Coming to the imperial capital again, Charlie's feelings are different.

In the past, this city full of political and cultural customs always exuded a sense of superiority from all corners, like an old woman with luxurious shoulders, faltering, but never looking at strangers.

Today, Raphael City is less arrogant than before, and there is a sense of anxiety everywhere, Raphaels have a natural sensitivity to politics, and many court secrets and royal secrets of the thousand-year-old empire have mostly come out of their mouths, and now, there are some shocking news circulating in the streets, which makes them seriously uneasy.

The commoners were uneasy, so many hid in their homes, waiting for the truth to come out, waiting for the strong to maintain order, and the nobles were uneasy, so they were busy holding banquets and huddling together to keep warm.

It's early summer, the night breeze is blowing, with a hint of coolness, just a shirt with a light spring dress, this season is the most beautiful season of the year, and it is a good time for banquets.

At night, the western glow outside the city is delicate, and the city is brightly lit, and the streets are full of cars and horses, and dinner parties of all sizes kick off.

At the moment, in the spacious room of a certain castle.

In front of the gorgeous comb mirror, a pair of bright eyes are looking at themselves in the mirror, and the long and dense eyelashes open and close like a fan, adding a lot of luster to the clear and translucent eyes, but unfortunately you can't see the face, a white veil covers the parts below the eyes, and you can only see a silhouette dimly, but even if it's just an outline, it's amazing.

Beside her stood a beautiful maid, who sighed heartily: "Miss, you are so beautiful today! If you take off the veil, I am afraid that the teenagers outside will look stupid!"

The girl loosened the straps on her back, and said dissatisfiedly, "I don't want to go to this kind of banquet! ”

The maid smiled and said, "Tonight is your banquet, how can it be boring? I think the most talented young masters in the city are here! Those are the core magic apprentices of the Raphael Royal Academy of Magic, and they will intimidate a group of people by revealing their teacher's name!"

"Hmph, is it a great idea to hang a few court mages with the title of apprentice?

"Yes, yes! I know that Miss used to be an apprentice of the Arcane Ring, and she doesn't take the Royal Academy of Magic seriously, but for us ordinary people, they are all very powerful people!

With the poor experience of the maid, of course she does not understand the real difference between the Royal Academy of Magic and the Arcane Ring, in fact, many people do not understand the difference between the two, only she, a student who has studied in both schools, really understands the difference, of course, she will not bother to explain to the maid, although this is a maid who grew up with her since childhood, and her parents have gradually distinguished her from ordinary slaves.

The girl twisted up the white skirt, swung a few times, the elegant white skirt floated up like a cloud, I have to say, Raphael City's top tailors are very exquisite, the skirt made by them is indeed very beautiful, but the chest is a little tight, the perfect and full of charm of the doublet curve set off, not too inflated, and the girl's youthful vitality and light youth interpretation is very moving.

The maid covered her mouth and smiled: "Miss made it at the end of last year, maybe Master Karistu underestimated the growth rate of Miss! After all, Miss is only 13 years old this year!"

A flush appeared on the girl's face, and she screamed: "Begging for a beating!"

The maid grinned, and said again and again, "Miss, miss, the banquet is about to begin, you must not move! ”

"So what?"

"Miss, it will take more time for you to touch up your makeup, and you may not be able to see anyone by then. ”

"Who said that?!" the girl was unconvinced, but her movements stopped.

"Hee-hee! The mention of this person is so good! I'm so curious!"

The girl glared at her.

At the same time, an ancient and heavy bronze gate in the castle slowly opened, and in the open-air courtyard, the guests who were enjoying the pre-dinner refreshments stopped their movements and looked at the light-filled gate facing a long corridor, and the banquet hall was just around the corner of the corridor.

The Prince of Wales, dressed in full costume, appeared at the gate with his wife, Princess Windsor, and made an invitation, "Come in, everyone!

"Your Highness Ryan, please, go first!" said one of them.

"Yes, Your Highness, please go first!" the rest of the people chimed in.

Ryan didn't shirk either, and after greeting all parties, he was the first to step through the door.

It's no wonder that this group of people are making sycophants, the young fat man in front of him is the first heir to the thousand-year-old royal family, and it is natural to inherit the unification of the Crimson Emperor, and over the years, he has left a calm and reliable impression in the hearts of his subjects, and has been recognized by many military and political ministers.

In contrast, his younger brother, the second heir to the throne, Prince Weining, is in a worse situation, although Weining has shown quite excellent mind and leadership in the past six months, and his strength has also skyrocketed to a great extent, which has greatly changed many people's opinions of him, but after all, the time is too short, and throughout the history of the Wagland continent, the probability of winning the first line to challenge the previous one is very low, as long as Ryan is not stupid, the throne belongs to him nine times out of ten.

The only example of victory occurred in the Louis dynasty five hundred years ago, when Louis VIII won the throne in a later order, not from his father, but with his own pioneer corps, based on a county, inch by inch of land, only after becoming king, continuing the name of the Louis dynasty and inheriting the history of the Louis dynasty.

When His Royal Highness Ryan stepped through the door, people walked in twos and threes.

The banquet was large, and the castle was not the permanent residence of the Prince of Wales, and many of the people, stewards and servants remained in the ancient city of Faust, so there was a serious shortage of people, and even the thousand men were arranged to do something and could not greet their friends.

Charlie was among the guests, and he walked in alone, without any friends to talk to, and was the most unique of the crowd, which inevitably attracted some disdainful glances, although some people saw that he was well-dressed and had a rather extraordinary temperament.

In the aristocratic circle, one criterion for measuring status is to see what kind of friends you have around you, if you have many friends, it means that you are capable, and if your friends are of high rank, it means that you have a high status. A lone ranger like Charlie, no one talks to him from beginning to end, and he immediately falls into a strange circle of no one cares, and the more no one cares, the more no one cares.

A few gorgeous courtesans noticed this handsome young man who was alone, and they were a little excited, and wanted to come forward to talk, of course, they were just interested in his appearance, but because the banquet had not yet started, everyone did not chat, and temporarily held back their thoughts.

The procedure before the dinner is more important and cannot be crossed at will, according to the custom, the prince will make some speeches, and, since the nature of today's dinner is somewhat special, therefore, perhaps Prince Ryan also has something to say.

This banquet was given some special meaning from the beginning, in the words of some powerful people, the people who stepped through this door tonight are all members of the inner circle of the Empire tomorrow, and this banquet is undoubtedly a silent announcement, like a rallying cry before the battle begins, and people from the same camp will stand together.

Once all the guests had entered, the doors of the ballroom slowly closed, and the Prince of Wales stepped onto the stage in the hall to begin his speech, the magic props on his bow tie sending his voice to every corner of the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, and welcome to my youngest daughter, Chiyuki's birthday party......"

Of course, the birthday party is a gimmick, because according to the tradition of Wagland, the 13th birthday does not need to be carried out in a big way, and even if the banquet is held, it will only invite some relatives and acquaintances, and will not involve the bigwigs in the political and military circles at all, and there are not only many people here today, but also a string of titles that make people only snort.

"Five-star Marshal Lancelot, First Sea Lord, Muse, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Thine, Privy Council Chancellor and Leader of the Council of Nobles, Webster, Foreign Secretary, Alpha, Home Secretary, and General Priston of the Ninth Corps......

Tsk! My good man! The big man of the Millennium Imperial Council is here! If a meteorite falls from the sky, the imperial military and government will be paralyzed for at least two or three months. Someone was joking while counting the bigwigs in the banquet hall.

"You crow's mouth, shut it up for me! I want the big guys to hear it, don't talk about you, your dad won't be able to eat and go around!"

The person next to him added in a whisper: "I heard that there are many ministers who want to participate, but they didn't get invitations because they didn't have enough level, but His Royal Highness the Prince also wrote back to comfort them one by one." ”

"His Royal Highness is a good person, and his work is also leaky. ”

On the other side, a bright girl in the crowd sighed in a low voice: "It's amazing! A birthday party has invited so many bigwigs, if I have such treatment, even if I only have one time in my life, I will die without regrets!"

"Forget it, Tracey, don't do anything like Daddy, you'll only get more frustrated!"

Tracy's beautiful eyes rolled, her slender jade hand covered her touching red lips, and chuckled: "Yes, maybe I should compare my lover with others!

Her companion pinched her and whispered, "Dead Wave, Settle down, this is a very important and formal dinner, don't make anything dishonorable!"

Tracy smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Okay! I know who I can't touch, and besides, even if I have such thoughts, they have to look up to me!

Her companion laughed and said, "You don't have to be presumptuous! I tell you, at their level, beauty is not the most important thing, you see, so many old widows, old and decrepit, it is not the same that someone climbs into their bed?!

Why?

There is a good saying, identity is the best aphrodisiac, and those men who are struggling on them must be thinking, I am now in close contact with the wife of Grand Duke So-and-so, doesn't that feel very unusual?!"

Tracy rolled her eyes and asked, "So...... What do you mean?"

"Tracy, you're not bad! The daughter of the Grand Prosecutor, Count Morseff, also has her own identity!"

Tracey blushed and scolded, "Shut up!"

However, Tracey and Rachel are close friends and don't turn their faces because of a foul word or two, and many times, they actually enjoy being honest with each other, which is much better than a fake performance.

Soon, the two began to bite their ears again.

Tracy glanced at a lonely figure not far away, and said, "Actually, my target tonight is him! ”

Rachel glanced at her, couldn't help but squeeze her chest, and said, "Dirty hooves!
