Similar to what I imagined, most of the guests at the dinner were men, and most of them were wearing military uniforms, which couldn't help but make the atmosphere of the whole banquet a little more serious.

"That's why I don't like to go to these kinds of banquets, they always remind me of an unpleasant past." Corlia whispered.

"The past is the past, why don't you forget it?" Louise replied softly, "A new life will always be more interesting and exciting than before, don't you feel it?" ”

Corlia nodded in agreement, her warm gaze mostly resting on Louise's body.

Louise's gaze wandered rather stealthily in the crowd, as if a hunter was looking for her prey.

However, before the "prey" appeared, he accidentally found a familiar face, and after thinking about it, it was normal for him to appear at this dinner party.

A colonel-level officer of MI9, a descendant of nobles serving His Majesty the King, a devout follower of the Lord of the Storm, and a secret contact with the "Cult of the Witches", Osman.

He was keenly aware of the source of his gaze, and soon spotted Louise's figure, his brow furrowed slightly, and his expression was full of surprise.

Osman said something to the people around him, then turned and walked this way, and said in surprise:

"I didn't expect you to come to tonight's banquet."

Then he turned his gaze to Coria, beside Louise, and became a little puzzled, and said:

"Welcome, Lady Corlia."

"Thank you." Corlia bowed gently, and she wondered why Louise and Osman, the young and promising officers, seemed to be so familiar.

Louise smiled and said, "Maybe it's a special fate." ”

"It's been a long time since we last danced."

A pun not only answered Osman's question, but also relieved Coria's doubts, and both of them showed kind smiles.

"I wonder if I'm lucky enough to treat you to a drink again?" Osman bowed and invited.

Louise first turned her head and gave Corlia a reassuring look before responding:

"Why not?"

Then, the two walked into the crowd of people at the banquet together, gradually out of Collia's sight.

After the last parting, Osman conducted a more in-depth investigation of Louise, and learned that the process of Major General Bright's death was attacked by the "resentful spirit" together with the "witch" in front of him...... But why, Louise has a great relationship with Major General Bright's wife?

"You and Madame Corlia......" he asked, raising his glass, as if only curious.

Louise was very honest, she took a sip of red wine, smiled and replied:

"We're very good friends, so if we have nothing to do today, we'll come here to have a good time."

The words of the "witch" are at most half listened to and half believed...... Osman was noncommittal, did not ask any further questions, and instead said:

"I was going to invite you to today's dinner, but considering that you should be completing the task assigned by the 'Lady of Despair', I didn't cause you any trouble, but who knew that we met unexpectedly here!"

Louise glanced at him, then casually turned her gaze to other positions, and said lightly:

"The cooperation is very smooth, and Mr. A is very cooperative."

With the direct "introduction" of me to Ulorius, the next step is to sacrifice me to the "true creator...... She whispered in her heart.

Osman pondered, commenting:

"This shows that your ability is more powerful than I thought."

Louise laughed twice, withdrew her gaze from the door, raised her wine glass, and her red lips were imprinted on it, leaving a shallow trace, and then raised her eyebrows, looked into Osman's eyes, and asked in a coquettish voice:

"What kind of ability?"

…………

The centerpiece of tonight's banquet has arrived, Duke Negan.

As one of the most aristocratic representatives in the Kingdom of Rune, he was a handsome teenager when he was young, but his edges and hairline were smoothed by the years.

Of course, the rich experience also filled his belly, and his waist was obviously bloated, which propped up the well-fitting military uniform more "well".

Duke Negan was followed by two men, the older middle-aged man was expressionless, with brown hair and blue eyes, which was the remedy after being assassinated by Ziringers last time, and the "Storm Church" took the initiative to provide the "Wind Sweeper" to act as a guard.

The other was the secretary of Duke Negan.

He was a thin, fair-eyed blond young man, who looked polite and restrained, and his most characteristic was that his hairline had receded beyond his years, even more so than that of Duke Negan.

Duke Negan strode to the front, full of energy, and talked with many guests cordially.

The "Wind Sweeper" guards who followed behind him did not leave an inch, like a shadow.

The young secretary, on the other hand, was a little more casual, and he quickly brought everyone in the room into view, including Louise and Osman.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Louise always felt that the secretary's gaze paused on her body for half a second...... Of course, this may be his habit of observation, and it is not surprising.

"That is the Duke of Negan, the elder brother of the Prime Minister, and one of His Majesty's most trusted nobles." Osman looked at the banquet center, like the stars holding the moon, and introduced with a calm face.

Hehe, if George III really trusted Duke Negan, the "Dusk Hermit" would not have assassinated him again and again...... Louise gave a simple "um" and didn't respond much.

Suddenly, she asked, "Is the person who is talking to Duke Negan now your father, Earl Wolf?" ”

Osman bowed his head slightly and said, "Yes." ”

As the two watched, the blonde secretary whispered something in Duke Negan's ear, and the two most important figures in the Rune country moved their gaze in the direction of Louise.

At the signal of Count Wolfe, Osman leaned over, and Louise was no exception.

"Oh, my little Osman, already a lieutenant colonel, is doing a great job!"

Duke Negan complimented, smiling heartily and looking very sincere.

"Swear allegiance to His Majesty." Osman stood up and saluted in a proper manner.

"Well done!" Duke Negan's smile grew brighter, and he reached out and patted Osman on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Then he looked at Louise with interest, slightly surprised by her charm, and quipped with a light smile:

"Little Osman, aren't you going to introduce me to this beautiful young lady beside you?"
