[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298: The Dark Night And The Shimmering Moon

Wrapped in layered robes of shimmering silver-blue, Xion looked like winter personified.

His outer coat, lined with soft white fox fur, brushed gently against his slightly flushed cheeks.

Jewels were embroidered into his garments, and delicate chains adorned his swan-like neck and slender fingers.

His thin waist was cinched with special golden chains that jingled slightly with each step.

Yet none could rival the sheer beauty of his deep blue eyes that seemed to hold the entire world in them.

When Xion looked at the attendees with his usual smile, they couldn’t help but stammer in response.

It felt as though Xion was truly looking at them—not at their clothes or social standing, but at them. If one stared at you with such a pure gaze, how could their heart not beat?

They all collectively thought that it wasn’t that Xion got lucky as the ministers had been saying. On the contrary, it was their lord, the Archduke, who somehow managed to snatch the blessing of the goddess.

Darius was the lucky one.

With that thought, their actions to make Xion look the most gorgeous being intensified.

As sand trickled down the slender neck of the hourglass, the moment to be escorted arrived.

Xion had been told that due to the urgency of the marriage, there weren’t many people who were invited.

Fewer people meant less trouble. With that mentality, he followed the knight commander, who respectfully took him to the venue.

At his left walked Noxian, his usually tousled hair neatly styled to resemble that of a young nobleman.

Even without asking Xion could tell that this kid was trying to dress as a noble knight.

Dressed in a high-collared white robe, with golden embroidery on the cuffs and collar, Noxian suddenly looked taller than before. With his broad shoulders, and his waist clinched with a golden sash, he should have appeared mature.

But that silly booming smile on his face made him more like a little prince with a sunny smile than a dignified knight.

Noticing his gaze, Noxian turned to look, his purple hair bouncing along with his sudden actions. Without wasting a second, a bright smile appeared on his face.

Xion couldn’t help but laugh as he patted the puppy’s curls. Really like a sunny child.

He shook his head at the confused look on the child’s face and then sighed.

He had been trying to distract himself, trying to remain focused. Still, something within him remained disoriented. The sweat on his palms had started to worry him a bit.

Without much thought, he rubbed it against the expensive robe that felt heavy on his shoulders.

It felt unnatural to him.

I’ve never felt this way before, he thought silently as he moved his feet on the carpet-covered ground. First right and then left, placing in front of the other, one at a time.

He felt both lightheaded and giddy. Was he straining himself? Perhaps yes.

But could he stop himself from worrying about getting his feet entangled in the carpet and kissing the floor right in front of all the guests who were waiting just across those huge closed doors? Absolutely no.

"Brother," Noxian leaned closer to his ears and whispered like a thief. "You look so stunningly handsome. I bet your lover will get a heat stroke right on the spot."

Xion’s lips twitched. Well, he had only himself to blame for teaching Noxian such strange turns of phrase.

He couldn’t help it when his modern soul would take control of his tongue. Thinking about all the strange idioms Noxian had taught him, his smile widened slightly.

Nonetheless, the purple-haired brat wasn’t done yet. His closeness made Ray’s grip clench on the sword handle, but there was not a single change in his dignified expression.

"What if he ends up embarrassing you? How about we ditch him- Aww!"

’Shut up before I throw you into the barracks.’

The back of his head seemed to say, ’Fine. I’ll listen to you this once.’

Especially this dark castle that seemed to eat the golden lights.
