Chapter 675
Chapter 675
His Royal Highness's appearance did not cause much commotion. Some of the nobles sent by the king took the initiative to greet him, but most of them did not intend to have a deep exchange.
After all, few people would come to this occasion to talk about serious matters. It was mainly to arrange a marriage for the ninth princess.
As a king, Augustine gave people the feeling that he was a little too easy-going. Although he had majesty, it was not much. Even if others did not treat him with respect, he would turn a blind eye.
Seeing his daughter, the king, who was originally a little serious, instantly broke down, showing a silly smile and approaching, and said in a deep voice as soon as he opened his mouth
"Oh~ My dear daughter, look at how you look today, you are so beautiful, just like your mother!"
Hearing this familiar and discordant tone, Elena couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Why did she feel that the king in front of her was also an "old father"?
Facing her enthusiastic father, the king, Elena turned her head and hid her figure directly behind Elena. She looked like she didn't want to talk to her father at all.
And while Elena's attention was on Augustine, she secretly took Elena's hand, hiding at an angle that no one could see, so that only the two of them could feel the touch of each other's palms.
This familiar but long-lost touch made Elena's body tremble. He turned his head and looked at Elena with some complaints, but it was not suitable to break away in this situation.
Facing the blaming eyes, Elena still turned her head away and looked like she didn't care about anyone, which was quite like covering her ears and stealing the bell.
Elena is calm now, but the feeling of being upset is very obvious. She doesn't care what will happen in the future, but she wants to get the warmth she wants as much as possible at the moment.
This is hard for Elena. He has felt a sharp and majestic gaze since just now. Augustine, who was easy-going before, has now opened his majesty as a king.
A pressure from the king came directly to Elena, and his calm but not intimidating temperament was still very oppressive.
After all, he was a man who had managed the country for so many years, and it was impossible for him not to have some skills. He might not be a particularly good king, but he was barely on the passing line.
Unfortunately, Elena was not afraid of these things at all, and had long been prepared to make things difficult for the King of Sorens. Now he was just being stared at by an old father who loved his daughter, as if he had never experienced it before.
"It's an honor to meet you, Your Majesty. My name is Elena. Thank you very much for your contribution to this country over the years."
Elena saluted with a calm smile on his face. His fake expression made it impossible to see his true thoughts.
It was obviously a very standard salute, but Augustine felt the pressure instead. He had heard about Elena's things, but he didn't expect that this young man from a grassroots background would be so calm when facing him.
There is a feeling when facing those difficult nobles. It is difficult for Augustine, the king, to get something from them and make them pay something.
"Don't be polite, Elena. I have heard about your affairs. There is no doubt that you will be one of the pillars of our country in the future. I look forward to your performance in the future.
And I heard that you have a good relationship with my daughter Elena. You have taken care of her when you are outside, right? Then you and I must have a good chat tonight and celebrate Elena's happy marriage together."
Augustine also said with a smile, but his words obviously touched Elena's sore spot.
If this guy really investigated, he would not know that the relationship between Elena and Elena might be a little unusual, but now he said these words in front of people, which was intentional.
"Yes, let's welcome a beautiful future together."
Elena smiled but his face was not good. It must be said that such provocation was very low-level but very effective. If it were not for the overall situation and lack of strength, he really wanted to turn against him now.
The two of them stood there talking, from the future of the country to Elena's future plans, and even the current activities of the demons.
It seemed that they talked a lot, and the topics were all hot topics, but in fact, they were not nutritious. They talked about everything but didn't have any ideas for solutions.
In the eyes of others, Elena and His Majesty the King have a good relationship. As a genius of the new era, Elena was noticed by His Majesty the King from the beginning.
Now meeting on such an occasion, Augustine would naturally take the initiative to talk to Elena, wanting to completely lock him in the Kingdom of Sorens.
But what they didn't expect was that Elena and AugustineIt was just a different kind of tit-for-tat, and there was about to be a spark between the two of them!
"I had a great time talking to you tonight. In the future, Elena, you will definitely face the attacks of the demons for our country. I'll toast you here. I hope that you and I can see the arrival of peace one day."
Augustine got a little drunk while chatting, and called the servants stationed at the party, took two glasses of strong liquor, and handed one to Elena.
There was no refusal and no way to refuse. Elena took the glass and clinked it with Augustine. She sipped the glass lightly, and the liquor slid down her throat.
After drinking a glass, the body felt very hot. Even though Elena had a half-dragon body, she felt her face warm and faintly drunk.
Although Augustine had long been accustomed to this kind of liquor, he was a little drunk at this moment, his face was half red, and he liked to laugh in the middle of his words.
Just now he and Elena were just arguing, but now he began to speak out his true feelings. In front of everyone, he put his arm around Elena's shoulders and talked about the future of the country and his hatred for the demons.
This made Elena a little embarrassed. It was a torture for him to have such a good relationship with the person he was going to have a falling out with.
At the same time, he wondered if it was really good for King Augustine to do this? The dignity he had when he first appeared disappeared in such a short time.
Showing such a casual look in front of so many people, it must be a negative impact on maintaining the image of the king, right?
He secretly glanced at the reactions of others. Sure enough, many people covered their heads and looked ashamed, as if they were ashamed to have such a king.
But there were also many people who showed a relieved and helpless smile, as if they had known that Augustine was such a person.
This reminded Elena of Augustine's reputation. In the eyes of some snobbish nobles, Augustine's reputation was really bad, and some even said that he was the worst king.
But in the eyes of the nobles who were willing to support him, Augustine had a good reputation, and they were happy to follow such a king.
