Time is a stubborn child, it always does not depend on human will, after the departure of the two highnesses of the Kingdom of Sri Lanka, Heidelberg's high society seems to suddenly have a lot less topic, and the agreement signed by the second prince and Hathaway has officially come into effect, all the manpower has been temporarily placed in the Dirouet family's manor, and began to make magic fireworks, and Lina and Jessica have also been promoted to guides, and they will guide those alchemy apprentices to refine magic fireworks.

The annual harvest festival is coming, and the avenue is gradually lively, and many outsiders come to Heidelberg for the festival, and the horse-drawn carriages on the road are endless, and the inns on the side of the road are overcrowded, and those people sometimes simply camp on the roadside, which can be regarded as a special interest.

The people who ride the carriage are not necessarily nobles, just like the prince who rides a white horse, there are many carriages that come to the capital from all over the traveling troupes and circuses, although the harvest festival is only one day, but it will last for a few days before and after, just like the National Day holiday in China. For them, this is undoubtedly the most fruitful time of the year...... Sometimes, the amount of money earned at a festival is equivalent to the sum of a quarter's income. Therefore, the artists were absolutely unwilling to give up this annual grand ceremony, and their travel arrangements were often already marked to rush back to Heidelberg at this time. Just like the punctual migratory birds, they gather from all directions at this time of year.

As usual, after lunch, Hathaway went to the back garden and found Cecia sitting on the lawn. Hughes and Aria. Fogu et al.

"Hey, you guys seem to be very laid-back." Hathaway walked over as well. Sit down beside them.

"We're figuring out how to set up the fireworks."

Cecia. Hughes pointed a few positions with his fingers: "You see if this is a good place, the effect must be the best." ”

"There should be no problem. But when are you going to put it? Hathaway asked.

"Of course, you can't steal the limelight with your Emperor's Majesty...... Well, wouldn't it be interesting if we put it before them? "Alia. Forgu said suddenly.

"Really, Aria, if you're going to do that, I'd suggest you take those fireworks and go somewhere farther away, or the cops will settle accounts with you, and I don't want to get Mr....... Hughes involved," Hathaway laughed.

The appearance of magic fireworks is clearly to add new fun to the festival. But there are already special rules regarding the fireworks display on the night of the harvest festival. Fireworks are not allowed anywhere else until the fireworks display in the palace has ended, otherwise...... At one's own risk.

"Boring rules." Alia. Forgu muttered a smug reluctance, but he didn't want to cause trouble for the Hughes family.

"It's boring. But we can only follow. Hathaway shrugged.

"You're going to the palace for the holidays today?" Alia. Faugu's interest shifted to other areas.

"Just to see the fireworks." Hathaway shook right. She wasn't interested in the event. But an invitation from His Majesty the Emperor, no matter what the circumstances, it is not a wise choice to refuse. And in the midst of such gatherings. The supreme ruler is not the emperor, but the queen is the master of everything.

His Majesty the Emperor...... Oh, it should be said that the party held by Her Majesty the Empress was at the royal estate east of Heidelberg, although it was said to be fun with the people, but it was impossible for everyone to be invited, and the guests who were lucky enough to be present here were all upstarts in the court in the eyes of others.

It was not too far from Hughes's house to the royal estate, and when I got there, it was dusk and the weather was pleasant.

Today, gathered here, not only the court members and high-class nobles, but also many noblewomen and ladies, once this place is attacked, it will be a serious blow to the Ortiga Empire, so the guards are quite tight, and there are teams of cavalry patrolling around the manor from time to time. The road leading to the manor was already closely guarded by royal knights, and Hathaway saw with her own eyes that many carriages were driven back by these royal knights.

However, when Hathaway's carriage arrived, it was welcomed...... It's not that she's famous, it's that in the hands of these royal knights, there is a list of guests, along with their family crests.

However, welcome is welcome, but the inventory is just as strict...... It would be rude to search nobles or powerful people, so the knights only searched the carriages, while the other checks were carried out by magicians.

The magic items that Hathaway wears are actually weapons, but in her capacity, wearing them is a normal thing, and even the magician can't handle it.

After passing through several checkpoints, Hathaway finally entered the manor. As soon as you enter the manor, you will see a huge lake, the shore of the lake is planted with weeping willows, there is a lake full of lotus flowers, and there are many pavilions and pavilions by the lake, which is very beautiful.

Not far from the lake, there is a special place to park the carriages, and some royal attendants in uniform have stepped forward to guide them to stop the carriages...... Today's driver is Stilwell. Ponson, who had no way to go with Hathaway, nodded to her slightly, and then drove away with the attendants.

Hathaway got out of the car, and according to the instructions of the royal attendants, she turned around a wooded field, revealing an extremely wide lawn in front of her, and in the middle of the lawn, there was a huge palace. The palace was like a griffin about to soar, and the two corridors that bent around it were the griffon's wings, and the huge spire in the center was like the griffon's head.

Hathaway has been famous for a long time about this palace, and as the appearance of this palace suggests, its name is 'Serandot'...... The Elvish word for 'griffin'. One of the first air knights in the empire used griffins as mounted beasts, and made great achievements.

The evening party is held after dark, because it is dusk, people are walking on the lawn, and many people take the opportunity to talk to each other, especially the young nobles, who take the opportunity to start their hunt on the lawn.

Hathaway didn't have the heart to talk to the nobles or the ladies, let alone play any emotional games with the so-called young talents, and if it weren't for the Emperor and Empress, she wouldn't have stayed here for a minute longer...... For most people, it was a good opportunity to make a network, but for her, the Countess of Cordillera was just a pawn laid by His Majesty the Emperor, and those who responded to her either took a fancy to her appearance or wanted to use her to meddle in the Cordillera Plateau, and there were some very bored ones who wanted to amuse her. So, after she sent away a bunch of boring guys again, she felt like her patience had reached its peak, and it seemed like she was about to burst at any moment.

"This is the world of you human beings, hypocritical, selfish, boring......" The veteran took the opportunity to dig out his thoughts.

"All living things are the same, but in different forms."

Hathaway immediately retorted: "If there was no problem with the goblin clan back then, then how could it be a human race that rules the world today?" Just like those elves, if they were really good, they wouldn't be cowering between the jungles and mountains. ”

"That's because humans are too mean!" The veteran snorted angrily.

"Excuses!"

Hathaway refuted mercilessly: "Natural selection, I don't deny the excellence of a certain race, but for a race, the most important thing is survival." But if it is so good that the race is wiped out or even forced to relocate, then its excellence is questionable! ”

“…… Fallacy! The veteran held back for a long time before he could hold back two words that even he felt powerless.

Just as the two of them were talking to each other, there was a sudden commotion on the edge of the lawn, and many people looked over there, even Hathaway was alarmed.

It is Princess Ou Jiali of the Odin Empire, although it is rumored that Princess Ou Jiali will marry Prince Caesar, but the news has not been confirmed for a day, all nobles have the qualifications to offer courtesy to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and according to the customs of the Titan world, even Her Majesty the Queen, there can be suitors, the ambiguity unique to the nobility is difficult for ordinary people to understand, but they are like a game, and they are tired of it.

Tonight's Ogari was more beautiful than the chance encounter in the square that day, wearing a snow-white evening gown full of colored diamonds and lace, a tight waist and a fluffy skirt, coupled with graceful manners, making this royal lady look more and more flawless.

When she appeared in front of everyone, it was as if even the brightly lit palace was eclipsed in front of her, and the men admired and admired, and the women were envious and jealous.

Although Hathaway doesn't like this kind of royal noblewoman, she has to admit that this kind of girl who has a good royal etiquette education and has good natural conditions cannot be compared with her almost grassroots background...... Hathaway received some etiquette education before the age of ten, but then she went to the magic academy and had no formal etiquette education at all, but fortunately she was a magician and no one cared.

Whether or not Princess Ogari married the eldest prince, it was attractive enough for the nobles, and those adults were naturally embarrassed to show courtesy in front of a teenage girl, but it did not prevent them from encouraging their children to contact Her Royal Highness. Whether she will become an imperial concubine in the future or not, it will be beneficial and harmless to have a good relationship with her...... Soon, a circle of completely young people formed around her.

"Huh? That woman is so familiar! ”

Princess Ogari looked around as she dealt with the noble children around her...... Suddenly, her eyes flashed, as if she had discovered something. (To be continued......)
