The huge banquet hall was filled with the sweet aroma of desserts and the faint scent of wine.
Ruan Ruan sat together with several princesses, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Ruan Ruan was doing well among the nobles, so the princesses were kind to her.
Except for one person.
A blonde girl with freckles on her cheeks and wearing a gorgeous red dress walked towards this side.
Ruan Ruan felt annoyed, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Hey...why is the high and mighty Saint here?"
The girl was arrogant and called her "Saint", but her expression and tone did not show any respect.
"Bev, don't talk to the Saint like that. It's rude."
When the First Princess saw the Eighth Princess Bev coming over, a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes.
Bev was the youngest of all the princes and princesses. The king doted on her because she looked like him.
So even though Bev was not the queen's daughter, she lived a life of arrogance and freedom, and was even more popular than the first princess born to the queen.
"Is it your business?"
Bev's eyes widened, and she showed no respect to the First Princess in front of her sisters.
The First Princess's expression darkened, and her turquoise eyes gradually dimmed.
"Ruan Ruan! Let me ask you, since you're in a relationship with the Knight Commander, why are you so entangled with my fourth and third brothers?!"
Ruan Ruan frowned and softly defended herself, "I know the little princess loves the Knight Commander, but if she loves him, why doesn't she pursue him openly instead of humiliating me here?"
Bev's eyes widened, and the freckles on her cheeks trembled with anger. She raised her finger and pointed at Ruan Ruan: "It's obviously you who are flirting with others. You neither want to completely break up with the Knight Commander, nor do you want to hesitate between the third brother and the fourth brother..."
"I saw it all! I saw you accept the brown gem that Third Brother gave you!"
When these words were spoken, the noble ladies and princesses were in an uproar.
Everyone looked at Ruan Ruan with eyes full of scrutiny, dissatisfaction and inquiry.
You should know that in the Kingdom of Cassio, the token of love between young men and women is to choose gemstones that are similar to the other person's eye color and make them into jewelry to give to each other.
If Ruan Ruan really accepted the Third Prince's gem... wouldn't that mean she accepted the Third Prince's pursuit?!
The princesses were fine; it didn't matter to them who their brother was with.
But it’s different for the ladies. You know, the third prince is the crown prince, the first prince born to the queen.
Which noble lady comes to the cocktail party without the purpose of becoming a princess?
What's more, according to the little princess, the fourth prince, the knight commander and Ruan Ruan are probably also involved.
What a Ruan Ruan, it would be fine if she just hooked up with one person, but she actually hooked up with three people at the same time!
Three people, a crown prince, a great magician named the Fourth Prince, and a knight commander named Fu Mingcheng!
A series of gazes as sharp as knives shot over, and Ruan Ruan felt annoyed.
How did Bev know about the Third Prince giving her the gem? She and the Third Prince were the only ones in the garden at the time.
Facing the pointing gazes of the crowd, Ruan Ruan just said calmly: "Little Princess, you must be responsible for speaking like this."
"You know how important a woman's reputation is. Why are you pushing me into this spotlight?"
Bev sneered: "Stop quibbling, I saw it all!"
Ruan Ruan suddenly smiled softly: "In that case, is the little princess willing to confront the third prince?"
Bev looked at Ruan Ruan as if she were a fool. She couldn't help but wonder, is Ruan Ruan asking for trouble?
"OK!"
Bev waved her hand, and soon the third prince was invited over by the servants.
Dennis was reading the Bible in a corner when he heard some noise coming from the female guests and could vaguely hear Bev's voice.
He knew that Bev liked Fu Mingcheng, so she hated Ruan Ruan very much. And according to Bev's personality, she was probably embarrassing Ruan Ruan by making such a loud noise.
Dennis couldn't sit still anymore. He glanced at the third prince who had left earlier and quickly followed him.
Fu Mingcheng also followed. He had long wanted to go to the women's area to see Ruan Ruan and explain things to her, but because men and women were seated separately, he couldn't go over rashly.
At this moment, he saw the third prince and the fourth prince walking in that direction, so it was natural for him to follow them without seeming out of place.
El was originally dealing with a group of nobles. In this short moment, he had received many orders. When he saw the third prince, the fourth prince, and that strange knight commander walking over there...
The nature of human beings is to watch the fun.
Al followed involuntarily.
"Bev?"
"Why did you call me over here?"
The third prince Robert first looked at Ruan Ruan, who seemed particularly helpless in the crowd, and then looked at Bev.
Just as Bev was about to speak, Ruan Ruan spoke up: "Third Prince, it's like this."
"The little princess said that I have already pledged my love to you."
When Ruan Ruan said this, she subconsciously looked at the noble ladies beside her who had unfriendly eyes, and shrank back.
The Third Prince was a nobleman, so he naturally knew that after hearing what Bev said, these noble ladies would definitely target Ruan Ruan to some extent.
Yes, he did confess his feelings to Ruan Ruan.
When Ruan Ruan saw Fu Mingcheng entangled with a strange girl.
He thought his chance had come.
He gave Ruan Ruan a gem and expressed his love to her.
After all, for him, his saintly fiancée who possesses the power of pure light is a great help.
He didn't even look at his good brother, the child of a lowly maid, but because he was diagnosed with the power of light at a young age, he was crowned a great magician at the age of seven, and he could show his face in front of the ministers and his father anytime and anywhere...
The third prince thought of this and looked at Ruan Ruan.
Ruan Ruan did not agree to his request that day, but just accepted the gem he gave her, saying that she would put it in a box and would only take out the gem and wear it when she had completely recovered from the hurt caused by Fu Mingcheng.
She didn't accept his confession, but she didn't reject it either.
The Third Prince looked at Ruan Ruan, who stood there like a holy lily, her eyes red but stubborn, even in the jealous eyes of the noble lady...
"Bev! How could you say such slanderous words to someone else!"
The third prince frowned, and his eyes looked at Bev without any softening.
He had long been fed up with this arrogant and brainless sister. She was not pretty and had such a vicious heart. Most importantly, she was just like his good brother, the daughter of that scumbag maid.
Bev's eyes widened in disbelief. She yelled, "Impossible! You're lying! I saw it all!"
"I saw you gave her a gem!"
Bev saw the mocking looks from the princesses around her, and the questioning looks from the noble ladies...
"That's enough."
A gentle but distant voice sounded behind Bev.
It's Dennis.
Bev turned around and grabbed Dennis' arm: "Brother! Don't be fooled by this woman! She's a slut!"
Dennis was her brother from the same father and mother, her only relative in the palace. She didn't want to see her brother being played around by Ruan Ruan...
"Brother! She is just a..."
