Slime's Evolutionary Journey

The content of the Odea royal wedding banquet is roughly the same as that of other human noble wedding banquets, but it has its own unique customs. The most special one is that the banquet is held before the wedding ceremony.

This may be the reason why Odeya believes that the best things should be saved for the end. Only at the end of the banquet will the bride and groom take the most sacred oath together in front of the priest!

Before that, the bride needs to prepare her makeup in the pavilion, while the groom needs to toast to his elders and friends to express his gratitude and care for them.

Since Tao was too drunk, everyone specifically asked him to only toast half a glass at a time, otherwise it would be bad if the final vows of the wedding were delayed.

Everyone at the wedding banquet wished this man who had just married a concubine in his twenties, but for some reason, although the male protagonist of today's wedding showed a happy smile, it felt a bit far-fetched and always inadvertent. He looked into the distance in the sky.

Perhaps it was because the second prince, who was addicted to machine craftsmanship, missed the end of his single life. For this, the people at the banquet who had already experienced weddings expressed their understanding.

"Tao, go and toast your brother. Your brother has been worrying a lot about you for this wedding." After Tao toasted his father with a glass of wine, the Odean emperor patted his second son on the shoulder. , said happily.

For this emperor, although his second son did not develop as he had imagined, he was still well-behaved and sensible, and he still had his eldest son to support the entire empire in the future, and the relationship between the two brothers was so good, he was already very good. Satisfied.

"Yes, father, but I didn't see my brother for a while after the banquet started. He must have gone to discuss matters with the minister."

Tao's words contained rejection. In fact, he didn't really want to see his brother. This was not because he hated him, but because the person who knew him best was his brother. He was afraid that his brother would see through his thoughts.

"Hahaha, where was that guy discussing some important matter? I just saw him taking a break by the pool in the backyard. You should go over now, otherwise you two brothers will have less time to be alone tonight."

"Yes, Tao, go over now."

Her father has said so, so Tao naturally has no way to hide anymore, and if her brother sees what is on her mind, she will notice it. After all, after everything is over tonight, she will be sent back to the Gear Country, and she will also He will live a leisurely life and be a leisurely prince.

Taking two wine glasses and a wine flask, Tao walked to the pond in the backyard.

The backyard of the palace is very large. It is a landscape garden with rockeries, bamboo forests, longshan bushes, and small pavilions surrounded by flowers. Every scene has been carved and built by top palace masters. Tao and his brother have loved it since they were children. Come here to play.

There are four doors in the backyard, and the door Tao passed through from the wedding banquet to the backyard happened to be the small door of the backyard.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Tao immediately saw his brother standing on the edge of the pond, quietly looking at the faint fluorescence reflected by the clear pond water.

Tao thought of the recent tense atmosphere between himself and his brother, and wanted to quietly pass a rockery to give his brother a surprise like he did when he was a child, to ease the atmosphere between brothers. However, when Tao walked around secretly, a man was hurriedly walking by. He walked towards his brother.

And this man himself has seen it several times! He is his brother's confidant!

But why would his brother meet him alone at this time?

For some reason, Tao relied on his intuition to feel that something was about to happen, and immediately returned to the rockery and hid. The conversation between his brother and the stranger happened to reach his ears.

"The eldest prince!"

The man bowed deeply to Ladd.

"How are things going?" Ladd put his hands behind his back and looked directly at the man. Under the clear light of the red moonlight, Ladd's eyes flashed with a faint cold light that Tao had never seen before.

"First Prince, please rest assured that the matter has been taken care of. We have dispatched three diamond-level warriors and a seventh-level mage! She will definitely not be able to escape!"

Three diamond-level warriors? A seventh-level mage? Who is my brother trying to kill?

Tao held on to the rockery tightly, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"That's good! Remember! You must disguise yourself at the scene afterwards! Don't let my brother notice it! Do you understand?" Ladd's voice was calm and authoritative.

"Yes!" The man bowed and responded, "It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Just Your Highness, do we really need to do this? If His Highness Tao knows what you have done, I am afraid he will hate you." The man said worriedly, "I think it is better to send that mechanical species back to the country of gears. , After all, His Highness Tao is already married, and the Gear Country is like another world. As long as she returns to the Gear Country, it will be impossible for His Highness to have contact with that mechanical species."

"Have you ever heard of a poem from Dongxia Kingdom?"

"poetry?"

“If you don’t cut it, it will become messy!”

Ladd said slowly, his tone revealing firmness and coldness.

"For my brother! I know it all too well! If that mechanical species hadn't died! Tao's heart wouldn't have died! He would have been thinking about her! Not only will time not dilute it! He might even become lovesick!"

"So! I just want Tao to know that something happened to that mechanical species! She was attacked by an unknown team of adventurers! She finally died on the way to the Gear Kingdom! Only in this way can Tao completely let go of that mechanical species. Mechanical, his life will not be troubled by Qingsi in the future. Forget her completely! That’s why I want you to handle the scene! Don’t show any flaws! Do you understand?”

"Yes! For His Highness! We will do our best!" the man said in a deep voice.

Ladd waved his hand, and the man quickly retreated. Ladd was still looking at the sparkling lake. After a moment, he left the backyard through the main entrance.

Tao, who heard everything behind the rockery, was shocked and speechless! Countless complicated emotions surged into his heart, and he would not question why his brother lied to him! Because my brother has made it very clear! Everything is for yourself!

But! Tao couldn't accept it! He couldn't accept his brother's thoughts. He couldn't accept that his brother killed her with his own hands! He couldn't accept that she just left this world!

Countless images flooded into Tao's mind at once, the most common of which were her every move and word! Her long red hair! Her red eyes! Her red dress!

next moment! Tao left the backyard without even thinking! We left the palace amidst the cheers of the entire castle!

When the city guard came to report to Ladd and Emperor Odeya, he had already left the palace.
