A man with light gray long hair draped over his shoulders, with a tall and upright posture, handso features, fully displaying the deanor of a nobleman's son.
The other person is round in shape, dressed gorgeously, adorned with various decorations all over, even his hair is specially styled into small braids, each braid's end hung with a large gemstone.
Under the illumination of the chandelier light, the whole person almost constantly sparkles, making it impossible for people to see his true appearance.
Dong Lingxue looked at these two people, pursed her lips, and sighed lightly in her heart.
Boring.
Ever since that Duke's son ca to Red Diamond City, she, along with Dong Mu, attended several banquets hosted by the Lord of Gems, and then ca here with a group of noble girls of similar status to her.
Initially, Dong Lingxue was a bit worried, afraid of being selected as a "female slave" or "plaything" of sorts.
After all, such things are not uncommon in the circles of high aristocracy.
In the eyes of top aristocrats, girls like them, lesser nobles, are no different from ordinary civilians.
Dong Lingxue even thought about secretly running away.
Fortunately, after coming here, things did not develop as she had imagined.
The group of noble girls "specially selected," aside from being restricted in freedom, only able to stay in specific rooms each day, encountered no bad incidents.
Dong Lingxue thought that they seed to be simply here to "accompany."
Because the objects of their "companionship" had no low taste, all they needed to do was to be pleasing display figures within their sight.
Dong Lingxue noticed a girl downstairs at the turn of the second-floor staircase.
She was a pretty girl, seemingly around her age, with golden velvet-like smooth long hair and milk-like fair delicate skin.
Dong Lingxue clearly rembered her na was Erin Gisboer, the sole daughter of a newly ennobled Baron family.
Among all the "vases" present in the room, she was undoubtedly the most exquisite and eye-catching one.
Dance, painting, music... Dong Lingxue had personally seen the girl demonstrate no less than ten impressive talents, she even played a ga of chess with the esteed individual downstairs, receiving praise.
The girl's personality was also excellent, graceful, generous, modest, and gentle.
Even the rebellious Dong Lingxue always felt a sense of inferiority in her presence.
Dong Lingxue used to feel the many rules within aristocracy restricted her freedom.
But after seeing this girl nad Erin, her view sowhat shifted.
Suddenly she thought perhaps obediently following her father Dong Mu's arrangents and being a proper noblewoman wasn't so bad.
No need to be as excellent as Erin, just having half of her qualities would suffice.
That way...
She wouldn't feel as she does now, besides her family background, unable to find a point worthy enough to match the other, no confidence even to approach and befriend her.
Dong Lingxue was lost in thought when the two n downstairs suddenly rose and quickly walked out, as if they received so news.
Dong Lingxue let out a breath.
The big shots had left, her "performance" could finally take a temporary pause.
Heaven knows how tiring it was for her, a naive heiress, to mingle here daily pretending.
Mainly, the psychological pressure was trendous, afraid of accidentally exposing herself.
However, today's situation seed sowhat different.
After the departure of the two major figures including the Lord of Gems, a group of fully ard guards imdiately entered the room, soone began calling them all to head outside, with a cold expression.
The girls naturally didn't resist, Dong Lingxue obediently followed the crowd.
They walked for about five or six minutes.
The girls were half "chased" onto a large tal platform.
At intervals around the circular tal platform were positions for standing.
The girls stood at those positions one by one until all thirty-two spots were filled.
The guards who brought them still said nothing, only watched them coldly.
Dong Lingxue surveyed the sowhat dim and oppressive environnt, along with the various grooves underfoot that seed like mysterious patterns.
For so reason... an uneasy feeling gradually erged in her heart.
.....
"It's here."
A voice sounded in his ear, Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
Stepping out of the hibernation pod, a Star Thief stood respectfully by his side.
Lu Yuan walked expressionlessly to the spaceship's pilothouse, through the holographic front projection, he saw a valley surrounded by mountains in the distance, the spaceship slowly approaching.
Evidently, the valley was their destination.
"Lord Sea Wolf has ordered that we remain ready for battle at any mont."
Lu Yuan acknowledged with a "Hmm," saying nothing.
As the valley ca progressively closer in sight, upon reaching a certain critical point, suddenly...
The spaceship he was aboard seed to touch so obstacle, lightly vibrating.
Imdiately, an invisible ripple spread outward, with light blue waves quickly radiating.
The previously clear skies suddenly appeared as if schools of fish erged from under the calm surface, silhouettes of combat aircraft revealing themselves in the void.
