"Your Highness, I can't accompany you for this ceremony. I wish you a safe journey.”
Albert opened the door for Qin Lou.
Qin Lou turned around and patted the shoulder of the dutiful old butler. Then, he got into a black Rolls-Royce.
After the car drove out of the manor, two police cars guarded Qin Lou's car in the middle. When they arrived at Versailles Palace, they finally arrived at the banquet hall after going through layers of security checks.
In the magnificent hall, celebrities and dignitaries of all skin colors gathered in twos and threes. There were many familiar figures among them.
Qin Lou took a glass of champagne and sat in a corner. His gaze swept across the crowd. Logically speaking, this was a place that many people dreamed of coming to.
But for some reason.
Qin Lou actually felt a little bored.
After half an hour, the gate was pushed open by the guards. The current King of France, his family, the Prime Minister, and other high-ranking officials walked in. After greeting a few important guests, Qin Lou followed the crowd out to the Champs Elysées.
In the crowd, Qin Lou turned his head and saw Elizabeth, who was dressed in a light yellow gown, looking at him.
Seeing that he was also looking over, Elizabeth stuck out her tongue at him from a place where no one could see. Then, she turned her head and smiled as if nothing had happened.
Qin Lou took a deep breath and suppressed his restless heart. He blended into the crowd and boarded the car at the door like a small transparent person.
As the military parade was approaching, the streets on both sides were filled with many French people. The convoy also placed many celebrities and politicians on a low stand.
To be honest, this was very disappointing.
Qin Lou was looking forward to watching the military parade on the balcony of Versailles Palace, but now he felt like a middle school student listening to the principal's speech on the playground.
It was…very low.
"Sir, this is your seat."
Qin Lou followed the man in the black suit to the first row. He looked at the seat in the middle and was a little surprised.
This was the center position that even many politicians did not get.
In fact, that was indeed the case. Seeing such a young and unfamiliar Asian man sitting in the first row, many people behind him began to be curious about Qin Lou's identity.
"Sir, who is that young man?”A middle-aged man who was sitting later asked a man in a black suit beside him.
"Him? He seems to be a classmate of Her Highness Elizabeth, and he comes from the same country as you.”
Hearing this, the man who asked the question raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Although Asians were not as ostracized as before, there was still a barrier between them and many European and American students.
Now that someone could break through this barrier and develop a deep friendship with the core figures of the French royal family, this made him feel deeply interested.
……
Qin Lou, who was sitting in the first row, knew that he had attracted a lot of attention, but he didn't feel much of a stir in his heart.
Because he had already made up his mind to leave this place after today, although he was a little reluctant…
However, ever since he set foot on this path, he had never thought that he could never turn back. He was destined to live as a shadow.
After a while, other than the king, the members of the royal family, the prime minister, and other political figures also arrived. Among them…naturally, Elizabeth was included.
Qin Lou was only two seats away from her.
However, it was this short distance that made him feel irritated.
On the dot.
The French National Anthem was played, and then the King sat in his carriage and began to inspect his army.
After seeing the military appearance of his country, Qin Lou was not interested in these loose phalanxes. After a few long hours, the convoy took everyone back to Versailles Palace.
Because there was a banquet tonight.
After the military parade, many political figures bid farewell and left. The atmosphere in the banquet hall was obviously much more relaxed. Many people who knew each other gathered to discuss cooperation and reminisce about the past.
Only Qin Lou was still the same as before, sitting alone in a corner so that ordinary people could not notice his existence.
"My fellow countryman, isn't it boring to be alone?”
Suddenly, a kind voice came from the front.
Qin Lou raised his head and recognized who this person was without thinking.
Ambassador to France, Li Kuan.
"Hello, Uncle Li."
Qin Lou quickly got up and said apologetically,"I forgot to greet you. I'm really sorry."”
Li Kuan shook his head indifferently."It's okay. I know that these old men's gatherings make you a little uncomfortable, but there will be a lot of young people at the dinner party. They are all nobles from France.”
"Why did they come at night?" Qin Lou was curious.
"Because Princess Elizabeth will be here tonight.”
“……”
After chatting with Li Kuan for a long time, Qin Lou told him about his own situation. Of course…all of this was basically fake.
Before he left, Li Kuan gave him a business card.
"Call me whenever you need help.”
"Thank you, Uncle Li.”
After Li Kuan left, Qin Lou looked at the name card in his hand and smiled.
