Nominally, it was a large banquet hosted by Count Goti, to which all the nobles of Ballihatt and the surrounding area were invited, and even the Duke of El Barea sent his second son to attend on his behalf, so it was not uneventful. However, because of this, the large influx of guests made the organizers of this banquet lose control of the scene a little. Except for his toast as the host, most of the guests were just chatting with their own small circles. There were no conspicuous group activities, and the nobles were divided into small groups and gathered at the tables.

"Jusis is a bit miserable...... Unfortunately, I can't seem to help with this kind of help. Seeing that Jusis, who was the son of the Duke of Elbariana and therefore had no shortage of nobles around him who tried to please him, was a little overwhelmed by the sugar-coated cannonballs of a group of nobles, Heliga secretly said sorry in his heart. In his current situation, it would be better to show up less in front of too many nobles.

What's more, he already has a goal.

Just as Count Gotti had returned to the halls of the mansion with the last of his guests, he had already observed a guest he was very interested in.

Before the banquet began, the nobles who had a good relationship in private had already gathered together to talk and laugh, and in this case, the nobles who were alone would be very conspicuous in this atmosphere. Soon, Heliga found the "taciturn and somewhat nervous" Count Hertha in Jusses's mouth.

The man in front of him was as Jusis had said, a little emaciated, and his eye sockets were slightly protruding, making his whole face look a little scary. He was wearing a fairly elegant dress, but if you look closely, it seems that some details of finishing and maintenance are not in place, and the whole dress is full of incongruity. Occasionally, a few nobles would pass by and greet him warmly, and some of them were louder, and indeed he was slightly frightened, as Jusis said.

"Where...... It would be nice to be able to help. "At this moment, this Count of Hertha is talking to a great nobleman who knows his status at a glance. Even in the grand scene where more than seventy percent of the nobles of the Baryahat region were in charge, with their wives or important children, the man in front of him still had the temperament of standing out from the crowd, which could highlight his extraordinary bearing.

That cheerful look, the stars like the moon, and the same personality as the organizer of this banquet—if Helriga guessed correctly, this is the Count of Amancia who is of equal status and good relationship with Count Gotti in the whole ducal circle, according to Jusses.

"Don't be modest. Count Hertha. Ah, this Earl, my Excellency, is my important concierge in the investment in the gem business in the southern part of the Empire...... If you're interested in this business. Amasia quietly relinquished the middle spot that everyone had tacitly conceded to him, and patted Count Hertha on the shoulder, "You can talk to him...... He will definitely give you a lot of useful advice. ”

Count Hertha smiled uneasily, and looked nervously at the nobles who had gathered around him, and let out a burst of exclamations to the words of Count Amasia. Although the tension that emanated from the whole person made him look very strange, it seemed that the Count of Ammancia was at least not wrong about this—he was indeed very good at business. In just a few words, he said something that made the other nobles around him nod their heads in agreement.

Afterwards, the Count of Ammancia very politely invited his guests to greet the next noble who deserved to be known to him, and then he began to talk to the Count Hertha. Count Hertha seemed even more frightened when only Count Ammancia himself was present, and—Heliga didn't know if he had misunderstood, but when Count Ammancia was alone, Count Hertha seemed to be even more frightened?

In any case, it looks like the conversation between the two will continue for a while. Heliga thought, then, is not a good time to tempt. This Count of Ammancia, similar to Speaker Harutman, seems to be of the type who covers the sky with one hand in a particular circle, and his relationship with Count Goeti makes him even more difficult to deal with. This Earl of Hertha, as Jusis said, has a somewhat strange and withdrawn personality, and it should be the safest way to attack him.

"No matter how much you disguise yourself here, or how nervous you are, it can't change the reality that you have succumbed to the twisted desires of your heart." Heiliga said silently in his heart, that Viscount Lightening didn't seem to have appeared at the banquet this time, so he hadn't seen it, but these two "prisoners" had already been targeted by Heliga.

Maybe after learning that "Paradise" has been destroyed through a special channel, they have let go of the strong anxiety in their hearts, or maybe they are very confident in the person who matched them, believing that nothing will still exist against them. However, they never dreamed that a few years later, a nightmare that they were either worried about or didn't care about would strike again.

"For someone who hasn't stepped into the social world yet...... Your dancing moves are pretty good. The aristocratic lady in front of her, who was dressed very brightly, said softly in a pretentious tone, "It's a little exciting." ”

"Don't dare to be." Heliga bowed slightly, and as the song ended, he also took his hand off the waist of the aristocratic girl in front of him, who was not much older than himself, "I hope I can still dance with the beautiful lady then." ”

"Really good at talking." After saying that, the noble lady lifted her skirt and saluted, and went to find her friend. It seemed that she and another female companion had their eyes on the teenager who had entered the venue with Yusis - after some "talking", they seemed to be relatively satisfied.

"I hope you won't be disappointed when you try to find me in Haidu." Heliga rejoiced and gloated inwardly—he had fooled the noble lady whom he did not know at all with his casual identity—and had just been about to walk through the crowd towards the table where the Count of Hertha was, but he did not want to be stopped on the way, and invited to dance together—in such an atmosphere, if he refused, he would have attracted a lot of attention, and he began to rejoice that Elven's training, which seemed to him too strict, was indeed somewhat useful.

Of course, Heliga just stepped on some of the rhythmic points in this piece more accurately according to the content of Elfin's training, and he still let the passerby girl play the specific dance. It wasn't that he didn't want to work harder, but because—he had no interest in this vase lady, who was dressed up in vase in vases that were all in the manner of aristocratic etiquette—not even interested in taking advantage of them.

As for whether the young girl would suddenly wake up when Heliga's own popularity in the empire increased and became a household name, and who the true identity of the boy he met that day was - he didn't think about it at all. Because there's no need for it at all.

In short, after a dance song, the Count, who was always nervous, seemed to be sitting at the same table where he had been—and that was good.

Besides, after the dance, he had even more reason to go further that way. Perhaps it was because the Count Hertha's aura of "no one should be approached" subtly affected the people around him, and no one at the Earl's table was willing to take some snacks and drinks from here to enjoy.

Of course, the count himself did not seem to have this mind—he just sat in the chair in a daze, and from time to time he muttered words, not knowing what he was saying. As Heliga approached the table, which no one had approached at all, he was unsurprisingly startled again.

"That...... I just wanted to grab a drink. "It looks like it's been taken from the table over there...... The waiter's movements were too slow. Maybe it's because there are too many people. ”

"Yes...... Be...... Please, please feel free. "Listening to Heliga's words, Count Hertha seemed to relax a little. He barely managed to squeeze out a pale smile that seemed even more intimidating on his somewhat distorted face, and didn't do what he thought it would do. Heiliga didn't say much, picked up a bottle of gorgeously packaged non-alcoholic beverages on the table, nodded, and walked straight away.

"The ......" Helliga looked around, and saw that there were fewer people at the other table nearby, so he deliberately approached the two aristocratic young men who were probably only in their early twenties. For some reason, these two people always emitted a vague smell, which smelled like the smell of pet dogs, "Can I sit here?" ”

"Ah...... Absolutely. You are? ......" The two noble young men glanced at each other, then nodded, and then showed a slightly surprised look after seeing Heliga's face: "The ...... who was with Young Master Jusses just now"

"Hmm...... I am a classmate of Jusses, from the family of the Count of Amandia from Ordis, the "Sea Capital". Heliga continued to make up the excuses he had used before, anyway, Haidu is the same as Gongdu, there are all kinds of nobles, and there are so many such identities, and such identities are not easy to see, "It's okay to have a relationship with Jussy...... This time it was also a coincidence that I accompanied him. ”

"Indeed...... He didn't look like the group of annoying students, Lord Jusses's classmates...... "The whispers of one of them were clearly heard by Helica, and then he understood the identity of these people - during that internship in Gongdu, Fei and they once met a pair of young nobles, arrogantly instructed them to do all kinds of things, but afterwards tried not to pay anything, and used their status as a nobleman to oppress people, and finally it was Yusis who came forward to make them obedient. It's funny to say that it would be logical for them to talk about Jusis in private, but it is really hard to explain how to dump the pot on the students who are reasonably demanding remuneration in this situation.

"You're talking about Class VII, right?" Heliga saw that the two of them were talking louder and louder, and they must have known that Heliga had heard it too—so he smiled deliberately, "I'm not from that class." In fact, I was in Class I, which closely followed the traditions of the Imperial aristocratic education...... Jusis and I met in the aristocratic salon at the school. ”

"Noble Salon?" When one of them heard Helliga say the name "Class VII", he thought that the other party was going to find fault because of his impolite comments, but he didn't expect the latter to mean this, and he still looked so kind.

"Hmm...... On the third floor of the student room, there is a special room for aristocratic students, which can be used for various activities. Helriga nodded, the first half of the sentence is true, but the rest of the matter is made up by him, and it can't be verified, "When I first entered the school, the seniors naturally invited Eusys, who was a big nobleman, but he was a little shy and afraid of life, and then I persuaded Patrick - ah, that is, the third male of the Marquis of Haynes's family, who was also a classmate of Class I, to persuade him to join. Of course, that was after they had been in those so-called "internships" for a while. "Helika's words are completely impossible for these nobles to verify. If they wanted to know about the aristocratic salon, they could indeed ask casually by finding a noble student who had studied in Tolz, but with their status and ability, it was absolutely impossible, and they did not have the guts, to find someone from a big aristocratic family like Jusis or Patrick to ask. Besides, Heliga found that his words were quite effective, and the two men had already believed him.

"I see......," the two men said in unison. Then, in the midst of their sincere and false smiles, three young men of similar age began to talk about some recent issues—of course, with his toes he could think of what these nobles would say, and he just had to say a few words according to their wishes. Referring to the recent civil war that had affected trade, which had forced the closure of a large number of gemstone shops in the Balyahat area, Helriga ignored the two of them complaining in unison and asked, "Speaking of which...... Isn't the Count of Hertha, who is famous in the gem business? ”
