Chapter 206 The Promise in Candlelight

As the night progressed, the theater door reopened, and elegantly dressed gentlemen and ladies walked out one after another.

Although the performance has ended, everyone is still talking about the scene just now.

"The last scene was really touching. It would be great if our future weddings could be as gorgeous as this."

"It's indeed enviable, but dear, I'm afraid we won't be able to invite more than a dozen witches to congratulate you."

"Witches are really mysterious and desirable existences. Unfortunately, there are very few confirmed traces of them nowadays."

"Last time I heard, she was the newly born Starlight Witch in that country to the west."

"It's like this. Maybe in the eyes of such a being, we mortals are just like the ants under our feet, fleeting..." The gentleman gave a poetic metaphor, then raised his head and looked at the bright stars in the sky.

People embrace it.

From another exit of the theater, Jie Lanen and Fa Xiner also walked out. Several white lion knights holding torches were already waiting here.

"I'll take you home first. It's getting late now." As a qualified noble gentleman, he naturally has to take the girl home. This is basic courtesy.

"Thank you." Faxiner nodded, and then boarded the carriage with Jie Lanen.

In the carriage, after a short silence, the two began to talk about the performance they had just performed.

"Has Fa Xin'er ever learned about elves?" Jie Lan'en suddenly remembered her former classmate, the seventh daughter of the Landsworth family, Frosia.

"I've understood it, but it's not in depth." Fa Xin'er shook her head.

Within the empire, the Trey family is one of the few that has no contact with the elves. The reason for this must be traced back to the grudges left over from the First Era.

Most of the Trey family and its vassals are survivors of the Mercury Dynasty who returned from Everdark Island. Their ancestors have led numerous wars and conquests against 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 both parties still record many methods and tactics against each other.

Because of this, the Landsworth family, who have half-elf blood, have 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 a princess of the elves." Jie Lanen said about the past when he was a child. He was a very naughty person at that time.

It often gives that elf aunt a headache.

…,

"Looking back now, I'm really embarrassed, haha."

Jie Lanen talked about the scandals of his childhood, and Fa Xin'er also listened attentively. Those black crystal eyes, quiet and peaceful, made Jie Lanen unable to help but let go of his guard and restraint.

"As for me, I rarely 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 worried about my mother..." Fa Xin'er also slowly talked about some things in the past.

"My brother was afraid that I would be bored lying in bed, so he would often bring some books back for me to entertain myself."

"However, now that I think about it, my brothers chose books very casually. There were knight novels that everyone liked, and there were also obscure biographies. Although I couldn't recognize some of the words, I still slowly looked them up in the dictionary and read them."

"From then on, I got used to this kind of life until I grew up."

"My parents and brothers take good care of me and seldom make me suffer. Sometimes I worry about whether I can adapt to independent life."

"After I told my father about this, he thought about it for a while and then sent me to the Royal Academy in Titania to study. I didn't graduate until the year before last." Fa Xiner introduced her past.

Her experience is actually very simple and not complicated. Jie Lanen also learned about this through the family's intelligence personnel, but now hearing some of the details from her own words gave her a different feeling.

For this gentle and lovely girl with black hair and black skirt, the eldest son of the gryphon couldn't help but feel a little pity for her.

Maybe, this is my destination.

Looking at the hazy face under the candlelight, Jie Lanen's heart became softer and gentler.

"Fa Xin'er..." He called the other party's name softly, and the girl turned her face slightly, raised her eyes, and looked at the eldest son of the blond griffon.

"I think I've fallen in love with you..." Jie Lan'en, who wasn't very good at talking about love, could only say such simple words.

"Hmm..." The black-haired girl lowered her face and responded as lightly as a mosquito.

At this moment, time seemed to become extremely long. Jie Lann gently held the wrist that was frightened like a frightened deer, preventing it from leaving his hand.

The delicate skin and slender fingers are clearly visible in the touch of the palm.

Slightly closer, the black swan-like graceful neck came closer to Jie Lanen's eyes, and he could even smell the faint fragrance of Fa Xiner's body.

It's so dreamy and infatuated that people are willing to fall for it.

"I want to give you a gift." Jie Lan'en touched the pocket on 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 his collar, and took out

A warm metal pendant.

The shield-shaped pendant is engraved with a lifelike griffin, its feathers are white, and there are golden and electric feathers on its neck and head, which are gorgeous and delicate.

This is a symbol of his status, and of course there is no need to show it to prove it.

"I'll give this to you."

He raised Fa Xin'er's palm and placed the shield-shaped pendant that still had body temperature in her hand.

"This... is too precious." Fa Xin'er is not an ordinary girl who is ignorant. She naturally recognizes what this thing is and what it means.

"Take it, this is the gryphon's promise and agreement." When he said this, Jielan's eyes were burning and extremely serious.

Seeing Jie Lanen's solemn look, Fa Xin'er understood the son of the gryphon's determination at this moment and nodded gently: "...I understand."

This pendant represents Jielan's promise and oath. I am afraid that he will propose marriage to the Trey family soon.

This kind of thing is exactly what the family wants to see, and he has completed the task well.

Although it is related to major events in her life, Fa Xin'er does not have much emotional ups and downs, and she seems to have realized this very early.

As a tool for family marriage, this was a normal thing in the aristocratic circle, and she had been mentally prepared for it when she was very young.

Lord Jie Lann is a noble and outstanding nobleman, and it is not an uncomfortable thing to spend the rest of her life with him. It's just that everything developed too fast tonight, which made her a little unexpected.

No matter what, I have finally fulfilled my family's mission, and Sir Elon will probably be happy when he hears it.

I don’t know what my parents will think. My brothers will definitely congratulate me for finding a good home.

With this thought in mind, the carriage gradually arrived at the mansion where she lived.
