While Luo Ya was enduring Nuo Aier's stormy attacks on the balcony at the top of the Pavilion of Selta, Xia Luote Sorofia was facing a serious challenge on another battlefield.
This evening, a banquet was also held at the Carlos Hall in the second manor of Sorofia. However, unlike the banquet where Nuo Aier and Luo Ya supported each other, Sorofia's banquet was quite serious and unusually polite.
There was only one person invited to this banquet, and that was the head of the Akat Family, Ka Diya Akat. As for the invitee, it was Bruce Sorofia. However, this was not a secret meeting between the two of them, but a third person.
At the dining table, the reddish-brown haired girl was eating her meal with proper etiquette. Beside her ears were the occasional chatter of the two family heads. From yesterday's exchange of pleasantries until now, Bruce and Katya were already quite familiar with each other, which was why their conversations were much more relaxed.
"Marquis Ka Diya, the weather on your side this year seems to be better than in the past."
"Indeed, this winter is not as cold as in the past, but there is still a lot of snow. The weather on Rose's side is still stable. I think this year's grain production should be good."
"Haha, indeed. Our Ministry of Agriculture also expects this year to be a bumper harvest."
Bruce took a sip of wine and said so with a smile. He looked to the side and glanced at Xia Luote who was obviously more nervous than usual. He sighed in his heart.
Now that the banquet had reached the dessert segment, the three people at the dining table were basically chatting. After a long period of foreshadowing and getting closer to each other, Bruce began to work.
"Marquis Ka Diya, I'm very sorry about this incident. Xia Luote was too concerned about Luo Ya, so she did this on impulse."
"Haha, Mr. Bruce, you don't have to apologize. Our family's Ai Lisi has always been infatuated with Luo Ya, which led to this ridiculous incident. We have to apologize to the host, Rose."
"Marquis Ka Diya is too polite. This time, the successful treatment of Luo Ya back to Rose is all thanks to Miss Ai Lisi. Luo Ya and Xia Luote found many ancient technologies of the Kingdom of Sofia in the ruins together. They are our benefactors. His recovery is our most sincere wish."
The two fathers laughed back and forth, which made Xia Luote's face even paler. Marquis Ka Diya's undisguised support for his adopted daughter could be said to be clear and easy to understand. Most importantly, Xia Luote didn't hear anything about the marriage contract from him.
The marriage contract between the two families was now in name only due to Nuo Aier's intervention. After this incident, although Xia Luote seemed to still have a name, in fact, it was a loss because without the marriage contract, the other two had the approval of Luo Ya's father, Ka Diya. They were far superior to her.
There was no doubt that this was an unfair competition.
Although Luo Ya was a person who didn't pay much attention to these things, the boy paid more attention to the most direct feelings when getting along with people. However, falling in love and getting married were two different things. Once it came to marriage, Ka Diya was a mountain that couldn't be bypassed.
After understanding this, Xia Luote naturally didn't dare to act rashly. She decisively looked for Bruce, hoping to solve this matter. But so far, Ka Diya's attitude still hadn't changed.
"This time, Luo Ya helped our Sorofia Family find important historical relics, many of which we have searched for hundreds of years without success. I think this means that the friendship between our two families has reached a fateful moment, and we can go further."
"Hahaha, Mr. Bruce, you flatter me. Luo Ya was just following the guidance of the bloodline. It was unexpected that she could help find Sorofia Family's target curse vessel. As for the further cooperation between our two families, I agree. The economic development of Akat Hill is inseparable from Luo Ya's assistance and support."
Under Ka Diya's modest and polite change of topic, Bruce smiled on the surface, but he was helpless in his heart. On the other side, Xia Luote was completely at a loss.
To this day, Xia Luote didn't understand why Ka Diya was so opposed to her contacting Luo Ya. As the eldest daughter of the Sorofia Family, Xia Luote ruled a region with her extraordinary talent when she was nine years old. Even the leaders of the Rosetta Chamber of Commerce respected her from the bottom of their hearts. Whether it was talent, status, or ability, Xia Luote was almost impeccable. However, these seemed to be ineffective in front of Ka Diya.
Where am I lacking? Why is Luo Ya's father so annoying?
Is it because I forcibly brought back Luo Ya? No, that's not right. Katya's interference was already there before that. Then why …?
The girl clenched her fists and bit her lips. There were countless questions in her heart. However, in the face of her lover's parents, Xia Luote didn't dare to question them at all. She was so nervous that she didn't even dare to speak.
That's right, Charlotte, who had never had stage fright before, was now scared. She felt that this was the first time she had fought in a situation where she didn't have any information to support her and didn't understand her opponent's needs. If she were to lose, she might lose the love that she treasured. This price was too great, so great that she couldn't bear it.
"Well, it's getting late, Mr. Bruce, Miss Xia Luote, it's almost time for me to leave."
After a flawless chat, Ka Diya politely said goodbye with a smile on her face. Bruce glanced sideways at Xia Luote, who hadn't spoken much all this time, and stiffened when she heard Ka Diya say goodbye. He knew that tonight's banquet was probably in vain.
What a pity. This should have been the best opportunity, but Ka Diya's attitude was very firm. His daughter's marriage was probably …
The brown-haired middle-aged man thought about the Akat family's attitude all this time and felt pessimistic. Xia Luote's abnormal performance tonight made him very anxious. There was no doubt that his daughter had fallen deeply in love, and there was a problem with her mentality. It was precisely because of this that she appeared to be timid in front of Luo Ya's father. However, this actually made her look bad.
Showing her true self and showing her outstanding side to conquer the other party's parents was what Xia Luote should do now. Unfortunately, it was already too late.
Bruce stood up and sent Ka Diya off. On the other side, the brown-haired girl also stood up stiffly. Xia Luote felt that her brain was numb. She also knew that today's private meeting was the best opportunity, but her performance was far worse than she imagined. Looking at Ka Diya's back as she stood up and left, Xia Luote suddenly had a feeling.
If she let her leave like this, Ka Diya's impression of her would be completely formed.
She had to do something, but what could she do now?
Her mind was blank, and her breathing was difficult to control. The high tension made it difficult for Xia Luote to move. The girl lowered her head and desperately thought of a solution. Suddenly, she recalled the moment when she pulled the trigger and shot Luo Ya's body under the cover of the terrifying black monster.
At that moment, Xia Luote's love transcended life and death, and defeated the most fundamental fear of mankind. Compared to that, what was the current situation? Even a monster like Mr. Darkness couldn't cut off her love for Luo Ya. Was she going to ruin her feelings in this peaceful time?
