Act 69.The Dinner
"Well, why are you dressed like this?"
Grantia looked at herself in the mirror and felt a little incredulous.
It's been a long time since she's worn a dress like this, and Grandia is about to forget the fact that she was originally the daughter of a noble family.
Her long blonde hair was tied up with a pale pink ribbon, her burgundy dress followed her body curves, outlining her youthful figure, and a pair of high heels of the same style made Grantia look tall and subtle, full of everyone's ladylike demeanor.
Grandia painted a light makeup, which made this girl, who already had a good foundation, become like a princess at the banquet at this time, which was dazzling.
However, Her Royal Highness at the banquet will not be like Grandia who crosses her waist and looks down at her bandeau breast.
"Tonight is a very important banquet, Grantia, you have to meet Her Majesty Queen Elifils and Her Majesty the Regent, as well as Her Royal Highness the Princess, not only for you personally, but also for the image of our Christine Royal Academy!"
Teacher Macquarie said, but she was helping Grantia dress up with interest.
"Okay......"
Grandia may seem reluctant, but what girl can refuse to dress up beautifully?
She looked around at herself, feeling uncomfortable and at the same time, she also had a little longing.
"Her Royal Highness...... I don't think I saw it today. ”
Her Royal Highness, the legendary princess, naturally aroused Grandia's curiosity, she asked.
"Her Royal Highness the princess lives in seclusion, and only attends banquets. ”
Mr. Macquarie didn't look up, checking that Grantia's heels were neat.
"In addition to the royal family, tonight's banquet should also be attended by the school's headmaster and some respected mage seniors, which will be of great help to your future development. ”
"Ahh
Grantia followed her father to a party at Byron Weiss when she was a child, and she was also known as a celebrity at the time, but all Grandia's memories are of those delicious foods.
Truth be told, there aren't many opportunities to eat delicate food in Bunaguien, not without meat, but the cook's tricks are basically eaten in a week, and Grandia is hungry every time she reads about the protagonists cooking all kinds of exotic beasts in the wild.
Later, however, Grandia gradually learned that the so-called banquets of the upper class were actually secondary, and more important were all kinds of socializing.
This banquet should be the same.
If you can make friends with a few seniors in the wizarding world at the banquet and gain appreciation, then the possibility of becoming a disciple of them in the future will be greatly increased, and no matter how bad it is, it is also a part of expanding your network, which is the same in any industry.
"If you don't want to marry a man you don't know as a prop for marriage in the future, then the farther you go on the path of magic, the better. ”
Teacher Macquarie suddenly spoke, as if there was a story.
But she quickly put away that tone, and changed back to her original mother-like appearance.
"Listen, you can't make any surprises tonight, you have to be reserved, you know?"
"I see. ”
Grantia replied, touching the sapphire necklace on her chest that was disguised as a mobile terminal, and a line of text flashed in her vision.
Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: It's time to open my senses, I've changed my clothes. 】
[Ashes without fire: I'm not interested in little girls who don't have an adult.] 】
Grantia snorted softly, causing Mr. Macquarie to look at her strangely, but soon, Grandia turned away.
[Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: Do you think those people will really do anything at the banquet?]
According to Rosen's judgment, if the other party really had any plans, then tonight's banquet was the best time, so he asked Grantia to get ready, and the storage ring was filled with a lot of self-defense props.
But Grantia didn't think that the other party would dare to make a move at the banquet where the royal family members gathered, you know, these royal family members must have at least several bronze rank guards around them, and there may be silver-level powerhouses secretly observing, and it is really too stupid to want to make trouble.
[Ashes without fire: The most dangerous place is the safest place, if I were a normal person, then I would never choose to do it at the banquet, but it is obvious that the other party is not a normal person. 】
Rational and crazy, this is the characteristic of the enemy that Rosen feels, he is more like a fanatic than a simple madman, and acts madly with complete reason, so Rosen thinks that the other party will definitely do something at the banquet.
Moreover, if you do anything at the banquet, those masters will definitely prioritize the safety of the royal family members and not distract others, so that the real purpose of the other party can be concealed.
There is no doubt that the other party's target should be the holy relics in the relics of the sage, and as for what means will be used to obtain it, Rosen does not know.
But it's not a good thing after all.
Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: Okay, I'll take note. 】
Grantia rechecked her attire and followed Macquarie out of the locker room.
This locker room is near the school's auditorium, and you only need to cross a long corridor to reach the Christine Ballroom where tonight's banquet will be held, and the wind outside is a little cold, and Grantia can't help but touch her shoulder.
She saw the brightly lit banquet hall, which was connected to Christine's main building, and the tall spire looked a little lonely in the moonlight, but from the hall, there was a sharp contrast between the lively conversation and the pleasant music.
"If only Alyssa were here. ”
Grantia muttered quietly.
She couldn't bring her companions to the banquet, otherwise she would have been able to bring Alyssa with her, and it was a little uncomfortable for Grantia to come to this strange banquet hall alone on this cold and bleak night.
"Alright, let's get inside. ”
Teacher Macquarie was not qualified to attend the banquet, so he only delivered Grantia to the door of the banquet hall.
The waiter opened the door for Grandia, and a commotion came from inside, and even the air became a little warmer.
Grandia walked into the ballroom and saw Professor Siegfrier in a tuxedo-robe.
"You're here. ”
He seemed to have been waiting for Grantia, and as soon as he saw her come in, he greeted her.
"Good evening, Professor. ”
The smell of red wine and food filled the air, and Grantia, who had not eaten dinner, couldn't help but swallow.
"You're finally here, come, I'll take you to meet a few seniors in academia. ”
Professor Siegfrier pointed to a few people who were talking with wine glasses not far away, and said to Grantia.
