The hero is a luminous body

【Saint Loins Empire Loins City】

As the imperial capital of the San Loyes Empire, Loyes City can be said to be bustling all year round. Even at night, cars and horses often come and go. The aristocratic wives and ladies sitting in the carriages smell of good perfume. It became pieces of fragrant clouds, and there were a few silver bell-like laughter from time to time, which fascinated the young people who happened to pass by.

And the Ninth Prince's Mansion, located in the aristocratic area of ​​Luo Yinsi City where every inch of land is expensive, is also brightly lit at this time, and there are staggered cups of wine.The lighting in the hall is not the candles burning on the golden candlesticks, but the magic circles engraved on the wall one by one, each magic circle has a crystal of unknown rank embedded in the center of the circle. Beads, when these magic circles are all lit up, the whole hall is as bright as day.And the long table wrapped in golden red silk cloth is filled with all kinds of rare food, which makes people dazzled and amazed.Members of the Royal Orchestra are sitting in a corner of the hall, playing cheerful music.

A group of ladies in evening gowns were holding red wine and talking quietly.

"I don't know which family's children can let His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince personally hold the coming-of-age ceremony. This standard is probably comparable to those of the previous princes, right?"

"A few years ago, the eldest daughter of the Altigana family wanted to ask His Highness to host the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, but was rejected."

"You don't know this, do you? Ten years ago, the adoptive sister of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince was the young lady of Altigana at that time. Unexpectedly, she passed away suddenly for unknown reasons. Since then, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has gradually alienated Altie. The Garner family. I heard that the eldest lady was forced to death within the family, so His Royal Highness has not looked good towards the family members these years."

"Is that so? No wonder the Artigana family is getting worse every year."

"It's far away, aren't we talking about that boy?"

"That's right. I'm afraid he is His Highness's illegitimate child?"

"...Your Highness just turned [-] this year, how could such an illegitimate child come from..."

"...I'll just say it casually..."

The ladies covered their mouths and laughed as they spoke.

The cheerful music stopped.

Everyone quieted down, knowing that the protagonist of the banquet was about to appear.

Sure enough, there were two people walking down the wide staircase in the center, and the tall man in a black dress walking on the right side, with stern eyes and awe-inspiring manner, was His Royal Highness Ninth Prince.And the young man who followed beside him, dressed in a pure white dress, with black hair and blue eyes, was exquisite and picturesque, but people couldn't help but fix their eyes on him.

It really is... like God's most beloved child, bestowing that ultimate beauty on him.

All the people present were thinking in unison.

When the Ninth Prince led the young man to stand on the steps and started to speak, everyone came to their senses.

"It's a great honor for everyone to come to my Xia Xia's coming-of-age ceremony." The Ninth Prince's voice was not as indifferent as usual, but rather soft and gentle, like a gurgling stream flowing through people's hearts.

When Luo Yi heard this sound for the first time, he felt that the water flowed from his ears into his soul, and a small water flower bloomed there.But now, looking at the man standing next to him, reading the speech, he felt that the water spray filled his whole soul as if it had life for no reason.

"...Then, the ceremony begins now." When Luo Yi was in a trance and regained consciousness from teaching her disobedient soul to let the water bloom, Di Lian had already turned around and looked at him tenderly.

"Swear in your name, Xia Xia." Di Lian walked down and stood in front of the crowd, looking up at him slightly.There was a soft smile on his face, and his eyes were looking at him with expectation and encouragement.

Luo Yi took a deep breath and read slowly: "In the name of Luo Yi Stuart, I swear that I will not follow the schemes of the wicked, stand in the way of sinners, and sit in the seat of scorners, but love God The law, thought day and night; if I disobey it, let the enemy pursue me, until he overtakes me, tramples my life to the ground, and brings my glory to dust."

Di Lian looked at him with a smile, and read: "My dear young man, may you wear a sword on your waist, be honored and majestic, ride a car for truth, humility, and righteousness, and be victorious."

The young Qingyue's oath and the man's gentle congratulatory speech spread throughout the hall, and then flew out from the open door and window, fluttered in the air, and scattered away.

"Congratulations, my Xia Xia, from today onwards, you are an adult." Di Lian stepped forward, took Luo Yi's hand and brought him down, stroking his soft black hair and said.

"Actually, it's no different." Luo Yi muttered softly while smiling at the applauding crowd.

"Thank you again for participating in my family Xia Xia's coming-of-age ceremony, now please enjoy the dinner to the fullest." Di Lian announced, then took Luo Yi's hand and walked towards the rest room on the side, "Adults can do a lot of shame. What a shame, Xia Xia."

"..." Luo Yi glanced at the man beside him. This man obviously had a serious face, but what he said didn't match his expression at all. He thought for a while, then smiled narrowly, "Indeed. Pretty girl There are so many children."

"...Xia Xia!" The two were walking to the door of the lounge, Di Lian was unhappy when she heard this, she hugged her into her arms without any hesitation, and said, "I shouldn't be soft-hearted, Should be engaged directly."

"Oh. It's too late to regret it." Luo Yi pushed him away slowly, turned around and knocked on the door of the rest room, but there was a smile on his face that he didn't even notice.

"Come in." A soft voice came from the room.

Luo Yi opened the door and went in, and saw a girl sitting by the window. The girl was wearing a complex and gorgeous cream skirt. The delicate and complicated patterns were embroidered on the skirt with gold thread. It doesn't look cumbersome, but has a soft and extravagant air.The girl's complexion was fair and rosy, her wavy blond hair was tied neatly, and she was wearing a crown inlaid with crystals and gemstones. The emeralds on the crown were shining brightly with the girl's bluish-colored pupils.

Seeing them coming in, the girl stood up and said in a low voice, "Brother Nine Kings, Sister Nine Kings."

"...Your Majesty, you don't have to call me Sister-in-Law Nine Kings." Luo Yi felt a little headache when she saw this girl, but she still stubbornly called him Sister-in-Law after saying it many times.

The girl called "Your Majesty" bit her lip and looked at him timidly.

Luo Yi couldn't help thinking, this member of the St. Luo Yinsi family, maybe he was born to overcome Luo Yi, he couldn't handle his brother, and he couldn't handle his sister either.

"Your Majesty, thank you for coming to Xia Xia's coming-of-age ceremony." Di Lian said standing behind Luo Yi.His expression was rare to be so gentle towards people other than Luo Yi.

"This is the most important ceremony for Mrs. Nine Kings. Of course I want to come." The girl said softly with bright eyes.

"Yeah. I asked someone to make a pearl and jade cold cake, and I'll deliver it in a while." Di Lian walked over, took out something and handed it to her, and said with a smile, "You have to put away the book you just got yesterday. Let Your Excellency Zach see it, otherwise he should say you again."

"Okay!" The girl happily took the book and flipped through it twice, then stuffed it into the ring, then smiled sweetly at the two of them, and said, "Thank you Brother Jiu Wang and Sister Jiu Wang!"

Seeing such a smile, Luo Yi couldn't help but feel distressed. This girl who hasn't even held her coming-of-age ceremony has been pushed to such a high position. She is bound by honor, etiquette, and responsibility, and she can't even read a book she likes. Be sneaky.

Di Lian nodded, and said: "After using the cold cake, let's go back earlier, so that His Excellency Zac won't be worried."

"Oh..." The girl who was very happy just now couldn't help but dim her eyes when she heard this, and looked at the ground in despair.

Di Lian hesitated for a moment, then walked over and knelt down lightly, hugged the girl into her arms, and patted her on the back.

"I don't want to be some kind of queen..."

"I just want to be my seventeenth princess...brother..."

Di Lian paused for a moment while patting her back, lowered her eyes to cover the emotion in her eyes, and then slowly pushed her away.

For a moment, Luo Yi thought that the young His Majesty was crying, but when the two separated and the girl raised her head, he realized that although the girl's face was fragile and sad, there was a clear silence in her eyes.

Di Lian looked at her, sighed, and said, "Alice, this is your responsibility as a royal family."

"My brother is also a royal family!" Alice raised her head and asked him sadly and incomprehensibly.

"..." Dilian didn't answer anymore, she just pulled Luo Yi and walked out, before closing the door, she said calmly, "Your Majesty, go back earlier."

The two walked toward the hall in silence.

When walking to the shadow, Luo Yi suddenly grabbed Di Lian.

Looking at the man's silent appearance, he asked softly, "Why does it have to be Alice?"

Di Lian stroked Luo Yi's black hair, and said: "Her biological mother is the only concubine, and we children are just the illegitimate children of the previous king. She is the orthodox heir, and only she can sit on the throne in a legitimate way. "

"But..." Luo Yi looked at him hesitantly.

"Xia Xia, don't worry. A child of the royal family is not as fragile as you think. Even if Alice is just a child, one day, she will grow into a powerful queen who can protect the empire from wind and rain."

It's just that the process will be like breaking out of a cocoon and turning into a butterfly, suffering and struggling. If you give up even half of it, you will never be able to fly to the sky.

Luo Yi also understood Di Lian's unfinished words, so she was silent for a while before saying, "Let's go."

The two walked into the hall together.

The author has something to say:

Your majesty the strong but fragile queen, when the war comes, you must use your thin shoulders to hold up a piece of sky for your people.
