HP Bella's Lie

54 - Tell the world

The red-eyed man in a black robe caught everyone's attention.

Dusk had fallen, and there seemed to be a layer of setting sun behind him. It was obviously the breath of darkness, but it exuded a holy power that made people worship.

The gorgeous venue where there was a lot of drinking and drinking at the last moment seemed to be paused, the air froze, and everyone tried their best to maintain a stiff posture to hide their attention from him, and they didn't know what each other said. , Touched half of the goblet was raised in the air, but no one cared.

Like a subtle magic trick, he robbed everyone of their attention.

Avery dutifully cleared the way for him, and under the spectacle that almost divided the sea by Moses, the man came all the way to Bella.

Bella clearly felt the temperature of the backflow of blood.

Her eyes were glued to him and she couldn't get off.

He bowed his head slightly, looking at her and smiling.

"Happy birthday, Bella."

Everyone is waiting for this sentence.

As if a switch was pressed, all the hustle and bustle was finally allowed to return to reality.People's abnormal breathing stagnates again, the goblets are slowly finished, and the conversation begins to go on without a hitch.

But everything is different again.

Patriarch Black came to Bella's side first, and bowed to rt: "Mylord... your presence makes all Black feel very honored."

Bella felt the master's hand on her shoulder exert a little force. She resisted for a while, then gave up suddenly, and bowed down following his strength...

"No." rt ignored the Patriarch, and held her other shoulder with one hand in time to prevent her from bending down. Instead, he slightly lowered himself to look at her with a very beautiful smile, "I don't like this answer, Bella , you should understand what I want."

Bella froze for a moment, and was suddenly pushed into his arms by his hand that moved behind her. All five senses were tightly wrapped by his breath. She heard the beating of her heart, but she couldn't tell whose it was.

"That's what I want, do you understand?"

She suddenly put her arms around him, ignoring the sound of gasping around him one after another, put her feet up to approach his cheek, and kissed him lightly.

"Promise me one thing, okay?" She stared at him longingly.

RT didn't answer immediately, but looked at her for a while with probing eyes, and smiled playfully: "There is no need for that. I will do it for you if it is good for you, and I will not agree to anything that is bad for you. "

Bella didn't expect this answer to let her go, and told Patriarch Black, who was watching him, "I need a seat."

Patriarch Black had already prepared to take Bella's hand, followed Patriarch Black to the end of the long table, and sat down next to each other.

Even the dullest people could react to this move, not to mention that most of the people present were members of the knight order, and their ability to observe words and expressions was first-rate.

Bella felt countless fiery eyes staring at her, and even Mona, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't hide the astonishment in her eyes... She didn't dare to look at other people's expressions.The hand held by rt ​​squeezed tightly.

rt propped his chin with one hand, and gave her a sideways glance, with an elegant smile on his lips: "Don't be nervous. As long as I don't speak, no one dares to act rashly."

Bella understood what he meant, but she didn't relax at all.

"Will you... be silent?"

RT turned around slightly, looked at her quietly for a while, and reached out to stroke the ends of her slightly curly hair: "Heh... a keen girl."

He didn't say yes, and he didn't say no.But Bella just knew it.

"Please, don't say it... okay?"

RT's grip on her also increased slightly.He turned around again without answering.

Bella stared at him persistently. After a while, she heard his low voice: "What do you think of the status of fiancee?"

He lifted her hand and kissed her lightly.

"Do not tell a lie."

Bella was startled, and blushed and said anxiously: "I...I like it very much... But, can you keep quiet for now!" She held him tightly with her eyes, "Let it be a secret between the two of us, Don't tell anyone else... just promise me this time, okay?"

Rt always looked at her tenderly, and after hearing that answer, the emotions in his eyes became even more turbulent.But she refused under Bella's expectant gaze.

"I understand your thoughts, Bella. Because of this, you have to rely on your own strength to be recognized, and I have to rely on my own strength to get what I want... This is the real fair competition and what you want respect and equality, don't you?"

His fingers hooked up the metal chain around Bella's neck, took out a time converter, and stroked it gently.

"Do you remember..."

The sound was almost inaudible.

Bella wasn't sure if she heard it wrong, she stared at him blankly.

rt put down the time-turner, and turned his gaze to the venue.

"friends--"

He used a staffless and soundless loud mantra, and his gentle voice echoed in the venue.

"I think you don't mind spending a few minutes to hear me announce a good news."

Everyone stopped their movements and looked over in unison, with respectful and focused eyes.

rt was still sitting there elegantly and comfortably, apparently accustomed to the scene where everyone listened attentively.Bella grabbed the time-turner that he had loosened, and there was still residual temperature on it, as if it could absorb courage.

rt announced the news of their engagement in an understatement.

Even Patriarch Black couldn't hide his surprise, but he quickly returned to normal, pretending to know already, and responded to the swarms of probing eyes with a reserved and unassuming attitude.

Bella was taken away from the banquet in advance by him, and no one dared to ask even more, even though she was the protagonist of the banquet.

"What are you thinking about?"

The two walked in the promenade of the manor, Bella quietly followed behind rt, the last trace of the setting sun faded, the sky gradually shone with stars, and the land was deserted rt walked in front for a while, and asked a question.

Bella replied after a while: "I don't want to..."

rt said: "You don't like it?"

Bella was silent, nodded, and shook her head hesitantly.

——To be honest, I am happy.

Glad that he was willing to make their relationship public, happy that he took such a natural attitude, happy...his sincerity and persistence.

It took a while for the blood to subside.

but--

How should I repay this hot true love?

For the first time, Bella had a strong lack of confidence in herself.

In this relationship, she is like a parasite, endlessly benefiting from it, but unable to provide him with any help.

rt pressed the top of her head, her height just reached his chest.

"I do it to get what I want."

Bella raised her head and looked at his burgundy pupils.

"I'm using my power to force you to take the initiative, understand...don't think of me too selflessly, Bella."

They looked at each other for a moment and rt pressed her into his arms, blowing the ends of his hair slightly with his breath.

"The next time I show such a seductive expression, I may do something more extreme."

The banquet had already exploded, and the obvious acquiescence of that person allowed everyone to finally express their shock and temptation to their heart's content.Even though the protagonist is no longer there, it does not affect their enthusiasm for continuing to participate in the banquet.

"I can't believe it, I didn't even hear the wind!" Abrak said to his old friend Rozier in a low voice, "How did Black girl know Lord, do you know?"

Rozier shook his head: "This time is really unexpected. I heard that the lord was present before, and my wildest guess was just a lover on a whim... or a lover. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a fiancee! Black... Could it be that he has been hiding this trick all this time? ..."

Abrak observed the situation in the venue: "Although old Black is calm, but the rest of Black don't seem to know all about it... I'm afraid it's what the lord meant."

Rozier nodded in agreement: "If you think about it, Black can't hide this hole card. It should be because the lord doesn't allow it to be publicized. However, no matter what happened before, since the lord is willing to announce it to the world this time, after the Black family... I'm afraid It's going to be transferred."

Abrak nodded in deep agreement.

Adults have their guesses, and children have their surprises.

Rodolphs' complexion was extremely bad, and he muttered to himself for a long time before he asked Mona beside him as if waking up from a dream: "This, this is... what's going on? Do you know, Mona?"

He asked several times before Mengna realized.

"No." She shook her head, frowned slightly, her tone added a trace of uncertainty, "I should...don't know."

It was a strange answer, but Rodolphus didn't notice it at all, and fell into the depression of solitary depression again.

Meng Na was carefully digesting everything she had just seen. After the initial shock, she recalled a few details before RT announced the news—to be honest, Darklord appeared, no matter how much she pretended to be attending the banquet normally, the people present Everyone is also secretly paying attention to the dynamics of rt——

Many people have seen it. Before announcing the news, rt took out the time converter worn around Bella's neck and played with it for a long time.

Is it...

Reminiscent of Bella's recent anomalies.Meng Na vaguely guessed something inside.

Could it be... is it really such a bloody development...

The banquet lasted for more than two hours when the protagonist left early, and finally ended reluctantly under the tactful reminder from the owner of the manor.

All the participants waited for the return of the hero and heroine for a long time, and they were very itchy, but they could only give up in dismay.

Everyone in the Black family was full of ambitions and looked very proud.

Sirius said triumphantly to his younger brother: "Did you hear that? What Zabini said when he left, tsk tsk, that sour tone could kill me! Hahaha..."

Regulus basically didn't understand it, but it didn't prevent him from being a cheering audience.

Narcissa said sarcastically: "It's my sister who is loved by that adult, not you, why are you smirking."

Even so, the girl couldn't hide the proud look on her face.

Even Andromeda spoke a little louder: "Not only Zabini, I think even Malfoy is much more enthusiastic today."

In the end, mother-of-pearl came out and drove the excited children to rest.

That night, Father Bei was called by the head of the family to have a secret talk again.

After the secret meeting, he saw Bella who was finally released by RT again.

Holding his daughter in his arms, Signus couldn't help but kissed her on both cheeks.

"You really surprised us all, Bella! Tell me how you did it?"

Bella finally broke free from her father's excited embrace, and replied awkwardly: "I have to go back to school tomorrow, Father."

This process, I always feel that I don’t really want others to know...
