Everyone Says I'm the Demon King [Unlimited]
Chapter 48 The Princess' Choice (5)
The whole dance started from just after dark until it was late at night. During this period, it lasted a total of several hours, and the people present danced continuously for several hours.
With the exception of a few energetic monsters, most of the people at the ball were exhausted.
The king stood up in good time to announce the end of the ball, and the crowd poured out of the banquet hall like a tide, and the ball ended.
Princess Catherine walked out of the banquet hall surrounded by several young men, and said goodbye to them all with a smile as she raised the corner of her skirt.
She is the eldest princess of the kingdom, and she is still unengaged.
Although the king wanted a male heir wholeheartedly, from the beginning to the end, he went through two wives and countless mistresses, but he never gave birth to a son.
Therefore, if nothing else, according to the order of succession of the kingdom, Princess Catherine will be the first heir to the throne.
Of course, the current queen is the stepmother of Princess Catherine, her daughter Princess Mary is very favored, and her fiancé is the youngest cabinet minister Snow, who has always controlled the government.
Such a configuration, no matter how you look at it, looks like it is going to push Princess Mary to the throne.
And if Princess Mary wants to take over, then Princess Catherine's fate can be imagined.
The men present couldn't help feeling a little pity in their hearts.
Many of them have already entered politics, just because they are young and have not yet reached a high position, but the family background behind them is still very prominent.
In the face of Catherine, a lonely princess with no succession title, the young men are a little bit ready to move.
Whoever marries her, without accident, will be the queen's husband in the future.Princess Catherine is so innocent and beautiful, and has never been taught to govern the country, so they can naturally intervene in government affairs as husbands and call the shots in the cabinet.
Although it seemed a little risky to be an enemy with Snow, but no one in the room wanted to see the other party's family grow up.Who wouldn't be tempted by such a win-win thing as being able to contain Snow and marrying Princess Catherine?
After seeing off a few thoughtful young men, Lu Fengdeng watched their carriage leave, then turned around, stepped on the steps in front of the castle, and prepared to walk in the direction of his room.
Until someone behind her stopped her:
"Princess Catherine, you are so beautiful tonight."
Lu Fengdeng turned around and saw Knight Lance standing under the steps of the palace, looking up at him.
The other party is an imperial knight, although he is very noble in terms of family background and status, but he is responsible for the security of the palace, and Lance has no time to dance during the ball.
Princess Catherine is wearing a long red dress, which is held up beautifully by a herringbone skirt.She held up her skirt, stood on the steps and bowed slightly to the person below: "Thank you, Knight Lance, for your compliment."
Hearing these words, the light in the eyes of the Lance knight who raised his head dimmed a bit.Seeing the back of Princess Catherine who was about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward and begged in desperation: "Catherine!"
Princess Catherine on the steps turned around again.
Melancholy appeared in the eyes of Knight Lance: "Princess Catherine, Your Royal Highness, would you please dance with me?"
"I passed the banquet hall many times today, but I could only see you dancing with other people. At that time, I was thinking, if I, if I was there, I might be one of the people dancing with you... ..."
The knight's voice came through the evening wind, and Princess Catherine on the steps smiled after hearing it.
Her face was white and beautiful, and under the reflection of the moonlight at this time, her outline was soft, as if an angel from heaven had descended to the world.
Lance Knight only heard the other party's laughing voice: "Okay."
Princess Catherine walked down the steps with her skirt in her hand: "The knight of Lance has sacrificed a lot for the safety of the palace. Of course, this small request is worth meeting. But the night is getting dark. After this dance, the knight of Lance also rest early."
She said, stretching out her red-gloved hand: "Only by resting adequately, can Sir Knight have more energy to protect our palace and serve the kingdom better, isn't it?"
Hearing the words, Knight Lance just sighed in his heart, and said, "It is my honor to follow the princess' teaching."
After speaking, he took Princess Catherine's hand and kissed her lightly on her finger.
The two immediately danced under the moonlight.
They are not on the dance floor, there is no band next to them, so all the rhythm is at the feet of the two.
This time, Lu Fengdeng didn't dance with his male partner like he did in the banquet hall before.
After a night of practice, he has mastered various dance steps.On the contrary, it was Lance Knight, whose steps looked a little strange.
Lu Fengdeng quietly guided the other party to speed up the rhythm, and completed the entire dance in a relatively short time.
At the end of the dance, Lu Fengdeng leaned his back in the arms of the Lance knight.
This posture was a bit intimate. After he maintained this position for a second or two, he came out of the other party's arms without hesitation. Just as he was about to let go, Lu Fengdeng's hand was clenched tightly.
Princess Catherine turned her head.
Knight of Lance had already knelt on the ground on one knee, his right hand clenched the slender hand, his left arm was stretched across his chest, his left hand patted his right shoulder, and he said in a low voice, "Catherine, Princess Catherine, no matter what happens , I will always guard your safety."
However, the beautiful princess in front of him was not surprised or moved as he expected.
The other party's voice was consistently gentle and mellow, and in Lance's ears, there was a hidden terrifying calm and self-restraint: "As a royal knight, you should indeed protect the safety of the royal family members. I think no matter what happens, Knights of Lance will guard our kingdom as always."
After finishing speaking, the princess lifted her skirt and went into the castle without looking back.
Only the Lance knight who was still kneeling on the ground was left.
What a cruel heart, no matter what kind of sweet talk can't impress him.
……
On the terrace of the castle.
Princess Mary's voice came from afar: "Snow, are you leaving?"
Snow withdrew his gaze, stood up straight, and walked down from the balcony.
Princess Mary was standing at the door of her room holding a dim kerosene lamp.
With her hair loose and her nightgown, she tentatively said, "It's so late, do you still want to go back? Otherwise, why don't you stay? You've never spent the night in the palace."
Dim yellow candlelight was burning on the walls on both sides. Snow's sharp face was half hidden in the shadows, and his gentle and melancholy eyes looked very cold: "Thank you princess for your kindness, I should go back."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without giving the other party time to speak further.
Leaving Princess Mary stomping secretly on the spot alone.
Snow quickly walked through the corridor, and when he reached the stairs leading to the banquet hall on the first floor, he bumped into Princess Catherine who was about to go upstairs.
At this time, all the guests in the hall had dispersed, leaving only a flickering candle, which elongated and reflected the opponent's figure on the wall of the palace.
The beautiful princess bowed slightly to herself: "Master Snow."
Snow did not nod in response, but tightened his grip on the armrest, and said coldly: "You are a princess, but you have a private meeting with a knight outside the palace in the middle of the night, which is discrediting the royal family. Princess Catherine, please be more self-respecting in the future. "
The princess who was accused by him not only didn't panic, but even smiled softly: "My lord Snow didn't leave in time after the ball, didn't he still stay in the palace late at night? Although Mary and Lord Snow are already engaged, but I think Master Snow should leave early for the sake of Mary's reputation in the future."
Snow clenched his hand holding the armrest, and his lips pursed: "I don't have any physical contact with Mary..."
However, Lu Fengdeng didn't want to entangle with the young cabinet minister any more, so he turned around and went upstairs.
The other party was most likely an awakened person. He thought that Snow wanted to attack him this time, but he didn't expect to be reprimanded for such a question.
From this point of view, this awakened person probably wants to take the route of plot killing, and wants to use various methods to pull Princess Catherine from the position of heir to the royal family, and then try to manipulate the plot to put him on the cusp of the storm, forcing him to be killed. Plot kill.
After all, according to the regulations, Lu Fengdeng could not be destroyed, which aroused the suspicion of most NPCs.Otherwise, not only would he not be able to complete the task, but he might also face punishment from the system.
Fortunately, so far, the situation has not turned against him.
However, according to the current complicated situation and more and more awakened people, it is better to resolve it as soon as possible.
While thinking, Lu Fengdeng walked to his room.
He gently opened the door, and the lights in the room were already on.
This is not surprising, after all, his identity is Princess Catherine, so it is natural for someone to clean up her room before going to bed.
Maid Mei Li has made the bed for Princess Catherine again, she hugged the changed sheet and quilt and bowed slightly to Lu Fengdeng as a salute: "Princess, Mei Li has made the bed for you, and the water in the tub is also Already put away."
Lu Fengdeng nodded and said, "You can go back."
Maid Meili nodded.
She looked a little nervous, her fingers kept pinching the soft fabric in her hand, and finally whispered when she passed by Princess Catherine: "Princess, the pot of narcissus you wanted, Meili changed it for you, and no one else saw it. .It turned out that I took that now.”
After speaking, Maid Mei Li ran away with small steps.
Changed the narcissus?
Lu Fengdeng walked to the window sill and looked at the narcissus in the pot.
If he hadn't taken pictures of the narcissus and kept them in his mind, otherwise Lu Fengdeng would never be able to see the difference between the changed narcissus and the previous narcissus.
He picked up the small shovel next to it and shoveled it in the daffodil pot. The rhizome buried in the pot was full, not the one he had shoveled off a small piece of before.
How did Maid Merry know that he would have narcissus rhizomes?Maids in this world are not qualified to study medicine and botany.
And she said that no one saw the daffodils, and she just said that she would take the daffodils away, but she didn't see the daffodils in her hand.Is it all in the system panel?
It seems that the other party is also an awakener.
And it looks like his teammate.
Lu Fengdeng thought so, but did not relax his vigilance.He stood in the room for a while, making sure no one would come in again, before releasing the little monster from the system panel.
The little monster, which had been imprisoned for a day, was freed at this moment, and immediately grabbed the big villain's arm and climbed onto his shoulder.
Lu Fengdeng carefully inspected the bed and under the bed, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he took the little monster into the bathtub next door that had been filled with water.
……
Thousands of miles away.
The cardinal stood on the city wall, watching the army approaching the city from afar.Their silver armor was shining brightly, and they shouted under the city. They were as powerful as a bamboo, and they were bound to win the city.
The head of the garrison beside him said: "I think we need to go back to the palace to meet the king."
The cardinal took a deep breath: "I'm with you."
With the exception of a few energetic monsters, most of the people at the ball were exhausted.
The king stood up in good time to announce the end of the ball, and the crowd poured out of the banquet hall like a tide, and the ball ended.
Princess Catherine walked out of the banquet hall surrounded by several young men, and said goodbye to them all with a smile as she raised the corner of her skirt.
