Chapter 284 - 6.44 Mass Prayer
Lu Yizhou should have known that Jillian wanted to make him a gold statue. His lover wouldn’t accept anything less for him.
Alas, just thinking about it was enough to send goosebumps on his entire body. Worse, the male protagonist, His Highness Prince Hayden, out of loyalty to his General, had proposed to have the best craftsman carve Regius’ miniature out of gemstones and sell it on the market as a protective charm. Fortunately, with a little coaxing here and there that involved kissing and making out with Jillian until his mind turned into paste, Lu Yizhou succeeded in talking him out of it.
Lu Yizhou wasn’t told at all how the statue was going to turn out until the very same day when Jillian was going to make an announcement.
(He thought anything was better than the ostentatious gold. It was truly negligence on his part.)
And that was how he almost got a heart attack when Jillian brought him out to a piece of vast, undeveloped land that had now become a massive temple with four main pillars made of gold as the foundation. Even from afar, he could already see the shine reflected on the royal family and the Duke’s insignia that was carved on the luxurious gate. A huge, antique chandelier hung from the ceiling as soon as they stepped in, inlaid with many precious gemstones and the floor was polished so meticulously that they could see their reflection on it.
"You told me not to make you into a gold statue," Jillian said as if sensing Lu Yizhou’s speechlessness. He had a smug look on his face like a kitten that finally got its way to tricking its owner for treats. "But you don’t comment anything about the temple."
That’s because he had no idea that there would be a fucking temple! Goodness, was he trying to build him a palace?!
"Don’t worry." Jillian reassured him with a pat on his head, which was honestly not comforting at all. "If we don’t go out of our way to do this, then people won’t believe us."
What happened with the ’small scale first’ plan? At this rate, the gossip would spread through the whole country even before the official announcement was done! A snicker sounded inside Lu Yizhou’s mind and Izher, who was put inside the box and left behind with the horse, exclaimed. [He’s a sly little guy, isn’t he? Look at him, having you wrapped around his little finger.]
Lu Yizhou pinched his brows and let out a long suffering sigh. It seemed like the frequency of his headache had increased ever since Izher showed up in Jillian’s life. [Don’t pretend as if you know nothing. You two must have secretly planned this behind my back, haven’t you?]
Izher gasped, mock outraged. [That’s a huge slender, Sir! What makes you think that I would want to breathe the same air as him?]
