Chapter 363 The First Shadow
Lin Qi knew that the Duke must have kept many things unsaid. Behind his knighthood, there must be countless plans and purposes of him and the princess.
But so what?
If you get the benefits yourself, you can't help but let others realize your own goals.
With Trinleth's relationship, Lynch is willing to trust them, so let them go.
For this reason, he was in a good mood and ate half a dozen oysters in a row, which made Mrs. Maggie look at him strangely.
No, ma'am, you're overthinking it. It's just that this thing is more delicious, so I don't plan to do anything.
The princess and the duke have left, and Miss Valente and Officer Natalie have returned to him. After the Duke's suggestion, he looked at Miss Valente, and there was indeed some worry hidden under her smile. But Lynch didn't explain anything, just smiled strangely.
As for Officer Natalie, Lynch realized for the first time that this woman was so powerful in all aspects, including her appetite, she actually took it...
Before Lynch could finish recording in the detective notebook, he was kicked in the calf by the police officer.
Why are these girls getting more and more skilled? Is it an illusion?
At half past six, the dining table was removed on time.
Although it was still daylight, the giant gas lamp on the lawn in front of the door had been lit, and the bright firelight danced, making the atmosphere quietly warm.
The band played music again, and the thick symphony echoed over the Duke's Palace. More and more participants gathered from all over the Duke's Palace to the door of the Duke's Palace.
The dance is about to begin.
Well-dressed men and women gathered on the lawn in front of the door, chatting and laughing softly in the dusk. The men with other purposes kept changing the goals of their chats and continued the social interaction to the end. Women work even harder. Regardless of whether there is anyone around them, they are trying their best to show off their gorgeous clothes and beautiful gestures, with proud and confident smiles on their faces.
The wine is fragrant, the music is melodious, the jewels are shining, the clothes are dazzling, the people are singing and laughing, and they are intoxicated.
The banquet at the Duke's Palace dazzled Lynch. He sighed sincerely. Just a ball held by local dignitaries was already so luxurious. If it were an event held in the Nolin Palace, how luxurious would it be?
"Actually, it's almost the same. In order to receive Her Royal Highness Sofia, the standards of the ball are based on those in the royal capital."
Miss Valente was dressed in a dress, with a fluffy long skirt that almost dragged to the ground, and crystal high heels and thin crystals that made the nobles The young lady's petite figure has become taller. Outside her long white silk gloves, a huge sapphire is shining brightly on the ring. She is holding a glass of blood-red wine on her slender fingertips. The red and white match, which adds to the visual impact.
“Have you finished talking to Mr. Wayne? I can see that you are in a good mood and you are very satisfied with the remuneration?”
"Well, it's the most satisfying reward for me." Lin Qi looked away, half-smiling.
Miss Valente looked at Lynch's reaction, her brows filled with doubts: "Your reaction... is wrong."
Hey, why did I forget, this girl and the girl next to her The eldest sister who has already had three glasses of red wine is not from the same group. This girl is very clever.
"Looking at your reaction, your reward will not be related to me."
Lin Qi's hair was blown up, this girl must be too sensitive.
"It seems that I guessed it?" Miss Valente blinked slyly, "Then I will wait with great anticipation for you to reveal the answer to the mystery for me."
As he said that, he raised the glass, and with a slight tap from Lynch...
Ding, it happened to hit another wine glass stretched out from the side.
The girl next door who had just had four drinks successfully intercepted the wine glass with her face darker than her clothes.
"You two should just pay attention. The situation is not quite right. There are several groups of people staring, not at the princess, but at you two. There are also several reporters among them, and they are communicating with each other. I don't know what their intentions are. You'd better be careful."
Miss Valente's face darkened, but she immediately returned to normal and said with a faint smile: "Maybe Mr. Lynch's performance the day before yesterday attracted their attention. Reporters, it’s all like that, don’t worry.”
“Their main target is not Lynch, and the others are also looking at you.”
"It's not a big problem, I will deal with it later." Miss Valente's expression has returned to calmness, and she clinked glasses with the police officer again, "Thank you for your concern, Officer Natalie."
"Hmph. "The girl who drank five glasses of red wine turned her head to the side, leaving only Miss Valente's back.
Lin Qi glanced around and already understood what was going on. There are indeed many people staring here. They are a group of young men under the age of twenty, most of whom are descendants of local nobles.
Look at us for being jealous. I just like to see you jealous of me.
Although he couldn't lie down on the beach, Lynch still turned around and smiled at them. He raised his wine glass and gestured from a distance. He was greeted by a bunch of eyes that were about to burst into flames.
When, when, when.
A bell rang suddenly, like a signal. Within a few seconds of the sound, thousands of guests in the entire venue became silent.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the closed castle door.
In the silence, the gas lamps on both sides of the steps of the castle gate were suddenly turned on. Under the light, the castle gate was slowly opened. Dozens of people lined up on both sides. Her Royal Highness, the young and energetic princess, was holding an old man with white hair and beard. The Duke appeared before everyone.
The golden dress is graceful and luxurious, as bright as the sun, and the silver crown is inlaid with fiery red gems, shining under the light. However, all this is not enough to attract any attention, because people are more dazzling than clothes, and even Lynch, who has read countless movies, is a little straight-eyed.
However, the next moment, my brain was stabbing violently, and my inspiration issued another warning.
At the same time that Her Highness the Princess appeared, in the dusk all around, countless strange wills quickly gathered towards the gate of the Duke's Palace. In the shadows, there were countless pairs of eyes watching Princess Sophia as she walked out.
Everyone around him seemed to be fine, except Lin Qi who felt his scalp was numb.
Because at this moment, through his keen inspiration, he sensed those strange wills, which struck thousands of times above the gate.
Silent and invisible, everything seems normal, but only Lynch knows that every impact of will is filled with indescribable weirdness, like mysterious bloody fangs in the depths of a dreamland.
Is this the real power of high-level? Can a thought or a thought bring such strong oppression?
Sweat dripped from Lin Qi's forehead, and in addition to the instinctive fear, there was also deep anticipation in his heart.
As I continue on my path to immortality, I will also have this kind of power.
Bang.
Loud explosions resounded throughout the venue, hundreds of flower buckets were fired, and countless bright petals sprayed into the sky, making it seem like a rain of petals fell in front of the castle gate.
Bang bang bang.
In the world of inspiration, wills collide with each other every second. At every moment, countless thoughts arise, and countless thoughts are annihilated in the collision, silently, but like the end of the world. Coming soon.
“The first princess of the Rand Kingdom, Grand Duchess Vickery, escrow of Avilanna, and the eldest daughter of the Rose family, Princess Sophia Rose, arrived.”
Boom, boom, boom.
The gorgeous fireworks soared into the sky and lit up under the night.
The fireworks were accompanied by the sound of drums and music.
"Long live Rand, long live Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Amidst the cheers, the will above the head burst out with the strongest impact, and the exploding fireworks seemed to be the decoration of the impact.
Finally, in countless bright rays of light, several strands of will quietly faded away, leaving only the cheering crowd.
Everything seems to be just a dream.
Singing and dancing bring peace.
