The waltz becomes slower and slower in the second half.
The soothing tone could no longer cover up private conversations at any time and place. Chen Que and An Luya looked at each other silently.
Luya laughed, breaking the silence.
"It's been a long time since I heard you call me sister."
When Shen Que was still young, she would occasionally pester Carolina to visit him at the orphanage together, and then try her best to trick little Shen Que into calling her sister.
At that time, Shen Que was shy and introverted, and believed whatever was said.
He would look at Carolina with a timid look as she looked at his homework with a serious face, then secretly grab the corner of Luya's clothes and ask, "If I don't do well, will Mom hate me?"
Luya would say, "Call me sister, and I'll tell you."
But later, slowly, my mother became Her Majesty and my sister became Her Royal Highness the Princess.
The conflict between Luya and Carolina becomes increasingly serious.
Shen Que is becoming increasingly difficult to deceive.
The bright lights are like a kaleidoscope, kneading everything in the past into tiny pictures.
Just like their home.
Fragmented.
"'Chen Que is the Omega chosen by the Queen for the Princess' - did you spread this news?" Shen Que suddenly asked.
"I'm not that bored." Lu Ya snorted coldly.
Perhaps because of the word "sister" just now, the aggressiveness in her words was a little weaker, but her attitude was still tough.
Luya has often heard this rumor recently. It spread from servants to low-ranking soldiers, and then gradually to officers and nobles.
Very interesting.
Obviously, this rumor didn't exist before she went to the Sea of Life.
"Maybe His Majesty released it specifically to disgust Pei Ji." She said in a bad tone.
But both knew it.
Carolina is not that stupid. She released this news not just to disgust Pei Ji.
The Omega who married the young lord of Baisha Star was the one prepared for the princess.
To put it bluntly, the princess has a grassland on her head, Pei Ji is an unlucky receiver, and Shen Que is just a bargaining chip.
A rumor caused Carolina to offend the princess's supporters, Baisha Star and the First Fleet.
The messenger was shrewd and cunning. He knew that the princess and Shen Que had close contacts and even had a lot of evidence of their close relationship.
But he still concluded that the princess was dissatisfied with the marriage because she had other thoughts about Shen Que.
Shen Que frowned slightly.
When he first heard this rumor from Pei Ji, he thought it might have been spread by An, but he soon felt that it was not right.
Ann Luya is proud and selfish. She has done many extreme things in the confrontation with Carolina, but she has never touched the line of blood relationship between her and herself.
So does Carolina.
Even at the dinner two days ago, neither the Queen nor the Princess mentioned the rumor to him.
But that night, Luya suddenly changed his previous behavior and forced him to perform the opening dance, causing the rumor to stir up even greater public opinion.
Something must have happened in between.
"An." Shen Que said seriously, "If you find anything, don't hide it from His Majesty."
Lu Ya's voice immediately turned cold: "Don't hide it from her? You should tell her this, right? She didn't even tell me that you were married."
"Don't you understand?"
"The first thing I heard when I came out of the Sea of Life was that you were seriously injured and married to an Alpha with a very bad reputation. All of this was decided by the Queen."
"And I haven't heard a word."
"She's always like this, making all the decisions behind my back without asking for my opinion at all."
"I'm not worthy of influencing her decisions. I don't have her talent for governing a country. I can't be a good heir, so I don't even deserve to know that my own brother is getting married!"
"Did she, Carolina, ever look back at me?"
Luya's voice was low, but fierce and clear.
Shen Que maintained silence.
Lu Ya sneered: "Why should I tell her everything?"
The dance music entered its final harmony, becoming soft and peaceful, like the last warm color of the sunset.
An Luya suddenly asked, "You said you went to the Sea of Life some time ago. Did you see your father?"
Shen Que was silent for a while and nodded.
"To be precise, he came looking for me." He seemed to dislike the way Luya addressed that person. "His time is almost up."
Lu Ya raised the corner of his lips.
"I've been in the Sea of Life for a year, but he never came to see me once. I wanted to see him so much... but I still haven't seen him once..."
Shen Que lowered his eyes and said, "There's nothing good to see. He is a sinner. It's because of him that we..."
He paused.
"Your Majesty has become what he is now."
Shen Que looked at Lu Ya: "He won't give you the answer you want."
This time, Princess Alpha no longer showed that arrogant expression. She maintained a fake smile, with a hint of fatigue in her smile.
"I don't want answers from him," she said. "I just want to see him."
…
In the corner of the main hall, Pei Ji leaned against the wall, holding a wine glass in one hand.
The red liquid swayed slightly with the movement of the wrist.
His eyes kept following Chen Que in the center of the dance floor.
After so many banquets on Baisha Star, Shen Que's dancing was already quite good. At least he wasn't as flustered as before and wouldn't step on his feet crazily.
The dress I wore tonight was very special. When I turned around, the cape would open for a moment, like a bird suddenly spreading its wings in the air.
The moonstone between his eyebrows glowed with a cold light, embellishing his Omega perfectly.
