False Court
Side Story 6
World New Era, June 18, 1633.
God-Creating Star, rear garden of the God-Concealing Residence.
Rows of towering green-hidden trees shielded the sun in the sky. Sparse sunlight filtered through the emerald leaves, casting a gentle glow.
The air was filled with a faint fragrance, and the ground was paved with uneven, rustic cobblestones.
Beside the huge lake in the backyard stood an exquisite pavilion.
Ikaroya, dressed in a pristine white palace gown, leaned back in her chair, gazing blankly at the shimmering surface of the lake.
A gentle breeze stirred, ruffling the strands of hair at her temples.
In the distance, several maids whispered among themselves.
"The front hall is so lively. Are there so many people here proposing?"
"More than that, they're practically lined up in a long dragon. I heard that dignitaries and emperors from both Special-Class and First-Class nations have come to propose to Goli."
"Alas, it's a pity that no one is proposing to Ikaroya."
"How could there be? They can't avoid her fast enough."
"That's true."
...
Inside the front hall.
Ikalofa, Berylosa, Phare, the Moon Emperor, the Star Emperor, Kalimi Shenhui, and others were all present.
They and Goli were hosting the visiting nobles and dignitaries, and the scene was incredibly lively.
The caliber of the people present was even higher than that of a national conference.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door.
"Grand Elder has arrived!"
Everyone's gaze turned to the door, where the wizened Grand Elder Mori, supported by his grandson, entered with a beaming smile.
"Oh, isn't that Mori? What wind blew you in here?"
Kalimi Shenhui said with great curiosity.
The wizened Mori chuckled and said,
"My grandson has reached the age, so I'm sacrificing my old face to try and arrange a marriage."
"Aiming for Goli?"
"Naturally."
"Aren't you ashamed? Aren't you competing with me? My son is still single."
Kalimi Shenhui couldn't help but complain.
"Council Speaker, you can't say that. It all depends on skill. My grandson is very handsome. Klifa, come and greet them!"
Mori said with a smile.
A young man in a white shirt and black suit, with an exceptionally outstanding appearance and bearing, stepped forward.
"Greetings, Council Speaker, Lord Ikalofa, Moon Emperor..."
Klifa respectfully greeted everyone.
"Indeed, a man of extraordinary talent."
Ikalofa said admiringly.
"Would it be possible for him to have a private chat with Goli?"
Mori said with a smile.
At this time, the Moon Emperor coldly said to Goli,
"Go."
"Yes."
Goli bowed slightly in response.
Klifa gestured politely to Goli, and the two walked towards a corner.
Berylosa watched this scene with envy. She nudged Ikalofa with her elbow and complained in a low voice,
"Don't just focus on Goli. What about Xiaoya?"
"Hey, I'm not just focusing on Goli. The problem is that no one is proposing to her, so there's nothing I can do."
Ikalofa smiled wryly. As soon as he mentioned Ikaroya, everyone shook their heads like rattles.
"What about that Su Mo from the Negative Universe that you mentioned before? Where is he? I heard he's already married. Look at what you've done."
Berylosa complained directly.
"Cough, it was just a mistake."
Ikalofa said with a wry smile. He was truly helpless.
"You're just not attentive. You're making me angry."
Berylosa was furious, and kept nagging Ikalofa in a low voice.
Ikalofa's head was aching.
Just then, Pike rushed in excitedly and said to Ikalofa and the others,
"Boss, someone wants to propose to Ikaroya."
"See? Isn't someone proposing?"
Ikalofa said quickly, as if he had found a life-saving straw.
Kalimi Shenhui, standing to the side, was also very surprised.
"Did I hear wrong? Proposing to Ikaroya? Pike, are you mistaken?"
"No, how could I be mistaken?"
Pike said confidently.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. If someone is proposing to Ikaroya, I'll write my name backwards."
Kalimi Shenhui said firmly.
At this time, Death Star, standing on Berylosa's shoulder, also joined in the fun, patting his chest and said,
"Absolutely mistaken. If it's true, I'll eat ten tons of poop."
Berylosa's face, which had just shown a trace of joy, immediately turned worried again.
"Pike, is it true?"
"Absolutely true, the person is almost here."
Pike said with great certainty.
"Alright, since Pike said so, it must be true. The person is almost here. We should at least have Ikaroya come out, and basic hospitality is necessary."
Phare said calmly.
"That's right, Phare, go and ask Xiaoya to come out."
Ikalofa nodded, agreeing.
"Okay."
Phare nodded and headed towards the backyard.
At the lakeside pavilion.
Ikaroya quietly gazed at the lake, a trace of melancholy on her cold face.
For some reason, ever since the Negative God Star incident ended, she felt empty inside.
"What are you spacing out about?"
Phare walked to Ikaroya's side and asked with a smile.
"Nothing. Is something the matter, Grandpa Phare?"
Ikaroya came back to her senses and shook her head in response when she saw it was Phare.
Phare didn't ask any further and said with a smile,
"You might have to go to the front hall. Someone has proposed to you."
Ikaroya frowned slightly upon hearing this and said coldly,
"No interest."
"Even if you're not interested, you still have to go through the motions. After all, the people who come are basically our own."
Phare said with a smile.
"I understand."
Ikaroya's expression changed for a moment, and she replied coldly.
"Let's go."
Phare said with a light smile.
......
Before long, Phare and Ikaroya arrived at the front hall.
For a moment, the originally lively hall fell silent.
Many of the guests present whispered among themselves.
"I heard that someone is proposing to Ikaroya?"
"Who is it? So brave?"
"Not sure, let's see in a moment."
......
Berylosa saw Ikaroya and quickly reached out to take her hand, having her stand by her side, and whispered to persuade,
"I know you might be very resistant, but don't rush to refuse. Meet the person later and see if he's suitable. If he's not, then we'll talk."
"I understand."
Ikaroya replied with a frown.
Just like that, time passed.
But no one came in sight for a long time.
The people present whispered among themselves.
"Where's the person?"
"Why haven't we seen him for so long?"
"Could it be that he ran away halfway?"
......
Berylosa's expression darkened as she listened to the whispers.
Ikalofa kept comforting her.
"Don't worry, maybe he'll come in a moment."
Death Star was extremely excited at this time, jumping and saying,
"I told you, no one would come."
As soon as he finished speaking, Phare reached out and flicked Death Star off Berylosa's shoulder.
Kalimi also wanted to laugh, but Rabeveis nudged him with his elbow, signaling him to hold it back.
Kalimi forcibly suppressed it.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion at the door, and someone exclaimed,
"He's here."
Instantly, in the lively hall, everyone automatically cleared a path, and everyone curiously looked over, wanting to see who was so valiant.
Su Mo and Krook hurriedly walked in.
When he entered the hall, Su Mo was instantly stunned as he looked at the lively hall.
What's going on?
Even if he was stupid, he could tell that this was not the Hall of Judgment at all, but more like a banquet.
Many of the guests present looked at Su Mo and began to discuss.
"Who is this?"
"Never seen him before!"
......
Su Mo turned his head and asked Krook in a low voice,
"Krook, what's going on? Didn't you say Ikaroya was being judged?"
"Cough cough, don't blame me, I was only entrusted to trick you into coming, I was also very troubled!"
Krook explained unnaturally.
Su Mo was stunned after hearing Krook's words, looking at him with an incredulous expression.
He didn't expect Krook to deceive him.
Krook then said to Su Mo,
"Hurry up and go forward, they're all waiting for you."
Su Mo's head was dizzy, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked towards the front of the hall.
The onlookers whispered along the way.
"This is the person who came to propose to Ikaroya? Doesn't seem to be anything special, just a little more handsome."
......
Su Mo immediately understood what was going on when he heard the people along the way discussing, and for a moment his heart was very flustered and restrained.
Ikalofa looked at Su Mo walking over and said excitedly, patting his thigh,
"See! I said someone would come."
"It's good that he came."
Berylosa was also very happy.
Ikaroya was also stunned as she looked at Su Mo walking over, her eyes slightly moved.
Soon Su Mo walked up to Ikaroya.
The two looked at each other, neither speaking, and the atmosphere seemed unusually awkward.
Everyone present was watching Su Mo.
At this time, Su Mo took a deep breath and said to Ikalofa and the others,
"Hello everyone, I am Su Mo, I am here to propose to Ikaroya!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room exploded.
"No way, he really came to propose!"
"Really? Empty-handed, he really came to propose?"
"Are you stupid, what would he bring?"
"That's true."
......
Kalimi Shenhui looked at this scene, his mouth slightly agape, with a dull expression on his face.
"It's over, my name is really going to be written backwards."
Rabeveis shook his head helplessly.
Death Star's eyes rolled back and he fainted with foam at the mouth.
The Moon Emperor and Star Emperor next to them were also staring at Su Mo, looking back and forth.
At this time, Ikaroya was silent after hearing Su Mo's words, not speaking for a long time.
For a moment, the two of them were stiff.
Ikalofa saw this and quickly said with a smile,
"Young people, don't be nervous, how about going for a walk in the back and chatting!"
"Okay, okay."
Su Mo came back to his senses and quickly responded.
Ikaroya didn't say much, and walked straight towards the backyard, Su Mo quickly followed.
Soon the two came to the backyard, and they walked towards the lake.
However, neither of them spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere seemed unusually awkward.
Finally, Ikaroya opened her mouth and said, "How is the Negative Universe doing?"
"Cough cough, it's doing pretty well over there. The countries that originally migrated have all returned. I turned the Ring of Stars into a cradle, and now all the countries are recuperating. In addition, the Negative Universe has resources everywhere due to the Negative God Star exploding..."
Su Mo opened the floodgates and kept reporting the situation to Ikaroya.
Ikaroya didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and said,
"It's good that everyone is doing well."
"Lord Ikaroya..."
Su Mo was interrupted halfway through his sentence.
"Still calling me 'Lord'?"
Ikaroya looked ahead and asked.
"Uh, Ikaroya, when are you going back? Everyone is looking forward to you going back."
Su Mo was also stunned, and then quickly changed his words and asked.
At this time, Ikaroya stopped, turned her head to look at Su Mo, and asked calmly,
"This time you came, is it because everyone wants me to go back, or do you want me to go back?"
Su Mo froze upon hearing Ikaroya's words, his heart pounding wildly. All the memories of the past with Ikaroya constantly flashed back.
Ikaroya quietly looked at Su Mo, and a hint of anticipation seemed to appear in her cold eyes.
"It's me."
Su Mo finally said.
"Good!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Ikaroya's mouth as she extended her hand to Su Mo.
Su Mo then reached out and took Ikaroya's hand.
At this time, Goli, who was walking with Klifa in the distance, happened to see this scene. She couldn't help but stop, and a complex expression appeared on her delicate face.
