The rebellion in the southern border of the empire triggered a long discussion in the imperial capital, and this trend has only gradually subsided recently. It is not that everyone no longer pays attention, but that it has passed the initial novelty and has become somewhat accustomed to it.
Although there is a war in the south, this does not affect the luxurious life of the upper class of the empire. Not all great nobles have noble qualities, and most of them are gradually lost in the increasingly arrogant and luxurious life.
There is still an endless stream of carriages in front of the beautifully decorated theaters and concert halls. The curtains and curtains on many carriages are made of gorgeous silk shipped from the East, and the wood is also rare black ebony, which is strong and heavy.
It also has a very good protective effect.
Today is the performance of the famous "Twilight Troupe", so many nobles are also present to enjoy this rare opera.
Among all the carriages, one carriage is particularly eye-catching, not only because of its tall wheels as white as ivory, but also because of the dozen or so white lion knights surrounding the carriage, which are particularly majestic.
Each of these knights wearing silver-white armor and lion's mane capes is a Sequence 6 transcendent, and they are also the core force in the Salius family today.
They protected the carriage and slowly stopped in front of the opera house, and then a blond man stepped out of the carriage. He was none other than the eldest son of the Duke of Griffin, Gerainn.
He looked up at the main entrance of the tall opera house. The eight columns were neatly arranged, and the marble steps extended upward step by step. Then, the eldest griffin son turned around, lifted the curtain, and carefully lifted up his delicate wrist.
Then he guided a girl with black skirt and black hair to slowly get out of the car.
"Who is that?" Not far away, several nobles in bright clothes looked at this scene curiously.
"The person wearing the white dress is Master Jie Lanen. No need to explain this. The other girl with black hair should be a member of the Treyi family."
"Look at this, is the gryphon going to marry the raven?"
"Perhaps there is such a plan. Nowadays, disasters in the south and north are continuing, and the situation in the empire is changing every day. It is better for the two dukes to marry each other than to oppose each other. This can also help everyone settle down a little."
'Does the royal family allow it? This kind of thing seems to be unfavorable to the royal family. If it were done before, I'm afraid the royal family would intervene.'
"It wasn't possible before, but it's different now. Now the border has to rely on the Salius family's garrison defense. His Royal Highness the Regent should not conflict with the Salius family. Besides, the queen doesn't care much about it. It's probably just over.
Bar."
"Interesting, but if this marriage is a real marriage, what changes will it bring? It seems that I have to think about it carefully in the future. Maybe there will be opportunities that are rare for ordinary people."
On the other side, Jie Lanen and Fa Xiner came to the theater's specially prepared private room to sit down.
"This is it." Jie Lanen opened the door like a gentleman, and then Fa Xin'er beside him entered.
After looking at the sofa and small table for a while, Fa Xiner took off the wide brim of black gauze on her head and put it aside. The pearls and black feathers on the brim of her hat were so exquisitely decorated that many aristocratic ladies along the way were extremely excited.
envious.
"Do you need something to drink?" Jie Lanen also took off his somewhat restrictive coat, and then sat on the sofa with Fa Xiner.
"Well, cran juice." Fa Xin'er said her preference, which made Jie Lanen smile a little.
Then he rang the bell to summon the attendants, and then he and the girl beside him waited peacefully, as the performance would not start for a while.
In the past month or so, he has visited the Treyi family's mansion many times, and through inquiries from various channels, he has gradually increased his understanding of this girl.
It has to be said that this girl with black hair and black skirt is one of the few people in the aristocratic circle who is very private and has few friends.
It's not that her personality is unlikable, it's just that this Hee Jung is indeed different from other aristocratic girls who are keen on socializing.
After going back and forth, Jie Lanen became more and more satisfied with Fa Xiner. The hazy beauty of love seemed to resurface in his heart after many years of separation, making people full of yearning.
Maybe, this will be a new beginning.
He would sometimes say this to himself, it's time to get out of the past. As the future leader of the Griffin family, you are bound to face various challenges, and you cannot continue to indulge in the childish obsession of the past.
Time passed by, and just as Jie Lanen was in a daze, the lights on the stage gradually dimmed, and the hall below gradually became quiet.
The performance is about to begin.
Gentle strings plucked in the darkness, and then a light yellow halo slowly appeared on the stage, and a musician wearing a feather hat appeared.
Golden light threads overflowed from the strings, then flew around his side, and finally outlined a beautiful scene on the curtain behind him.
It was in the wilderness at sunset and dusk. A carriage was advancing on the next door. Under the cliff, pedestrians in various clothes stood by the roadside, listening to the performances of poets, singers and musicians on the carriage. The scene was peaceful and peaceful, which made people feel sad.
Full of nostalgia.
"The Dusk Troupe of Sunset Pastoral, welcome everyone." The short welcome song ended, and the musician bent down and saluted, indicating that the program officially started.
"Today, the program we are going to perform is the famous opera "Encounter in the Emerald Forest" in the empire. Please look forward to it."
Soon after, the curtain fell again, and then opened again, revealing a painted backdrop, in which the silhouettes of branches and flowers decorated the stage with great splendor, and a young man with black hair slowly stepped onto the stage.
What this young man performed was the Opener of the Green Empire, or the origin of the current empire, the Red Prince, Yalin.
According to old legends, this legendary hero entered the Emerald Forest alone when he was young, and then met the young Elf Queen, and the two fell in love at first sight, which led to the subsequent merger of the two parties.
and even the overall rise of the empire.
…
"I love you, just like the moonlight falling from the sky, without any haze, vast and endless."
On the stage, the actor spoke exaggerated words, but his voice was tactful and his words were as beautiful as a melody, making people listen to it countless times without getting tired of it.
"Well, I like you too, as well as the sacred trees in the forest, cute friends, and furry animals." The elf girl in the white dress sat on the branch, and a bird with white feathers slowly landed on her shoulder.
.
Seeing the elf girl turn her attention to the bird resting on her shoulder, the young man below had no choice but to speak again.
Yalin: "I mean, I hope to be with you forever."
Titania: "Well, it depends on who lives longer, haha~"
On the branch, the elf girl was smiling and talking, and this touching scene also fascinated many viewers. Even though they were thousands of years apart, they still imagined the beautiful scene when Yalin met the elf girl.
