Fairy Tail: Simulated from 400 years ago

Chapter 172 Dean’s proposal

Everyone applauded enthusiastically.

Benjamin nodded to everyone, then looked down at Layla, and said happily: "Thank you all for coming to Layla's birthday party. Our family is really grateful."

The crowd applauded again.

Benjamin said polite words for a while, then squatted down, stood beside his daughter, and asked encouragingly: "Leila, please say a few words to everyone."

Under the watchful eyes of the guests, Leila stepped forward timidly, and then said quietly and obediently: "Thank you for coming to my birthday party, thank you!"

Everyone applauded again, which gave Leila a lot of confidence. She smiled happily and returned to her parents.

After that, the banquet turned into a social process. The task that Benjamin and Fini took Leila to do was to chat in small circles before finally ending the dinner.

Their first target was Prince Adler's circle. After all, Mr. Lyle and Mr. Gildas had already met in private, so there was no need to be so public, so their family all walked towards Prince Adler. .

Adler knew that their family would come to find him, but he deliberately turned his back to them and sipped the wine in the goblet. It was not until he heard Benjamin's voice that he turned around pretending to be aware of it.

"Mr. Benjamin, Mrs. Feeney, and the lovely Miss Layla." Adler smiled gently.

"Prince Adler, we are really touched that you are willing to come to our little daughter's birthday party in person."

Adler had a charming and gentle smile on his face, as if his previous private dissatisfaction with Benjamin did not exist at all. He smiled and said: "A few months ago, when Mr. Benjamin came to attend the ball in the royal capital, I felt that I You are very popular and easy to talk to. How can I not come to your daughter’s birthday?”

Benjamin and Adler complimented each other back and forth for a while, talking and laughing, with no barrier at all.

At this time, Layla only stood quietly beside her mother Fini. A little bored, she raised her head and looked at Prince Adler's subordinates.

There were seven of them, surrounding Adler like stars over the moon.

When Layla saw Dean with shiny hair, he gave her a friendly smile, and she quickly smiled along with him.

Leila shifted her gaze and looked at the two guards beside Prince Adler. The thin guard nodded slightly to her, but the tall guard stared at her with a cold and disdainful look, which frightened her. She jumped.

She immediately shrank behind her mother, Feeney, seeking shelter.

Fei Ni also noticed the guard's eyes and felt displeased, but she didn't say anything, just patted Leila's back lightly to comfort her daughter.

At this time, Benjamin planned to end the topic and take his wife and daughter to the next circle.

As a result, Mr. Dean, who had been silent until now, suddenly stood up and interrupted with a smile: "Your Highness Adler, I see that Mr. Benjamin is so close to you, so I have an idea to kiss you. No. Do you know if you should say it?”

Adler, who had already prepared the draft and came over to sing the oboe, turned his face slightly and asked, pretending to be curious: "Dean, what do you have in mind? Let me tell you, Mr. Benjamin and I will not blame you." of."

Benjamin had a bad premonition, but he kept smiling and said, "Yes, if you have any ideas, please tell me Mr. Dean."

"Then let me speak frankly. I hope His Highness Adler and Mr. Benjamin will not blame me for being bold." Dean said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Adler is still young and has no fiancée, and Mr. Benjamin happens to have such a beautiful and lovely daughter. , if Miss Layla is willing to become His Highness Adler’s fiancée, then wouldn’t the Fiore royal family and the Heartfilia family become more closely related?”

Layla still looked ignorant.

Both Benjamin and Feeney couldn't help but change their expressions.

Let Layla become Prince Adler's fiancée? !
Thank you for daring to say it, my daughter is only 10 years old, and Prince Adler is 23 years old, there is a difference of 13 years in between, such an age difference, how dare you mention such a thing?
What's more, Prince Adler raised several mistresses in the royal capital, and even had an illegitimate child. You only need to inquire about it a little bit, how could I send the apple of my eye to such a pit of fire?
Benjamin felt that he could hardly contain his anger as a father, but before the final explosion, he still held back because of years of self-restraint.

He was about to say something expressionlessly when he was interrupted by Prince Adler.

"Dean, what are you talking about? Miss Leila is only 10 years old, how can she be my fiancée?"

Dean quickly begged for mercy, but then continued: "My proposal is indeed ridiculous, and it is normal for Mr. Benjamin to refuse. However, in another six years, Miss Layla will be of marriageable age, and Prince Adler will also be If you are young, it is okay to sign a marriage contract in advance and then get married later."

"It's still inappropriate, Dean... Even if my father is willing, Mr. Benjamin may not be willing." Prince Adler shook his head, looking embarrassed.

"Who knows whether this kind of thing can be accomplished without discussion?" Dean turned to Benjamin and smiled, "Are you right, Mr. Benjamin?"

Benjamin clenched his fists after hearing this. At this moment, how could he not understand that Prince Adler and Dean were cooperating to force him to agree to the engagement?

Using the Fiore royal family to suppress him, it seems that King Fiore did not teach his eldest son well.

Benjamin was angry and angry in his heart, but he still maintained his calmness on the surface. He could not get angry in front of Mr. Lyle and Mr. Kildas, so he forced a smile and said calmly: "Mr. Dean's proposal, Hartfield The Ya family will consider it carefully."

This means to decline.

This time it was Adler and Dean whose expressions changed.

They didn't expect Benjamin to refuse. He just signed a marriage contract with Layla first, and he didn't ask her to marry her immediately. What was Benjamin dissatisfied with?
Adler's expression darkened: What does this mean?underestimate me?A mere magic family didn't take me, the eldest prince of Fiore Kingdom, seriously?Or did he really reach some agreement with Fairy Tail to endanger the Fiore royal family?
He was full of doubts, depressed and resentful, but he didn't know that before he was born, Fairy Tail and the Heartfilia family were already twins.

Being too ignorant made him greedy and angry.

Dean was about to say something to restore the situation for Prince Adler, but unexpectedly Benjamin interrupted rather humiliatingly: "Your Highness Adler, Mr. Dean, I wish you a pleasant evening, and we will leave first. gone."

In this way, Benjamin led Fini and Layla to the next circle.

Adler was so angry that he was shaking all over and his eyes narrowed. How could he still look like the elegant and easy-going prince just now?

　Thank you for your recommendation votes!Thanks!
