Chapter 61: The Banquet Begins
Stardate October 25, 8997.
Hall Castle is shrouded in the misty night, mysterious and majestic, like a country in a fairy tale that is about to be harmed by an evil witch, and it is vaguely ominous.
But inside the castle, it was a different scene.
Through AR technology, this beautiful castle seems to have washed away the wind and frost accumulated over the years. The towering ancient trees surrounding the castle and the elves flying among the flowers in the forest are all full of curiosity about the outside world.
Little animals, they gathered one after another to celebrate the birthday of the princess living in the castle, and gave her the gifts they carefully collected, either a small flower, a few pine nuts, or a few feathers...
Qin Sui stood in front of the window, looking at the elves in the flower garden outside, with a faint smile on his lips, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is probably the world that many children hope to truly exist, right? It's really interesting.
"
"Although Sharp is not very good in other aspects, he is extremely considerate to his only daughter Ophelia." Yang Lie sighed, "Everyone knows what will happen tonight, but before the dream is shattered, he also hopes that
Build a beautiful fairy tale world for Ophelia."
"Oh... So, we are evil wizards or cruel dragons. The poor king and princess will soon wake up from their dream."
An elf was attracted by the bright light from the window and came over curiously. Qin Sui stretched out his hand with interest and tapped it through the window. It flapped its wings and flew away quickly as if it was frightened.
"Look, even the virtual elves hate us."
Yang Lie didn't have a girlish heart, so he didn't feel anything about it. He only glanced at it and got down to business again, "Okay, the banquet will start soon. We have to be separated for the time being, but I will rush over as soon as possible.
The aircraft is ready. Once we get the things, we will leave Hall and stay far away..."
"Well, anyway, we have done everything we can do, and the next thing can only be left to God to decide. Although it is often said that man can defeat God, sometimes, fate is something that people really have to accept."
Qin Sui rarely felt emotional. Sometimes, she was still full of awe for some things, but this awe was often suppressed due to various reasons.
"If the action fails, it's my fate. You don't have to be sad for me." Yang Lie patted her shoulder, "I know you are just used to being with someone, but even if I am gone, your life is still alive."
It’s a long journey, but you’ll always find others who are willing to go with you.”
To be honest, the relationship between the two is quite weird. They both have had a bad past and have seen the ugliest side of each other. Because of this, it is difficult for them to have uncontrollable love for each other - people don't
If you fall in love with ugly things, what arouses your admiration is just the shining point.
But Yang Lie knew that he loved Qin Sui, maybe it wasn't true love, but wasn't there a saying that "company is the longest confession of love"? He was willing to stay with her all his life, so it didn't matter whether it was love or not.
Woolen cloth?
And Qin Sui...she is just deliberately breaking away from the past - she had to be alone in the past, but now she must have someone by her side; she had to do evil in the past, but now she can do good things if she wants to, and do bad things if she wants to.
Do bad things……
The reason why she came all the way to Hall Star to get involved in this muddy water for Yang Lie was not because of Yang Lie. She was just afraid of returning to the depression and loneliness that no one understood before.
Qin Sui glanced at Yang Lie and said, "Okay, don't say these depressing words. Don't you know that you are almost setting a flag?"
Yang Lie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that Qin Sui liked to make jokes when faced with words she didn't want to answer, and it was the same now - it was a pity that even now, he still couldn't bear to expose her.
"I am leaving."
Fearing that Yang Lie would say anything else, Qin Sui looked at himself for a while, then checked whether he had brought anything he was supposed to bring, then waved to him and walked away without looking back.
Yang Lie laughed and watched her leave quietly, just like he had done many times in the past.

Ballroom.
Today's banquet hall is busier than any other day. Guests dressed in costumes arrive one after another. They all have light but not hypocritical smiles on their faces. It can be seen that the guests are all used to attending such banquets.
, know how to maintain the most elegant side of yourself.
Brisk music flowed from the fingers and lips of the musicians, making the atmosphere of the entire banquet seem relaxed and joyful. The ladies' jewelry shone under the light, shining brighter than their smiles; the men
The wine glasses are filled with all kinds of fine wines, and the clinking of glasses makes all the unspoken tacit understanding clear.
Qin Sui came neither early nor late. When she walked into the banquet hall, there were many people with her, so she didn't attract too much attention.
At this time, she could not see her private ruthlessness and coldness at all. She was no different from most ladies and celebrities in the scene, and even did better than them.
Qin Sui reached out for a glass of wine, then sat alone in the corner and silently observed the surrounding situation, taking a sip from time to time.
There are many people like her. Although the atmosphere in the banquet hall is light and cheerful, the bowstring is also the same before it is tightened. Many well-informed people know that today may not be a good feast, so they will naturally be more vigilant.
.
"Miss Qin is particularly radiant today." A figure suddenly walked over from the side. His face made Qin Sui feel a little strange, "I have long felt that Miss Qin is the most suitable for this kind of dress. The jewelry on your body cannot hide your beauty."
A little bit of brilliance, but it looks like... stars over the moon."
Qin Sui didn't recognize the person at first glance, but after he finished speaking and thinking for a moment, she guessed the identity of the other person - Enge. This guy was just like her, with his vest layered one after another.
layered.
Qin Sui didn't take Engel's compliments seriously at all. Engel's nation was like this. When you praise people, it's just ridiculous. If you believe it, you will lose.
"Thank you. You are also very handsome today. I think if you would like to invite any lady to dance with you, she will be honored."
"So what if I invite you?" Engel came closer, his tone ambiguous.
"Of course you can, but it's a pity that it's not the time to dance. Let's wait for the little princess to finish her first dance."
Qin Sui was not shy at all about being flirted with, and she was considered an expert in this field - besides, Enge wasn't really flirting at all, he was just testing her to see if she knew what was going to happen tonight.
When Ophelia finishes her first dance...it's hard to say whether the party can still be held at that time!
