Chapter 136: Confrontation in the Palace Gala (4K)
The next day, the Kane family mansion.
After getting the big guy's signal, Li Si originally planned to go to Marion today, but there was an unexpected unexpected situation.
An invitation has been sent from the Royal Palace to Viscount Kane for tonight's Feast Gala at the Kingdom Ballroom.
This is a party held every year in the name of His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Fez before the Holy Day, in order to receive the nobles from all over the country who come to the Shining City to participate in the celebration of the Holy Day.
Yes, at the Kingdom's Sacred Day Celebrations, the Kingdom generally requires all the nobles of the court in Shining City to participate, but the lords and nobles from all over the country are quite supportive if they want to participate.
After all, the willingness to leave the territory and come to the Bright City to participate in the celebration undoubtedly shows its loyalty to the kingdom and His Majesty the King, and the kingdom is also willing to promote and encourage this behavior of the lords in various places, showing that the kingdom's control over all parts of the country is still strong.
Now that the feast is approaching, it is not surprising that the Kingdom has a party.
There are several large galas held in these kingdoms every year, and Li Si, as the viscount of the court, will also receive invitations.
Before, the predecessor Li Si rarely participated, after all, in the eyes of others, the strength of the Kane family was like that, in fact, it didn't matter if he came to participate or not.
It's just that in the situation where those small nobles who are "almost" to the Kane family are desperately camping, it seems that the Kane family is very unsociable.
In fact, Li Si originally wanted to refuse, he didn't want to participate in these parties that didn't have much meaning, and wouldn't it be beautiful to hold the party by himself when he had enough strength.
However, this year's invitation is a little different, under the invitation letter of the Japanese system, there is also the handwriting of the Duke of Hard, please be sure to attend this royal palace party, His Majesty wants to meet his young talent again.
Now Li Si has no way to refuse, this King Majesty is honestly very good to himself, he just got a precious trial card from him not long ago, and it is a little inappropriate to refuse the first invitation to the banquet.
After thinking about it, Li Si still packed up and prepared to go to this party.
I wanted to take Risa with her, but when she heard that she was going to a place with so many people, she had to take off her cloak and change into an evening dress, and she was reluctant to go no matter how much she persuaded her with a red face.
Li Si, who had no choice, could only take Mora with him, and asked the current head of the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce to introduce the enchanted goods of the Chamber of Commerce to those nobles in Bright Light City.
Incidentally, Master Fakhr and Bernie's research is nearing completion, and it would have taken longer as the two had expected.
However, Fakhr once mentioned this issue when he asked Fran for advice, and the legendary mage helped to optimize it once, which greatly saved time and made it much easier to burn the combined magic pattern.
It can only be said that he deserves to be a legendary mage!
The first enchanted product to be developed is the magic air conditioner, and now Master Fakhr and Bernie are still working on adding cleaning techniques and other functions, and it is expected that it will take a short time to complete, but it will not prevent Mora from advertising first to make a reputation.
Originally, Li Si wanted to change his name, but after thinking about it, he also has the ability to regulate the air, so he should be the abbreviation of the magic air conditioner.
In the evening, the Royal Palace Banquet Hall.
There were already quite a few small nobles in the banquet hall who had arrived a long time in advance, and at this time they were looking around to see if there were any big people worth talking to.
As for the well-dressed aristocratic ladies, they didn't have such complicated thoughts, and their eyes wandered among the men on the scene.
Every banquet held in the palace is a good opportunity for them to find their sweetheart.
And now, many of their eyes are on Liss and Mora.
Li Si and Mora were both wearing black men's dresses tonight, and their handsome and radiant appearance made these aristocratic ladies blush, and they muttered in private that they didn't know what they were talking about, but they didn't dare to take the initiative to step forward.
"You're very popular!"
Stepping on the soft crimson carpet, Mora poked Liss with her arm and whispered a low laugh.
As the second young master of the Golden Canton Chamber of Commerce, Mora is naturally not bad, and he is completely a handsome little white face when he cleans up, otherwise how could he have lived so absurdly before?
As for Li Si, he is handsome, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows and eyes, and what is even more rare is that kind of aura that stands out from the crowd in the eyes of those aristocratic ladies, and he doesn't even dare to take the initiative to talk.
Li Si can't help it, since he became an arcane master and his strength has been continuously improved, he naturally has such an aura.
Unless Li Si uses some skills such as [Breath Masking] and [Transfiguration], but he comes to a banquet, Li Si doesn't want to bother with it.
Besides, this is good, Li Si is not interested in these warblers Yanyan.
"I dare to say, who you take the initiative to pull away tonight, they will definitely not refuse, don't you see the eyes of those young ladies who usually think very highly of themselves, and their eyes are straight?"
Mora joked with a smile that he had also noticed that his sworn friend's aura had been getting stronger and stronger lately.
"Go about your business, or I'll take you here for something!"
Lees glanced at Mora angrily, Baron Karl usually brought his heir, Jon Karl, and Mora didn't have a chance to attend.
However, this time Li Si brought Mora over, it was no problem, and it was also a good opportunity for Mora to expand his network.
"Okay, the big boss asks, I'll go now."
With a smile, Mora took a glass of wine from the waiter's hand and walked towards the crowd not far away.
"Go ahead, look how handsome he is."
"I have a marriage contract, why don't you go, I see that your face is red, is Xiao Nizi shy?"
"Oh, Sister Mitna, don't make fun of me, you can help me ask first!"
"Who is this, why don't I have any impression at all?"
"It was the second son of the Carl family who was standing with him just now, it must be that one."
"Who, stop playing dumb riddles!"
"The one of the Kane family, the one who rarely attends banquets."
"I seem to have an impression, that family.?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The companion hastened to stop the man from continuing, and admonished:
"Don't you know that he has been accepted as a disciple by His Excellency [Flame of Judgment]? Still talking nonsense here. ”
"Is there such a thing? Thank you so much! ”
This person nodded with trepidation, he did say the wrong thing, and he shouldn't have been heard by others.
Turning his head and looking around carefully, he found that Li Si was looking at him with a wine glass, and his heart was cold, so he hurriedly lowered his head and pulled his companion out of here in a hurry.
Li Si retracted his gaze a little helplessly, his agility attribute had improved, and in addition to the speed of action and the speed of his shot, his perception seemed to be much sharper.
He could hear the conversation between the people around him just now.
Just when Li Si was thinking about whether to change places to kill time before the king arrived.
Suddenly, the surrounding conversation boiled for a few minutes, and a blonde man with a good face walked towards Li Si.
The second prince of the Fez Kingdom, Athan Fez!
This is coming for me?
Li Si looked at the second prince who was walking towards him with some curiosity, this was the first time he had come into contact with this prince after being reborn.
"Your Excellency Viscount Lees Kane?"
Yatan stopped in front of Lis, squeezing a smile out of his usual serious countenance.
"Yes, it's an honor to meet you, Your Highness Artean."
Li Si said, but he didn't make any gestures to salute, and looked directly into Yat'an's eyes.
Yatrian didn't care about Lees's rude behavior, or rather, the meaning of the situation made the haze in his heart a little more.
"This is the first time I've seen His Excellency Li Si, and it's really worthy of being accepted as a disciple by Lord [Judgment of the Flame], and it's really extraordinary."
Yat'an praised, don't look at him as the second prince, but he is already in his thirties, and there is nothing wrong with praising Li Si in this tone.
"Thanks to the teacher's love, I have this opportunity to learn from the teacher."
Li Si replied lightly, he wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in the Yatean gourd.
The nobles not far away were shocked when they heard the news that the second prince had been accepted as a disciple by the legendary mage in public, and Li Si directly admitted it.
It was all rumors before, but now it has been affirmed by the parties concerned, and there will be no mistakes now.
The Kane family is about to soar into the sky!
Everyone turned their envious eyes on Li Si, and even more so, their minds were turning, and they had already begun to look at their daughter.
Neither Artian nor Lees cared about the reactions of the people around them, and Artean continued:
"It's because Your Excellency Li Si is good enough, and Your Excellency Stephens is quite picky."
"Hmm."
Li Si responded directly, and there was no other response.
Li Si's reaction almost put Yat in order, and he took a deep breath and said:
"I don't know if I will have a chance to invite Your Excellency to a private gathering after the banquet."
"I'm sorry, I'll have something to do later."
After refusing without giving face at all, Li Si's eyes showed a hint of playfulness, and he probably guessed what His Royal Highness the Second Prince wanted to do.
Want to make peace?
Li Si can only say that Yatean thinks too much, and he is not a good person who laughs and grudges.
I regret it, why did I go earlier?
Artian couldn't help but swallow the rest of his words, and Lis's bad attitude seemed to indicate something.
It stands to reason that even if Li Si has been accepted as a disciple by a legendary mage, he is not enough to treat the prince of a kingdom with such an attitude, after all, he is not a legendary mage!
It seems that Lees already knows something, from Camus?
Before he had time to think about it, Artian already knew he was in trouble.
If it was just that he knew that he was secretly tempting against him, it would be tricky if Lees knew more about the plan.
There was no chance to keep his mouth shut at the root, so Artian took a deep breath, tried his last effort, and said solemnly:
"I don't know if I had a misunderstanding with Li Si before, but I promise it wasn't my intention."
"If I can, am I willing to pay a certain price in exchange for your understanding?"
Li Si was a little bored, if it was just like that, there was really no need to continue talking.
Although Li Si didn't plan to talk about it at first, he shook his head and said:
"No misunderstanding, I have admired His Royal Highness the Second Prince for a long time."
Just as the second prince was about to say something, Duke Hader walked over.
Phausis didn't give Yat a good face, and said directly to Lees:
"Viscount Kane, let's go, Your Majesty is already waiting for you."
Seeing Duke Hader, the leader of the nobles of the court, the slightly noisy crowd around him suddenly quieted down, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Li Si and Yat An.
They also seemed to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and this upstart Viscount Kane seemed to be at odds with the second prince?
Lees nodded to Duke Harder and followed Duke Harder as he prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Li Si seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head and said to Artean:
"Goodbye, Your Highness Artean, I wish you all the best."
Yatian looked at Li Si's distant figure, his expression finally lost his previous calmness, and Li Si's smiling face and meaningful words made him have a sense of foreboding.
Shaking his head, Yatan forcibly suppressed the thought, turned his head and smiled and talked with the nobles around him.
At this point, it is useless to say more, all the plans are arranged, and he has no chance to regret it.
Yatan also stabilized his mind, since he had made that decision, he naturally had the consciousness to face any outcome.
Lees didn't take Art to heart, and followed Duke Harder to the reception room on the side of the banquet hall, where the King, dressed in a luxurious costume, was already sitting on the sofa waiting.
"Li Si is here, sit down!"
Morton said with a smile when he saw the two of them walk in.
After saluting respectfully, Li Si sat on the sofa beside him.
"I heard that you were accepted as a disciple by Fran, congratulations!"
King Morton's tone was noticeably softer than the last time he had seen Lees, as cordially as Lees's elders.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, I have been studying with the teacher during this time."
Li Si said politely, it seems that the kingdom does not know that Teacher Stephens has also accepted Risa as a disciple.
But also, Risa has been away from the academy for a long time, and the ID card should have been sealed.
The more Morton looked at Li Si, the more satisfied he became, he could be accepted as a disciple by [Judgment Flame], and he would have a chance to break through and become a legend in the future, and such a talent kingdom must be wooed.
"Does our little Li Si have a sweetheart?"
Duke Harder asked suddenly, and Morton smiled, but did not stop Fauces's inquiry.
Well?
Li Si looked up at the two of them, what are you trying to do?
"Not yet."
Forchs glanced at Morton, and then said:
"Li Si, you are almost twenty years old, and you should be starting a family."
"As the patriarch of the court nobles, do you need me to introduce you to Li Si?"
Hey, the map of Yan Kingdom is so short?
Li Si was a little surprised, he thought that the kingdom would do something to win him over, but he didn't expect that it was the idea.
Just as Lees was contemplating how to refuse, Morton spoke.
"Don't be so tactful, Fauces."
"Little Lisi, what do you think of my daughter Tya?"
