dare to look at me?"

Iris slowly raised his head, the girl's fair face shimmered with ruddy luster, the bridge of the nose was delicate, erect, flesh-colored nose wings were very elegant, and he saw a pair of crystal eyes on her face, black and white, pure as a deep spring in the valley.

Kellia grinned at him, and saw two rows of snow-white teeth, like pearls that shimmered brightly. "Are you upset?"

"Nope. Iris's face was flushed, and his hands didn't know where to put them, and his palms were in a cold sweat.

"You look nervous. Kellya carefully observed the boy in front of her.

"Nope. Iris pretended to be calm and looked at the girl next to him, who was half a foot taller than him. She's beautiful. My cousin was right, I couldn't find a prettier girl than her.

"Then why do you keep clenching your fists?" Kellya commented, "Are you shy?"

"It's not. Iris retorted.

"Except for the no-and-no-" Kylia paused deliberately, observing the other party's expression, "Can't you say something else?"

"Yes!" Iris muttered under his breath.

Kylia playfully said, "Grandpa said you can play chess, draw, play the piano, and write poetry, right?"

"Yes. He replied with a serious face.

"Do you know what?" the expression on Kylia's face began to grow dissatisfied.

"What?" Ires blurted out.

Kellya pursed her lips, her curved willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, her long eyelashes fluttered, and her pursed mouth seemed to be able to hold a small oil bottle. "You don't say more than two words to me, if you don't want to stay with me, please let me know." ”

"That's because you've been asking me questions, and I'm just answering your questions in the easiest way," his voice grew from low to high, and he gradually roared, his face flushed, "If I upset you, I'm sorry, I'm going to miss you first." With that, Iris was about to get up and leave.

Kelya was startled, as if she had been awakened from a dream, and her eyes looked as if she had just groped her way back from a distant place. At the same time, many eyes around them turned to them, and Duke Ed and Baron Parocus on the high platform were also looking over this side with puzzled expressions.

"Are you angry?"

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper. All the people in the hall were affected by him, and all of a sudden they all became serious. It was as if Iris had suddenly fallen into cold water, and his whole face froze all at once.

"Whether you like me or not, I will be your wife. A grim smile broke into Kelia's face, and her face was crimson, like a drunken peony flower.

"Yes, I know. Iris struggled to make his voice sound understated. He knew that no one in the entire hall could go against his father's wishes.

"Let's go for a walk outside, shall we?" Kellia reached out and grabbed the boy's arm, and Iris tried to dodge back, she leaned down to his face, her eyes wide and attentive, and she whispered in his ear, "Your father is watching us!"

Iris was sweating with nervousness, her heart was beating and her face was red. The young people around him cast envious glances at him, and he noticed that his father, who was sitting on the high platform, also showed a rare smile, and Gylrenville behind his father was also looking at him.

The sky was sparsely dotted with a few stars, like a few pearls inlaid in a canopy of black satin, and the quiet moonlight cast a silver net on the ground, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of silver frost.

Kylia took Iris's stiff arm and left the bustling hall, and they strolled down the garden paths wrapped in night. "Iris," the girl said softly, "can you sing me a hymn?"

Iris was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, "What type of poetry would you like to hear?" He couldn't refuse the request of such a beautiful girl, who had become his fiancée in the castle behind him.

"It's about love. ”

Iris thought about it seriously, " In the place where we once met, I waited for a long, long time, the years have gone, the leaves have long been withered and yellow, I can't see your figure, only to know that there is no land in the world; at the intersection that I once walked, I stood for a long time, dare not take another step forward, my heart is a little frightened, looking at the road leading to the distance, it will not be all smooth road, do I muster up the courage again, open the curtain of your soul; in the place where I once separated, the waiting time has been a long time, in a trance I still see you smiling, and without hesitation turn around and wave your hand, the years are like an hourglass, I am a little lonely, think about the past, I have to look for tenderness in my dreams。 ”

"What a miserable love. As she listened, her eyes moistened, and a feeling of sadness welled up in her heart.

Iris looked at the moist eyes on the girl's pretty face, looking a little panicked, "I shouldn't have yelled at you. He didn't know what to say to her, he just didn't want the girl to shed tears in front of him.

The girl grinned and said indifferently, "You're already sorry, aren't you? and it's not your fault." ”

Iris's face seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, and gradually became clearer. "Thank you. ”

"Xie Lu, thank me, what?"

"Xie Lu, thank you for not making me ugly in public in the castle hall just now. Iris explained.

Kelya's expression suddenly became serious, and she said in a heartfelt voice, "You are my fiancé, the heir of the Harungus family, and the future ruler of the Southern Province, how could I make you embarrassed in front of so many people!

"I—" When the words came to his lips, Iris didn't know what to say.

"When Lord Eddard announced our engagement from the podium, you looked like a dumb little fool. A smile appeared on the girl's lips. "Didn't your father tell you before that?"

"No," Iris replied with a sour stomach. "I rarely saw my father during this time, except during meals...... But he didn't say a word to me. ”

Taken aback, Kylia stopped in disbelief and turned to face the boy. "I knew it five days ago, when Lord Ed and the Gylornville Knights came to see Grandpa. "At first I thought I was going to turn away, but Master Eddard told me to stay, saying it had something to do with me. ”

"What did they say to your face?" Iris blurted out. Gylrenville also hid it from me, and who else knew about it? Allen, Hart, Lyrim, maybe Master Marco knew about it, but he didn't show up in the hall today.

"Yes, Lord Eddard first asked for my attitude, and he said he wouldn't force it if I didn't want to. Kelya's face flushed, and she blinked with big eyes, "My grandfather looked at me differently at the time, and I knew he wanted to agree, and I didn't disappoint him." ”

"Miss Kelia, it's time for us to go back. A young maid shouted at them not far away.

"It's time for me to go. Kylia let go of the delicate hand that was holding the boy.

Iris was stupid enough to say a word. "Be careful on the road. ”

The girl laughed and said, "My grandfather is the first knight, and no bandit dares to rob us on the road, and besides, we have fifty knights with us. ”

"See you again. Iris smiled awkwardly.

"See you again!" Kellya leaned in slightly, her eyes slightly closed, and she kissed the boy on the right cheek before quickly turning and fleeing.

Iris's face turned red to the base of his ears, as if he had done something immoral, and he stood there in silence as the girl's back disappeared in front of him.
