Chapter 48: Shocking melons (on the shelves of the first change to ask for votes)
The nobles of the Clark Kingdom used to hold a small dance party to warm up the day before the official banquet.
As soon as Ellie returned to her guest room at Stewanstein Castle, she saw Arthur Emerald standing in front of the window, with his back to her.
"Where have you been?" He asked.
Li could see through the reflection in the glass, those deep blue eyes staring at the reflection in her window.
"I'll go for a walk in the back," said Li Ali paused, and asked casually, "I just saw you by the lake, did you see me?" ”
Arthur turned around and looked at her with blue eyes, "No, you didn't see me. ”
Ellie Lee: "......"
"That's probably what I read wrong."
"Tonight, there's a little dance to warm up."
There is still some time before the evening ball, but if the ladies want to dress up, I'm afraid it will start now.
"Ahh Then I'm going to hurry. ”
Li Aili was about to start changing her clothes, and at this time, the man in front of her, who was more than 1.9 meters, was very in the way.
"Aren't you going to go out and find someone for a drink?" Li Ellie smiled at Arthur Emerald Cold.
Hearing this, Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly, then slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, indicating his 'firm position'.
Ellie Lee: "......"
After tossing for three hours, Li Aili finally completed the 'costume change' without Joanna's help.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the process is 'chickens flying and dogs jumping'.
Fortunately, Arthur Cold Jade finally called a maid from Swan Castle to help.
Otherwise, Li Aili really felt that she was dying in the bathroom, and she couldn't figure out the mille-feuille dress to wear at the banquet.
After the maid came in, when she saw Li Aili's messy appearance, her little face turned yellow, and she lowered her head and quickly helped Li Aili comb a beautiful hairstyle, and then quickly arranged the complicated and beautiful skirt.
Looking at the beautiful and unspoken self in the mirror......
She touched the waist of the bee, which was almost broken by the corset......
If this is the price of becoming a 'little fairy', then she will still not come to the 'full set' in the future, she will not come to the full set!
Just strangled her waist, she was almost sent away.
The duke had already changed his clothes.
A gorgeous navy blue embroidered jacket, a beautiful lace white shirt, a day of bright red ribbons, and a few jewel-encrusted medals at the end.
The man gracefully put on his white gloves and slung his sword.
"My 'princess', please." He gentlemanly handed over his arm.
Li Aili measured the polite distance in her heart, and gently put her hand on the crook of the man's arm.
Out of the room door, the two were like a couple. I don't see at all that when I sleep, I have to use four or five pillows in the middle to build a 'three-eight line'.
"Duke Leng Jade, bring Duchess Leng Emerald here—" The ceremonial officer of Swan Castle said in a loud voice.
The originally bustling hall fell silent in an instant, and the eyes of the guests converged on the closed door.
With the dull sound of the ceremonial staff, the white phoenix wooden gate "creaked" open.
Then, they saw a couple that amazed them for the rest of their lives.
[Is this really a "mad lady"?! 】
[If the "mad lady" looks like this, I am willing to go crazy for her for the rest of my life!!] 】
【Damn!】 I'm so jealous of Duke Leng Jade! If I could sleep with such a beauty in my arms at night, I could die now! 】
As far as the eye can see, the pink and yellow ones are all 'bubbles' on the top of the male guests' heads.
The female guest is very recognizable, all "blood red".
[Ahh——!!hh Didn't you say that the madlady and the Duke of Leng Jade didn't get along?! Why did they come together?!!! 】
[I'm so angry!! Where did she put her hands??? 】
[Ahhh Go to hell! Go to hell! Why isn't the madlady dead yet!! You're going to die now! I'm going to marry the duke!! 】
Ellie Lee: "......" she rubbed her eyes.
Alas...... They are all a bunch of lambs who have lost their way in life.
It's a pity that this is not Xijun, otherwise, she would have been able to talk to them "all night".
Talk about life, talk about ideals, and inspire the ambitions in the depths of your soul.
Let's be a good pot friend together, isn't it fragrant to struggle for a career?
Then, these people with all kinds of thoughts came forward with polite smiles, and greeted her warmly, either to her or to the Duke beside her.
Of course, there are also those that do not tend to be inflammatory.
In the center of the hall, the Grand Duke of the Pomegranate held a wine glass and was chatting and laughing with the smiling cardinal.
The people of the Holy Court, they really can't wait to draw a "three-eight line" in front of Duke Leng Jade.
Especially Saint Michel, the moment he saw Duke Leng Jade, he directly performed a 'smile disappearing' technique on the spot.
Ellie Lee: "......"
Duke Leng Jade expelled a cardinal from the territory on the grounds of 'stepping on his left foot first', which really 'broken' the hearts of the papal see'......
"Oh~! Come on, my old friend, I have a happy event to announce to you. ”
The Duke of the Red Pomegranate leaned over enthusiastically.
He held his glass high, "Everyone, listen, I'm going to announce good news!" ”
The guests gathered and politely kept quiet.
"I'm getting engaged!"
Engaged......
It's like dropping a bomb on a calm lake.
The audience was amazed.
Among them was Li Ellie, of course, she was shocked by something else.
Li Ellie: "...... let me calculate how many women I have seen who came to slap the Duke of Pomegranate......
One, two, three, four, five...... Ho~ It's not even a double digit, it's okay. o( ̄︶ ̄)o
Then, she quietly glanced at the audience.
The male guests are all in a state of 'happy and popular'.
Probably because Nanjun's biggest rival is getting married, many men almost cry with excitement.
There are also many people who are actually praying to "wish" the future wife of the Duke of Red Pomegranate to be a tigress.
Li Li: "......" why should men be embarrassed by men, really.
There are a lot of melons on the female side.
The old and the young, most of them are 'rainy' above their heads.
A handful of 'thundershowers'.
Very few 'storms'.
Taken together, this amount still made Li Aili silent.
When she looked at the Duke of Pomegranate again, she felt that she was not looking at a person, but a refined 'Teddy'.
"Let me introduce you, Miss Sofina Rhein, my fiancée."
[Oh my God! It's actually the cardinal's goddaughter?! 】
Ellie caught a glimpse of a giant melon-shaped bubble emerging above the head of one of the guests.
The girl was very beautiful, and she had a shy smile on her face when she looked at the Duke of Pomegranate.
Then she turned her head to look at the loving cardinal, the famous Saint Michel.
A sweet honey-colored bubble slowly erupted above Miss Sofina's head.
[Dad, I will be happy~]
Ellie Lee: "......"
Li Li: "!! "I'll it!
She looked stiffly at Saint Michelle.
In this world where the true God exists, it is naturally impossible for the 'human agent' of the God of Light to be easily peeked into his mind.
Saint Michel's head went blank.
But his loving gaze says it all.
It's all true!
He is Sofina Rhein's biological father!
She seemed to have been struck by lightning and froze in place.
After the introduction, the Grand Duke of Red Pomegranate took the girl's hand and stepped onto the dance floor.
The two danced a waltz, and those present realized the freedom of dog food.
Li Aili couldn't swallow this mouthful of dog food, and she was now full of earth-shattering melons.
What is a saint?
The saints dedicate their bodies and minds to the God of Light!
Then the problem arises, such a saint has an illegitimate daughter.
The more Li Aili thought about it, the more her expression cracked.
It's true...... Absolutely!
Her appearance was obviously seen by the duke.
The two of them quietly left the banquet hall and went to the lounge next door to rest.
"What's wrong?" Arthur Cold Emerald asked.
Lee Ellie dragged her gorgeous skirt around the lounge.
"Who are Miss Sofina Rhein's parents?"
The duke said lightly: "She is an orphan, her parents were tragically killed in the 'Rebellion of the Three Kings', and then adopted by Michelle. ”
Ellie Lee: "......!!! ”
She took a deep breath and felt that this secret should rot in her stomach.
Turn around......
No way! Can't hold back!!
"You say, I'm just making an analogy, let's say, ha, there is a man who swears allegiance to God, uh, he made a small mistake."
"It's similar to accidentally having a good life with a lady, and then they accidentally have a daughter, and they accidentally give birth to the child."
"You say, in this case, will God forgive His believers?"
Arthur Leng Jade's blue eyes narrowed slightly, "That depends on which god it is." ”
Ellie Lee: "God of Light? ”
Arthur gently stroked a strand of Li Ellie's falling blonde hair, pinned it behind the shiny sapphire hair ornament, and said coolly, "That one will probably pretend not to know." ”
He leaned over to Lee's ear, "Unless, someone brings this to the fore." ”
