Why it never ends

Chapter 937 Chloe

Although the three Eucalyptus did not give a verbal response, Trion keenly sensed a hint of resistance from them - these young people did not seem to be very enthusiastic about his suggestion of "making an enemy of Kendai".

"No matter how urgent this matter actually is, it is a new and big thing for you today. You need time to think about it. I understand. After all, today is your first day in Emanlia." Trion clasped his hands together and rubbed his palms gently on his chest. "Your friend is right. Let's eat first!"

Several people stood up with Trion. At first, Eucalyptus was a little worried that they would be taken to the open-air dance party where they came from, but fortunately, Trion only led them to another magnificent room.

They walked around the dining room. There were many peculiar little things on the walls and tables. Tryon said they were souvenirs he and his daughters bought from all over the world when they traveled.

"You know, many people don't want girls to go too far," Trion said to Eucalyptus, "I never think so. I have taken them to travel everywhere since they were very young - it is good for their souls."

Eucalyptus nodded and quickly turned his eyes to the other side.

Not far from her, Hesta stopped in front of a porcelain plate. It was clearly a District 14 style item. Hesta didn't know how to estimate its specific price, but he could feel that it was probably worth a lot of money.

Rico stopped beside Hesta as if nothing had happened: "What were you thinking about just now?"

"I'm just confused. I thought Office 5 sent me here because they couldn't find another mercury needle to come here." Hesta said softly, "Put my resume and Kende's together. Any normal person would know that Kende should be chosen..."

"Why are you so unsure of yourself—"

"It's not a question of confidence, it's a question of experience. She started to move around in the habitable area when she was 31." Hesta glanced in Trion's direction. "If such a person stays in District 12 for a day, I'm afraid the baron and his governor will not be able to live in peace for a day..."

"So what are you going to do," Rico whispered, "Be Kendai's deputy?"

Hesta laughed, "She doesn't need me as a deputy, she needs me to disappear."

Suddenly, Hesta and Rico both noticed hurried footsteps. They stopped talking and looked towards the entrance of the dining room.

"father!"

An angry voice suddenly sounded, causing Trion and Eucalyptus to stop talking at the same time and turn towards the source of the voice.

A girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen was standing at the door with her skirt lifted up, looking angry and sad. Her cheeks were red and there were traces of tears on her face.

Trion was a little surprised: "What are you doing Chloe, don't you see there are guests at home-"

The girl had already rushed to her father: "Why didn't Kovicik come!"

"What……"

"Why didn't Kovicik come? Didn't you tell him that today was my fifteenth birthday? Didn't you tell him how much the ball meant to me?"

"Oh, he didn't come?" Tryon blinked. "If he doesn't come, then he doesn't come—"

"I don't!" The girl grabbed her father's arm. "Tell me, did you really give him the invitation? Did you tell him that I wanted to dance the first dance with him? I must know whether he missed it accidentally or did he not come on purpose-"

"Chloe! Stop!" Fatima came hurriedly from the end of the corridor, "You shouldn't come to disturb your father's guests!" "Kovicik didn't come!" The girl shouted in despair, "Why don't you understand? If he doesn't come, what's the point of this dance!"

Trion held his daughter's shoulders lovingly and took her aside. "Listen to me, honey. He may have encountered some emergency..."

"He didn't call me or leave me a message! He promised you before, didn't he? He said he would come and dance the first dance with me--"

“Chloe!” Fatima’s voice became even more stern. “Get out of here with me! Don’t disturb your father’s meeting with guests!”

"Okay Fatima, why are you so strict with the child?" Trion looked back at Eucalyptus and smiled, "This is what happens at this age."

Trion took the handkerchief from Fatima and wiped his daughter's tears. "Okay, Chloe, even if there is no news today, he will always come to explain to you in two days..."

"What's the use of that, Dad! Didn't you hear how Sheena and the others laughed at me! They said that Kovicik didn't take me seriously at all and that he never liked me in his heart!"

"Oh my god, listen, Chloe - I'm sure you're the most special girl in Kovichijk's heart, and your sister is crazy to say that -"

"She's not crazy! She secretly wrote a love letter to Kovichik last year. Did she think I didn't know? But Kovichik didn't even look at her and returned the letter intact... She just wants to see me make a fool of myself so that she can feel better!"

Trion laughed.

Chloe's crying gradually subsided as she listened to her father's laughter. She looked at her father, waiting for his solution with both worry and anticipation.

"Listen, listen, Chloe, if Xena really thinks so, you can't run away from your birthday party." Trion said gently, "There must be many people waiting for you to go back, waiting to invite you to dance - even the first dance."

The girl's tears finally stopped. She looked at her father, as if thinking about something.

"Tomorrow, Dad, go to the palace to see what Kovicik is busy with, okay?" Trion said with a smile, "I think he was probably summoned by His Majesty at short notice, so he got stuck on the road."

Yugali turned back in disbelief: "...What did he say? Your Majesty?"

"Yeah." Rico nodded.

"Are you talking about the emperor?" Yujiali was even more shocked. "District 12 still has an emperor?"

"Yes, there has always been one in District 12, but it doesn't have much presence. It's just a mascot." Rico said softly, "It usually stays in the palace. It comes out during festivals to show its face and greet the people."

"It seems like someone changed last year?" Hesta said.

"Yes, the current emperor is a ten-year-old child," Rico folded his arms, "Theoretically, you need to go and greet him during the week you officially take office."

Not far away, the girl who had been crying started laughing again. She lifted her skirt and said goodbye to her father, then turned around and ran back to her own dance.

"What should I say, Fatima?" Trion's face turned completely cold. In a corner that Eucalyptus and the others couldn't see, his expression was extremely stern. "Don't let this happen again."

Oh, sorry for the late update again today!
