"Luo Hao invited me to visit?"
Blake’s crystal blue eyes flickered slightly, asking in surprise. He was more familiar with Luo Hao’s personality than anyone else in the room.
"Yes."
Without saying much, Lu Yinghua merely nodded.
"I understand. I’ll go after I finish handling my matters."
After pondering for a moment, Blake agreed.
"Then I’ll be waiting for Lord Blake’s arrival. Here is my contact information. If you come to China, you can call me immediately, and I’ll guarantee to come to the airport to meet you as quickly as possible."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yinghua showed a sincere smile and handed over a business card from his pocket.
"I won’t disturb Lord Blake’s meal any longer. I look forward to meeting you again."
After Blake took the business card, Lu Yinghua bowed and then stood up to leave.
Luo Hao... This is really something to look forward to.
Watching Lu Yinghua’s unassuming figure, Blake’s mouth slightly curled upward, revealing a smile.
After Lu Yinghua’s matter was finished, the venue became lively again, with everyone discussing the meeting of the two kings and speculating about it.
"Late!"
At this moment, a slightly flustered voice rang out. Though it was as faint as a mosquito’s hum in the bustling hall, Blake wasn’t an ordinary person and clearly heard it. He also noticed the familiar aura.
This made Blake smile slightly and look towards the door of the hall, where three familiar little girls appeared.
However, unlike before, they had obviously changed into new outfits, dressed in a princess-style gothic l*li attire.
Liliana wore a silver dress, paired with silver hair and snow-white skin, looking like a fairy from the snow, making a refreshing impression.
Erica was much more dazzling, wearing a deep red gothic l*li dress, extremely eye-catching.
As for Yuri, she wore a brown outfit, looking very gentle.
Although they were still young, the three girls were extremely beautiful, and their matching clothes were enough to attract the attention of almost everyone in the room.
And indeed, as soon as the three of them arrived, some people noticed them, their eyes brightened, and they recognized Erica and Lilianana. As for Yuri, they were somewhat unfamiliar, but that didn’t stop them from noticing.
"Erica, where have you been?"
Paolo came forward and, after smiling gently at Liliana and Yuri, turned to Erica with a puzzled expression.
This question also attracted Diana’s attention. Normally, Liliana and Yuri were very well-behaved, but Erica wasn’t by the King’s side when she disappeared for so long.
"Well... Uncle, do you really need to ask about a lady’s secret?"
Upon hearing this, noticing that all the nobles were paying attention to them, Erica’s delicate face turned red, and she awkwardly said. How should she explain this? She had voluntarily sinned, then was beaten by Blake, and had to flee, spending a long time calming down. After that, she and Liliana and Yuli changed outfits and came here, only to be late...
Liliana and Yuli also wanted to avoid the awkwardness and remained silent. What had happened before clearly couldn’t be spoken out loud.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing Erica’s words and noticing the strange expressions of the three, Paolo and Diana frowned, not quite understanding. Yuri was one thing, but Liliana and Erica were not the type to get nervous over a banquet.
"Alright, everyone go back to what you were doing."
As the people around them displayed puzzled expressions, Blake, who had arrived at some point, said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the crowd dispersed, including Paolo and Diana.
"King, I..."
Staring at Blake, Erica turned her face away. After what had just happened, she felt somewhat ashamed in front of Blake.
Liliana and Yuri also looked at Blake with strange eyes. They never expected that the big brother, who had always given them a gentle and reliable feeling, would have such a perverse side.
Cough “Let’s go over there and talk.”
Sensing the slightly awkward atmosphere, Blake coughed lightly and led the way, guiding the three little girls to sit at the table they had previously occupied under the watchful gaze of others in the hall.
This also made other young ladies and princesses in the hall cast envious and jealous glances, staring at the three little girls.
These three little ones were actually able to sit with the King! And they couldn't even get close...!
“Cough Your Majesty, you're really popular,”
Feeling the gaze from behind, Erica turned back to realize it, frowned slightly, and then, with a hint of resentment, said.
“Clearly it’s Lord Blake’s birth banquet, yet we were so late, how embarrassing…”
Liliana, with a delicate little face, showed a look of shame, nervously speaking.
"Forget about it. Actually, there’s something I need to ask of you. Liliana, Erica, I want you to become my apprentice knights. Well, Yuri, how about becoming my apprentice shrine maiden?"
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Blake said this calmly and serenely.
“————!?”
As soon as Blake’s words fell, Paolo froze, Diana was stunned, and everyone else was shocked.
Yuri blinked, somewhat slow to react.
Liliana's face began to change, her expression filled with joy.
As for Erica, her heart was in an uproar. The reason was simple—Blake called her name and invited her.
“Your Majesty, Liliana Kranjcar is willing to become Your Majesty's apprentice knight, to accompany and serve Your Majesty forever.”
“Your Majesty, Erica Blandelli is willing to become Your Majesty's apprentice knight, to accompany and serve Your Majesty forever.”
In the next moment, Erica and lily both knelt on the ground, performing a standard knightly salute in front of the admiring gazes of the other young women.
“I... I also wish to stay by Your Majesty’s side.”
Seeing Erica and Liliana immediately swear their loyalty, Yuri froze for a moment, then hesitated before performing the rite of the shrine maiden.
This made Blake smile slightly.
