Chapter 655 - The Loyalty Oath - Part 1 (1/2)
The following day, Tang Shaoyang looked at the girl from The Arkania Continent, putting up a tie on him. It was the tie that office workers usually use, matching with his black suit outside and redshirt inside? He did not know if it matched since it was all dark, but the girls said darker attire fit him.
”Where did you get this from?” Tang Shaoyang looked at the smooth hand that tied the red tie, and he did not even know how to do it. Yes, he did not even know to put a tie, yet this girl tied it smoothly as if she had done this a lot.
”Sister Zhang Mengyao and Sister Kang Xue told me to bring this with me because we will often meet with the nobles and do some high-class stuff.” That was what they thought since they snuck into Lukan and mixed with Ashley and Prince of a kingdom. However, that never happened since they encountered the Revolution Army from the start.
”I don't like how that prince looked down at you last night. Even though he did not show it, I could tell that the Elven Crown Prince did not sincerely respect you.” Ashley said from the side as she was trying the new dress. He was trying on the light green dress, showing her smooth white back as she tied her long deep blue hair updo, similar to bun-style, but it was quite messy, not the circular bun. Not the bad messy one; it was a good messy bun style.
After trying the evening dress last night, the girl liked to try out the other dresses Selena brought with her. The light green dress was the third dress she tried from many dresses. Selena finished with the tie as she gave a final touch with a light tap on his chest.
”What with this? I think my usual clothes will be fine.” Tang Shaoyang did not like this stiff outfit. ”Nope, you have to wear this because this is an important event. You can't wear that long sleeve shirt for the oath ceremony. You have to show your dignified image, or else they will look down on you.” Selena voiced her concern. While Tang Shaoyang did not mind what others thought of him, it did matter for her.
His hand was about to shake the tie that tightened around his neck, but Selena's hand was faster. She held his wrist and shook her head. ”Nope, don't touch it! You are going to mess it up.” Selena herself was wearing the red dress. It seemed red was her favorite color.
”What about those two girls?” He addressed his new wives with those two girls. Even though they were his wives, the two were like strangers to him.
”They are trying on the dress, and they are a bit shy to wear it in front of you.” Selena smiled when she talked about those two girls. ”You should not treat them coldly, and they are not typically a bitch scheming behind you. They are genuine by marrying you, not forced as you thought to be.”
”I am not sure about that.” The one who replied was Ashley, not Tang Shaoyang. ”Especially the Moonlight Rabbit who acted cutely. She is suspicious of me.”
”They might look suspicious, but my gut feelings tell me that they don't have an evil intention toward us. In fact, I feel like they are trying to gain our trust to smooth out our relationship with The Elven Kingdom and The Moonlight Tribe.” Selena had a good impression of Aleesa and Sylvia overnight.
”I am not treating them coldly, just so you know where I come from, right? On earth, there are only humans, plants, and animals. We don't have Elf, the beastmen, demons, or other humanoid races. I don't mind them if we just see each other, but having intimate contact with them is a different thing.” Tang Shaoyang shared his thoughts.
