The reckoning has come, though late.
When attending the banquet, Arthur, the dragon knight, stood outside Li Aili's room, waiting quietly.
Caesar, like a big, emo dog, sat slumped next to his owner with his head drooping.
It was all because Li Aili had posted a 'notice' on her bedroom door.
Arthur and Caesar are not permitted to enter.
The maids coming and going couldn't help but chuckle.
Caesar Dragon would occasionally bare his teeth at them to express his displeasure.
Soon, Catherine finished doing Ellie's makeup and came out, shaking her head helplessly at Arthur.
The gist of it is: Your Highness, may you have good fortune. I tried to persuade you, but it was no use.
Arthur: "..."
Arthur looked again at Caesar, who was standing on the other side of the door.
He swore he really did try to stop it.
But just as he was about to speak, this guy, the guy next to him, plunged headfirst into her chest...
He immediately stopped talking.
Little did he know, Caesar raised his head and even dared to bare his teeth and hiss at him.
Arthur: "..."
Let's castrate him.
At that moment, the door opened.
Li Aili walked out, holding a lace and gemstone folding fan in one hand and lifting her skirt with the other.
Her waist is very thin, and wearing a skirt with a train makes it appear even more slender.
After stepping out of the room, Li Aili saw two 'door gods' standing at the door.
One left and one right.
Arthur tried to explain again, "Ellie... it's me."
"I think if you don't want me to change dance partners at the ball, you'd better not explain."
Arthur: "..."
All the losses he has suffered in his life were caused by his own dragon.
Li Aili lifted her skirt and walked towards the banquet hall.
Arthur hesitated several times before speaking.
Until he entered the banquet hall, he was like a vigilant lion.
Standing next to Li Aili, he kept a watchful eye on any male guest at the banquet who was not accompanied by a female companion.
Even several of Albert's cousins who were socializing with him were 'shot'.
"Oh, is that Miss Li Aili, the one His Majesty has taken a liking to?"
"Um... Your Highness Albert, did Prince Arthur just glare at me?"
Albert glanced in Arthur's direction.
Based on his extensive experience, he judged that the 'young couple' were not holding hands...
This is a tantrum.
Then look at his brother's possessive attitude towards his food.
Rarely, the crowned prince smiled. "Deens, you can change the sentence you just wrote into an affirmative sentence."
Another prince's son joked, "Oh, perhaps we should all control our eyes."
"Don't look at the beautiful girl next to Prince Arthur."
The group understood and exchanged a knowing smile.
In contrast, Arthur is on edge.
He saw all the single men who came to the banquet alone as competitors.
Li Aili was amused by his appearance and chuckled to herself.
However, the pleasure couldn't last long.
Soon, the announcement from the master of ceremonies broke the laughter and chatter in the banquet hall.
"The Marquis John Bruvis has arrived—"
The banquet hall doors opened.
Then, a pale-skinned, slender young nobleman walked into the hall.
In the upper echelons of the Holy Dragon Society, where almost everyone is a knight, this frail young nobleman was truly conspicuous.
His clothing was not adorned with various dragon gems like the other nobles present.
The guests present were all scrutinizing this newly appointed nobleman.
Li Aili was also looking at him.
Unsurprisingly, this was the founding emperor of Bruvis.
There's just something strange...
The six noble families all tamed colorful dragons.
So far, Li Aili has subtly inquired about Arthur's identity.
As the Holy Dragon Prince who had dealt with dragons since birth, Arthur had never heard of any colorful dragons...
This is truly bizarre.
“John,” His Highness Albert said with a smile, raising his glass to John.
John hurried over.
Li Aili saw that the moment he saw the crowned prince, his eyes blazed with undisguised ambition…
Arthur frowned deeply.
When Li Aili looked away, she saw Arthur staring at the chatting and laughing 'Albert Party' with utter incomprehension.
Those few people formed a small circle.
Many of the surrounding nobles looked on with envy at John Bruvis, whose face was slightly flushed.
“You really dislike John Bluvis?” Li Aili asked.
Arthur looked away. "I really don't understand why my brother would suddenly make this decision."
"And my father."
"Why would he agree to his brother doing this...?"
"To be granted land and bestowed a title..."
Arthur looked around the hall.
Many of the nobles who were able to attend the Perkins Palace were related to the Holy Dragon by blood.
Even if they weren't princes of the Zhenguo Kingdom, they all had the blood of the Holy Dragon flowing through their veins to some extent.
If it were truly a matter of granting land and titles, these should be the people…
However, Prince Albert, the crowned prince, insisted on his own way and selected six families that had no blood relation to the Holy Dragon.
“Many members of the royal family are already starting to feel dissatisfied,” Arthur said in a low voice.
Li Aili also looked at the nobles wearing the black uniforms of the Holy Dragon Army.
These people wore no medals, no sashes, no epaulets...
This indicates that they were not Prince Zhenguo, nor did they have any respectable knightly orders under their command.
However, the uniforms state that they possess the blood of the Holy Dragon.
