In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

In two days, most of the buildings in the Kingdom of Canter, which were not very damaged, were basically restored.

These buildings, which are basically houses inhabited by some residents, have been burned down by the sub-people who helped their compatriots.

According to the agreement, the damage to these buildings and the loss of subhuman slaves will be compensated by the Casidra Chamber of Commerce.

After all, those two tiger men and the other sub-people were introduced to the royal city by the Casidra Chamber of Commerce.

But the razed commercial city was not destined to recover so quickly.

This commercial city, which has a large number of shops, was purchased by the Casidra Chamber of Commerce.

According to the treaty between the two parties, the kingdom failed to protect these valuable shops, and the kingdom also needs to pay compensation.

Overall, the kingdom is still at a loss.

Of course, in fact, the Casidra Chamber of Commerce did not make any money.

Because of the escape of that group of sub-people, the Casidra Chamber of Commerce was unable to transfer the goods to Victor normally.

As is customary, they were required to compensate Victor ten times the price.

The winner after the reparations is neither the kingdom nor the Casidra Chamber of Commerce.

Only Victor.

But neither the kingdom nor the Casidra Chamber of Commerce.

After seeing Victor's terrifying magic, no one dared to provoke this walking 'scourge'.

Life still has to go on.

The royal city was badly damaged and is still in the process of being rebuilt.

Therefore, in order to welcome Princess Aurelian's establishment of diplomatic relations, it was moved from the royal city to another location.

Although it was proposed to be held in the territory of the Grand Duke of Barlow, most people could not accept it due to the strange atmosphere of the territory.

In the end, the choice was held in the domain of Count Laurean, Sauerburn.

That night, the Earl Laurien's mansion was as bright as day.

One after another, the ornate carriages stopped in front of the gate, beautifully carved and gilded with gold foil all over the vicinity.

The nobles of all walks of life stepped out of the carriage, accompanied by the cold light of the swords at their waists.

Around the mansion, heavily armed guards guarded it like an iron wall.

The nobles, guided by their servants, entered the brightly lit mansion.

Among the nobles, the lords of the Kingdom of Kanter and the twelve foreign ministers from the empire exchanged greetings and greetings to each other.

Everyone knows it.

The purpose of today's banquet is to deepen the relationship and friendship between the empire and the kingdom.

Aurelian arrived early in Sauburn.

When she walked out of the mansion, many nobles bowed to the noble princess in unison.

Today's Princess Aurelian changed into a silver dress.

Under the gentle shroud of the night sky and lights, it is like a dazzling star.

The slender gown accentuated Aurelian's figure, the wide, pleated skirt fluttering beneath her.

Her long silver hair was held high, and a silver hairpin ran through it.

Aurelian smiled as she responded to the nobles.

Xiang Zilan has been following behind her, wearing that dignified maid outfit, looking cute and kind.

Until she followed the flow of nobles and stood in front of the gate of the mansion.

With the pleasant sound of horses' hooves and the crisp sound of bells, a magnificent caravan of horses slowly drove to the front of Count Laurien's house.

The carriage made of golden silk nan wood exudes a faint woody fragrance, and the national emblem of the kingdom is engraved in gold on both sides of the carriage.

A metal bell hung from the edge of the roof of the carriage, and a flickering candle flame hung at the back of the carriage.

The gold lines on the wheels are curved and delicate, and the saddles on the white horses are so well crafted that they can be seen at a glance that they are different from other noble teams.

Numerous guards circled the carriage slowly and unevenly.

Hilda stepped out of the crowd of soldiers, opened the door of the carriage, and bowed.

It wasn't until August got out of the carriage that many nobles began to bow and salute August.

Only those nobles with more noble status showed a little dissatisfaction in their eyes when they saw Auguste.

Auguste, who got out of the carriage, saw Aurelian standing at the door.

He couldn't help but smile and stepped forward.

At this time, he seemed to be a little humble.

"It is a great honour to be greeted by Princess Aurelian in person."

Aurelian just smiled in response.

At this time, August smiled and looked around, as if looking for someone.

After looking around to no avail, he asked Aurelian with some confusion:

"What about Councillor Clavenner? Why didn't I see him? ”

"Mr. Victor is talking to Count Laurean."

Aurelian explained, still with a polite smile on her face.

The king smiled and nodded:

"I see."

"As it happens, I also have something to look for Count Laurean."

"Your Royal Highness Princess, why don't you go with me?"

Aurelian just wanted to politely refuse, but suddenly thought that Teacher Victor was also on it, and the words of refusal couldn't help but blurt out:

"Of course, that's exactly what I wanted."

She reluctantly smiled and walked with Auguste.

Fortunately, with Xiangzilan and Hilda following behind, it is not alone.

As soon as they entered the mansion, they entered a brightly lit hall.

The hall is spacious, and the candlelight illuminates the golden walls like a sea of gold.

The green vegetation on both sides exudes a fresh scent, while tables covered with white silk are filled with a variety of delicacies.

The candlelight illuminates the white silk a little brightly, and in the corner, several musicians are playing music intently.

The elegant sound of the violin reverberated throughout the Golden Hall, calming the hearts of those who entered the mansion.

The nobles exchanged pleasantries and conversations, and when they saw Auguste and the princess, they would raise their glasses to pay respect.

August nodded in response, very pleased with the atmosphere.

It is conceivable how attentive Count Laurion was to this banquet and prepared it very carefully.

However, he did not see the figure of the Grand Duke of Barlow at this banquet.

Although, Grand Duke Barlow almost never attends such banquets, today's day is a bit special after all.

His absence from the show made August feel a little strange.

As the group walked along, the king even noticed Joanna, the schoolgirl who had been defeated in the academy last time.

She was sitting quietly at the side of the banquet hall, staring intently at the king as she saw him.

Aurelian saw the girl as well.

She remembered that it was the second place in the academy's ring competition, Joanna.

The king also noticed Aurelian's expression, and when he came back to his senses, he turned to look at Hilda:

"I remember, that's your sister Joanna?"

Hilda nodded behind her and responded:

"Yes."

"Do you want to stay with her?"

"This is Earl Laurean's territory, and Princess Aurelian is with me, so you don't have to follow me at all times."

Hearing this, Hilda's face was slightly silent, and she replied humbly:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After that, she was very obedient and turned and walked in Joanna's direction.

And Aurelian's eyes were still on Joanna, as if she was very concerned about Joanna.

Seeing this, August opened his mouth and introduced:

"She's Hilda's younger sister and, like her older sister, has a nice talent."

"It's just ....."

As if he was sighing for something, he looked over there, revealing a faint nostalgia, and continued:

"After my sister was born, Hilda's parents died in an accident."

"It was Hilda who took care of her sister and raised her as an adult."

By this time, Hilda had already walked to Joanna's side.

Seeing her sister's arrival, Joanna still had a somewhat indifferent expression.

But her gaze shifted from Auguste's to her sister's, and her eyes were full of intimacy.

Hilda sat next to Joanna and expressed her sister's concern.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Auguste couldn't help but say a few more words:

"Because of Hilda's outstanding performance in the Academy, as well as her proud talent, she received two stars and became a veritable noble viscount."

"That's up to me to honor her personally."

Aurelian stood aside, silent, not speaking.

August suddenly realized that he had sighed a little too much, came back to his senses, and couldn't help but smile apologetically:

"Sorry, I talked too much when I got distracted."

Aurelian looked at him with a smile:

"It's okay, I think you have a good relationship with Viscount Hilda."

August smiled lightly and said helplessly:

"Really?"

"Maybe it's because we're classmates."

"Let's keep walking."

……

Follow the golden staircase in the golden corridor on the second floor.

Count Laurion and Victor stood in front of a room.

In the faint hallway where the candles flickered, the scarlet "No Entry" sign on the door stood out.

Count Laurien's gaze shifted to Victor.

Notice the dark, one-eyed crow on his shoulder, pecking at his shiny feathers.

Laurien spoke expectantly, with a hint of supplication in his tone:

"Mr. Victor."

"Can you really cure my lady's madness?"

Victor was silent for a moment, and responded lightly:

"You can give it a try."

Listening to Victor's answer, Laurien took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"Well, please."

Then he lifted the blue barrier and gently pushed the door open.

The view behind the door was pitch black, and the candlelight in the hallway could not penetrate the deep darkness of the room.

But the air behind the door was dull and sticky, and the smell of blood rushed to Viktor's nose.

Like sticky flesh hidden in the depths of the room.

Victor stood in the doorway, frowning.

Count Laurion looked at the darkness, closed his eyes sadly, and said in a lonely voice:

"Mr. Victor, I won't go in with you next."

"I don't want to see my wife like that in front of outsiders, I won't be able to control my emotions."

The pale moonlight illuminated Laurien's pale hair.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the pair of red pupils like her daughter were revealing a very serious look, :

"My lady is dangerous, although with your strength, it must not be a problem."

"But I still have to remind you to be careful."

Without further ado, Victor stepped into the deep, dark room.

It was as if black was slowly stirring in the depths, and a puddle of dark ink enveloped Victor.

With every step in the darkness, the whole person seemed to sink into the quagmire of dead silence.

Squeak –

Bang!
