The Austin Empire.
In the vast Ruman Forest, the observation platform at the edge of the mountain peak was already filled with people. Countless luxurious carriages and precious horses were gathered in front of the palace complex that had been built with a huge amount of money. Couples were holding hands as they squeezed out and walked into the main hall.
This was the most famous dating spot in the Austin Empire, the Ruman Palace Complex. It was famous across the continent. Every February, countless couples would gather in this palace that had hundreds of years of history, overlooking the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers of the Ruman Forest … as well as the butterflies.
Indeed, this was a sacred place to see butterflies.
The weather in the Ruman Forest was hot and rainy, and there was no snow all year round. Every February, a butterfly called the Luminous Butterfly would lay eggs here, and after a few months of incubation, it would transform into a beautiful queen of the night.
This kind of mythical butterfly was just like its name. It would emit light in the dark, and the brightest one would be the leader of the group. It was definitely pleasing to the eye, but the reason why butterflies and couples were related was because of the Austin Empire's stories and propaganda.
Legend had it that a few hundred years ago, the Austin Empire's emperor, Charles II, had proposed to the queen of the Rona Dynasty, who was quite powerful at the time. The queen did not want to agree, so she said that she wanted to see the most beautiful thing. Charles was not prepared at that time, and he picked up a Luminous Butterfly egg on the ground. Under the catalysis of his curse, the butterfly hatched into a Luminous Butterfly leader, shocking everyone present.
The queen's attitude changed when she saw this, and she felt that the two were fated to be husband and wife, so she agreed to the proposal. The Rona Dynasty was then merged into the Austin Empire's territory, making the empire more prosperous and powerful.
The above was the legend passed down in the Austin Empire, and it could basically be seen as an exaggeration. Luo Ya felt that the story of this legend was not bad, but as for its authenticity, he could not help but laugh.
Although he had not seen any historical records and could not tell if the story was true or false, with the character of the little tyrant, the Austin Empire, if the proposal failed, the next step would be to use force. After all, which king of a small country would agree to a big country annexing a small one? Wouldn't that be retarded?
"Heh, ignoring the truth and being cruel. The Austin Empire's skin is still so thick."
"Ah, I understand. After all, they have unified a big country, and the marriages of the neighboring countries should be unified. As for the Austin Empire, everyone who knows."
"Pu."
Listening to Luo Ya's sarcasm and sarcasm, Xia Luote could not help but laugh. One of them was born in France, while the other was born in the Theocracy. Their families had been anti-Arab fighters for generations, so they got along quite well in this respect.
But it has to be said that although the legend was nonsense in their ears, it was because Roja and Charlotte looked at it from a political point of view. In the market of men and women, this legend has a large audience.
Ever since the legend became popular, more and more couples came to the edge of the forest to hatch the eggs of the Luminous Butterfly to express their love to their loved ones. After hundreds of years of publicity, the forest had become a world-renowned love sanctuary. The viewing palace complex in front of them was specially built by Austin for the nobles of various countries.
Every February, when the Luminous Butterflies had just laid their eggs, this place would be crowded with nobles from various countries to participate in a series of interesting and exciting special activities. It could be called a love sanctuary. Of course, in contrast, the Luminous Butterflies in the Ruman Forest suffered. They were kidnapped and turned into tool butterflies before they were even born.
"Honorable Sir, Madam, may I have a look at your invitations?"
"Of course."
At the entrance, a polite and friendly waiter took the invitation from Xia Luote with both hands. The two of them were a perfect match, and their dignified and calm appearance made the waiter not suspicious at all. After a quick check, he returned it with both hands.
"Welcome, Countess Roland of the Mandel Kingdom, Miss Xia Luote."
The waiter's smile became even more enthusiastic because of their noble status. The two of them smiled at each other and entered the venue arm in arm under the guidance of the staff.
Feeling the touch of Xia Luote beside her, Luo Ya couldn't help but be amazed by the magic of Sorofia's curse.
The Akat Territory of the Saint Maester Theocracy was thousands of miles away from the Austin Empire. Naturally, the two of them weren't using their original bodies. Instead, they were using a spell unique to the Sorofia Clan that used twin stones.
The Twin Stone was a unique and rare mineral that had a strange spatial connection. Usually, there were two of them in a pair. When one of them reacted to the curse, the other would react the same way even if they were thousands of miles away. It was the raw material for many expensive wedding rings.
The Akat Family also had this stone, but it had never been used. However, in the hands of Sorofia, an expert in gold coins and gems, using the Twin Stone as a catalyst, she could form a body similar to the three skills of [Afterglow of the Crown] from thousands of miles away.
Although compared to the short blade of a Saint, this body had almost no attack power, but it was not a problem at all if it was just a trip or a holiday party.
In this era without advanced communication technology, people's faces were not that familiar. Even a famous beauty like Xia Luote was the same. Plus, the two of them were using alternate accounts, so there was no security issue, so they didn't make any changes to their appearance.
Reality was reality. Even if Xia Luote was beautiful, the two of them didn't cause any commotion after entering the palace. Of course, this was because the two of them entered the lovers' section. Everyone was busy with their other half, so no one had the time to care about others. If they were in the singles section …
Luo Ya didn't know how he would look, but Xia Luote would definitely become a hot topic. He would probably be drowned by the army of single men.
"Sir, this is your incubator."
"Yes, thank you."
After entering the venue, the staff immediately handed a metal box the size of a palm to Luo Ya. The black-haired young man took it with a smile and began to observe it.
The people who came to participate in this event were either rich or noble. Naturally, the nobles wouldn't go looking for butterfly eggs themselves. This small box was designed for this purpose, and it had two main functions.
First, holding the box would prevent people from touching the butterfly eggs themselves. After all, those things were disgusting to some people, so touching them was really uncomfortable.
