Chapter 135 Invitation
◎ She arched her back, trying to touch the ground, but her cheek was lifted by the hard claws, forcing her neck to twist.◎
Tap, tap, tap, the horse's hooves hit the stone slabs crisply.
Sonny rode Melia up the slope. Shadow Rome's gold coins were automatically collected as they passed through the archway, saving the goblin the trouble of cleaning them up.
There was a crackle, and the horse's hoof hit a piece of gravel, causing it to jolt.
"Well, someone set the fire." Sunny glanced indifferently at the ruins, all freshly burned limestone. The area around the temple now looked similar to Shadow Rome. It didn't look like the work of a goblin; someone had demolished the temple after she entered.
Well, the demolition scene is a bit strange. It seems like someone is standing on the roof and lifting it up to tear it down from top to bottom.
Apart from the temple, the damage to other places is not very obvious.
She looked up and soon spotted a crowd near the square: it was Brida, leading the Hun cavalry into the city. They must have been using the experience they'd gained from Athens, forcibly relocating the residents and violently dismantling the fairy magic.
Wait, who's standing next to her?
Sonny took out his binoculars and put them on his nose while riding. "Oh wow?"
A beautiful girl appeared in the camera. She was wearing a standard Roman dress. Not only did she wrap her dark green hair with a crown, but she also wore a colorful silk that symbolized her status, highlighting her slender and snow-white neck.
Interesting, very interesting.
The horse seemed to sense its owner's excitement, kicking up a cloud of dust as it swooped down into the crowd, stopping abruptly beside Brada.
“You’re back, she…” Brida turned around, glanced at Melia, sighed softly, and fell silent.
"Shh~ Yes, we're back." Sunny mouthed, she smiled and took Melia's hand, holding her wrist tightly to prevent her from breaking free.
The two tall and handsome Hun girls looked at her at the same time, which made Ophelia blush: Well, after all, they are Hun royals, and there are decent young men among the barbarians.
She fiddled with the sapphire on her chest, turning her body intentionally or unintentionally: "As a Roman princess, I come here today with sincerity~"
“She wants to marry you.” Brida looked at Sonny and spoke each word with emphasis. “She also wants to marry me.”
"Ahem~ After all, I didn't know there were two Kings of the Huns."
Ophelia bit her lip, her bright eyes fixed on Sunny. "Although as a Roman I don't quite understand these things, but since you're going to marry me and become my principal wife, I must respect tradition. I will learn to accept it with all my might."
"Big sister, are you doing this reluctantly? You don't look reluctant at all."
Sonny couldn't help but miss "Meliya" who would chase sheep and bite them, and then rush into the tent and roll on the ground. If these two Roman funny guys met, there would definitely be some interesting sparks, right?
She retracted her divergent thoughts and smiled politely: "Sorry, we are blunt people. Actually, we already have a princess from Rome."
"Huh?!" Ophelia's eyes widened. Could it be that Elena had been on the battlefield for so long, and had gotten involved with these two Huns?! Damn it, someone actually got there first!
She didn't pay any attention to Melia at all. The sweet and loving scene of Elena and the Hungarian royal family, chasing each other, flashed through her mind quickly.
Boom!
Ophelia screamed, "Don't let Elena fool you! That little bitch doesn't want to marry someone and herd sheep on the grasslands. She's gone back to Rome to be the regent. She must be just playing with you!"
Huh? What does it have to do with Elena? I'd have to marry every Roman woman in the world before I could even meet Elena, right?
The road was so tight that even Sonny couldn't catch up, so she raised Melia's arm and waved to the Roman princess: "Look, this is the Roman princess we just married."
Let's go, let's go! Aside from Sister Melia, these noble ladies are such a headache...
"Hey, yeah~ We've been together for a long time." Daphne was such a fairy that she immediately snuggled up to Sunny when she saw this, pouting her lips and giving him a kiss. Unfortunately, Sunny dodged too quickly and sniffed the air.
"Have you been together for a long time?" a cold voice came from a distance. The limestone was crushed by the boots.
[Oh no, it's Elena.] Melia sensed the incoming energy attack and quickly released her hand, using her signature expression to flirt with him—flirtatiously fluttering her eyelashes.
There's a chance, she was stunned! She must be fascinated by me~ Tsk tsk tsk, stupid human.
Elena looked at Sonny silently, and he nodded briefly.
She has a problem.
[As expected.]
The two people who did not have a tacit understanding of each other rarely understood each other's thoughts at this moment.
Elena forced herself to ignore the antics of "Meliya" and looked at the sneaky Ophelia first: "Sis, when did you sneak in here? I thought you were going to marry the son of some elder."
"What?! How could I possibly marry you!" His saliva almost spurted out.
Unable to lose her composure in front of the King of Hungary, Ophelia quickly covered her mouth, her chest still heaving violently.
Seriously, you're asking even though you know the answer... No matter how barbaric the Hun king was, he was still a king after all. How can you be considered royal if you marry a lowly servant? After a few generations, you'll be as cheap as a pig!
She raised her head proudly. "I, I sincerely want a marriage. With Persia wreaking havoc, Rome certainly needs more allies, and the same goes for the Huns. What does my personal happiness mean when compared to the safety of my citizens?"
"Marriage?" Elena sneered: "Sister, no one needs you to marry. If you really have no life left, why not ride on your warhorse and fight the enemy with me."
Ophelia was so blocked that she bit her lip: Damn it, I ran here because I was afraid of the war!
She was so angry that she wanted to blurt out, "My dowry is the sovereignty of half of Rome!", but her remaining rationality told her that if she really said that, Elena would drag her back by her hair in the next second.
Half the power? I'll smash your front teeth with a straight punch.
Phew... Don't worry. Elena showed up here because she must be desperate to catch up with me. She's the one who's more anxious now.
As long as I can marry the new Hun king, I will be completely safe. The Huns will conquer my territory, plunder all kinds of jewelry, and I will have two handsome and strong husbands and give birth to a lot of beautiful and lovely children.
Don't be impatient, take your time.
Ophelia took a deep breath, opened her eyes and looked at Sonny lovingly: "Even if it's not for marriage, you are so handsome and extraordinary, when I saw you..." She lowered her head halfway through, only stealing a glance from time to time, looking shy with a fluttering heart.
This confession was so frank that Sunny finally put away his polite smile. She seemed to look back at her with a little seriousness, which made Ophelia secretly happy: Okay, you took the bait~ Humph, I didn't lie.
After all, he had a perfect face, a body that still had room for improvement, and an even stronger brother. Adding the title of Golden King, he was barely enough to marry her.
Ophelia pursed her lips confidently, and sure enough, she soon heard a question.
"Is this the first time we've met? Why do I feel like you look familiar?"
Oh, isn't that flirting? Ophelia raised her head shyly and licked the corner of her lips at the half-smiled Sonny. "Of course, you're as handsome as Apollo, unforgettable at first sight."
She immediately turned her face away and waited for an answer, and a few seconds later she heard a burst of joyful laughter.
"Hahahahaha!" Sunny held his belly and even let go of Melia's hand: "Okay, okay, I'm convinced by you, innocent Roman princess~"
She was busy in Rome, following Sister Melia to and from school every day, and occasionally auditing palace classes. Despite having a unique eye color and being associated with Sister Melia, she was still completely ignored.
This Roman princess is really something~
Hearing her laugh, Ophelia joined in. Imitating others helps build relationships. Now the Hun King has even a basic fondness for me. Who could dislike a beautiful woman who falls in love with them at first sight?
Seeing that Sunny's expression was relaxed, she tentatively pointed her chin at Melia and said, "Don't be fooled by her. This guy has no royal blood. He's stupid, lazy, and likes to abuse slaves."
"Oh, really?" Daphne retorted, "But~ I seem to be younger, prettier, and richer than someone~"
Boom, lightning and thunder flashed in my heart. Someone actually dared to say that she was more beautiful than her!
Ophelia gritted her teeth, ready to roll up her sleeves to count the true appearance of the little hoof - clang! A long knife was unsheathed and pressed against her back.
[Are all my guards dead?!]
Her teeth chattered and she didn't dare look back.
"Get out of here! Don't make me say it again." Swish—her dark green hair! !
Ophelia's eyes were bloodshot and her mouth was open as she watched the blade cut off a few strands of her hair and shaved her drooping hair flat in one go.
"Elena!!!" The soprano soared into the sky in an instant, then felt a pain in her calf, and fell face first into the mud, with her mouth full of grass.
Elena's boots stepped on her ears, and her voice was cold: "Next time you dare to say bad things about Melia, I will ask you to become mute. It just so happens that your brother and Sura both like to use mute slaves, haha."
"Gu, gu." Ophelia squeezed out a mournful cry from her throat, not even bothering to wipe her mouth, and rolled over and got up and ran away. The guards she brought with her were also released and ran towards the princess together. Even their horses fell to the ground and were quietly dragged away by the Huns.
“…My sister has troubled you.” Elena stretched out her hand helplessly. Sunny came over and hugged her in a friendly manner.
"No, no, I haven't had time to worry about it yet."
The strength in my shoulders suddenly tightened. "Did you really marry a [Roman Princess]?"
Hiss… This was quite brutal. If I didn't have the golden blood, I'd definitely have broken a bone, right? Sunny, despite the strange force, secretly tightened his arms. "Haha, if Your Highness is willing, two or three is fine."
The two men were in a stalemate, and their friendly posture gradually became less friendly. They put their legs together and took a wrestling stance.
"Hey, Her Highness Elena is quite good at wrestling."
"Same here, you can do more than just draw a bow."
Even the Great Wizard stood aside speechlessly, watching the scenery with the others, waiting for them to decide the winner.
…
"Pfft, these two childish ghosts~" Melia covered her mouth and laughed, and the water mirror in front of her suddenly exploded.
"Hey, hey, hey, slow down, I haven't seen Taffy and Nini yet!" She stretched out her hand and caught only one drop of water.
The Fairy Queen waved her wand calmly. "You guessed right, Daphne didn't make it to the next morning. That's all for today. I hope you and Alexandra had fun."
She spread her wings and flew into the sky with the other fairies, carrying the illusion of the garden away.
Hehe, you must be in a bad mood.
Melia turned her head and was gently pushed away by the gauntlet.
"Ah, it's okay~" He almost hit his chest.
Melia raised her hand and knocked on Alexandra's breastplate: "This is so hard, go back and change your clothes quickly." She didn't dare to look at the black crown of thorns floating above Alexandra's head. Something like that clinging to her hair... wouldn't it hurt?
"name."
"Huh?"
"Your name." The ice-blue eyes suddenly approached, and Melia felt herself floating up - the other party just pushed lightly, and her feet had already left the ground.
On her feet she wore only soft shoes that were in line with the fairy aesthetic, covering the soles of her feet and ankles like transparent socks.
She arched her feet and tried to touch the ground, but her cheeks were lifted by the hard claws, forcing her neck to turn.
"Ai," the clear eyes shimmered with surprise.
In the dilapidated courtyard where the goblins had retreated, the dark king cast a cold kiss.
