Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Chapter 145: Find a Witch (15)

As the sole heir to the empire, Finé's annual birthday banquet should have been grand. However, the treasury was tight, and since her age was considered ordinary, she sought the advice of the king, turning the banquet for the ministers into a family feast.

She also specifically asked the king to allow her to invite her friends.

This time she came out to personally pick up Shen Jin to attend her family dinner.

The king and queen sat at the head of the table. Since it was a family dinner, they weren't wearing formal attire. Their bright yellow robes fell straight to the floor, and their gestures were casual.

The food and drinks are already prepared on the long table, and the banquet can begin as soon as the host arrives.

The Queen watched as Finne ran in. Just as she was about to make a joke, she noticed the witch Shen Jin, held by her hand, and her displeasure immediately turned. Her good mood turned to sarcasm: "I thought you were going out to pick up some noble lady, but it turns out you only brought a bard."

Shen Jin hadn't forgotten her identity as a bard. While other poets sang of ancient legends and great miracles, Shen Jin was different. Wherever she went, belief in the gods was completely uprooted, replaced by stories of mortals.

Shen Jin's stories featured more than just royalty and nobles. She also included farmers, boatmen, merchants, and more.

There was also a commoner woman who recited her poems day and night and actually rejected the marriage proposal of a noble man!

Coincidentally, this noble man was the Queen's cousin, the Grand Duke of the Empire. He was simply throwing the family's honor on the ground and trampling on it.

The Queen had always felt that Shen Jin, a homeless man, was bringing disgrace to the Imperial Family by staying in the palace. She implicitly and explicitly warned Finie to stay away from Shen Jin.

I don’t know what the king was thinking, he actually promoted her to be Finé’s teacher?

Her daughter is the jewel of the empire, is Shen Jin worthy of her?

Later, the cousin was insulted, and the Queen saw that Shen Jin was getting more and more unhappy. She even said that she would destroy her shabby stall to prevent it from polluting the palace.

Unfortunately, Shen Jin was out wandering again, seemingly having forgotten her identity as a witch. The Queen was furious for three days.

Now, at their royal family's family dinner, the family dinner of the three most powerful people in the empire, Shen Jin actually came.

How outrageous!

As soon as Shen Jin stepped in, she was shocked by the complex emotions that turned into arrows shooting towards her.

Who is so kind to give her energy when seeing how hard she works?

Although the emotions are somewhat negative and the level is not high, it can still be considered a rare pastime.

She followed the trail of the "arrow" and saw the angry queen. She smiled brightly and said, "Your Highness, are you advising me like this because you want to be the protagonist of my poem?"

Shen Jin nodded as if suddenly realizing something: "It was my mistake to forget about you. But I still need to accompany His Highness to celebrate his birthday tonight. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will spread the news of your heroic deeds throughout the empire."

The queen was furious, her chest was shaking, and she looked like she was about to collapse.

The king held her legs down before she could stand. "The queen's reputation is known throughout the empire, and she wouldn't need a few lines of poetry from you."

Shen Jin nodded naturally: "You are right."

The king looked at Finé again and said, "Why don't you take your teacher to a seat?"

Finie then breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Shen Jin to sit beside him.

She quietly leaned over: "Don't be angry."

At such a young age, Finé had already learned to read people's expressions. Shen Jin was her chosen teacher, but she had never expected her mother to dislike him so much.

"Little boy, don't worry about grown-up things."

Shen Jin stroked her moonlit silver hair and said, "You invited me tonight. I don't care what happens to them."

"I'm very happy."

The queen sat in the main seat and became increasingly dissatisfied when she saw the two heads standing so close to each other.

After spending so much time with Shen Jin, Fei Nie had lost all her manners. Was this the right time for them to gossip?

Shen Jin didn't know whether the Queen enjoyed the meal or not, but Finie was very happy, with a smile on her face.

After dinner, Shen Jin followed Finé to her bedroom.

The little princess was wearing soft pajamas, her cheeks rosy, waiting for Shen Jin to tell her the story of Fia.

Although she had never seen this "sister", she always believed that Feiya must exist and was not a fake person as the teacher said.

There's really not much to say about Fia's story. Her life is a journey that's planned every day.

Her only two acts of rebellion were to sneak out of the temple at the turn of day and night, and finally die with the whole world.

But every time, Finé would cry because of her story.

The little princess' eyes had turned a hazy smoky purple, and tears were falling on the bed, leaving wet marks.

Shen Jin always watched her cry quietly, but his eyes were filled with nostalgia.

As expected of twins, they both love to cry.

"Your Highness, it's your birthday tonight, you can't shed tears." Shen Jin said.

Finne: ...

"Bad teacher, why didn't you tell me earlier."

Shen Jin remained silent and accepted Finé's evaluation calmly.

The child was very well behaved and wiped away his tears by himself: "I've cried enough."

Shen Jin praised: "That's amazing."

Finne is an easy-to-raise child. The fact that Shen Jin has taken care of the child for several years without even thinking of leaving is enough to prove everything.

Of course she should be rewarded for being so good. Besides, today is her birthday.

Shen Jin pretended to be mysterious: "Spread your hands."

"Do you need to close your eyes?" Finé's eyes lit up instantly, and he jumped up from the bed and sat down opposite Shen Jin.

"Need not."

Shen Jin said: "Not only do you not need to, you also have to watch it carefully."

"I will!"

Shen Jin's fingertips flew, and several repeated hand seals disappeared in an instant.

Finé didn't know what was happening, but she felt a pang of anxiety. She stared at Shen Jin's flying afterimage, her hands tightly grasping the hem of her skirt.

She didn't know why her heart was beating so fast, and she didn't dare move for fear of disturbing Shen Jin.

Cold sweat just appeared on Shen Jin's forehead, but it was blown away by the silent breeze. She still looked calm, as if she was simply showing off the dexterity of her hands.

Suddenly, Finé's room fell into complete darkness.

Her breathing stagnated, and she couldn't help but let out a scream, followed by a few heavy gasps.

"do not be afraid."

Shen Jin's voice was a little soft, but it still reached Fresnel's ears.

Even though it was pitch dark at night, Finé nodded subconsciously.

"Look."

Shen Jin finally opened her covered hands. Countless golden points of light surged out from her palms.

Golden light floated up and down, completely illuminating the darkness of the room. They sometimes drifted quietly in one direction, or swirled like the wind.

Finé subconsciously stretched out his hands and held up a ball of light in his hands.

After being touched by Finé, the light spot quietly brushed against her palm.

"Don't close your eyes."

Shen Jin reached out and put his hand on Finé's shoulder.

Finé felt that she would remember this night until her death.

The dark and extremely sticky space was filled with glittering golden light.

Golden light began to gather.

It turned into a huge beam of light, illuminating Shen Jin's smiling eyes.

Shen Jin stood up at some point and gently opened his arms.

The beam was stunned.

It froze in the void for a few seconds before reacting and eagerly pounced on Shen Jin.

Then, the golden dots scattered again, like stars, covering her body.
