Back at the palace, the full-fledged holy ibis had already left one after another. When they left, their stomachs were chubby, and they brought back a fish in their mouths. Many of them had already given birth during this breeding season.Although the eggs have not yet hatched, the male birds will not forget to bring food back for the hatching female birds, and the single birds who have not yet found a partner are not far behind, instead of bringing fish back to find their favorite other half, is to enjoy another meal later.

Of course, they still remembered that Ella owed them more than one meal, and asked Ella to prepare more fish next time, because they planned to come here to eat in turn after going back to greet their mates.

These big birds are not at all polite.

"Okay, tomorrow I will ask people to prepare more fish, just in the garden last time, you can come and eat at any time."

She said this directly in Sathiya. Now everyone seems to know her special ability, so there is no need to hide some things. Of course, this is mainly to appease Lucis. Before Aila found outWhen she talked to the holy ibis, as long as Lucis couldn't understand, although he didn't say anything, he was obviously not in a high mood and looked unhappy.

Don't look at Lucy's indifferent and cool look, but after getting along for a long time, Ella found that she could more and more feel his mood swings, probably because he started to learn to relax himself in front of her.

And the more you understand, the more you can find that this man's desire for exclusiveness is really strong, and at the same time he is very self-willed and petty.This kind of situation is rare in modern society, let alone in this era, and Lucis is still a king.

Because of this, Ella feels more and more that Lucis is really good, and to be honest, his occasional desire for dominance makes Ella feel safe and makes her feel valued.

This is something she has never felt in her two lifetimes.

Back in the palace, Percybson was escorted to the dungeon, Lucis took the senior generals and ministers headed by Necht to the multi-pillared hall to discuss business, the other nobles left, and Ella also returned to her bedroom.

She also needs to attend the evening banquet, but she still has a lot of free time in the afternoon, so she stays in the dormitory to rest and think about the future arrangements by the way.

In the past few days, the owner of the grain store came again and brought her a batch of potted cotton pepper tomato plants and a large bag of dried hops.

The owner of the grain store is a very knowledgable and careful person. The hops he sent are all the female flowers that Ella asked for, and these flowers have been used by Ella to brew beer.

Ella can brew beer, and she is very skilled, and the brewed wine tastes great. This is not what she learned in her previous life, but what her fairy godmother taught her in this life.

The background of the fairy tale world is very similar to that of the Middle Ages. People there also like to drink, and beer is enjoyed by people of different classes. Women from commoner families can brew beer, so Ella, who was fully taught by her godmother, naturally does too.

In Sathya, brewing beer is also a popular craft, because it is too simple.

The beer at this time is made of germinated barley into bread, then the bread is mashed and poured into hot water, stirred and mixed, and fermented in an open container, and fermented beer can be obtained after two days.

The result is not so much wine as a viscous porridge with a boozy taste, so beer is also considered liquid bread, and the beer drunk by the rich is lighter because they strain it before fermentingThe bread is broken, leaving only the juice to ferment, and the poor are reluctant to do this.

In this regard, the beer in the fairy tale world is not much different from that in Sathya.

But the beer that Ayla brews is the modern beer known for its sake.

As early as when she was still learning to brew beer in the Fairy Forest, Ella racked her brains to recall the knowledge points about beer brewing she had seen in her previous life. After many attempts, she finally brewed a beer that tasted similar to modern beer, and originally she planned to use this craft to create more wealth for herself after leaving the forest, so as to ensure that she could live comfortably and richly in the future, and Ella has mastered a lot of such small crafts.

After all, she came to a medieval world where there was nothing she wanted, and if she didn't make some inventions necessary for time travelers to benefit the world (self) and the world (self), she would be really sorry for the many novels and comics she had read before.

Although she traveled again before she started benefiting the public, the business can still be done in another world.

However, the barley used to make beer is still waiting to germinate, so it can be ignored for the time being.

Peppers and tomatoes are now at the stage of just beginning to bear fruit, and cotton has only just begun to bloom, so these plants cannot be used for the time being, and there are a lot of them, so Ella simply handed them over to the gardeners to take care of them.

So what Ella is dealing with now is actually related to the land - she is thinking about the next land plan, mainly to check for gaps and make up for omissions, to see if there are any places that haven't thought about carefully, and to choose the right time to see the landhave a look.

Not only is it necessary to go to her own field to see how the farmers and cattle are cooperating, especially the paddy field, because this is something that the Sathyas have never done, so Aila feels that it is necessary to keep an eye on it.Problems can also be resolved in a timely manner.

At the same time, she had to go to see the ranch in Lucis. Although the land manager gave a detailed introduction to the ranch, it was difficult for Ella to understand the real situation of the land just by describing it in words, and this land is located in Boi.Man, so she must take a trip.

However, the specific travel time should be carefully considered.

Lucis had just asked her to use the golden crown as bait to try to catch the big fish that was hidden deep. If Ella ran out at this time, the possibility of being ambushed was extremely high, although Ella also thought about whether to take a risk, to lure the snake out of the hole, but the sword has no eyes. For the sake of her own life and the lives of others, she gave up this idea.

But in this way, her travel plan must be shelved.

It would be great if we could get the truth out of Percybson's mouth, but Ella felt that Percybson's place would not be a good breakthrough.

But if she can't find anyone, even she herself will feel uneasy.

"Sure enough, I hope that person can be caught soon."

···

As night fell, the multi-column hall where the ministers discussed state affairs during the day became a joyful place for the nobles to drink and have fun. Before the king arrived, the nobles who arrived first had already started to enjoy the fine wine on their own actions.

Since they ate food that they had never eaten at the banquet last time, the nobles looked forward to the banquet hosted by His Majesty even more, because this is their only chance to taste those unique food again, although they eat it every day.There are also working meals, but the chefs responsible for the working meals are not the same people as the chefs responsible for cooking for the king. The working meals of the ministers are prepared by other chefs in another kitchen, which is not the same place as the royal kitchen.Princesses are not treated like this, and the harem also has its own kitchen.

Although everyone knows that the new things that have appeared recently are related to that princess, no one dares to ask her directly for recipes. Najiduo and others who control the production methods of these delicacies are even more secretive. This can be used as a family heirloomA precious recipe passed down.

So these nobles who can’t eat outside can now look forward to the king’s banquet, but unfortunately their majesty doesn’t like to be lively, and they don’t hold banquets unless necessary, and the princess who lives reclusively seems to be the same, so far no one has been able to inviteto her party.

In this regard, their majesty and princess are really worthy.

Ella came late with Lucis, because she was attending a banquet, she changed out of the loose traditional robe she wore in the morning, and put on a simple blue sleeveless dress.This skirt has a dizzy feeling.

Although the style of this skirt is simple, the color of the skirt is dyed with lapis lazuli, which is as expensive as gold, and it takes a staggering amount of lapis lazuli to own such a skirt, and its craftsmanship is even more preciousWell, the price of a skirt is even worth a city's tax for a year, and even nobles, only a very small number of people can own a set of clothes made of lapis lazuli-dyed cloth.

But this skirt is suitable for her. The close-fitting long skirt outlines a moving curve, and the tight belt makes her slender waist even more perfect. That exquisite and perfect figure, even ifIt's a woman who will be moved when she sees it, envious and jealous.

But what is more eye-catching is still the wide gold collar with multiple layers of gemstones that is only two layers less than the king's, but the style is almost exactly the same, and the golden crown on her head that glistens under the light of the flames.

During the day, it was hard to see from a distance, and many people mistook the golden crown. At night, the swaying flames in the hall made it even more difficult for people to tell whether it was the crown of the sun god.

But in fact, during the daytime discussion, a minister asked about this matter, and euphemistically pointed out that this golden crown should not be worn on the head of a foreign woman.

The last time the princess wore a pharaoh collar that only the king could wear at the banquet, because the shape and layers were different from the style that only the king could wear, the ministers just turned a blind eye, but thisWhen it was replaced with a golden crown, they really couldn't pretend they hadn't seen it anymore.

But Lucis told them directly that it was not the sun crown, but the moon crown he prepared for his future wife.

"She will soon become my fiancée, and in the near future she will become my queen. I think this status is enough for her to wear any golden crown."

These words were not intended to provoke some people, but Lucis's sincere words. Ella came to ask Lucis because of a misunderstanding, but reminded him that he should really put the marriage proposal on the agenda.

But obviously the truth is more exciting. When the discussion ended, the ministers spread the news, and more and more people knew that they were about to welcome a foreign queen.

But Ella didn't know about this. She just found that the more high-status guests at the banquet today looked at her more complicatedly, and there were more jealous eyes than before, and some even wanted to burn her to ashes.Among them, the eyes of a certain princess are the most obvious, that eyes can't wait to turn into knives and slash her body a few times.

So, something happened that she didn't know about?

·····

Today, Ella is still sitting on the king's low couch with Lucis.

Before, the left and right sides under the throne were the positions of princesses, but today's protagonists are General Necht and others who have returned from victory.

The first position on the left under the steps, this is the position closest to Lucis besides Ella, the princesses were sitting here before, but today all the princesses are sitting on the right side, that is, on the side of EllaProbably not wanting to frighten these soft princesses, the big lion did not appear at the banquet today.

When Lucis raised his glass to announce the opening of the banquet, Ella also held the wine glass, but her wine glass was filled with fresh juice squeezed from grapes and pomegranates, which was specially adjusted to the same color as the wine, except for the king and the maid who poured it for her., no one knows what she's drinking is not alcohol, Ella doesn't mind having a drink once in a while, but there's too much alcohol at the party, and this time they're fishing again, in order to prevent accidents, she has to stay awake at all times, so just put the wineSwitched to fruit juice.

He lowered his head and was about to take a sip when he met a pair of beautiful eyes full of anger.

Although she had only met a few times, Ella remembered that the owner of the eyes was Princess Minaya, who Tetis said had thoughts about Lucis and acted on them, but had never been successful.

This Princess Minaya is indeed a rare sexy beauty. Although she is a few years older than Lucis, she has been well maintained. Her appearance is still charming and gorgeous, and her honey-colored skin is delicate, firm, shiny, and plumpHer figure is even more uneven, plump like a ripe peach, and her every move is full of temptation.

Even though she was glaring at Ayla with angry eyes now, it didn't spoil her beauty.

Ella knew why she was looking at her like that, she looked away helplessly, and approached Lucis - which obviously made him even angrier - and whispered in his ear: "Your princess is going to be very angry now."

"She's just my brother's princess."

Lucis followed her gaze and saw Princess Minaya, but the latter put away the anger on her face when Ella turned her head to talk to Lucis.At that time, he gave him a charming and charming smile.

The face-changing speed is astounding.

Ella also saw this scene, she felt uncomfortable for a while, and her tone was inevitably a little emotional: "According to Sathya's custom, she is now your princess."

Lucis heard the strangeness in her tone, a smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, and he explained in a low voice: "I haven't held a ceremony to welcome the princess, nor have I signed a marriage contract, so they are still my brother's princess."

The Sathya people need to sign a marriage contract when they get married, but in the royal family, no matter whether the king is marrying a queen or a princess, a marriage contract needs to be signed, but the content is different. Lucis wants to inherit his brother's harem, and according to the rules, he must marry these princesses.Sign the marriage contract, and then have people burn the marriage contract into clay tablets and enshrine it in front of the gods.

But Lucis has never signed a marriage contract with any of them. Legally speaking, these people are just his sister-in-law, but only a few people know this.The country took them back to marry other people, and they begged Lucis not to tell the story, allowing them to say that they were his princesses, and Lucis considered that if these princesses were sent back, those countries would definitely choose anotherA young princess married him, and in order not to be annoyed by these people, he granted their request.

And as long as the remaining few princesses who were born in the harem still want to live in the harem, they will not tell the truth.

For the first time, Ella knew that there was an inside story. While she was surprised, the little emotion in her heart quickly disappeared.

And Lucis is still saying: "If you don't like them, then I will let them leave the harem."

"It's not necessary." Ella smiled, and said in a good mood: "They are also poor people, and I don't want to be a villain."

She herself was also worried that she would be sent to marry by the king's father, so she naturally understood the thoughts of these princesses and concubines, and after listening to Lucis' inside story, she naturally would not mind their existence.

Although the Princess Minaya below who always stares at her is indeed a bit annoying.

The position of the king is the focus of the entire banquet hall, and every move of the two falls into the eyes of the people below. Seeing them leaning together, talking softly and whispering, and smiling from time to time, this intimacy like no one else, does not know how to irritate them.How many people's eyes hurt.

However, Ella didn't chat with Lucis in private for too long. After all, this was a celebration banquet, and the protagonists were General Necht and his subordinate generals.

It could be seen that Lucis really valued this general. At the banquet, he not only toasted to Necht frequently, but also chatted with them, mostly talking about interesting things that happened in the army, and the tone of both sides was relaxed.Naturally, other people would add a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

This also allowed Ella to hear a lot about Lucis's previous work in the army.

Like the other princes, this young king went to the army for training when he was eleven or twelve years old, and spent most of his time in the army. It was not until his elder brother died unexpectedly that after Lucys ascended the throne, his military service was reduced.The time in the army, but even now, he still makes a personal conquest every now and then.

Sathya is a warlike country. It is not in harmony with the surrounding countries. Foreign wars happen from time to time. However, because the population of the country here is not large, everyone is more restrained when fighting. Generally, it is a small-scale conflict., the situation that really involves the survival of the country rarely happens, and what is emphasized in Sathya is personal bravery, so Lucis will rarely be discouraged if he wants to lead his own troops to fight. Everyone is used to him running around in wars.That's why he doesn't have a good reputation in neighboring countries. Of course, he just looks like a tyrant in his own country.

"Your Majesty's food here is really delicious. It's the first time I've eaten such delicious food."

Just talking about the food in the army, Necht couldn't help sighing.

The generals sitting with him also nodded in agreement.

Compared with the other guests who had already eaten once, it was the first time for them to eat such delicious food, especially the military rations they had eaten for a long time before, and the bad taste set off the deliciousness of the food in front of them.

"You should thank Ella for that."

Lucis smiled and pointed to Ella beside him who was quietly listening to the story. The latter just smiled reservedly at the generals looking down and did not speak.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, all the generals looked at her blatantly.

Although they only came to Tanis, it is not that Necht and others are ignorant of the silver-haired princess. In fact, the moment she appeared in front of the Sathyas, investigations about her have never diminished.Necht, who was at war with the Qataris, received an order to send someone to the country of Qatar to investigate. Of course, the result undoubtedly found nothing.

In the follow-up, their Majesty's favor for the silver-haired princess was even more rumored, not to mention that she indirectly saved His Majesty's life not long ago. The generals were grateful and curious that this could be seen by their Majesty.What kind of beauty is the princess on the Internet.

Of course, they had already seen this beauty on the warship in the morning, but they were still overwhelmed by her thrilling beauty after admiring them at such a close distance.

Only such beauties are worthy of their heroic Majesty.

Although the beautiful princess belongs to His Majesty, it doesn't prevent them from taking this opportunity to look at her more, after all, she is a beauty, who doesn't want to look more seductive.

The atmosphere of the banquet is getting better and better. The nobles are eating, drinking and drinking happily. Gradually, some people stand up and perform singing and dancing. This is a very common way of entertainment in Sathiya banquets. No matter men, women, old or young, they can be in front of everyone if they want to.After a performance, it can be said that most people in this country are good at singing and dancing.

"Princess Ella, do you think everyone's performance is wonderful?"

Ayla was suddenly called by name, but it wasn't the generals who were calling her.

She turned her head, and saw Princess Minaya holding a wine glass towards her. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were rippling. It was obvious that she had drunk a lot of wine, but she should not be drunk yet.

Ella also raised her glass, raised it towards her, and then took a sip politely: "Of course, everyone's performances are very frequent."

"Does Your Highness Princess want to perform as well? I've always been curious about the singing and dancing on the Miou continent. I heard that Your Highness is versatile, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to come to a performance, right?"

This was provocative, but it was not rude, and if the mood came up at the banquet, even the king would come to the party on the spot - except of course Lucis, who never did this - and it was in accordance with etiquette to invite others to perform.

On the contrary, if someone invites you but refuses, it will be considered rude. After all, at a lively banquet, even if someone performs badly, they will not be laughed at, but if you dare not even perform in public, then you are too courageouscolor.

Therefore, Ella naturally couldn't say no.

"Okay, it's rare that it's so lively, so I'll come and cheer for everyone."

Ella put down her glass and stood up.

Ella, who had been warned by the maids long ago that she would encounter such a situation, had been preparing for it for a long time.

It just so happened that the performance on the stage had just ended, and the next person who was about to enter the stage saw that Ella was going to perform, and immediately sat back and gave her the venue.

In the multi-pillared hall, the guests whispered, and those young girls who were proud of their skills in music and dancing were particularly nervous.Outperform her in this aspect and let others know that they may not be as beautiful as that princess, but they are more connotative.

But tonight the girls are bound to be disappointed.

·····

Ella still stood in her position, with no plans to end.

Singing and dancing are both courses that fairy tale princesses must learn, but Ella learns ballroom dancing, and this kind of dance is obviously not suitable for everyone to enjoy as a performance.

At this time, it is naturally more appropriate to sing.

When other people sang before, the musicians in the corner would help to accompany, and the lively music resounded through the hall, raising the atmosphere of the banquet to a higher level.

But Ella is not familiar with Sathya's songs, and the musicians of the songs she knows can't play, so naturally they can't accompany her.

So she went to the corner, looked at the musicians' instruments, and finally looked at the female musician playing the harp.

"Can I borrow this violin?"

It was a beniqin, which was also an ancient harp. It was different from the modern harp. Its shape was closer to a bow, and the strings were not as many as the familiar harp. There were only a dozen or so strings, and it could be playedThe syllables are also incomparable with the modern harp, but it does not prevent Ella from using it for accompaniment.

"Of course, Your Highness."

Benicin was taller than the female musicians, and it was a bit difficult to lift. No one dared to let Ella do it. Two male musicians stepped forward to help lift the piano to the center of the hall.

Ella walked to the back of the piano and sat on the chair brought by the maid, raised her hand to vibrate the strings, determined the tone, looked up at Lucis above, and showed him a soft smile.

For a while, the entire multi-pillared hall fell silent, and everyone was waiting for her performance.

The slender fingers waved the strings again, and a string of melodious strings was ethereal and elegant, like a bird waking up in the forest in the morning standing on a branch, opening its mouth to sing, awakening the whole world.

A gust of wind blows, and the dew between the grass leaves falls to the ground with a ticking sound, creating a shallow pit. The seeds buried under the dead leaves begin to germinate. The earth wakes up in this small movement, and everything is full of vitality.

At the end of the prelude, Ella opened her mouth, and a singing voice that was more ethereal and melodious than the piano sound flowed out of her tongue.

This is a song that praises nature, and it is a ditty that fairies love to listen to most. It has no specific lyrics, only a light humming.The sound of the stream ding-dong flowing through the forest is also the sound of the revival of all things.

The silver-haired girl gently fluttered the strings, as if shaking their hearts. Even without any lyrics, they seemed to see the dreamlike forest.

Lucis stared intently at Ella who was humming, and Ella also raised her head to look at her, her violet eyes were full of smiles, and there was only his figure in those eyes, and in his eyesAnd only she was left.

Although he was in a lively banquet, Lucis had never felt at peace before. He sat relaxed on the cushion, his whole mind was immersed in her singing and music, and all the boredom and violence that lingered in his heart were swept away.And Kong, just like the peace and tranquility when she was by her side.

It's not a song for a party, but it's magical and uplifting.

No one spoke in the hall, and everyone was quietly listening to the performance of the silver-haired princess. The girls with bad thoughts in their hearts found helplessly that even in terms of music, they seemed to be inferior to the princess.

After today, I am afraid that no one will provoke her in this way again, and even seeing that Princess Minaya's blushing face paled a bit, she looked annoyed.

The time for a piece of music was not long, and when the last syllable fell, Ella withdrew her hand, nodded to the left and right, returned the piano to the female musician amidst praise and applause, and returned to the king's bed.

As soon as she sat down, Necht laughed and praised: "Your Highness's piano and singing are so wonderful, even people like me who don't know how to appreciate music can't help but immerse themselves in it."

Ella nodded at him and smiled, "Thank you General for your compliment."

Although Lucis didn't praise her, he asked her: "Do I have a chance to listen to you play and sing again?"

Ella smiled and said, "Of course, as long as I am free, I can play a song for you at any time, but this piano is not easy to use, I have to find someone to re-customize it."

She herself has a harp, which was given to her by her king's father. It not only has an excellent sound, but is also extravagant.It's a work of art, and I don't know if there will be a chance to show it in the future.

"The best luthiers in Sathya are in Boiman. I will order them to come to Tanis. If you have any requirements, just ask."

As for the fee, there was no way Lucis would have Ella pay.

Ella didn't refuse. After the piano was finished, it was mostly played for him.

After singing, her throat was a little dry. She drank the juice in the glass and poured the rest of the jug into the glass: "I plan to visit Boiman in a few days. When do you think it is more suitable?"

Lucis frowned: "Let's wait until the trial of Percybson is over."

The fact that someone has murderous intentions towards Ella has always made Lucis uneasy, and he is not at ease to let Ella go out alone if he does not catch her.a trip.

Ella asked him, "When is the court?"

"the day after tomorrow."

Now that the people have arrived, Lucis is not going to procrastinate any longer. After today's banquet, he will go to the dungeon to "have a good time" with Percybsen.

The banquet is still going on, and the guests still want to sing a song when they are excited, but if you pay attention carefully, you will find that after Ella's performance, only male nobles sang and danced for a long time.When women end up, they all choose to dance, and no one wants to be compared with the princess by others.

Princess Minaya probably felt remorse for her actions, or she just felt a little ashamed, so she left her seat very quickly, not knowing whether to go to the lounge or simply go back, anyway, no one cared, at this timeEveryone drank a lot of wine, and more and more people got drunk at the banquet. Although there was still a rule that the king could not leave, it was allowed to walk outside the banquet hall or go to the lounge.

Lucis had already left the table at this time, but today Necht and others were present, and he was in high spirits. He drank a glass of wine, and even Ella drank a lot of juice.

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, as soon as Princess Minaya left, those princesses who were born in foreign countries came to chat with Ella with cups. They didn't go to the king's couch, so they took cushions and sat on the steps to talk to Ella.The princess has a very good attitude towards Ella, and Ella is also willing to talk to them.

They seem to have inquired about Ella’s preferences, and the most they talked about with Ella was the plants in their hometown. When it came to rising, they invited Ella to go to the harem to see the flowers and plants they planted after they returned to Boiman’s palace..

"Of course, I am very happy. I think it must be a beautiful plant."

The conversation was very pleasant, and knowing that these people were actually Lucis's sister-in-law, Ella didn't mind spending more time with them.

Ella picked up the jug and was about to pour another glass, but found that the juice in it had been drunk.

She looked at Tetis who was the only one who followed her to the banquet. The latter immediately took the jug and handed it to another maid who was guarding at the bottom of the stairs, asking her to get another jug.

The maid moved very quickly. The drinks used for the banquet were all served in large earthenware pots and placed in one corner. Anyone who ran out of drinks could go there and use a special long spoon to get the wine. The juice that Ella drank was also in it.But because she drank fruit juice, it was a separate jar, which was placed next to Lucis's special wine jar, and was guarded by soldiers.

The jug was re-placed on the table in front of Ella. Ella poured a glass with the jug and was about to drink it, but found that the smell of the juice seemed a little wrong.

She paused, her nostrils fluttered slightly, and after making sure that she was not wrong, she didn't reveal anything, just held the wine glass and didn't drink, but continued talking with the princesses below, without the end of her eyes.He looked at all the people in the field with traces.

The structure of the multi-pillar hall is doomed that some people's seats will be blocked by the huge lotus pillars so that Ella can't see clearly, but she is very keen on other people's eyes. When she was about to drink juice, there was indeed a gaze tightly locked on it.For myself, although there are too many people looking at her in this banquet hall, the hot eyes with some kind of expectation and full of malice are too special, and Ella caught them immediately.

But when she wanted to find someone, the other party looked away again.

But since the other party cared so much, Ella naturally had a way to catch him out.

She tilted her body and leaned back to the side. Originally, she would lean on a pile of soft cushions, but because there was a big man who liked to sit next to her, when Ella moved like this, she naturally moved herselfLeaning into Lucis's bare chest, which was only wearing a wide collar.

Feeling the whole body of the person behind her stiffen, Ella's nervousness disappeared. Not only did she not get up, but she adjusted her posture to make herself more comfortable.

It was the first time for such an intimate contact. After the initial stiffness, Lucis turned to the guest and adjusted his position. In the end, he was leaning on a large pile of pillows, while Ella was sitting in his arms.One hand wrapped around Ella's slender waist, and the soft jade in his hand softened his whole heart.

He lowered his head and leaned close to Ella's ear, looking like he was rubbing his ears together, but he was actually asking her: "What's wrong?"

He knew very well that Ella was not such an active character, and their relationship hadn't progressed enough to allow Ella to get so close to him, so it could only be that something happened that she didn't know about.

Ella could feel more eyes staring at her, and one of the eyes that made her feel like a thorn was coming from the place she felt before.

"My juice was replaced."

She raised her wine glass and brought it to Lucis's mouth, seemingly feeding him a drink, but in fact, she used this gesture to cover what she said: "Take a smell, is there something else besides wine."

In fact, this kind of smell is not strong. At this time, incense is burning in the banquet hall. When nobles drink, they also like to add various spices to the wine. With the smell of food, the smell of the whole hall is very mixed. If it is not for EllaWhat she drank at first was fruit juice, but now it was replaced by wine, which made her realize something was wrong, and she probably missed the little smell in the wine.

At least Lucis couldn't smell it.

But he could smell the aroma of wine, which was the same fragrance as his favorite wine, but Ella drank fruit juice, even if it was grape juice mixed with pomegranate juice, it shouldn't have the fragrance of wine.

Someone switched Ella's drink, what are they going to do?what else can i do

Lucy's face suddenly darkened.

He raised his hand to call for a soldier, but Ella held him down: "Don't move, pretend to be drinking, I'll see if I can find out who it is."

Lucis grabbed her hand and put the wine glass to his mouth.

There was actually very little wine in Ella's glass, and he made the gesture of drinking, but he didn't actually touch it at all.

Just at this moment, there was a strange noise from below.

There was a bang, the cracking sound of the cup falling to the ground.

Some abrupt noises were not obvious in the lively banquet hall, but Ella, who had been paying attention to a certain place, did not miss this sound.

She raised the corner of her mouth and whispered in Lucis' ear, "I found it."
