Extraordinary Puppeteer

Chapter 294 Observation
546年1月5日，晚上06:30，卡门公主号五层。

Erica, dressed up in a long evening dress, sat in a spacious carriage.

If one ignores the girl's blushing cheeks and her timid posture of bowing her head, no matter how you look at it, she is a beautiful and dignified lady of the big family.

She also put a lot of effort into dressing up for today's dinner party. Compared with her usual shy and immature image, she suddenly looked a lot more mature.

But there was no time for that mature temperament face to brew, and it was completely destroyed by the shy face all at once.

Erica, who was sitting opposite her, admired the beauty in front of her with great interest. Although Erica tried hard to make herself appear more mature, the soft and waxy girl looked unique in a long dress.

Eric's sight made the girl's shy toes almost dig a hole in the floor of the carriage.

Now she just wanted to make a hole to get in to avoid the other party's sight, and it took a long time before she finally plucked up the courage to speak.

"Mr. Kaerik. Can you. Stop staring at Erica?"

Hearing the girl's voice as low as a mosquito, Eric laughed dumbfounded.

"I'm sorry, I was rude, who told me that Erica is so cute that I can't help but take a second look?"

Immediately, the girl's face became even redder, and the corner of her mouth worked hard, but she still didn't make a sound.

Eric also turned his head and stopped teasing her. Erica was relieved in his heart when he felt that the other party's eyes were away from him.

The two maids who were also beside Erica kept their eyes on each other as if they didn't see anything, and they would not say a word unless they took the initiative to speak along the way.

The two maids and the luxurious carriage were sent by Princess Yilin to pick them up.

After Eric's eyes left Erica, he glanced at the two court maids and looked out of the car.

On the street, horse-drawn carriages rushed towards the mansion located in the middle of the fifth floor, and some horse-drawn carriages even formed a grand caravan.

If this was placed in the cities of the Old Continent, the traffic jams would have been terrible.

The Kingdom of Horim had considered this point long ago, so the road was designed to be particularly wide, and seven or eight carriages driving side by side would not be congested.

In this way, the two remained silent all the way, and the carriage gradually drove to the gate of a large manor, which was Prince Philip's mansion on the fifth floor.

Two maids led the two people who got off the carriage to step on the white road, passing clusters of flowers and towering trees, and finally entered a magnificent castle along the tree-lined path.

Then there was another 100-meter journey, and 15 minutes after getting off the carriage, the two finally entered the banquet hall.

There are already many guests who arrived early.

Eric glanced at it casually. This place is much higher than the banquet he attended in Connor's past. Throwing a brick at random might hit a nobleman.

In addition to those dignitaries, there are some "green leaves", but the grade of green leaves is also very high, at least it must be of the grade of Connor and Hannibal.

There are young officials who want to gather connections for themselves, there are small nobles who want to revitalize their families, and there are big businessmen who have sharpened their heads and want to join the noble class.

There are still many beautiful girls or handsome boys who want to use the capital bestowed on them by God to ascend to the sky one step at a time.

Eric suddenly realized that he might have found something hot-eyed, so he quickly retracted his gaze.

This place can almost be regarded as the epitome of the high society in the old continent. Almost everyone attending the banquet has a clear purpose, and it is estimated that there are no more than five people who really come here just for a meal.

And it is unknown how many Clearance Cultists are hidden in it.

Eric's gaze is also not interested in staying too much on most of the 'green leaves' and 'safflowers' here.

He directly turned his attention to the host of the banquet and the four protagonists today—Prince Philip and the four princes and princesses.

To his surprise, Karin had always thought that Prince Philip must be an old man full of majesty.

But seeing the middle-aged uncle in front of him dressed in low-key luxury, constantly shuttling between beauties, acting like a playboy.

Karin kept sighing in his heart that stereotypes were bad, but think about some customs in the upper class of this world, and then think about the identity and strength of the other party.

Outsiders would definitely not directly reprimand Philip for being an old pervert with low EQ, but praise him with high EQ for his very young mentality.

However, Philip Ponton's appearance is indeed very good. With the mature and vicissitudes of life on his body, this charming and handsome uncle is simply a walking hormone that kills all ages.

After his eyes stayed on Philip for a while, Karin turned to the four protagonists. This was the first time he observed these four opponents up close.

The eldest prince Richard is tall and burly, and his body is filled with a kind of undeniable majesty, as if he can become the center of crowds no matter where he goes.

Now he is surrounded by other nobles and extraordinary people like stars holding the moon in the center.

As the most outstanding eldest prince of the generation of the Herim royal family, he is like a sun that radiates endless light, and ordinary people dare not approach him.

As for the third prince, Jialan, besides being handsome, he also exuded a mature and stable temperament. When talking with other people, he always had a warm smile on his lips.

It looks very approachable, and the kind of aloofness exuded from his bones can be clearly perceived through spirituality from far away.

Coupled with the presence of two more approachable highnesses, Serimilin and Yilin, the falseness of the smile was even more obvious.

After Eric turned his gaze to the two of them, he shook his head in his heart. He just felt that the two of them were not bad, but really born at the wrong time. They were only about 20 years old and had to compete with two princes in their thirties.

Although Mr. Lu Xun always said that 'youth is the greatest advantage' and 'youth is not afraid of failure', but in the [King Selection] ceremony, youth is not an advantage but a defect.

The two opponents have more than ten years of development time than them, which has already widened a big gap.

The two of them can be regarded as very good people, and they may not be able to see anything at ordinary times.

But now putting the four together allows the guests to make a more intuitive comparison.

Compared with their two elder brothers who are ten years older than themselves, Serimilin and Yilin feel like "Little Fresh Meat" and "Sister Lin", the gap is clear at a glance.
