    Chapter Index

    It had been a long time since Luke had spoken to me in such a master-servant manner. I was stunned and suddenly understood his intention, and I felt sour and warm in my heart.

    “Get up.” I urged him in a low voice.I am a soul that has traveled through time, and I don’t care about the isolation and humiliation of these people, but for he, a native, it has a completely different meaning.In full view of the public, he was so respectful to me, a black sheep, which was equivalent to giving up his social future. It would be difficult for him to move forward in the upper class society in the future. How could I bear this?!

    “My master, please forgive me!” He obviously had his own insistence, still half-kneeling and said loudly.

    I had no choice but to follow he: “I forgive you, get up quickly.”

    He then stood up, grabbed my hand and kissed it.This time I actually kissed my gloved fingers.I really couldn’t help him, and because he looked so good-looking when he kissed the hand, with his eyelashes hanging down, it reminded me of how he looked in bed, and I blushed unconsciously.He straightened up, immediately taller than me. As if he had me under his protection, he stood beside me and pulled my hand into his arm.

    At this time, everyone around him reacted.Mrs. Russo and I had turned against each other because of Luke. Now seeing that he was so respectful and attentive to me, she felt resentful and said coldly: “Her Excellency, the Baroness, just accused others of rumors and slander. Now in public, she is arming arms with others, hugging each other, and seducing royal knights…” She sneered: “People with no roots and no family are indeed extraordinary in what they do, but etiquette and shame should always be taken into account, right?”

    I glanced at her.Luke beside him suddenly spoke:

    “My Lady Baroness is noble and kind, but I am humble and arrogantly admire her!” he said decisively: “I have already sworn to God, and she is the master of my body and mind! I defend the gods and my Lord with my sword and blood, and I will never tolerate any slander! If anyone still wants to say something, come to the duel with me and say it with a sword!”

    As soon as Luke said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.In this era, dueling for honor is the most noble act and is above the law.If you die in a duel, the murderer will not be punished. If you refuse a duel from others, it will be a great shame and humiliation. Therefore, the upper class is always very cautious about initiating a duel.But now, Luke, as a knight, in order to defend his lady’s honor, threw down the declaration of duel with dignity and no blame, but the people he faced were speechless – is it crazy to duel with the champion of knightly competition?!

    The scene suddenly came to a standstill. Luke single-handedly stood in front of me and declared war on my enemies. However, the people in front of him cowered in fear and did not dare to look at him.Looking at Luke’s admirers headed by Mrs. Russo, their teeth are so full of hatred that they bleed.For so many years, so many people have been pursuing Luke at all costs, but they have never received a single favor from him. Now, he actually volunteered himself and showed his attitude so decisively, but to a notorious whore like me?!They were so jealous in their hearts that they wished they could put me to death quickly, but they had to bury their ugly thoughts under the outer skin of hypocrisy and put on a noble and dismissive appearance.For a moment, no one spoke.

    At this moment, the herald’s high voice resounded through the hall, breaking the awkward atmosphere: “Your Majesty the King! Lady Elizabeth!”

    Following the herald’s announcement, the ornate door at the end of the hall opened, and the king appeared with his betrothed.The attention was immediately turned away from me and Luke, and turned towards the supreme monarch of the land.People in the entire hall bowed their bodies to their king, but I was the only one who suddenly fell into a trance when looking at those figures, so stunned that I couldn’t move.

    This was the first time I saw Uther since that night of rupture.Over the past year, he has lost a lot of weight, and his golden brown hair is pulled back, revealing a face as deep as a knife.He is wearing a dark dress with elegant tailoring, which makes him look slender, tall and cold, and invincible.He let Elizabeth hold his arm with his left hand, and held a black wooden cane with an ivory handle in his right hand – he had never used a cane before. Why, was he not in good health?

    In these short few seconds, my thoughts went back and forth, and all I could think of was “he”, and tears filled my eyes.Time keeps passing by, I am growing up, and he is getting older.

    Under my gaze, Uther took Elizabeth, who I completely ignored, on his arm, and walked through the hall and the crowd towards the throne at the other end.I saw him getting closer and closer to me, coveting every minute and refusing to look away. Fortunately, everyone was saluting and didn’t notice my gaffe.But I can’t escape the king’s eyes like this.Uther was almost passing me. His ice blue, almost transparent pupils turned, and his indifferent gaze fell on me, which made me suddenly shiver. His eyes then glanced at Luke, who was holding my arm and bowing to him, and turned away without any hesitation, walking with Elizabeth, leaving me behind.

    I was behind him, with tears in my eyelashes, following his back without any hope.he saw me, he saw me and Luke together.We can never go back.

    Uther led Elizabeth up the steps to the throne, and then the two turned back.The herald struck the ground twice with his staff, indicating that everyone could get up.The arrival of the king and the queen-to-be meant that the ball had officially begun. Uther and Elizabeth were supposed to dance the first dance together, but both of them sat motionless, so naturally no one said anything without a look.

    The atmosphere became lively again.The incident caused by Luke and I has been selectively forgotten by everyone.There was laughter and laughter all around, and Luke held my hand caringly: “My lord?”

    Only then did I come back to my senses. I felt disappointed, but seemed to be relieved.This year, I have been waiting for this ending, such an ending.Now, it’s all over.

    In this case, there is no need to linger any longer.

    Even so, I took one last look at the throne.Uther was still as cold and elegant as ever, sitting on a high throne with an expressionless face.Only I can see that what is hidden under his coldness is impatience and perseverance.He is the greatest king and my first and most unforgettable lover, forever.

    I still had tears in my eyes, but I smiled gently, said goodbye to him in my heart, and prepared to leave with Luke.When I withdrew my gaze, I glanced at Elizabeth, whom I had always ignored.

    Contrary to me, she is always paying attention to me.The confusion and loss I felt just now all fell into her eyes.From her point of view, I acted in a charming manner and looked at Uther with tears in my eyes, as if to arouse his old feelings, but only received he’s indifference. What’s more, I was still with Luke. During this period, the scandal between Luke and I was not news. Now that we have appeared together openly and confirmed our relationship, even if the king is still attached to me, he will only feel disgusted with me after witnessing my sexual promiscuity.This mistress of mine is completely incapable of turning over.

    My eyes only glanced at Elizabeth. In this thousandth of a second, I clearly saw her mean eyes and slightly raised corners of her mouth.she is laughing.

    Really, so, that’s what she’s for?

    However, it has nothing to do with me.
