Chapter 468: Luoning's Happy Time

The next morning, Lulansi and Luoning stood at the manor entrance, watching from afar as a luxurious carriage, escorted by a team of Knights, stopped before them.

The maid accompanying the carriage pulled back the curtain, and Blanche jumped out; the moment she saw Luoning, a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.

"Welcome, Your Highness the Princess!"

Lulansi walked forward with a chuckle, speaking a respectful and polite welcome.

"Please do not stand on ceremony, Marquis Lulansi."

After the two had formally greeted each other, she blinked at Luoning.

Luoning extended his arm, and she took it naturally, leading her into the manor.

"I was quite surprised when the Knight came to report just now; logically, we should be the ones going to the Wangong to pay respects to His Majesty, and then I would come to find you. How is it that you have left the palace?"

"It is not very suitable to hold a birthday banquet recently, so my father had me leave the palace to find you and relax. At the same time, he asked me to tell you that he will receive you, the Valjisi Duchy, and a group of other nobles at Auduin Hall tomorrow morning."

Lulansi, standing to the side, nodded slightly; this was likely to discuss how to handle the matter of Yueguang Valley, which involved the royal family's rewards for Wushan Castle and Luoning personally.

"Since that is the case, Luoning and I will enter the palace tomorrow."

He looked at his grandson and granddaughter-in-law-to-be, a look of gratification appearing in his eyes; he had not expected that the initial twist of fate in discussing Luoning and Blanche's marriage with Bruno would end in such a perfect result.

"Luoning, you should take Her Highness the Princess out for a stroll; I will not accompany you."

Without an elder present, Luoning could clearly feel that Blanche was much more relaxed.

"Luoning, have you really become a Blazing Sun Knight?" Like Mixi, she asked the same question.

Luoning lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Not just a Blazing Sun Knight, but also a Great Magus."

Feeling the heat at her ear, Blanche's cheeks turned slightly red, and the light flickering in her slightly raised eyes was as bright as a fan seeing a star.

"The outside world is already worshipping you just for being a Blazing Sun Knight; if they knew you were also a Great Magus, my God, I don't know what kind of expressions they would have!"

Blanche exclaimed: "I heard you defeated Jialete that day and was worried he would deal with you. But looking at it now, I don't have to worry about you anymore!"

"Jialete should still be in Jinyu City, right?"

Luoning thought of this Crown Prince he had defeated, "How is he doing lately?"

Blanche shook her head; she paid little attention to this brother, and in the past, it was enough as long as he didn't cause her trouble.

"I heard a while ago that he was very depressed, drinking until drunk and getting drunk until drinking every day. In the last few days, because major nobles have come to pay their respects, he should be a bit better."

Jialete, who valued face and strength, had fallen from his pedestal, so he must be feeling very unhappy.

However, for now, the Crown Prince's unhappiness had not interfered with the decisions of His Majesty King Bruno.

Luoning took Blanche for a stroll around the manor for a while, then Luoning cast the Wind Shadow Art, taking her into the air and leaving the manor, preparing to visit several famous scenic spots in Jinyu City.

After all, today was Blanche's birthday, and Luoning had prepared a birthday gift.

He had already gifted Silk clothing and porcelain several times; this time, the gift he brought was a Magic Potion produced by Aierlong that could improve a Magician's cultivation.

Come to think of it, Aierlong did not understand this type of potion; the specific formula was provided by Suofeiya.

As a Highness of the City of Dawn and also a Level 8 Magus, Suofeiya not only possessed a great deal of Magic knowledge but also many methods for crafting Magic Potions, Magic Energy devices, and more.

When Bruno and Jialete refused to acknowledge Suofeiya's identification, it now seemed they were indeed too short-sighted; they had missed out on too many valuable things.

Happy times pass very quickly; in the afterglow of the sunset, the sea was like a flowing oil painting, blooming with endless charm.

Luoning held Blanche as they sat on the back of Kaierluosi, soaring over the boundless Screaming Sea.

The sunset, about to sink below the horizon, dyed the sky and the sea a warm orange-red; this scene looked very beautiful and also very spectacular.

Blanche had seen the sea and the sunset, but she had never seen such beautiful scenery in the air with the person she loved.

She couldn't help but look up, kissing Luoning on the cheek, and then collapsed into his arms.

Luoning then kissed her in turn, not stopping until the person in his arms felt as if she were about to melt.

Blanche's breathing was a bit heavy, her eyes full of tenderness, and she said softly: "Luoning, after today, I will be twenty-two."

Luoning thought she was saying she was too old, so he comforted her: "Twenty-two is exactly the most beautiful age for a woman."

Blanche laughed, "Thank you for the compliment, but what I wanted to say is that other women have already given birth to children in their teens, like my sister Xuelun, who gave birth to Aimi'er at eighteen."

She suddenly felt a bit shy, leaned in a little closer, and whispered: "I want to have a child for you."

Hearing this, Luoning couldn't help but be stunned for a moment; he had never considered the issue of having children.

Looking at the shy gaze of the person in his arms, his heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "Alright, but right here?"

"This..."

Blanche looked around; although there was no one in the air, Kaierluosi was a sentient being.

She turned bright red in a flash, "I meant after... after we are married."

At this moment, the surrounding water elements were suddenly mobilized, and Kaierluosi's huge ears and eyes were covered by ice.

At the same time, it transmitted its voice: "Master, rest assured; from now on, I cannot hear, I cannot see, and I know nothing."

Luoning couldn't help but laugh and pat Kaierluosi's back; this guy really knew a lot, and the content in its inherited memories was truly vast.

Although Blanche didn't know what Luoning and Kaierluosi were saying, she could guess a thing or two from Kaierluosi's actions, and she immediately felt her cheeks burning, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

After some playful banter, the previous ambiguous atmosphere was gone.

The two watched the sunset sink completely, and when night began to fall, they rode the dragon back to Jinyu City.

The next morning, Auduin Hall.

Lulansi and Luoning arrived early, but before them, Mailun from Screaming Island had arrived first.

"Haha, Lord Luoning, I didn't expect that when we met again, you would be the Blazing Sun Knight we look up to!"

There was no sign of anything unusual on Mailun's face, as if Partridge had not been sent by him.

Luoning did not expose him, but he only nodded politely without saying much more.

Subsequently, the Valjisi Duchy walked in quickly.

This gray-haired, weathered old man locked his gaze on Luoning the moment he entered; he walked up to Luoning, his eyes deep and very weary.

"Luoning, tell me, if my daughter is not dead, is there any way to turn her back into a normal person?"

Luoning shook his head slightly, "I am sorry, Your Grace, but once your daughter was transformed, she was already dead; what lives on is merely an alien that inherited your daughter's appearance and memories."

Waerjisi slowly closed his eyes, then walked to the side in desolation and sat down quietly.

He very much wanted to vent his anger on Luoning, but just as Lulansi had said yesterday, Dana's death had nothing to do with Wushan Castle or Luoning.

Soon, Duke Feilunsi and Duke Andreya appeared together; besides them, Buluoer and the various ministers also walked in, with Bruno following closely behind.

Luoning saw Jialete, and the other's gaze also rested upon him.

Although Blanche said that her brother's condition had improved slightly of late, Luoning still sensed a hint of fatigue from him, lacking some of his usual high spirits and arrogance.

Luoning nodded at him quite politely, which counted as a greeting.

Bruno first greeted the various nobles, among whom he specifically praised Luoning's strength, expressing his approval.

Only then did he walk slowly to the throne and sit down.

"I have summoned you all here today mainly to discuss the matter of Yueguang Valley."

He looked grief-stricken: "It is hard to believe that my brother, Hesusu Aoduin, such a healthy and ambitious person, would actually be tortured to death by aliens!" (End of chapter)
