    Chapter 59 Elopement

    Since leaving the position of Speaker of the Northern Alliance, Catherine's mansion has become much deserted, and even she herself is reluctant to go out.  However, that night, as the news of Cruise and Christine's engagement spread, the formerly deserted mansion was brightly lit again, gathering hundreds of nobles with their own plans.

    ?Obviously, such a trendy scene is naturally because of Cruise.  Even though he has been expelled from Kasyapa, according to the news circulating in the noble circles, His Highness still has hidden power in Kasyapa, and he himself is also a hidden and powerful man.  So, who can be sure that he has no chance of turning over?  Since Catherine is willing to marry off her daughter to gamble, it is normal for the nobles to lower their arrogance and exchange a few words.

    So at this moment, when seeing Cruise surrounded by a group of nobles in the center, there is nothing surprising.  In fact, His Highness was impeccable in conversation and demeanor, and was even better than the legend said.  Unknowingly, many nobles began to be impressed by Cruz, and vaguely felt that a figure like this was the king truly suitable to rule the Kasyapa Empire.

    Regrettably, although the male protagonist has already appeared on stage, Miss Christine, known as the most beautiful woman in the Northern Alliance, did not attend the banquet due to the occasional cold.  Of course, this does not affect the high spirits of the guests, because political marriage is just like that. As long as you can achieve cooperation in terms of interests, it will be the same even if you marry the air.

    "Everyone, please bless this happy couple. How about we finish this glass of wine together?" A Duke raised his glass wisely and put his hand on Cruz's shoulder with a smile.  Dozens of nobles surrounding him nodded and raised the wine glasses in their hands.  Cruise still maintained an elegant demeanor, but he calmly shook off the palm on his shoulder, with a hint of disgust and disdain in his eyes.

    However, at the moment when the wine glasses clinked and made a soft sound, the closed wooden door of the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open heavily.  Surrounded by Winter and dozens of guards, Speaker Reid strode in with a solemn expression, his expression as serious as winter.  The moment they saw him, Cruise, Catherine, and Rhine couldn't help but look at each other and took a few steps forward at the same time.

    "Speaker Reid, why did you come to my place?" Putting down the wine glass as if nothing had happened, Catherine faced Reid who was gradually stopping.  She didn't seem to see the unkindness in the other person's expression, and still joked with a smile: "Okay, I admit that I forgot to invite you, but do you plan to come to investigate for this reason?"

    "Sorry, I'm afraid I have to interrupt your banquet." Reid still had a tense face, raised his finger and pointed at the expressionless Cruz, and said calmly: "Half an hour ago, the parliament just passed a resolution.  It was decided to urgently stop the engagement ceremony of Mr. Cruise and Miss Christine. Regarding this, I know you will be very angry, but this is a unanimous decision of the Parliament!¡±

    Following his words, a low buzz suddenly sounded in the crowd, and the eyes of the nobles looking at Cruz suddenly became a little different.  Catherine's expression changed slightly, but she asked calmly: "So that's the case, then can I know the reason for the parliament's objection?"

    "Do I need to say more about this? I think you should know it very well." Reid coughed lightly, turned his head and slowly scanned every noble present and said: "Just two days ago, the Kasyapa Empire just  The arrival of an envoy to express the willingness to peacefully coexist with the Northern Alliance is something that has rarely happened in the past. So everyone, who wants to see a war, especially in today's rare peace situation?"

    This time, the buzz in the crowd became even louder.  For these nobles who like a comfortable life, it is of course much better to enjoy peace than war, but the Kasyapa Empire has always had the ambition to annex the mainland.  Therefore, the Northern Alliance was forced to prepare for war at any time.  But now, since the Kasyapa Empire suddenly proposed the idea of ??peaceful coexistence, how could the Northern Alliance understand and refuse, and sacrificing a mere exiled prince for this was even a trivial matter.

    "Really? What if I refuse?" Amidst the noise, Catherine suddenly looked back at Cruise and said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, there is no law that stipulates that we cannot marry our daughter to someone else. Is it true?  Says Parliament just enacted new regulations?¡±

    "Of course the law does not stipulate that you cannot marry your daughter, but the law stipulates that a married woman has her own wishes." Before Red could speak, Winter, who was following him, immediately responded and smiled, "Mrs. Catherine, I heard you.  There are some rumors that Miss Christine is not willing to marry His Highness Cruise, is this true?"

    "Of course not, how could you have such an idea?" Catherine changed color slightly, then immediately calmed down.Tao.  Winter coughed lightly and shrugged unnecessarily: "Yeah, I don't believe this rumor either, but in order to reassure everyone, do you think we should let Christine meet with us?"

    "I'm sorry, Christine has a cold, and I don't want the cold to be passed on to you." Catherine refused his request, her eyes gradually becoming stern.  Winter met her gaze and said slowly without giving up: "It doesn't matter, I'm not worried about being infected. And it's just a little cold. I think Miss Christine will be happy to see me, because I care about her."  Brought good news.¡±

    "Well, if I insist on disagreeing" Catherine narrowed her eyes slightly, and her gaze suddenly became as sharp as a sword. Even though Winter was mentally prepared, he still took a few steps back under this mental pressure.  .  For a moment, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and the entire banquet hall suddenly became silent.  So in this weird silence, no one noticed that a waiter was carrying a dinner plate up the stairs and quickly disappeared at the entrance to the second floor.

    Whistling as if nothing had happened, the young waiter walked leisurely carrying the dinner plate and successfully arrived at Christine's room.  Two guards were guarding here. When they saw the attendant approaching, they immediately held the hilt of the sword. At the same time, they took a step and shouted: "Stop, no one is allowed to approach here. You'd better go back immediately."

    "Don't be so nervous. I'm just here to deliver dinner on Madam's order." The attendant shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened, and approached the guard and whispered: "You also know that the lady has not eaten anything since morning. Do you want to  Is she too hungry to have the strength to get married?¡±

    "Madam's order, why were we not notified in advance?" Because the attendant told the details that Christine had not eaten, the two guards were slightly less vigilant.  The waiter sighed softly and opened the lid of the dinner plate: "I said, do you need to notify us before eating? If you don't believe it, just take a look for yourself, this roasted suckling pig  Does it look like an assassin?"

    "Roast suckling pig?" Hearing the attendant's words, the two guards instinctively looked down.  In front of them, a pink piglet was lying flat on a dinner plate, covered with delicious jam.  Seeing such delicious food, the two guards couldn't help but move their fingers and swallowed at the same time.  But the next moment, a guard suddenly scratched his head and said hesitantly: "Wait a minute, why do I feel something is wrong? Roast suckling pig should be roasted"

    With a soft bang, the roast suckling pig lying on the dinner plate suddenly swung its front hooves and hit the two guards on the forehead hard.  The next moment, gray medicinal powder spurted out from its mouth, directly filling the space within a two-meter radius.  Before they even had time to draw their swords, the two guards had already covered their foreheads and fell to the ground under the coma effect of the powder.

    Nodding with satisfaction, the attendant immediately supported the two guards to prevent them from making loud noises.  The lively roasted suckling pig hurriedly pulled a piece of tablecloth and wiped the jam clean off his body: "Listen An, if it wasn't to save Miss Christine, you wouldn't want me to play the role of roasted suckling pig.  This is an insult to a dragon."

    ¡°I know, I¡¯ll let you play the role of steamed suckling pig next time!¡± The attendant patted its head gently, removing the illusion disguise.  After reflecting on the bright mirror of the dinner plate, An Ruoran slowly put her hand on the door handle until she was sure that her image was still intact, and said with a smile: "Okay, then it's time to see Christine!"

    Immediately afterwards, he gently opened the door and looked at the lonely beauty sitting at the table.  After seeing the figure of the person coming in, Kristine couldn't help but stood up in disbelief. Her tightly frowned brows gradually relaxed, but soon turned into surprise.  After a few seconds, she suddenly covered her mouth and let out a soft cry, ran quickly with tears in her eyes, and threw herself directly into An Ruoran's arms.

    "An, I told you that I would definitely come to snatch the bride. Didn't you arrive as promised?" An Ruoran gently held up the moist cheek, kissed her forehead gently, and said with a smile: "  Time is limited, let¡¯s talk about this slowly when we get to the floating city. Well, I don¡¯t want to leave a note to Cruise and Rhine, thank them for taking care of you these past few days.¡±

    "No need, just say it in person!" Before Christine could smile, a cold voice came from outside the door.  An Ruoran turned his head and looked in astonishment. In the swaying air ripples, Rhine was walking towards him with his arms folded as if nothing had happened. Black daffodils were condensing and forming above his head, slowly extending to the entire room, and invisible pressure was also coming at this moment.  Cracks have begun to appear on the surrounding walls
