Chapter 392 I hate substitutes the most!
"Thank you."
"It's my honor!"
Sang Luo followed the civet cat orc in a white dress to the VIP room.
Didn't see many pictures.
"Your Majesty may have been preoccupied with other matters. I will send someone to inform you. Please wait for a moment, my two distinguished guests."
"Don't worry, you all should go and do your own things first. I'll wait for him here." Sang Luo casually pulled a magazine from the bookshelf. It was about finance, but he was not interested in it. He then picked up a fashion show.
The Holy Envoy whispered a few words to Minos. After listening, he looked at Sang Luo and said, "Luoluo, I have some things to take care of. I'll be away for a while and will be back soon."
"Well, go ahead."
Sang Luo waved his hand.
After Minos left, she continued reading the magazine in her hand.
After a while, the servants' respectful voices were heard. Sang Luo thought it was Duotu coming and turned to look at the door.
A graceful female in a gorgeous green palace robe walked towards them, with two servants helping to hold up the hem of her skirt.
She has long, smooth dark brown hair, delicate and pretty facial features, and especially fair and delicate skin without a single blemish. Her outstanding temperament is refreshing.
"Greetings to Princess Celia of Oss." Sang Luo closed the book and half-bowed.
Princess Celia bowed and saluted, smiling sweetly, "You must be the Holy Queen that the rumors say you are. You are truly beautiful, even more beautiful than those people say!"
"Thank you for your praise, Princess." Sang Luo said with a gentle smile.
He looked at the female in front of him subtly. She seemed to be a lively and easy-going person, but it was hard to tell whether her feelings were genuine or fake.
Princess Celia dismissed the servants behind her and sat on the sofa next to Sang Luo. She held her face in her hands and looked at her in fascination. Suddenly she exclaimed, "Eh, no, I seem to have seen you somewhere before. I know you... You, are you Her Majesty the Holy Queen, or Her Majesty the Late Queen?"
Sang Luo suppressed her smile and said seriously, "Your Highness, you may have made a mistake. Everyone knows that the late Queen has long passed away. As the Holy Queen of His Majesty, your words are offensive."
"I'm sorry, but I really..." Princess Celia hesitated at first. Looking at Sang Luo's face, she became more and more certain. "I've seen the portrait of the late queen in the Beast King's bedroom. She looks very similar to you. No, she looks exactly like you!"
She swore solemnly,
"When you and His Majesty the Saint entered the palace, many of the old people in the palace saw what you looked like. They all said that the late queen had returned from the dead. You look exactly like her!"
"..." It turned out that he came here to test her. Sang Luo's tone was still gentle, "The late queen passed away more than 20 years ago. Most of the old people in the palace are also old. Maybe I remembered it wrongly."
"No, don't you notice that you look a bit like me?" Princess Celia pointed at her face and mouth, a hint of unwillingness flashing through her smile. "When I came to the palace a few days ago, the old people in the palace said that I looked a bit like the late queen. Later, when I saw the late queen's portrait, I found that there really is a resemblance."
"Celia, who asked you to come here!" The tall blond man walked over quickly, his voice filled with obvious anger.
He heard the conversation between the two just now.
Sang Luo looked at Duotu and greeted him with a smile, "Long time no see."
Duotu pursed his lips tightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
Princess Celia looked at the two of them, as if she understood everything. She bit her lip, bowed, and then left.
Only Sang Luo and Duotu were left in the hall, and the atmosphere was quiet and a little awkward for a moment.
It was Duotu who spoke first.
"I didn't expect you to come."
"If I hadn't come, how could I have watched this wonderful show? His Majesty Alance is quite good at choosing people. Is he planning to use the future queen as a commemoration of the former queen?"
"No." Duotu looked at Sang Luo and refused outright, "The Alans Empire wants to encroach on the territory of Oss, and marriage is the best way. This matter... is just a coincidence. Don't listen to her nonsense."
"That's better. I hate men who use substitutes to satisfy their selfish desires the most. If he truly lets go of his old love and welcomes a new one, I can still look up to him. But knowing it's fake and still using it to deceive himself is the most shameful! I hate it so much! I will never forgive him!"
Duotu was stunned.
The air at the doorway fluctuated gently and then disappeared, so fast that it was difficult to catch.
Sang Luo's anger subsided for a moment, and she looked at Duotu, who was stunned by the scolding. A trace of guilt emerged in her heart. She accidentally brought back the bad memories in her heart, and for a moment she couldn't control herself.
She softened her tone again, "Little Sun came to the Holy Palace to cry to me. He's very sad."
"Hephaest..." Duotu frowned, his tone nervous, "I asked his opinion, and he said he doesn't mind me marrying the princess of Oss."
Sang Luo looked at his worried expression, not pretending to be anything but a lie. She pursed her lips and whispered, "I want to ask you again, do you still care about this son?"
"Of course I care. He is my only child! And also my most important child! I have long ago appointed him as the crown prince of the Orlans Empire with the highest order of the empire. Even I cannot change this summons. Everything I have done... is for him..." Duotu clenched his hands at his sides, his voice trembling slightly.
Sang Luo nodded. "I believe in your love for Little Sun, but he's no longer the ignorant little cub he was back then. He's also learned to hide his emotions. If you really care about him so much, you should spend more time to understand his true wishes."
"I..." Duotu was speechless, and his figure only became more lonely.
Sang Luo looked towards the door and asked again, "Do you really like this princess from Oss?"
Duotu said nothing.
Sang Luo didn't know whether to laugh or sigh, "You are still the same, you haven't changed at all."
“…”
"Hefeis doesn't want a stepmother and new siblings. He's very sad and thinks you don't want him anymore." Sang Luo stood up and passed by Duotu. "If I make my son unhappy for the sake of power, then there's no need for me to leave him to you."
…
The night sky is clear and the moon and stars are shining.
Sang Luo came to the roof of Taoyuanwu, which is the best place for stargazing in the Beast King Palace.
The sculpture was not removed, and he teleported and sat on the head of the sculpture.
Looking up, the Milky Way, composed of countless stars, is twinkling and extremely beautiful...
Sang Luo had nothing to do with the engagement party. She came there simply to join in the fun with Minos, so she was happy to leave and found a quiet place to kill time.
Soon, the rich fragrance of flowers wafted into his nose. Minos saw that Sang Luo was leisurely watching the stars and the moon, so he did not disturb her. Instead, he sat beside her and watched quietly with her.
The night wind blows slowly, and the moonlight is shrouded in clouds.
Sang Luo retracted her gaze and tilted her head to look at him, "How is it going?"
"I'm afraid the people of the empire will be disappointed." Minos said with a smile.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"The engagement banquet was canceled. It was His Majesty Alans who canceled it personally. I heard that the princess cried bitterly at the time, and was eventually brought back to the Kingdom of Oss by a special envoy. His Majesty Alans gave her a huge gift as compensation and agreed that the princess could choose any young man from the Alans Empire to marry her, thus permanently uniting the two families."
