Chen Rui walked quickly to the hall of Golden Estateâs lord mansion and he saw Isabella chatting cordially with Veronica.
These 2 women actually had a lot in common. They both wear veils, and they were both beautiful women, uh⦠Although Chen Rui had not seen Veronicaâs face yet, at least the temperament of the 2 women was superb.
Isabella gave full play to the âattributeâ of the former âDevilâs Snare Flowerâ. No matter what she said or did, she displayed an elegant and confident demeanor. If there was a man on the side, they must have been attracted right now.
From Chen Ruiâs familiarity with Ms. Yini, it could be seen that Madam Aunt has entered a special state of âcombat modeâ because the woman opposite was also perfect and excellent, which had brought her a lot of pressure.
How weird, why did Lex the Great ask Veronica to teach etiquette. Is it a concession? Or is it another form of coercion?
âCoughâ¦â Chen Rui coughed deliberately, and the 2 womenâs attention suddenly shifted.
âYour Highness.â In the presence of Isabella, Veronicaâs name had obviously changed, âI have been ordered by His Majesty to teach Your Highness etiquettesâ¦â
âTeacher, call me âArthurâ. â Chen Rui interrupted Veronica, âYini is not an outsider. She is 1 of the guardians of the ancient civilization that I have inherited and my most cherished wife.â
When Veronica heard the word âwifeâ, her pupils shrank slightly, and an expression of surprise flashed by.
âYou should add the words âone ofâ in front.â Isabella added with a smile, âYour Highness cherishes more than 1 woman, isnât it?â
Chen Rui smiled awkwardly, and Veronica also smiled, âIt seems that âLittle Arthurâ really grew up, right? My student and younger brother.â
ââLittle Arthurâ.â Isabella nodded solemnly, âItâs a good name, Iâve always wanted to call you that.â
The 2 women looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Chen Rui, who was acting as a kind of mascot, could only be speechless.
Veronica sincerely praised, âMs. Yini has a rare temperament and demeanor. You must have come from a royal family. It seems unnecessary that His Majesty asked me to come here to teach Little Arthur etiquettes.â
âWhat kind of royal family, Iâm just a remnant of a lost empire.â Isabellaâs blue eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, âMy relatives are basically gone.â
In terms of the royal etiquette of noble families in the Demon, Ms. Yini could be regarded as a professor level, but if it was applied to the human world, perhaps it would be exposed.
âWhatever it is, it is already in the past.â Veronicaâs eyes showed a gentle expression, âIf Ms. Yini doesnât mind, I would like to invite you to participate in the study of court etiquettes with Little Arthur. I believe that Ms. Yini and I can benefit from it.â
âCan I?â Isabella regained her original elegance and looked at Chen Rui with a smile.
Chen Rui could see that Ms. Yiniâs gaze clearly read âIf you donât agree, you will surely die.â At this time, can I still say ânoâ?
The study of etiquette was originally a boring thing, but with Isabella there, interspersed with some appropriate interludes from time to time, it turned into a kind of fun.
Relaxing days always pass very fast. Soon, the etiquette class in the morning was over.
âIt was a pleasant morning.â Veronica declined Chen Ruiâs invitation to dine together, âArthur, Yini, His Majestyâs imperial guards team have been waiting in the city, and they will escort me back, so you donât have to worry. If His Majesty doesnât change his mind, Iâll come back in a few days. Or you can go to my Shion Palace. I also want Yini to give me some pointers on the floral design.â
Isabella watched Veronicaâs disappearing figure, then sighed softly, âThat woman⦠even though her face was smiling, her heart has become a pool of ashes. She hides it almost perfectly, but she still couldnât hide it from me. Because when I looked at her, it was like I saw myself in the mirror â My past self.â
Chen Rui gently held Isabellaâs hand, âItâs all over now.â
âI think that the past 100 yearsâ¦â Isabella stared into his eyes affectionately, âis for todayâs happiness. Without the pain and suffering of the past, I could not be so happy today. Iâm very lucky to meet you, my love.â
âItâs also my luck.â
The lips of the 2 blended together, feeling the warmth in each otherâs hearts.
âHey, Iâm going back to prepare lunch. Yesterday, I learned a new dish, called bacon fillet. Coincidentally, you can be the guinea pig.â
âIf you want to grab a manâs heart, you must first grab his stomach?â
Ms. Yini smiled coquettishly, âYour stomach is not easy to grab. On the other hand, we poor sisters have been grabbed by your food long ago.â
Chen Rui shrugged, âThis can be understood as equality between men and women.â
Isabella smiled and walked forward. She suddenly stopped at the door, âChen Rui.â
âEn.â
âThat Veronicaâ¦â
âEn?â
âIf you canât help her reborn in the ashes, then help her⦠annihilate completely.â
âReally?â
âI know better than anyone that that is the best liberationâ¦â
Chen Rui lowered his head and remained silent.
Time passed day by day.
On this day, Golden Estate finally welcomed the long-awaited âguestâ.
The Holy Churchâs Cardinal Gralin, along with a man and a woman.
There were also 2 âguardiansâ to add momentum to Chen Ruiâs side, Master Poison Dragon and his wife.
Gralin was probably the person from the Holy Church who was most familiar with âArthurâ by now. Sir Cardinal, who looked radiant, joked as soon as he walked in, âYour Highness, glad to disturb you again.â
âIâm glad to be disturbed by Sir Gralin again.â Chen Ruiâs eyes quickly glanced over at the man and the woman as he also smiled, âLooking at Sir Gralinâs appearance, I believe you bring good news this time.â
âItâs really good news!â Gralin seemed very confident, âWithin 3 days, the dragons from the Dragon Valley will come to the Golden Estate to discuss cooperation with Your Highness about the magic games.â
Chen Ruiâs eyes lit up, âWonderful! Sir Gralin, your presence is a huge surprise! I can imagine how much effort the church⦠uh, the Holy Blessing Summit put into this. I promise that the Holy Blessing Summit and the Holy Church as a whole will not regret this decision.â
âThen, the promise of Your Highness last timeâ¦â
âI will do as I say, Sir Gralin.â Chen Rui nodded without hesitation, âWhen I get the 2 holy relics of the Dragon Bright Empire and the Blue Glory Empire, I will accept the recommendation of the Holy Blessing Summit to join the Holy Church. Next month, I will go to the Blue Glory Empire to participate in the engagement ceremony with Princess Landbis. The goal of course⦠is the Holy Grail of the Blue Glory Empire. I will have to use the help of the Holy Blessing Summit at that time.â
Gralin noticed Chen Ruiâs special emphasis on the âHoly Blessing Summitâ, and he smiled a little more, âOf course. Please rest assured Your Highness, whether Your Highness marry that Princess Landbis or ascend to the throne of the Dragon Bright Empire, it does not conflict with joining the Holy Church. En⦠I will introduce, 2 people to Your Highness first. This is Miranda, the direct apprentice of Her Holiness Holy Lady.â
Chen Rui looked at the fair-skinned blond woman with beautiful facial features and a slightly cold face, and he nodded slightly, âMs. Miranda.â
He and this girl with elf blood were actually âacquaintancesâ. When he was in the Holy Light Mountain as Paulâs subordinate, he played a character who was proficient in soul language and had a coveted heart for Miranda. Later, Eliza, who was also the Holy Ladyâs apprentice, showed her true hideous face and used Miranda to set up a vile plan to capture Chen Ruiâs âsoul languageâ power. In the end, it was self-defeating and she became an idiot with a mental breakdown.
Of course, Miranda didnât know that the popular person who was fought over by the 3 factions of the church was âRichardâ who made a fuss at the Holy Light Mountain and stole the Snow Dallet Tree back then. However, Prince âArthurâs gaze was very clear without the slightest distraction. This made the half-elf girl had a better impression of him in her mind as she bowed, âYour Highness Arthur, teacher was thinking to come in person, but she was holding a baptism of light for a newly acquired apprentice before. It will take a while and she couldnât stop in the middle, so she send me here to extend her sincerest regards.â
âThe new apprentice⦠is Ms. Tiffany mentioned by Sir Gralin.â Chen Rui said casually, âHer Holiness Holy Lady is too polite, I should be the one going to the Holy Blessing Summit to meet her. â
The news of the ânew apprentice Tiffanyâ was exactly the news that Chen Rui got from Gralin, and it was precisely for this reason that Chen Rui instructed Dragon Emperor Pagris to âauthorizeâ the magic game to the Holy Lady Faction. As for how much benefit Pagris got, then it was none of Chen Ruiâs business.
Chen Rui planned this magic game layout from beginning to end. For this reason, he also got a lot of practical benefits from the competition between the 3 major forces. However, the game had its rules. After this matter was finalized, he chose the Holy Blessing Summit. Before the ability and strength reached a certain level, he could no longer wait for good offers from the 3 factions as before.
Miranda said some words of courtesies, then she bowed again without speaking. Gralin introduced the black-haired man with his eyes closed to Chen Rui, âThis is the Holy Light Guardian Knight of the Holy Blessing Summit, Rafael.â
The 3 main peaks of the Holy Light Mountain had their own guardian knights, which were divided into 3 types: White Brilliance, Silver Splendor, and Holy Light. Holy Light was the highest level guardian knight.
Chen Rui stared deeply at the man as his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an extremely rare expression of awe. His tone even trembled, âI wonder if every Holy Light Guardian Knight is so special? Why do I see an unprecedented light in this Holy Light Guardian Knight? It is so bright and holy that it is impossible to look directlyâ¦â
Chen Ruiâs awe and trembling were naturally faked; he had to pretend.
Race: Angel (avatar)
Comprehensive Strength Assessment: SSS+.
Physique: SSS+, strength: SSS+, spirit: SSS+, speed: SSS+.
[Analysis]: Light attribute, wind attribute, restraint, dispel, light of healing, soul power.
Danger level: Extremely high!
This Rafael had the strength of the peak stage of the Demi-God, yet he was just an avatar.
Since he came here with Gralin from the Holy Blessing Summit Faction, the angelâs identity was obvious!
TL: Raphael? He wonât see through Chen Ruiâs disguise right?
