Rose's Council Hall was a new wonder building with only a hundred years of history. The construction of the entire Council Hall cost millions of gold coins, which was the most expensive in all countries, and it was famous for two things.
First, it covered a large area and even had a racetrack. Second, the banquet hall could be stargazed.
The Sorofia Family had a unique advantage in divination and prophecy, and these two were more or less related to astrology. Therefore, stargazing in the Rose area was an elegant thing, and it was also a common activity between couples. It was like a step before a confession. Xia Luote took Luo Ya to stargazing to some extent for this purpose.
But tonight, the black-haired boy didn't watch the stars with the young lady, but enjoyed the night breeze on the balcony of the Hundred Birds Hall.
Looking at the tall and majestic building in the city center and listening to the noise of the revelers in the distant streets, Luo Ya couldn't help but sigh slightly. He picked up the small wine jug on the table beside him and took a sip.
Well, it was quite sweet.
Tasting the specialty Pamela wine that Akat brought back, Luo Ya's mood calmed down a little. He was alone tonight, naturally, not because he was neglected or abused by Xia Luote. In fact, the young lady wanted to attend the banquet with him, but after thinking about it again and again, Luo Ya refused.
There was no other reason except that Luo Ya's appearance could easily aggravate the conflict.
If it was only Ai Lisi who came to pick him up, then as the acting lord, Luo Ya wouldn't have to worry at all. But this time, it was Luo Ya's father, Ka Diya, who led the team, Luo Ya couldn't do it.
In terms of relationship, Ka Diya was Luo Ya's father, and he was someone he had to respect. He was also the head of the family when he was a minor. In terms of status, Ka Diya was also a real marquis, which was much higher than Luo Ya, who was just an acting marquis.
If Luo Ya showed up now, Ka Diya told him to go home immediately. What would Luo Ya do? Abandon Xia Luote and leave immediately? Or did he defy his father's orders and insist on staying?
It was obvious that neither option was good, so Luo Ya decided to hide. As the saying goes, running away was shameful, but it was useful.
Luo Ya prayed for good weather and peace in the world, but he didn't know that on the other side, the atmosphere between the two girls was already dark and stormy.
In the meeting hall, Xia Luote and Ai Lisi looked at each other. The two girls, who had perfect etiquette towards outsiders, still had smiles on their faces. They raised their glasses as if they were the best of friends. Their perfect appearance and "beautiful" friendship caused a commotion and whispers in the nearby crowd.
Some of the noble ladies began to get excited, and the young talents couldn't help but steal glances at them worriedly. After all, in their eyes, the two girls were perfect targets to pursue. If they were to be internally digested, half of their peers in Rosetta City would be heartbroken.
However, what they didn't know was that they didn't have a chance from the beginning. The two girls weren't just affectionate on the surface, but there was a murderous intent hidden under their smiles.
"Xia Luote, do you think you can get Elder Brother just because you took him away from Akat Hill? Heh, your final struggle will only embarrass yourself even more. "
"Whether it's a final struggle or a revival from the dead, these are still undetermined. But Miss Ai Lisi, no matter how Luo Ya and I are, we are still engaged, but you don't seem to be the same, do you?"
The reddish-brown haired girl smiled and shook her wine glass. She raised her head and looked at Ai Lisi's narrowed eyes and asked.
"You're just Luo Ya's adopted sister who isn't related by blood. Aren't you being too nosy?"
"My love for Elder Brother is eternal. What does it matter if we aren't related by blood? It's just right, isn't it? "
"Sure enough, your goal isn't as simple as brother and sister … But unfortunately, in my eyes, you're not a threat."
The reddish-brown haired girl nodded in understanding, and said lightly in front of Ai Lisi who was frowning.
"Your relationship with Luo Ya is indeed deep. It's accumulated over the years. I can't compare, but unfortunately, you don't understand love. You're on the wrong path."
Xia Luote looked at the silver-haired girl with pity, and looked in the direction of the Hundred Bird Garden with gentle eyes.
"He's a very emotional person, but he's not a very sensitive person. He's not that delicate when it comes to relationships. Your kindness and love may seem obvious to others, but in the eyes of Luo Ya, who grew up with you, these can all be attributed to familial love. You think you've won, but in fact, you've lost from the beginning."
“.....”
Facing Xia Luote's unreserved analysis, the silver-haired girl unconsciously lowered her head and clenched her fists. Without a doubt, Xia Luote's words hit her where it hurts. But after careful consideration, Ai Lisi's expression returned to normal.
"I've said it before. I've never attacked before."
"No, that's why it doesn't matter what you do now …"
"It does."
Ai Lisi calmly and decisively denied Xia Luote's assertion. She looked up at the silver moon in the sky, and her eyes shone brightly.
"Three times."
"What?"
"Elder Brother missed me at least three times when you took him away, and he couldn't help but say it at least once."
