CHAPTER XVIII

The Philosopher's Stone-Dotted Imperial Palace is unusually glaring in the dark. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Everyone in the palace had a smile on their faces, the aristocratic lords in fancy clothes held wine glasses and whispered about unknown private matters, the elegant ladies gathered together to discuss some intimate matters that the men did not know, and the young aristocratic young man held the wine glass and looked at the girl dressed like a flower butterfly waiting for an opportunity to start.

The carriage stopped in front of the heavily guarded palace gate, and the night slowly walked inside, holding Aihua's arm. Aihua looked at the magic car parked at the door and said, "Whose car is that?

Ye smiled and pinched Aihua fiercely with his hand, looked around vigilantly and whispered: "The eight families and the duke are all privileged, do you say that you don't want to live?"

Aihua didn't speak, now asking about this thing was just curiosity, if he wanted it, just grab it.

But he didn't know that this thing was supposed to be an item that could only be used by the royal family, since the duke took charge of the government, these things naturally became their family's things, and the emperor gave the new eight families this kind of thing in order not to let the family dominate.

The two walked into the hall and found a remote corner where they could rest. An elegant young man saw the light of the night, walked straight forward with two wine glasses, and said, "This beautiful lady, I am Stuart Joel, I don't know if I can see the light."

El doesn't give his full name when he speaks, unless there are two kinds, one is very respectful of the person opposite, and the other is to use the family name to deter the person opposite, and now it seems that it is clearly the latter. Joel's family name Stuart is one of the new eight families, because of the turmoil in the national capital, these noble young masters are all carrying their tails, and now they are stable, how can they not come out and relax on the opportunity of Anna's birthday?

Although he was disgusted in the heart of the night, he still had to pretend to be happy on his face and said, "Where is my husband, Master Joel, please."

Joel, who was also a wise man, heard the meaning of the night's words, and he looked at Aihua's pale and trembling appearance, and thought to himself: "How can such a beauty be insulted by a sick person".

He walked further and whispered to the night: "I don't know if the beauty can appreciate the light, let's talk alone"?

Night hurriedly retreated to Aihua's side, this action made Joel clench the wine glass in his hand and look at Aihua and whispered, "I don't know what your surname is?

Ye hurriedly said: "This is my husband Thomas Ella, I am his wife, my husband is afraid to see the living, please leave."

Joel took the wine glass and toasted the night, and then left happily. Although everyone knows in their hearts that this king is like a puppet now, but on this occasion, they still have to take care of the king's face, not to mention that this bitch who seduced himself has already said the name of the family, Joel has made up his mind that after the banquet, he must find out their background, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be cool to play with this bitch in front of that puller.

Seeing that Aihua didn't speak, Ye said helplessly: "I can only make trouble for you here, so you can do it yourself."

Aihua watched the night leave and didn't speak, Aihua picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp, the faint fruity aroma penetrated his internal organs, but Aihua still felt as if something was blocked in his chest, and only wine could alleviate this feeling. The nobles on the side all looked at Aihua like this, and they all stayed away from this drunkard.

The noisy atmosphere around Aihua instantly fell silent, and the king looked up and was helping Anna out of the way, although she was wearing a gorgeous dress, and her pale face made Aihua feel very distressed.

"Whoosh"

He didn't know that the wine glass that Aihua was holding slipped out of his hand, and the night that appeared at some point on the side put the wine glass on the table, put his hand on Aihua's shoulder, and pressed it hard to prevent him from getting up.

"Everyone, today is the little girl's birthday, everyone is free to play often" Elegant and slow music fluttered slowly in the hall.

The nobles dragged their wives on the dance floor to dance gracefully, and when the song was finished, the young girls were waiting for the handsome men to invite them to dance, and the sons of the eight families and Hughes waited quietly for the princess's choice.

Anna slowly walked towards the crowd at the urging of the king, and the nobles and young masters couldn't hold back the joy in their hearts. I hope the princess can choose herself.

In the end, Anna still chose a son of a small family, and the sons of the eight major families were not angry and looked for beautiful girls, only Xiusi stood quietly outside the dance floor and watched them dance, his face looked very calm, but what everyone saw was a beast that was about to go berserk.

Xius's heart was indeed very calm, although the young man in this hall could compare to his current status, and the princess should have asked him to dance, but he was not interested in this so-called princess.

In the eyes of others, it is indeed an honor to be able to dance with the princess for the first time, but he has seen through this hypocritical world, what can the princess do?

Aihua looked at Anna who was dancing, and her face was red and white. He sighed and walked to the door alone, and the night hurriedly chased after him.

Standing outside the dance floor, Xiusi looked at Aihua's back and felt a little familiar, and he was busy being stopped, he walked in front of Aihua and said suspiciously: "This, I see that you are a little familiar, we may have seen it there"?

Aihua lowered his head and didn't speak, and hurriedly said in the night on the side: "How can it be that Count Hughes is laughing, he doesn't go out all the year round, if the king hadn't invited all the nobles in the city, maybe he would have died of old age at home."

"Oh, I see, it seems that you are not in good health, please pass." Xius looked at Aihua who was far away and said loudly: "Princess Palace"?

It just so happened that the music stopped and everyone turned their eyes to this place. A dejected Aihua walked forward. Xius smiled and said to everyone: "This one, who is not feeling well, will go back first." The group continued to chat, but then Duke Potter's words silenced the crowd.

"Today, the nobles of the national capital are here, and I announce one thing, the eldest son, Theseus and Princess Anna, will officially be engaged today."

The quiet crowd began to talk in whispers, and the patriarch of the eight major families looked at the king, and the king was also at a loss. It's fine if Anna marries a small family, but she wants to marry the eldest son of Duke Potter, which means that the newly calmed capital will once again set off a bloody storm.

Aihua's body trembled when he heard the news, and he felt that the whole world was collapsing. It was only relieved by the constant reminders of the night.

Aihua whispered, "Night, if I turn around, you'll knock me out immediately."
