"Thank you, Eddie. Catherine whispered.

Eddie sees the other party's concern, but he doesn't plan to delve into the reason, he just chooses to help the other party in the future.

"No thanks, it's better for you to help me out today, otherwise I'll really be at a loss. ”

Catherine smiled when she heard this: "There is a dinner tonight, and there is a ball after that, can Princess Ben invite you to be my dance partner?"

Eddie heard, "But I can't dance." ”

Catherine smiled: "Don't worry, ballroom dancing is easy to learn." I don't want to jump with other people, so I should save face, okay?"

"Okay, give your princess a face, and I'll just participate. Don't laugh at me then. ”

"Don't worry, I won't laugh at you. ”

The dinner came quickly, and Eddie didn't choose to sit with Catherine this time, because he knew it would attract a lot of people's attention. So he found a back seat and sat down, and he didn't speak during the whole dinner, and he only replied simply when others talked to him.

Although he understood a lot, Eddie still couldn't adapt to the oppressive atmosphere, but fortunately, the dinner ended quickly, and everyone came to the garden behind the city lord's mansion to start the evening dance.

Because of the ball, Catherine specially prepared a suitable dress for Eddie.

"I didn't expect you to be quite handsome in formal clothes. Catherine joked, "Wait a minute, come and invite me to dance." ”

Eddie nodded, he also knew that the ball was usually a ball where men invited women to dance.

At the beginning of the ball, Benjamin naturally became the focus of everyone, wearing a white suit and a handsome face, the aristocratic temperament was undoubtedly revealed.

His chosen dance partner was the eldest daughter of the Clark family, a fifth-year student at the Nance School of Magic. It is said that he is also a member of the seeded team of the Nance School of Magic.

This girl is also very enthusiastic, and she danced very well with Benjamin, which caused a burst of praise from everyone.

Catherine sat in a long dress on the side of the ball, and finally someone summoned up the courage to come up and invite her to dance.

It was a young man who was also dressed in a formal attire, with a mid-tier 3-star magic badge flashing on his chest.

The nobleman next to him began to whisper: "Is that young man the eldest son of the Lewis family, Thomas Lewis?"

"Yes, it's him. He has only been in the seeded team in four years, and it is said that he can lead our Nance School of Magic to a few more places in the past two years. ”

"Hmm...... But his reputation as a first-day talent in Nance City seems to have been robbed by the current Eddie George, right?"

"Haha...... They are all geniuses of our Nance City, who is it and what does it matter?"

"Princess Catherine, may I invite you to a dance?" the young man behaved politely, giving a sense of affection.

But Catherine said casually, "I'm sorry, I already have a dance partner." ”

The young man's expression froze instantly when he heard this, but he had no choice but to say, "That's a pity." And he left Catherine.

After waiting for a while, Eddie walked up to Catherine, bowed slightly, and asked, "Princess Catherine, can I be your dance partner?"

Catherine stretched out her right hand and smiled, "Of course you can." ”

Eddie took Catherine's hand and walked with her to the center of the stage.

Eddie had been watching for a long time, learning how the others were dancing for a while. So it doesn't look very wooden at the moment.

Catherine smiled with satisfaction: "I didn't expect you to be quite talented in dancing." ”

Eddie's physical coordination is not bad, and there is no such thing as a beginner stumbling on his left foot. The dancing to Catherine's beat was not so ugly, and it also aroused the appreciation of others, after all, the princess still had to give face.

Then the young man walked up to Wallace Lewis, pointed at Eddie and asked softly, "Father, who is that person, how come I have never seen it?"

Wallace snorted coldly: "That's the boiling Eddie George that has been rumored recently." ”

"It turns out that he is Eddie George, what a villain. They all became Princess Catherine's dance partners. ”

Wallace said disdainfully: "Who knows what will happen to him in the future, don't say this, Thomas, how about going out this time?"

The young man Thomas smiled: "It's not bad, now I am already in the realm of intermediate 3 stars, and my strength is comparable to 4 stars." ”

When Wallace heard this, his bad mood recovered a lot, and he said, "That's good, you are the most gifted descendant of our Lewis family in hundreds of years." It's just a pity for your brother......"

Thomas also showed seriousness at this time: "Father, hasn't the matter of my brother been investigated clearly?"

"It's coming, it's coming...... The witnesses who attended the auction at the time have been found, and there are always people who know some clues. ”

"Father, if I find out, I will definitely avenge my brother. ”

Wallace patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "That's natural, if our Lewis family can't even punish the murderers of our clansmen, we don't have to stay in Nance City." ”

Thomas looked at Eddie's eyes even more full of resentment at this moment, the accidental death of his younger brother had made him uncomfortable enough, and now he came back from the mission, and found that the name of the first day of Nance City was robbed by this kid, and even the opportunity to befriend the princess was gone. Can he not be angry?

"Father, I must take back the glory of my first day in Nance City!" Thomas said firmly, looking at Wallace.

Wallace frowned: "I hope you can snatch it back, how can you rob it?"

Thomas smiled, "Father, I'm a second-order pharmacist now. ”

Wallace smiled when he heard this: "Really?"

Thomas took out a small bottle of yellow liquid from the storage ring, and said with excitement on his face: "This is the potion I prepared for His Royal Highness the Third Prince, which can increase his earth-based magic power by one-tenth! By the way, I can prove that I am more talented than that Eddie through this!"

Wallace laughed: "Well, it's my son." You go, I'll arrange the rest. ”

With that, Thomas walked towards the Third Prince, Benjamin, with this bottle of yellow potion, bowed down and said, "Respected Royal Highness the Third Prince, this is a second-order earth-based magic potion developed by myself, please accept it with a smile." ”

The third prince looked at the other party's respectful appearance, did not show a happy expression, and said slowly: "Baron Lewis, you have a heart." ”

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has come from afar, this is what I should do. ”

The third prince smiled at this time: "Today, the prince and Eddie George have sparred, and tomorrow I will come to learn from you, the fourth-grade master." You're not allowed to keep your hands. ”

At this moment, some of the nobles who had been arranged by Wallace began to discuss: "If you want me to see that Baron Thomas is the real first-day talent of Nance City, he became a second-order pharmacist at such a young age. ”

"Yes, Eddie George is just talented, and his future achievements are not necessarily good. ”

"Yes, we were too arbitrary. It's not fair to Baron Thomas......"

Eddie heard the chatter too, and he didn't care about it, but he heard the voice of the old black.

"Eddie, that Thomas has murderous intentions towards you.
