Chapter 387 Elcia's Engagement
During dinner, the members of the Northfield team sat together in the banquet hall. Except for Mero and Sophia, who had returned to the demon world, the rest of them sat in their previous seats.
The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, and this dinner was filled with a joyful atmosphere. It could be seen that everyone had a happy look on their faces, which was completely different from the solemn atmosphere last time.
"Everyone in the Northfield team, you saved my daughter and you have shown us a great kindness."
Althea's father stood up at this time and bowed deeply to the members of the Northfield team. Seeing this scene, everyone tried to persuade the Marquis to stop quickly. The dignified Marquis
He thanked them so simply, which made them feel at a loss.
"Lord Marquis, Alsia is our important partner, and we are willing to do this for our partner."
Lu also answered the Marquis like a representative, while several other teammates did not respond. After all, Lu was the captain of their team, and he made the greatest contribution in this battle, so he was the one to answer.
The answer was also the most reasonable. Others were listening to the conversation between Lu and the Marquis while eating.
"Lu. Northfield-kun, I have already heard about your heroic performance from my daughter. If it weren't for you, my daughter would probably be dead. Thank you very much."
"Yes, what my husband said is right. Whenever I think about my daughter being almost killed... I feel like my whole body is trembling... It's all thanks to you."
"Well, Brother Lu is really awesome. When my sister was telling her story, I was listening attentively. I really respect you."
Althea's parents and her sister also spoke, and he didn't know how to respond to their gratitude or respect, so in the end he could only say, "This is what I should do.
"
"You are indeed a great person. I have already heard Alsia tell me that in the end, you almost sacrificed yourself to protect the citizens of the Mechanical Empire. Such a person is really rare in the world.
"
"I just... don't want to see anyone die again... especially innocent people and... people I cherish..."
Lu didn't know why he suddenly said this. After saying this, he himself felt strange as to why he said this.
"So...are you classifying Althea as someone you cherish?"
"Yes, as the Marquis knows, when I first came to the royal capital after losing my memory, Alsia also provided me with a lot of help like Alice. For this alone, I am extremely grateful to her.
And...during these days, I also realized that Alshia is a very good girl."
"oh……"
Upon hearing this, the Marquis showed a thoughtful expression, and then fell into silence for a long time. Finally, he finally spoke.
"Ms. Lu Northfield, I leave my Althea Hawins to you. This child is definitely a single-minded girl. Her talents are also good, and her family background is no problem..."
"Um...what does this mean?"
When Lu heard this, she suddenly had an ominous premonition, and there was someone who reacted faster than him. She stared directly at Lu, and then showed a "Never say such content"
expression.
"It's very simple. Are you interested in entering into a marriage agreement with Alshea?"
"What!?"
Hearing this, Lu couldn't help but scream, and everyone in the Northfield team showed a look of shock, and one person even had an expression that could almost be described as "teary-eyed"
to describe it.
"What's going on?"
Lu quickly used sound transmission magic to ask Althea, and Althea also looked red in the face, but still answered Lu.
"After listening to what I said, my father regards you as, uh, a marriage, marriage, betrothed person..."
Althea's transmission voice became quieter and quieter...and could hardly be heard later.
"No, no, no, no! Wait a minute, Lord Marquis, you are too weird! Is it really okay to betroth a daughter of yours to someone like me who just jumped out of nowhere? What if I'm actually a bad guy?"
"The question you mentioned is correct. But Alsia agrees with you, so at least you are not a bad person. And... if you are really a bad person, Elna would have discovered it long ago."
"What?"
After hearing this, Lu immediately stared at Elna who was sitting next to Althea. At this moment, Elna was staring at Lu with a smiling face.
"Brother Lu underestimates me too much. Although I am younger than my sister, I have an advantage that even my sister does not have. That is my eyes. My eyes can see through a person."
"Magic Eye!"
After hearing what Elna said, Lu immediately thought of a possibility. Alshia's parents were also stunned when they heard what Lu said, but then they nodded in affirmation of Lu's answer.
"Yes, Erna is a rare holder of the magic eye. That child's magic eye can see through a person. If you are a bad person, Erna will tell me right away."
"Elna's magic eyes can see through a person's essence, and can even see through the thoughts of evil people. Her pair of magic eyes have never seen the wrong person."
Althea's mother also added, and Elna also looked at Lu at the moment and said: "Uh-huh, Brother Lu is very confused right now."
"I think this proposal is very good, and when my daughter asked her about this proposal before, she also said to me, "If the target is you, she would be quite happy."
"What are you doing again?"
At this time, Lu used sound transmission magic to ask Althea again, and Althea lowered her head in shyness.
"I'm sorry, I really couldn't hold these words in my stomach at that time."
"Oh my god..."
At this moment, Lu suddenly felt that there was a sad gaze staring at him. He looked in the direction of this gaze. Sure enough, Alice kept looking at him with a tearful expression, and Lu herself
He also knew that this proposal was indeed a good one, and he had developed feelings for Alsia unknowingly, but... he still couldn't ignore Alice.
After a brief hesitation, Lu rejected the proposal.
"I'm sorry, Lord Marquis, it may hurt Alsia's heart, but please allow me to reject this proposal because I have someone I like, and I like Alice Northfield."
"dew……"
Alice also didn't expect Lu to say this in public, and Selena didn't know why at this moment, she felt pain in her chest as if she was being grabbed.
Lu originally thought that the Marquis would be angry because of this, but the result was unexpected. Judging from the Marquis's expression, he seemed to have guessed that Lu would say this.
"Alshia was right. She said that you are a person who is extremely loyal to love and will definitely reject this proposal when the time comes. In this case, I will take a step back and make an engagement with Alshia first.
Lu, Northfield-kun, please give it some time to think about it. As for the time limit, let it be before you graduate. In the past few years, get to know Althea well. After that, if you still can’t think about getting married, you can give up. Then how about this first?
?”
This proposal was very humane, and Lu agreed.
After that, the banquet lasted until late at night. After the banquet was over, everyone went back to the rooms where they were arranged.
Lu put on her pajamas and lay on the bed. The bed was very soft, soft and comfortable.
Lying on the bed, Lu spread her hands and looked at the ceiling.
"It turned out to be a marriage contract with Alsia out of nowhere. It's really a mess..."
After thinking about it, Lu closed her eyes and quickly fell into sleep...
Chapter completed!
