Chapter 386: Banquet (2)
"You ......"
Duke Arendelle was half-kneeling, and there was a feeling of weakness inside his body.
Blood dripped down to the wound in the abdomen, but it strangely defied gravity and flowed backwards as it fell into the air.
The strangely shaped blade shimmered, flickering like breath.
The regurgitated blood was absorbed little by little by the idol, as if it was swallowing slowly.
With each flicker, the next time the light seems to be a little brighter.
"Ahem......"
"Ah...... Miscellaneous...... ......"
The Duke of Arendelle struggled to raise his head, his gaze gradually blurring, but he still saw who it was.
Immediately, I couldn't help but look shocked and incredulous.
"Why ...... you"
There was a hint of confusion and confusion in his words, and it was not the maid who walked into the secret room, but his youngest son.
It was his youngest son who plunged a strange-shaped knife into his abdomen.
At this moment, Ashley faced his father, and his face was no longer slightly flattering.
Instead, he smiled with a terrifying horror.
Bai Sen's teeth seemed to be filled with endless chill, and there was a joy and excitement in his eyes that had succeeded in his plan.
"Old thing, why can't it be my ......"
Ashley first vigilantly tested whether the Duke of Arendelle still had the strength to fight back.
It's just that this concern seems to be somewhat unnecessary.
After all, he was kneeling on the ground now, and at this moment, the strength of his whole body found an outlet like a flood, involuntarily overflowing from the wound in his abdomen, and then it was greedily absorbed by the strange blade.
So the Duke of Arendelle didn't even have the strength to stand, and how could he talk about a counterattack.
And what's worse is that he found that even the power of the law that he had worked so hard to condense was gradually loosening.
This is the last bit of power of the Radiant Moon Warlock, and it is constantly being stripped out like a cocoon.
It can be said that now he does not have any hole cards that have been lost.
Ashley probed for a moment, afraid that Duke Arendelle still had some hole cards hidden.
But seeing that he did not move, he also let down the last bit of guard and walked in front of his father.
"Old thing, your current posture looks really impressive."
Ashley looked at him, and his father, who was once high up, would one day kneel in front of him.
This is something that I could never have imagined before.
But now it was happening in front of his eyes.
And he didn't expect his actions to be so smooth, and it seemed that he didn't even need to ask for help.
The smile on his face became more and more hideous, and he was about to continue talking, but he seemed to think of something.
First, he made sure that no one around had discovered this place, and then hurriedly added a few simple magic circles to block the sound and breath here.
It wasn't until everything was done that the murder was revealed.
"Old thing, it's good that you broke away from that troublesome maid, otherwise I wouldn't have had much chance of getting in touch with you."
"Do you think this counts as your own death?"
"Assert ......"
Ashley laughed as if he was smug, and he looked at the Duke of Arendelle on the ground with disdain.
】
"Ashley, you're my son, I think ...... I don't think I did you any wrong......"
The Duke, whose momentum was declining, muttered.
Even the current strength could not support him to continue talking.
"Disadvantage? No, no, no...... You think too much of the old stuff. ”
"You haven't treated me badly, I'm just resentful of why I didn't have a chance!"
Ashley yelled at his father with an ugly face.
"The eldest brother can't inherit it, and the nephew can't inherit it, can't you think about me?"
"If you have to hand over a huge family to a woman, how can you convince others?"
The Duke of Arendelle looked at his son with a somewhat strange gaze, as if he had only now become acquainted with him again.
He was silent for a long time, until Ashley thought his father was dead, and then spoke slowly.
Ashley...... How do you know I didn't think about you......"
As soon as these words came out, Ashley's body suddenly stiffened.
stared at his father's speechless gaze, and then his face turned red with annoyance.
The meaning of this was as if the Duke of Arendelle looked down on him.
Obviously, he can also revitalize the family, what is worse than that niece!
"Old thing, no matter what you say now, you don't even think about that Elsie taking the position of head of the house."
"Do you really think that everyone in the family will obey your choice?"
"You're old! You're about to be buried in the ground, and who else is willing to listen to you, huh? ”
Duke Arendelle closed his eyes slightly, and now he couldn't say anything.
"Not to mention, the weapon sent by the forces that believe in the new gods is really useful."
Ashley looked at his dying father and muttered to himself.
After all, he is a Huiyue Warlock, even if he is riddled with death, he is a real Huiyue.
It's unimaginable that a small morning star of his own can kill him with this strange weapon.
Hearing this, Duke Arendelle suddenly opened his eyes.
"As long as you die, then the forces that believe in the new gods will help me ascend to the position of head of the family, and then the Arendelle family can continue to rule the north."
"Ho ho ...... Ho ......"
He tried to raise his hand and point at his son, but Ashley was caught in the middle of it.
"You just watch slowly from the sky, the family will continue to release supreme glory under my leadership!"
Ashley's face swelled with irrepressible excitement, as if he thought of what was to come.
"Ho ho ...... Ho ......"
Duke Arendelle looked at his son with wide eyes, his fingers already raised in the air.
"You're ...... Scrapped ......"
The words were almost squeezed out between the teeth.
But halfway through his words, the attraction from the strange blade suddenly increased.
“……”
Duke Arendelle's body stiffened, and then he fell to the ground weakly.
Then the body continued to dry up, and it turned out that the strange blade was still sucking.
Ashley watched coldly from the sidelines, watching his body shrink little by little.
It wasn't until it was sucked into a dried corpse that it finally stopped.
He stepped forward and pulled the blade out with a slight pull.
And Duke Arendelle's body was also gently shaken, and suddenly turned into powder.
But Ashley didn't look at it, just stared straight at the weapon sent by the force in his hand.
Feeling the immense power inside, he slowly revealed a grim smile.
"Old thing, let your last strength continue to shine for the family......"
……
And now, in a hall above the secret room.
A grand banquet slowly kicked off.
The venue extends from the inside of the hall to the garden outside.
The bustling and lively banquet was brightly lit and staggered.
The visitors were brightly dressed, and the aroma of wine spilled from the colliding glasses, wafting through the noisy crowd
It's just that looking at the normal banquet, the atmosphere inside seems to be a little weird.
Several aristocratic ladies gathered together, shaking their wine glasses in their hands, and the bright red liquid turned slightly.
In between their friendly conversations, their eyes frequently looked to the center of the hall.
There is a deep excitement hidden in the beautiful eyes.
At that moment, there was a sudden silence ahead.
Then the silence quickly spread around, and the whole banquet seemed to be pressed on pause, and the excitement suddenly turned to silence.
The aristocratic ladies present had their eyes flashing and they all paid attention to the field.
But it wasn't the person he was concerned about.
There was a hint of loss on their faces, but they still pulled themselves together.
After all, it should be the young master of the Arendelle family after that.
At this moment, in the center of the hall, Elsie, who had been carefully dressed, walked slowly.
The crimson gown didn't look obtrusive on the body, revealing a large area of snow-white skin on the back, but it was obscured by a hair that fell down.
is obviously a girl in the flower season, but her temperament at the moment looks very elegant and calm.
Between the walks, the hair rubbed against the snow-white skin, attracting the attention of many teenagers.
There were also nobles who set their eyes on her, but not only admired Elsie's beauty, but with deep contemplation.
Because if she were to preside over the banquet, then this move would seem to be telling everyone that the heir of the Arendelle family had been chosen.
So after Elsie had spoken, many nobles took turns to laugh with her.
In the face of these people's overtures, Elsie also responded appropriately and showed his own charm.
This kind of girlish and mature temperament once again attracted the shy eyes of teenagers.
Soon, Arman also came on the pitch to say a few words, but he was clearly not interested.
When I walked down, I naturally blended into the aristocratic lady who had been waiting for a long time.
It was only in the presence of so many eyes that he could feel a hint of pleasure.
However, Arman's heart was still a little irritable.
Because of these well-dressed and beautiful young ladies in front of them, they can only look at it, and they can't get started.
After all, he is going to the imperial capital, and the family will definitely not let him leave anything here.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand a little irritably to disperse these noble ladies who gathered around.
Alman knew what these people were thinking, but unfortunately everything was not what they had imagined.
He was drinking red wine alone, and his eyes were gloomy looking at the very lively banquet scene.
Then there was a sudden commotion in the crowd at the gate, which slightly attracted Arman's attention.
He took a few steps forward, and then his body froze in place.
At this moment, Arman's eyes only looked at the figure that had just stepped into the banquet.
The slightly brown hair curls slightly and falls from the back of the head like waves in the vast ocean.
A little makeup is applied to the delicate and flawless face, and the eyes are thrilling and beautiful.
But the most attractive thing is the eyes that seem to be made of gold.
Under the light, it is transparent and clear, as if there are surging golden water waves.
The girl wore a dark black dress with delicate collarbones looming through the lace.
The skin is like snow, and it looks like a white lotus in full bloom under the surging lights.
The corners of the skirt flutter between walks, and the layers of folds sway a slightly charming arc.
Hiss......
Which nobleman's lady is this?
Why is it that such a perfect person has never heard of it himself?
Arman felt as if he was going to drown in the intoxicating beauty.
Get her, be sure to get her!
With such a cry in his heart, Arman's heart began to heat up.
The moment he saw her, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he first came into contact with a woman.
However, Arman felt as if he had seen this beauty somewhere, and had an inexplicable familiarity with her.
But since he has amazing beauty, he will definitely leave a memory.
Then he took a deep breath and was about to strike up a conversation with a nervous emotion.
……
"This beautiful young lady, the moment I saw you, a poem welled up in my heart, can I sing it to you......"
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested, so could you please get out of the way."
Cinderella coldly rejects nobles who want to communicate with her.
From just getting off the bus, this is already the fifth.
When I saw a circle of people around me, I complained endlessly to someone who started it.
She didn't want to be in this kind of environment, especially when she had to take off her glasses.
Cinderella, who knew her appearance well, naturally knew what kind of trouble she would have when she appeared at this kind of banquet.
If possible, she would have preferred to be in a quiet place by herself.
This kind of extravagant life has no meaning to me at all.
The rejected nobleman tried to ask Cinderella again, only to find himself pulled back and given up a position.
"What are you still pestering this beautiful young lady here?"
The man said righteously, and the nobleman who was pulled away felt that he had lost face, and there was a trace of annoyance on his face.
But when he turned his head, he found that he actually knew the person who pulled him apart.
The body shrank back slightly, and the anger on his face changed to flattery in an instant.
"It's Master Arman, I'm sorry I'm in your way, please, please."
Arman smiled, seemingly pleased with the nobleman's well-behavedness.
At the same time, she looked at Cinderella, only to find that her attention was not on her at all.
"Ahem......"
Arman coughed lightly, trying to catch her eye.
Sure enough, Cinderella's eyes looked at him, and then her small mouth opened slightly, only a cold word of aside.
Arman's face suddenly froze, as the young master of the Arendelle family, when had he been treated like this?
Could it be that she doesn't know who she is?
Arman frowned, but then relaxed.
Woman, you've managed to get my attention.
So he smiled and stepped forward again to talk.
Cinderella saw that the person in front of her wanted to continue pestering, and a trace of impatience flashed in her golden eyes.
His eyes flashed slightly, and Arman suddenly felt as if his heart was cold, and he was instinctively a little afraid of the girl in front of him.
I subconsciously wanted to take a half step back and get out of the way, but a flash of light flashed at an item in my arms.
Cinderella's influence was successfully neutralized.
