Colonial Suit

A date with a princess? And the princess initiated it?

What a joke!

For a moment, everyone nearby was shocked by Melia's words. The people in the distance who were still discussing also gradually noticed the silence here and slowly stopped their discussions. The entire square actually became silent in a strange atmosphere.

Among the crowd, several young men who were about to step forward stopped, their eyes shooting out with jealousy.

They stared at Blood瞳 intently, wishing he would die immediately. However, out of courtesy, they had to force themselves to show a fake smile, which twisted their faces.

Unfortunately, no matter how jealous they were, Blood瞳 didn't feel anything. He didn't seem to care about Melia's invitation at all. He just said indifferently, "Am I late?"

"You're still so rigid, Mr. Blood瞳." Melia curled her lips, glared at Blood瞳, and then stepped aside, revealing Avril behind her.

Avril was still so gentle, as soft as a crabapple blossom. Blood瞳 casually took a box from Robbie's hand and handed it over.

"This is for you, happy birthday."

"Thank you," Avril said with a smile. She opened the box and saw a very ordinary crystal doll, which was an image of her playing water polo. Below the doll was a line of words: 'Happy birthday to our princess'.

"Ah..." Avril exclaimed softly, a smile blooming on her face like a flower. "Thank you so much, Mr. Blood瞳. I really like this gift."

"I'm glad you like it," Blood瞳 replied with a smile. Then he followed Avril into the venue.

Behind the two princesses, Robbie whispered to Blood瞳, "When did you prepare the gift? How come I didn't know?"

"I just bought it from a souvenir shop in the West District," Blood瞳 replied expressionlessly. "You should know that Avril is very popular on this planet. Her dolls are everywhere, and even that line of words was engraved in advance."

"You... you're too casual, aren't you?" Robbie still had a gentle smile on his face, but he didn't even look at Blood瞳. If you didn't look closely, no one would know he was talking to Blood瞳.

"The most important thing about giving gifts is sincerity, isn't it?" Blood瞳 also scanned the surroundings with a calm gaze. "At least I don't have all sorts of petty thoughts in my heart like most people here."

"You saw it too."

"I'm just not used to socializing, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid."

"It seems that coming here today was a mistake. This Princess Avril is very dangerous. If we don't want to get into trouble, it's best to stay away from her," Robbie said, smiling at a noblewoman next to him because she had just waved at him.

Undoubtedly, his smile made the noblewoman excited. Robbie saw her faint.

Noticing this, Blood瞳 said in a low voice, "Actually, I think you're in more danger here. Because so far I've seen sixteen women wave at you, and you've made three faint and six paralyzed with your smile. Don't you think your smile is more threatening than your gun to women?"

"I hear jealousy in your words."

"If you take it as jealousy, then so be it," Blood瞳 shrugged, but his gaze was still following the two princesses in front of him. "I just hope you can make me less jealous later, otherwise I can't guarantee we'll be able to return safely."

"The glory of our Lord is everywhere. I cannot refuse the lost sheep," Robbie shook his head and said without hesitation.

"Then I can consider leaving you here. I believe there are enough sheep here who want to eat you."

"............ Okay. I understand. I'll be careful," Robbie's face changed several times, and he quickly changed his tune.

As they spoke, everyone followed Avril into the banquet hall. It was a large space of several thousand square meters, with a semi-circular dome covered with intricate and luxurious reliefs. Several huge crystal lamps hung from the dome, illuminating the entire hall.

In the hall, dozens of long dining tables were neatly arranged on one side, and countless waiters were busy.

The banquet had not yet started, but desserts had already been served, as well as drinks and fruits for guests to take as they pleased.

Arriving here, Avril and Melia had to temporarily separate from Blood瞳. As one of the hosts, Avril was very busy. She couldn't stay with Blood瞳 and the others all the time. And Melia's lively personality was even more incompatible with Blood瞳. So soon, Avril was led away by an aide-de-camp, while Melia was surrounded by several young men, who burst into hearty laughter from time to time.

Blood瞳 casually found a corner and leaned against the wall, taking a glass of red wine from a passing waiter. Beside him, only Jack was still attending. Pandora was dragged by the twin sisters to eat desserts, and Robbie...

He was very popular. In just a moment, he had become one with several noblewomen. His elegant conversation and extensive knowledge fascinated these noblewomen, causing them to cover their mouths and giggle from time to time. Pairs of charming eyes wandered back and forth over Robbie, wishing they could swallow him in one bite.

"You know what? I think Robbie should have another good profession if he doesn't work as a mercenary," Blood瞳 said to Jack, sipping the red wine.

"Master, I know what you mean. But I don't dare to speak ill of Lord Robbie," Jack replied with a bitter face. Among everyone today, he was the least noticeable. Even the waiters at the banquet didn't look at him. This made Jack very aggrieved.

At this moment, more and more people entered the banquet hall. In just a short while, the hall was filled with invited guests. Most of them came in families, and almost every family brought a young person. These young people were dressed in fancy clothes, flaunting themselves like peacocks spreading their tails. They talked about finance, the situation, and the women of the Sea King. Everyone exuded an aura of being the best in the world.

These are the objects Avril wants to choose?

Blood瞳 couldn't help but feel sad for Avril. Although he didn't understand finance or current affairs, he could see that most of these young men were all show and no substance. Perhaps this was the difference between the peaceful world and the mercenary world. Blood瞳 couldn't see any masculinity in them, only conspiracy and hypocrisy.

Shaking his head, Blood瞳 drank the red wine in one gulp, and then beckoned a waiter.

"Get me a bottle of whiskey."

"Sir... that's strong liquor," the waiter said worriedly.

"Go ahead, it's okay," Blood瞳 twitched the corner of his mouth, and then placed the glass on the waiter's tray.

The waiter was speechless for a while, but still turned and walked away... Just then, cheers suddenly rang out throughout the venue. Blood瞳's eyes narrowed, and he immediately saw a man walking onto the high platform.

He was wearing a white and gold礼服, with a large red cloak behind him. He looked extremely majestic. His sharp eyes under his purple short hair were like an eagle. His whole body exuded the aura of a strong man.

Blood瞳's pupils suddenly shrank. "It's actually a Meteor-level, is he Sea King Eric?"

Before coming here, he never thought that the supreme ruler of Camille would be a strong man, let alone that he would reach the Meteor-level. This was a terrible discovery. Camille was just an ordinary planet in the Sixth World, and a Meteor-level undoubtedly had a strong deterrent in this world.

No wonder Camille remained peaceful in such a chaotic time in the T6 star field. Besides being watched by the higher world, Sea King Eric was also a reason.

Blood瞳 pondered to himself, sipping the whiskey.

At this time, Sea King Eric had led Avril onto the stage and introduced Avril to everyone amidst the cheers of countless people. Avril had changed into a pure white纱裙, looking as pure as an angel. She had a slightly shy smile, and she conquered the hearts of all the men present as soon as she appeared. Several men who had been talking loudly just now were so dazed that they didn't even know they had spilled their drinks.

Looking at the reaction of the guests, Sea King Eric nodded with satisfaction, and then announced the start of the banquet, and invited a gorgeously dressed noblewoman to symbolically dance the first dance. In the beautiful music, pairs of men and women began to enter the dance floor. Avril also became the focus of attention of the whole audience.

In just a few minutes, no less than ten people wanted to invite Avril to dance. But for some reason, no matter how excellent the person who invited her to dance, she always refused with a smile. Although she looked gentle, even a fool could see her attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Sea King Eric frowned and said to Avril in a low voice, "Are you unhappy?"

"How could I be?" Avril replied gently. "Today is my birthday, how can I not be happy that Father can hold this banquet for me?"

"Then why are you rejecting these young people? Are they not good enough?" The Sea King looked at the dance floor and asked lightly. "They are the best young people in Camille, the elites of the kingdom. Many of them even have titles."

"So what?" Avril smiled and shook her head. "They're too weak."

"Weak?" Sea King Eric frowned slightly. "What are you talking about? Are you thinking about those companions you met in the water polo game again? Don't think about it, I don't care if those ordinary people are your friends. But if you want to choose a partner, that's not okay."

"Father, are you forcing me?" Avril raised her head and glanced at the Sea King faintly. "But... I don't like it..."

"How could I force you," Sea King laughed. "Today is your birthday, I don't want to make my princess angry. But having said that, as a Camille mermaid, you must choose a partner today. Otherwise, you know what the result will be... How about this, I won't make it difficult for you, I have invited almost all the most outstanding young people in Camille today. You can choose whoever you like. How about it?"

"............" Avril was silent, and after a long time, she smiled. "Really?"
