Chapter 64 The Ball(1/2)
Looking at Del, Queen Christina smiled. She took off the small silver princess crown on Del's head, took the slightly larger golden princess crown from the tray in the attendant's hand and put it on Del's head, and then carefully placed it on her head.
Fix your hair.
"When I entered the palace, you were still a carefree child, but in the blink of an eye you became an adult.
Soon you will have a husband who loves you, and you will have healthy and beautiful children with him. You will live a happy life like the princess in the fairy tale.
The ancestors of the Augustine family will bless you, your father bless you, and I bless you..."
Queen Christina and Del hugged each other intimately, but there was a sad look in their eyes.
She is also a princess, she has dedicated her life's happiness to the country, and will be trapped in this cold palace for the rest of her life.
The ceremony ends and the celebration begins.
The hall began to rise after a slight vibration.
The entire palace is floating, and the palace complex is lifted up by the base. Without the obstruction of the surrounding high walls, sufficient light shines in from all sides, and after passing through the special glass windows, it sprinkles golden light in the hall.
.
The space wall outside the palace was lifted, and the flying palace showed its majestic appearance to the entire Shenglun City, declaring the empire's supreme national power.
All the citizens of the imperial capital who saw the palace cheered, and fireworks rose from every corner of the city, pushing the celebration to a climax.
In the hall where young people gathered, three walls spread out to form a circle of suspended terraces. The palace attendants set up tables and chairs, food, drinks and parasols for people to rest, and the dance floor in the middle soon became empty.
The palace band played melodious dance music, and people around the dance floor were waiting for today's protagonist, Princess Del, to take the first dance.
According to the prior arrangement, Luke should have walked up to the podium to invite Dale to the dance floor. However, a young man walked up first. His clothes and accessories showed his extraordinary family background, and his expression was very arrogant.
He first walked up to Queen Christina, who was sitting in her seat, and bowed down to salute: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, my father asked me to bring him his thoughts about you. The wind in Lucien Bay is still as gentle and peaceful as ever.
This year is another good harvest year..."
While Queen Christina was talking to the young people, Prince Sinclair's grandson appeared next to Luke. He said: "That is the little prince Macdonald Luthien of the Luthien Kingdom, my... queen
's younger brother.
Oh my God! My grandma is younger than me. Without you, my aunt Princess Del would have married my grandma's brother Prince Macdonald.
Isn’t it confusing?”
"It's really confusing and I feel for you," Luke said.
Sinclair spread his hands and expressed that he was used to it. He said: "McDonald came on stage definitely for Aunt Dale. The first person to invite her to dance represents the support of the royal family. MacDonald must have wanted to pass it on."
The queen's relationship will take your place."
Luke looked at the people on the stage. Except for the queen, no other major royal family members showed up. Prince Acrylic was not in the imperial capital because he went to the Western Front; the eldest prince Fania sent Sinclair as a representative; Agatha never showed up.
It should be to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the palace and to deal with "emergency situations".
Qingkong didn't come either. As a deterrent, she should stay where she wanted to be.
However, the students of the Department of Occult Arts, led by Jennifer Ni, all came to participate in the celebration of Dai Er's coming of age ceremony.
Luke asked Sinclair: "You seem to dislike Prince Macdonald very much?"
"It's not that I don't like it. The Kingdom of Lucien is the granary of the Empire. The Empire provides military protection for the Kingdom of Lucien. The two families often strengthen their relationship through marriage.
I just think Aunt Del and you are a perfect match, and my father also hopes that you will become a member of the royal family. Of course, if you marry Aunt Agatha, it will be the same for me."
Luke smiled and said, "You seem to be eager to call me uncle."
"As the grandson of the emperor, I'm used to it... Look, that guy McDonald is about to make some moves!"
Luke looked towards the podium.
After Prince MacDonald ended his conversation with Queen Christina, he turned around and saluted Del, and extended his right hand to invite: "Beautiful Princess Del, the first time I saw you, I was fascinated by your beauty and purity.
.
Please forgive my offence, may I have the pleasure of asking you to dance?"
Dai'er was stunned for a moment. Obviously the process was wrong. Didn't they agree that the first dance would be with the meteor? She looked at the queen beside her, but Christina's eyes were glanced at the meteor below the stage.
Dale turned to Prince Macdonald and smiled and said: "Uncle Macdonald, I really want to dance with you, but you are my elder, and I can't dance with you for the first dance."
Macdonald's face changed drastically. Daier not only refused his invitation, but even directly kicked him out of the suitors because of his seniority. This was not just an embarrassment, it was simply humiliating herself in public.
.
But Dai'er looked innocent and innocent, as if she didn't know the meaning of what she said.
The scene was extremely embarrassing.
Fortunately, Queen Christina said at this time: "McDonald, don't joke with Del, everyone is waiting for the dance to start. You sit next to me, I have a lot of things to ask you about Lucien Bay."
With the Queen at his rescue, Macdonald sat gloomily on the chair brought by the attendant.
Sinclair in the audience smiled and said to Luke: "Go ahead, I think no one can lead Aunt Dale onto the dance floor except you."
"It feels like there is an extra enemy for no reason."
Luke walked towards the podium, he could feel Prince Macdonald's hateful eyes on him, and...
Queen Christina is also looking at herself, and she has been observing me just now.
interesting!
Luke came to the ceremony stage to salute the queen, and then extended an invitation to Del.
Dale obediently put her hand in Luke's, and then the two held hands and walked down the stage and onto the dance floor.
"Sister Agatha said that you have just learned court dancing."
"Yes, dancing is simply more difficult than dealing with the gang of thugs in the lower city."
Dai'er rubbed her fingers, sprinkled fluorescent powder, and several little fairies were summoned from the crystal powder: "It seems I can only dance some simple steps?"
Little fairies flew around the two of them, scattering starlight and ribbons of light.
The two held hands together, and Dale took a step back to the beat of the music, leading Luke into the rhythm of the dance.
The smoothness and silky feeling made Luke couldn't help but marvel: "You dance much better than the eldest princess."
"Of course, my grades in dance classes are very good. Sister Agatha was already managing the Secret Service at my age, and I have to face a full schedule of various classes every day.
Fortunately, my father allowed me to go to class with Miss Qingkong, and it was so interesting to study with so many classmates!"
Dai'er's dance steps were as light as an elf, which made Luke very relaxed, and he couldn't even tell that he was just a beginner.
"It seems that His Majesty has given you a lot of freedom, and even allowed you to choose the person you want to marry in the future. It seems that you don't need to escape from here anymore."
Dai'er came closer and said: "The freedom I was given can be taken back at any time. For example, this kind of dance is not what I want. Most people here are not here to bless me, but to get something from me.
I don't want to be like Christina, whose fate is ruthlessly manipulated by the people closest to her.
You promised me..."
"I promised you that I would take you out of this prison."
Dai'er smiled sweetly: "This is my Mr. Luke."
Luke and Del led the dance, and other noble children also invited their dance partners to enter the dance floor, and a joyful atmosphere filled the hall.
After the song, Luke and Del separated. Del returned to the podium, while Luke went to the terrace seating area to find a deserted place to sit down.
After the waiter poured Luke a glass of wine, a man sat down directly opposite Luke very rudely.
It's Macdonald.
He seemed to be cuckolding and hated Luke, and threatened: "Stay away from Del, the only one worthy of a princess is a prince!"
Luke picked up the wine glass, crossed his legs and leaned comfortably on the chair: "You're right!"
McDonald thought that the meteor was afraid of him, so he even said arrogantly: "It's good that you are self-aware!
I will tell my sister, your queen, and ask her to give you other rewards."
"Then thank you, Your Highness. If you have nothing else to do, please leave and don't hinder me from seeing the scenery of the imperial capital.
There are not many opportunities to overlook the entire city from the palace in the sky."
Luke's teasing tone gave McDonald a taste of it.
"Are you entertaining me?"
"Not arguing with idiots is my principle in doing things."
"You!" McDonald stood up angrily: "Meteor, do you know who you are talking to! You are just an acting governor, Lord, and I am the prince of the Kingdom of Lucien, and the Queen of the Empire is my sister.
.
Apologize, apologize immediately, otherwise I will punish you for insulting the Golden Shield Royal Family and the Lucien Royal Family."
Luke drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and then shouted: "Sinclair, come here."
On the dance floor, Sinclair was dancing happily with a beautiful lady. But when he heard Meteor calling him, he immediately dropped his partner and ran over.
"What's up?"
Luke handed over the empty wine glass: "Pour me a glass of wine."
