"We are honored to announce that Mr. Ashurufate, who is from Brassian City, is the local area, has won the championship of this spring horse racing indisputably!" An emcee made a loud announcement in the center of the platform where the audience gathered. As soon as this was said, the audience around us cheered. This was not only a cheer for the winner, but also more joyful elements.
In recent years, due to the large number of famous horses and excellent riders in other places, the champions of the Jockey Club in Bracian City are often not natives in Bracian City. Although admitting this will make people look petty and easily despised, who actually doesn't think about this? Not worried about a knot? This time, a local rider finally won (although Ashu Rufate was not born locally, since he married into the local area, he was undoubtedly a part of the local people). Everyone felt glorious and proud.
Next is a classic competition champion parade. A gorgeously dressed ceremonial officer held a flag to open the way and parade the champion on the top platform. This has always been the case. The champion on horseback will condescend to the audience's celebration and cheer, as well as flowers, in a solemn atmosphere.
As for the other contestants, they were no longer noticed by the audience at this time. In fact, when the horn sounded that the winner sounded, most contestants immediately lost the fighting spirit to continue the competition.
Ashrufate rode on his horse and was brought to the temporary high platform ahead with the cheers of the audience. Several nobles who presided over the ceremony were all on it, and there was also a priest wearing a church priest's robe, who held a golden and green crown in his hand.
"Mr. Ashurufat, congratulations on winning the championship," said the old man in charge of the presidency. "Now your responsibility, and your privilege, is to designate a beautiful lady as the queen of love and beauty, to preside over the upcoming sacrifice ceremony. According to regulations, this crown will be entrusted to you, and you can give it to any lady present and put it on her head. If you are not familiar with this ceremony, then I can simply explain: whoever you like to give this crown to, which is your inalienable right. The lady you selected is the incarnation of the goddess of love and beauty, the queen who presides over the ceremony today. In addition, a competition will be held tomorrow, and this queen will judge the victory or defeat."
After saying that, the priest walked down the platform and handed the crown in his hand to Ashrufate. It was a beautifully made crown, with gold and green colors. Specifically, it was an emerald satin crown with a circle of gold on the edge. The edges above the gold circle were processed into the shape of a corolla.
"Now, you can pass." The priest smiled after delivering the crown to Ash Rufat. "It seems that the ladies are ready in the pergola."
This sentence is completely correct. Because at this moment, the empty pergola that was previously empty was now full of noble women. After they confirmed the championship, they quickly came here to take their seats and wait for the inevitable ceremony. In fact, most ladies knew that Ashu Rufate was the fiancé of the two sisters (the previous dance party made most people know this). In theory, he would undoubtedly give his crown to his fiancée. But the problem is that this crown can only be worn on one person's head, so Ashu Rufate has a great possibility that he cannot choose between the two sisters. Just like the story told in the book, in this case, Ashu Rufate may wear the crown on the head of a strange lady present. As long as the lady is beautiful enough.
Based on this prediction, the ladies did not waste their precious time at all. They immediately started to compete for the best position so as not to lose this opportunity because they were hiding in a certain corner. On the contrary, Xingjian was only listed in the back row of the pergola because of his slow movement.
At this time, Ess was already with Xingjian again. She was one of the few people who knew that only Xingjian was present today, so she gave up early.
"Dear, congratulations." Aisi congratulated his friends around him with some envy and jealousy. "Look, he has come over and started looking for you. Hey," she reached out and held Xingjian's hand, and then she found that the other party's hand was trembling slightly. "Why are you trembling? You're so excited?"
Xingjian was indeed a little excited, but this excitement was mixed with three points of fear. A kind of uneasy mixed with tension filled her heart. Ash Rufate had won the championship, so what they feared before was no longer a problem, but another kind of uneasiness quietly arises.
The Jockey Club prize is as high as 10,000 gold. This money is an extremely good number for the squire and nobles, even exceeding the total property of the two sisters at this moment. With this money, Ashu Rufate actually didn't have to stay here anymore. Like he was treated slowly by his sisters because of his own nothing. He could leave quietly and live a life of living a life of debauchery - he could live a good life for decades or even a lifetime without having to face the cold reception of the two sisters here.
If that happens... no, it's impossible! Ashu Rufate is not such a person! But a voice deep in her heart is coldly declaring a reality: the two sisters have always been very cold towards Ashu Rufate, the fiancé. Ashu Rufate is not valued at home and is completely not as "fiance". It is impossible for a smart person like Ashu Rufate to not feel this. The reason why he has always endured this cold treatment was simply because he had nowhere to go and had to stay here. If there is a chance, perhaps with a temptation, he chooses to leave.
What if this happens?
Accompanied by two ceremonial officers, trumpeters and several entourages, Ashurufate arrived at the pergola. He walked very slowly, undoubtedly exercising his right to review, carefully examining the countless beautiful faces dotted in the pergola.
During the review process, the beauties' performances were really diverse and worth seeing. Some blushed; some pretended to be reserved and dignified; some looked ahead, as if they didn't know what was going on; some showed obvious stage fright, but this might also be pretending to be shy; some forced to calm down and smile; some people seemed to be nothing but chatting.
Ashu Rufate stopped in front of the pergola, whether out of a difficult decision or other hesitation motive, people noticed that the hero of today stood in front of the pergola for more than a minute.
For the audience who had nothing to do with this review, this was undoubtedly another exciting thing after the horse racing. The audience around, especially those close to them, kept shouting, giving advice to Ashu Rufate and helping him choose the right person. These people who made fun of these people were actually civilians. They didn't know that Ashu Rufate was the fiancé of the two sisters, so no one reminded him where Xingjian was.
"He's here, my dear, where is he looking for you!" Ais poked Xingjian beside him with his elbow, pulling her back from her random thoughts. Xingjian stood up completely subconsciously, raised one hand and waved at Aisu Rufat.
"Ashu Rufate, I'm here!"
This bold expression immediately attracted everyone's attention. The next second, all the young women turned their heads, hundreds or even thousands of gazes gathered on Xingjian. The audience around them burst into laughter after a brief shock.
Xingjian realized what was going on at this moment. She felt embarrassed and wanted to find a hole to crawl into it. But at this time, Ashu Rufate had already come over. He held the crown solemnly with both hands, calmly and calmly put the crown on Xingjian's head.
The trumpet sounded immediately. After the ceremony officer took a few seconds to confirm his identity, he immediately loudly announced that Miss Para of the Griffin family was elected as the queen of this year. Anyone who does not obey her authority will be punished accordingly.
"Congratulations, dear Miss Para!" Ais said in a prank tone. After saying this, she pushed Xingjian hard to the front.
Ash Rufate took the opportunity to stir up Xingjian's body and walked out of the awning with her. With many envious and jealous eyes behind her, she walked towards the small high platform. This year's goddess of love and beauty has been confirmed, so a regular sacrifice ceremony will be held next, followed by a carnival. Here, a grand picnic will be held.
Everyone was cheering and celebrating. In this atmosphere full of joy and enthusiasm, almost no one noticed a group of people hurriedly leaving the venue. However, even if someone noticed, he would only think that something urgent happened to someone's home.
On the way back to the city, Eo's face was not very good-looking. So even Lyle didn't dare to talk too much. It was not until he arrived at the city gate that Lyle carefully asked, "Boss Eo, what should we do?"
"He really won!" Eo sneered, his laughter full of malice.
"Dicks' horse... is indeed a good horse." Lyle said carefully.
"It's okay." Eo's voice calmed down. "Although he won the award, it's impossible for him to receive a bounty before the three-day process ends."
"But...even if we delay... it will not be delayed for three or five days." Lyle said. After all, the other party won the championship in front of almost everyone in the region, and it is impossible to deny this. In addition, the financial officer Russell is from Ashu Rufate's side, so it would not work to delay time and delay the issuance of bonuses.
"Yes...but do you know, what's the difference between a fiancée and a wife?"
"One less wedding ceremony?" Lair-Jiang-Second Monk was confused and didn't know what Io said meant.
"The difference between a fiancee and a wife is that," Eo's voice seemed fierce and decisive. "The wife has the right to inherit the inheritance, but the fiancee does not have this right. The property of the fiancée is independent of each other and cannot be inherited from each other!"
"Legend? Brother Io, do you mean...to solve the problem with violence?"
"The law's judgment is directed at the two sisters." Io did not answer positively. "And the one who won the game was Eshu Rufate. There is actually no connection between the two."
"But... take action in this place..." In fact, Lyle is not a person who is afraid of trouble, but no matter what, the security in Brassian City has always been good. If a murder case really occurs, it will become a big deal - no one dares to say that he can definitely suppress it. If the action is not clever enough, or if no fool is responsible for the crime...
"What are you afraid of!" Eo glanced at Lyle contemptuously. "The sheriff is our man!"
"But... that Ashu Rufat is not easy to deal with. After all, he is a mercenary who licks blood from a knife, and he is really amazing." Lyle remembered what happened before. "I'm afraid it's not possible if there are too many people... If there are too many people, I'm afraid it will attract attention..."
"Lyle, now is no longer the era of lone heroes roaming the world." Io smiled cruelly. "Maybe he really has good martial arts skills. But no matter how powerful a person is, he can't stop a bullet!"
