Chapter 1697


    The king cast a displeased look at the high priest beside him.


    However, the high priest did not even look at him.


    In short, the king had no intention of letting Lucy be the royal concubine.


    The pce chief said, "If that''s so, it''s all right.Your Majesty, the next test is fortune-telling.The


    Cyanians are good at this.I believe his daughter won''t disappoint"


    "Okay.What do you know about her specialty?" the king asked.


    "I''ve checked.She is good at geomancy.We only need to ask rted questionster.And the daughter


    of Mordunian is good in phrenology.That''s easy too" the chief pceforted.


    Only then did the king heave a sigh of relief.


    Even though fortune-telling was a mysterious thing, it was somehow well-proven.


    After all, it had a history of over a thousand years.


    Many things were influenced by it.


    With that, the final round began.


    Like the pce chief expected, after they asked the first geomancy question, thedy from Cyanian


    furrowed her brows after first nce.


    "Mr.Priest, this is not a good location.Water is an essential element in geomancy.Mountains surround


    this ce on all sides.And it is filled with sands below.It is a bad spot!"


    The sixteen-year-old girl pointed at a spot on the sand table.Her statement left the entire altar in


    absolute bewilderment.


    The cemetery was the tomb of the chief of an ethnic group in the tribe.


    However, it had been hundreds of years.It was precisely because of this tomb that the ethnic group


    perished.


    The king and the high priest showed much admiration for this bright youngdy.


    Lucy''s gaze darkened as she saw that.


    Next was thedy from Mordunian, who was also a promising candidate.She scanned the surroundings


    and suddenly locked her eyes on the king''s face.


    Instantly, her expression changed.


    "What''s going on? Do you want to read phrenology for me?"


    The king acted quite friendly toward her.It seemed he had already considered her as his future


    daughter-inw.Thedy from Mordunian immediately knelt before him.


    "I wouldn''t dare to.But, I see some bad omens from your Majesty''s face.I..."


    "Are you cursing the king?"


    All of a sudden, a cold voice interrupted her.Thedy from Mordunian immediately lifted her head.Her


    face paled in fright.


    "N-No, that''s not what I meant..."


    "No? Then why did you say such a thing? Did you see dark shadows on the king''s forehead and the


    sunken cheekbones, so you derived that it was the omen of death?"


    Lucy stood up and used thedy of Mordunian, who was wearing a Phoenix Cor.She tried to


    embarrass thetter in front of the crowd.


    At that instant, everyone at the altar went into an uproar.It is our king she is talking about.How could


    she say something so bold without any proof? Everyone stared at thedy who was still kneeling on the


    ground.


    Meanwhile, the king''s expression darkened after hearing what she said.


    "What nonsense are you talking about?"


    "I...I." she choked on her words.


    "Your Majesty, please don''t be mad.I know a little about phrenology too.My mother used to be a famous


    fortune-teller back in Elysium.She had taught me a lot.Why don''t you let me have a look?"


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Lucy even started to rmend herself in the end.


    Holy cr*p.


    Does she know phrenology too? The crowd around the altar paled upon seeing that scene.


    Riley had a bad feeling about it too.


    Lucy walked toward the king, knelt, and touched the king''s hand for a while.


    As expected, she used a different statement to overturn what thedy of Mordunian had said just now.


    "Your Majesty, you definitely don''t have the omen of death.Nheless, it is time that you take care of


    your body.As you have been enjoying life too much, therger acupoints in your body were blocked."


    "Really?"


    The king was pleased to hear that.


    "Of course.Why don''t you let me perform acupuncture on you? You will recover in no time"


    With that, Lucy took out a long thin needle from her pocket.


    At this point, it was almost confirmed that Lucy would be the one winning thispetition.She had an


    advantage in fortune-telling, and she even possessed medical knowledge.


    Undoubtedly, she was the best candidate for the future concubine.


    The entire altar was overwhelmed with rage.


    Everyone from the two tribes was stomping their feet in wrath.


    However, the king was smiling in satisfaction.


    The crowd knew they could do nothing to eliminate Lucy.


    Riley was beyond enraged as well.She shifted her gaze toward Kurt.She was bewildered to see him


    still indifferent as usual.


    He looked as though the whole episode had nothing to do with him.


    This fellow! When Riley could not bear to watch the oue and was ready to leave, a loud humming


    sound suddenly appeared above her head.


    What is that? The crowd immediately lifted their heads, including Riley.


    Everyone was left in awe as they saw a helicopter appearing in the sky.


    It was descending slowly toward the altar.


    Holy sh*t.


    What is going on now? Riley widened her eyes in bewilderment.


    Upon seeing that scene, Kurt, who had been emotionless, finally showed some emotional turbulence


    on his face.


    After the helicopter finallynded, ady wearing a snow-white dress and a princess crown came


    out.Kurt was overwhelmed with shock.


    "What''s with the hurry? I''m not even here yet.Mr.King, do you think the Jadesons can not bepared


    to the minorities in your tribe?" Vivian said.
