Chapter 220 Chapter 219-What Is Happening Here?
Ruibo could hear it everywhere, the news filling all over the Empires, and perhaps now sharing the continent, the whispers of how beautiful the child was such that he would take your breath away, his mightiness, the words of how powerful, talented, beautiful, and great kept filling all the place around, and Ruibo couldn't take it!
The anger, helplessness, sadness, everything all coming together to form his jealousy! Uncontrolled and greatly burning jealousy that can't seem to back down at all, it rearing its ugly head from inside Ruibo. No matter how much he tried, Ruibo couldn't help but dream of him being in that situation, and thus without meeting this child, a great amount of hatred boomed in Ruibo's heart from his jealousy.
The further coming news only forth to made Ruibo feel even worse, a powerful fiancée from the third heaven, a powerful teacher seemingly taking the child in, seeing his hidden talents and raising him up to awaken his true potential, and more. Thus Ruibo dreamed of himself in all those situations.
And thus the day came for the ball of Azrail.D.Xavon to grace the palace. Even with Ruibo being hidden away, he still came to gaze at the landing, a coincidental meeting where Ruibo came up to see Azrail's group and he was blown away by what he gazed upon, the brilliance from Azrail being enough to blind Ruibo's eyes with an extreme amount of greed and jealousy.
His heart seemingly beating faster than he could count as his eyes had landed upon that veiled beauty, her pink and amethyst hair mixed together subtly playing at his heartstrings, while those pink eyes seemingly called upon him. Never had Ruibo felt so rawly attracted to anyone before and thus just made his heart break even faster at the fact that none of it is his.
The whole group showed something Ruibo lost, and just like a loser, all Ruibo could have done was walk away, many dirty feelings filling his mind, along with such thoughts.
'Why am I suffering ?'
Asking this question to himself, Ruibo soon arrived upon the opening of the garden, a place he used to play around with his mother. But the moment he arrived at the place, his eyes came upon a scene that almost blinded his eyes, his heart started to beat faster than he ever felt in his life.
There on one of the benches sat the very beauty that kept filling his mind, a beauty's face he couldn't see yet fills his mind. The very same girl, sitting silently on the bench, the light of the moon falling upon her, the beautiful flowers seemingly adding a way with her presence. Even before Ruibo could speak, he felt a very subtle yet saddening presence leaking from the girl in front of him, she seemingly sighing and looking at the moon.
Ruibo's heart started to beat faster at that thought, a chance perhaps showing off for him to enter into, the thought of going after another man's fiancée isn't nice or acceptable, but to the current Ruibo with dark feelings filling his heart, nothing else can seem to bring back his reality to his mind. Right now, only the beauty in front of him filled his eyes.
Though before he could take a step in, he felt a bit of hesitation. Would the girl even look at someone like him? Such hesitations kept filling his mind, but in the end, the girl seemingly turned her head down to meet him, the loneliness around her seemingly matching along with his, those beautiful gem-like pink eyes meeting his as she asked.
Her voice was sweeter than any he had heard about, Ruibo thought till now that his mother's voice was the sweetest, but now he was proven wrong. The boy's heart started to beat faster, a light blush filling his face as he spoke.
He asked, to this, he could see her beautiful brows furrowing as she spoke.
"Why would that matter to you?"
Her words pushed him down, but he couldn't see any disgust that he normally sees in others now in the eyes of the girl. After all, with how famous he is, who doesn't know what Ruibo looks like?
"I just felt like you looked sad, peering into the moon. Is something bothering you?"
He asked in a light tone, walking towards where Valencia sat, but the moment he walked into about 10 steps of the girl, he was unable to walk any more forward. Thus, Valencia looking at this little boy that arouses no emotions from her, she looked towards the sky and continued the little play.
"You won't understand."
This subtle reply from Valencia raised the emotions in Ruibo as he spoke.
Even at this word, Valencia didn't turn to look at him, seemingly saddened looking to the moon, not responding to Ruibo's words, a moment of silence falling between them till Valencia spoke.
"What can the powerless do against the powerful?"
She spoke in a light tone, her words deeply affecting Ruibo's heart. He turned to look at the moon, a thought that raised his heartbeats passing through his mind as he suddenly asked.
"Are you against your will being engaged to Azrail?"
This sudden question caused Valencia to look at Ruibo in 'surprise,' a bit true, her thoughts even asking how this idiot could reach such a thought, yet she maintained her facade, playing with the role that Azrail spoke would happen.
"That's none of your business."
Valencia replied a bit defensive as she said so. She lightly raised the side of her veil, just a little bit flashing to the world and that way, the heart of Ruibo almost burst out from within his heart.
'So... so beautiful....'
Even that thought barely formed in his mind, his heart seemingly forming a connection between the two of them, a sense of lost connection being felt by Ruibo, he felt as if fate was at play. And just as he spoke.
"What's happening here?"
A voice called out, cutting out Ruibo's words, the voice itself belonging to a male but with the same attraction and quality as Valencia's. Thus, Azrail entered the scene with Xuanyin and Huifen.
'This guy looks down.'
Azrail mused as he looked at Ruibo dumbly staring at Valencia as if he had never seen a girl before. Even a dumb guy can see what's going on here. After Valencia left, Azrail spent some time talking and chatting with Huifen, getting a bit closer, and the moment Valencia communicated with him, Azrail moved, saying to excuse wanting to find Valencia.
And Huifen accepted it as Azrail started to lead the way, speaking of how Azrail could track his fiancée's movement, and things went perfectly from then on, leading to the group perfectly arriving at the same time. Thus, Azrail gazed at the half-crazy-looking guy in front of him. Ruibo has the Imperial family's red hair flaming above him, though arranged in a mismatched way, looking bad, he has red-burning eyes too, though that too looks half crazy and done. Right now he has the face of a horny kid as he gazed at Valencia, while Valencia looks like a girl that's about to leave because he is disturbing her.
