But Fiona, who was engaged to be engaged, took the initiative to stand up at the most critical moment and broke this fixed process.
Fiona's choice exceeded everyone's expectations.
So much so that among the guests who didn't care about the engagement party at all, many of them didn't even realize the problem at the first time and thought Fiona meant "I do."
As a result, an even more absurd scene appeared in the already extremely absurd wedding - these people were still applauding subconsciously, but found that most of the people around them were silent and looked at Fiona in the center of the auditorium with dull expressions.
, and finally stopped applauding out of embarrassment.
"I refuse." As if to let those who were not paying attention know her choice, Fiona announced her decision again loudly, "I have the final say in my life - I want to break off the engagement!
"
The guests present were finally in an uproar.
No one could have imagined that Fiona would take the initiative to announce her break-up during the engagement ceremony!
Even if there are one or two rebellious boys and girls in each noble family in the capital of Demacia every year, in the past few decades, Fiona is probably the only one who unilaterally announced the break-up of the engagement during the engagement ceremony!
Sebastian, who was originally cheerful, changed his face from rosy to livid after hearing his daughter's words.
And Di Li, who was also in a happy mood, was completely stunned at this time.
Dili knew that what he did in Mithril City was not efficient enough, and it might not be a plus for Lux, so he chose to rely on Tiana to develop in the military.
Dili himself is unwilling to go to the front line to fight, and his son Gaokan is not the same. Now that he has met Fiona, who has amazing swordsmanship, he is naturally willing to facilitate this marriage.
In fact, he still admires Fiona's stubbornness. Talented people always have a temper!
Dili believes that Fiona will definitely achieve something in the army, and his family will also be prosperous by then.
He has even thought about breaking his son's legs if he is not honest after marriage - how useful this kind of wife is!
Di Li knew that Fiona was very stubborn and that she looked down on Gao Kan, and there was no love between them at all.
But...that's not important.
In Demacia, in noble marriages, love cannot be said to be very important, it can only be regarded as not at all.
For nobles, marriage has always been a tool of union.
love?
Love is a hammer love!
But Di Li obviously didn't expect that Fiona's stubbornness had reached the point where she could ignore the rules of the nobility!
He didn't even realize that Fiona was even more proud of herself than she recognized her aristocratic status!
Under this situation, Di Li could only tremble his lips, but couldn't say a word.
Before the guests could react, a livid-faced Sebastian strode to Fiona's side. He grabbed his daughter and tried to cover her mouth regardless of his grace.
Please, you are my aunt, okay? Stop talking!
In this situation, you are going to offend the Crown Guard to death!
But alas, this makes no sense.
Fiona just dodged slightly to avoid the pull from her father, and at the same time spoke her innermost thoughts loudly.
"I would rather die than accept this fate of being manipulated by others!"
The special acoustic structure of the church hall made Fiona's words appear clearly in the ears of everyone present.
All the nobles heard this.
And under the witness of the nobles, her words will truly determine her fate.
……………………
Just as Fiona finished speaking, Lux separated from the crowd and came to her.
"Miss Fiona Laurent - you are regretting your marriage in front of all the nobles!" Lux frowned, her expression extremely serious, "Can I think that you are provoking the reputation of the Crownguard family?"
"I don't mean to offend!" Fiona finally stopped dodging the pull from her father this time. Instead, she stood still, gave a slight salute first, and then spoke firmly, "But I really have no intention of getting engaged...especially with someone like that.
A piece of straw!"
"I'm really sorry, Miss Fiona." After hearing this, Lux took off her gloves without hesitation, "For the sake of the reputation of the Crown Guard family, see you in the duel hall - I will
I beg your Majesty to witness all this!"
After saying that, she neatly threw the gloves into Fiona's arms, turned around and left!
After hearing these words and seeing the gloves thrown out by Lux, the nobles who were just talking in low voices with the idea of watching a show were finally completely shocked!
It is not uncommon to use a duel to clear away shame.
But the problem is that under normal circumstances, according to the customs of Demacia, a duel representative can be sent out for a noble duel - after Lux proposes a duel, she can choose a good duelist as a representative!
However, Lux chose to take off her gloves, which means she planned to play on her own!
As a result, it was impossible for Fiona to find a duel representative, and Sebastian, who originally wanted to go out, could only stand there, at a loss.
Even though Lux is now over five and a half feet tall and looks about the same as an adult, she is only thirteen years old this year!
Now, the thirteen-year-old Laxana Crownguard, in order to protect the honor of her family, officially challenged the eighteen-year-old Fiona Laurent to a duel, witnessed by the king!
For Sebastian, no matter the outcome of the duel, the family is finished.
After realizing this, even though they knew that this was not the time to talk, the nobles present could not help but start whispering after making way for Lux to leave.
Lux's choice completely complies with the laws of the nobility.
But the problem is that she pushed herself directly against him without leaving any room for maneuver. This choice is blameless, but it makes people feel unbelievable.
However, despite being shocked, in the hearts of many nobles, they were actually happy to see this scene.
As a model of aristocracy, Lux is a child of other families. Although she is well-known among the aristocrats, this does not mean that everyone wishes her well.
Although Lux once wielded a stunning sword when she was in Mithril City, in the eyes of the nobles in the capital, that was probably an exaggeration - no one had ever heard of this little princess of the Crown Guard practicing swords.
, considering that the incident happened in Mithril City, it was probably an internal campaign by the Crownguard family.
On the contrary, it was Fiona, Lux's opponent...Tsk, tsk, tsk.
In Demacia, who doesn't know that Miss Fiona is a person who doesn't like red clothes but prefers weapons?
Many nobles even said privately that if Fiona was not born into the down-and-out Laurent family, she would soon become Tiana's second best!
Comparing the two, the nobles clearly discovered that it seemed that Lux was bound to lose - she worked very hard to defend the honor of the family, and it was very likely that she would be involved!
Hahaha, you like to pretend to be a noble model, but you can’t let go of your dignity, right?
Now you can put yourself in it!
It's really too young. The face of a nobleman is important, but the inside is more important!
Now that you have lost face, I am afraid you will lose your life in the duel field.
Young people - don't be too arrogant!
Realizing this, many nobles took the initiative to find Jarvan III that afternoon, hoping that the king would come out to preside over the overall situation and "witness this great duel."
Yes, most nobles hope that Lux can successfully duel with Fiona, and are happy to see Lux suffer misfortune.
Wouldn't it be better if the king's loyal dog could not be a good man and instead be killed for meat?
Moreover, those who hoped that Jarvan III would stand up and take charge of the overall situation were particularly confident and courageous.
After all, Lux is protecting the honor of her family. If Jarvan III stops the duel at this time, it will bring shame to the Crownguard family!
Jarvan III, who wanted to heal this turmoil, thought for a long time but could not come up with a way to get the best of both worlds - the trigger for all this was Fiona's breakup of the engagement; the person who proposed the duel was Lux, but the duel must be promoted.
Those who went down were a group of nobles from the capital of Demacia!
From anyone's point of view, this situation occurred because Lux was young and energetic and valued honor, so she was put on the fire. She could not advance and retreat, so she could only push herself out, trying to save face and suffer the consequences.
But unfortunately, few people know that this time Lux... took the initiative to get angry and burned herself.
