Chapter 206 The Promise in Candlelight
As the night got darker, the door of the theater reopened, and a gentleman and a young lady came out one after another in bright clothes.
Although the performance has ended, everyone is still talking about the scene just now.
"That last scene was really moving. If only our future weddings could be as gorgeous as this."
"It's really enviable, but dear, I'm afraid it's difficult for us to invite more than a dozen witches to congratulate and bless."
"The witch is really a mysterious and desirable existence, but unfortunately there are very few definite traces revealed now."
"Last time I heard that it was the newly born Starlight Witch in that country to the west."
"It's like this, maybe in the eyes of that kind of existence, we mortals are like ants under our feet. People embrace it.
At another exit of the theater, Jerain also walked out with Fa Xiner, and several white lion knights holding torches were already waiting here.
"I'll take you back first, it's getting late now." As a qualified noble gentleman, he naturally wants to send a girl home. This is basic courtesy.
"Thank you." Fa Xiner nodded, and then boarded the carriage with Jerain.
In the carriage, after the two were silent for a while, they also began to talk about their performance just now.
"Has Faxiner know anything about elves?" Jerain suddenly remembered his former classmate, the seventh lady of the Landsworth family, Frocia.
"I know, but not in depth." Fa Xiner shook her head.
Within the empire, the Trey family is a rare existence that does not communicate with elves, and the reason for this has to be traced to the grudges left by the first era.
Most of the vassals of the Trey family and their subordinates are remnants of the Quicksilver Dynasty who returned from the Everdark Island. Their ancestors have led many battles and expeditions with the three elves.
Although nearly two thousand years have passed, for the long-lived elves, such memories are not too far away. The family histories of the two sides still record many means and tactics against each other.
Because of this, the Landsworth family, which has half-elf blood, also had little contact with the Trey family.
"Actually, I went to the Emerald Forest once when I was very young. At that time, it was because one of my mother's friends was the princess of the elf family." Jerain was talking about the past of his childhood. At that time, he was a very naughty person. Often troubles the elf aunt.
...,
"Looking back on it now, I'm really embarrassed, haha."
Jerain was talking about the scandals of his childhood, and Fa Xiner also listened attentively. Those black crystal pupils were quiet and peaceful, so Jerain couldn't help but let go of his guard and restraint.
"My words, I seldom went out when I was a child. The weather in the north was mostly cold, and I was often sick at that time, and I often bothered my mother to worry about it..." Fa Xiner also slowly talked about some things in the past.
"My brother was afraid that I would be bored in bed, so he would often come back with some books to let me spend time."
"However, looking back now, my brothers chose books very casually. There are knight novels that everyone likes, as well as obscure biographies. Although some characters are unrecognizable, I slowly checked the dictionary later."
"Going forward, I also got used to this kind of life until I grew up."
"My parents and brothers take good care of me, they rarely make me suffer, and sometimes I worry about whether I can adapt to an independent life."
"After telling my father about this, he thought about it for a while, and sent me to study at the Royal Academy in Titania. I didn't graduate until the year before." Fa Xiner introduced her past.
Her experience is actually very simple and not complicated. Jerain has also learned about this through the intelligence personnel of the family, but now listening to her tell some of the details in person, it is a different feeling.
For this gentle and lovely girl with black hair and black dress, the eldest son of the Griffin could not help but feel a little pity.
Maybe this is where I belong.
Looking at the hazy face under the candlelight, Jerain's heart softened and softened.
"Fa Xiner..." He called the other party's name softly, and the girl turned her face slightly, raised her eyes, and looked at the blond Griffin eldest son.
"I think, I'm in love with you..." Jerain, who is not very good at love words, can only say such simple words.
"Um..." The black-haired girl lowered her face and gave a slight response like a mosquito.
At this moment, time seemed to be extraordinarily long, and Jerain lightly held the frightened wrist like a fawn, so as not to let it escape from the palm of his hand.
Delicate skin and slender fingers are clearly visible in the touch of the palm.
When he got closer, the graceful neck like a black swan approached in Jielan's eyes, and he could even smell the faint fragrance of Fa Xiner's body.
So dreamy and infatuated, it makes people willing to sink into it.
"I want to give you a present." Jerain touched the pocket of his clothes and found that he didn't seem to be carrying any jewelry or other gadgets. Finally, he suddenly remembered something, put his hand into the collar, took out A warm metal pendant.
The shield-shaped pendant is engraved with a lifelike griffin, whose feathers are white, and the neck and top of the head have golden feathers, which are gorgeous and delicate.
This is a symbol of his identity, and of course he doesn't need to show it to prove it.
"I'll give this to you."
He lifted Faxiner's
With the palm of your hand, place the shield-shaped pendant with body temperature in the opponent's hand.
"This... is too precious." Fa Xiner was not an ignorant ordinary girl, she naturally recognized what it was and what it meant.
"Take it, this is Griffin's promise and agreement." When he said this, Jerain's eyes were burning and he was extremely serious.
Seeing Jielan's solemn appearance, Fa Xiner also understood the decision of the son of Griffin at this moment, and nodded lightly: "...I understand."
This pendant represents Jerain's promise and oath. I am afraid that he will propose a marriage with the Trey family soon.
This kind of thing is exactly what the family hopes to see, and he has completed the task very well.
Although it is related to her own life events, Fa Xiner does not have much emotional ups and downs, and seems to have realized this very early.
As a tool for family marriage, in the aristocratic circle, this is a normal thing, and she was mentally prepared for this when she was very young.
Lord Jerain is an honorable and excellent nobleman, and it is not an uncomfortable thing to spend the rest of his life with him, but the development of all this tonight was too fast, which made her a little unexpected.
No matter what, I have finally completed the mission of the family well, and Lord Elon should be happy when he hears it.
I don't know what my parents will think. The brothers will definitely congratulate themselves for having a good home.
Thinking so, the carriage gradually arrived at the mansion where she lived.
