Beyond the Two Realms, I am the God of the Otherworld

But you have to know that the Queen has created many "impossible" things in the past.

I heard that Her Majesty is very close to reaching the sixth level, and is one of the few extraordinary people in the empire who can resonate with the "Goddess of Destiny".

The power of the sequence called "Destiny" is extremely magical. It can predict the future and even arrange the future of others to a certain extent.

Perhaps, His Majesty really anticipated this step?

The two senior nobles looked up at the center of the golden hall and chatted casually.

On the other side, Xizel had already taken Yulina's hand and walked to the center of the dance floor, guiding her movements and starting the dance.

Compared to César, Yulina seemed very passive. Her dance steps, arm movements, and actions all followed César's instructions.

However, for some reason, even though she and César had never danced together before, their dance steps seemed as if they had practiced countless times. Yulina felt that every movement seemed very natural.

The rose-colored black dress danced under the crystal chandelier on the dome, gorgeous and magnificent.

The girl's tense expression gradually relaxed. Xizel guided her movements and asked in a low voice, "It's very simple, right?"

Yulina shook her head slightly and said, "...That's because you guided me well. I would never be able to do it if I were alone."

"How can anyone dance by himself at a party like this?"

Xizel shook his head and smiled: "And don't forget the relationship between you and me now... Until the engagement is concluded, you will not be alone at future dances."

Yulina was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said "hmm" softly, and then completed the dance seriously under César's guidance.

……

At this moment, in a corner, two people were looking at the boy and girl in the middle of the hall and fell into silence for a long time.

Yvette's body tensed slightly, her eyes involuntarily looking toward the center of the dance floor, and she seemed to have lost control of her facial expression.

Shirley at the side was also tense. She almost lost control of her expression when she felt a certain pressure coming from beside her.

It was only because of her professionalism that she managed to maintain a smile.

Shirley Skadi has carried out countless missions for Her Majesty the Queen from the past to the present, and she can remain calm even when facing the Grand Duke or Prince of the Camelot Empire.

However, at this moment, the girl with glasses seemed to have received 10,000 critical hits. The little soul in her heart was already roaring.

Oh my god, what's going on?!

Logically speaking, it was His Majesty who granted the marriage, so shouldn't she be relieved to see that César and the Third Princess were getting along harmoniously?

But why did Her Majesty the Queen have such a subtle expression when they went up to dance?

After secretly adjusting her emotions, the girl with glasses cautiously called out softly, "Your Majesty..."

Yves quietly withdrew her gaze, and the expression on her face had returned to her usual calmness.

Although she was a little surprised for a moment just now that Xizel would take the initiative to invite Yulina, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not difficult to understand the reason for the invitation.

In such an occasion, it is normal for the two to dance together.

With this in mind, Yves said calmly, "You can go back now."

If I continue to stay here, I will just be watching this dance as a bored spectator.

Just as the two were leaving the Golden Hall, Ivril seemed to remember something and said with a thoughtful look:

"By the way, let's summon Yurina to the palace tomorrow."

"I want to talk to her alone."

Chapter 18: Invitation to the Royal Palace (4.5K)

Yulina had a magical feeling.

From the past to the present, whenever she appears in some public occasions, people always look at her strangely.

Silver hair and red eyes, in legend, these are the characteristics of a forbidden witch.

But for some reason, tonight she couldn't feel when others looked at her. There was something strange in the light.

Or rather, rather than the strange looks, there was more shock and confusion in their eyes at this moment.

As for the reason... I guess you didn't expect her to actually go on stage?

As if because of distraction, Yulina's black high-heeled shoes accidentally stepped on the instep of Cesar.

Xizel almost cried out in pain, but his good manners helped him calm down and he just took a deep breath.

Yulina immediately came back to her senses and whispered in an apologetic voice, "Sorry... I was distracted just now."

Xizel shook his head and smiled: "Well...it's okay, this is actually a reward under special circumstances."

"Under other circumstances I would have to thank you."

I stepped on him, but he wanted to thank me...?

A question mark slowly appeared above Yulina's head.

César did not explain this, but just guided Yulina to dance with him.

Perhaps because of the boy's comfort, the girl's originally uncomfortable body gradually relaxed, until finally, her steps became exceptionally easy.

"Have you ever heard of the song 'Curtis Ann'?"

Perhaps because he was too comfortable with the dance, César had the leisure to chat with Yulina while guiding her to dance.

Yulina nodded slightly. "You've heard of the song that the bards of the Nine Lights Empire wrote inspired by the Goddess of Destruction, right?"

Although she had never taken dance lessons, Yulina had read all kinds of books since she was young. She knew the history of the Camelot Empire and even other empires in the Western Continent very well.

All of this is preparation for the king selection ceremony.

"The song we are dancing to now is 'Ke9肆⑻儿偲`｀⒊≈钐ˉ〗裬∩≠瞴●“刺. ⊥蝟４折代購: Tisian'?" Yulina asked.

Xizel shook his head slightly: "I just suddenly remembered something about the Goddess of Destruction, and some of the dance music she created came to my mind."

He stared into Yulina's eyes and continued, "This dance music is not "Kurtisian", but one of the songs in the work "The Tempest". You should have read the related story, right?"

Yulina nodded gently: "The book says that The Tempest is a symphony praising the goddess of life. It symbolizes rebirth."

At this point, Yulina was quite puzzled and asked: "Why did Master Xizel suddenly ask such a thing?"

Xizel smiled and said, "Don't you think it's very appropriate now?"

Yulina couldn't help but be stunned.

It is indeed a very appropriate scene now. The two little flowers that should have been destroyed by the storm hugged each other tightly. After being baptized by the "storm", they were reborn in this dance.

Seeing Xizel's smile, Yulina quickly broke into a bright smile: "That's true."

For the first time, someone truly recognized her beauty, and then, for the first time, she attended a dance.

And…it was the first time a boy asked her to dance.

And the person who did all this was actually the same person.

In the past, Yulina never thought that she would accept a dance invitation from the opposite sex one day.

After all, she never thought that she would have a fiancé one day.

"It's almost over. When the song ends, spin around and try your best to find №∞ＱUn:衈⑼〔私〔晽◆］⑷⑶〔÷⒌⑹４Okay, I will never let you fall."

At this moment, the boy's voice came to her ears, bringing Yulina back to reality.

She subconsciously looked up. Under the brilliant lights, the gentlemen and ladies around them had formed a circle with them as the center. The two of them were in this circle, just like the real protagonists of tonight's dance.

No...it should be said that tonight's dinner was a stage carefully prepared for them.

And now, whether it was to see them make a fool of themselves or out of simple politeness, everyone tacitly gave the most dazzling positions to tonight's male and female protagonists.

Yulina hummed softly, and then when the symphony was about to reach its climax, she suddenly whispered, "I always found it difficult to accept your Majesty's marriage proposal."

Hearing this, Xizel couldn't help but said helplessly: "Then I'll do the same as you."

The three major families secretly promoted the marriage, and Her Majesty the Queen granted the marriage... Neither he nor Yulina had any choice from the beginning.

At this time, she continued, "But now I suddenly feel that your Majesty's marriage is not a bad thing."

"At least, if it weren't for His Majesty's arrangement of marriage, we wouldn't have met each other." Yulina's voice was not loud, and was even drowned out by the sound of the symphony for a while.

And at the climax of the finale, Yulina suddenly spun under César's palm, her gorgeous black dress blooming like a black rose, her skirt fluttering, and the moment her slender high heels touched the ground, the sound of her heels seemed even more crisp and pleasant than the afterglow of the finale.

At this moment, it was as if the whole world was silent and all eyes were involuntarily fixed on the silver-haired girl. Compared to her past self-abased self who always kept her head down in public, at this moment Yulina was as confident as a proud swan.

It seemed that all the noblemen present were attracted for a moment, their eyes filled with some special emotion.

Until the end of the song, people seemed to have not reacted yet.

I don't know who started to applaud first, and then there were scattered applause in the ball, and then, thunderous applause rang out in the golden hall.

With the support of César's palm, Yulina slowly steadied her body. Her dance skirt spread out and then gathered together, revealing only a pair of delicate little feet, her fair skin showing against the black high heels.

César bowed before her, and Yurina returned the greeting.

She had just seen the girl next to her return the greeting, so she roughly knew what to do.

Because of the dance just now, her silver hair stuck to her smooth forehead, and seemed to be shining with brilliant golden light under the crystal chandelier.

Cesar whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Look next to you."

Yulina subconsciously turned her head and saw countless nobles at the ball. Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, they all applauded at this moment.

This scene also made Yulina stunned.

"They are indeed afraid of you, but it's not just because of the characteristics of a witch... it's a rumor."

"But they also cheer you on when you do well, like they did tonight."

"ba≡×wu▲■qiliuliusan√sisier浇…>Tumor Group◆→: It's not just because you dance well or something like that…"

Xizel said softly: "Because... you are the third princess."

The future princess who will participate in the royal selection ceremony.

If he was really useless, how could he be chosen by the king?

Unlike the powerful Sixth Princess, the Third Princess has actually always been very restrained.

Because of her witch characteristics, she lacks confidence.

And this dance tonight will be the beginning of her regaining confidence.

After one dance ended, the symphony orchestra of the ball was preparing for the next song, and César pulled Yulina off the stage.

After watching Yulina return to her seat, César came to Isabella's side.

The maid handed him a towel and said calmly, "You really stole the show tonight."

When César was sitting alone in the corner eating, she had thought that this young man was just going to eat at the ball.

I didn't expect this to happen at the critical moment.

If there were still people who suspected at the beginning that César and the Third Princess would break up because of this engagement, then tonight César broke people's doubts in a very straightforward and direct way.

Although the dance just now had many flaws, you have to know that the Third Princess had never learned any dance systematically before.

But tonight, the cooperation with César was particularly tacit.

But if this is the case...wouldn't it be more difficult to break off the engagement?

Isabella whispered, "How do you want to break off the engagement later?"

Once Xizel confirmed that he did not dislike and was even happy to accept the marriage with the Third Princess, it would be even more unrealistic to mention this matter to Her Majesty the Queen.

Xizel shook his head and smiled: "Then I won't cancel the engagement for now."

"Of course, I won't marry her for the time being."

When Yulina successfully becomes the successor to Her Majesty the Queen at the Royal Selection Ceremony, or even when the current Queen abdicates, Yulina will become the new Empress.

After that, isn't it up to Yulina to decide whether to cancel the engagement?

After all, those behind the scenes will probably do everything they can to prevent them from getting married.

They even secretly regretted pushing for this marriage.

"We have a huge advantage now!" said César with a smile.

Isabella said nothing, but gave her young master a meaningful look.

Although there is nothing wrong with what César said if you think about it carefully, he seems to have missed a sensitive issue.

Now, everything that the young master is considering is based on the premise that Yulina will inherit the throne in the future and then cancel the engagement.
