Chapter 50: The Burning Church
The guests who attended the warm-up dance all stayed at Swan Castle as a blessing in disguise.
Although, many guests said that they did not want such a great 'blessing'.
But after the knights of Swan Castle showed their swords, these people still tearfully 'thanked'.
As soon as Li Elli returned to the room, her eyes were fixed on Arthur Cold Emerald.
The Duke calmly hung the ribbon and coat on the hanger, then sat down on the single sofa, picked up "Prince Thomson's Revenge" that he had read twice, and continued to read it.
Ellie Lee: "Are you ......?"
The Duke looked up at her.
Li Aili hesitated and asked, "Have the talent of a crow's mouth?" ”
Duke: "......"
Li Elli let out a long sigh, "Hey, I always felt that this thing would not be over." ”
Others don't know, but she saw it, and Miss Sophia was designed.
Did the Grand Duke of Nanjun also guess it?
Otherwise, why would he detain everyone.
"Today," Li said tentatively, "aren't you going to drink with him?"
The Duke calmly flipped the page, "The current situation is, I know that he has just been cuckolded. ”
"He knows I know he's cuckolded."
"Do you think Brandon would be able to sit down and drink with me in this situation?"
Ellie Lee: "......"
Li Aili weakly removed the hair ornament from her hair, "You say, why did he detain the people of the Bright Holy Court together?" ”
The Duke flipped a page of the book, "If I were Brandon, I wouldn't let go of the people of the Holy See of Light." ”
"Why? This is not an offense to the ......," she swallowed back.
I forgot about the one in front of me, but because the cardinal first stepped on his left foot when he entered the door, he turned his face.
After lights out.
Li Aili lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
She gently patted the "38th line" between the two of them, a huge cushion.
"Did you sleep, next-door neighbor?"
Duke: "......"
"Oh, I'm just asking, you say, will the Duke of Pomegranate let us go tomorrow?"
Duke: "...... Tomorrow is his birthday. ”
"If all the guests are gone on his birthday, the scandal will be in the newspapers of the kingdom the day after tomorrow."
"Well, then you say, he ......."
"If you don't want to sleep, I'll be happy to get rid of the pillow that gets in the way, and then we'll have a good talk."
"Good night!"
……
The next day, the servants of the castle were busy early in the morning.
If it weren't for the watermelon-colored bubbles on top of their heads, Li Aili would have thought that what happened at yesterday's dance was an absurd dream.
Breakfast was served in the room.
Obviously, the Duke of Pomegranate didn't want the guests to leave their rooms without permission.
Li Elli picked up a piece of baked crispy croissant, "What the hell is he going to do here?" ”
Arthur, who had finished shaving his stubble, came out of the bathroom.
Elle Lee, who was holding a croissant, saw a very obvious blood mark on his left side of his jaw.
Can a knight of the platinum rank shave his face if he shaves his beard?
It's as ridiculous as saying that cooks don't know how to use kitchen knives.
At this moment, Li Aili thought a lot.
Arthur Emerald was not as calm as he appeared.
This made her suddenly a little worried.
What the hell is the Duke of Pomegranate going to do?
She struggled all morning, until noon, when there was a knock on the door.
In addition to the servant who delivered the meal, there was one more person outside the door.
Mark, the internal affairs officer, had two dark circles under his eyes and gave Li Aili an inexplicably distressing smile.
"Your Highness, please go to the study for a while." This was said to Arthur Cold Jade.
Arthur picked up the coat and ribbon hanging on the shelf, hung them on his arm and said lightly, "I'll be back in a while." ”
Li Aili frowned slightly and looked at the ribbon.
Do you need to dress so formally for a private conversation?
Li Aili said: "Then I'll wait for you to come back and eat together." ”
The figure of the duke, standing in the doorway, paused slightly, and then left without looking back.
After a while, the door opened.
The duke, dressed in a coat and a ribbon, returned to the room.
Li Aili put down the "Nanjun Weekly" that she was using to pass the time, "Ah, the food is a little cold, do you need someone to help you warm it up?" ”
The Duke approached the bedroom directly, and while taking off his coat, he whispered, "I'm a little tired, sleep for a while." ”
Li Aili reminded: "It's the birthday banquet of the Duke of Red Pomegranate at night, don't sleep too long......"
She wanted to say that she was careful not to have enough time, but the truth was that even the clothes of the male nobles were cumbersome, but they really saved a lot of trouble than the women's 'equipment'.
The Duke slept until the feast began.
Ellie Lee had already begun to sit in front of the vanity mirror for the final procedure.
After struggling with the complicated hair ornaments for a long time, it was getting dark.
The servants of Stewanstein Castle politely knocked on the door to inform them that it was time for the Grand Duke's birthday feast.
The Duke stood up and walked out of the room first.
On the way, Li Aili walked quickly to the duke's side and said in a low voice: "I don't think this is like a banquet. ”
The Duke frowned, "Oh? What is that like? ”
Li Aili complained: "It's more like a prisoner in a prison." ”
The Duke chuckled, "Huh." ”
Li Aili frowned slightly, there was a very strange feeling, but she couldn't say what was strange.
In the palatial Swan Castle, the nobles dressed up one by one.
They mingled and chatted with each other, enjoying wine and food.
It doesn't look like he's been forcibly detained in Swanstein Castle for a day.
Ellie Lee: "......"
She looked around, but she didn't see the owner of this birthday feast, the Duke of Red Pomegranate.
Oh, and the people of the Holy Court are not there.
"Ah, the Duke of the Red Pomegranate didn't show up." Li Aili said in a low voice.
The duke beside her smiled and said, "What happened yesterday, he may not be in the mood to deal with this kind of scene for the time being." ”
That weird feeling came again, and Li Aili frowned slightly.
"I mean Duke Red Pomegranate, originally, I wanted to sell him my alchemy products."
The duke beside him said with interest: "Oh? What alchemical products? ”
Li Aili said: "Haven't you used it?" Last time, I gave three ...... in the dark prison You know. ”
The Duke suddenly realized, "Oh, that'......"
"I remember, that one was called ......"
Li Aili reminded speechlessly, "[Forgetting Elixir]. ”
She glanced at the guests around her, "One bottle per person, no one remembers that the Duke of Pomegranate wore a green hat the day before his birthday." ”
"Not this time, you can do this business with him later."
At this time, the band began to play beautiful dance music.
The Duke said: "Since the 'protagonist' is not here, let's do today's opening dance, dear." ”
Li Aili remembered the picture of the two dancing yesterday, and her cheeks burst red, "Still, are you still here like yesterday?" ”
The duke suddenly remembered something, looked at her and smiled, "No, today we will change to an easy dance." ”
With that, he walked over to the band and talked to the conductor.
Soon, the dance music was replaced by a very cheerful tune.
The Duke dragged Lee to the middle of the dance floor, and the two of them intertwined their arms and began to ...... Circle in circles.
Li Ailie lifted the hem of her skirt, and the strange feeling in her heart climbed to the peak.
Would Arthur Cold Emerald do such a cheerful, enthusiastic dance?
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they take root.
Li Elli looked carefully at the duke, who was dancing merrily.
It's still that handsome face, but it's just ...... The whole body gave her a sense of disobedience.
What could be wrong......
Until Li Aili saw the man's smooth chin, and there was a smooth piece of left jaw, and there was nothing.
Of course, drinking the healing potion can also make the wound heal quickly.
But for the current dukedom, a bottle of healing potion is equivalent to a knight's 'one life'.
The Arthur Cold Jade that Li Ali knew would never waste his precious healing potion on such a thing.
In an instant, Li Aili only felt a chill rushing up from the soles of her feet.
Her dancing moves had become messy, and if it weren't for the quick eyes of the 'Duke' who was dancing with her, she would have almost crashed into the person behind her.
"What's wrong with you?" The 'Duke' asked softly.
After dancing, Li Aili and the 'Duke' quietly withdrew, her back stiffened, and her heart beat like a kitten that had been making noise inside.
"Why are you sweating so much?" The Duke leaned over slightly, squinting at Li Ellie's expression.
At this moment, someone exclaimed, "Look! It's on fire there!! ”
A lot of people near the window leaned in.
"My God of Light! Isn't that the Sanctuary of Saint-Sayre!? ”
The guests looked out their windows in shock at the cathedral in flames.
Li Ailie also rushed over.
The Sanctuary of Saint-Sail rises into the sky, and at this time, it is like a burning torch.
The night was reddened by the skyrocketing fire.
"My God of Light...... It must be because of that hypocrite! This is God's sin! A member of the Light Sanctuary beside him cursed angrily.
Li Aili looked at the sky-rushing firelight, and her heart was numb.
This...... Does it have anything to do with him?
