All the contract girls want to marry me

Matthew, lying in a pool of blood, struggled helplessly to Diana for help, and what was waiting for him was Diana's Blade of Holy Light.

Then he woke up with a fright.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gasped for air.

What does this dream mean?Was it a omen secretly given to him by the goddess of fate, or was his vague suspicion of Shirley embodied in a dream?

No matter what, he had to be ready.

He wanted to test Shirley's bottom line as much as possible without alerting the enemy.If Shirley has no problem but encounters suspicion, it will probably ruin her mentality.

If he was not prepared, it would be unjust to kill him with a bowl of soup.

Although Shirley was very strong, it was impossible to kill him by force.

All she could rely on was poison.

Although it was midnight, Matthew, who was soaked in cold sweat, was completely sleepless.

Shirley, do you really want to hurt me?Matthew didn't get up and look in the mirror, but he knew his expression must be particularly distorted.

No, he had to make some arrangements.

If the chosen son of God is poisoned during the celebration ceremony, even if he survives, it will be a joke.

Even if Shirley had different intentions, he would never give her a chance to make a mistake!

The night passed.

The celebration was held as scheduled.

Matthew was busy and many ceremonies required his presence.Representatives from all walks of life also need to be greeted by him.

Representatives of the Holy See, led by Bishop Klein, came to the celebration site.

Matthew took the initiative to greet them, and the two sides exchanged words of congratulations, and the atmosphere was very peaceful.

If an uninformed person saw it, they might think that they were getting along well with each other.

After the representatives of the Holy See, there were also representatives of various business groups, mercenary groups and other organizations.Some of them have already placed bets on Matthew, while others are still waiting to see.

Matthew's attitude was very enthusiastic.He needs to set up people whose talents he respects.

The largest number of people were representatives of farmers and workers from various villages and alchemy workshops.Matthew greeted them as if they were part of a family.

Many people simply can't understand Matthew's operation. If these idiots can stand in the corner and take a sip of soup, it's considered a mercy. Do they need to be so polite?

After all, you are still one-seventh of an emperor, so you are trying to get close to an old peasant?

Representatives from the territory were not surprised to see representatives of farmers and workers entering the venue.Large-scale events organized by Matthew are never without them.

After all, it’s Matthew’s celebration, and he has the final say.

After welcoming the guests, the ceremony officially began.

First, the main leaders made speeches.

Matthew gave the opportunity to deliver a speech to Bishop Klein, but Klein refused.In the end, it was Matthew who read out a letter of thanks to the goddess for her gift.

It doesn't matter whether the goddess can hear it or not, as long as others hear Matthew's pious voice.

Just as funerals are never for the dead, religious ceremonies are never for gods.

Those who cry to death are crying for the living.

Matthew expressed his thanks, also for others to see.

After the speech, there were various wonderful cultural performances that everyone loved to see.Performing artists from all over the world took to the stage to perform.

There are jugglers from wandering ethnic groups, singing artists from the imperial capital, and other performance groups performing various religious programs.

But there was no magic show.

It's not that Matthew is reluctant to hire a magician, but there are no magic shows in this world.

The magician needs to work hard for a long time to prepare props and use various methods to deceive vision to achieve the show effect. The magician can summon brilliant magic by raising his hand.

The existence of the magician means that there is no David Copperfield or Liu Qian in the other world.

After the artistic performance is over, the next item is to visit the miracle site.

The holy water that fell that day lost most of its sacred energy after being absorbed by Matthew and others, but a small amount of energy still flowed to the low-lying areas with the holy water.

This diluted holy water gathered in the small lake behind the castle. This lake was also immediately renamed [Goddess Lake].

This [Goddess Lake] has become a holy place for devout believers.

Seeing these people kneeling and worshiping in front of the small lake, their piety was almost crazy. Matthew once again realized how difficult it is to communicate science here.

Forget it, the path to science is put on hold for now, let’s continue to use our identity as the chosen son of God to deceive people.

After the various ceremonies, the core part of the celebration finally begins.

banquet.

Not everyone was religious, especially the common people of Lundebel, who only recognized Matthew.

They came to Matthew's place just for this sumptuous dinner.

A flowing banquet was held inside and outside the castle, and several banquet halls were filled with people.

Matthew walked from outside to inside, greeted the banquet attendees and toasted. By the time he returned to his seat in the main banquet hall, the banquet had already started for a long time.

The people at this table were all Matthew's cronies, and only Klein, Deanna and Andre were the guests.

The seating arrangement of the dining table is also very particular.

Klein was the most important guest and the chief representative of the Holy See to Lundebel, so he naturally had to sit in the host and guest position opposite Matthew.

Diana is an important member of the branch of the Holy See and sits on Klein's right hand side.

The others took their seats in order, starting from Matthew.

The members of the maid corps are also members of the secretariat. Today they all put on formal clothes and sat down.

On Matthew's right is Surante, tonight's protagonist.

She had recently completed her awakening, so it was natural for her to sit here.

Chapter 030 Shirley, my Shirley

The only thing that confused everyone was Andre's seating arrangement.

According to common sense, he is the third most important guest and should sit on Klein's left hand side, but Matthew arranged for him to sit on his left hand side.

Although there was some confusion, considering that Matthew might be showing favor to Andre's Dawson family, everyone was not surprised.

At this kind of dinner, it doesn't matter what you eat, but the information revealed by the seating arrangement is more important.

At the beginning of the dinner, Matthew cut off the chicken legs with his own hands and put them on Surante's plate. No one was jealous, after all, she was the first awakened person.

Matthew then gave Surante a magic ring called [Kiss of the Siren].

It is said that if you wear this ring, you can use a special skill called [Kiss of the Siren] to charm your enemies.

Under everyone's cheers, Surante tested it on the spot and activated his skills. As expected, Matthew fell under the charm.

Everyone then booed and expressed disbelief. Maybe Matthew was cooperating with the performance. They would not believe it unless Surante kissed Matthew in public.

The one who made the most noise was Shirley, who was watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

She [knows] that Surante and Matthew have had that kind of relationship for a long time, so naturally she has no scruples.

Encouraged by cheers and applause, in order not to disappoint everyone, Surante left a kiss on Matthew's cheek like a dragonfly, and then lifted the charm.

Seeing the cute look of Matthew touching his face, everyone burst into laughter.

Except Sistine.

Even though my delicate heart had been stabbed countless times, it still hurt so much when I was stabbed again.

Maybe it was because she was hurt too deeply, so she felt relieved. She could even raise a glass with a smile and send a sincere congratulations to Surante.

If only the envy in her eyes weren't so obvious.

All in all, it was a successful dinner.

The food is delicious and the mood is pleasant.

Matthew saw envy, jealousy and dissatisfaction in the eyes of several maids.

This is exactly what he wanted for the show.

Just don’t be convinced!

If everyone lies flat, how can Matthew still suck? Bah, how can everyone win?

You are only in your teens and 20s, how can you sleep?

Roll up, roll it up for me!

No one likes rolling, unless they watch their subordinates rolling each other and benefit from it.

The dishes were almost eaten, and the chef introduced the main soup of this banquet.

The chef solemnly introduced to everyone: "This is the secret love chicken soup prepared by Miss Shirley for everyone. In addition to chicken and ordinary condiments, a private recipe is also added. It tastes very good!"

Following his introduction, everyone was a little curious.

Eh?Miss Shirley can actually make soup?

Hearing Shirley's name, Matthew lowered his head slightly, his heart tightening.

Last night I dreamed that Shirley was poisoned by adding ingredients to the chicken soup. Today Shirley's secret chicken soup was served. Is this a coincidence or a prophecy?

It must be a prophecy!

Magicians have very strong control over their mental powers and will never dream for no reason.Whatever you encounter in your dreams is either a prophecy or something you have thought about every day.

To be able to manipulate a magician's dream, one must at least be a demigod.

Either way, it's better to be cautious than to freak out after being poisoned.

But dream prophecies may not always be accurate. If Shirley had not poisoned him, exposing him rashly would only make him lose the girl's trust forever.

He must not be poisoned or let Shirley feel suspicious.

He made arrangements in advance, and it was soon time to reveal the mystery.He cast his gaze out the window and silently prayed to the gods in heaven, hoping that this was all an illusion.

Shirley, do you really want to kill me?

Matthew didn't want to think about it anymore.Because the truth often hurts the most.

Shirley looked at the chef, said a few words with a shy expression, and then excitedly stood up to serve soup for everyone.

Seeing her excited look, Sistini was a little panicked.

She quickly moved her eyes to Surante, who didn't speak, but just nodded.She had checked the raw materials and condiments, and there were no problems.

Shirley cooked not only this soup tonight, but also other dishes.

If Shirley was really capable of poisoning, why would she wait for such a conspicuous chicken soup?

Seeing Surante's firm attitude, Sistini was finally relieved.

Surante has always been steady in doing things, and since she said it was okay, it must be okay.

Shirley quickly distributed the soup to everyone. Everyone had a big bowl, no one had more and no one had less.

The last three bowls were divided between Andre, Matthew and Surante.

Matthew looked at the soup in front of him and suddenly remembered the soup sent by the famous agent Pangolin.

Shirley, Shirley, did you give me delicious chicken soup or deadly chicken soup?

Although Shirley faced the soup basin with her back to Matthew when serving the soup, it would have been too easy for her to do anything if she wanted to.

Just as Matthew was looking at the soup bowl in a daze, the soft voice of a slightly drunk Andre sounded.

"Matthew, why are there chicken legs in your soup bowl? Miss Shirley is too partial. It's not fair!"

"Swap with me!"

Matthew glanced at Andre. The drunken young swordsman's skin was smooth and smooth, with a hint of pink in the ivory white. His drunken cheeks were crimson, and his amber eyes were filled with light. If you look closely, this charming look is simply profound. In the bones.

Matthew took a deep breath and didn't dare to look again.Fortunately, this guy is a man, otherwise his charm would be completely comparable to Surante and Sistine. Who can resist such temptation?
