Chapter 239
"what happened?"
Hearing Dalton's voice, Shen Yinyin was so scared that she quickly hid the hair in her hand.
"No, nothing..."
Locke is a Zerg. Even if she doesn't care about his identity, I'm afraid that everyone who survived the war would not accept Locke's existence.
Dalton, dressed in a neat suit, supported the door frame with one hand. He had a slender figure and a noble temperament.
He wore a pair of thin-framed glasses with a silver chain on his nose. The thin silver chain, which was shining with a cold light, fell on his fair collarbone skin and dark purple long hair, making him look both gentle and sexy.
"Do you need help?"
Shen Yinyin looked at the overly handsome Dalton and was in a trance for a few seconds. When she came to her senses, the tips of her ears felt slightly hot and she quickly shook her head.
"no need."
Dalton saw that the little guy was fascinated by him, and his rosy thin lips curved up.
He knocked on the door frame with his slender fingers, his eyes smiling: "I have fixed the door. I will stay here. Don't worry, you can change your clothes. If you need anything, call me at any time."
Shen Yinyin looked at Dalton, who was rarely honest, and inexplicably remembered what Louis said last night, "He will be honest if he doesn't see you for a night."
Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, Shen Yinyin simply put on some light makeup.
Although this was the first time she, as a female, was invited to a court dinner, she did not dress too luxuriously.
The empire had just experienced a tragic and failed war. All the people she cared about were injured, and countless sacrificed souls and their families had not yet been settled.
Since this dinner was held by the Queen to commemorate the deceased, it was naturally better to be simple and elegant.
When Shen Yinyin came out of the room, Duke Lebert, Dalton, Louis, and Troy were all standing at the door in suits, waiting for her patiently.
Troy on the left has his long white hair tied up high, looking cool and elegant, and his black suit outlines his tall and perfect figure.
Next to him, Louis was dazzlingly blond, dignified, elegant, and handsome beyond compare.
And Duke Leibert, who was in the center, had a powerful aura, cold brows, and a handsome face with clear three-dimensional features, like a god. His deep blue eyes looked at her gently and he stretched out his hand to her.
On his bony fingers, the vintage ruby ring, a symbol of status, was still luxurious and noble.
Shen Yinyin raised her hand, and the moment it was held in the other party's broad palm, the ruby rings on her slender white fingers touched the ring on Duke Robert's hand.
When Duke Lebert led Shen Yinyin downstairs, Winter, Norton Noel, Sally, Ivan, Grayson and Yuri, who were waiting in the hall, heard the footsteps and raised their heads at the same time.
On the stairs, the beautiful girl was holding the hand of Duke Lebert, and behind her were the three handsome men who were closest to her.
They crowded around her at close range.
When she lowered her eyes to look over, their gazes were as passionate as those of the men behind her.
They stood in a low position, as if praying to the gods they loved, and walked towards them step by step...
At the same time, at the palace dinner, a figure was sitting lazily and wantonly in a dark corner where no one noticed.
He was wearing a mask, his long legs crossed, his fingers tapping the rim of the wine glass out of boredom, the half of his face under the mask had superior lines.
Asus knew that the little guy would definitely appear here tonight, so he came early to wait.
And he was not the only one who had this idea.
Asius stared at a low-key waiter who was walking among the guests at the dinner party, his thin lips curled up with a playful smile.
Feeling Asius's sharp gaze, the waiter raised his head, and his cold red eyes, across the light and shadow and the crowd, collided with Asius's gaze.
With just one glance, Locke and Asus recognized each other, but neither of them intended to expose the other.
After all, the person they are waiting for has not come yet, so it is not the time to be jealous and pull hair.
Although Asus disliked Locke, the annoying bug, he had to admit that he was quite courageous.
The Empire had just suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Zerg. At this time, he, a Zerg, dared to appear alone in the heavily guarded Imperial Palace just to take a look at the little guy. He was really... so infatuated that he was particularly annoying...
Almost everyone at the dinner had arrived, because in the past two days, the public's calls for Shen Yinyin to be the next queen had been growing louder and louder.
In order to put on a show, the Queen even made an exception tonight and invited a lowly C-level female from the female appeasement team.
Among these females, naturally, was Tia, who had a change of heart towards Shen Yinyin.
At that time, the imperial army was suffering from a series of defeats, and the queen issued an order to abandon the Eighth Star. Although she was worried about Shen Yinyin, she was still forced to evacuate with the person she loved.
After she came back, she had been worried about Shen Yinyin. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to break through the desperate situation and come back alive.
Tia was not used to such a luxurious dinner and kept looking at the door, hoping that Shen Yinyin could come earlier.
The only people she could talk to now were a few females of the same level as her in the female appeasement team.
The females of high rank, noble status and prominent family background, led by Emily, looked at them with mockery and contempt in their eyes.
This feeling is really not a good one.
"Tia, Emily and the others are making fun of us again, right? We don't know when the party will end..."
The female who was speaking tugged at her skirt and whispered.
Their skirts aren't bad at all.
But compared to Emily, who is stunningly beautiful, dressed in gorgeous clothes and adorned with jewels, they are indeed not good enough.
Tia snorted coldly, saying in an indignant tone: "I don't know why she is so proud..."
The female next to her quickly grabbed Tia and signaled her to speak in a low voice.
"Emily is of noble status, a top female of double S rank, and beautiful, so she is naturally arrogant. We can't afford to offend her."
Tia disagreed: "It's a pity, she is far behind Shen Yinyin."
"Tia, didn't you hate Shen Yinyin very much before?"
When mentioning her dark history, Tia blushed, coughed, and corrected: "Don't talk nonsense! She is different from others, I don't hate her..."
The female next to him asked curiously, "Didn't you go to see her, Natia?"
Tia curled her lips and said nothing.
With her status, she has no right to take the initiative to meet Shen Yinyin.
Not to mention, her male husbands and suitors guarded the manor very closely. She wandered around for a long time but couldn't even find the gate, and was almost caught and beaten up by the patrolling robot butler.
If this gets out, how can she still have the face to survive?
While Tia was complaining in her heart, someone shouted, "Shen Yinyin is here!"
The originally luxurious and lively dinner suddenly became quiet.
