Chapter 682
Chapter 682
The guests from the Kingdom of Kamaray left, some were happy and some were worried. This was naturally not good news for the faction that advocated an alliance, and the Kingdom of Solons even had another difficult enemy in the future.
But for most people, it was a good thing that the people from Kamaray left. You know, among the nobles at the party, quite a lot of people were unhappy with Simmons, the foreign prince.
The Kingdom of Kamaray was really too inflated. It really didn't regard the Kingdom of Solons as a high-ranking or even equal existence, and the contempt was quite obvious.
This made these nobles who were already good at face very unhappy, but because of the need to cooperate with the other party, they had been suppressing their inner emotions. Now that they had fallen out with the other party, they didn't pretend anymore, and they were all behind the people of Kamaray.
This made Ralph and his people leave with a stinky face, and the resentment in their hearts was getting deeper and deeper, and it was probably going to erupt completely at some point in the future.
"Elena, you better work harder. I'm really putting all my efforts on you young people."
Watching Ralph's men leave, Augustine turned around and said with gritted teeth.
The reason why he chose to help Elena stop the other party was to show his attitude, changing from the policy of letting his daughter marry the other party to establish an alliance to investing in Elena and Elena and other outstanding local young people.
Whether they can withstand the pressure brought by the demons and restore the former glory of the Kingdom of Solens depends on the performance of Elena and others.
If Elena collapsed, the Kingdom of Solens would also suffer. After all, by that time, it would be a situation where everyone was enemies. Without the capital to compete, the Kingdom of Solens would fall into the abyss.
"Don't worry, your choice is not wrong. A small country like Kamaray is not worthy of our attention."
Elena said with a smile, saying the most arrogant words so far. He has never liked to be high-profile. In order to reassure Augustine, he must show a confident look.
"You'd better be able to do it."
Augustine gritted his teeth and said, turning his head to look at Elena who was still a little confused, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Come on, come with me, no matter what you say tonight, you have to drink with me."
Feeling inexplicably irritated, Augustine forcibly took Elena to the other side, and did not leave him time to reunite and communicate with Elena.
At this time, Leah's father Ron also came over and looked at his own king. Although he didn't say a word, there was an inexplicable emotional resonance.
The two men held Elena up as if to vent their anger, forcing Elena to drink one cup after another of strong liquor. This was a revenge of the old fathers on the bad guys who had taken their daughters away.
Before long, the three of them were already drunk, and were carried away unconsciously and returned to the room to have a good rest.
The party did not last too late, and everyone had already dispersed early. After all, it was essentially an engagement party, and it was difficult for many people to relax in such an occasion.
Nothing happened overnight, and the day came.
On the innermost tower of the palace, Elena opened her eyes from her familiar bed.
She herself was not sure whether she had fallen asleep that night. She had so many thoughts that she could not sleep at all. Until now, she still had a strong sense of unreality.
Looking at the ceiling with a blank mind, Elena lay on the bed in a daze, her body too heavy to move.
The tower itself was equivalent to a cage for her, and she, as a bird in a cage, longed for freedom.
But when the door of the birdcage was opened, Elina in the birdcage was a little overwhelmed by the so-called freedom and was a little afraid of contacting the outside world.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The sun had not yet risen completely, but someone knocked on the door.
"...Please come in."
Elina hesitated for a moment and let the other party in. After all, she was very familiar with the breath outside the door.
Click! Squeak~
The lock of the door was unlocked, and a black figure walked in. The person who came to Elina's room early in the morning was the maid who had been taking care of or monitoring her for the past year.
"Should I say, congratulations?"
Unlike the indifference of the past, the maid came in with a smile on her face, and even took the initiative to talk to Elina.
Elina was also a little surprised. Facing the maid who gave people a completely different feeling than usual, she was even a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Haven't you always wanted to know my name? My name is Ruan Xiaxuan. Just as you thought, I am indeed from the Eastern Kingdom. For some reason, I was stranded here and was taken away by His Majesty the King.Take her in as a servant and work here. "
No matter how Elina called the maid before, she never thought of introducing herself, but now she took the initiative to report her name.
After all, the positions are different. The maid or Ruan Xiaxuan before were just servants, and Elina was an imprisoned princess.
Her job is to monitor and take care of her. She was ordered not to let Elina know too much, so she suppressed her instincts and became a cold "machine" that only works.
But it's different now. Elina is free. She can do what she likes again, and monitoring is no longer necessary.
After a year of contact, coupled with Elina's likable personality, Ruan Xiaxuan is still willing to build a good relationship with her.
"It's really rare. No matter how I asked you before, you didn't intend to answer. "
Elina was obviously upset. Thinking back to the past year, she was almost talking until her mouth was cracked, but Ruan Xiaxuan didn't respond. Now that the other party had changed so easily, she felt very unreal.
"You have to understand my difficulties. It's not that I don't want to, but I really can't. Look, I'm talking to you now, right? Don't dwell on the past. "
This is the maid's true character. She is not as cold as imagined. On the contrary, she is a person who is easy to get along with.
After all, as a black-haired person, she actually has no sense of belonging in this palace. There is a person in front of her who has accepted a girl with the same black hair. Naturally, she will be close to the other party and want to build a good relationship with him.
Elena didn't say anything, but stared at the ceiling blankly. Looking at Ruan Xiaxuan reminded her of Xiaoyue.
According to Elena and the others, Xiaoyue and Dennis seemed to be here too, but they did not attend the party but waited outside.
To be honest, she didn't know how to face them now. She always felt that it would be awkward to meet them again. Maybe she would be scolded. After all, if someone left her most trusted companions without saying a word, everyone would be angry.
