Chapter 537 Hastur and Audrey's Engagement
"It's dawn, time to get up..."
On a large bed, the quilt arched slightly, the bed swayed gently, and the hand-embroidered pattern of blooming flowers on the quilt had deep wrinkles after a night of tumbling.
"No..." A low moan was like the sound of a kitten in helplessness, "Be moderate..."
This whisper did not reveal much firm will.
"I'm not a member of your temperance faction."
"No, be moderate."
"Are you saying this to yourself?"
"..."
"It seems that you haven't even convinced yourself yet."
The sun was shining brightly, from the window to the roof, and those who liked to stay in bed came out of the room.
Azshara, who had been waiting downstairs for a whole morning, was curious and wanted to go upstairs, but was caught by Hastur and asked to stay quiet so as not to disturb Sharon's sleep.
"Something must have happened last night!" Azshara's eyes were wide open.
"Eat your dried fish." Hastur blocked Azshara's mouth with a dried fish.
"Don't think you can shut me up with food... I can't eat anymore!"
Faced with her master's forced feeding, Azshara finally had to declare surrender and lie on the table, unwillingly pouting.
Seeing Hastur's eyes sweeping over her, she hurriedly covered her mouth to avoid being fed with dried fish again.
After eating and drinking, Hastur took a delicious meal to the second floor and entered Sharon's room, and did not come out until the next morning.
For several days, until January 5th, Hastur got up early and asked his personal maid to dress up for him and put on a black dress that had already been customized.
In terms of dressing, men always simplify many steps for women.
At about eight o'clock in the morning, Hastur took a carriage to the engagement venue.
At first, Earl Hall preferred to hold the engagement ceremony in the church of the Goddess of Night, but Hastur felt awkward about it. Maybe the Goddess of Night would secretly take a look and show a miracle to bless his engagement ceremony with Audrey.
Hastur didn't want his good life with Audrey to be mixed with these conspiracies, so he finally chose to hold the engagement ceremony at the Aster Manor of the Campbell family in the suburbs.
Butler Neil had people start to set up the scene early. Hastur, who arrived early, spent most of his time entertaining the nobles and friends who came to attend the engagement ceremony.
Even if it was just an engagement, the scene was still very grand. If the number of people had not been deliberately reduced, the nobles of the entire Backlund might have come to attend the engagement ceremony.
Hastur naturally chose the time of the engagement ceremony at night.
As believers of the goddess of night, Audrey and Earl Hall naturally had no objection to this.
At six o'clock in the evening, Audrey arrived at the gate of the manor in Earl Hall's luxurious carriage.
It is worth mentioning that Hugh and Fors were one of Audrey's bridesmaids and came to attend the engagement ceremony.
They supported Audrey on the left and right to open the curtain of the carriage, got off the carriage, and accompanied Audrey to the distance where she handed her little hand to Hastur's big hand.
Tonight, Audrey was undoubtedly the most dazzling existence under the starry sky.
Even if she was simply dressed up at a dinner party on weekdays, she was already eye-catching enough. Tonight, she was dressed up by more than 20 maids for most of the day, and she was even more dazzling, like a shiny diamond that had been polished on many sides. No matter from which angle you look at her, she was so flawless.
Tonight, Audrey wore a pure white wedding dress that symbolized purity and loyalty. The neckline, shoulders, waist, cuffs, and hem were made of a lot of lace, tulle, ruffles, ribbons, bows, multi-layered cake cutting, folds, wrinkles and other elements.
Each process here was handmade by a senior tailor, and it took more than half a year. This was the wedding dress that Earl Hall had prepared for Audrey in advance.
The heart-shaped sapphire necklace, ruby diamond bracelet and other various complementary earrings from the southern continent made Audrey's beauty even more outstanding and stunning.
Hasta held Audrey's hand in a white gauze glove and walked on the red carpet that had been laid on the ground. In the eyes of countless envy and blessings, they walked into the manor step by step, and completed a series of tedious ceremonies in front of Archbishop Anthony and the Earl and his wife of Hall.
It looked no different from a real wedding ceremony.
"Wow, I envy Miss Audrey so much!" Hugh held back the exclamation that almost screamed out loud, and said with great envy: "Wearing such a wedding dress and walking into the palace of marriage with the beloved, life is simply perfect."
"Yes, it's really enviable." Fors's eyes were blurred, with a bit of longing, blessing and a little loss. murmured.
"Fors, why don't you have a script like Miss Audrey's perfect life in so many novels you wrote?"
"Because I can't imagine it."
Fors's thoughts were pulled back at once, in her novels, and in the simple cognition of the vast number of readers.
For all the noble ladies who come from such powerful families, their marriages are often forced and they have no choice.
A painful and unfortunate marriage with a desire for freedom is their normal state.
Therefore, in literary works, they often like those simple, kind and common young men who symbolize freedom and equality and have all the good qualities.
This is also the motivation and interest of this kind of books.
If it simply depicts a happy and perfect life, it will definitely fail to resonate with a wide range of readers, and the sales of the entire work will be dismal.
Such a happy life is only suitable for the person concerned to slowly experience and possess, and must not be written into a literary work for dissemination.
This will undoubtedly attract malicious abuse and suspicion.
"Is that Miss Sharon?" Suddenly, Xio tugged at Fors' sleeve and whispered in a direction.
Fors looked in the direction Xio pointed, and saw the exquisite and beautiful Miss Sharon wearing a classic black court dress, looking at Mr. Hasta and Miss Audrey who were holding an engagement ceremony, and she was accompanied by a cute and sweet little girl.
"Miss Sharon must be very sad at this time." Xio whispered, and quickly covered her mouth, looking around in panic, and she was relieved to confirm that no one noticed what she said.
"Don't talk nonsense. Let's just pretend we didn't see anything." Fors pulled Hugh away from this place and walked to a place where Miss Sharon could not be seen.
Sharon, who was keenly aware that someone mentioned her, looked over subconsciously and only saw Fors' back. As for Hugh, her petite back was submerged in the crowd, and only the back of her head could be vaguely seen.
"Miss Sharon, I'm really angry for you." Azshara waved her fist angrily in the direction of Susie.
She didn't think she lost to Susie, and Miss Sharon didn't lose to Miss Audrey.
Sharon just gently stroked Azshara's head. There was no expression of sadness and loss on her face. Instead, there was a hint of inexplicable emotion in her deep eyes.
These days, Hasta has been staying in her room. Although this is not something worth showing off, at this time, her thoughts can't help but recall the days when she was alone with Hasta these days.
She naturally understood that Hastur was feeling sorry for her and had some regrets in his heart, but she still walked in front of Miss Audrey, just like the game of life they played in South Wales.
In the first game of life, she did win Audrey.
As for the future game of life, she didn't think she would lose.
"Restraint..." Sharon's cheeks flushed slightly, and she didn't seem to be obsessed with this matter.
Soon, the ceremony and music sounded, and cheers rang out, congratulating Hastur and Audrey on the completion of the engagement ceremony.
Huh, the ceremony is finally completed, it's really tiring... Audrey also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She didn't sleep well since last night, and she got up very early today. She was busy until now, and the engagement ceremony finally came to an end.
"Are you tired? I'll take you back to your room to rest for a while."
Hasta's whisper rang in Audrey's ears. Audrey felt panicked for some reason, and she didn't even dare to look at Hastur.
Obviously, this was just a very ordinary and caring word.
Audrey's slightly flustered eyes met Susie's eyes, who had been looking at this place.
"Audrey, you are not familiar with the change of each other's identities, so you seem flustered and at a loss. You need some time to accept your new relationship with Mr. Hasta."
Although Susie did not speak, Audrey understood the meaning in her eyes.
Audrey was still in a relaxed mood, despite being counseled by Susie at the engagement ceremony.
She was suddenly stunned for a while, and she seemed to be getting more and more used to Susie's counseling...
This made her glare at Susie lightly, then nodded, accepting Hasta's suggestion, and go to the room to rest for a while, after all, she would be busy dealing with those noble ladies and young ladies later.
