Chapter 251 (1/2)
Seth’s tone, the look in his eyes, and the smile on his face were clearly the standard characteristics of a woe of fainting
His Royal Highness Aven, as standing nearby, had that ghastly look on his face as if soht in his eyes faded, and he was near to tears He mumbled to himself in utter despair, ”Surely sheshe doesn’t have the same interests as the Consortdoes she?”
The Senior Priave Aven a sly saying, ‘Ah, I see’
Nedis subconsciously took a step back and turned her head away to avoid Seth’s hands There was an odd look on her face She forced a smile and said, ”Miss Nicole…”
Rody irabbed Seth and spoke with his teeth clenched, ”Miss Nicole, I would like to have a feords with Miss Nedis”
Seth’s eyes flashed withwhen he felt a sharp pain in his arot it” Rody was pleased, but he wickedly said, ” Well then, please have a chat with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince while Miss Nedis and I excuse ourselves for a moment”
The Crown Prince must have had been so devastated He now looked at Seth with a sober gaze, there was even a hint of horror in his eyes
Rody led Nedis aside and asked in a low voice, ”Why are you here on the Roland Continent?”
Nedis gave Rody a resentful look ”Why can’t I come here?” She then added, ”I’ve come here to hide from my enemies”
Rody nodded ”Those vampires?”
”They’re called the Vampire Tribe!” Her face was serious ”The Vaht! At least I’hed and said, ”Thank you for not exposing us just now”
Nedis smiled, ”You mean that ‘Miss Nicole’? She sure does look like Nicole, but what are you guys up to?”
”It’s a bit complicated” Rody hesitated for a while and decided not to tell her He changed the topic again, ”What’s the current situation in the Empire? Did you come from the West Hill City? Uh to ask about the Tulip’s ht security! Besides, the Vampire Tribe did not know that the real culprit who killed Lulu was you! They thought it was me, so they will not bother you and Miss Nicole!”
Nedis paused as she realized her tone was too harsh She sighed, then continued in a soft voice, ”Darke is here with ht As the Temple of Roland Continent is very powerful, the Vampire Tribe is not that active here, so I’m quite safe for now But you, why have you been sent here?”
Their brief conversation ended when a royal chamberlain’s loud clear voice announced, ”The arrival of His Majesty the King and Her Highness Consort Rulan!”
The noises in the hall stopped abruptly The perfor music and stood up, hands placed by their sides Instantly, a group of servants clad in bright unifor Sauron and Consort Rulan strode into the hall with their heads held high
This was the second tih he had aze fell on her, he al a black gown—Rody could not help but wonder how own?
Physically the King was not short in stature, but when he stood beside his oversized Consort, he looked like a s to put up a pretense of being ‘gentle’ and ‘quiet’
Everyone else in the hall did not look surprised at all They seeh the corners of their mouth twitched as they tried to suppress their s, however, was calm and steady There were no flaws in his expression as if nothing was amiss at all Rody definitely had to adhed and whispered to Nedis, ”I suggest you stay away froht Please make sure she doesn’t see you ”
”Why?”
Rody smiled wryly and replied, ”If you do not wish to be hit on twice by woht, you should listen tosolelass froave a short speech, ”My dear guests, I thank you all for your presence tonight Special thanks to Earl Rody from the Empire of Radiant! To the future of the Roland Continent! Cheers!”
”Cheers!” Together, the guests replied to the toast and finished their wine in one gulp
As the banquet continued, the King caught sight of Rody and strode in his direction When Rody saw Consort Rulan walking by the King’s side, he quickly signaled to Nedis
Nedis took a glance at the Consort’s appearance, Rody’s warning about being hit on by woh she herself was extreht In haste, she told hiarden” And she scurried away
Before Rody could answer, the King had called out to him, ”Lord Rody”
”Your Majesty!” Rody nodded in response He could iaze from the Consort
”So it’s you? You’re Earl Rody, the Special Envoy from Radiant Empire?” Rulan squinted her eyes—her eyes were in fact just two crevices, one could not tell hness, please accept ain I certainly did not htly
Consort Rulan snorted, not wanting to accept his apology, but she could not resist asking, ”Did you co for Mouse who was a bit aard as he spoke in a subdued tone, ”Rody, I’ve heard about what happened in thePlease do not take it personally”
When Rulan’s search for Mouse failed, she turned her head and asked, ”Lord Rody, where is your fe?”
