Chapter 25 The King’s speech

Next was a time of chaotic dance learning . I only remembered that my eyes kept looking at my feet in order not to step on the little girls’ toes . It was hard to imagine how other people managed not to step on their dance partners’ toes with their eyes looking into each other! I remembered that my left foot stepped on my right foot for like thirty times and likewise my right foot stepped on my left foot . It was a miracle that I didn’t fall off for the half an hour I danced .

When I stopped to rest, I was really tired . Dancing should not be viewed as a very intense activity . But I was already sweating through . The wounds on my body started to hurt! Even though I was not in a good shape, the little girl was still very high . It seemed that she still wanted to dance .

"Are you all right? You look terrible!” She said to me .

"Nothing serious! I just needed to take a break . . . You don't need to wait for me, you can go find someone else . Ying Luo is still waiting for you over there, isn’t it? ”

"I don't like him," The little girl said to me simply . “As my cousin, he always acts strictly me! ”

"He is your cousin?"

"Yes! His father is my father's elder brother . . . Don’t you know that?"

"Your father’s elder brother . . . Strange, shouldn’t the crown be inherited by the eldest son of the throne?”

"Yeah . . . His father died early when he was too young . So his father left his words that my father should inherit the crown…”

It’s strange . If that was the case, then it should be Ying Luo who become the next King? Since the current King didn’t have any son . It was logical to let Ying Luo inherit the crown…Why did Ying Luo tell me those things the other? The thing that the husband of the princess would be the next King…Was it because…No wonder the King wanted me to give up the right to marry the princess . Now I knew why!

“Can we go dancing?" The little girl started to remind me again!

An accident saved me, the music suddenly stopped . Everyone knew that the Majesty would soon announce the important thing in public! All the guests, including me, moved to the dance floor to wait for the King’s speech .

This speech was indeed about the promise the King made . He started with the opening words and then went straight into the theme . He explained that the princess’ husband would become the next King . Then he announced that I had given up the right to marry the princess .

" . . . My daughter is already sixteen years old . It is time to choose her own future . Therefore, I have given the symbol of royal inheritance, the sapphire bracelet to her . I let her make her own choice…”

Sapphire bracelet . . . Was it that sapphire bracelet! The symbol of royal inheritance? The sapphire on the bracelet was indeed very big…Big enough that I also stole it! Speaking of the sapphire bracelet…I couldn’t help but to touch my own pocket . Fortunately, it was no longer with me! Wait! Sixteen years old?! The little girl was already sixteen years old???

The little girl appeared next to the King, wearing the sapphire bracelet on her hand . She looked over at me and I quickly moved my eyes off her!

If the husband whom the little girl picked would become the next King, what about Ying Luo? I didn’t want to think any further . I said to myself . I would leave here once I fully recovered . What happened to this country had nothing to do with me! Nothing to do with me at all!

I sneaked out just as the King was finishing his speech . The dance had yet resumed . Anyways, my use here was over now . It was just to torture to me dancing with the little girl!

It seemed that almost all the people were here in the dance floor now . Except for the few guards on duty, there were no more people outside . It was a quiet evening . The moonlight was sprinkling down like water and the stars in the sky were sparkling like eyes watching this mortal world, watching every move of the little creatures on earth!

I slowly walked to my room, enjoying the quiet night, with a feeling that was hard to describe! Perhaps I’ve had several nights like this in the past, but I had never felt it with my heart like this! I took off the mask on my face slowly, checking it over in my hand . I had been using this half-faced mask to cover up my face, preventing people from seeing the red light in my left eye . But, was the eye the only thing I wanted to cover up with my mask? Maybe there was something more than the surface that I wanted to cover up!

It was quiet in the surroundings . There was no one around! I took off the black glass on my eyes . When my hands moved up from my eyes, I saw the red reflection on my hand! This is a sign of my alliance with the dark force . This red light was hard to hide even in daylight . But once I put on the black glass I made myself, my eyes would be no different from ordinary people . No one had ever suspected that I was a Necromancer . I had never felt people’s alien look!

I would probably live like this forever! I knew I had no courage to get rid of the mask and the black glass . I wasn’t brave enough to walk in the crowd without the two things . From some certain perspective, I was afraid to be viewed as an alien…

A rustling sound interrupted my thoughts . I turned to the source of the sound and put the glass lens on my eyes as fast as I can! "Who!"

No one answered, but I knew the sound was from a bush nearby . I stared there, if someone just saw it all…

I walked over and set aside the dense foliage . But there was nothing in the bush .

Another night wind blew over, causing some more rustling in the wood!

Maybe I was too sensitive . Maybe it was the wind blowing and the sound from the wind just now! I looked around . The bright moonlight brightened the entire area . If there was anyone suspicious, I should have noticed earlier! It must be an illusion just now!

I didn’t have the mood to enjoy the walk by the sudden disruption . I felt a bit distraught . It was better to get back to my room quickly! With another two or more days—no, maybe the day after tomorrow, I would farewell to the King and leave this country!

I turned into the corridor from the garden and walked in fast . My room was right there . I turned around the corner and almost ran into someone standing in front of me!

"Ah!" Fortunately, I reacted quickly and stopped right before hitting onto him . I focused down and realized it was the little girl standing in front of me . She was standing in front of my room, motionless! She must have taken a shortcut here . After all, she knew the palace better than I did!

“Why did you suddenly leave? Isn’t it fun to dance with me?” she said a little faintly .

"I just don't want to dance!" I replied . Dancing may be a good entertainment for her, but it was a torture for me!
“Why did you suddenly leave? Isn’t it fun to dance with me?” she said a little faintly .

"I just don't want to dance!" I replied . Dancing may be a good entertainment for her, but it was a torture for me!

She combed her hair with one hand . The sapphire on her wrist sent out a seductive glow in the dark! Too bad I had already known the real meaning of this sapphire . Anyways, this thing would never belong to me! I suddenly remembered the agreement about this sapphire .

"Are you here to tell me about this sapphire?" I said, "Reassured, it was no problem . I just intended to teach you some basic knowledge of magic . I can only be regarded as an elementary magic teach…I don’t need any tuition! Haha . If you give me the sapphire as the tuition, are you going to marry me? Haha…” I laughed softly .

"Hey, isn't that good marrying me?" She suddenly looked into my eyes, with a type of glow that I had never seen . “Or is it because I am not pretty enough for you? You prefer more mature ladies?”

I stumbled and wanted to say something, but words were stuck in my throat . The two of us stood there, face to face, no one spoke, in an awkward silence .

“I was joking!" She broke the silence, suddenly laughed and laughed . "I was just kidding! Haha . You looked very funny just now, very different from your normal time! . . . I can be assured with you saying so . I thought you will not teach me magic anymore . Haha . So when do you start the lesson?”

"Tomorrow . . . Let’s start tomorrow!" It would be enough to teach her all the basic magic in one or two days . Other masters will teach her more difficult magic!

"That's okay! See you tomorrow morning!" She ran away forward, waving me goodbye . “I will go back to the dance now! Goodbye Leiden!”

"Leiden?" I watched her disappear in the corner, realizing that she did call me “Mr”!
