Chapter 710 Sunrise Surprise

Chapter 710 Sunrise Surprise

The guests began to enter the party hall with happy smiles on their faces. Seemingly they enjoyed the feast more than they expected. Some of them even requested Lu Bela to let them eat more, but Lu Bela asked them to watch the sunrise first.
She sent the guests back to the sea surface in their rides and asked them to cooperate with the UnderBlades.
Rudy, Maria, Lilim, and Lu Bela left on a personal ride and surfaced in the sea. Lu Bela was driving the vehicle, and Rudy sat beside her in the passenger's seat while Maria and Lilim sat in the backseat.
"Princess, I can feel your glare, even now. At least try to hide your murderous intentions," Lu Bela commented.
"That's how I look at every one. If you can't handle it, then stay away from my sight," Maria remarked arrogantly.
"Uhh… you really do need anger management treatment, princess. That's not very ladylike."
Maria placed her head on Lilim's shoulder and whispered something in her ears.
"I don't think so," Lilim said in response.
Then, they continued talking in whispers. But Rudy, who could do everything, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Where is Kim, by the way?" Rudy asked Lu Bela.
"I sent her to drop your intruder friends back to their home in the copter."
"I know, but it's been a while. She should have returned by now. She left before the dance party began, so it's been hours, actually."
"You are right. She might be outside, waiting for us," Lu Bela muttered. "I don't like asking her whereabouts every now and then because I don't want to annoy her. She might think I am trying to control her or something."
"Or she could be happy knowing you worry about her?" Rudy remarked.
"Maybe. You might think she is my secretary, but to me, she is my dearest friend. Losing her would mean losing everything," she said with a sad look in her eyes.
A few minutes later, they reached the surface, but it was a little away from the rest of the guests. Their rides were submarines that could turn into ships once they were on the surface.
And the windows of their rooms could open, and the railings around them could expand to make it a balcony from where they could watch the sunrise. Those who wanted a better experience could leave the room and go to the main lounge to watch from the wide open area.
They all stayed in the car, but Lu Bela had removed the roof, so it was just like sitting in an open boat.
The sun had begun to spread its light even though it wasn't out yet enough to be visible.
"Have you ever witnessed a sunrise before?" Lu Bela asked everyone.
"I have," Rudy replied.
"So have I," Lilim nodded.
Now, Everyone turned to Maria to wait for her answer.
"Yes, of course!"
"That's a lie." Lilim Rubbed Maria's shoulder and said, "She is not a morning person, so she has never woken up early enough to watch the sunrise."
Maria glared at Lilim for exposing the truth, but she looked a bit sad too.
Rudy moved his hand back towards Maria and held her hand.
"That would mean your first sunrise is with me," he then said with a grin on his face.
Maria's face flushed after hearing that, and she couldn't stop smiling.
"Whoa~ Daddy! You are so smooth~" Lilim teased them.
"Shut up, Lilim," Maria said to Lilim.
"Now you want to shut me up, huh? Well, I wasn't going to say this, but now that you are being so cheeky all of a sudden, it demands a comeback remark too."
"I am not a kid who would be offended by your silly remarks," Maria said with a proud and smug look on her face.
"My first sunrise was also with Daddy~"
Maria gritted her teeth and continued glaring at Lilim.
"Hehe~" Maria smirked. "Did you truly think you could win against me? After all, I know every little thing about you."
SIGH!
"So the saying 'Your closest friend might be a venomous snake, who would poison your life,' was true, after all."
"I have never heard of such a saying. Have you, daddy~?"
"How about you two pay attention to the sunrise?"
The black sky slowly began to lose its darkness as the sun started to rise. The clouds that were covering the sky and hiding the bright stars behind them were now glowing with the shade of the sky.
Soon, the sky was painted orange, and the clouds perfectly copied the colors. They seemed like marshmallows forming shapes and combining with each other.
The sea was reflecting the sky as though it was a mirror.
"It's… so beautiful…" Maria muttered in awe.
"It's going to get even more beautiful," Lu Bela smiled.
Soon, flocks of birds traveled in the sky and flew across the clouds. Small birds, big birds, colored birds; there were all types of birds flying in with their flocks, all going in the same direction.
However, it didn't end there.
Suddenly, a small fish jumped out of the sea and dived back into it.
"...!" Even Lu Bela was surprised to see that, as she never expected something like that to happen.
After that, all types and colors of fish began to jump and dive into the sea. The guests were at a loss for their words, and so were the girls.
Ultimately, big fish, such as dolphins, started to do the same. Even the other sea creatures that would rarely come to the surface were there.
Most of them were around Rudy's ride, and they jumped over their vehicle. Soon, the rare sea birds, such as flamingos, and other had landed on the sea surface.
Maria had held Rudy's hand tightly for various reasons as she was experiencing all kinds of emotions at the same time.
Lu Bela was left bewildered and couldn't take her eyes off the scenery.
Amid the beautiful experience, Rudy got up from his seat and got on his knees in front of Lilim. He held her hand and looked into her eyes before conjuring something shiny in his hand.
"Lilim, would you like to marry me?"
