Chapter 13: The Court Ball
Queen Isabel also said excitedly: "Lloyd, I miss you too! It's been three years, you are still the same, you haven't changed at all, hehe!" At the end of the hug, Lloyd smiled: "Sister, you are the same, ah, this beautiful little princess, is it my niece Linya? God, Linya has grown so big and so beautiful? I almost can't recognize it!" Lloyd exclaimed and moved his gaze to Linya, a pair of lustful eyes rolling on Linya.
What a nasty gaze! Linya felt disgusted in her heart, but he was his uncle, so he couldn't be too rude, Linya smiled slightly and said, "Yes, uncle, hello!" Lloyd hurriedly helped her up, looked at her carefully, and said, "Ah, my little niece has really grown up, how beautiful it is! It's so glad to see you!"
Oh, don't...... Linya secretly complained in her heart, but thinking that her mother was on the side, she couldn't save her face...... In desperation, Linya could only smile bitterly and close her eyes. Pity my first hug, I actually let this hateful and ruthless uncle take it away, huh...... Fortunately, the arms that had just been saluted were still clasped on their chests, blocking important parts, so that the perverted uncle did not take much advantage.
In Linya's memory, this Uncle Lloyd is indeed a big pervert, the queen has changed several times, and because of the excessive romance when he was young, he has not been able to have children now.
Fortunately, Lloyd's hug only lasted a few seconds before it ended, and Queen Isabel was still staring, she obviously knew everything about her brother. A group of aristocratic maidens rushed up and returned to the palace with the two princesses and the king. The welcoming people along the road cheered the names of the two princesses and threw the petals in their hands vigorously, which was really enthusiastic.
The enthusiasm of the people of Sachonia is not without reason, you know, without the Momiji Empire, their country would not be where it is today. The Kingdom of Sachonia was originally just a small country on the coastal plain in the northwest of the Earth's Heart Sea, and since the marriage with the Red Leaf Empire, the kingdom has continued to expand, and the fundamental reason is actually related to the color of this Lloyd.
The succession to the throne of the Kingdom of Sachnea is relatively special, and both princes and princesses have the right to continue, but the prince has priority over the princess, and the princes are ranked according to their age. The previous king had only two children, Lloyd and Isabel, who was younger than Isabel but still the first in line to the throne.
Later, after Princess Isabel married the prince Herman of the Momiji Empire, she lost her inheritance. However, after Prince Lloyd ascended the throne as the new king, he was unable to have children due to the excessive romance caused by his youth. In this way, according to the royal succession law, the child of Princess Isabel, who is the closest in blood, has the right to inherit the throne first.
By this time, the prince of Herman had become the Herman Emperor. Emperor Herman has a total of five children, except for the youngest Princess Linya, the other four princes have long been driven out of the palace by Emperor Herman and have gone to become lords in various places, among which the fourth prince Orlante has been studying at the Haitian Academy of Magic because of his obsession with magic, and has given up his territory.
Of the five children, only the eldest prince Jax, the fourth prince Orlando and the youngest princess Linya were born to Empress Isabel, while the other two Naverlì II and Eisley III were the result of Emperor Herman's youthful romance.
Alas, why don't these powerful men have a good thing? Linya felt very puzzled, isn't there a good man in this world? But Xiao Yuan doesn't seem to be a good thing, otherwise the creator god wouldn't have punished himself so viciously, and the remnant thought ...... When a man has money (power), he becomes bad, this is really a wise saying!
Fortunately, Empress Isabel was not so unreasonable, and after confirming the lineage of the two princes, she recognized the princely status of the two princes, but on the condition that they had to take the surname of Landis Sevia instead of using their own mother's surname, and as a condition for being recognized as royalty, the two illegitimate children were required to swear to the gods that they would completely renounce any inheritance and possibility of succession to the throne, and that they could never leave their territory for half a step.
Landis is the royal family name of the Momiji Empire, and Emperor Hermann is Landis V. Seville, on the other hand, is the royal family name of the Kingdom of Sachnea, which is also the family name of Isabel. After the Herman Emperor reached an agreement with Empress Isabel, he seemed to have reined in his romantic temperament from then on, and was at ease in managing the country and educating his children, and it was a good thing that there were no more anecdotes about the affairs.
Now the king of the Kingdom of Sachenia has no heirs, and the first heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Sachenia is Prince Yaxrantis Sevia of the Momiji Empire, and then Prince Severia of Orlando Landis. Princess Linya Lantis Seville is in third place, and after Linya, there is another distant relative of the Sachchenian royal family.
Linya's right to inherit the throne is somewhat special, and if Linya marries a prince from a third country, then she will immediately lose the right to inherit the throne, just like Princess Isabel. However, if Linya marries a nobleman from her own country or the kingdom of Sachenia, she will be treated differently according to the provisions of the royal succession law according to the specific circumstances. Regardless, Linya still has the inheritance of Sachnea, who is also the princess of Sachnea.
After Emperor Herman found out about this, he began to help the Kingdom of Sachnea expand its power with confidence and boldness, and the Red Leaf Empire only needed to secretly support Sachinia behind his back, and he didn't need to do it himself at all, which also saved the empire a lot of trouble. With the strong support of the Red Leaf Empire, the Kingdom of Sachania has tripled its territory and population to one million people in the past ten years, becoming a regional power on the coast of the Northwest Heart Sea.
And the people of the Sachchenia Empire gradually accepted the coming fact that Saxenia would one day be peacefully incorporated into the territory of the Red Leaf Empire.
The palace had already prepared a qiē for the arrival of the two princesses, and after the bath, dinner began. Fortunately, there was no winged food at the sumptuous dinner, and it was obvious that the Red Leaf Empire had already noticed. The little phoenix Erinka even got a small seat specially set up for it next to Linya, and there were more than a dozen rubies and fire crystals in the delicate little silver plate, which made little Erinka scream, what a greedy little guy!
In addition to the three members of the royal family, the banquet was accompanied by several noble ladies. However, when someone was standing behind during the meal, Linya always felt extremely uncomfortable, and had to chew carefully and slowly when eating.
Finally, after dinner, Linya returned to the dormitory prepared for herself, it was getting dark, and she was thinking about whether to go out to have fun and enjoy the night scene, Queen Isabel had already walked in and said, "Linya, Uncle Lloyd's welcome ball for us is about to start in half an hour, are you ready?"
Linya was dumbfounded. Xiao Yuan on the earth is a poor boy who has achieved nothing, and the profound artistic act of dancing is naturally superfluous for him. "No, no, I'm tired and don't want to go!" Linya hurriedly prevaricated.
"Well, Linya, didn't you like balls the most, and this is for you, you're the main character!" said Queen Isabel strangely.
"I'm tired after a long day's journey...... I want to rest early!" Linya secretly complained. "That's right...... But if you don't go, your uncle will be very angry, Linya, hold on, and go and socialize a little, okay? If you don't want to dance, just sit down!" said Isabel after a moment's thought.
"Ah, that's okay!" "Alas, it's no more, no one can give face, but this mother's face must not be given!
The ball was held in the newly decorated palace hall, and when Queen Isabel led the little princess Linya, who was dressed as an angel, down the stairs, the whole hall seemed to lose its color at once, and the envious and jealous eyes of the women and the excited eyes of the men gathered together. Linya is now wearing a pink tunic dress and a delicate princess gold crown, which looks extremely noble and elegant, and immediately became the focus of the audience's attention.
After King Lloyd's welcome speech, the ball officially began, the music began to play, and some of the impatient dance partners were already on the dance floor. Lloyd walked up to the two of them and smiled, "Oh, Linya, my beautiful little princess, we have many sons and knights who want you to dance together." How about Uncle introduce you to some of the best ones?"
"No need, Lloyd, let them do it themselves, Linya may be a little tired today, she is not feeling well, don't force her. Isabel was already a veteran of this kind of social scene, and hurriedly stood in the way for her daughter.
"Oh, that's right, well, it's up to our little princess to choose her own partner!" said Lloyd, and floated towards the noble lady on the side. The knights and nobles who were waiting on the side rushed up one after another and invited Linya to dance. You must know that the identity of the princess of this empire is not simple, if you can get her favor, not only will you have more face, but you may also be able to fight for 50 years at once!
However, Queen Isabel blocked them one by one: "I'm sorry, Princess Linya is not feeling well today, next time, I'm very sorry!" Linya also smiled and apologized. However, although Linya had a smile on her face, she was very angry in her heart, in the eyes of those men, there were all kinds of expressions, obscene, lustful, those eyes seemed to look through her clothes, Linya only felt a chill in her heart, it was really disgusting! Alas, these stinky men ...... None of the good things......
Linya couldn't stand it anymore, and several times she got up and wanted to leave, but she was held down by Queen Isabel. Isabel also looked at her poor daughter distressedly, but the dance had just begun, and it was rude to leave so early.
At the end of the song, Lloyd came over and pretended to be surprised, "Oh my God, why hasn't anyone invited us to dance so beautifully?
Dizzy, what is this guy doing again? Linya smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, uncle, I really can't do it today." Lloyd said, "How can we let our dear little princess sit here alone!, I have heard that Linya is the best dancer in the city of Leia, and I look down on my uncle?"
Linya hurriedly turned her head to ask Queen Isabel for help, but Queen Isabel said, "Linya, you can dance with Uncle Lloyd!" Linya almost fainted, isn't this my life?
I'm done, I'm going to be embarrassed today! I don't know anything about the rhythm of the dance steps, but listen to what they mean, they all say that they are good at dancing, what can I do...... Linya looked at the gesture invited by Lloyd, and was stunned for a while: "Uncle, I really can't......" Lloyd still said with a dead face: "It's okay, if you think your uncle can't dance well, just step on your uncle a few times!"
There was no way, only to temporarily cram, digging something out of memory. Linya took his hand with a bitter face and stood up. When the two entered the dance floor, Lloyd unceremoniously hugged Linya's small waist, and Linya was numb and nauseous again, and she almost didn't collapse. 555 Pity my Bingqing Yujie body, today I actually let this pervert uncle hug and hug, take advantage of it, it's really infuriating!
Calm down, calm down, if you mess up your mother, you will lose face! Thinking of her mother's care and love for herself, Linya can't make it difficult for her mother! Linya simply didn't think about anything, closed her eyes, and let her memory control her body.
The light music started again, and the rhythm of my memory jumped with it. The first step is to begin...... Take a small step back with your left foot...... As if correct, Linya could still feel Lloyd's right foot take a step forward although her eyes were closed. Okay, don't care about anything, go with the memory, Linya relaxed her body and let her body dance to the rhythm of memory.
The cooperation between the two gradually became tacit, and Linya could finally breathe a sigh of relief. But Linya didn't have time to be happy, but she felt something strange, Lloyd's hand that was originally around her waist seemed to be slowly moving downward, and it had gradually crossed the cordon! Linya quickly opened her eyes and glared fiercely at this lustful old uncle.
Queen Isabel also coughed at this time, and Lloyd hurriedly put away the obsessed pig brother, and the strange hand behind him slowly moved back. Linya felt like goosebumps all over her body, and she really wanted to step on it hard! Mom, Mom, I'm all looking at your face, otherwise...... This hateful pervert uncle actually eats his niece's tofu, and he really deserves to be cut off!
The song seemed to be particularly long, and by the time the music finally ended, Linya was already panting. Oh my God, I'm going to be tired! The fierce applause rang out, and the people praised one after another: "Ah, Her Royal Highness the princess is dancing so beautifully!" "Yes, it looks like a beautiful elf!" "Wonderful, wonderful!"
Lloyd took Linya's little hand and sent her back to Queen Isabel, and immediately someone came up to invite her. Linya hurriedly got up, clasped her arms in front of her chest, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I'm really tired, next time, next time! I'm very sorry! Uncle Lloyd, I think I have to leave in advance, please forgive me!"
Lloyd said with a look of pity: "Oh, in this case, I really can't force you anymore." Okay, Linya, you go and rest early, then uncle will have to wait until tomorrow night to learn Linya's niece's superb dancing skills!"
Linya was so frightened that she hurriedly took Isabelle's hand, apologized to everyone again, and hurried back upstairs.
Falling on the bed, Linya didn't dare to think about the daytime anymore. 555 is really a big loss today! The hand let the guy touch, the waist was hugged, and he was hugged once, and he was ...... When I think about it, I hate it so much, and I can't have a seizure, I'm angry, I'm angry!
Alas, being a woman, it's really tiring, being a princess...... It's going to die!
