Helena appeared at the door of the palace, wearing an off-white floor-length gown and a beaded crown. The huge pearls reflected her blue pupils, and their pleats were shining and radiant. The maid held up the hem of her skirt, and the guests gave way. She walked up to David and bowed lightly.
David held Helena's delicate fingers covered with silk gloves, kissed the back of her hand gently, and praised: "You are so beautiful today, Helena."
Helena looked forward and said: "That's just because we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"I apologize to you, Helena," David smiled softly, "but considering how inconvenient I have been recently, please don't blame me again."
"I understand the inconvenience," Helena looked at David tenderly, "I have never blamed you in my heart."
Gu Hanhan blinked as he watched: What did I miss? Why is this rhythm so abnormal - are the five good young men planning to get engaged to Helena tonight?
David had a few tender words with Helena, and then David held Helena's arm and said, "There is still a little time before the banquet officially starts. Let's rest for a while. Don't be too tired."
Helena nodded slightly, and then, surrounded by maids and male servants, she climbed the steps and sat on the chair on the left side of the center. When passing by Gu Hanhan, she held her head high and did not look at Gu Hanhan. Her attitude was scornful and reserved, as if she was a female slave standing next to David and was not worthy of attention.
Gu Hanhan didn't care that Helena treated him like nothing, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, fortunately, as long as the princess doesn't come to fight with me...
But David turned around and gave Gu Hanhan an explanation: "Helena is my contracted healer..."
This made Gu Hanhan think a lot - what did the five good young people mean by this? Does he want to be engaged to Helena or not? Are you encouraging me to fight with Helena, or are you advising me to give in to his princess in case of a fight?
However, after David only whispered to her, he turned to greet another patriarch of a prominent family in the Acropolis. Gu Hanhan could not ask further questions, so he could only mutter in his heart, thinking of David. I said "don't worry, nothing will happen" before, but I feel like today's omens are ominous, and there seems to be no good feast.
But at this time, it is no longer possible to retreat. After Helen, the last few prominent nobles or agents also arrived, and the banquet officially began.
The gorgeous movement sounded, which is a very famous dance music in A major, with a very beautiful meaning. All the guests were waiting for David to dance the first song, their eyes full of anticipation and exploration. Because there were rumors before that the Duran family was preparing for the engagement of David and Helena. If David Duran really plans to get engaged to Helena, then he will definitely announce the engagement at today's autumn banquet. The way to announce the engagement must be to invite Helena to dance the first dance, and then after the dance ends, he proposes to Helena in public - this does not need to be stipulated by anyone, it is a tacit agreement among the aristocrats of the Acropolis.
David didn't hesitate. As soon as the overture started playing, he reached out to Gu Hanhan. This made Gu Hanhan and all the guests in the audience stunned, with mixed feelings and emotions in their hearts.
The Acropolis nobles lamented that the rumors finally came to nothing. They did not expect that the charm of his mistress was so great that David Duran refused to even marry. As for being surprised, that's natural. Changes in things that have been rumored are never a good sign on Beacon Planet. Most of them are followed by sudden rains and winds that make people take a breath, which is enough to make people feel sad. Shocked.
Gu Hanhan was in a daze because - dancing? Sister can't!
She sighed with emotion - such a romantic scene full of fairy tale color finally made my sister catch up. You are so handsome, a good young man! Damn it, I finally got my sister to play the role of a fairy tale female pig's trotter, but why do I still have to dance? How can I break this if my sister can dance square dance? No one told me that besides standing still, I had to dance. Why couldn't I have been notified in advance? I could still practice in advance. My sister only danced once, it was a ballroom dance on a cruise ship, and now I have completely forgotten about it. It’s so embarrassing to have to spin in circles in such a high-end scene!
However, when things come to pass, you will get better even if you can do it, and you will get it even if you don’t! Gu Hanhan put her hand on David's palm and looked longingly at his gentle and affectionate blue eyes - if you want to spin around in circles and embarrass yourself, it's all your fault, you are a good young man. Anyway, I can't do anything. meeting. Then with a slight movement of her body, she was pulled into David's arms.
Her hands fell into his grasp, and her waist was firmly held by his arms. She was so close to her that she could even feel the warmth of his chest through the dress. His body exuded a charming smell as elegant as fallen leaves, which made Gu Hanhan feel distracted and confused for a brief moment. , spinning with him unconsciously.
Helena stared in shock, then stood up angrily and left the palace on the spot. Fortunately, the bloody scene of "two women fighting for a husband, fighting each other" that Gu Hanhan was worried about was not directly staged. Helena did not have an attack on the spot, probably out of considerations of face and aristocratic instinct.
Gu Hanhan rotated along with David's guidance, as wonderful as walking on the clouds. She seemed to be possessed by an elf, as if she was being pulled by the God of Destiny, knowing where to stay without thinking. This is enough to prove that whether you can dance depends on your partner, she dances well in his chest. At the end of the song, they received warm applause.
Gu Hanhan stood next to David, his cheeks flushed and his heart pounding. She had never experienced such a scene before, and the dream was like falling into a fairy tale. And David held Gu Hanhan's hand and felt her clinging to his side, her heart beating wildly like a deer's. His heart was surging and he couldn't help himself. He almost couldn't help but want to take out the ring and ask Gu Hanhan. Formal proposal.
But finally he restrained his impulsive emotions, nodded slightly to greet everyone, then returned to his seat, leaving the center of the palace open to the guests. He put Gu Hanhan into the chair first, and then sat down next to her.
After Gu Hanhan's excitement subsided a little, he found that the chair Helena was sitting on was already empty. "Did you make the princess angry?" she asked.
"I didn't expect Helena to come today," David whispered to Gu Hanhan. "In order to avoid making her too angry and sad, I ordered the Heidi family to temporarily conceal the matter about her when the engagement was terminated, and Tried to stop her from attending today's banquet, but it looks like they couldn't stop her."
Gu Hanhan thought to himself: The crows in the world are as black as the crows. The feudal leaders are indeed unreasonable, even the five good young people are no exception. You have to hide Helena from telling her about the cancellation of the engagement, and you have to prevent her from coming to the banquet. How can such a beautiful thing in the world be possible? Even I heard at school that you might announce your engagement to her today. How is it possible for Helena to miss such a big day? ! Unless you cover her face and beat her so hard that she can't get out of bed...
"Is it so easy to be a good person?" Gu Hanhan spread his hands, "It seems that you have stimulated the princess even more."
David sighed softly: "Then I have to be a villain. After finally breaking off the agreement, we can't announce the engagement again just because she came to the banquet."
"I knew you should ask the princess to dance," Gu Hanhan said, "Maybe she wouldn't be so angry if you didn't ask me."
David shook his head: "If I danced the opening dance with her but didn't announce my engagement to her, Helena would only be angrier. So it's better to let her know once and for all."
Gu Hanhan was surprised: "What else can the opening dance have to do with the engagement?"
"Although there is no code stipulation, the superpower families in Acropolis usually choose to propose after the opening dance of the banquet. Because most engagements will never include a wedding, this probably implies the meaning of witnessing," David looked at Gu Hanhan said, "So if you don't propose after dancing or the proposal fails, you will be treated as a joke by the entire Acropolis."
Gu Hanhan remembered the heart-pounding moment just now, and was instantly horrified, and blurted out: "Then I have to be careful in the future. I can't go to anyone who invites me to dance!"
A bitter smile appeared in David's heart: Should he be glad that he didn't propose marriage at all costs just now, or should he regret it...
"Aren't you going to see Helena?" Gu Hanhan asked, "If you don't go to the princess quickly to admit your mistake, or the princess will kick you in anger and give you a one or two break, then you won't have a doctor." ”
——Although I can also treat you, you haven’t joined my team to create a harmonious, stable and healing relationship.
David came to his senses and laughed in surprise. "No," he said, "a contract is a contract, and a marriage contract is a marriage contract. There is nothing to be confused between the two. Helena will figure it out after she loses her temper."
Regarding Helena, he obviously has rich experience: "She is angry, and trying to comfort her now will only be counterproductive. It is better to wait for her to calm down. I will ask Philip to accompany her later, and he can always find a way to make her happy."
Gu Hanhan was speechless and thought to himself: Although you and Helena no longer have a relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, your contracted healer is so angry with you that you want your little friend to coax him. Why does this feel so wrong? ah!
After staying there for a while, Gu Hanhan couldn't sit still anymore, so he asked David quietly: "I've been sitting like this, can we move now?"
"Of course," David said, "Are you bored? I'll go for a walk with you." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to Gu Hanhan and held it for her.
Gu Hanhan didn't mean to go to the garden or talk about love in a dark corner with David. When he looked around, he found that as soon as David stood up, there were people crowded nearby and ready to socialize, so he hurriedly looked towards those people. The guest who was ready to move pointed his finger and said: "You should go about your business, I can just go and play by myself."
David didn't force it, he just told Gal: "You and the lady, find some other ladies to accompany her."
"No, no, no need to find someone to accompany me, I can just go shopping by myself." Gu Hanhan waved goodbye to David and said, "I have a fellow earthling who should have come to this banquet today, but just now It seems that I haven't seen him yet. I have to look for him. When I find him soon, I will bring him to you. You must see him."
