Looking at Dale, Queen Christina smiled, she took off the small silver princess crown on Dale's head, took the slightly larger golden princess crown from the tray in the attendant's hand and put it on Dale's head, and carefully arranged her hair.

"When I entered the palace, you were a carefree child, and in the blink of an eye you became an adult.

Soon you will have a husband who loves you, and you will have a healthy and beautiful child with him, and you will live a happy life like a princess in a fairy tale.

The fathers of the House of Augustine will bless you, your father will bless you, and I will bless you......"

Queen Christina hugged Dale affectionately, but there was a desolate look in her eyes.

is also a princess, who has dedicated her life to the happiness of her country, and will be trapped in this cold palace for the rest of her life.

The ceremony is over and the celebration begins.

The hall began to rise after a slight jolt.

It was the whole palace that floated, and the palace complex was supported by the pedestal. Without the obstruction of the surrounding high walls, abundant light shines in from all sides, casting golden light through the hall after passing through the specially made glass windows.

The space wall outside the palace was lifted, and the flying palace showed its majesty to the entire city of Shenglun, declaring the supreme power of the empire.

All the citizens of the imperial capital who saw the palace cheered, and the ceremonial flowers rose from all corners of the city, pushing the celebration to a climax.

In the hall where young people gather, three walls spread outwards to form a hanging terrace. The court attendants set up tables and chairs, food, drinks, and parasols for rest, and the dance floor in the middle was soon empty.

The court band played melodious dance music, and the people around the dance floor waited for today's protagonist, Princess Dale, to lead the first dance.

According to the prior arrangement, Luke should go up to the stage at this time and invite Dale onto the dance floor. But a young man stepped up first, his clothes and ornaments showed an extraordinary family background, and his expression was very arrogant.

He walked up to Empress Christina, who was sitting upright, and bowed: "Your Royal Highness, Father asked me to bring him his thoughts about you. The winds in Lusan Bay are just as gentle and peaceful, and it's been another good year......"

While Empress Christina is talking to the young man, the Sinclair grandson appears at Luke's side. He said, "That is MacDonald Lusen, the little prince of the kingdom of Lusyn, my ...... The Queen's younger brother.

Oh, my God! My grandma was younger than me. If it weren't for you, my aunt, Princess Dale, would have married my grandmother's younger brother, Prince MacDonald.

Isn't it confusing? ”

"It's really chaotic, and I sympathize with you," Luke said. ”

Sinclair said that he was used to it, and he said: "MacDonald definitely went to the stage for Aunt Dale, the first person who invited her to dance represents the support of the royal family, and Macdonald must be trying to steal your place through the queen's relationship." ”

Luke looked at the people on stage, and except for the queen, the other major royals did not appear. Prince Acrylic was not in the imperial capital because he went to the Western Front; The eldest prince Fania sent Sinclair as a representative; Agatha has not been seen, presumably to protect the palace and to deal with "emergencies".

The clear sky didn't come, and as a deterrent to force, she should stay where she wanted.

However, the students of the Mystic Division, led by Jenverny, all came to attend Dale's coming-of-age celebration.

Luke asks Sinclair, "You don't seem to like Prince Macdonald very much?" ”

"It's not disliked, the kingdom of Lusian is the granary of the empire, the empire provides military protection for the kingdom of Lusien, and the two families often strengthen their relationship by marriage.

I just think Aunt Dale is a good match for you, and my father wants you to be part of the royal family. Of course, if you're married to Aunt Agatha, it's the same for me. ”

Luke laughed and said, "You seem to be impatient to call me uncle." ”

"As a grandson, I'm used to it...... Look, that kid McDonald is going to make a move! ”

Luke looked at the salute stand.

When Prince MacDonald had finished his conversation with Queen Christina, he turned around and saluted Dale and extended his right hand to invite: "Beautiful Princess Dale, I was fascinated by your beauty and purity at the first sight of you.

Pardon my offense, can I have the privilege of asking you to do a dance? ”

Dai Erleng for a moment, obviously the process is wrong, didn't she say that the first dance was to dance with the meteor? She looked at the queen beside her, but Christina's gaze was on the meteorite below.

Dale turned to Prince Macdonald and smiled and said, "Uncle Macdonald, I would love to dance with you, but you are my elder, and I can't dance with you in the first dance." ”

MacDonald's face changed drastically, and Dale not only refused her invitation, but even kicked herself out of the suitor directly. This is not as simple as embarrassment, it is simply humiliating yourself in public.

But Daile's innocent appearance didn't seem to know what she said meant by her.

The scene fell into extreme embarrassment.

Fortunately, Queen Christina said at this time: "Macdonald, don't joke with Dale, everyone is waiting for the ball to begin." You sit next to me, and I have a lot to ask you about the Bay of Luthne. ”

With the queen relieved, MacDonald sat on the chair brought by the squire with a gloomy face.

Sinclair, who was in the audience, smiled and said to Luke, "Go ahead, I don't think anyone but you can lead Aunt Dale onto the dance floor." ”

"It feels like there's one more enemy for no apparent reason."

Luke walked towards the podium, and he could feel Prince MacDonald's hateful gaze at him, and ......

Queen Christina was also watching herself, and she had been watching me just now.

Interesting!

Luke came to the podium to salute the queen and then extended an invitation to Dale.

Dale obediently placed her hand in Luke's hand, and the two of them held hands and stepped off the stage onto the dance floor.

"Sister Agatha said that you have just learned the court dance."

"yes, dancing is harder than dealing with the gangs of thugs in Downtown."

Daile rubbed her fingers, the phosphor sprinkled down, and several goblins were summoned from the crystal powder: "It seems that I can only dance some simple steps?" ”

Leprechauns flew around the two, spilling out starlight and bands of light.

The two held hands together, and Dale took a step back to the beat of the music, leading Luke into the rhythm of the dance steps.

The smoothness and silkiness made Luke couldn't help but exclaim: "You dance much better than Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”

"Of course, I did very well in my dance class. Sister Agatha was already running the CIA at my age, and I had to deal with a full schedule of classes every day.

Fortunately, my father asked me to go to Miss Sunny Sky to take classes, and it was so much fun to study with so many classmates! ”

Dale's dancing moves were as light as an elf, which made Luke very relaxed, and he couldn't even tell that he was just a beginner.

"It seems that His Majesty has given you a lot of freedom, and even allowed you to choose who you want to marry in the future, and it seems that you don't need to flee here anymore."

"The freedom of the reward can be taken back at any time, for example, this kind of ball is not what I want." Most of the people here don't come here to bless me, but to get something out of me.

I don't want to be like Christina, whose fate is ruthlessly manipulated by those closest to her.

You promised me......"

"I promised you that I would take you out of this cage."

Daile smiled, "This is my Mr. Luke." ”

Luke and Dale lead the dance, and the other noble children invite their dance partners to the dance floor, and the joyful atmosphere fills the hall.

After a song, Luke and Dale separate. Dale returned to the podium, and Luke went to the terrace lounge to find a place where no one was sitting.

After the waiter poured Luke a glass of wine, a man sat directly across from Luke in a very impolite manner.

It's McDonald.

He looked at Luke as if he was cuckolded, and threatened: "Stay away from Daile, the only one who deserves the princess is the prince!" ”

Luke picked up his wine glass and leaned comfortably on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed: "You're right! ”

MacDonald thought that the meteor was afraid of him, and said arrogantly: "You are self-aware, this is good!"

I will tell my sister, your queen, that she will give you other rewards. ”

"Then thank you, Your Royal Highness. If nothing else, please leave and don't get in the way of me looking at the scenery of the imperial capital.

There aren't many opportunities to see the city from the palace in the sky. ”

Luke's teasing tone gave MacDonald a hint of flavor.

"Are you entertaining me?"

"Not arguing with fools is the principle of how I do things."

"You!" MacDonald stood up indignantly: "Meteor, do you know who you're talking to!" You are but a vicarious governor and lord, and I am the prince of the kingdom of Luthen, and the Empress of the Empire is my sister.

Apologize, apologize immediately, or I will punish you for insulting the royal family of Golden Shield and the royal family of Lusen. ”

Luke drank the wine from his glass in one gulp, then shouted, "Sinclair, come here." ”

On the dance floor, Sinclair was dancing with a beautiful young lady. But when he heard the falling star calling out to himself, he immediately put down his dance partner and ran over.

"What's the matter?"

Luke handed over the empty wine glass: "Pour me a drink." ”

Sinclair was still puzzled, and there was a waiter next to him, how to call him over to pour wine. But when I saw that MacDonald was here, still with that face, I understood what was going on.

"Yes, Lord Governor." Sinclair immediately took the bottle from the squire's hand, poured red wine into Luke's glass, and asked, "Do you have any other orders?" ”

Luke sighed secretly, Sinclair, this kid is on the road: "No...... You've got a lot of vision, you're looking for a beautiful dance partner, go dance. ”

"Yes, Lord Governor."

Sinclair ran back to the dance floor and continued to dance with her female partner.

Luke took a sip of red wine from his glass and asked MacDonald, "Sorry, I didn't hear what you said...... Can you say that again? ”

MacDonald was dumbfounded.

Who was Sinclair?

The eldest grandson of Augustine the Great!

After the second prince Acrylic left the imperial capital, the now eldest prince Fania is widely regarded as the successor of the empire.

Sinclair, with his status as the eldest grandson and deep ties with the military, will definitely inherit the empire and become emperor in the future.

Can the little prince of his own vassal country be compared to the future emperor?

Of course it can't be compared.

But Meteor dared to summon Sinclair Emperor Sun to pour wine by himself, it was too disrespectful and too ......

How dare he!

MacDonald stood there, not knowing what to do.

Fortunately, Empress Christina came over at this time, and she said to MacDonald: "The Governor of Meteorite is one of the busiest people in the Empire, so don't disturb the Governor's rest here." There are a lot of ladies from aristocratic families today, so let's go find them. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." A dazed MacDonald immediately left.

Empress Christina sat down opposite Luke and let her servants leave.

"I'm sorry, Governor Meteor, but I apologize on behalf of my ignorant brother. The kingdom of Lusian is a relatively closed country, he is a spoiled child, and I will teach him a good lesson. ”

Luke stood up and saluted Christina, then sat down, "I'm not going to be mad about this. And Prince MacDonald is targeting me just because he likes Princess Dale. ”

"Dale's biggest feature is that she can make everyone like her. And you...... It seems that anywhere, it can be the focus of attention.

Let Sinclair pour the wine, I'm afraid only you can do it here, and dare to do it. ”

Luke laughed and said, "I have a good personal relationship with Sinclair, and if he asked me to treat him as a friend, I will treat him as a friend." ”

Christina looked at Luke with a look in her eyes that wanted to see him through.

"You're special! If it were me, I would never dare to come to this ball, but immediately leave the imperial capital and return to Angry Waves City. ”

Luke also looked at the young queen and asked with a smile, "I don't understand what you mean, why don't I dare come to the ball?" ”

Christina dodged her eyes as Luke's gaze looked at Dale on the stage.

"Dale turned down all the men who invited her to dance, and you were probably the only one who danced with her at her bar mitzvah.

The palace will float for three days, and everyone will have to stay here. If you want to leave safely in three days, let Dale like you.

Dale is the only one who can make him soft-hearted, and that's my advice to you. ”

Luke said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reminder, but I don't need a woman to protect me. Now that I'm here, I'll be able to go out on my own.

The pressure is not on me! ”

Christina looked at Luke again, with a different look in her eyes: "I finally understand why you made him pay so much attention to it, and even let the palace fly to show his strength." But evidently you were not intimidated by this might, and I did not see in your eyes your reverence for the imperial power.

If he were young, he would have killed you at all costs. But he no longer had the courage he once had, and he didn't even dare to face his aging body.

You're going to change this empire, you're going to change the world, and you're probably going to change ......."
