CHAPTER 166

Samielle Phoebe was dressed up to attend. As the heroine in the original book, she has an unparalleled appearance, especially her special long silver-white hair and beautiful pink eyes.

At this time, her long hair, as beautiful as the moonlight, was braided into long, loose braids, with the white divine flower Belanka pinned to the braids, making her face even fairer and more beautiful.

While walking, the long pink and white dress looked like layers of blooming petals, showing gorgeousness everywhere, attracting people's attention with every move she made.

Although her behavior in front of the Holy Church that day made people talk about it, it is undeniable that Samielle Phoebe does have unparalleled beauty.

One couldn't help but be fascinated and praised.

Now, some nobles in the hall couldn't help but think that perhaps one of the reasons why His Majesty the King chose Samielle as the Queen of the Saint Airo Empire was because of her beauty.

After all, having a beautiful wife is also pleasing to the eye.

Samielle put one arm in Warner's arm and looked at the crowd in the banquet hall unconsciously.

Warner whispered: "You are about to become my fiancée. Don't do anything outrageous tonight."

When Samielle heard this, she withdrew her eyes, lowered her head slightly, and whispered aggrievedly: "I know..."

She also understood that her current thoughts were extravagant hopes.

But... the moment she saw Lord Desinia, Samielle couldn't control her beating heart.

She started to get a little nervous.

Moreover, the distance between her and the Lord of Desinia was getting closer...

Samielle slowly realized that it was Warner who was leading her over. Not long after, they arrived at Lord Desinia's side.

There are more subtle glances coming from all around.

Xia Zuoyi held a wine glass in one hand and watched the male protagonist and female protagonist in the original book walking down the stairs holding each other's arms, and then came to stand in front of him again.

He nodded calmly and greeted politely: "Your Majesty, Miss Phoebe."

What are they doing here?

Warner said: "I am very grateful to the lord for coming to the empire to attend my wedding. The previous conflict between the empire and the Desinian territory was not my original intention."

"I also hope that the lord will not hold a grudge."

Xia Zuoyi: "If Your Majesty is referring to the war in Quince City, it is really no wonder that Your Majesty is responsible for the nobles in the border territories of the empire making their own decisions."

"Since so much time has passed, of course I won't keep it in mind."

Warner smiled and said, "That's good."

He signaled the waiter to bring the tray, picked up a glass of wine from it and said to Xia Zuoyi, "I hope the lord will have a very pleasant time tonight."

"Thanks."

After the two wine glasses collided, Warner drank the wine in one gulp.

Under the gaze of the people around him, in order to show etiquette and respect the king, Xia Zuoyi had no choice but to drink all the wine in the glass.

After Warner left with Samielle, Xia Zuoyi held his forehead and felt a little tipsy...

Too bad at drinking.

He had only had two drinks.

Xia Zuoyi found a table and put down his wine glass, not planning to touch it again.

He stood there and watched Warner take Samielle to talk to several nobles and distinguished guests from afar, then walked back to the spacious steps and began the specific speech process for the engagement ceremony.

He listened to the voices in his ears, but his eyes scanned the entire hall with curiosity and mild interest——

Thomas, the presidentof the Ed Chamber of Commerce, was also among those invited. Next to him stood his son Jared, who was tall and somewhat handsome, glaring at him...

Xia Zuoyi was confused, and then remembered what he had done before.

——He seems to have ordered someone to strip off the clothes of the president's son and the father of the heroine in the original book, and tie them together for one night...

It's a bad way, no wonder the president's son still hates him to this day.

Xia Zuoyi held his head in a daze, not paying attention to Jared's eyes, and started to look away again... Huh? Is that His Excellency the Pope? !

Seeing Xia Zuoyi finally looking at his position, Segalot raised the corners of his mouth and waved to him.

He was standing in a very hidden corner of the hall, surrounded by curtains. When everyone raised their heads and looked at Warner and Samielle, he stood up a little.

Then he saw Little Rose looking calm on the surface, but actually looking around in confusion.

He was clearly distracted and not concentrating.

Xia Zuoyi laughed.

His thoughts were actually still clear, but a little heavy, as if the wine was slowly fermenting until it filled his entire brain.

Warner was still speaking on the steps.

Xia Zuoyi thought that no one should be paying attention, so he left the table and walked towards the Pope.

After he left, Archibald, who had been standing not far away, discovered him.

Archibald knew that Xia Zuoyi's drinking capacity was not good, and he had never drank much before, but tonight he drank two glasses of wine mixed with vodka.

Discomfort is a given.

Archibald was a little worried. When King Warner started to speak, he was distracted by Xia Zuoyi. Now he found that he was walking towards a certain place, and he couldn't help but become confused.

The place where Segalot stood was in the blind spot of Archibald's sight. By the time Archibald followed behind Xia Zuoyi and walked over, the Pope had already disappeared behind the layers of curtains.

Behind the curtain is a terrace leading to the yard.

The courtyard connected to the banquet hall was also decorated by the waiters and servants in the palace. Blooming flowers were placed around the courtyard, and burning lights were erected on both sides of the path.

The hollow ironware serves as a support, with a semicircular iron basin placed on it, and firewood is burning crackling in the basin, making the surrounding environment warm.

Segalot stood under a tree that was sprouting branches.

He raised his head, his golden eyes looking intently at the greenery that had sprouted on a branch. His expression was indifferent, but his eyes were gentle.

He seemed to hear the sound of gentle footsteps. He turned his head and looked over with a pair of eyes loved by God.

Xia Zuoyi stopped suddenly.

At that moment, he didn't know how to describe his feelings.

He seemed to hear the sound of flowers blooming, the leaves sprouting and growing, and the spring water bubbling...

There is an uncontrollable feeling emerging from my heart.

Probably because everything around him was just right and the atmosphere was perfect, Xia Zuoyi couldn't help but speed up and walked towards the Pope. Finally, he stood in front of the Pope, pursed his lips and couldn't help laughing.

Segalot touched his earlobes that were slightly hot from drinking, and whispered: "Are you drunk?"

"Not drunk." Xia Zuoyi shook his head.

"I can still read numbers and see things clearly. When you stand in front of me, here are your eyebrows, eyes, nose... and mouth."

As Xia Zuoyi said that, he stretched out his fingers and crossed the face of the Pope. The heat on his fingertips seemed to be so scalding that it could set off a flame.

Finally, the soft fingertips came to rest on Segalot's lips.

Segalot's head moved slightly back and away from him, then he smiled and kissed Xia Zuoy's fingertips, and said, "I think you are drunk."

But he was not completely drunk yet, at least he was still conscious.

Xia Zuoyi retracted his finger and said dissatisfied: “I'm not drunk, I'm very sober now. "

It's just that his emotions were amplified by alcohol.

Segalot nodded along with his words: "Okay, you are not drunk. Do you want to find a place to rest?"

Xia Zuoyi: "This is the palace. How can there be a place for me to rest? Don't wander around."

He frowned and suddenly thought that the pope's surname was Augsig, and his middle name was Wordsworth. The original book seemed to mention that the pope had some relationship with the royal family of the St. Airo Empire.

However, there was too little description of the Pope in the original book, and Xia Zuoyi was not sure.

Segalot said: "I will take you to a place."

After saying that, he took Xia Zuoyi's wrist and left the courtyard outside the hall.

After the two left, Archibald slowly walked out of the dark place where the lights could not reach. He looked at the backs of the two people gradually moving away, with an unclear expression.

The firewood in the brazier suddenly crackled, and the firelight flickered across Archibald's face. Although it was only for a moment, it also illuminated his gloomy lake-green eyes.

After a while, a servant passed by the courtyard. He noticed Archibald standing in a slightly dark place, and walked over to salute. However, when he raised his head, he was startled by the expression on the prince's face.

…………

Segalot took Xia Zuoyi through the courtyard, corridors, and countless rooms... The guard knights, servants, and waiters he met along the way saluted respectfully.

They seemed accustomed to the pope's presence in the depths of the palace.

Moreover, even if these knights and servants were surprised that the Pope was taking Xia Zuoyi forward, they did not show any strange expressions on their faces.

Toward the end, fewer and fewer knights were guarding the place, while servants and waiters were almost nowhere to be seen.

Although the place they came to was still luxurious, it could be seen that no one had lived here for a long time, and it seemed to be divided into two parts from the previous part of the palace.

"Where is this?" Xia Zuoyi asked doubtfully.

Segalot: "This is where I was born."

Xia Zuoyi raised his head in surprise. Was his birthplace in the palace? !

Segalot took Xia Zuoyi's hand and led him slowly inside, through the arched corridor, and outside was a bare courtyard.

There are no ornamental plants planted here.

Segalot: "I transplanted the Belanka behind the Holy Church. At first, some Belanka slowly declined and withered because they could not adapt to the new environment..."

"However, time will heal everything, and new divine flowers will always replace the old ones."

"Your Excellency..." Xia Zuoyi gently tugged on his finger and asked, "You and the royal family of the empire..."

Segalot: "I have no relationship with the current imperial royal family."

"Don't worry about this. I will tell you everything you want to know. I want you to know everything about me, every bit of it..."

The author has something to say: 

Xia Xia: Cover your chest.jpg, my heart is beating again, but why tonight?

Pope: Because the moonlight is beautiful.

Xia Xia: No, it’s because I’m drunk and not clear minded.

Pope: Change the subject.jpg, starting from my birth, the next step is to understand my body... en.

Xia Xia: Shh!
