Beautiful music resounded in the Lingwan Auditorium, the boys wore their most luxurious clothes, adhering to the etiquette of a gentleman, and the girls wore dresses, showing off their wonderful figure to the greatest extent.

Bright candles flanked each other, heavy doors kept out the cold outside, and every musician on the bandstand in the hall was a highly accomplished musician who wanted to be able to play the best music in front of the king.

The tables on both sides are filled with a variety of dishes and opened wines for people to use, the delicate blue headlamps flicker slightly, and the blue curtains on a row of floor-to-ceiling windows hang on the ground, with the light and shade of the lights, giving people a hazy and misty feeling.

In a cheerful tone, the boys make a beautiful curtsy and invite their beloved lady, which is the best opportunity to perform, both for the family and for themselves.

Promise sat next to his father Nolan, neither drinking nor eating, constantly looking around, many girls invited him to touch the dust, but he refused without hesitation.

"What's wrong? You're a little absent-minded. Nolan asked, turning his head.

"It's okay, I just don't really like this kind of occasion. The promise replied carefully and carefully to his father.

"I know you hate this kind of occasion, and I don't like it very much, but you shouldn't refuse them like that, and I think you should understand that you should go find a girl to dance with. Nolan patted him on the shoulder and said, his eyes glancing at Princess Violet who was sitting next to the king.

Promise looked for a while and didn't see Xiao Shu, but it was not a way to sit down like this, so he had no choice but to stand up and walk towards the king, but when he turned around, he saw Nolan talking happily with the other princes.

Many of the boys who wanted to try their luck were rejected by Princess Ziluo, who did not need to consider the status of the other party, because she was already one of the highest-ranking people in the kingdom, and in front of this king, they could not even speak fluently, let alone invite her to dance.

Promise walked up to the king, he wore a bronze crown that didn't look expensive at all, even cheap, and stared at Promise with eagle-like eyes under his long gray hair, his left hand hidden under his robe at all times and in all places, and Promise had heard his father tell him how the old man had obtained the throne.

It was a completely bloody killing, not only to outsiders, but also to his own family, everyone thought that this person was crazy, if he became a king, he must be a tyrant, but he showed extraordinary wisdom, repeatedly led the army to fight, forced foreign enemies to retreat, in the governance of the country, is much more clever than the previous king.

The old man gave up the name of his illegitimate son and gave himself a new name, Ye Bei, full of legendary first half of his life, which made Promise be in awe of this old man.

"Promise, I don't care who Shiro wants to dance with. Ye Bei asked with a smile, raised the glass of red wine that Ziluo poured for him, and took a sip.

Promise stared at the glass of red wine in Ye Bei's hand, for some reason, the uneasiness in his heart became heavier and heavier as Ye Bei drank this wine, and until now he had never seen Xiao Shu's figure, and a dark cloud hung over his heart.

Promise knelt down on one knee, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Dear Your Majesty, I wonder if I can invite your daughter to dance together?"

"Get up, it's useless for you to ask me, you have to ask Ziluo. Ye Bei nodded, motioned for Promise to get up, and looked at Zi Luo sitting beside him, Promise This child is different from other noble young masters in his eyes, not only is he the son of his friend, but also has no bad habits, he is clean and self-conscious, and his talent is also amazing.

"Princess Ziluo, would you like to dance with me?"

Promise turned his head to look at Ziluo, his afterglow was on the moon on the side, but the sense of disobedience that the moon gave him before seemed to have disappeared, as if it had become the moon he was familiar with again, and whispered to Ziluo on the side, "Promise him quickly." ”

Shiro smiled slightly, stood up, and stretched out his hand towards the promise.

Promise nodded, stood up, and gently grabbed Ziluo's hand with his left hand, as if he were dealing with fragile glass, gently, and slowly wrapped his right hand around Ziluo's slender waist.

Yue quietly gestured to the promise on the side, and said with a mouth shape, "Come on, I'm optimistic about you!"

In a cheer, the two stepped on the tune, left Ye Bei's side, and came to the center of the hall, everyone's eyes were attracted by these two people, the duke's son, the king's daughter, what a match, the surrounding lights began to dim gradually, only the lights above the two of them were still as bright as ever.

Promise took Ziluo's hand, took a brisk footwork, accompanied by the tune, the two looked at each other, like a pair of lovers in love, delicate dance, perfect coordination.

But at this moment, the action of the promise suddenly stopped, and the beat couldn't help but slow down by half a minute.

He saw a person, Xiao Shu.

He saw Xiao Shu standing far away from the crowd, indifferently watching everything in the field, and then was covered by the crowd.

"What's wrong?" asked Zi Luo softly, although she didn't notice it, but she could feel it, and her hand was a little stiff, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Nothing. The promise pulled Violet back, and Violet stood on her tiptoes, spun and fell into his arms, and the dance ended amid the cheers of everyone.

For some reason, the originally beautiful tune became a little weird in Promise's ears at this moment, and there seemed to be other tunes hidden in this tune, not only was it not half beautiful, but it had a touch of desolation, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Promise easily opened the hand holding Ziluo, and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry Ziluo, I'm a little tired. ”

"Hmm. Zi Luo nodded, lifted her skirt, and returned to Ye Bei's side with small steps.

It seemed that something was happening, but he didn't notice it at all, this feeling made the promise very depressing, and the originally beautiful music sounded very weird to him, but the feeling that Yue and Ziluo gave him became normal, as if the previous mistake was just his own delusion.

Promise thought about it and didn't come to a conclusion, he wanted to find Xiao Shu, but there were too many people at the moment, and he couldn't find it at all for a while, and he just wanted to go back to his father......

"Green leaves, fall on your forehead, erase the marks, yellow leaves, fall on your clothes, wounds covered, red leaves, fall on your grave, draw down the curtains, tonight, heavy rain fills the hall, dilutes the blood, tomorrow everything will be as it was ......"

Promise suddenly heard someone singing softly in his ear, like a thunderclap in his head, he remembered, he knew where he had heard this tune.

Falling Leaf Song, the first king died, when Ye Bei was fighting for the throne, he specially asked people to compile a tune, during the battle of pacification, this song was the death knell, and the promise was very curious at the beginning, so he flipped through all kinds of musical scores, and finally found the score and lyrics of this piece for him, and he played and sang it by himself in the room, because of this matter, Nolan smashed his piano, so that he was not allowed to play this tune again.

Promise felt creepy, a chill rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he looked up to see who was singing.

"Bang!"

The door was opened, a cold wind blew in, extinguishing the surrounding candles, the lights in the hall were smashed by something, the broken glass ping-pong bells fell to the ground, and I don't know who it hit, and the crowd let out a burst of exclamations, and there was chaos in the darkness.

The rest of the music then stopped, but the melody of the fallen leaf song still did not stop, melodious and desolate, cold and cruel.

I heard it myself, so how could the king not hear it?

Everything converged in Promise's mind, and he finally understood what the other party wanted to do.

If Yue and Ziluo have already been dropped, then the other party only needs to take this opportunity to kill Ye Bei, so that Yue can inherit the throne justifiably, this ball is not only a school prom, but also a killing prom, as soon as the king dies, everyone present will not be able to escape, and then this month only needs one sentence to let everyone present be buried with him.

Promise was very anxious in his heart, but in the darkness, he couldn't discern the direction at all, the panicked crowd made it difficult for him to move an inch, and the tone of the fallen leaf song made him more and more upset.

"What man!?"

"Protect Your Majesty!"

"Ah......h

The heart-rending screams were drowned in the music, and the guards were completely powerless, their armor shattered and slammed into the rows of tables, cups, wooden spoons, flasks, and dinner plates, blood and red wine all over the floor of the hall.

Ye Bei stared coldly at the person in front of him, even if it was pitch black, he could still see the other party's face clearly, and he had sensed that something was wrong since this song sounded.

However, when he tried to get up, the sudden dizziness caused him to sit back in his chair, and this feeling of powerlessness gradually filled his body.

"Green leaves, fall on your forehead, erase the marks, yellow leaves, fall on your clothes, wounds covered, red leaves, fall on your grave, draw down the curtain, tonight, the rain fills the hall, dilutes the blood, tomorrow everything will be as it was ......" the man in front of him sang softly.

The cold dagger pierced into the waist and was pulled out, blood gurgling.

Ye Bei covered his wound in disbelief, no matter how suspicious he was and how vigilant he was, he didn't understand why the person he wanted to protect the most stabbed him at this time.

The man walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, you won't die now, you just need to lie quietly on the bed, and then wait for him to come, as for this country, how did you get it, I will take it." ”

In just a moment's effort, the teachers of the Spirit Law District cast a spirit array, and one after another fireballs hung in the hall, illuminating everything, and Promise stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

The hall was in a mess, everyone was pale, and at this time, the tune of the fallen leaf song also stopped.

King Beiye, lying in a pool of blood, Moon and Ziluo knelt beside him and wept non-stop.
