Chapter 458: 446 Stop your imagination
Before realizing it, the engagent banquet soon to be held at the Royal Palace was drawing near.
As dusk fell, carriages consecutively made their way toward the Royal Palace, crossing the bridge that led directly to Lake Heart Island and entered the grand gates of the royal residence.
This scene lasted for a very long ti, without stopping for several hours, indicating just how many nobles were prepared to attend the engagent banquet.
Many of the townspeople specifically ca to see, gazing at the brightly decorated palace set for the formal engagent banquet, their hearts filled with envy.
“I really want to go inside and take a look.”
“Yes.”
“They say Princess Luoqi will be in a gown today.”
“I wish I could catch just a glimpse.”
“Forget it, Princess Luoqi is to be engaged to Viscount Beizut… no, I should say the Earl of Beizut.”
“But… it’s just an engagent, right?”
“Yes, it’s just an engagent.”
“Who knows if they might suddenly call off the engagent later?”
“Exactly.”
Many people conversed while harboring this sowhat embarrassing hope, clinging to it as if it were their last lifeline.
After all, no one truly wanted to see Princess Luoqi marry another man.
Even if they couldn’t have her for themselves, they didn’t want anyone else to either; it’s a bit of a base instinct amongst n.
As long as the Goddess belonged to no one, she belonged to everyone; countless were the people who harbored such thoughts.
Perhaps, even if Princess Luoqi truly were to marry, there would still be many in this world who admired and adored her?
The Kingdom Treasure, always the Kingdom’s treasure, deeply cherished by the people of the Kingdom.
People could only admire the princess while cursing Shane Beizut in their hearts.
Even as things had proceeded to this point, and many had accepted the reality, there still were many who cursed the man blessed with incredible luck—Shane Beizut.
“Achoo!”
In the Beizut household, within the hall, Shane sneezed sharply.
“What’s the matter?” Vivian imdiately expressed concern. “Do you have a cold?”
Vivian’s words turned all the gazes in the hall toward Shane.
“Are you alright, Mr. Shane?”
rica looked at him with concern.
“Did you really catch a cold?”
Lu Muya still appeared fragile.
“You better not fall ill at this ti.”
Tielle couldn’t help but say.
Feeling the concern of the group of girls, Shane touched his nose.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine, just suddenly felt like sneezing.”
Saying so, Shane looked toward the group of girls.
The four girls gathered around Shane were dressed completely differently from usual.
Upon closer inspection, the girls from Vivian’s Team had all changed from their usual Adventurer attire into beautiful gowns.
rica wore a long green dress that matched her naturally flowing hair perfectly, making her seem like an Elf Princess at a ball – not stunningly beautiful but definitely fresh, pure, and lovely.
Lu Muya wore a light yellow short dress, her white legs exposed to the air, smooth and tender to the touch, coaxing a desire to pinch them and making her feel quite uncomfortable from the start, now fidgeting continuously.
Even Tielle had shed her usual uninspiring black robe for a simple yet stylish black dress with exposed shoulders like Lu Muya’s short dress, her striking purple hair styled in braids hanging in front of her, making her look like a fierce Little Witch, though the mask covering the upper half of her face was a bit of an eyesore.
The most eye-catching, however, was undoubtedly Vivian.
For Vivian had taken off the full-body armor she wore at all tis, finally revealing the full extent of her delicate figure.
It was a curvaceous, seductive body that could rival Sera; truly voluptuous.
Vivian was dressed in a deep blue gown, wearing high heels with a slightly long skirt, thus she had to lightly hold the sides of her skirt as she walked, which added a certain indescribable grace and beauty to her movents.
Shane could recall how he had been absolutely stunned for a few seconds when he first saw Vivian like this.
It was inevitable.
In terms of beauty, Shane had seen won lovelier than Vivian before.
Both Princess Luoqi and Nien were more beautiful than Vivian.
Having already seized one and keeping another as a backup (Nien: Achoo), it was difficult to be astonished by looks alone anymore.
What made Vivian stand out was the stark difference from her usual appearance, which left Shane unable to help but stare for a few seconds.
Looking at these four girls, each with distinct styles yet equally beautiful, Shane suddenly understood why Vivian’s Team had to be so wary of male Adventurers approaching them when they were in Lamijion.
The reason was simple: these four together were just too attractive.
However, today, these four captivating girls were dressed this beautifully to attend Shane’s engagent banquet.
As the first people Shane t when he arrived in this world, and having lived under the sa roof as him for months, it was only natural that the four girls were invited by the Royal Family to attend his engagent banquet.
Of course, aside from Vivian, who had grown up among nobles, the other three were initially quite nervous about it.
“I… I’ve never attended such a high-class event…!”
“… neither…!”
rica and Lu Muya almost panicked.
Tielle even furrowed her brows for a long ti when she heard about attending the banquet, obviously not wanting to participate.
But in the end, the three of them decided to attend.
The reason, naturally, was Vivian’s persuasion.
“This is Shane’s engagent banquet; are you sure you want to miss it?”
One sentence made the three girls fall silent. Eventually, they gathered their courage and decided to attend Shane’s engagent party.
As for Ai Yi, she was naturally present.
“…I wasn’t told I had to dress like this.”
Ai Yi looked displeased.
The Dragon Demon Lord was also wearing a dress, a very bright red color with exposed shoulders and legs, and two ribbons and a sharp-edged tulle trailing behind.
It must be said, the dress suited Ai Yi extrely well.
Although it took quite so ti to prepare this dress (mainly because so areas of the fabric were lacking, making the dress tight and needing major modifications to fit), the Dragon Demon, who once made the God, Human, and Demon Three Realms tremble, was astonishingly stunning, making one feel that it was truly worth the price of admission.
The person herself, however, protested several tis, feeling dissatisfied, but was shut down by Shane with a single statent.
“You said you wanted to attend my engagent banquet; of course, you should wear a dress, right?”
Shane expressed it like that.
Ai Yi really wanted to say that no matter what the occasion, she would never wear such troubleso clothes.
And that was indeed the case.
In the past, Ai Yi had never worn a dress nor attended any public event. Only when she had to personally deal with certain matters would she appear in front of a certain few.
Such Ai Yi had never considered the problem of dress code at the scene—if she deed a certain way to dress appropriate, then that’s how she would dress.
That is to say, wearing a dress like this was also a first for Ai Yi.
Ai Yi really wanted to say sothing, but after seeing Shane’s appreciative gaze, for so reason, she swallowed all her words back.
In the end, Ai Yi could only say one sentence.
“In the whole world, only you could make do this.”
Ai Yi sighed heavily with dissatisfaction.
“Then that’s truly an honor,” Shane shrugged and said, “By the way, do you feel uncomfortable? That dress’s fabric must be quite expensive, right?”
Especially since this little lady had quite a reputation, the needed fabric wasn’t spared at all, indeed costing Shane a considerable amount of money.
Therefore, Shane felt sowhat discontented with Ai Yi’s dissatisfied performance.
Who would have thought…
“…You wouldn’t understand.” Ai Yi abruptly fell silent, then spoke with an inexplicably heavy tone, “If I had shown even a slight interest in clothing, then a million years ago, I would have beco my sisters’ doll, dragged away to play dress-up gas.”
…Well, a mont of silence for you.
That being said…
“Since you have rarely changed into a dress, can you please remove that eyesore of a pillow?”
Shane finally couldn’t help but protest.
Yes.
Ai Yi was still holding her pillow, blocking her front, even though she was wearing clothes different from usual, still shielding herself securely.
This made Shane, who thought he could feast his eyes today, feel very dissatisfied.
But this was also a bottom line that Ai Yi would never abandon.
“Forget about it, I have no intention of letting other n casually look at my body.”
Ai Yi huffed lightly, but her words were laden with ambiguity.
“Casually look at my body…!?”
“Wow…wow wow wow wow…!”
rica and Lu Muya were shocked.
“Shane…”
“Could it be you…”
Vivian and Lu Muya’s looks at Shane changed as well.
“Wait a minute! Stop your imaginations! Nothing that you are thinking has happened!”
Shane trembled all over, hurriedly defending himself.
However, this defense did not make the girls believe him, just leaving them half-convinced.
Shane wanted to cry but had no tears.
At this mont, a small hand tugged at Shane’s sleeve, making him lower his head and look beside him.
There, Lilith stood quietly, looking up.
The little Goddess, dressed in a gown as well, unlike Ai Yi’s bright red, wore a snow-white, flawless dress.
Even though she was an Evil God, this snow-white, flawless gown seed sohow just right, no matter how you looked at it.
Shane couldn’t help but reach out and stroke Lilith’s head.
“Alright, let’s get going.”
Shane finally spoke up.
A minute later, You Lin roared as he flew out of the Beizut Family residence, heading towards the Royal Palace.
