Chapter 773 - Lauriel & Luna (1/2)

Tears welled up in the two brothers' eyes as they tried to hold it back. It went without saying that they already knew this girl was their mother, Princess Luna.

Nicolae now understood why Alaric didn't like how he looked, his face looked too feminine. If Alaric stood next to Princess Luna, they would look like siblings. He was the spitting image of his mother, after all.

Meanwhile, Alaric couldn't hold the tears in his eyes any longer. He tremendously loved this woman. He had dedicated almost a hundred years of his life trying to avenge his deceased mother.

But now, seeing her standing close to him as if she was alive, the emotions Alaric buried deep in heart burst out. He reached out and muttered in a poignant voice, ”Mother...”

Alaric and Nicolae could only stare as their beautiful mother walked with elegance and head held high toward Lauriel's table and crew.

”You're Boss Lauriel, aren't you?” asked Luna in a clear and firm voice, staring straight into Lauriel's eyes. The man was surprised because he didn't expect this girl would be that gorgeous and would know his name. He cleared his throat and nodded.

Luna glanced at Petra before turning her gaze back to Lauriel. ”You lost the bet on one treasure c.h.e.s.t. As you can see, my face isn't deformed like it was kicked by a horse.”

Lauriel raised his eyebrows in surprise, as did Endo, Neo, Esso, and Petra. They didn't know how this girl found out about their bet. But before they could ask any questions, Luna turned around gracefully and walked away. She joined her mother in the middle of the hall and mingled with the other guests.

The five men looked at each other trying to understand what had just happened.

”Gosh, Boss Lauriel... I think Princess Luna likes you,” Petra said. ”I'm not going to ask for her hand in marriage anymore. It's clear that she's interested in you. However, you still owe me that treasure c.h.e.s.t. I've won our bet.”

Lauriel watched Luna as she conversed with her mother, sister, and Portia, not even sparing him another glance. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and she stood up against him without flinching.

Lauriel's c.h.e.s.t trembled as he stared at the girl who had shown him a mild and indifferent attitude but far from being arrogant like most noble daughters.

”Boss, what do you think of Princess Luna?” Petra asked again. ”She's beautiful...”

Lauriel sipped his wine and shook his head. ”You know my rules, Petra. No women on the ship. Women aren't capable of living on the ship. And I'm not going to stop my adventures and be tied down. You already know that.”

Back in the Holodeck, Lauriel lowered his head as he faintly smiled beside Alaric and Nicolae when he heard his own words in the past. He used to be full of confidence and thought he would never fall in love with a woman, no matter how beautiful she was. But as it turned out, he was wrong.
