Throne Steps

Chapter 179 Aquamarine Flower and Ruby

It's really normal for Belem to have a bad look at Ruby.

Meloyer, the color of sea blue, and Johe, the color of silver and vermilion, were originally the two representatives of the aristocratic forces in the Saenz lineage, and their relationship was very delicate.To say that Cervantes is still at a slight disadvantage against Belém, but Ruby is "beating two invincible opponents".The reason is very simple, only Beren is the younger generation of the main family of Sea Blue Color.Let alone a girl of the right age, Beren didn't even have a right-hand man with close blood.

This is the trouble of Sea Blue Color now: all the nourishment is given to a tree, and it can be cultivated into a towering tree, but after all, a single tree cannot become a forest.

Among other things, at least right now when Ruby is blatantly targeting the position of "fiancée", it is difficult for the color of sea blue to form an effective confrontation.

However, this was also made by Meloyer himself, Li Chen thought to himself.He heard that the color of sea blue has been looking for excellent girls from side branches, but after a few years, it seems that there is no progress at all.It is said that Belen's requirements were too strict, which led to a dilemma.

No way, who made Beren push a side branch Nolan Meloyer back then, but that girl turned a good plan into a joke.The feeling of failure is still vivid in my memory, and Meloyer will definitely not make another shot easily.

And Ruby's brilliance reminded Belen of the mistakes he had made all the time. How could Belen have a good face for this girl?

His attitude towards the silver and vermilion lady of the main family caused girls from other families not to dare to come forward.Although this is not a good thing, he unexpectedly "got a bargain" - Saenz was a little afraid of being entangled by these delicate flowers, so he would inadvertently stand by Belen's side, borrowing "high "Flower of the Ridge" let out a sigh of relief as they forced the girls back.

"It's still you who can calm down." Saenz held a wine glass and stood beside Belen and let out a long sigh of relief.Li Chen stood three steps behind Saenz, with his head down, not sure if he looked more like a guard or an attendant.

Belen glanced sideways at Saenz: "Of course I can't compare to Your Highness."

He rarely jokes, which shows how close his relationship with Saenz is.And tonight is Saenz's private banquet, so he doesn't have to be as cautious as he was last night.

"You look so cold, who dares to approach you?" Saenz responded as a joke. He took a sip of wine and said, "If you are willing to smile, maybe many people will not bother to talk to me."

The "many people" of course specifically refers to the noble ladies present.

"No one will ignore you." Belen replied, "And I am not willing to laugh."

"Oh, are you talking about that kind of polite smile?" Saenz passed the wine glass to the side, and Li Chen consciously stepped forward to take it temporarily, "That won't make you look amiable, dear Belen."

Li Chen listened behind and nodded secretly.When he was still in Pesa, Li Chen had seen Belen's sincere smile a few times, and that scene was not inferior to the pure white spring breeze.

Belen replied indifferently: "I don't need to be kind."

"Well, you don't need it." Saenz shrugged. "It seems that I have to suggest to the girls that if they want to have a word with you, they must have the spirit of not being afraid of the cold."

"Do they really want to talk to me, or do they just want to talk to you?" Bellen said, "I guess it's the latter."

Saenz smiled and said, "No, no, you have to be a little confident."

"Okay." Beren looked at him, "Then, you have been chatting with the vermilion 'Ruby' for so long, did she mention me?"

This was almost a straight ball, and the meaning was so obvious that Li Chen, who was listening quietly, wanted to raise his eyebrows.

The smile on Saenz's face remained unchanged: "You mentioned her specifically, it seems that you are not indifferent to all girls."

"Of course, 'Ruby' is special." Beren's eyes seemed to be fixed on his face, "Are you right, Your Highness? Is she 'special' to you?"

Just listening to the conversation, Li Chen took it for granted that Belen was confirming to Saenz the possibility of Ruby becoming his fiancée.But Li Chen felt that there was a sense of disobedience in Beren's tone, so he quietly raised his head and looked at Beren quietly.

Beren was still expressionless, but Lichen seemed to have noticed something from his slightly pursed lips, steadfast eyes and focused expression.A strange feeling crossed his mind, and Li Chen felt that he was about to grasp it.

Saenz's smile faded slightly, and he sighed softly: "There is only one 'Ruby', there is only one Beren, and everyone has only one... You are all special to me."

His answer was cunning and "official", and Li Chen's original thoughts that were about to surface were quickly shattered by this smooth statement.

But Beren didn't seem to intend to just reveal it, he narrowed his eyes lightly: "Really? I am 'special' to His Highness?"

He was obviously just repeating what Saenz said, but his tone seemed to contain an elusive charm.Li Chen recited this sentence several times, and the previously interrupted thoughts were picked up at once, and then, a terrible thought suddenly came to him.

wait wait wait……

"Belen." Saenz replied softly, as if he didn't realize it, "You are a friend I have known since childhood, and of course you are special."

"So……"

"Wow!"

The conversation between the two was interrupted by a panicked low cry. They turned their heads and saw Li Chen, who was a few steps away, was holding a cake plate in one hand, and was busy straightening a downed wine glass with the other hand.The wine was poured on the white tablecloth, soaked and dyed a large area red, and the color was extremely conspicuous.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Li Chen apologized to Saenz, and then to the service staff who came to help, with an ugly look of being at a loss.

A subtle smile appeared on Saenz's face, and then quickly disappeared.He opened his mouth and ordered coldly: "Come and stand there, don't make trouble there."

Hey, I use my embarrassment to give you an emergency "firefighting"!Li Chen took a look at the wine glass he had knocked over on purpose, and walked back behind Saenz with his head down.

Bei Lun was interrupted from what he had just said, and stopped talking. He just looked at Li Chen who was approaching and said, "I forgot to ask, what do you mean by bringing him here?"

Listen to this tone, another person who knows that I am actually a black swan.Li Chen thought to himself: Everyone knows who I am, why do I drink this transformation potion?

Saenz turned back to face Belen, and this movement almost completely blocked Li Chen: "It's not interesting."

Belen asked again: "I'm very interested in him, would you mind if we chat?"

"I don't mind." Saenz replied, but still stood there motionless.

After all, Bei Lun was unable to speak a few words with Li Chen.

After all, Saenz is standing next to him, and it is impossible for Belen to blatantly say "come to form an alliance" or "talk about the plan after the black swan".But Li Chen heard some implication, that is, the color of sea blue and the color of silver and vermilion may have similar plans - invite the black swan to come to the door and have a good talk face to face.

This is not surprising. Black Swan claims to be an independent organization, but everyone tacitly regards it as Saenz's "private soldier".This "private soldier" doesn't have to worry about Saenz's interpersonal balance, and can take care of many things that Saenz may be uncomfortable with, but are difficult to handle due to sympathy.Although it seems to outsiders that Saenz issued a ban on the black swan and let Li Chen kneel at the gate of his mansion for ten days and ten nights, it seems that Saenz is very disgusted with this irresistible brown candy.But everyone in this muddy water knows that the status of Black Swan is probably the same as that of Saenz's confidant.

Such an organization still seems to be quite independent. How could other forces in Saenz's line not want to win over?

In the past, because Saen Si pretended not to be familiar with the black swan on the surface, the others had no choice but to stay still.Now that Saenz has personally brought him, how can the others not be moved by the news?

Li Chen had a headache.He could imagine how much trouble this trip to the New Year's banquet would cause him in the future.

Especially Saenz will definitely not tell him how to deal with these noble invitations!At least not easily said.

The only good thing is that when Belen was talking to him, Li Chen scanned the crowd calmly, probably confirming how many people knew that he was a black swan.

...Please don't look at me with that "I want to talk to you too" look.

Taking advantage of Saenz turning his head to deal with other people, Belen suddenly lowered his voice, and said to Lichen: "I will send the invitation to the 'Swan Tower' later."

Calling the Temple of Ainuma a tower of swans, Belem is so cool to be human.

Li Chen was racking his brains to figure out how to deal with this situation naturally, when he suddenly heard a sweet smile.

"Your Highness, you are hiding here!"

— the voice of "Ruby" Ruby!

Belen squinted his eyes in front of Li Chen, then nodded to him, walked around him, and walked towards Saenz and Ruby.

great.Li Chen turned his head to look at the three people, and thought to himself: I dared to save the leader just now, but now in this Shura field, you can ask for blessings yourself.

He turned his head to look at other people's movements, and found that everyone probably thought about the same as himself - they all paid attention to the triangle circle, but none of them planned to participate.

Cervantes even blinked at Li Chen who was looking over.

Li Chen didn't want to know what that meant.

After the dinner, it was still Li Chen who followed Saenz back to his residence.

Li Chen couldn't tell whether he was more tired last night or tonight.Most of the attention he received last night was because he, as Saenz's bodyguard, unexpectedly appeared with Lailier; tonight he received attention purely because he was a black swan.

When he absent-mindedly followed Saenz to the door and wanted to say good night, he was called in again.

Only then did Li Chen suddenly come back to his senses.

Wait...Where did the ladies of Saenz go?

When they got to the door, everything was still normal, and two maids stood there, opening the door for Saenz.But when Li Chen walked in with Saenz, he suddenly realized that there was no one else here? !

"Wow!"

Before Li Chen could think clearly, Saenz's cloak suddenly covered his head, and then the pure white coat also covered his head and face.

After being startled for a moment, Li Chen calmed down temporarily.Saenz's behavior is not unfamiliar. When Li Chen and him go out on missions under a pseudonym, sometimes Saenz will do this kind of harmless prank.

Li Chen reached out and touched carefully, finally found the edge, and lifted off the cloak and coat——

"!!!"

Saenz's face is close at hand!

Li Chen's heart skipped a beat.

"After tonight, what do you think of Beren and Ruby?" Pure White closed his eyes slightly, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and made people unable to move their eyes away with such a focused look.

A faint smell of alcohol fell on Li Chen's face.

"What do you think, two 'rivals'?"
