Chapter 444

Ten days later, the banquet of the Royal wizard college in Golovin officially opened.

The annual spring banquet has long become an important tradition - not only to entertain the aristocrats and the guilds of the imperial capital who have close contacts with the college, but also an important day for many apprentices to finish their studies and become wizards.

For this reason, in the "pragmatic" Royal wizard college, this is not only a grand banquet, but also a place for many apprentices to "sell" themselves.

They will show their highest achievements in public in the banquet hall, or the results of an experiment... In order to attract the attention of the aristocrats present or the attention of a guild.

At the beginning of the lantern, the crystal chandelier makes the whole banquet hall look like day, but outside the window is a moonless starry night in early spring, which is very beautiful;

Nobles in splendid clothes gathered at the wine table in twos and threes to chat, or around an apprentice, looking at the "little wizards" who were talking with interest... All kinds of novel inventions and experiments complement each other, making the hall lively.

The noise of those conversations, loud laughter, the collision of dance steps, the crisscross of drinking and preparation... Constitute a dazzling sonata.

All this made Charlotte Turin feel trance... As if she was not in the capital of the Empire, but at the midsummer banquet in red blood castle.

But then she thought of the purpose of today's banquet, she immediately restored her original solemn and serious expression, but her nervous eyes were still looking at it in private, clutching the invitation sent from the sky palace.

The countess, who had been specially dressed, put on a long Byrne blue dress, her dark hair was tied on her head, and hung a delicate RUBY BROOCH.

When she entered the door, she noticed a lot of eyes around her, probing, curious and appreciating... All of them are dandies in the imperial capital, which are far from Byrne's Rangers!

Of course, and his highness Brandon de sallion... It's really hard for Charlotte to like this guy when she thought of the guy's giggle when they first met.

Maybe I'm too anxious? She frowned slightly, and the palm of her hand was sweating slightly... Whether she could form an alliance with the recently powerful prince is the key to whether the Turin family can regain the title!

Although she is just a newcomer, she can clearly feel the powerful power of connord, the heir to the throne, in the third country - the other is the future heir of the saxophone empire. The offspring of the woman with the same name can never be willing to help Byrne recover his country.

For them, only a weak, dismembered and jointly ruled Byrne principality is a Byrne principality that can obediently submit to them and dedicate everything to the desallion family!

Give him another chance to see what he would say, just for the sake of the family and the Principality of Byrne... As if to convince herself, Charlotte kept whispering in the bottom of her heart.

While the anxious countess was looking for the figure of a prince, her eyes suddenly stopped on a beautiful decoration.

It was a hand crossbow with a very delicate structure. The straps on both sides proved that it could be directly fixed on the forearm... Charlotte almost immediately reflected that such a flat and small shape could not even be easily detected if she put on her sleeves.

"Countess Charlotte, you have a good eye!"

Turning her head at once, the countess saw the wizard gray Sal, who sent her invitation, looking at herself kindly.

"Rude, I just..."

"Don't be so. Such an exquisite crossbow is one of the best in many exhibits today." gray Sal implicitly waved his hand: "what's more, it was written by a foreign wizard."

"Foreign Wizards?"

"Yes, our apprentices of the Royal wizard college don't have such a clever skill to make the crossbow the size of a knife box." the middle-aged wizard smiled implicitly and nodded:

"Not only that, the auxiliary crossbow is not an ordinary crossbow, but a sharp blade with a length of about five inches. It is forged with steel with excellent hardness. It can be used as a short knife and dagger when needed... It is a suitable self-defense weapon for a noble lady like you."

"Thank you very much. I'm interested."

Charlotte smiled politely; The other party's explanation and recommendation were so enthusiastic, and he was not a stranger. It would be very impolite to refuse again.

Moreover, it's really convenient to have such a weapon. In case the prince who looks very bastard plans to force himself... He can also threaten him with this thing.

Somewhere in the banquet hall, the smirking "bastard Prince" suddenly sneezed inexplicably

"That's great, because I'm going to introduce you to this foreign wizard." gray Sal suddenly showed a meaningful expression:

"And... It is said that you have met once."

One face... Is it any Bain alchemist I know?

When the man appeared in her sight, Charlotte's surprised eyes suddenly changed from curiosity to surprise, until her last face was like frost:

"Long time no see, Lord Loren Turin."

The dark haired wizard smiled helplessly and shrugged his shoulders:

"Long time no see, Miss Charlotte Turin."

Gray Sal, caught in the middle, turned away wisely without waiting for any of them to speak.

There was still a lively scene of drinking and laughing around, but the atmosphere between the two people had fallen to the freezing point... The other party's eyes made the black haired wizard feel that it was not strange even if she immediately pulled out a knife and stabbed herself.

No, it's really strange... Where on earth did I offend her?

Puzzled, Lauren put his hands behind his back, with a formulaic smile on his face, and waited quietly for the other party to speak first.

Perhaps the surrounding atmosphere "saved" his life. Charlotte said coldly, "by the way, I haven't congratulated you on officially becoming the wizard adviser of his highness Brandon de sallion."

"It's not enough to hang up on such a small matter." Loren shook his head with an indifferent expression:

"I'm surprised that you are willing to accept the invitation... We thought you wouldn't come after what happened last time."

"Yes, but for Byrne, for the Turin family... I can do anything."

Charlotte's expression was very serious, but she couldn't help humming coldly: "completely different from some people!"

This... Shouldn't be talking about me?

The more inexplicable dark haired wizard muttered at the bottom of his heart. He thought of the information he got from Brandon's mouth. He vaguely seemed to notice something, but he was not sure

"Forget it, where is Brandon de sallion?" Charlotte suddenly said coldly, "it's not just for such a toy that you're specially asked to wait?"

"I can talk to him, but it must be... In private." when she said this sentence solemnly, her expression seemed to have made great determination: "you should and don't want this kind of thing to be exposed too early."

"Although this is the Royal wizard academy, who knows if that wizard has long been bought by 'that man'?"

She is worthy of being a countess. Although she is angry, she can still keep such reason and understand things... She can't help but secretly praise each other from the bottom of her heart, and Loren can't help looking at her.

If you don't look at that cold face, it's still pretty!

"On the second floor of the banquet hall, turn left to the first room... His highness Brandon de sallion is waiting for you there." Lauren, who did not change his face, said casually and handed her the crossbow:

"This is for you, even if it's the last apology."

After taking over the crossbow, Charlotte turned and walked into the banquet crowd with a cold hum;

Is it because of me or did she throw the pot of a prince on my head?

Reluctantly shook his head, confirmed that no one was staring at him, and the black haired wizard quietly cleaned up a little, and then walked in the direction of the countess's departure.

Unconsciously, he didn't notice someone hiding in the crowd, his eyes as clear as sapphire
