In the palatial hall, the huge petal-shaped dome crystal charm exudes a charming brilliance, and for the past few days, the city lord's palace has been holding a party of joy among the nobles-

It is said to welcome the arrival of Her Royal Highness Princess Samantha, and just now, the City Lord's Mansion has received definite news from Baron Andrew Collins.

Her Royal Highness the princess has come to Karthas.

Therefore, tonight's party will become more formal and grand.

Under the light of the magic energy lamp overhead, the entire space of the hall was filled with a dreamlike soft silver light, and the light gray, intricate, spiral-shaped wallpaper refracted the beams of these lights, as if mixed with some special material, it looked like a starry night sky.

Margaret soon mingled with these noble daughters and women, and when those not funny cold humors came out of the mouths of several ladies, she also followed the example of the young ladies around her, stretched out her white jade fingers, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle-

Because of her long stay in Bracada, the only people she usually comes into contact with are those who spend their days in the alchemy laboratory or library, except for those who are serious and unsmiling.

Aside from studying alchemy and exploring the truth of spells, mages and mage apprentices were not very interested in anything else.

Therefore, when it comes to the fashions among the aristocracy, she can't say a word at all, but she seems to be a good listener—

As topics such as makeup, clothing, and food spread around these women, she nodded her head from time to time, and under her thin curved eyebrows, she smiled and talked generously and decently, which was already admired by some of the men who occasionally passed by her.

"Wayne, that young lady, do you know each other?"

A young nobleman held a tall crystal wine glass, and after lightly touching the glass with his companion, he took a small sip of the scarlet liquid, and then asked.

His arm holding the glass shook for a moment, pointing to Margaret.

"Well, Miss Margaret of the Steele family. Why, did you get interested? ”

The young nobleman named Wayne replied with one look.

He watched the girl from behind:

Seventeen-year-old Margaret not only has the youth and vitality of this age, the cultivation and demeanor of an old nobleman, but also the intellect and calmness inherited from the Bracada school mage, and it seems that there is an extraordinarily fascinating temperament.

"She just returned to Karthhas last month, and if you have any ideas, try to strike up a conversation with this young lady."

Wayne quickly added that he had to admit that the guy next to him had a good eye for him, and if he was two years younger, he would have to find a chance to get to know this young lady—

It's a pity, though.

Just two years ago, he was married. His wife, who was also a noble lady in the Karthas region, was in a hot fight with the women.

Seeing his gaze, the noble lady with a beautiful face and a married woman's hairstyle looked up at him fiercely, and the warning was self-evident—

Of course, he didn't have that in mind. After all, just last year, his wife gave birth to a smart and lively big fat boy for him, and the relationship between husband and wife was so thick that it seemed to be honey blending oil.

Wayne responded with a look in his eyes, signaling that his interest in the girl came from his companions.

The Erantra Northland-style accordion ditty was soothing and melodious, almost hesitating in his mind, the young nobleman straightened his black tuxedo jacket, checked the position of each button, and turned his snow-white shirt out of the ironed collar, and he just took a nervous step—

Wayne, who was beside him, said lightly, "I heard that Miss Margaret has become an official mage. ”

"Mage?"

"Don't you know? She was sent to Bracada by Mr. Samuel at a very young age. ”

"Ah, no wonder I never seem to have seen this young lady before."

Speaking of the mage, the young man seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and his steps remained in place—

Most people, including the nobility, were considered to be arrogant, withdrawn, and cold, and unsure if his actions would cause Miss Margaret to be dusty.

The law of stalking, such as "love must be more and more courageous", did not apply to the aristocracy, and it would be a very humiliating thing for such a bad situation to occur openly.

So, he hesitated.

The sound of hurried footsteps.

A young man in a gray uniform rode frantically from the distant street to the front of the City Lord's Mansion, and through the high walls, the music and the cheerful atmosphere wafting from the reception hall did not interest him in the slightest, and as soon as he got off his horse, without making any stops, he pulled out his steps and galloped towards the interior of the City Lord's Mansion.

The guard in front of the City Lord's Mansion knew this man and knew that he was a henchman under the command of Young Master Andrew—

According to the news earlier today, Young Master Andrew was ordered to receive Princess Samantha and her party, but this man suddenly came here alone, with an anxious look on his face, and he didn't know if something had happened.

The man walked briskly through the garden in the forecourt, and he walked straight to the spire tower, which still burned brightly orange in the depths of the Lord's Mansion.

Count of Karthas, where Mardock Collins went about his daily office - This count had a habit of working at night, and was almost a well-known thing in and around the Lord's Palace.

"Roy, what's going on?"

Beneath the spire tower, a guard in black light armor with a sword strapped to his belt asked—

The man's face was no stranger to him, but anyone who came to look for the Count had to get his permission, which was his duty as the Earl's personal bodyguard.

"The princess was assassinated."

"Assassination? What about Master Andrew? ”

"No news yet, but Lord Sauron has been seriously injured."

Roy is also a member of the City Guard. Seeing those assassins fly away, Sauron didn't care about bandaging the bloody wounds, and immediately issued an order for help—

As the capital of Northern-Dinogo, Karthas was not weak in military power. What he knew was that in the barracks to the east of the city, there was a battalion of light infantry belonging to the Northland Legion.

The strength of the City Guard seemed to be difficult to cope with this group of Assassins. Therefore, Sauron immediately decided to call for help.

However, he did not mobilize the power of that army, so it was the right thing for him to report the matter to the Earl as soon as possible—

He couldn't care about anything else, because Master Andrew had lost contact with him for the time being.

Roy's hurried footsteps "kicked" up the stairs.

Outside the study, an angry, even slightly trembling voice was sounding. This voice, Roy sounded very familiar.

The voice of Lord Earl.

"Sidney, it looks like you've forgotten who you are."
