Soon, a maid arrived at the door, knocked gently, and said, "Master..."
"Didn't I tell you not to wake me up?" Cesar yawned lazily.
The maid explained softly: "No, a guest just visited Pound Manor and said he was looking for you..."
"You came to see me so early in the morning?"
Xizel was stunned, and then asked: "Who is it?"
"The third daughter of the Christian family..." the maid said respectfully.
The Third Princess Yulina, is she my fiancée... She came to Pound Manor?
Xizel suddenly woke up from his sleepy state. His expression was confused at first, then gradually calmed down, and finally turned into an interesting smile.
It's really interesting... He was originally planning to meet his fiancée, but he didn't expect her to come to him on her own initiative.
So...what on earth is she doing here?
Breaking off the engagement?
Or... is there another purpose?
When he thought of this, Xizel couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Chapter 10 Let’s cooperate, Miss Yulina!
Deep inside the Pound Manor, a young girl was sitting on a soft sofa with her hands folded on her knees, waiting for someone to arrive.
This is the central hall of Pound Manor. It is decorated entirely in silver and white tones. On the right side of the corridor are rows of floor-to-ceiling windows.
Everywhere you look, there is pure white. The curtains in the entire hall flutter in the breeze, making it quiet and comfortable.
The maids of the manor stood respectfully on one side, ready to take orders at any time.
"Cesare Pound was spoiled by his family for the first 16 years of his life, which led to his rebellious character in the past."
"He also has a childhood sweetheart, Novia from the Rhinehart family."
"It's obvious that Reinhardt was involved in the push for your engagement with César... I think Novia was also involved."
Yulina's confidant respectfully handed her a cup of black tea and said, "She would give her childhood sweetheart to someone else. It's enough to imagine how much Novia hates this young master of the Pound family."
Yulina sat quietly in the central hall, took the black tea handed to her by the maid and took a sip.
After a long while, she said softly, "Miss Novia may have been in a similar situation as I am now."
That's why she secretly pushed for this engagement, in order to eliminate the possibility of marrying César forever.
"Wait a minute, what are you going to say to Master Xizel?" the confidant asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I just want to talk to Xizel."
Yulina said softly, "After all, he is my fiancé, so I have to see what he looks like."
"Aren't you curious about what kind of person César is?" she asked softly.
Hearing this, the confidant could not help but remain silent.
If Yulina had asked her what kind of person César was two days ago, she would have been able to answer it immediately.
Arrogance, willful behavior, and obsession with beauty... these were the labels that César had in the past.
however……
After what happened last night, both Yulina and her confidants suddenly felt that they could not understand this boy.
Awakening extraordinary powers depends not only on luck, but also on the "favor" of the goddess of fate and one's own talent.
Perhaps, the youngest son of the Pound family is not as bad as people say.
"After all, this is a marriage granted by Her Majesty the Queen. It would be a bit presumptuous to propose to cancel the engagement now."
Yulina said softly, "You have already given a lot to help me."
When she finished speaking, there was a hint of darkness in the depths of her bright red eyes.
Unlike most of the king's chosen ones, Yulina was born in a humble family. When her father was traveling abroad in his early years, he fell in love with a commoner by chance and gave birth to a girl named Yulina Christian.
Not long after that, her biological mother died, and her father brought Yulina back to the family.
But due to her humble birth and her natural silver hair and red eyes, Yulina has always been unpopular among people.
In the Camelot Empire, silver hair and red eyes are an ominous symbol, because it is exactly the same as the witch who sleeps in the forbidden land.
When the forbidden witch awakens, the whole world will be shrouded in boundless fear... Even now, similar legends are still circulating in the Camelot Empire.
Born to be viewed through tinted glasses, coupled with her own witch-like characteristics, Yulina has always had a difficult time.
But under such circumstances, she still walked step by step to today and became the future king's chosen one.
If you must say, Yulina and César are two extremes.
The former was born in a humble family but became the king's chosen one through his own efforts, while the latter... was born in Rome but has always been self-indulgent.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I didn't know there would be guests visiting today, so I was lazy and slept a little longer."
While the master and servant were still chatting in low voices, the gentle voice of a young man suddenly came from not far away.
Yulina subconsciously turned her head and saw the rumored dandy young master.
The boy's soft hair was a little messy and lazy. He was wearing simple and plain clothes. His tender white collarbone was faintly revealed under his collar. His black eyes were stained by the sunlight coming in from the window, which made his black hair have a charming luster.
He is a very good-looking young man. Even in the aristocratic circle of the royal city, such appearance is rare. If he dresses up a little, I think he should be able to charm a lot of noble ladies at the ball.
No wonder I heard that Cesar had several girlfriends before. With such a background and good looks...it is really easy for him to pursue a girl.
"Are you Miss Yulina?"
While Yulina was still secretly looking at Xizel, the boy was also looking at her, and soon a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Just like the rumors, quite beautiful."
Yulina was wearing a simple and low-key black robe. The slightly bulky robe completely hid the girl's graceful figure.
But even so, through the white skin faintly visible under the black robe, it is not difficult to judge what a beautiful face the girl has.
Normally, one should be happy to hear others' praise, but when Yulina heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Do you believe what I say, Master Cesar?"
Hearing this, Xizel was slightly stunned: "What I just said was not against my heart."
"I heard that the extraordinary power you awakened can sense a person's emotional fluctuations, right? You should be able to tell immediately whether I am lying or not."
The boy's eyes were extremely sincere, as if he was just describing a very ordinary thing.
But Yulina's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
The flowing wind told her that Cesar was not lying.
But why… ?
Thinking of this, Yulina looked at Xizel twice more in confusion. The moment their eyes met, she immediately looked away and said faintly: "Your aesthetic taste seems to be different from others."
"The forbidden witch... aren't you afraid of her?"
Xizel looked at the maid beside him who brought him tea and asked casually, "Is Miss Yulina a forbidden witch?"
Yulina shook her head: "Of course not, but my characteristics..."
Xizel interrupted with a smile: "Since you are not her, why should I be afraid of you? Can you still eat me?"
Yulina opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back in the end.
4For a moment I did not know how to answer.
0 She thought about César's reaction when she saw him... disgust, disdain, or even hysterical anger.
㈣After all, his fiancée is a girl with the same characteristics as the witch.
San Ke now...
The scene that Wu expected did not appear at all.
⑹Cesare...what is he thinking about?
Yurina couldn't help but secretly peek at the boy, only to find that he was also looking at her with a sincere smile on his face.
There is no doubt that César was not just being polite.
Because when he saw the Third Princess, Xizel sincerely thought she was beautiful.
As for the reason...does this even need a reason?
This one has silver hair and red eyes!
How many Chinese can resist the charm of white hair? !
After all, praising a girl's beauty does no harm and can also make her feel more favorable towards him. So why not do it?
Looking at Yulina who was silent for a while, Xizel walked over to sit opposite her, smiled and said: "Miss Yulina came to Pound Manor to see me early in the morning, maybe there is something going on?"
"Is it to cancel the engagement or something like that?"
Yulina came back to her senses and shook her head gently: "I'm not here to ask you to break off the engagement... After all, this is a marriage granted by Her Majesty the Queen, and it's not something you and I can decide."
After learning about the marriage arranged by Her Majesty the Queen, she had always wanted to find some time to see what the youngest son of the Pound family looked like.
It was just the internal pressure of the Christian family that kept her from moving freely.
After all, not all members of the Christian family currently support Yulina, and many are still in a wait-and-see stage.
Especially after learning that Yulina was engaged to the rich young master of the Pound family, these people were even considering giving up supporting Yulina.
However, last night, after the news that Xizel had awakened his extraordinary powers spread overnight, some powerful elders in the clan were a little shaken.
In the past, they were not optimistic about the engagement between Cesare and Yulina because it was impossible for the good-for-nothing young master to inherit the Pound family in the future.
But last night Duke Oka held a grand banquet, clearly showing his support for Cesare.
The Grand Duke obviously knew all about the tricks in the engagement, but he turned a blind eye and let the young people have fun on their own.
However, the simple banquet last night made those nobles who originally did not think highly of César start to pay attention to the young master of the Pound family again.
It was also because of this banquet that Yulina was able to go to Pound Manor to meet her fiancé whom she had never met before.
"Master Xizel, don't you want to cancel the engagement?" Yulina suddenly asked softly.
Xizel asked in confusion: "Why do you want to cancel the engagement?"
Yulina was startled: "Because I am..."
Before he finished speaking, César suddenly said casually: "Ms. Yulina, there is no one else here, can you take off your hat?"
Yulina hesitated for a moment, and realized that the boy was looking at her quietly.
Finally, she gently took off the hood that she had been using to cover her silver hair.
This was also the first time that the girl revealed her true face to a strange boy. Her long, silver, soft hair was loose, and a few strands of hair fell on her pure and pretty oval face.
Under the gray sky, the faint light that came through illuminated the pair of bright red eyes, like rubies. At first glance, they seemed to have the charm of a mixed-race beauty.
"As expected, white fur looks better..." Xizel couldn't help but sigh.
His brother was a very nice person, and he actually sent a girl with white hair and red eyes to him...
Noticing the boy's gaze, Yulina seemed uncomfortable. She lowered her head a little shyly and put her hood back on.
Xizel quickly gathered his thoughts and continued the previous topic: "Ms. Yulina, I am not going to cancel the engagement."
"Not only that, I want to help you."
Yulina subconsciously raised her head and looked at Xizel in disbelief, but she heard him continue, "Let's work together."
"Let those who pushed for this marriage see... what a stupid decision they made."
It was just a simple sentence, but it caused ripples in Yulina's heart.
A dandy young master who has always been secretly looked down upon by others, working with a girl who has always been looked at with tinted glasses?
Sounds like a very interesting thing...:
The girl's eyes flickered slightly, and for some reason, she felt an inexplicable expectation in her heart.
At this time, Cesar had already stood up and stretched out his hand.
Looking at the boy's sincere eyes, Yulina stood up and slowly stretched out her hand.
However, when her fingertips were about to touch him, she hesitated and wanted to retract her hand.
