XVI. Rituals

A team of 50 men, led by Ed Gilheim, came to the gates of Almak. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was a well-groomed force, dressed in glittering armor that was the color of a guard of honor, more ornate than effective, more ornamental than practical, and at the same time, they did not carry any threatening weapons in their hands. Flowers? I always feel that thing can't be used for war.

But even so, the formation of 50 troops still caused panic among the guards of the city gates.

As a landlocked country, Tofu is within the system of the Kingdom of Fran, and the Duchy of Almac, which is backed by the danger of Billymas, has been peaceful for a long time, and the sudden appearance of an army is really a big stimulus for them.

Although the other party seemed completely harmless, the guards at the city gate still made contact with the other party with trepidation, and soon after, they received instructions from their superiors to let them go.

Boss is a very delicate title, of course, the boss at the top of these guards should be Fan, but whether this order to let other countries' troops enter the city or not is based on Fan's instructions, then only God knows.

As the night darkens, the whole city begins to boil.

Civilians watched with envy and awe as the foreign soldiers slowly passed through the central avenue, and those soldiers were in high spirits and heroic postures, dressed in shining and richly textured armor, and raised their heads one by one, without squinting, like proud peacocks, showing off their magnificence, so that the onlookers could hardly take their eyes off.

The flowers on the hands of these people relaxed the nerves of these poor civilians.

The party then arrived at the residence of Count Thomas Bain.

The lights are already on.

The Earl himself went out and welcomed these guests from neighboring countries into the mansion.

Immediately after, the banquet began.

Basically, all the people in the Duchy of Almac were present, but the greatest man in the Duchy, Van der Almac himself, did not show up.

That's also a matter of course, the current Duke has almost become everyone's laughing stock, and the original wife was snatched away by others, and Fan's face has been completely lost.

In the hall, men and women formed small circles, and people from various factions gathered together and talked in whispers.

"However, it's a ...... that our little Elle is going to marry a foreigner."

"That Lord Duke is a stronger existence than our little Duke, presumably Lord Count is also anxious to hug thicker thighs......"

"Sure enough, I still can't accept it, if it's our little duke, it's just that I see him and Miss Alicia playing around all day long, to be honest, I've been numb a long time ago, but that foreigner is nothing, it's just a usurper......"

"Silence!!Stupid, he's a duke now!"

"Isn't our little duke here yet? probably hiding somewhere crying his nose......"

"Speaking of which, Lord Leon doesn't seem to have arrived yet...... someone said thoughtfully.

Moments later, the owner of the Earl's Court, Thomas Bain, appeared on the table.

"At Lower Thomas Bain, welcome to the engagement of the youngest daughter. He said in a loud voice, joy in his voice.

"Next, the honorable Duke Ed Gilheim and his youngest daughter, Alicia Bain, will make a sacred marriage in the presence of all your distinguished guests. ”

After speaking, the scene was sober.

First up is the Duke of a neighboring country.

Whether it is appearance or temperament, Ed Gilheim is far beyond Fan, he is more like a real duke than Fan, who is still a child, and this noble young man comes to everyone with a happy smile like a spring breeze.

"Thank you very much for attending the engagement ceremony with Miss Bain, you have made me feel the friendliness and warmth of Almac, and it is a great honor to receive your blessings on this important occasion. ”

He bowed gracefully to the crowd.

The words and deeds full of aristocratic demeanor greatly increased the favor of everyone, and the little unhappiness that originally arose because this foreigner married a girl from his own country also faded.

If this is the person, maybe he is worthy of our Miss Alicia.

Then, the heroine appeared.

Amazing.

The heavy makeup that is different from the previous elegance makes the beautiful girl more attractive, and the 15-year-old face that is still slightly jerky is well integrated into the carefully sketched heavy makeup at this moment, making the girl full of charming style.

Ed's eyes lit up.

"Dear Miss Bain, your beauty is as beautiful as the stars in the sky, and your smile touches my heart. ”

He gazed greedily at the ornament that hung from the girl's chest, and after checking the details, he knew that it was the proof of the Pol family.

He fell to his knees on one knee exaggeratedly in front of the girl and gently took the girl's hand.

"Beautiful girl, are you lucky enough to be able to hold these slender hands forever?"

The romantic and gentle feelings almost made all the young girls in the entire hall fall for it, even the noble lady who had already married a woman couldn't help but have her heart beating faster, her face flushed, and she couldn't take her eyes off the protagonist on the stage, and she had the idea of replacing the heroine with her own body.

But Alicia, as the heroine, was expressionless, rather gloomy and silently allowed the other party's performance.

"Can't you touch your heart with clumsy words?Ah~~~~ Beautiful Miss Bain, allow me to show this unique treasure and prove my love for you!"

Ed pulled out a small box from his pocket, and when he opened it, there was a ring set with a huge gemstone in the middle.

Seeing the huge gem that shimmered with a faint brilliance and was not like words, there was a faint gasping sound from all around.

The country nobles of Almac had never seen such a large gem in their lives. It is said that King Fran possessed a huge gem called the Angel's Heart, which was probably only a fraction larger than that.

"This is a treasure that only you deserve, beautiful Miss Bain, and it represents the affection for you, so let it be the messenger of love, and convey the truest love to you instead of the clumsy one.

With a mesmerizing smile on his face, Ed gently took Alicia's hand.

"Please allow me to bring this ring to you. ”

And the girl seems absent-minded, not cooperating, not resisting, not acting, just simply let the other party do it.

She was silently calculating when she would make a move (maybe a kick) to break the ribs of the man in front of her if she didn't come.

From the very beginning, this young girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside refuses to be a victim of a political marriage, how can a person who can be recognized by the old duke as an ombudsman be the kind of weak woman who bows to fate?

With the girl's perception of childhood sweethearts, she knows that person will definitely do this, likes to be in the limelight, never appears until the last moment, and smashes the things he hates, that's exactly that guy's style.

Alicia's eyes were not at all on the so-called treasure, and certainly not on the man in front of her.

She simply stared at the void in front of her, but there happened to be a superfluous person like Ed in that place, which made her look like she was looking at the man in front of her.

The jewel on the ring reminded the girl of the toys that someone used to play in the river when she was a child, and then after learning the true value of those toys, her face ached, and she regretted her death and rolled on the ground.

That stark foolish face popped up suddenly.

【Hero?】

"Poof......

It must be an illusion.,I always feel that the heroine of the ceremony leaked a little broken smile in an instant.。

The ring set with a huge gem gradually fell on the girl's finger.

The guests held their breath and watched the exciting scene with wide eyes.

Alicia tensed the muscles in her thighs, intending to give a hard blow to the guy kneeling in front of her.

Right now.

"Bah!!" there was a loud bang.

The door to the hall was violently kicked open.

Behind the scenes of the small theater:

"Ellie, I'm going to ask a question. ”

"What do you want to ask?"

"As a Western fantasy world, there is no power setting in Chapter 16, is this really no problem?

"There will be power settings, and mysterious powers will also exist, but it's not time to appear yet. I like to read the reference news, and the girl who knows a little more about the inside story than Fan replied.

"But I heard that scumbag Zhang, that stupid guy is not good at setting powers, upgrades and stuff like that, it's said that he can't even figure out how many layers the magic net has, can such a guy really set a decent mystery? What if I've been such a weak chicken all my life? I don't want the throne of the weakest male protagonist in the history of X o'clock at all!!"

"Boom!!"

A thunderclap suddenly sounded in the clear sky.

"I ...... Let's change the subject...... even Fan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: "Ellie, when do you think I'm going to be king?

"I can't guess. The girl shook her head: "The idea of that scumbag is not something we can easily guess, Fan, why do you want to be the king?"

"Because the king sounds imposing, and the exclusive suits are handsome. Fan smiled and said: "For example, the king's new clothes, it seems that the attributes have been added a lot, and every time you wear it, it will attract onlookers." ”

The girl sighed: "It's because you're always so unreliable that I'll be snatched away by someone who suddenly appeared on the scene." ”

Fan scratched his head: "Speaking of which, the recent development is the plot I hate the most, when will I be able to kill that dead runner Gilheim?"

"Don't worry, I've heard that Lord Scumbag is very soft-hearted, and he himself hates similar plots, so there will definitely be proper arrangements, and I won't really be robbed. Ellie reassured.

"But if Ellie wasn't with me, I'd ...... I ......" Fan suddenly became excited.

"Van......" Alicia's heart warmed.

"I can just be lazy and not work!!"

"Pop !!" white light flashed.

Miss Alicia, your ability to wield a paper fan has improved again.

Cheeky zero point for recommendation.
