"So where's Lorenzo? I thought he'd be here."
Yawei stood in a corner of the magnificent hall, where all the glory and brilliance were. As the orchestra sang slowly and softly, a warm and solemn power enveloped the place.
Arthur... or rather Duke Phoenix shook his head.
"We have temporarily isolated him. Although I have faith in demon hunters,... coming back to life is still too strange and far beyond our understanding. Both us and Lorenzo need a process of acceptance."
"The process of acceptance? I've heard about that too. In fact, with Lorenzo's bad personality, he probably didn't have any psychological reaction of rejection."
Yawei said.
Duke Phoenix glanced at the old butler, and seemed to have not expected that he was so familiar with Lorenzo, at least familiar with his bad character.
"Yeah, he earned a life for free. This psychopath must be living a happier life than before."
Duke Phoenix sighed, looking towards the center of the hall. Warm light was shining down, and the girls looked sacred and ethereal under the light. Maybe the heavens loved this moment, and even the gloomy sky seemed to be a little clearer.
"Seleu really wanted him to come and witness everything. Although she didn't say it, she really thought so... This is a girl who likes to keep all her thoughts in her heart."
Yawei looked at the figure walking on the red carpet. Under everyone's attention, she walked farther and farther away. The woman on the endless steps smiled at her and then stretched out her hand.
This is the sacred and solemn Platinum Palace, the power center of the entire Old Dunling and even the entire Inglvig.
Today, an ancient ceremony will be held here. This is the moment when the Duke of Stuart takes over power. With the Queen's grant, Seleu will truly inherit this century-old glory today and become the youngest female duchess.
"Is that so?" Duke Phoenix sighed, "In fact, there is one thing I have been unable to understand, but now I understand it."
"What's up?"
"About how Eve differs from her."
Yawei was stunned, his eyes looked a little strange, as if he didn't understand why he said that.
"You may not know that when that bastard Lorenzo wanted to chop my daughter, he didn't hesitate at all. But when it came to Seryu, he took Lawrence with him to self-destruct... In fact, the plan was far from that."
He spoke slowly.
"But now it seems that we are just overthinking them. Apart from their different identities, they are just ordinary people."
Ordinary man? It’s hard to think of Lorenzo as an ordinary man.
"Think about it, Yawei, a girl, at the darkest age when her mind was the most ignorant... That was when her emotions were the most intense and pure, and someone pulled her out of the suffocating ocean, took her to the world of light, and taught her all kinds of strange things along the way. Anyone would have some strange feelings, perhaps longing, perhaps admiration..."
Duke Phoenix chuckled when he said this. It was such a weird plot, but life was really like that, just like the only shooting star in the darkness, so you chased the falling star like a fool, because it was the only light in the darkness.
