Beatrice looked at Louis, her gaze sowhat evasive and hesitant, but in the end, she bit her lip and said:
"Abyssal Pus is actually equivalent to a mix of primal sins that have not been separated."
"Sorry, Louis, the Tower of White’s Sin Experint is a plan that began in my father’s generation."
"The power of the abyss is very dangerous, but it’s not completely uncontrollable."
"Our thought was, rather than shying away from the threat, we should confront the threat, study the threat, control the threat, and then surpass the threat."
"This is the starting point of the germination of the Sin Experint."
"But our oversight failed, and so people who should not have beco experintal subjects got involved, including you."
Admitting one’s mistakes is very difficult.
Especially in front of him.
Every word she said ca out slowly.
Who would have thought Louis would laugh:
"Why are you looking at like that? Go on, I’m still curious about what the Heartbreak Jade of the Love God’s darker aspect is!"
Louis didn’t much care about these things.
After all, it wasn’t him who truly suffered.
When he first crossed over, he thought "Let the original enjoy the blessings, let him face the guillotine."
Now, he felt nothing but comfort throughout his being.
You endure the pain of the experint, I enjoy the fruits of sin.
This wave, he called reversing the heavens.
So he laughed even more joyfully.
Seeing that Louis wasn’t blaming her much, Beatrice finally smiled, returning to her usual deanor.
Her fingertips traced circles in Louis’s palm, and she said leisurely:
"The Heartbreak Jade is actually a special tool created by the demigod of the Love God’s darker aspect after stealing so research results on Abyssal Pus from the Abyssal Church and combining them with her own path."
"The person wearing the Heartbreak Jade will have the flaws in their heart continuously magnified, and their emotions can easily beco extre."
"Logically speaking, this thing should be no less of a malignancy than Abyssal Pus."
"But that demigod almost single-handedly transford the negative effects of the Heartbreak Jade into positive augntation."
"The emotional magic she developed can use emotions as fuel, replacing so of the magic power."
"The Heartbreak Jade did not beco a blight for the Love God’s darker aspect’s followers; instead, it beca a top-grade item that amplifies emotions and enhances magic."
Louis, upon hearing this, affird:
"Then it’s certain, what Gregory carries is probably the Heartbreak Jade."
Beatrice nodded: "Let the Secret Guard investigate. Don’t think about these things, let’s talk about sothing happy."
"Talk about what?"
Beatrice hesitated, but she still said:
"Like I thought, today you look very, very..."
She originally wanted to say how presentable he looked today, but words that she could easily say in the past now caught in her throat.
It was rare for Louis to see her like this, and he couldn’t help but beco a little curious.
He sowhat wanted to keep looking at her like this, taking in just one more glance, then another.
At that mont, a lodious chi rang out.
Louis knew it was the bell announcing the official start of the ball.
Although he had so lingering feelings in his heart, he still softly said:
"The ball is about to start, Beatrice, you are the star of today."
Beatrice’s eyes showed a bit of disappointnt, but she quickly swept away that emotion.
Louis was a cautious and restrained person.
Coincidentally, so was she.
Only neither of them noticed soone behind a pillar biting their silver teeth nearly to pieces.
...
"Hurry up!"
"Yes, yes, just like that, take his hand."
"Well done, Beatrice, now give His Highness Louis a little princess shock!"
"What the hell are you guys doing?"
"Discussing serious matters at a romantic mont!"
"Stop!"
"Ti is running out."
"Ahhh, who was the idiot who told His Highness Louis had a wooden head? Who’s really the blockhead here!"
"Li Zai Gan God-Demon, why hasn’t there been a kiss yet?"
With the start of the ball’s chi, the gleam in Qian’s eyes dimd instantly.
"Can’t take it, I’m going to faint from anger because of His Highness."
Qian looked at the pillar she had crushed into powder, a look of regret on her face.
Her own princess, at a crucial mont, was useless.
An alarming thought flashed through her mind.
Could it be that His Highness Louis’s restraint was truly because he saw her perform a knight’s salute for him recently?
Sobbing, she started to consider whether she should kneel and apologize.
On the other side, William, crouched in a corner keeping watch, was resting his eyes.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and glanced outside into the night.
It seed as if he saw soone gazing from afar, a black cloak billowing in the wind.
But looking closely, that was no cloak.
Just a curtain blown by the night breeze.
...
At the sa ti.
On the elevated platform at the ball venue, Beatrice and Louis stood at the top.
Slightly shedding her shyness, Beatrice once more displayed her past heroic deanor.
"...Today, here, on this special day, I want to share with everyone soone who is very important to ."
On the platform, at the end of the dry opening, Beatrice spoke with firm and solemn words to everyone below:
"As the Empire’s Eldest Princess, I need to be responsible for my own life."
"Choosing a suitable person to walk the next journey of life is the resolve of a princess."
Below, the cheers and whistling of the young nobles echoed with the applause of the old nobles and visiting guests.
Standing next to Louis, Beatrice subconsciously glanced at him.
She took a deep breath and finally said:
"I think he will be the most suitable person, and that’s why we have this ball today."
"Applaud and cheer, believe , in a few years, you will co to my side, sincerely saying to :
