Chen Rui quickly came to the lobby of Lord Jinyao's mansion and saw Isabella and Veronica chatting cordially.
These two women actually have a lot in common. They both wear veils and are beautiful women. Well... although Chen Rui hasn't seen Veronica's face yet, at least the temperament of both women is top-notch.
Isabella gave full play to the "attributes" of the former "Mandala Flower", showing an elegant and confident demeanor regardless of her behavior. If there was a man nearby, she would have looked straight at her now.
.
Based on Chen Rui's familiarity with Miss Yi Ni, he could tell that her aunt had entered a special state of "war preparation" because the woman opposite her was also perfect and excellent, which put a lot of pressure on her.
I'm just curious, why did Emperor Rex let Veronica teach etiquette? Is it a concession? Or is it another form of coercion?
"Cough..." Chen Rui coughed deliberately, and the two women's attention immediately shifted.
"Your Highness." In front of Isabella, Veronica's title obviously changed, "I have been ordered by Your Majesty to give His Highness some tutoring..."
"Teacher, please call me 'Arthur'," Chen Rui interrupted Veronica, "Yini is not an outsider, she is one of the guardians of the ancient civilization that I inherited, and she is also my most cherished wife.
.”
When Veronica heard the word "wife", her pupils shrank slightly, and a look of surprise flashed across her face.
"There should be a 'one' behind it." Isabella added with a smile, "I am not the only woman that your Highness values. Is that right?"
Chen Rui smiled awkwardly, and Veronica also smiled: "It seems that the 'little Arthur' has really grown up, right? My student and younger brother."
"'Little Arthur'." Isabella nodded solemnly. "That's a good name. I've always wanted to call it that."
The two women looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Chen Rui, who acted as a kind of mascot, could only be speechless.
Veronica praised sincerely: "Miss Ini's conversational temperament and style are rare in my life. She must be from a royal family. Your Majesty asked me to come here to tutor little Arthur in etiquette. It seems to be unnecessary."
"You are not a member of the royal family, I am just a remnant of a fallen country," Isabella said with a hint of sadness in her blue eyes. "Basically all my relatives are gone."
If we say that the etiquette of nobles and royals in the demon world, Ms. Ini, can be regarded as a professor, but if it is applied to the human world by force, I am afraid that her flaws will be exposed.
"No matter what it is, it has passed." Veronica's eyes showed a gentle look: "If Miss Yi Ni doesn't mind, I would like to invite you and little Arthur to participate in the study of court etiquette. Believe me and Yi Ni
Everyone can benefit from this, Miss."
"Is that okay?" Isabella returned to her original elegance and looked at Chen Rui with a smile.
Chen Rui could see that Miss Yi Ni's eyes clearly said "If you don't agree, you will die." At this time, could she still say "no"?
The study of etiquette was originally a boring thing, but with Isabella here and some well-timed episodes interspersed from time to time, it turned into a kind of fun.
Relaxing days always pass very quickly. Soon, the etiquette class in the morning was over.
"What a pleasant morning," Veronica declined Chen Rui's invitation to have dinner together. "Arthur, Innie, His Majesty's Guards have been waiting in the city, and they will escort me back. Don't worry.
If Your Majesty doesn't change his mind, I will come back in a few days. Or you can go to my Ziyuan Palace. I also want Yi Ni to give me instructions on flower arrangements."
Isabella watched Veronica go away until she disappeared, and then she sighed softly: "That woman... Although she was smiling on her face, her heart had become a puddle of ashes. She concealed it almost perfectly.
, but she still can’t hide it from me. Because when I look at her, it’s like seeing my former self in the mirror.”
Chen Rui gently held Isabella's hand: "Everything has passed."
"I feel now that I was like that a hundred years ago..." Isabella stared into his eyes affectionately, "for today's happiness. Without the pain and torture before, I would not be able to be so happy today. It's very difficult.
Lucky to meet you, my love."
"It's also my luck."
Their lips blended together, feeling the warmth in each other's hearts.
"Hey, I have to go back and prepare lunch. Yesterday I learned a new dish called Pork Tenderloin Steak with Smoked Vegetables. I just want to try it on you."
“If you want to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach?”
Miss Yi Ni smiled sweetly: "Your stomach is not easy to catch. On the contrary, our poor sisters were caught in the stomach by the food you prepared early in the morning."
Chen Rui shrugged: "This can be understood as equality between men and women."
Isabella walked forward with a smile, and suddenly stopped at the door: "Chen Rui."
"kindness."
"That Veronica..."
"kindness?"
"If you can't help her reborn from the ashes, then help her... be completely annihilated."
"Yeah?"
"I know better than anyone else that that is the best relief..."
Chen Rui lowered his head and remained silent.
Time passes day by day.
On this day, Jinyao Territory finally welcomed the long-awaited "guest".
The Cardinal of the Church of Light, Gralin, was accompanied by a man and a woman.
Chen Rui also has two "guardians" to support the scene, Uncle Poison Dragon and his wife.
Gralin should be the most familiar person between the Church of Light and "Arthur" now. The cardinal looked cheerful and joked as soon as he entered the door: "Your Highness, I am glad to bother you again."
"I'm glad to be disturbed by Mr. Gralin again," Chen Rui's eyes quickly passed over the man and woman, and he smiled, "Looking at Mr. Gralin, I believe he has brought good news this time."
"It is indeed good news!" Gralin looked very confident. "Within three days, dragons from Dragon Valley will come to Jinyao's territory to discuss cooperation with His Highness on magic games."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up: "Great! Mr. Gralin, your arrival is simply a huge surprise! I can imagine how much effort the church...well, the Holy Familiar Peak has put into this matter. I promise
.Holy Familiar Peak and even the entire Church of Light will not regret this decision."
"So, His Highness's promise last time..."
"I will keep my word. Lord Gralin." Chen Rui nodded without hesitation, "After I obtain the two sacred objects from the Long Huang Empire and the Lan Yao Empire, I will accept the recommendation of the Holy Familiar Peak and join the Church of Light.
.Next month I will go to the Lan Yao Empire to participate in the engagement ceremony with Princess Lanbisi. The goal... is naturally the Holy Grail of the Lan Yao Empire, and I will need the help of the Holy Familiar Peak."
Gralin noticed that Chen Rui particularly emphasized the "Peak of the Holy Family", and the smile on his face became a little more: "This is natural. Please rest assured, Your Highness, no matter whether His Highness marries that Princess Lambis or this dragon
The throne of the Huang Empire has no conflict with joining the Church of Light. Well... I will first introduce two people to His Highness, this one is Miranda, the direct disciple of the Holy Lady."
Chen Rui looked at the blond woman with fair skin, beautiful facial features and a slightly cold face, and nodded slightly: "Miss Miranda."
He is actually "acquainted" with this girl with elf blood. When he was a follower of Paul in the Holy Mountain, he played a character who was proficient in the "language of the soul" and coveted Miranda.
Later, Eliza, who was also a disciple of the Saint, showed her ferocious face and used Miranda to set up a poisonous plan to seize Chen Rui's "Speech of the Soul" power. In the end, she was self-defeating and turned into an idiot with a mental breakdown.
Of course, Miranda didn't know that this popular figure who was being fought over by the three major factions of the church was "Richard" who made a big fuss in the Holy Mountain and stole the Snowdale tree that day. However, Prince "Arthur"'s eyes were very clear, without any distracting thoughts.
. This made the half-elf girl feel more favorable, and she saluted and said: "Your Highness Arthur, the teacher was originally going to come in person. But he was holding a baptism of light for a new disciple, which took a while. He couldn't stop in the middle.
, so I was sent here to extend my most sincere greetings.”
"The new disciple... is the Miss Tiffany that Mr. Gralin mentioned." Chen Rui mentioned casually. "Your Majesty the Holy Maiden is too polite. I should go to the Peak of the Holy Family to meet you."
right."
The news of "new disciple Tiffany" was exactly what Chen Rui got from Gralin. It was for this reason that Chen Rui instructed the Dragon King Pargoris to give the "authorization" of the magic game to the saint.
Yes, as for how many benefits Pargoris has gained, it is none of Chen Rui's business.
This magic game plan was planned by Chen Rui from beginning to end. For this reason, he also received many practical benefits that the three major forces were competing for. However, the game has its own rules. After this matter was finalized, he basically chose
Before the ability and strength of the Holy Familiar Peak reaches a certain level, it can no longer be sold among the three families as before.
Miranda said a few polite words, gave another salute, and said no more. Gralin introduced the black-haired man with his eyes closed to Chen Rui: "This is the Holy Light Knight of the Holy Familiar Peak, Lafayette.
you."
The three main peaks of the Holy Mountain have their own guardian knights, which are divided into three types: Bai Yao, Yin Hui, and Holy Light. Holy Light is the highest-level guardian knight.
Chen Rui stared deeply at this man, his eyes narrowed slightly, showing an extremely rare look of awe, and his voice even trembled: "I wonder if every Holy Light Knight is so special? Why am I in this Holy Light?"
The knight saw an unprecedented light on his body. It was so bright and sacred that it was impossible to look directly at it..."
Chen Rui's awe and trembling were naturally fake, so he couldn't help but stop pretending.
