Chapter 504: Prologue

"Where did this child come from? You want a bride before your hair has even finished growing? Quit joking around!" Xiao Lin looked like he was joking, but his tone was sharp.

The entire banquet suddenly fell silent. When Xiao Lin called him a child, everyone, from the scantily clad succubi to the crowd talking about official matters, had turned around in shock, and all of their expressions changed.

Valen's gentlemanly smile froze on his face. The boy did not just look young. He was actually quite young. Youth was never an advantage in the dark world. The youth were often met with undisguised mockery in these circles, which was why Ibeiya had not received any attention when she came in.

Future bride? A fiancee!
