"Feng, long time no see."

King Sebastian came to greet him with a smile on his face. He hadn't seen him for a year, and the other party hadn't changed much. Jiang Shouyue watched Draper talking with him, while she looked away.

He quickly saw a slightly familiar face. Not far away, a blond man was looking at him with a smile. Seeing Jiang Shouyue's gaze on him, the smile on his face was even wider, and he nodded to him.

Mars.Lancaster.I met once at the auction house, and the other party even bid with him for the snowflake brooch, which put a lot of pressure on Jiang Shouyue.The color in her eyes gradually deepened, and Jiang Shouyue nodded at the other party. The next moment, the blond woman next to Mars noticed the movement here, so she also turned her head to look at him. The blond hair on that end was almost the same as Mars. It was Jiang Shouyue who guessed the other party's identity at once.

The third princess, Villian, is as beautiful as the rumors say.

Jiang Shouyue didn't know much about the royal family, and most of them were told by Draper later.The bloodline of the royal family is extremely good, but the third princess is a beta, which is somewhat out of place in the entire royal family.

"Master Jiang."

Sebastian's call made Jiang Shouyue look away and look at him.But even though the person in front of him had a kind smile, Jiang Shouyue knew very well that the other party hated him in his heart. He had openly challenged the other party's authority, and even the Duke openly favored him. From this point of view, Jiang Shouyue might really be one of these The first person in years to make the king suffer.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shouyue smiled even wider and bowed to the other party.

"I think you and Feng have been married for a year. It's my negligence that I haven't invited you here for a gathering this year."

Sebastian's smile showed a bit of hypocrisy, but Jiang Shouyue didn't care too much, and the rhetoric was the same.

The two also talked for a while, and finally Sebastian turned his attention to Xiao Qi who had been silent beside Jiang Shouyue and the others: "Is this the child adopted by you and Feng?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jiang Shouyue complied, then lowered her head and smiled at Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi raised her head sensiblely, and then saluted Sebastian in a slightly unfamiliar manner.

"I didn't expect Feng to adopt a child."

Sebastian's gaze lingered on the girl, and finally he said this suddenly, his face darkened for a moment, but he soon returned to that kind smile.

But Jiang Shouyue knew that he had adopted a beta child of non-royal blood, and the other party's heart was almost overwhelmed.

But the other party couldn't do anything to Jiang Shouyue. After all, Jiang Shouyue would never have been able to do this matter without Draper's consent.

After Xie Bastian left, Jiang Shouyue relaxed a lot.Mars and Villian on the side stepped forward and greeted Jiang Shouyue and the others.

"Master Jiang, long time no see, your short hair looks great."

Mars smiled sincerely. He praised Jiang Shouyue as soon as he stepped forward, then lowered his head to look at Xiao Qi beside Jiang Shouyue, and said funny words, "Wow, what's your name, you look so cute."

"Jiang Zhaoluo." Xiaoqi remembered the name Jiang Shouyue and Draper gave her, and she answered quickly now.

The moment Mars heard the name, his eyes flickered, and his expression quickly became subtle, but his words were still extremely relaxed, and he reached out and touched Xiao Qi's face: "The name is really nice."

"Thank you, Uncle." Xiao Qi stared at him for a while, then thanked him.

"Why do you call me uncle? Am I that old?"

Mars was also funny, he even made a joke with a child like this, but before Jiang Shouyue could speak, a woman's voice came from the side: "Master Jiang, Your Excellency the Duke."

Looking up, she saw Vilian standing in front of them, speaking respectfully towards them.Jiang Shouyue raised her eyes and observed the other party while returning the salute. Just a short distance away, Jiang Shouyue could see the beauty of the other party. Now facing each other, the other party was blond and blue-eyed, and her face was as delicate as a doll. Not too much.

"You are beautiful, Your Highness."

Jiang Shouyue couldn't help but praise.

"Thank you." Villian's character didn't look as cheerful as Mars's, but rather dull, and she didn't say anything more after thanking her.

"Villian."

Mars said cheerfully from the side, and even wanted Villian to watch Xiao Qi together, "She is as cute as you were when you were a child."

"..."

Villian looked at Mars in silence, didn't move, but his eyes suddenly became colder. I wondered if it was Jiang Shouyue's illusion. He only felt that the atmosphere was much more subtle after Mars said that.

Mars's smile also subsided immediately, and he didn't look as happy as before. He talked to Jiang Shouyue and the others and left.

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Jiang Shouyue couldn't help asking Draper: "What happened to them?"

Draper also stared at the siblings for a while, and finally told Jiang Shouyue a story: "I heard that Her Highness Villian was very cute when she was a child, and she was the darling of the whole palace. Even Sebastian loved this girl very much." My daughter, even to make her happy, even made the most precious jewelry of the entire Lancaster family into a necklace and gave it to her, but the world has changed, and no one expected what happened later."

Listening to Draper's description, Jiang Shouyue almost guessed the reason. There is a high probability that Villian turned into a beta in the end. People who value blood like Sebastian will probably treat her as a beta from now on. shame on himself.

"Is bloodline so important?"

Jiang Shouyue couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He looked down at Xiao Qi, recalling all his experiences back then, and felt that this society had really been divided into ranks and ranks from the moment it was divided.

"People's hearts are unpredictable, keep the moon."

Draper's words are full of deep meaning, "Too much emphasis on bloodlines will eventually be bound by it, and they will not understand that sometimes, feelings are more important than bloodlines."

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Xiao Qi was beside Jiang Shouyue, seeing Jiang Shouyue looking at him, keenly felt a trace of sadness, so he asked.Jiang Shouyue shook her head, quickly suppressed the sadness in her eyes, leaned down, helped the other party tidy up the hair that was messed up by Mars just now, and said with a smile: "Dad is fine."

The past is meaningless to him.

Suddenly, a big hand that had always been generous fell on his head, and the familiar force made Jiang Shouyue's heart tremble.

Yes, he needn't be afraid any more.

After all, he was no longer alone.
