Chapter 420: Are You Truly Her Parents? (1/2)
”It's truly a pleasant surprise to meet you, Prince Lin Xiao.” Lu Jian's father had good impression of Lin Xiao after talking for some time. He nodded to the young prince before him. ”I wish you luck.”
”Many thanks for your well wishes, Mr. Lu.”
Lin Xiao felt a bit exhausted talking with polite speech but he continued to greet others. There were many people whom he didn't know but those who came with good intention would naturally be greeted with him politely. Those who didn't have interest in him didn't even get close to him.
After some time, he glanced over to Princess Lan Yi Hua. ”Are you tired?”
”This is nothing.”
Banquet like this was not that uncommon for Princess Lan Yi Hua. For her, staying in the same place and acted polite was something that was very common and didn't require much effort. She did act polite to those who were polite to her, but towards others, she had wooden expression.
”It's quite a surprise, though,” Princess Lan Yi Hua added at the end of her sentence.
”Yes?”
”There are more polite people who are greeting us than what I expected at first. The nobles in Sun Dragon are much better than the one in Hua Lan Kingdom.”
Lin Xiao really wanted to hug Princess Lan Yi Hua right now and soothe her so badly. He could guess that the treatment she got back in Hua Lan Kingdom was bad because the Emperor didn't care for him. Since the Emperor openly didn't favor his daughter, the others clearly didn't show any favor to her at all.
But right now, she was also the wife of a prince. While the prince's position was not that low, he was also quite a genius. Many of them didn't want to make an enemy out of nowhere and since the Emperor himself didn't say anything, they also didn't make any move.
”Hmm?”
As they walked to one corner, Lin Xiao sensed faint pressure. He glanced to the side and saw a middle aged man, whom he quickly recognized as the Emperor due to the sheer pressure he generated, looked at the two of them. The gaze he gave was not friendly at all and Lin Xiao felt Princess Lan Yi Hua tensed up beside him.
”You finally return back, you ungrateful daughter.” The man's tone was harsh. Even though they were in front of so many people, it didn't look like he had any intention of showing love nor kindness to the girl.
Princess Lan Yi Hua looked back at the middle aged man, the Emperor, without any fear whatsoever within her gaze. ”I never have any plan to return back. Didn't your plan of sending me to Sun Kingdom is simply to sell me away.”
”You'll return back and divorce him.”
”I won't.”
”Do you really think that you can go against me?” As Hua Lan Kingdom Emperor asked, he released a huge amount of pressure from his body. His eyes were looking at his daughter with fury and rage.
Swish!
Faint Qi spread from Lin Xiao, soothing Princess Lan Yi Hua beside him. They were two ranks below the Emperor, but Lin Xiao's Qi characteristic was more than enough to help Princess Lan Yi Hua to calm down considerably.
