Chapter 163: Repeated defeats

Of course, this is just a picture in the eyes of ordinary people, Angel is also a "Witch of Pleasure", and it can be seen that Triss used invisibility to hide herself.

After advancing to Sequence 6, the invisibility technique no longer required the preparation of materials, and the speed of its effect was much faster than that of the "witch", and the eyes of several watchers who were staring at Triss were only attracted by the commotion outside the hall for a few seconds, and when they looked back, they could no longer find the whereabouts of their target.

Covering half of her face with a champagne glass, Angel watched with interest as the watchers disguised as guests wandered around like headless flies, looking at each lady of Trissy's size, questioning the bewildered waiters around them, and finally two of them even came straight at her.

The one who took the lead, a middle-aged man with a serious face, asked unceremoniously:

"Where's the young lady you were talking to?"

At the moment of his questioning, Angel felt an invisible oppressive force emanating from the other party, straight at her face, making her just want to surrender and not lie.

Of course, this force quickly dissipated as if it were an illusion, and it did not have a real impact.

Is he extraordinary? Instigation, persuasion, or "interrogator"? Fortunately, his sequence was not high, and he did not further exert his extraordinary abilities in his hurry......

Based on the information he had seen and the knowledge sharing at the tarot meeting, Angel quickly determined the other party's potion sequence, and even began to suspect that he was a special department of the military or a secret agent of the royal family.

She pretended to be deeply affected by extraordinary abilities, bowed her head and frowned, and replied slowly:

"The young lady, I only had a few words with her, and then she went back to the dance floor...... Hey, why is she gone? ”

At the end, Angel's eyes widened in surprise and looked into the center of the hall, looking for Triss who was missing. The disguise managed to fool the two monitors, who glanced at each other, immediately turned away, quickly identified their next target, and unabashedly continued to use their extraordinary abilities to begin the "interrogation".

These people are too arrogant, and this is in the home of a certain earl, in front of nearly a hundred guests...... Aren't they afraid of messing with nobles they shouldn't mess with?

Besides, the person who took the lead, as an extraordinary person, should know that Triss's abilities include stealth, and at this time he must have left the hall and even burrowed into the nearby sewers, so instead of asking witnesses one by one here, shouldn't he expand the search area and even report to his superiors?

Seeing several watchers still scurrying through the halls where the unrest had not yet subsided, Angel sighed lightly, wondering whether to feel sorry for the military and the royal family, or to be glad that Triss had escaped.

But in the next second, a figure walked through the side door of the hall, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Trissy, who had just vowed to run away and even used stealth to disappear from the crowd, actually returned here!

No, that's not Triss anymore......

The corners of "Trissy", who slowly returned to the hall, turned up slightly, and her eyes narrowed, making her somewhat round face even more cute, and an old-fashioned black dress that did not match her age was extremely suitable against her elegant steps.

As she returned to the hall, the commotion outside gradually ceased, and the guests looked around in confusion, but soon calmed down by the Count of Wolff's personal appeasement, and continued to talk and dance, and the band played a cheerful tune quite different from the one before, as if the previous few minutes had been a farce.

It's that kind of demeanor again...... It's like a different person, or maybe it's controlled by something......

Angel stared at the returning Triss, watched her walk through the crowd, and held the arm of a young man in the astonishing gaze of some single aristocrat, and the two stood intimately together.

The man who appeared at some point had narrow eyes and a round face, and looked a bit like the kings of the gold pounds, and although he was dressed in a simple disguise, hiding his hair color, and dressing out in a shadowy manner, Angel recognized him at a glance as Edsak Augustus, the prince who had "fallen in love" with Triss at the ball.

He actually came to find Triss who tried to escape, no wonder those monitors, no, they should be the secret agents of the royal family, they didn't care about offending the guests, it turned out that behind them was the most unoffending backstage......

And Triss's strange appearance is exactly the same as the last time I went to the ball and talked to me, and it seems that it is the "credit" of the sapphire ring, but I don't know what happened to the man who helped her create the opportunity just now...... Well, I don't have time to worry about him, so I'd better worry about myself......

Angel's mind was running as he watched the prince with the witch in his arms slowly walk past him, and smiled politely, and just as Angel thought they were going to talk to her, the two walked by her side and left the hall through a small door.

From behind the door that had not yet been closed came Edsak's reprimand, in a low voice:

"Next time you want to participate in this kind of ball, you can tell me directly, don't run out without permission......"

It sounds more like a pampering than a reprimand.

This was followed by a seductive response from "Triss".

The witch who judged the two before and after, and the prince who seemed to know nothing, the "performance" of the two made Angel break out in a cold sweat, as if she had fallen into the frightened feeling of the last ball.

And the watchers disguised as guests disappeared at some point, and if it weren't for the cold sweat on her body, Angel would almost have thought that it was just a hallucination in her mind.

Putting down the glass of champagne that had been drunk at some point, Angel, who still felt dry, picked up another glass of juice on the table and drank it again before swallowing the previous discomfort into her stomach. She looked back at the hall, and no one noticed the strange scene just now, or even if she did, these ordinary people didn't know what was going on.

Of course, there were people who had noticed Triss's anomaly, such as Lola Swan and her Hunter Dance Partner, who were visibly aware of the fact that the two Extraordinary were looking solemnly in the direction the prince and the witch had left......

She retracted her gaze and suddenly found a big golden retriever dog lying at her feet, it was none other than Audrey's extraordinary pet, Susie.

"Susie, did you see that just now?" She crouched down and whispered, "The young lady who disappeared and reappeared just now, and His Royal Highness the Prince who took her away. ”

“……”

This transcendent dog should have been instructed by Audrey not to show any abnormality in the presence of outsiders, so he just tilted his head to look at Angel, his big eyes full of doubt.

"Miss Irene, if you want a pet of your own, I'll pick it for you, but Susie can't."

Angel's naughty whisper came from behind Angel.

"I just wanted to ask about it...... I thought it could understand me, so I gave it a try. ”

She got up and looked back, smiling and explaining, but quickly changed her tune when she saw the maid behind Audrey.

It wasn't until the two and a dog left the ball and returned to the carriage, in their private space, that Angel selectively told Audrey the love story of Prince Edssack and the "commoner girl".

Of course, she didn't mention anything about the Witch Cult and the specific situation of Triss, which was to protect Audrey and avoid revealing the fact that she had betrayed the Witch Sect.

"It seems that the rumors are true, Prince Edsak is indeed in love with a commoner girl," to her surprise, Audrey nodded as if she already knew, "This matter has been rumored in aristocratic circles for some time, but no one has any evidence, only that this prince has recently lived in seclusion, and has been living in his manor house in the suburbs for a long time, and some people even think that he is seriously ill, or has committed some mistake and is forbidden to go out by His Majesty." ”

To be a recluse...... Combined with Triss's own words, they wouldn't be in the manor every day......

Angel suddenly had such a thought, and immediately felt ashamed of his wild imagination.

Fortunately, Audrey didn't care about it, she just casually commented on a few anecdotes about the prince's past, and then turned the conversation to today's ball.

Fearing that the accompanying Extraordinaire Guards would hear her, she hinted through her tone and gestures that today's meeting with the Psychological Alchemy Society had been a success, and then took out a few densely written pages of paper from her handbag.

"Miss Irene, thank you for your help today, this is part of the reward I promised you last time, and the rest may not be until the New Year, when my bar mitzvah is over."

Remuneration?

Angel was a little puzzled, she took the three pieces of manuscript paper, and what caught her eye were square words.

That's the diary of Russell the Great!
