Winter is coming, and the white snowflakes are slowly falling.
The banquet hall of a grand duke was dimly lit, and the fire array under the wool carpet brought a peaceful heat here. The noble girls in cool clothes were like flowers and butterflies, accepting the compliments of everyone.
Su Luó was wearing the light pink made by her own tailor, her golden hair was scattered behind her head, and her blue eyes were crystal clear. She was sitting on a chair, with a decent smile on her lips, looking at Angus beside her. The prince and Princess Catherine were at war with each other.
There is only one throne.
If you want to get it, you must defeat the opponent.
“Miss Ruyi has become an intermediate magician in just half a year. She is really amazing.”
Lingnuo smiled gently and had a detached demeanor, but her green eyes were full of coldness: “Phil and I are only second-level magicians so far. Back then I brazenly said that I would defeat Ms. Yiyi, looking back now, it is really embarrassing.”
“Oh! Really.”
Su Luó calmly drank the warm coffee, not salty. Not lightly coping with it.
“Of course. Speaking of which, we still have a bad relationship with Ms. Yiyi. Phil and you are a former fiancée, so we can be regarded as sisters.”
Su Luó was confused: “Huh?”
Demonstration? To stabilize her position in Phil’s heart and warn her not to try to poach a corner?
“But since I’m a sister, how can I win someone’s love?” Lingnuo sighed faintly, and under Su’s puzzled gaze, she continued: “In this case, why don’t you let Phil and sister get engaged? Right.”
“…”
“I will definitely prepare a generous gift for my sister.” Lingnuo smiled gently and kindly, without any sadness or pain, as if she was sincerely happy for Su Luó.
Hearing this, Su Luó subconsciously cast her eyes on Phil’s face.
She saw the sharp young man with adult eyebrows and eyes, sitting upright, with a slight smile on his lips, and a faint melancholy in his eyes, charming and dangerous. But…not dissatisfied, but a little…happy?
Is it an illusion?
Prince Angus chimed in at the right time and said, “Sounds good. After going around for a while, he found that the one he love the most is the first person. What a beautiful love.”
Catherine’s eyes were sharp: “… Ruyi.”
Well, Su Luó finally understand the current situation.
Since she has the support of the Pope behind her, getting her approval is equivalent to having an extra backer of the Holy Palace. Although the Pope will not participate in the imperial power struggle on the surface, but a little trick secretly is enough to cause headaches.
Not to mention Su Luó herself, if anyone dares to hurt her, Yelder will immediately wash their whole family in blood.
In order to win her over, Angus directly resorted to beauty tricks.
Phil was the pawn that was pushed out.
Lingnuo was probing, showing that even if she agreed to this matter, she would never have any hatred, and let Su Luó choose as much as she wanted.
“It’s been more than half a year, why are you talking about it now?” The blond girl with blue eyes smiled slightly, her fair skin was as smooth as jade, but what she said made Angus’ complexion suddenly darken, “Compared to handsome young men, I now prefer delicate beauties.”
“Right? Karina.”
Su Luó winked playfully at the girl who was walking this way, stretched out her hand to grab her weak and boneless five fingers, Pretending to be affectionate: “Dazzling blond hair, eyes purer than emeralds, and a softer body than a tough man.”
Karina was surprised for a moment.
But she quickly realized that, following Su Luo’s strength, she sat obediently on her body, put her arms around her neck, and said intimately and ambiguously, “Honey.”
“Baby.”
“I love you so much. To me, you are the sun, the breeze, the air, and the first touch of emerald green after winter. It is so beautiful that I am deeply fascinated by you.” Karina said this in an exaggerated tone.
Su Luó looked back affectionately: “Me too.”
Karina is well-known in the circle as a vegetarian, and her male and female lovers are equally divided. However, she has not come out to hunt during this time, and at this time… Angus feels that he found the reason himself.
He secretly cursed two dirty words.
No wonder that after Su Luó took refuge in Catherine, Karina’s family immediately defected there and provided them with a lot of financial assistance.
It turned out that everything was because of this woman from the Calder family.
“Hehehe! Congratulations, Miss Ruyi, you have found true love.” Angus mocked a few words, then said to the two behind him with a dark expression, “Let’s go.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Phil and Lingnuo followed closely, subsequent departures.
Karina didn’t let go of this until they completely disappeared, sat across from her, winked and said, “How is it? My performance is not bad.”
“Very good, full marks.”
Exaggerated thumbs.
“So… what’s going on now? What did Prince Angus say that made you suddenly change your sexual orientation.” Karina asked.
Su Luó drank her coffee and explained everything in an orderly manner.
“Wow! This woman, Lingnuo, is really unbearable!” Karina gave a ‘tsk-tsk’ twice, “For the prosperity of the family, the victory of Prince Angus, let alone a mere fiancé, probably makes her gave her life, and she will not hesitate.”
Su Luópaused.
“Phil is the same. He was engaged to her because of Ling’s talent, but who knows that you suddenly broke out and suppressed everyone. Even if he didn’t show it on the surface, he probably regretted it in his heart.” As the Duke’s only daughter, Lingnuo has a wide range of sources.
She continued: “I heard that someone saw the two of them arguing in school before, and now it seems to be true.”
Su Yi nodded and said ‘hmm’.
“Then Ruyi, you won’t go there, right?” Karina tilted her head, the smile on her face disappeared completely, and her eyes showed a cold taste: “So many of us stand in line because of you, You can’t run away halfway and abandon us~”
“In this case, I will be very sad, so sad that I want you to go to hell with me.” The biggest backer on Princess Catherine’s side is Su Luó, once she leaves, Catherine will undoubtedly lose. Those families who have resisted Prince Angus will inevitably be pulled out to make an example of others when the dust of the throne is settled.
Su Luó looked back quietly.
She don’t know how long it took, the blond girl covered her mouth and smiled slightly, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, as if she didn’t notice anything wrong at all: “Of course.”
After speaking, Su Luó picked up the red wine next to her, and the red liquid was rippling under the light , she raised her glass to Catherine, her voice was not loud, but she was extremely firm: “To our Majesty the Queen, may the empire be more prosperous and prosperous in your hands.” What she said was so natural, as if Catherine succeeded to the throne already. Like it’s a solid fact.
Karina was stunned for a moment, and the smile returned to her face again. She made exactly the same gesture as Su Luó: “To Her Majesty the Queen.”
Catherine raised the red wine to the two of them, and the three of them looked at each other, something subtle slowly grow and germinate in the bottom of the heart until it grows into a towering tree. Slightly cool and mellow red wine, drink it in one sip, with an indomitable sharp edge.
After one night, Princess Catherine, who was still a little hesitant, grew up completely, and her whole body was fierce. When she stood with Angus, she even slightly lowered her head.
Karina’s father, Duke of Donner.
Increased money investment, and even secretly helped Catherine raise private soldiers in his own territory.
Everything, for the throne.
For the final victory.
On the other side, Prince Angus, everything is not going well, and his temper is getting more and more violent. Seeing that Catherine’s side has become stronger because of Su Luó, the malice in his heart can no longer be suppressed.
“I can’t wait any longer. Since we can’t win over, then…destroy her.”
He ordered in the dark: “You find a assassin man and go to the Calder family to kill her. Do it cleanly, and don’t be caught by the people of the Holy Palace.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” A familiar male voice sounded, and he walked out of the shadows, his amber eyes were crystal clear.
It was Phil Jackson.
Su Luó’s ex-fiancé.
