"Father, do you mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back?"
The blond girl looked at the middle-aged aristocratic man opposite in surprise, then looked around nervously as if realizing something, and asked in a low voice, "Is this news for sure? Didn't I hear about the Third Prince's mistake a while ago?" Judgment, leading to the defeat of His Royal Highness Zelos at the hands of the Great Priest of the Demon Race, it has been more or less ominous... "
Their conversation was very soft, but Luya's body had been strengthened by dragon's blood. After she concentrated, the conversation between Liana and the person opposite her became clearer.
"It is confirmed to be true, but this matter has not been announced yet, but I heard a news. His Majesty the Emperor, because the third prince Zhu Jia is dead, the second prince is mediocre and incompetent, and he almost lost the crown prince, so he decided to start on the 5th of next month. A social ball is held every week, and all the daughters of the nobles are invited to participate, and the concubine is selected for His Royal Highness Zelos... "
"Does that mean that I can participate too?" Liana was a little excited when she heard this, and there was a hint of greed in her eyes.
"The duke's daughter is always recommended first, but because His Royal Highness Zelos is indifferent by nature and not close to women, His Majesty the Emperor intends to give all the nobles a chance, even the viscount's daughter has been invited to the ball... Luna, are you My daughter of the Derek family, I will respect your choice, if you don't want to go to the prom, I will not force you, your mother and I only hope that you can live the life you like."
"No, I am willing, my lord father."
Liana's eyes sparkled, she said very excitedly and confidently, "That's exactly what I want, I will definitely bring glory to the family, please believe me..."
"Just do what you want," Earl Derek said.
…
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Ya felt a little nauseous. This Bichi is really ambitious and growing. It’s like a fake to climb from the slums to this step. If you are lucky, you may really be able to become a princess in the end. maybe...
Why is she, a real time-traveling girl, so unlucky!
But the only consolation for Luya is that she got a dragon.
Her Farus is much better than these humans. If she was asked to choose between a rich and handsome man and a red dragon, she would choose the red dragon without hesitation.
A revenge plan gradually took shape in her mind. After all, ruining Liana's reputation is her second most important main task now.
Although she really wanted to blow that hypocritical Bichi's dog head right now, she was not such a person who didn't care about the overall situation. She pretended to know nothing and endured it, and waited with Luoding until the restaurant owner appeared.
Not long after the manager informed, Liana and her adoptive father finished their meal, and as the last table guests in the restaurant, they called the waiter to check out.
"Father, I have seriously considered the things you said, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best!"
Liana was circling happily like a bird, her fluttering skirt swung into a huge arc, she didn't look like the vicious and vicious girl in the orphanage at all, now she was very radiant .
Lodin didn't know Liana's true face, seeing this extremely lively girl, he couldn't help but smile amicably.
"You are a very sweet, beautiful girl."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Liana seemed to have gotten used to the eyes of others, she smiled coquettishly at Lodin and Matthew. It's just that Matthew looked very dull, and he didn't respond to Liana, which made the proud blonde girl a little unhappy.
Liana loves to be courted by everyone, and from an early age she was ambitious. If anyone doesn't like her, she will take revenge on that person in every possible way, and everyone must love her and respect her.
The enigmatic man she met on the airship when she was heading to the imperial capital told her that as long as she wanted, she could get everything she wanted.
She agreed to the other party's request without hesitation. What are those costs compared to what she can get
She made a deal with that man, and he gave her a lot of tips, told her the hidden secrets of Earl Derek's family, and then gave her a personal token belonging to the daughter of the Earl's family. As long as you have this thing, you can gain the trust of Countess Derek. The man guides Liana how to occupy the magpie's nest, and then reminds her to always remember the deal between them.
Later, for some unknown reason, Liana still wanted to find the other party to confirm the details, but she never found the other party on the airship. She confirmed the information of each passenger, but the mysterious man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no one had seen him except her, which was very strange.
Although she had doubts in her heart, she was only thinking about becoming the daughter of a nobleman, and she didn't care what happened to that man.
After she came to the imperial capital, she followed what the man taught her step by step, and the whole journey went as smoothly as if she was hanging out.
First, he successfully deceived the countess into believing that she was the countess who had died long ago and was fostered in the countryside. Then he managed to please the Earl himself who loved his wife deeply and couldn't bear to tell the truth. Earl Derek decided to adopt Liana as his own daughter, and she easily gained the trust of their family. In the end, the annoying housekeeper's son, that lowly servant, wanted to report on her. How could she let him succeed? What a dead end!
She acted preemptively, crying to the countess who believed she was her daughter.
Although the steward's son and his father are deeply trusted by the Earl and Countess, nothing is more important to the Countess than a lost and found daughter.
The Countess refused to accept the truth told to her by the butler's son. She scolded him for being uneasy and kind, and frantically drove the butler who had served Earl Derek's family for generations out of the house. She testified in the tribunal that his son was lying, and sent the steward's son to prison for framing the nobles.
Afterwards, the old butler hanged himself in order to preserve their family’s reputation. Before he died, he left a suicide note and swore that he would never betray the Derek family. The letters addressed to the count himself were thrown into the fireplace and burned. All who knew the truth were buried, and she easily dealt with any threat that stood in her way.
Now that the crown prince of the empire is back, she is not qualified to enter into a marriage contract with the crown prince as she was the daughter of the earl. The two daughters of the Duke of Barendfa have always been the first candidates for the imperial concubine.
Now this is really an opportunity created by God for her. Look, her beauty is unrivaled, and now she has a noble status. She will definitely succeed in becoming the future imperial concubine of the empire. Standing at the top of power, no one will not Love her!
However, this ignorant civilian really doesn't know what to do.
Liana glanced at Matthew, who had no reaction to her, and felt disgusted in her heart.
The woman with a big belly next to her must be his wife. These people exude a poor smell, and they are probably from the poor streets. Really should ask this restaurant to refuse to allow such civilians to enter, lowering the grade.
But now that she is a nobleman with status, she naturally cannot be seen like a commoner. She glanced at Matthew and the others contemptuously, snorted disdainfully, and was about to leave with Earl Derek when she suddenly noticed the face of the girl with a big belly, which seemed familiar.
Had she seen this woman somewhere
Liana always felt that she had an impression of this face, but she couldn't remember it all at once. She couldn't help but look at the woman twice more. After finding her gaze, the pregnant woman suddenly raised her head, stared into her eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
"..."
What an uneducated commoner, is this the attitude of speaking to nobles
She felt irritable, and really wanted to slap this impolite woman directly, but since Earl Derek was by her side, she acted in front of the earl as an obedient and well-behaved girl. Liana told herself not to be as knowledgeable as that kind of vulgar person, so she snorted softly with a face of disdain, and turned her head away proudly.
"fine."
Strange, that voice is quite familiar, have you ever seen this person before
For some reason, this woman always gave Liana a familiar unpleasant feeling. While Liana was still wondering what was going on with this strange feeling, her father had already signed the bill.
"Get ready to go, Luna."
Earl Derek glanced at the three people sitting in the shop. He was a real gentleman, nodded politely to Lodin, and then gave Liana his arm.
"Ah, yes, my lord father."
Liana immediately stepped forward to hold Earl Derek's arm, hopped up and down like a bunny, and walked out of the restaurant with Earl Derek affectionately.
"so good… "
Looking at the backs of the father and daughter leaving, Luodin couldn't help sighing with emotion, but at this moment Luya punched him.
"What a fart! She is the bitch who killed the brother in the energy plant!" Lu Ya said angrily.
"What? Is it her? Is this too coincidental?" Luodin was startled, he clutched the arm that was hammered by Luya, it really hurt...
"Yes, it's her. I won't admit it even if it's burned to ashes."
Luya pinched her stomach and stared at Liana who got into the limousine. The piglet hiding in the maternity clothes hurt all over from being pinched by her, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and couldn't help twisting twice to remind Luya not to pinch him, causing Luya's stomach to shake like a wave. The owner of the restaurant who handed over the manager from the lounge was taken aback.
"This, what is this..."
The owner of the restaurant was an old man with a gray beard and a well-tailored tuxedo suit. The moment he appeared, Lodin stood up from his chair. After their eyes met, they were almost stunned at the same time.
Only a few steps away, they looked at each other with mixed feelings, as if a century had passed.
"Old man... is that you?!"
The old man couldn't believe it, and walked slowly in front of Luodin.
"I... am I dreaming?"
"Who else but me, you old bastard, you haven't changed at all until now!"
Luo Ding went up to greet them, and the two old men who were over half a century old burst into tears instantly. They hugged each other tightly, crying so hard.
