Chapter 468 Some small daily routines at the wedding
This day, early morning.
"Teacher, we are leaving."
"Um."
Su Lun looked at his two disciples and nodded.
The current situation in Lingdun is very strange, with undercurrents surging. The big changes in the near future will definitely shake up the entire Luying. Many top forces may reshuffle their cards. Kama and Yabok are not strong enough now.
Let them protect themselves in such a big wave. Especially as Su Lun's disciples, once they are exposed to the public eye, they will definitely be in too much trouble.
What happened before is an example.
Next to the steam car, Kama looked at his gloved hands, his eyes slightly complicated.
Under the gloves is a pair of silver hands, which are mechanical hands that were kidnapped, cut off and spliced.
Although it does not affect the control of puppets and life, it is still a profound memory.
I have been recuperating in the small void world these days, and now I have to say goodbye. Kama looked at Su Lun, the corners of his eyes flashing: "Teacher, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Su Lun smiled and shook his head. The incident happened because of him, not because Karma was not careful enough.
He touched Kama's forehead and said: "Kama, Yabok, you should be more careful in the future. Go see more of the world."
Encountering setbacks is a misfortune in life, but surviving it is a gain and a valuable life experience.
Now Kama and Aberke leave Rington for experience, which is also the beginning of their new adventure.
"is teacher."
The two nodded and stepped onto the steam car that took them to the pier to take the boat on the street.
Su Lun watched the motorcycle disappear at the corner of the street, looked at the time, and then hailed a passing taxi.
Although I don’t really want to go out,
But today was the day he and Ekaterina agreed to attend the wedding banquet, so he had to go.
...
After getting in the car, the driver asked: "Where are you, sir?"
In Rington, those who can afford a taxi are either rich or expensive, and the driver did not look down upon this young passenger in casual clothes at all.
Su Lun pondered for a moment and said: "Beicheng, Rose Elysee Avenue."
"Okay! Sir, please sit down."
When the driver heard the street name, a look of doubt appeared on his face.
Those who can live on that street are all top dignitaries of Lu Ying, real big shots.
But looking at the casually dressed passenger, he didn't look like an aristocrat.
Moreover, the big shots all have their own cars and accompanying servants, and they rarely come by taxi alone.
Thinking about it, the driver smiled and asked: "Sir, are you a reporter?"
Su Lun chuckled noncommittally.
The locomotive traveled all the way, passed the Rington Iron Bridge, and arrived at Beicheng.
Su Lun didn't go out for many days, but she also read a lot of reports about this grand wedding from the newspapers.
The wedding of Lu Ying's top aristocrat was naturally very grand. Su Lun sat in the back seat and looked at both sides of the street through the glass window. The flower beds were replaced with bright red flowers that represented celebration, and the gas lamps and sycamore trees on the roadside were also decorated.
They were all hung with red ribbons, making it a joyful scene.
As soon as he turned into Rose Elysee Avenue, Su Lun saw a group of reporters with cameras blocking the entrance of the manor, taking photos of the guests passing by.
There will be well-dressed guests coming out of every car and carriage, and they will be surrounded by reporters on the red carpet for interviews.
When these reporters saw the taxi approaching, they probably thought they were traveling with them, but no one paid attention to them.
There are mounted police controlling traffic, and taxis can only park on street corners.
The driver said: "Three hundred liso, sir. Thank you."
Su Lun listened and handed over three hundred-denomination banknotes.
The driver took the money and added with a smile: "Today is the wedding of the prince and princess. You are really lucky to be invited to attend. Oh, I heard that Princess Ekaterina is as beautiful as a fairy tale.
Mr. Journalist, please take more photos. I hope I can see your work in tomorrow's newspaper..."
Su Lun smiled.
He opened the door and got out of the car. The sun was shining brightly and warmly on his body.
The sky is blue.
This is the first time that Su Lun has seen such good weather after coming to Linton for so long.
The blue sky, white clouds, white pigeons, and colorful streets are as dreamy as a fairy tale.
Su Lun walked towards the crowd.
"Machesays Manor" is the private estate of the Lance family in Rington, and it is also one of the top ten mansions in Rington.
It's not yet time for the banquet to start, but there are already guests who have arrived early.
Su Lun passed through the crowd of reporters, and everyone turned a blind eye to him.
When he reached the door, the butler in a tuxedo stopped him politely and said, "Sir, please show me your invitation."
Naturally, Su Lun didn't have an invitation. He just said lightly: "I am 'Fick Regadi'."
...
At the same time, in the manor.
In a luxuriously decorated and girly room, a group of maids were busy.
Ekaterina was sitting in front of the dressing table, and several makeup artists were helping her paint her eyebrows and eyes.
"Miss, Madam asked me to ask you, Master Fike from Lei Jiadi hasn't shown up yet. He will have guests later. Do you want to press him again?"
"No need. He will come on time."
"Yes, miss."
The butler came and left.
As the bridesmaid, Anna looked at her increasingly beautiful best friend in the mirror, with stars in her eyes. She had exclaimed eighty times: "Wow...Katyusha, you are really, really beautiful! I
If I were a man, I would definitely be stunned by you~"
She didn't know that her best friend was already stunningly beautiful even if she only wore makeup. Today, she was dressed up, and her beauty was even more dazzling, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Not only is she beautiful, but the most special thing is the increasingly ethereal temperament of Ekaterina.
Anna didn't know what had happened to her best friend recently, but it just made her feel more and more ethereal, as if the last bit of earthly aura had gradually faded away from her body, just like an angel in mythology.
Ekaterina listened to the joke and smiled slightly.
With this smile, she looked even more charming in the mirror.
Seeing the expression of her good friend, Anna looked even more exaggerated and intoxicated, "Oh, that 'Master Fike' must be the happiest man in the world to marry such a beautiful girl."
After a pause, she thought of something again and asked: "But then again. That 'Master Fick' hasn't come yet? I heard that no one has been seen over there in Leijiadi, Katyusha?
Are you really not worried?"
Ekaterina smiled, her expression not showing any signs of worry.
She originally wanted to say something more, but at this moment, she seemed to sense something and said, "He's here."
Anna was stunned when she heard this.
coming?
What's coming?
"Um."
Ekaterina nodded.
Turning her beautiful eyes, she said again: "Anna, can you help me bring him over? He's in the living room. By the way, I want to apologize. I haven't finished my makeup yet, so it's not convenient to go there in person.
.”
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, Anna was even more confused.
Only then did I realize that Fike was here?
But...
We are getting married. Your majestic prince of the Raigadi family is not with the man, so why are you coming to the woman's house?
Although she felt strange, she looked at her good friend who didn't seem to be joking and responded: "Okay!"
Anna was curious and walked briskly to the reception room.
Sure enough, she saw Su Lun, who was still wearing casual clothes, sitting on the sofa like a guest.
...
Su Lun has no habit of being late and came half an hour earlier than the agreed time.
But when he arrived, he realized that his situation at this grand wedding was actually quite embarrassing.
He and the woman are exchanging interests and are considered outsiders.
I have no trust with my husband except to be wary, and he is also an outsider.
It seems that the "groom" alone represents a third party.
Thinking that he had nowhere to go, he had to find Ekaterina first.
The people in Leijiadi were contacted by various trustees and asked him to meet him a few days ago.
Su Lun ignored it.
He didn't want to deal with the guys who murdered him twice.
The current situation is that even if the Leijiadi family is dissatisfied with him, there is nothing he can do about it.
And after today, I have no intention of using the identity "Fick" at all.
Su Lun didn't need to give any face at all.
He heard that Ekaterina was putting on makeup, so he originally planned to wait in the living room.
After all, we just took hundreds of thousands of tons of rare metals and ores from the Lance family, and we still owe some favors, so we have to pay a little bit.
What's more, if you lose a little face, you also lose "Fick".
Su Lun didn't have any psychological burden.
Unexpectedly, not long after he sat down, Miss Anna, whom he had met once before at the Royal Academy's celebration ball, came to greet him.
.......
"Mr. Fike, are you here to see Katyusha? She asked me to tell you that she is putting on makeup and can't come to pick you up in person..."
Anna was wearing a sexy low-cut bridesmaid dress, but she didn't show off at all, and she held Suellen's arm without any problem.
After all, we have danced together before, so we are not strangers and have a good impression.
Su Lun knew that this was Yekaterina's best friend, so she didn't have much to say and walked over.
After talking about the business, Anna gossiped again: "Mr. Fick, why are you here?"
Su Lun thought about it, it wasn't complicated, but it was hard to explain.
He responded with just a few words: "Promise."
"ah?"
Anna blinked, as if she wanted to see some big secret.
But seeing that Su Lun didn't mean to say more, she wisely didn't ask any more questions, and instead chatted a few words about his handsomeness.
Su Lun also responded politely and praised this bridesmaid who had a good personality.
At this time, the two of them had arrived at the door of the room on the second floor that was obviously the lady's boudoir.
Looking at the maids coming in and out, Su Lun was still a little hesitant, wondering if it would be rude to go in now.
But thinking that I was invited, I walked in calmly.
As soon as he entered the room, he looked at Ekaterina sitting on the dressing table and paying for her money. She nodded and smiled apologetically at him in the mirror, "I'm sorry. You have to sit down for a while, and you'll put on your makeup in a while."
"Um."
Su Lun looked at the pretty face in the mirror that seemed to be wearing a beauty filter, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
The Ekaterina in front of her was so beautiful that her whole body seemed to be glowing. She was really stunning.
But he didn't have much fluctuation in his heart.
At this time, a maid had moved a stool, and Suellen sat there, watching the servants surrounding Yekaterina doing her makeup.
He could be considered to have experienced the luxurious life of the top nobles. Su Lun saw more than fifty servants coming in and out of the room just by bringing water and things.
Fortunately, with Anna, a familiar girl, it's not boring.
Chatting in the east and chatting in the west, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
This girl has a good personality and a high emotional intelligence. She knows that she is getting married. "Fick" is here, so it is obvious that she has something hidden.
But she was also very knowledgeable and didn't ask any more questions. Most of the topics were about praising the bride's beauty.
After a while, several makeup artists stopped, obviously they had finished applying makeup.
Several servants came in carrying an extremely luxurious red and black dress.
Even though this is a dark-colored dress, it is dazzling under the light, shining with a gorgeous, rich, yet mysterious luster.
Anna looked at this dress and couldn't hide her envy and said: "This dress is called 'The Nightingale of Rocovalen'. It is inlaid with 700 of the most precious black diamonds in the world. It is really beautiful. The whole Luying,
I can't find so many black diamonds anymore. Oh, only a dress like this can match Katyusha's beauty..."
It looks like the bride is about to change her clothes.
When Su Lun saw this, he wisely stood up to avoid it and said, "I'll go out for a while."
Unexpectedly, before she could stand up, Ekaterina not far away in front of her said, "No need."
She obviously knew that Su Lun was in an awkward situation now.
If you really let him go out, he will really be "an outsider".
There was no abnormality on her face, she smiled softly, and said: "Mr. Su Lun, just stay here. It's okay."
She called Suellen, not Fike.
Su Lun was slightly surprised when he heard this.
This time he was here to be a tool. Although he didn't mind too much, Ekaterina's lack of shyness did quietly alleviate the awkwardness of this moment.
Even though I know it may be a clever way to win over and show favor, it doesn't make people feel disgusted at all.
Hearing this title, Su Lun suddenly felt like he saw the girl with big braids whose eyes were always shining with stars and poetry.
She is full of kindness, innocence, romance and simplicity towards the world.
It was hard to tell the difference for a while.
Anna on the side heard this and had an ambiguous smile on her face.
She felt inexplicably that the atmosphere at this moment was so enviable.
...
After my lady spoke, the maids no longer cared about the fact that there was a man in the room and started busy.
Ekaterina is wearing girly pink home clothes.
Changing into a dress did not require her to do anything. She stood in front of the full-length mirror, and the maids helped her unbutton her dress, and then took off her top. Because the pajamas she wore after taking a bath in the morning did not have any underwear underneath, so there was no space for her to wear them.
Empty. Although her waterfall-like wavy purple hair covered most of her beautiful back, through the full-length mirror, her front face and pride on her chest could just be seen.
The soft jade is warm and fragrant, as far as the eye can see.
First the top, then the trousers. My lady acquiesced, and the maids took off their clothes.
Ekaterina has a very tall figure, slender legs and excellent proportions.
With no clothes on, her figure is even more revealing.
The soft light shone on her delicate skin, exuding a charming luster like white porcelain.
It is elegant and unconventional, and has an air of fairy spirit.
Even though her body was almost completely exposed to the air, her beautiful face did not show any abnormal color.
She looked at herself in the mirror with a calm expression, and seemed to appreciate her beauty. She even made eye contact with Su Lun, and she responded with a generous smile on her face.
It was this smile, like a princess in a fairy tale, that filled the whole room with a poetic feeling.
Su Lun did not avoid his gaze, but he also did not stare deliberately. But it was like reading that beautiful passage in a fairy tale. He was immersed in it, and the dreamlike scenes were all before his eyes.
Yekaterina's calm expression also made Su Lun feel extremely calm. He seemed to be admiring a beautiful piece of art, charming and wonderful.
Anna on the side couldn't look away. She was stunned for a moment, and then she praised in an exaggerated tone: "Katyusha's figure is really great!"
As she spoke, a hint of cunning flashed across her eyes, and she asked Su Lun next to her: "Do you think so, Mr. Su Lun?"
Only then did she learn that Mr. Fike had another name.
Moreover, listening to her best friend shouting it just now, she also guessed that there might be a story in the name.
This inquiry made Su Lun wake up from the feeling of being immersed in the beautiful poetry. His eyes took one more look at that wonderful figure, then restrained, and he responded: "Yes."
Hearing this, Ekaterina's eyebrows in the mirror moved slightly, and she quickly pursed her lips and smiled.
But there was no sadness or joy in her eyes.
Su Lun felt the ethereal state for a moment, and murmured in his heart: "It's very strong..."
Without retaining much of the beautiful scenery, the maids helped Ekaterina put on her dress, hiding the wonderful spring scenery.
This set of "Nightingale of Rocovalen" is a gothic-style court dress, which is also the mainstream of Lu Ying's upper class in recent years.
In addition to the hundreds of precious and luxurious black diamonds, the skirt also has a halo flowing around it. Under the light, there are little rays of light in the black gauze, shining like a galaxy.
After Ekaterina put it on, she seemed to have the whole galaxy wrapped around her body. She was extremely beautiful and had a strong mysterious aura.
...
The news of Suellen's appearance at Melcherseth Manor spread quickly.
People on both sides of the Lance family and the Raigadi family breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they didn't know why Su Lun appeared directly in the manor, it was someone who came.
The head of the Raigadi family, His Majesty the King "Raigadi XI", who was also the biological father of "Fick", arrogantly sent someone to summon him to come and pay his respects.
Su Lun ignored those people and didn't go anywhere.
If you offend, you will be offended. Is it possible for the other party to bite him?
I asked him many times, but he didn't go.
Helpless, the Raigadi family had no choice but to send someone to deliver the wedding dress.
Even though "Fick" is a concubine, he is still a prince, so he must be well-dressed.
The clothes sent were a black uniform of the Storm Cavalry Regiment, which was once the uniform of the Royal Legion of the Marfa Empire.
Su Lun, a grown man, didn't need to put on makeup, and his dressing up was simple. He was in Ekaterina's room, and the maid helped him change into clothes, and also borrowed the hair that the makeup artist had done.
His temperament and appearance are already outstanding, and when he dresses casually, his temperament suddenly rises.
Ekaterina was also dressed neatly. There was still a little time before the wedding started. There was nothing to do, so the two of them played chess leisurely in the room.
...
The manor was busy, there was some noise outside the windows, and many guests came in and out one after another.
But in this girl's boudoir, there was a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.
By the window, the sun was shining brightly, the birds were chirping softly, and the lush greenery outside the window also spread into the house.
Two wedding guests in costumes were playing chess calmly.
Only then did Su Lun realize that Ekaterina's chess skills were very high.
Su Lun himself has various skills, and his chess skills are not bad, at least the technical level is almost impeccable.
But in addition to the technical level, chess skills also have a higher level.
Su Lun knew it, but didn't touch it.
And Ekaterina is on this higher level.
Even if Su Lun is multi-tasking, he has no advantage at all when playing chess with Ye.
Her chess skills are far-reaching, domineering and decisive, completely unlike the gentle and harmless lady she appears to be.
After talking with each other, Su Lun also realized something else.
Neither of them is the first heir to their respective families. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, this marriage is purely a political exchange and does not have much impact on the situation.
But Su Lun knew that "Fick" was indeed a tool in the eyes of the Raigadi family.
But Ekaterina is definitely not!
Even though she is only the fourth daughter of the Grand Duke of Reims, her status is extraordinary.
At least since they started playing chess, no one dared to disturb them.
There's even a little hiccup.
Su Lun had just sensed the "Tulip Duke" Bartolo Reims, the "Tulip Duke" who had beaten him in the North Sea. The Duke sneaked to the door of the room and looked at something furtively. Then he was caught by his daughter.
After noticing and taking a quick look, the Duke, who was extremely majestic in front of outsiders, quickly ran away like a thief.
Su Lun didn't pretend not to see it.
Ekaterina did not deliberately hide anything from him.
The chat continues.
"I've asked the butler to write the Isaac Alchemy Manuscript on the list. The people from Raigadi will bring it when they hand over the gift list. You should be able to get it tonight."
"I have arranged for the factory to start secretly refining the potion for the treatment of the Red Death. But the quantity of finished products is not enough now. It will take at least a few days to have enough potion to solve the problem. And once the potion appears in the world, it must be ready.
Preparing to break up with the Giant Monastery will inevitably lead to big changes. My teacher also needs some time to prepare..."
"Are you a disciple of Master Pierre?"
"Well. Apart from my father and Mr. Jing from your organization, only you know this news."
"Oh. No wonder."
"The leader of your organization visited the teacher a few days ago, and I happened to be there. Mr. Jing talked about some of Liming's ideas, and the teacher said they were very good..."
"..."
The two of them move on the chessboard step by step.
The atmosphere of chatting is good.
Some talked about serious business, and some talked about trivial matters of life, as well as art, poetry, alchemy, etc.
The two of them seemed like new friends who had just met. They had many topics to talk about and were getting to know each other gradually.
On this sunny day, if you don't do anything else, it would be nice to play chess by the window for a day.
But when it was raining, suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Miss, the wedding time is coming."
Listening, Ekaterina glanced at Su Lun and invited: "Let's go, the wedding is about to begin."
"Um."
Su Lun's expression was unchanged and he nodded.
Weddings are not as fun as chess,
It's completely routine.
The maids outside the door came in and helped their young lady arrange her dress, and also helped Su Lun arrange it.
Suddenly, Yekaterina thought of something. She turned her head and looked at Su Lun beside her, and said seriously: "By the way, can we get to know each other again? My name is Yekaterina. Of course, you can also call me Ka.
Qiusha."
Su Lun was slightly surprised when he heard this.
In just a few games of chess, I felt like I had made a new friend.
Su Lun smiled kindly and politely, pondered for a moment, then stretched out her hand, "Hello, Miss Ekaterina."
The two shook hands, and Catherine smiled in return.
ps. I wanted to write this plot well, but I was not satisfied. Kawen was very stuck. In the future, I will mark the chapters that I write every day. If you don’t want to read it, just skip it. Please don’t scold me.
