Chapter 902: Pursuit
With Williams' conditions, there are naturally countless noble ladies and celebrities who flatter each other, but he refuses very graciously, and only sets his eyes on Merlin beside Malpei. Merlin casually turned her head, and when she saw Williams's pig-like expression, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she quickly looked away, but Williams seemed to be encouraged, and her smile became more and more harmonious, and her eyes were full of undisguised admiration from the heart.
"Miss Merlin, can I have the pleasure of dancing with you?"
When a great magician uttered these words in such a humble tone, the average woman would be amazed and immediately accede to his request. This had been experienced many times in Williams's previous career, but this time, his tried and tested methods failed.
In general, Merlin likes to wear a shadow cloak, hide her face under her hood, and appear in front of people in a relatively low-key manner. But today is a reception held by His Royal Highness the Duke, or he won't come, since he came, it wouldn't be good to dress up like that. Although many people marveled at her youth and beauty, she has always maintained a cold style, so no one stepped forward to tease her.
When Williams asked her to dance, Merlin just looked at him with a flat eye...... There is no other meaning in this eye, it is like looking at an ordinary person without the slightest wave.
"Lord Williams, I don't have any interest in dancing, you can go over there and give it a try, I think there are a lot of people who will be more than happy to dance with you. Merlin coped calmly.
She swore that she didn't deliberately slap her face in front of everyone because she was prejudiced against Williams, even though she was only a third-level bloodlinemancer...... Oh, it's a third-level magician, but it's no longer comparable to an ordinary legal profession, even in the face of a great magician, she has the right to refuse.
The smile on Williams's face suddenly froze, but he was not annoyed, nor did he stalk, but said "abruptly" very politely, and then said goodbye to everyone one by one, and then really walked in the direction pointed by Merlin.
There, there were some noble ladies dressed in splendid costumes like peacocks, and when they saw Williams walking towards them, their eyes were full of excitement. Williams was comfortable with such occasions, dancing with long sleeves, and soon became the brightest star of the entire reception. In particular, those noble ladies were all around him, which made the vast majority of male nobles resentful. It's just that it is simply impossible for anyone to protest against this.
However, Williams's main attention was not focused here, his gaze always swept in the direction of Merlin, intentionally or unintentionally, but he did it extremely vaguely, and no one in the whole party saw it.
I don't know what Malpei said to Merlin, Merlin suddenly smiled, and even Malpey, who was close in front of her, was stunned when he saw her smile.
Williams' face in the distance changed suddenly. His heart seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer, and he was even suffocated by breathing, and then his eyes showed a strong possessiveness!
Merlin was talking to Malpei when her expression changed suddenly—he faintly sensed a powerful and malicious gaze staring in his direction.
Turning her head, Merlin's gaze immediately collided with Williams's.
After just glancing at each other, they looked away, and a faint smile rose into the corner of Merlin's mouth, not taking the threat from the other to heart.
And Williams is a person who can meet his gaze without being inferior, how can he be just a third-level magician?
He quickly made a decision in his heart that he must thoroughly investigate her origins...... Moreover, he didn't want to miss Merlin.
It is difficult for a mage to leave a bloodline, and if it were purely by luck, the magic family would have ceased to exist a long time ago. Therefore, both parents have the Magician blood, in which case one or more offspring with the Magician blood will be born.
Merlin is already a third-level magician at a young age, and it is conceivable that her talent and bloodline are top-notch, once she concludes a marriage with her, at least the next two generations of the Norton family will not have to worry.
Merlin did not resign as a guest secretary in Mingsha City, but she also accepted the invitation of Grand Duke Torrippur, so in Candiago City, there was also a magic tower of Merlin, and by the end of the reception, the mage tower had been cleaned and could be moved in.
"My lord, this is a rose from Lord Williams, where do you put it?" A maid looked at her master pitifully with a large bouquet of blue roses.
"Throw it outside, don't come back to me in the future. Merlin said indifferently.
Although she didn't want to go back to Mingsha City, Candiago City was not a place to stay for a long time, if she hadn't wanted to see the collection of books in the Duke's Palace, I'm afraid she would have left a long time ago, how could she bother to pay attention to the accosting of an old man in his nineties - no matter how young he looked on the outside, what he was inside was an old man.
This was the fourth time, and although Merlin didn't get angry, she threw the flower out of the mage tower every time, and she didn't see the archmage at all.
Seeing the blue rose thrown out of the tower, Williams's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and in this light, there was still a little shame - even when he had not yet advanced to the rank of great magician, he had never received such a cold reception.
On the fifth day, when no one sent flowers, Lord Williams waved his sleeves and left Candiago City with a wave of his worries.
However, a month later, Williams actually returned to Candiago City, and he did not come back alone, and there was an old man behind him.
This is an old magician, with a white beard and hair, an old face like the Northwest Plateau, ravines and ravines, and he looks quite old, but his eyes are bright and full of brilliance.
"Williams, is that sorceress really as good as you say?" asked the old magician.
"Ancestor, I can guarantee that there is more than that. Williams said.
"Well, I'll come to propose marriage in person, and I don't think Archduke Torrippur is too abrupt to come here. As for that Mage Merlin, I forgive her and don't dare to refuse!" the old magician said with a slight bow.
