Sure enough, after countess thought for a while, she suddenly looked up as if she had made an important decision. She did not care about her husband's loss of self-control. Instead, she walked slowly to Lee Xiang's side with light steps. There was a trace of gentleness in her eyes.
Lee Xiang could see that this was the gaze of a kind mother looking at her son! In an instant, his heart trembled again. He knew that his chance had come!
"My child. . . Don't worry! I have missed the opportunity for eighteen years. I have been silent for eighteen years. This time, I will not let go of it easily. . . " countess stretched out her trembling hands, trying to touch Lee Xiang's face, which was very similar to hers. She even paused for a while. It could be seen that in her heart, she was also very excited after making this decision.
Lee Xiang gently moved his head to the side and avoided countess's hands. He was not used to it. It should be that he was not used to this kind of intimate action!
A trace of shame flashed in countess's eyes. Her beautiful face was full of sadness. It was all because of her weakness that Lee Xiang could not blame others for his behavior.
"Don't say death so easily. Your life is yours. No one can force you to take it away! I promise you. . . I will protect you well. I will let you leave this place and live the life you want. . . "
" No. . . This absolutely won't do! " Count Walker was slightly shocked and blurted out. Of course he knew where the other place his wife was talking about was.
Countess still wanted to speak, but Count Walker waved his hand. "Let's change the topic and discuss it somewhere else. . . Okay?"
Countess looked at Lee Xiang and Reynolds and sighed. In the end, she still nodded. No matter what, her husband was still the head of the family.
Seeing that his wife had finally relented, Count Walker let out a long sigh of relief. He turned to look at Lee Xiang with a complicated look in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he said loudly, "William. . . "
"Father, master!!" William came in in a flash. Obviously, he had been standing at the door all this time.
"Beat him twenty times hard! Don't show any mercy!" A hint of determination flashed in Count Walker's eyes. He looked at Lee Xiang with a gloomy expression.
"Also, give me this damn thing. . . " Count Walker's eyes shifted to the ancient zither in front of Lee Xiang. Just as he was about to speak, countess's pleading eyes came over and his heart softened. . . . "Forget it!"
Just as he finished speaking, Count flashed out of the door. Countess first turned her head to look at Lee Xiang and gave him a reassuring look before following him out.
However, Reynolds's expression when he went out in the end was the most strange one to Lee Xiang, because he clearly felt that Reynolds actually smiled at him and even blinked his eyes!
Obviously, this smile seemed to have some goodwill! Although it was very different from his gloomy face, Lee Xiang could still clearly feel it.
. . . 。
In most of the countries in Osman Continent, there would be three special days worth remembering. The reason why he said that was because there were actually many races in the entire continent. In a multi-religious continent, there were a few countries that had completely different beliefs and even had conflicts.
The first of the three memorial days was the God's Grace Day. It was rumored that this day was the date of the birth of the Goddess of Myriad Gods. It was also the day of the Goddess' grace. This happened to be the first day of the traditional New Year in Osman Continent! And every day on this day, In the entire continent, no matter if it was the high-level people, Or lowly people, they take a bath in fasting for a day. As a sign of respect for the goddess, of course, they hoped that the goddess would bestow grace upon them! The slightly more pious ones would travel thousands of miles to the "Holy City" for a pilgrimage! This "Holy City" Actually, it was a small town called Dazs in the middle of Reiss Empire. The reason why it was called "Holy City was because it was located in a small town called Holy City in the middle of Reiss Empire. " Therefore, for thousands of years, people had forgotten its original name, Dazs. It was called the "Holy City. " What was worth mentioning was that there was a "temple" in this "Holy City! That was where the church's headquarters was located! As the only spokesperson of the goddess on the continent, there was no doubt that they had the right to do so! Hence, the" Holy City "that gathered many privileges naturally had an unparalleled status on the continent! At this point, it was clearly beyond the boundaries of countries, and even above the laws of each country! It was just like a country in Reiss Empire! Because the tentacles of Reiss Empire could not reach here at all. Everything was under the control of the Holy Church, so it had been a long time. The entire Osman Continent tacitly approved of everything here.
Next was the Autumn Festival! This festival was also very important in the entire continent. Every autumn symbolized the harvest season. When everyone ended their busy year, The fruits of the harvest naturally had to be celebrated. On this day, everyone would sing and dance to celebrate their good harvest. So strictly speaking, This day was actually the happiest day for everyone. Of course, the prerequisite was that they had to harvest!
Finally, it was an extremely special day, God's Punishment Day! This festival was quite interesting. Legend had it that on this day, after the goddess dealt with her most powerful enemy, It was a day specially set up to punish those who harbored evil thoughts in their hearts. And on this day, everyone had to cut off all social interactions, forfeiting food, drinking, and temporarily stopping their desires. They couldn't even speak loudly. They were wholeheartedly honest with the goddess about their sins, even if it was just a tiny bit, they would still ask for the forgiveness of the goddess! What was worth mentioning was that at the final moment of this day, there would be an extremely mysterious activity, which was to burn down a huge painting of a dragon at the end. This will represent the end of the ceremony. To be honest, Lee Xiang had always been very puzzled by this. In his previous country, dragons were things that represented mascot and the demeanor of kings. However, when he arrived in this world, it was actually the opposite, because according to what he knew, Such an outcome made Lee Xiang depressed for a long time, because as the descendant of a dragon, He had always been very proud of himself, and this sudden change was unacceptable to him. However, he flipped through all of the official history. There was also another strange saying, because on this day of the God's Punishment Day, It was the day after the goddess dealt with her most powerful enemy, so this day actually had the intention of punishing and warning her enemies.
Of course, there were also some other small celebrations, but. . . These official colors weren't very thick. They were all organized by the people themselves!
However, in the Reiss Empire, besides these three major festivals, there was another major festival - the Empire's National Day Ceremony! Strictly speaking, it might even be more intense than the first three festivals!
In a few days, the Reiss Empire's National Day Ceremony would be held! Every year on this day, the imperial capital would hold a grand celebration ceremony. Moreover, there would be a grand military parade in the imperial capital's imperial square! At that time, regardless of whether it was the wealthy or noble families in the imperial capital, they would hold a grand military parade! Or common folk, or even lower race people can watch as they please. Another thing worth mentioning was that. . . The ambassadors of the various countries in Osman Continent would also attend the ceremony!
This series of actions had a lot of room for discussion. Apart from showing the prosperity of the empire to the citizens of Reyes, there was also a lot of room for discussion. Perhaps it was still a warning to the riot of some lower races, because this had always been a hidden danger in Reiss Empire! Otherwise, the rulers of the empire would not allow the people of lower races to watch. In addition, they would invite the envoys from various countries stationed in the Reiss Empire to watch the ceremony. He was afraid that it would be a bit of a show of force. Of course, most of it was also a warning to them not to interfere in the internal strife of the empire and not indirectly support the empire's lower races in rebellion!
