Chapter 1151 Dark Cinderella
The queen seemed really mad, and spoke these words without caring about anything. Everyone present heard it and looked at her in surprise.
But she didn't care about anything and stared at the king with resentment, "And you and An..."
"Someone, the queen is crazy, take her away!" The king's face turned pale. Fearing that she would expose her affair, he immediately had someone cover the queen's mouth and drag her out.
This time was different from the last time. The queen had no more scruples and kept struggling all the way.
Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were messy, making her look like a mad woman.
After she left, the people attending the ball gradually reacted and pretended nothing had happened and continued their conversation, fearing that they had done something wrong and the king would remember it and vent his anger on them.
After dealing with the queen, the king's mood did not improve. He frowned as he looked at Lorraine, who was calm and composed.
"Look carefully, and when you see the most beautiful girl, grab her immediately."
"Okay." Lorraine agreed nonchalantly, but his eyes kept lingering on Shi Li.
He couldn't go over there for now, but he could see everything she did.
Shi Li was only troubled for a while before she thought it over and stopped thinking about what the magic prince Lorraine was trying to do. Instead, she continued as she had done in the previous two days, taking a plate of small cakes and finding a quiet corner to enjoy them happily.
The desserts in the palace were much more delicious than those outside. She might not have the chance to eat them again after this time, so she had to hurry and eat a few more.
The sight of her eyes and mouth curling up in satisfaction after she swallowed a bite of cake made Lorraine feel itchy. She wanted to bring her to her side, touch her head or pinch her cheek, just like she usually did with the little sparrow.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by thunder.
The depressing atmosphere gradually spread to the party, making many people feel vaguely uneasy.
The door burst open, and the lightning outside the window struck everyone present.
Arthur, soaking wet, walked in holding a young girl.
The girl was wearing a dress that shone like stars. Her brilliant and gorgeous golden hair was wet by the rain, and water was dripping down as she walked, but it did not diminish her beauty at all.
The two men passed by her mother and Serin, and she looked at her mother deeply.
It was Cindy. She climbed out of the window of her house, climbed over the vine-covered wall, and ran here in the heavy rain.
"Father, I want..." Arthur, who also sneaked out, grabbed Cindy's hand and walked in front of the king, but was interrupted before he could speak.
"This must be a princess from a foreign country. Welcome to today's ball."
The king looked at Sandy and ignored Arthur, "I hope you have a good time tonight!"
Cindy was so breathless under the king's stare that she nervously let go of Arthur's hand and turned her head away, not daring to look him in the eye.
At the same time, the band's dance music and the thunder outside sounded together, covering up all other sounds.
No one heard the king whisper to Arthur: "If you want to continue to be a prince, shut up immediately."
Arthur's chest was heaving with anger, but he was also timid when facing the king and dared not utter a word.
"Well, the dance continues, remember to wear your masks."
The king was satisfied. He looked deeply at the people around him, then left with a smile.
No one could concentrate on dancing, but the king had spoken, and the party had to go on.
After putting on the mask, Arthur held Cindy's hand tightly and promised her: "I will definitely marry you!"
"I believe you, Your Highness." Cindy responded to him, but her eyes couldn't help but fall on Lorraine beside her.
She had already known his identity from the people around her. Now he was the only one in the room who was not wearing a mask. Everyone else was talking about the king's preference for Lorraine...
"Honey, what are you looking at?" Arthur interrupted her thoughts.
Sandy looked away and pretended nothing happened, "No, I didn't see anything."
In a moment of distraction, Lorraine had put on the mask and disappeared into the crowd, never to be found again.
Sandy lowered her head in disappointment.
"If you like, you can eat these cakes every day from now on."
Shi Li had almost finished eating and was looking at the colorful cakes on the dessert table with regret when she heard Lorraine's voice.
After taking a deep breath, Shi Li turned around and knelt down to greet Lorraine like everyone else.
"I'm really sorry, I don't know who you are."
Although she felt that their relationship was not that serious, Shi Li felt that she needed to be polite before figuring out Lorraine's attitude.
Lorraine frowned.
He never cared whether others saluted or not, but he couldn't stand seeing Shi Li being so reserved in front of him.
He still liked her when she was drunk.
Shi Li waited for a long time without waiting for Luo Lin to speak again. She looked up at him cautiously and felt a sense of seriousness.
My heart tightened and I subconsciously tried to find a topic to ease the atmosphere.
"So... do you like sparrows?"
It’s over, it’s over, Shi Li regretted it as soon as she said it.
