readx;? Lord of the Rose, Karanstuart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It stands to reason that this should be the first time Ian has seen this old man, but the moment he saw him, Ian felt a trace of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere, but this familiarity was very faint, so faint that he suspected that it was just an illusion.
The moment Karan appeared, the audience fell silent, watching him walk step by step to the center of the ball. He was dressed in a snow-white robe, which contrasted with the bright red roses on the robe. At this moment he was wearing a pair of half-moon-framed eyes, like an elegant old gentleman, and on his ring finger he wore a worn-out ring that was out of step with his own style.
Weird coquettish old man.
That's what Ian says about him in his heart. But the others didn't see it that way, whether they were merchants or representatives of other hunter families, and their eyes looked at him with reverence and fear. Dennis, on the other hand, exudes unparalleled fanaticism in his eyes.
"He's a living legend. Dennis said.
Ian doesn't see the smack of legend in him, but he reminds Ian of another old man. Rudokaf, the man who called himself the Lord of the Plum Blossoms, was the complete opposite of Kalan, scruffy like a beggar. But he told Ian a truth, people should not be disguised.
Karan always had a faint smile on his lips, and he looked around at everyone present with those blue eyes. Everyone who was swept by his gaze involuntarily straightened their chests, but their eyes subconsciously avoided it.
Ian and Dennis were standing in the corner, relatively dark, so Karan didn't notice them.
"This is the Stuart family. Karan spoke slowly, with an addictive magnetism in his tone, "As the master of the Stuart family, I should come out at this time to say a few words. But I understand that the protagonist of tonight is not me, but my granddaughter, and tonight should also be the stage for you young people, so I'm sorry that I, an old immortal, should come out on such a night to disturb the atmosphere. ”
Karan seemed to be telling a joke, but no one dared to laugh. Who dares to laugh doesn't mean that they agree that Karan is an old immortal guy?
It's just that Ian, who didn't know Kalan at all, twitched the corners of his mouth, and it could be seen that no one was laughing, so he held back and continued to listen to Karan.
"Well, you guys have always been so boring. Karan sighed leisurely, "Sometimes I can't tell whether I'm an old man or you're an old man, please, young people, smile more." ”
At this point, the crowd finally burst out laughing. I don't know if it's really funny or just to give Karan a face.
"Merchants are the most hypocritical and boring. Dennis said disdainfully, "They always pretend to be kind, hiding all their ambitions and desires under that face." ”
Ian shrugged his shoulders and didn't comment on that. He's nervous now, Karan is the messiah's grandfather, he's already out, so the messiah is pretty much the same. Thinking that he was about to meet the Messiah, he was a little at a loss. How should I go up and say hello? Pat her on the head and smile silly, "Hey, long time no see." ”?
It's just stupid.
At the same time, Ian couldn't help but have a flash of worry in his heart, afraid that he would not see the Messiah today. Just like the other day, he was completely prepared to intercept everyone's wedding car, but the result was disappointing. It's like God is playing a joke on him.
Fortunately, today, God didn't mean to joke.
Karan paused, then continued, "Alright, that's the end of my nonsense. Oh, and one more sentence, I hope you eat and drink well today, and you're welcome, the Stuart family is not poor. Well, now, please welcome the protagonist of this reception, my granddaughter. ”
Karan slowly raised his hand and motioned for everyone to look towards the second floor, and everyone raised their heads, and then held their breath in unison.
Beautiful, so beautiful.
The Messiah was dressed in a long snow-white dress, the hem of which dragged to the ground. Her long, peculiar sea-blue hair was coiled high, revealing her perfect face and white neck. Step by step, she walked down with the wooden handrail, and her skirt dragged on the stairs like a fairy descending from the sky.
"I was good when I was a child, and now I'm even more beautiful. Dennis sighed, "It just makes the women present not want to live." ”
Dennis is right, the Messiah is like a star, and the other women present are fireflies. The moment the stars fell, the fireflies eclipsed.
Ian was also stunned for a long time, the Messiah a year ago was also beautiful, but at that time in the snowy mountains, she did not have the opportunity to dress herself, she was always without makeup, and she had no beautiful clothes, only a soft armor that was convenient for movement. So he didn't expect that the Messiah should be so beautiful that everyone present would be ashamed.
However, apart from beauty, the Messiah was left with indifference. Those eyes as blue as the sky exuded a chill like ice, rejecting people thousands of miles away. Ian couldn't help but think back to the time when he first came into contact with the Messiah, when she was like that, and she was so unreasonable to everyone.
Thinking of this, Ian burst out laughing.
Dennis looked at him puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"
Ian was just about to speak, when his face suddenly changed. Dennis saw a bump in his chest and squirm, and then a small head came out of Ian's neckline, and his dark green eyes met Dennis's.
Dennis was stunned at this moment, and he couldn't figure out why a cat would emerge from Ian's arms at such a time.
And the little black cat is also confused, it has no idea where it is. It was put in the inner pocket of the gown by Ian while sleeping, but luckily it wouldn't fit enough. It woke up at this point, and let out a high-pitched whimper.
The drinking party, which had been quiet due to the appearance of the Messiah, suddenly heard a sharp cat meow. It's like a stone thrown into the surface of a calm lake, making a splash and rippling in circles.
So all eyes turned to Ian. Messiah, who had just come down from the second floor, also looked in the direction where the sound came from, and then saw Ian, who was holding the cat in the crowd and looking at her with a crying and laughing expression.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze.
Ian did not expect that he would meet the Messiah in such a way. At the moment when he met the Messiah's eyes, Ian's restless heart calmed down. He looked at her, then smiled.
"I'm coming for you. ”
