Chapter 276 “Major event!” (part two)
Angel's heart inexplicably juh she doesn't understand thecry faintly told her this had soe
“Regarding the Elven race's history and civilization, I don't know much either In fact, our father is the same We may be a cross between human and elves, but by today's standard we are no different froular human for the elven blood in our veins is too thin to affect us Moreover, after so enerations of inheritance, there's bound to be certain pieces of infor so to the lost history and literature of our family, but there's only so much left after a millennium of tarnish”
“Then, what’s the use of this-this ‘Thousand Year Gaze’……?
Looking at her sister’s puzzled expression, Mrs Lister’s eye revealed a hint of piety:
“Father had once explained to est life span ao up to a thousand years, and this ‘Thousand Year Gaze’ is said to the fruit of love produced froends, whenever a flower elf wishes to court the opposite sex, the couple will pick one of these fruits If consumed, the till forever fall in love!”
Angel's eye brightened: “Fall in Love?”
”That's right, fall in love” Mrs Lister whispered: “The way to use it is to have both parties gaze into each other's eye When their sight makes contact, that is when the fruit must be consumed to activate its power From then on, both will become lovers with an unbreakable bond…”
Angel can only feel her heart pounding like it can't be stopped: ”As long as they eat it… And make eye contact, that's all?”
Mrs Lister glances at her sister: “What, you want to use it?”
Angel's face blushed red, her thoughts obvious to read But with another thought, Angel realizes that her elder sister likely didn't bring the seed out for her to consume, but for herself
At the thought, the girl’s face instantly went pale
Seeing her younger sister's expression, Mrs Lister can easily guess why: ”My dear sister… This seed ive it to you to use It can only be consumed by me”
“Why-Why!!” Angel suddenly cried, “If you had such a thing to begin with, why didn't you take it out earlier? If you had given it to me, I-I…”
“You wouldn't have suffered like so, right? That's what you wanted to say?” Mrs Lister sighs: ”Don't hatethis seed out either because once consue, even for a flower elf”
“Harm?”
Mrs Lister s a cruel fact: ”The loss of life!”
Then her tongue grew cold: “Father told me, a pure flower elf can have a life expectancy of up to a thousand years, but… Once they consu their life for love! According to what I know, a flower elf would lose approxi five hundred years! Naturally, due to our thin elf lineage, the members of our family can never match up to a real flower elf Take our father for exa away So, if we consume this seed like our ancestors did, I fear on't live pass forty…”
By the time the last feords left her mouth, the Marquise's voice was obviously shaky
Likewise, Angel was also bloay by the information
Mrs Lister showed a ghastly s our fa desire is to let you and Muse live a happy life I-I've already devoted my life to the family, but I don't want to see you and Muse fall into the sa and beautiful with many years of wonder to come… We carry the blood of elves in our veins so your youth will continue for a long tie, he reood life, so I won't permit you to end it short!”
Angel began to tre out, she pleads, “No! Please no! Sister, you can't eat this thing, otherwise you will… will…”
“Then I will only have a few years left” Mrs Lister’s voice was cal as I can make him love me, then I will do it I will have hi within ive birth to a child of his! After a few years, el, our family needs an heir, don't you understand this?!”
“But-but this is not… Not going to work…” Angel suddenly fell into tears: ”But this way you will… I don't want to see you die!” At last she couldn't bare it any her elder sister
Letting her dear sister cry her hearts out in while her erasp and whispered: ”I've made up my mind for the situation leaves me no choice”
As Angel continues to weep, Mrs Lister consoles her using soothing words: “My sister, I know you like Du Wei in your heart… hmm, after I die, he will take care of you based on our bond At that time, there's bound to be opportunities for you… And, fortunately…”
She reluctantly smiled: “Fortunately,only works on the elven race In other words, the dae demerits will not hurt Du Wei's life”
Seeing Angel had no intent of stopping those tears of hers, Mrs Lister hardens her tone: ”That's enough, don't cry anyeether with the wine Other than having a calredients can also ht's cereive Du Wei a toast! At that time…”
She stretches out a slender finger and nipped her thin nail against the ”Thousand Year Gaze” seed, thus dividing it in two
This engageanized in haste, but considering Du Wei’s status and wealth, everything's in order
Those present for the event would naturally include his subordinates within the city Then there are also the two disciples froe roups
In the evening when the sun has just set, the dinner party officially began
In the grand ballroom of the Duke's castle, this room that had hosted Du Wei's fifteenth birthday will also take host to Du Wei's engagement ceremony
There were hundreds of guests gathered in the ballroom Aside from Du Wei's own people, there are also officials from Governor Bohan's side and several senior officers froiment
According to the Roland continent's custom, thethe initial phase for the uests Then under the auspices of the faement will be completed under the public's witness
And now, Vivian was dutifully experiencing the greatest happiness of her life in the back room Shy and nervous, severalthis lovely maiden with dresses and makeup
While in the banquet hall, Du Wei was fending off the endless aot the number of ”Thank You” he returned
But this was only the appetizer; the best was yet to come
As tradition de Du Wei to a drink during the party! If he can't finish each toast he's given, he can't proceed to the next part!
The implication of this act was: The road to love is as intoxicating and mellow as the wine
The ood, but more often than not; the hs a the crowds
Currently Mrs Lister and her sister had positioned the for Du Wei to finish his rounds of toasting with the other guests
Fortunately the guests were aware of Du Wei's identity and weren't overly presumptuous in their act They did as traditions called for, but every cup they poured was shallow and htly tipsy by the end
Alas, the time has come for Mrs Lister to come forward The moment she stepped out of the crowd, the rooe eyes focused on the lady
The reaction from everyone was to be expected, after all, the uproar froe was a well-known secret

Disregarding the looks co her way, Mrs Lister reirl tightly holding a small wine bottle in hand This pair of flower sisters was bewitchingly beautiful under the illu everyone to recall the scene of the Madao in this very same ballroom
But now, everything has changed with theto marry another woood
In particularly was young Angel for shewith sorrow, that weak and helpless appearance of a yearning floould o crazy
Though everyone's sentiel weren't entirely incorrect, it only ht noas for her own sister! Because once the Mada to live!
As such, Angel with the bottle in hand had the strong desire to smash the container froaze, Angel lost every nerve to take action
And ahts: will tonight turn into an entertaining play where three women compete for one husband? That will be quite the funny scene! Ah whatever! Let's wait and see what the Madam will do when she toasts
Du Wei came in front of the Madam, his face a little aard Nevertheless, this discomfort only lasted a moment before he recomposed himself
“Mrs Lister” Du Wei slightly bows his body: ”Thank you for co”
Mrs Lister slightly shakes her head, sighing with a smile: ”Duke needn't be polite; it's our honor to be invited to this gathering… Please, please accept ”
