Chapter 56 The Burning Temple

All the guests who participated in the warm-up dance lived in Swan Castle "by a blessing in disguise".

Although, many guests expressed "tears of gratitude" that they did not want such a great "blessing".

But after the knights of Swan Castle showed their long swords, these people still "thank you" with tears in their eyes.

As soon as Li Aili returned to the room, her eyes were fixed on Arthur Leng Feicui.

The Duke calmly hung the ribbon and coat on the hanger, then sat on the single sofa, picked up "Prince Thomson's Revenge" that he had read twice, and continued to read.

Li Aili: "Are you..."

The Duke looked up at her.

Li Aili asked hesitantly: "Do you have the talent of crow's mouth?"

Duke: "..."

Li Aili sighed, "Hey, I always feel that this matter will never end."

Others don't know, but she saw it. Miss Sophia was designed.

Did the Grand Duke of Nanjun also guess it?
Otherwise, why did he detain everyone.

"Today," Li Aili tentatively asked, "won't you go drink with him?"

The Duke turned a page of the book calmly, "The current situation is that I know he just wore a cuckold."

"He knows I know he's cuckolded."

"Do you think that under such circumstances, Brandon can sit down and drink with me calmly?"

Ellie Li: "..."

Li Aili feebly removed the hair accessories from her hair, "You said, why did he detain all the people from the Holy Court of Light?"

The Duke turned a page of the book, "If I were Brandon, I wouldn't let the people of the Holy See go."

"Why? This is not to offend the church..." She swallowed the rest of the words.

I forgot, the one in front of me is the wolf who turned his face because the cardinal took his left foot first when he entered the door.

After lights out.

Li Aili was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She patted the "[-]th line" between the two of them, a huge pillow.

"Are you asleep, neighbor next door?"

Duke: "..."

"Oh, I'm just asking, tell me, will Duke Pomegranate let us go tomorrow?"

Duke: "...tomorrow is his birthday."

"If it's his birthday and all the guests leave, the scandal the day after tomorrow will be covered in newspapers in the Kingdom."

"Well, tell me, he..."

"If, you don't want to sleep, I'd be more than happy to throw out the pillow in the middle and let's talk."

"good night!"

……

On the second day, the servants of the castle were busy as a spinning top early in the morning.

If it weren't for the watermelon-colored bubbles above their heads, Li Aili would have thought that what happened at the dance yesterday was an absurd dream.

Breakfast was delivered to the room.

Obviously, Duke Pomegranate did not want the guests left behind by Qiang to leave their rooms without authorization.

Li Aili picked up a baked crispy croissant, "What the hell is he going to do?"

Arthur came out of the bathroom after shaving.

Li Aili, who was holding a croissant, saw a very obvious blood mark on his left jaw.

Can a platinum-ranked knight shave his face?

That's like saying that a cook can't use a kitchen knife.

At this moment, Li Aili thought a lot.

Arthur Leng Jade was not as calm as he appeared.

This made her suddenly worried.

What on earth is Duke Pomegranate planning to do?
She struggled like this all morning, until at noon, there was a knock on the door.

In addition to the servant who delivered the food, there was another person outside the door.

Mark, the internal affairs officer, with two dark circles under his eyes, showed an inexplicably distressed smile at Li Aili.

"Your Highness, please go to the study." These words were addressed to Arthur Leng Feicui.

Arthur picked up the coat and the ribbon hanging on the rack, hung them on his arm and said calmly, "I'll be back in a while."

Li Aili frowned slightly and looked at the ribbon.

Do you need to dress so formally for private conversations?

Li Aili said: "Then I'll have dinner with you when you come back."

The figure of the Duke standing at the door paused slightly, and then left without looking back.

After a while, the door opened.

The duke, in coat and sash, returned to his room.

Li Aili put down the "South County Weekly" she was using to pass the time, "Ah, the food is getting cold, do you need someone to heat it up for you?"

The Duke approached the bedroom directly, and said in a low voice while taking off his coat, "I'm a little tired, I'll sleep for a while."

Li Aili reminded: "It's Duke Pomegranate's birthday party tonight, don't sleep too long..."

She wanted to say be careful that you don't have enough time, but the fact is that even male aristocrats' clothes are cumbersome, but it really saves a lot of work compared to a woman's set of 'equipment'.

The Duke fell asleep until the banquet started.

Ellie Lee has begun sitting in front of the vanity mirror for the final procedures.

After struggling with the complicated hair accessories for a long time, it was dark.

The servants of Swan Castle knocked on the door politely to inform them that it was time for the Grand Duke's birthday party.

The Duke stood up and walked out of the room first.

On the way, Li Aili walked quickly to the Duke's side and said in a low voice, "I don't think this looks like a banquet."

The Duke frowned, "Oh? What does that look like?"

Li Aili complained: "It's more like a prisoner's release in a prison."

The Duke chuckled, "Ha."

Li Aili frowned slightly, feeling very strange, but she couldn't tell exactly what was strange.

In the magnificent Swan Castle, the nobles attended the ceremony one by one.

They toasted and chatted with each other, enjoying fine wine and delicious food.

It doesn't look like being forcibly detained in Schwann Castle for a day at all.

Ellie Li: "..."

She looked around, but she didn't see the host of the birthday party, Duke Pomegranate.

Oh, and the whole party from the Holy Court is also absent.

"Ah, Duke Pomegranate didn't show up." Li Aili said in a low voice.

The Duke beside her smiled and said, "What happened yesterday, he may not be in the mood to deal with this kind of situation for the time being."

That weird feeling came again, and Li Aili frowned slightly.

"I'm talking about the Duke of Pomegranate. Originally, I wanted to sell my alchemy products to him."

The Duke beside him said with great interest, "Oh? What alchemy product?"

Li Aili said: "Didn't you use it? Last time I gave it to the three in the dark prison...you understand."

The Duke suddenly realized, "Oh, that..."

"I remember, that one is called..."

Li Aili reminded silently: "[Forgotten Potion]."

She glanced at the guests around her, "One bottle per person, I'm sure no one will remember that Duke Pomegranate wore a green hat the day before his birthday."

"No need this time, you can do this business with him later."

At this time, the band began to play beautiful dance music.

The Duke said: "Since the 'protagonist' is not here, let us do the opening dance today, my dear."

Li Aili remembered the scene of the two dancing yesterday, her cheeks flushed, "A-Are you still here like yesterday?"

The Duke suddenly remembered something, looked at her with a smile and said, "No, let's change to an easier dance today."

After speaking, he walked to the orchestra and had a few words with the conductor.

Soon, the dance music changed to a very cheerful tune.

The Duke dragged Ellie Lee to the middle of the dance floor, and the two of them intertwined their arms and began... circling.

Li Aili lifted the hem of her skirt, and the weird feeling in her heart reached its peak.

Could Arthur Leng Jade dance this cheerful, ardent dance?

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they take root.

Li Aili carefully looked at the Duke who was dancing cheerfully.

It's still that handsome face, but... her whole body gives her a sense of disobedience.

What could be wrong...

Until Li Aili saw the man's smooth chin, the left lower jaw was smooth and nothing.

Of course, drinking the healing potion can also quickly heal the wound.

But for the current duchy, a bottle of healing potion is equal to the knight's 'life'.

The Arthur Leng Jade that Li Aili knew would never waste the precious healing potion on such a thing.

In an instant, Li Aili only felt a chill rushing up from the soles of her feet.

Her dance steps became messy, and if the 'Duke' who led her to dance hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands, she almost bumped into the people behind.

"What's the matter with you?" the 'Duke' voice asked softly.

After the dance, Li Aili and 'The Duke' quietly left the stage, her back was stiff, and her heart was beating as if she had kicked a noisy kitten inside.

"Why are you sweating so much?" 'The Duke' leaned over slightly, squinting at Li Aili's expression.

At this moment, someone exclaimed loudly: "Look! It's on fire!!"

Many people who were near the window came over.

"My God of Light! Isn't that the Saint-Cyr Church!?"

Guests looked out their windows at the cathedral, which was engulfed in flames.

Li Aili also rushed over.

The Sanctuary of Saint-Cyr is high in the sky, and at this moment, it is like a burning torch.

The night was lit up red by the flames soaring into the sky.

"My God of Light...it must be because of that hypocrite! This is God's sin!" A believer in the Holy Church of Light cursed angrily.

Li Aili looked at the flames soaring into the sky, feeling confused.

Could this... have anything to do with him?

 Yan Mo rewarded Jiageng, today is the [-]rd, and the new chapter has not been moved yet, tired and paralyzed.
