Frilian: The Adventure of the Hero

Chapter 148 I am your fiancé (Seeking monthly votes~)

Xia En stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself in a gorgeous tuxedo.

My sluggish brain finally started working again.

"Who did you just say I was?"

Zain leaned lazily against the wall next to him, arms crossed, completely lacking the elegance he had shown when he woke Shane up.

He looked Xia En up and down, then smiled and praised him.

"Tsk, no wonder the boss's wife always stares at you. You're already handsome enough normally, but you look even more handsome in this outfit."

Xia En was speechless.

"When a grown man like you praises me like this, it always makes me feel like there's something fishy about me."

""

Zain laughed heartily, put his arm around Shane's neck, and led her to the corridor outside the room, explaining as they walked.

"Now I'm your butler. How was it? Was my imitation of Grandpa Gabel accurate?"

'

Xia En was speechless.

"Then please answer my question, Master Butler. Thank you."

"Don't rush."

"I had already met with Philenail and the others before you woke up."

"As we just confirmed, it's now the [Memorial Day]. Similar to yesterday, we are still [City Residents], but this time, each of us has a corresponding identity."

Just then.

A group of maids passed by ahead, and Zain quickly put his hands down and consciously walked behind Shane, slightly behind, maintaining proper etiquette.

After the maid left, he returned to Xia En's side.

He whispered, "Frilian is now the Princess of Rivendell, and you are her fiancé. Today is your engagement day."

One sentence was enough to leave Xia Enzhen speechless.

"There's too much information here—please break it down."

"?"

Praise is due to doubt.

Xia En sighed helplessly, "Fine, go on."

Zain continued, "I am your steward, as you already know. Philon and Ellu, now [Princess Frilian]..."

The female official.

"We haven't found the others yet."

"Oh no, Shutark has been found, and he's in jail now."

"what?"

"You heard right, he's been locked up in jail."

Why?

"Because I trespassed into your bedroom."

'

'

"Otherwise, why would I pretend to be a 'butler'?" Zain sighed. "Shutalk's identity is that of a knight commander, and he should be guarding the terrace right now. But he just broke into your bedroom with a sword, was discovered, and was locked up as a 'villain who opposes the engagement'."

Shaen silently processed Zain's words.

"So—our task today is [role-playing]?"

"Role-playing?" Zain stroked his chin. "It seems so."

Xia En fell into deep thought.

The operating logic of this city has changed.

Unlike before when the sorceress Minus ruled Rivendell, it is now the elven princess and her fiancé who are leading Rivendell.

Is there any connection between the two?

Xia En couldn't help but wonder.

What kind of special game is the person behind the scenes playing?

The two walked along the corridor and looked out the window. They saw that a number of people had already begun to gather under the tower terrace.

People brought their families, carrying small stools and snacks; they didn't look like they were there to receive the "blessing of the elves," but rather like they were there to watch the show and have some fun.

On this side of the terrace, a row of flower baskets filled with golden leaves is ready.

A little flower girl is counting on her fingers.

Zain clicked his tongue twice.

After walking down the long corridor, the two arrived at a room with an ornately decorated door.

This is Frilian's residence.

Xia En raised his hand to push the door open, but Zan stopped him with quick reflexes.

Then, Zain coughed lightly, raised his hand with great poise, knocked three times gently on the door, and then took a few steps back to stand behind Shane.

Xia En raised an eyebrow.

Ok.

It must be said that Zain's etiquette is truly on par with that of a real nobleman.

A moment later, the door slowly opened.

Philon and Elle stood on either side of the door, nodding slightly and gesturing for them to enter.

Xia En stepped in.

The entire room was covered with a luxurious gold carpet. Xia En glanced at it discreetly and noticed that the pattern on the carpet was a [Golden Tree].

Frilian was standing in front of a full-length mirror, waiting for her maid to adjust her skirt.

Hearing Xia En's footsteps, the elven girl turned her head slightly.

The two looked at each other.

Xia En unconsciously stopped in his tracks.

Frillie wore a white brocade dress and a lace veil, looking like a white butterfly.

Beautiful, vibrant, and captivating.

Shaun recalled the aristocratic etiquette he had learned from Lord Alden.

He walked up to the girl, smiled, and bowed in a gentlemanly manner.

"Good morning, Your Highness, I am your fiancé."

Frilian looked at Shane.

Listening to his teasing, there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"It's not time to meet yet."

"To see you, I naturally need to come early."

"————"

Frillie turned her head away, ignoring Shane, and continued to have the maid tidy her clothes.

Xia En touched his nose. Well, it was too oily; he wasn't used to it either.

He then pulled out a stool next to him, sat down beside Frillie, and waited quietly.

He rested his chin on his hand, smiling gently as he looked at the girl in front of him.

Frillie didn't react much in his own light.

The maids around them blushed, and their movements as they adjusted their skirts became somewhat unnatural.

Even some of the maids were visibly flustered and stole glances at Xia En.

Xia En was completely unaware.

His eyes were only on Frillie.

for a long time.

The maids tidied up Frilian's skirt and wrapped a circle of golden leaves around the hem before leaving in single file.

Only when Philen and Ellu closed the door did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

The group huddled together to discuss countermeasures.

"Zane has already told me the basic situation. My advice is to follow the plot."

"Just like performing in a stage play, if an actor acts on their own before the script is finished, they will definitely be kicked off the stage by the director. Shutark has already proven this."

"So we'd better follow the script and wait for the person behind the scenes to show up. Otherwise, we won't know where we are when we wake up next time."

After Shane finished speaking, Frillie frowned.

Are you sure the person behind this will definitely slip up?

"Believe me, no director will miss out on their masterpiece."

Everyone nodded.

According to the schedule provided by the maids, Shane and Frillie's schedule for today is very full:

In the morning, we need to distribute golden leaves to the residents in front of the terrace as a blessing.

In the afternoon, they will need to accept engagement gifts from the public and respond to their requests.

In the evening, one must attend the balls of the nobles.

A short while later, a message came back from the terrace.

Everything is ready.

Shane and Frilian climbed onto the terrace one after the other and stood side by side.

Unlike the few scattered people we had just seen, the terrace was now packed with people.

People of all ages eagerly awaited the arrival of the event.

A white-bearded monk was reciting a blessing hymn nearby.

The rhythmic cadence of the sentences, imbued with the lingering magic of the goddess, gradually calmed Xia En's somewhat restless heart.

A moment later, the flower girl brought a bamboo basket filled with golden leaves to Shane and Frilian. The two of them picked up the leaves from the basket and scattered them onto the terrace below, amidst the chanting of the monks.

Golden leaves, fluttering in the breeze, fell into the crowd.

People closed their eyes devoutly and clasped their hands together on their foreheads.

Bathed in the blessing from the golden tree.

Whether it was Xia En's imagination or not, when he scattered the leaves, he saw the golden leaves shimmering in the sunlight.

He looked up at the sun in the sky, squinting, trying hard to see clearly whether it was the real sun or not.

Unfortunately, the light was too intense.

After the blessing ceremony concluded.

The group returned to the tower, where Philon and Elle led the two to the reception room, where they sat in the main seats, awaiting the arrival of the people.

Only then did Shane finally see [Falshu] and [Lairen], who had been nowhere to be seen.

The two are currently city officials of Rivendell.

After bowing respectfully, the two stood on either side of Shane and Frillie.

Shaen wanted to ask Falshu if it was possible to rescue Shutark.

But surrounded by maids and guards, he could not do anything unusual, so he could only signal with his eyes, hoping that Falshu would notice.

Falshu received a signal from Shane's eyes.

But Xia En's eyes were twitching so violently that he really didn't understand what it meant.

He could only cough lightly, signaling Xia En to calm down.

Outside the tower, a row of monks began to cast a [dispelling spell].

As a pale green light enveloped the entire tower, a spiral staircase suddenly appeared on the exterior of the tower, which had previously had no entrance. People below the terrace began to line up one by one, ascending the spiral staircase to the top of the tower.

Xia En saw all sorts of gifts.

I also heard all sorts of wishes.

An old woman brought a basket of eggs from her hen and asked Rivendell for permission to raise roosters.

Shaen asked Falsh, who was standing next to him.

Falshuu opened the book in his hand and found a city regulation that prohibited the keeping of roosters in the city for fear of disturbing the residents.

Xia En persuaded the old woman that if she didn't mind, she could move to the outermost part of the city, and the city hall could grant her special permission to raise one or two roosters.

The old lady was very happy and immediately decided to move.

A child presented the child with two grass ants he had made himself, requesting that he not have to attend magic classes at the [Sanctuary] for a whole year.

Shane refused firmly and instead instructed the city hall to send the child a complete set of magic books.

The child was so moved that he burst into tears.

Some pregnant women also came to present sword tassels and fan pendants that they had made themselves, hoping that Shane and Frilian would name the child in their wombs.

The two carefully inquired about the baby's gender, due date, and the parents' surnames, given names, preferences, and wishes. After combining all the information and discussing it with Falshu and Laiern for a while, they decided to name the baby "Good Luck".

The pregnant woman was very satisfied.

Time passed by slowly.

Night fell in the blink of an eye.

Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, Shane and Frillie finally finished dealing with all the requests from the people who wanted to see them and arrived at the banquet hall.

While waiting outside the banquet hall, Frillie was already feeling drowsy.

Xia En took a step closer to her, turned her swaying head towards him, and leaned it against his body.

The surrounding maids lowered their heads consciously.

Looking at the exhausted Frillie, Shane suddenly had the illusion that he was actually getting married.

This feeling of being busy from morning till night, without even being able to eat a proper meal, is just too real.

Ding ding ding—

The sound of silver spoons tapping against wine glasses could be heard from the banquet hall.

Shaun gently woke Frillie, took the girl's hand in his arm, and led the dazed Frillie slowly into the hall.

The guests, lined up on both sides of the red carpet, smiled and applauded.

Flower girls on the red carpet, carrying flower baskets, scattered golden leaves in front of the couple.

The two ascended to the throne amidst blessings and praise.

Lylene stood to the right front of the couple, reciting their engagement vows, as if all the beauty in the world belonged to the newlyweds at that moment.

Everyone was immersed in the wonderful atmosphere.

Only Xia En looked up and glanced at the balcony connected to the banquet hall.

Falshuu silently retreated to the edge of the crowd and walked to the balcony.

The night grew deeper.

Outside the window, the golden tree's light receded to the treetops once more, and was about to go out.

Beside her, Frilian tugged at Shane.

Xia En turned to the side and lowered his head slightly.

Frillie lowered her voice, "We still haven't found anything wrong. Do we have to start all over again?"

Xia En patted her hand that was linked with his, "Don't worry. I have a strong feeling that the person behind the scenes is about to make their move."

""

"Did luck tell you that again?"

Xia En chuckled softly, "My lady truly understands me."

Frilian sighed and fell silent.

(Three people ≡)

After reading the lengthy marriage vows, Lylene announced the official start of the ball.

"Now, the soon-to-be newlyweds will lead the dance for everyone."

Frillie was startled.

Is this detail included in the process arrangement?

Shane gave Frillie a reassuring look, and soft music began to play.

Xia En, holding the elven girl's hand, gracefully walked to the center of the dance floor. The men and women around them, hand in hand, smiled and waited for the two to begin their dance.

result.

Before long, their smiles froze on their faces.

In the dance floor, Shane held Frilian's hand and circled the floor again and again.

The originally gentle music finally went off-beat as the two circled the field eight times.

Philon and Elle awkwardly retreated into the crowd.

Zain also subtly moved a little further away.

However, Frillie, who was on the dance floor, suddenly understood Shane's intention.

Outside the window, the golden tree was still bathed in the last rays of sunlight.

There's only a short time left until the grand finale of this stage play, "Engagement."

However, Shane's behavior was like a stuck cassette tape. It kept repeating itself, unable to sing the last line.

It's so frustrating!

Suddenly, the flower girl who had been standing to one side of the stage picked up a handful of golden leaves from her flower basket and threw them high into the dance floor.

A familiar, distant chime rang out in the city.

The music at the ball suddenly got louder.

Like puppets guided by magical threads, Shane and Frillie consciously assumed their positions and began to dance gracefully to the music.

Xia En smiled.

That's exactly what's going on.

Frilian's expression changed as her magical senses detected the target.
