Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 95 The Grassland on the Head

"What about you? Do you still love Annie?" Annie tilted her head with a smile.

The question came so suddenly that Stannis froze, because, like Evelyn, he couldn't presume to make decisions for his former self.

He didn't speak for a long time, which made the girl's look dim, like the shadow cast by the bright sun.

"Perhaps, you still hate Annie."

The air around him became heavy, and Stannis tried to say something to comfort her, but an annoying noise interrupted his constructed words.

A butler wearing a wig shouted to everyone in the venue with a smile, "Sir Beorlandi from the imperial capital is here!"

Beorlandi?The 'Knight Laurel' who saved himself last time!Is it that handsome man who looks like a god descending from heaven?
His arrival really brought the atmosphere in the banquet hall to its peak, almost all the ladies rushed towards him and threw flowers at him, leaving only Stannis and Annist standing alone in the middle of the dance floor.

"Aren't you going to join in the fun?" He said sourly, after all, this guy almost gave him a cuckold last time.

"With Brother Stan by my side, should I be merciful to other men?" Anne leaned her head on Stannis's chest obediently, and this watery tenderness surrounded Stannis, allowing him to experience the purest happiness.

'Don't you feel her hatred! '

Lina's words resounded in his head inappropriately again, Stannis bared his teeth and covered his head, his mind was full of the woman's words that were like a spell.

"What's the matter, Brother Stan?" Annie raised her head and asked strangely.

He didn't speak, because he saw the handsome knight Beorlandi walking towards him.

The knight laurel was holding an exquisite ring box, the surface of which was studded with large diamonds, which made Stannis blind.

He wouldn't come to propose to his fiancée, would he?Stannis had a bad feeling, and the women around her looked at Annie with burning jealousy.

Finally, the tall and handsome Beorlandi stood in front of the girl, and then opened the ring box affectionately, and a huge purple gemstone that Stannis had never seen in his life appeared in the box.

However, if it is a gemstone, this purple stone seems to be too bright. It turns out that there is a mass of light inside this transparent stone. The purple light is wrapped in the stone and flows continuously. It is inevitable to cause ripples in people's hearts.

"Violet crystal!" Several knowledgeable people exclaimed.

[Violet Crystal] referred to as amethyst, is one of the most precious items in the Western Land. Because it contains the magic power that can drive ordinary creatures crazy, only dwarves who resist magic know how to mine it. The most precious gem on the entire continent.

Stannis didn't expect this kid to be so generous. No matter how you say such a ring, there are two or three thousand gold coins. In comparison, his gift is like a stinky stone in the channel, which is not worth looking at. No wonder Anne saw When he gave the gems, he didn't feel the slightest emotion.

hateful!Miscalculated!Stannis tugged at his hair. If he had known this, he might as well not have given him a hair, so as to keep his aloofness.

Beorlandi ignored her fiancé at all, but whispered with a charming smile: "Happy birthday to you, my Anne."

Stannis felt that his cuckold was completely solid, and he was so angry that he wanted to attack on the spot, but found that all the women in the audience except a few looked at Beorlandi with crazy eyes. If he did it himself, he would be caught by these crazy people. The women rushed forward and beat them to death, right?
Now he can only rely on his fiancée to still remember what he said just now and reject this guy's gift with words, and threw himself into his arms in public, slapping Beorlandi in the face angrily!

It's a pity that Anne didn't intend to refuse at all. She covered her mouth with her hands and became extremely surprised, and then she was moved to tears, "Sir Beorlandi, this...is this really for me?"

When it was all over, she was overwhelmed with this gift.

"Of course, my Anne, this is just a worthless gadget, I hope you will not be angry." Beorlandi affirmed.

"You are so kind~~" Annie couldn't wait to pick up the ring and put it on her finger, "Isn't it nice, Brother Stan, huh? Brother Stan!"

At some point, her fiancé had already left the banquet hall angrily.

House of the Marquess of Floyd, early morning
Stannis lay restlessly on the luxurious big bed in the guest room, but couldn't fall asleep because of tossing and turning.

Because it was too late after the dinner, he had to stay overnight in the Marquis' mansion.

However, Stannis, who thought he could have a good sleep on this big soft bed, was not satisfied. The reason was very simple, because he was about to explode with anger!

A guy who is better than himself in all aspects is courting his fiancée, holding a ring worth 2500 gold coins and saying it is just a worthless gift!All the pressure in the audience let him pretend alone!

And I can't get angry and beat him up, because in Xilu's culture, married and unmarried ladies can flirt with other people, and her husband/fiance has to pretend to be generous, or I will have a bad reputation in the future. It is very difficult to seduce other married men...

Although Stannis understands the principle of "a green man is always green", this blatant behavior of poaching corners is too arrogant, and even an honest person like him who is benevolent, wise, righteous, and honest will be angry.

And what was even more infuriating was Anne's reaction, she seemed to enjoy this guy's compliment, making herself seem like an extra.As a woman who is about to get married, is it really okay to still be ambiguous like this!
Anyway, no matter how he thought about it, Stannis just couldn't swallow this breath. He was going to have a showdown with her tomorrow morning, vowing to clear the grassland from his head.

'Da da da'

There was a light knock on the door.

Who?Why did he come to disturb himself so late, the angry Stannis kicked the quilt away, then jumped up and opened the door.

"Who is it?" he demanded.

A man dressed in men's clothing appeared in front of him. He bowed his head and kept his hair down, while the darkness completely covered his face.

"Who are you?" Stannis didn't recognize the comer.

"Brother Stan, put on a little disguise, and you won't know me anymore!"

He heard a familiar voice, and only then did he realize that it was not someone else, but Anista who was disguised as a man!
"Why are you dressed like this?" He asked curiously.

"It's the same as before! How can you sneak out if you don't dress up like this?"

It turned out that I wanted to sneak out!Stannis understood, it seemed that nobles from such rich families really couldn't run around at will.
