Chapter 60: Pretending to be ignorant



The most infuriating thing is the princess of Stupora!

My goodness, he’s so old, he must be at least thirty!

I am choosing a concubine, not a stepmother!

People like you should just get out of here as far away as possible!

After sighing, Xia Zhe could only comfort her in this way.

At least, the thirty-plus princesses hadn't been completely wiped out! There were still a few who were quite pleasing to the eye!

For example, the barbarian princesses from several small towns in Damaitali, each of them looks full of wild and exotic charm!

Two of them even took off their clothes and wiped their sweat in public in such a dull meeting room!

Although the Prime Minister and the High Priest both frowned with a look of disgust on their faces.

But Xia Zhe felt that this was the kind he really liked!

However, what caught Xia Zhe's attention the most was a cold-faced beauty of about eighteen or nineteen years old in the corner!

The face is absolutely beautiful!

It's so beautiful that there's nothing wrong with it!

The body is hot enough!

Big where it should be big, small where it should be small!

Moreover, the woman had a slightly bronzed skin and firm muscles, and she definitely didn't have the sickly look of someone who had been kept in seclusion, never seeing the light of day.

The natural heroic spirit on her face makes her stand out from the crowd! It's quite captivating!

"Today's meeting is just a private exchange between young people. There's no need to be too formal. Princesses, please feel free to showcase your talents!"

After Xia Zhe had carefully looked at all the women, the high priest on the side spoke happily.

Hearing this, several princesses who prided themselves on their knowledge looked at each other unconsciously.

Then, Princess Treer was the first to stand up and recited a famous classical narrative poem.

This is a poignant love story. After reciting the poem with great emotion, Princess Treae, weeping, recounted her thoughts on this ancient love story.

Her expression was vivid and her words were very contagious, which made everyone shed tears silently.

Only Xia Zhe felt annoyed after hearing this.

It's a happy day, why are you talking about tragedy?

I know the ancient Greeks liked to watch tragedies, but you have to consider the occasion, right?

Then, Princess Pinati appears.

Her talent is painting.

A piece of parchment was spread out on the scene, and Princess Pinati wrote with great speed.

In just a few minutes, she painted a portrait of Xia Zhe.

This painting is quite lifelike and shows great skill. Everyone who sees it is amazed and praises it highly.

Princess Pinati also said that she would hang this painting in her boudoir in the future so that she would think of her husband every night when she saw it!

This friendship touched many people.

However, Xia Zhe's face darkened when he heard that his portrait would be hung on the wall.

Are you kidding me?

I don’t want to die yet!

Besides, you are not a beauty.

You have so many freckles and you stare at my portrait every day. Don’t accidentally infect me with them!

Then came the princesses of countries like Orestia.

They are also literary and artistic young people, and they still demonstrate various skills in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

These things indeed possessed the elegance and temperament that a royal family should have, and the Prime Minister and the High Priest nodded repeatedly when they saw them.

Especially the Siren from Stupora, her performance was particularly amazing!

She performed a sacrificial dance from the Sun Temple and chanted a newly composed sacrificial speech of her own.

The Siren dance is solemn and rigorous, with every step perfectly executed. Without years of immersion, it would be impossible to master it!

Even more powerful is the Siren's Sacrifice.

It is majestic, yet emotionally delicate.

It is much more flavorful than traditional sacrificial speeches!

Everyone was convinced and felt that Siren was indeed as talented as the legend said!

Especially the high priest who has been the presiding officer of the temple for decades understands the ins and outs of this matter.

He couldn't help but turn to look at the Prime Minister.

As expected, the Prime Minister was looking at the High Priest with a rather melancholy look.

They both understood in their hearts that Siren was truly outstanding!

If the king chooses her for this reason, no one can say anything!

If a woman wants to deal with a man who admires her, she has deadly weapons everywhere!

Even though the Prime Minister and the High Priest were both smart men, they were helpless!

"What the hell is that? You're jumping like a zombie! It's okay that you're so old, but you're so disgusting! Go away, go back to where you came from! You're not welcome here!" Xia Zhe suddenly spoke.

Xia Zhe was yawning after watching so many literary and artistic performances.

After seeing Siren’s “zombie dance”, Xia Zhe finally couldn’t stand it anymore!

I'm participating in a beauty pageant!

What kind of people are sent by your countries?

Aren't there a few pretty women in your country?

Especially this old woman, what is she dancing to?

So dull, without any youthful vigor!

Also, what the hell are you mumbling?

I clearly understood every word, but when they were put together, I had no idea what they meant!

Could it be that he is summoning ghosts?

You're summoning ghosts in my palace! You're courting death!

What?

What did Wang just say?

Don't welcome Siren, drive her away?

Everyone looked at each other, completely confused as to why Siren performed so poorly.

On the other hand, the Prime Minister and the High Priest looked relieved and smiled at each other.

What a false alarm!

It turns out the king's mind is always on national affairs, without any regard for personal likes or dislikes!

No matter how good Siren is, she is from Stupora.

The king's stance is clear: no alliance with Stupla for the time being!

For this, the king was even willing to sacrifice his personal happiness!

This is truly great!

"Hmph. Pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth! I will remember today's humiliation!" Siren said angrily.

Then she turned around and left without looking back.
