"Gui'an, Captain, and everyone, it's nice to see you. ”

Because there were already many nobles who entered at the gate of the manor, Cheruth, who greeted her teammates at the door, did not relax, but continued to maintain the aura of a noble lady, greeting everyone with a quiet smile.

Although she was wearing Sekaria's old dress, it was also a delicate work full of court luxury that the court tailors had carefully made for the young Sekaria, and although the etiquette of Cerath herself was learned in a hurry, it was also trained by ♀ Sekaria, the princess of the kingdom, with that dress, if you compare it with Sekaria, you may still be able to see the flaws, but now she is the only one standing in front of the beautifully carved gate of the manor, if it weren't for the pair of very characteristic ears and tail, no one will doubt that she is a noble lady from a wealthy family.

The cute ghost elf little demon teammate who had been training together all the time suddenly became a beautiful lady who coexisted with youth and charm, which was obviously a big shock to the five teammates.

The honest Langton's honest round face turned red, and the little wolf twisted his face to the side, which was also a little reddened, and he was obviously more familiar with the usual Cheruth than the others, and he was obviously the one who was most affected by this contrast.

"Wow...... Chelus is so pretty......"

"Well, the boys are in danger tonight......"

Charnove and Elena, who are also girls, also looked at Cheruth in front of them and exclaimed, neither of them is the kind of girl who likes to spend her heart on this kind of thing to make senseless comparisons, so the admiration is also completely from the heart.

And the bear child Robert. It is a state of collapse of the three views.

Help me. Obviously it should be the most powerful and terrifying boss in the last Castlevania, the Demon King suddenly turned into the beautiful princess who was snatched away by the Demon King. How should players who are brave and manipulate heroes react?

Robert obviously didn't find a good answer, only to see that his eyes were round, his mouth was so big as if his chin had been dislocated, and that stupid look was matched with the aristocratic tuxedo that the servants of Duke Luthor's palace specially chose for his eldest young master, which made Robert look like an idiot at the moment suddenly had the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

"You, you ......"

Well, in fact, when she looks in the mirror after Cheruth dresses up, she is startled by the change in her appearance and temperament, so she can understand the surprised performance of her teammates. But bear child, can you not be so exaggerated, you are so big and public, you look at us like a ghost, do you want to die?

However, Robert used practical actions to tell Cheruth that there was no last death, only more death.

“...... So you have breasts!"

Click.

“...... Now, Senior Robert......"

As the other team members covered their faces and foreheads and eyes, the sweet smile on Cheruth's face almost blinded Robert, who had not yet reacted to what he had said.

“...... Before, Her Royal Highness Princess Sekaria asked me to tell you something important ~to~ in private before the dinner began, and now there is still half an hour before the dinner begins, why don't you come with me first and let us talk alone~chat~, it would be bad if I forgot it for too long, right? ”――

There are still ten minutes before the banquet begins, and most of the guests invited tonight have already arrived.

As the protagonists of the banquet, the four circles formed by the teams of the four academies naturally received the attention of these children of the Loris nobles in the venue, but because the banquet had not officially started. Therefore, most people still only stay in the small circle of acquaintances and gossip, and do not rush to get close to these magical geniuses who do not belong to the aristocratic circle, but neither their status nor status are lower than these noble children.

Sekaria hurried down the hallway on the second floor. Behind him, the old butler of the royal family casually glanced at the venue below as he walked, and frowned slightly when he saw the two teams of the Lorris National College team gathered in a small circle.

There weren't enough people? Chelus wasn't there, she wasn't there...... And Robert doesn't seem to be there either?

What's going on, is Chelus still in the lounge?

Sekaria wondered, but she didn't waste time, but went all the way to the office where Garnes was resting on the second floor and knocked lightly.

"Please come in. ”

Garnes' voice came through the door, and Sekaria pushed it open, just in time to see Garnes looking up from his desk.

"Oh, Leah, is it time?"

"There are still ten minutes left, and I think my brother may be able to start preparing early. ”

"yes, wait a minute. ”

With that, Garnes stood up and folded a document he was reading into an envelope, sealed it with fire paint, and went to the door and handed the envelope to the old butler with a serious expression.

"Send this to the royal city now and give it to my father. ”

The old butler respectfully bent down to take the envelope, then turned around and hurried towards the interior of the second floor of the manor, this old butler was an old servant of the royal family who had watched Charles grow up in the palace since he was a child, so he was absolutely reliable in terms of loyalty.

"Is something wrong?"

Seeing that Garnes didn't look relaxed when he handed out the envelope, Sekaria couldn't help but ask with some concern.

"It's nothing," Garnes turned his head and smiled at Sekaria, "Adjutant Clark of Fort Guards left Fort Guards half an hour ago after saying that he was ill, and although it shouldn't be a big deal, I still have to let my father know." ”

Fort Guards is a military garrison not far from the northern outskirts of Arrant.

As the capital of the Kingdom of Lloris, Arrant has three armies stationed here to defend the royal family all year round: the Royal Guard in the royal city, the First Navy stationed around the harbor of Arrant, and the Guards stationed in Fort Guard, which is some distance away from Arlante.

This Adjutant Clark in Garnes's mouth is the current second-in-command in Fort Guards, in the troops of Fort Guards. He is the most powerful person other than the chief officer, Viscount Luber. The reason why Garnes cared so much about this lieutenant Clark was because of his other identity - he was the only remaining confidant of Prince Naris in the military circles.

More than a month ago. Charles's accession to the throne announced that he had completely seized the initiative in this power game with his younger brother Prince Naris, and Charles obviously did not want Prince Naris to have a chance to turn the tables.

At present, there is hardly a single person in the important administrative positions in the royal court and the military who is the Prince of Naris. The only exception is this Adjutant Clark, Charles doesn't want to use some thunderous means to take this person down in one fell swoop, but the problem is that the other party's position in Fort Guards can be said to be so deep-rooted that even the chief Governor Ruber can't shake. The Fort Guards troops were only a short distance away from the royal capital of Arlante, and it was now the Elemental Festival when a large number of outsiders watched the ceremony, so Charles had no choice but to postpone the handling of Clark for the first time, but let his intelligence department keep a close eye on the every move of this younger brother who was the only remaining eyeliner in the military.

Although Sekaria didn't have much contact with politics, she still knew a little about Clarke's adjutant because Garnes, who was in charge of spying, would occasionally talk about things during the small talk between his siblings.

"Clark leaves Fort Guards...... Did you go to visit your uncle?"

"It's obvious. ”

Sekaria looked slightly lost.

"The outcome has been decided, uncle...... Do you still want to do this......"

Garnes couldn't help but shake his head in his heart when he looked at Sekaria like this, although his little sister Bing Xue is smart, her personality is still not very suitable for this kind of power struggle.

You know, the closer you get to that position. The harder it is to give up. What's more, Uncle Naris really didn't lose too much to his father Charles in the initial battle for the throne, but he finally lost because of two simply ridiculous coincidences. For the uncle, who was not very broad-minded, such an outcome was obviously very difficult to accept.

"Don't worry, Leah, although Uncle doesn't seem to give up, but ...... King Loris is a father after all. ”

Garnes narrowed his eyes, although Uncle Naris refused to admit defeat, but the current situation, in the eyes of Garnes, is really no longer a question of whether his uncle can turn the tables, but whether he can save his life.

If the uncle had honestly surrendered after his father's accession to the throne and then took the initiative to accept the appointment to be assigned to the northwest border, perhaps his father would have ensured that he would live as a rich man for the rest of his life. But not only has my uncle been trying to find excuses like the Elemental Sacrifice and Observation Ceremony, and he has been staying in Arrant since his father ascended the throne, but he even went to visit some big nobles from time to time to visit and chat, and now he called his only cronies in the military back at such a sensitive time, and I don't know what to do...... I'm afraid that soon there will be a decision on my father's side.

Of course, Garnes wouldn't have said these things to Sekaria. Since Naris instructed the Black Tiger Mercenary Group to attack him in the Warcraft Forest two years ago, Garnes thinks that he has no family affection for this uncle, but Sekaria's personality is not as "cold-blooded" as he and his uncle, and from a brother's point of view, he doesn't want the current Sekaria to change.

"Alright, don't stand here stupidly," Garnes couldn't help but smile and pat her on the shoulder, looking at Sekaria with a somewhat depressed expression, "Isn't the dinner party about to start soon, and we should hurry up." ”

"Well, okay. ”

Sekaria shook her head when she heard this, and Garnes couldn't help but nod in a good mood when she saw that Sekaria had returned to her usual capable younger sister.

"Brother, let's go. ”

With that, Sekaria naturally took her brother's arm, and the brother and sister walked down the corridor on the second floor towards the steps downstairs.

As she walked, Sekaria glanced down again, and this time she finally spotted Cherus and Robert in the ranks of the National Academy...... Aller, Robert's posture doesn't seem quite right?

"Leah, what are you looking at?"

"Uh, nothing...... Ah yes," Sekaria's eyes accidentally swept to Eddes, who was chatting with a few shy aristocratic ladies in the center of the hall, and suddenly thought of something, "Brother, do you still have an impression of the incident I sent the guards to tell you a few days ago?"

Garnes groaned slightly.

"Oh, you mean that crazy guy from the Vincent Chamber of Commerce who offended Edders on the street?"

"Hmm...... Sure enough, is that guy a lunatic?"

"Judging from the information gathered, it is indeed a person who has always been a little crazy. ”

Sekaria turned to look at Garnes.

"Information Collected...... Brother, didn't your subordinates see the real person?"

Garnes also looked a little helpless.

"When my men arrived at the Vincent Chamber of Commerce, that guy had already been expelled from the Chamber of Commerce, and it was said that someone saw that the crazy guy had just been swept out of the house and was pulled into a carriage around the corner and disappeared...... I can't just go to the Duke's palace to ask for someone, can I?"

Such a quick revenge...... Sure enough, it was the upright gentleman she knew, but the narrow-minded Eddes Mana she knew.

"Leah, do you think there's something wrong?"

Garnes asked suspiciously, Sekaria had sent a guard to tell him about it, and he knew at once that Sekaria must have wanted to investigate the matter herself, but in the end, Garnes didn't notice anything wrong.

A madman offended the heir of the Mana family on the street, and the Chamber of Commerce behind him was afraid that the madman would be kicked out of the door directly after the fact, and then he was robbed by the Mana family's people who had been waiting outside the Chamber of Commerce for a long time...... Although the madman disappeared in the end, Garnes dared to pack a ticket, and if he wanted to find someone, he probably would find the madman's body in a garbage dump somewhere on the outskirts of the city.

Hearing Garnes' question, Sekaria pursed her lips.

"It's not a very special reason, it's just the look in the madman's eyes at the time...... Not quite like a madman. ”

Garnes seemed to find it interesting.

"Oh, so Leah, you know what a madman's eyes look like, right?"

Sekaria blushed.

"Brother...... I just feel it...... And don't you think Edus's behavior was a bit strange at the time, according to what I know about that hypocritical guy, even if he was angry and wanted to kill that madman because of that madman's offense, he would generally not show such obvious excitement on the spot, after all, ......"

After all, when she Sekaria was present, in order to make a good impression on her, Eders always pretended to be like the best gentle gentleman in the world.

Sekaria was embarrassed to say such a thing, but Garnes was not stupid, and immediately understood Sekaria's subtext, and smiled slightly.

"No, I think it's because of Leah that he's so excited, after all, most men hate leaving a stain on the hearts of the women they like. ”

"Brother~!"

"Haha, okay, okay, I know you don't like him, don't worry, neither my father nor I will interfere in your affairs...... Okay, so let's take a look at our guests tonight. (To be continued.) )
