Chapter 32 - Coming of Age Ceremony (II) (1/2)

The moonlight splashed down its watery white-silver glow onto the Imperial capital, bathed them, illuminated them.

Within the festival hall, a silver moonlight spilled into the room through the windows as though it did not want to miss Shad's coming of age ceremony either. It really was a beautiful sight.

Currently, Shad was in the dance floor, dancing with a ravishing young lady. Everyone gave them at least three meters of space.

The young lady's beauty was peerless to the point that it even brightened the whole room. Even the beauty of the bright moonlight seemed to fade when facing hers.

The girl was around the age of nineteen to twenty. Her features resembled a masterpiece painting, her thinly plucked eyebrows were arched perfectly around her shining crescent eyes. Her lips were like the world's most delicate petals and her nose was of the most beautiful of sculptured white jade.

” Were you able to decipher the book, your highness?” Asked the young lady as they were dancing gently in the dance floor.

” Unfortunately not, however, I find this mysterious language very intriguing and I hope to decipher it one day,” answered Shad as he was measuring the young lady's beauty with his unblinking eyes.

The young lady's eye flashed with a look of loss when she heard Shad's answer and then reverted back to normal in a flash. However, this quick change did not escape Shad's sharp eyesight.

' you must have been crazy, even if I knew the contents of that book, there was no way I was going to admit it to you. Do you think that I was some idiot.' he thought.

This young lady was none other than Lisa the young lady of the Bennett family, one of the four ancient noble families of the Djage Empire. While Shad was eating and chatting happily with his family, this young lady had asked him to dance. In front of all those people as well as his family, Shad did not dare to refuse, not to mention this young lady wasn't bad either.

” Too bad because I had three more volumes of the same book in my house but with different contents in them. I guessed we would never know what kind of secrets those book held,” she said with a long sigh.

Listening to her, Shad's heart skipped a bit. A diary was something personal how come there more than one, plus they were written by the same person. Shad began to think that he had been scammed by that person.

” How come there's more? I thought it was the only one,” Asked Shad. His tone was the same as though he was not surprised by this sudden news.

” It's a long story. After some research, my family had found out that there were four more books like the one we acquired. But soon, we realized that even if the book had the same name on the covers, the contents were totally different.”

” How did you guys know they weren't the same when you could not even decipher them?.”

The letters used in the English alphabet were totally different from the ones they used in the Egul continent. They were like Asian alphabet and English alphabet unless one studied them and understood them, it would almost be impossible to know the difference, especially the people living in the Egul continent. It was as though they were a bunch of native English speaker trying to read a Chinese letter for the first time.
