YM778.TV Chapter 44.2
A series of sighs sounded down below. [The Duke of Vast Seas was really as arrogant and cold as the rumours said.]
Seeing that, Yue Xin Yan smiled elegantly and went on to raise her wine cup as well. "Thank you for the Duke of Eternal Peace and the Emperor’s generous hospitality. As the Duke of Vast Seas does not often attend such functions, I hereby plead for forgiveness if we’ve shown any discourtesy. Xin Yan shall drink up first as a show of respect!"
Warming up the awkward atmosphere without batting an eyelid.
She was the Water Edge Kingdom’s most revered princess and although she was doted upon and greatly indulged in the Water Edge Kingdom, where she was still a rather childish and mischievous little lady in private back home, her great flair as the princess of a kingdom was not just for show, the way she handled herself and her candid personality bringing about a refreshing wave to wash over the people.
That there was the true flair of n.o.bility, a grand magnanimous air that came from right in her bones.
Because of that, the Green Wave Emperor liked her very much and Yan Su also showed a sliver of a smile on his face, greatly admiring the Ninth Princess he had heard so much about.
And Yan Ning Luo who was seated in the first row among the womenfolk held quite a complicated looking gaze right at that moment.
For no other reason than the fact that Qing Ye Li had always rejected anyone from getting physically close to him. Even when he suffered heavy injuries back, he had not allowed anyone to touch him, but had forcibly endured the pain as he applied medicine and bandaged himself, while she merely watched him silently.
But at that very moment, that Yue Xin Yan was however seated right beside him, smiling brightly like a flower.
[Then, towards Yue Xin Yan..... his feelings were different?]
"That little princess’ personality is rather great." Qing Yu lowered her head to take a sip of fruit wine, as she said distractedly.
From the moment earlier when she saw the Duke of Vast Seas appear, her mind had been a little chaotic. Although she knew that it was completely impossible, she still could not help having her thoughts run wild.
The lad beside her was however too excited and did not notice anything peculiar as he whispered softly to her: "The Duke of Vast Seas really has a great commanding presence! I admire him so much!"
No matter how aloof and arrogant he was, Qing Bei felt that that was how a powerful figure should act.
Qing Yu shook her head helplessly, her chin resting in her palm, looking highly bored and lazy. Suddenly, goose b.u.mps rose up all over her body, as a incredibly strange and sinister feeling flashed very briefly past her.
A shiver ran down her spine and her originally lazy posture immediately straightened, causing Qing Bei to jump as he quickly asked: "What’s wrong Sis?"
"Nothing. I’m just feeling a little cold all of a sudden."
"Oh, a gust of wind must have blown in from someplace."
"Mm."
Qing Yu did not say anything more but to turn her body to the side slightly, to look outside the palace hall.
The moon hung high up in the sky and as the All Saints Day was nearing, the moon had rounded up quite a bit, giving out a l.u.s.trous brilliance, hazily beautiful.
Just outside the hall, a row of very tall towering trees reached towards the clouds, looking like they were almost reaching the moon, cast several faint shadows. It was very quiet outside, and not even the sound of the wind could be heard, where the trees’ branches stood stock still, not moving in the slightest.
But just a moment ago, she had clearly felt a chilly gust. Could she be mistaken?
Her senses have always been highly accurate. It was better to be a little more wary.
Up above, the Green Wave Emperor and several of the high ranking ministers were chatting with Qing Ye Li and his group, discussing about the friendly relations between the two kingdoms. They had done enough of the perfunctory pleasantries, and it was time to get into the main topic.
