Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Chapter 94 Banquet
"Sir, where are we going now?"

Yulia, who followed Ye He off the steam train, asked Ye He.

The little maid rarely wore her old casual clothes. I don't know why, but like Cathy, she liked to dress like a tomboy, wearing trousers, a shirt, a jacket, and a newsboy hat.

This month of maid life at Ye He's house not only allowed Yulia to see a lot of "divine" information that she might not have seen in her life before, but at the same time, Yulia was surprised to find that the buttons on her shirt Some can't be buckled.

This discovery made Yulia feel very excited, and the nearly ten hours of journey could not completely consume her excitement.

"Haha, this is the territory of the Williamt family. I am a guest. I can just follow the owner's arrangements."

Ye He said pointedly. He looked towards the exit of the train station and immediately saw a tall acquaintance who could be seen from his side through the crowd.

Hearing Ye He's ruthless words, Yulia's eyes sparkled even more. Lord Laurent invited Ye He to Sigwig. Could she follow Ye He to the Williamite Palace? See the world?
A commoner like Yulia, even though she is a monster user with extraordinary abilities, still has respect for the name Williamte.

After all, anyone involved in the world of monsters, the more they understand the truth of this world, the more they can't help but sigh, how can they consolidate the power of an empire for hundreds of years in such a dangerous world, and in recent years, there have been It is not easy to develop stronger and stronger.

Especially the ordinary people in the empire still don't know about the existence of monsters, and Yulia has never heard of anyone who doesn't want to be an empire member.

Still curious about the Willamette Palace, Yulia happily followed Ye He out of the train station and came to a muscular man who was familiar to Yulia.

"Good afternoon, Carl."

Ye He said hello to Karl easily.

Only then did Yulia recognize that this was the knight guard of Her Royal Highness Princess Catalina, Karl, who had been to Ye He's house once.

She couldn't help but immediately glanced at the carriage behind Karl. Could Katerina be in the carriage?

Although Yulia has a new understanding of Catalina because of Ye He's "explanation", she still has some affection for this kind and beautiful princess.

Unfortunately, Karl, who looked calm, opened the carriage door for her and Ye He, but there was no one inside.

"Please get in, Father."

Karl, who was facing the car door, made a gesture to Ye He to come in.

Ye He glanced at him, and did not rush to get in the car. Instead, he came to Karl's side as if he were a familiar old friend, and lowered his voice and asked Karl:
"Tell me a little bit about it. Is Catalina ready... to "deal with" me?"

A big question mark floated over Yulia's head.

What's happening here?Ye He expected that Catalina would be "unfavorable" to him?But why did Ye He directly ask the knights who were the bodyguards of Her Royal Highness?How could someone betray their master and tell you...

"Yes."

Yulia saw Karl nodding to Ye He and said.

Karl also explained to Ye He seriously: "The princess went to a [pharmacist] from the [Vitality School] a few hours ago and may have purchased some kind of special medicine.

She only invited female guests to tonight's banquet. You and Prince Cassio should be the only men. You should be careful. "

"Understood." Ye He nodded to Karl, and then he got into the carriage with Yulia who looked incredulous.

Until the carriage started moving steadily, Yulia's face was still full of doubts. She kept staring at Ye He's face, trying to see from Ye He's face how he let the knights, the guards of Her Royal Highness, "Betrayed" Her Royal Highness?

"Ha," Ye He pinched Yulia's cheek, "Don't worry, I'll tell you later when I have time."

He reached out and took Yulia's little hand, squeezing it gently, and looked out the carriage window leisurely.

In fact, the answer is very simple. Ye He, Karl, including William IV, these men are not satisfied with Ye He and Katerina being together, but they can't stop the willful Katerina.

In this case, if they do not "joint front", "share intelligence" and "support each other", what else can they do?

This is a tacit understanding between men, and they will cooperate with each other without saying anything. When Yulia sees Catalina's "methods", she will naturally understand Ye He and others.

Of course, Ye He has another way, which is to simply avoid Catalina, go directly to William Mut IV to "accept the commission", and then do the "mission".

But Ye He has also said that Shigwig is the territory of William Mut. This "William Mut" is not only William Mut IV, but Catalina's own influence cannot be underestimated.

Whether it is the [Infinite Eye] or the local unofficial monster user, they will definitely be inclined to Katarina.

You can't hide for a lifetime. Ye He managed to avoid Catalina once, but he couldn't avoid her every time. He might as well accept Catalina's banquet invitation first and "face the enemy head-on."

After all, if he does this, Ye He will still have the help of Karl, an "inside agent" and an "invisible ally", right?

The carriage soon drove to the King's Road. Looking at the Williamite Palace getting closer and closer in the distance, Yulia gave up thinking about the problems she couldn't figure out and regained her yearning and excitement.

However, the carriage did not drive completely into the palace, and stopped just a short distance away from the palace gate.

Ye He pulled Yulia's hand, and Yulia realized that her destination was the building where the carriage stopped. Ye He would not enter the palace immediately.

"Don't worry, I'll take you in for a walk later."

Seeing that the little maid was still a little disappointed and reluctant to leave, Ye He smiled and comforted her, leading her and following Karl into the hotel called "First".

Until Karl sent Ye He and his maid to the entrance of a top-notch hotel suite that was larger than Ye He's house in Daweil, they did not meet Catalina.

Karl handed the key to the suite to Ye He. Taking advantage of the high probability that there would be no other eyes and ears here, he whispered to Ye He:
"Her Royal Highness Ekaterina is upstairs. The banquet hall is on the second floor. Someone will come to prepare you for the banquet at 06:30. 07:30 should be the official start time of the banquet. I can't be in the banquet hall. I’ll support you, and I’ll leave the rest to you.”

"Okay, thank you...thank you for your hard work."

The two men looked at each other and nodded to each other tacitly.

The atmosphere between them was as if they were about to cooperate to complete a suicide squad attack on the battlefield, which made Yulia look stunned.

After Karl left, Yehe looked at the luxurious suite and handed the suitcase to Yulia for disposal. Then he walked out of the balcony door and came to the balcony facing the palace, looking towards the Williamite Palace. passed.

The last time he came to Sigwig, he had been staying at the Moon Glory Church and had never entered the palace.

In other words, as long as he leaves the church, a large group of soldiers who barely conceal their identities will appear and guard Ye He from a distance.

This time when I came to Shigweig, although my guard was gone, a certain "atmosphere" permeating the whole Shigweig gave Ye He a feeling of extreme familiarity.

Just like the smell of gunpowder smoke will definitely be left in the bomb crater, in Ye He's eyes, the calm and everyday Sigwig seemed as if he had been bombed, and everywhere was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

"Interesting... is it caused by the disappearance of Princess Aurora? Or is it the upcoming festival of No. 15?"

Ye He murmured to himself that this information was obtained by Ye He by sending Amanda back and forth between Higwig and Saidaweil and bringing back Higwig's newspaper.

He was still not sure what Williamt IV's request for help meant. Without meeting him, Ye He couldn't be sure what Williamt IV wanted to entrust him with.

However, you can first ask an acquaintance for advice.

"Julia."

"I'm here."

Yulia, who had just taken out the maid uniform from the suitcase, ran out of the room and put it on generously in front of Ye He.

"You take a rest here, I'm going to meet an old friend."

"OK, all right."

Yulia didn't know Ye He's old friend, but she nodded obediently to Ye He.

Then she saw Ye He take a step into the air beside him, and a silver disc appeared under his feet, allowing him to step on it and stand in the air.

This silver disc carried Ye He, flew out of the balcony, and then flew vertically... directly upward?Let Ye He go upstairs.

Yulia paused while tying the straps of her maid uniform. If she remembered correctly, the person living upstairs should be "Her Highness Ekaterina" whom Karl just mentioned, right?

Ekaterina...

The little maid thought about the name seriously, and then her face gradually became surprised.

Could it be... Willemt IV's biological sister, Catherine Willemt's predecessor, the "Great Princess", Catherine Willemt?
Because Ye He didn't tell Yulia, Yulia didn't know that Ye He and Ekaterina were friends, which is why Yulia was so surprised.

At the same time, Yulia couldn't help but worry about Ye He's safety.

Unlike Katarina, who can be called the "Great Princess", Ekaterina is even more important than Katarina in the perception of ordinary people and monster users.

Even though no photos of Her Highness have been circulated for more than ten years, there is no information about her.

But she and her brother, William IV, were called "the greatest siblings" and "leaders of Laurent's bright future" by the people of the entire Laurent Empire.

How did His Highness, with such a title, become "old friends" with Ye He?
Yulia became more and more curious about Ye He, and at the same time she curiously imagined what kind of person Yekaterina would be.

She must be a kinder and kinder princess than Katarina, right?

Fortunately, Ye He didn't bring Yulia up with him, otherwise if she saw Yekaterina, her eyes might pop out.

Ye He fell from the balcony and only saw Yekaterina sitting on the bench with her head exposed.

When Ye He opened the door and went in, he came to the side of Yekaterina. Although Ye He was mentally prepared for Yekaterina to react in any way to his arrival, when Ye He saw clearly the former When the princess looked like her, she couldn't help but pause and frown slightly.

His Highness was holding a book and reading quietly, with his other hand propped up on the chair and his chin resting on the back of his hand. He didn't even look at Ye He's arrival and didn't care at all about his naked body. Ye He could see everything at a glance.

In terms of female charm alone, no woman Ye He had ever seen could match Ekaterina. Even Boethiya, who was gradually influenced by divine power and became perfect, was still not as good as Ekaterina.

But this was the reason why Ye He paused slightly, not the reason why Ye He frowned.

He frowned because he felt that Ekaterina was a little "condescending" to him.

However, the frown only appeared for a moment, and Ye He quickly figured it out.

It was William IV who asked him for help and asked him to come to Sigwig, not Catherine. She had no need or obligation to welcome Ye He.

On the contrary, for Yekaterina, even though Ye He is her partner, he is just a pure partner.

The way he entered her room from the balcony was indeed a bit abrupt and offensive.

Put yourself in their shoes, if someone suddenly broke in from the balcony while you were resting in your room, would you draw your gun and shoot the intruder first?Ye He understood this.

So he didn't sit down opposite Ekaterina, but walked to the door of the room, opened it and went out.

Then, Ye He knocked on the door outside.

"Please come in."

When Ye He heard Yekaterina's voice and opened the door, although she still kept her original posture and her eyes were looking at the book, Ye He could feel that Yekaterina had put him down. In the "eyes".

"Feel sorry."

When he sat down opposite the owner of this room, Yehe smiled and apologized to Ekaterina.

"Ah."

Ekaterina raised her eyes and looked at Ye He.

Being able to understand her pride, respect herself, and say sorry made Ekaterina look at Ye He with a rare hint of appreciation.

In the relaxed atmosphere, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

They are indeed two very similar people, so they can understand each other's true feelings.

It's just that Ekaterina, who has always been above ten thousand people, still maintains the pride of disdain to pretend, and Ye He, who has always lived at the bottom of the knife, licking blood, is more familiar with how to disguise, and knows how to advance and retreat, that's all.

"Welcome to Shigwig, Yehe."

Yekaterina's words already meant that she had completely forgiven Ye He for his offense. To her, this was more important than having her body exposed to Ye He.

"Thank you. I want to know from you. Your brother invited me here. What is the specific purpose? Do you know?"

Ye He also straight to the point told his true purpose.

Between the two of them, the politeness is limited to politeness, and being direct is more comfortable for both of them.

"It should be for the royal ceremony, number 15. Our family has always had the custom of holding a ceremony every ten years to honor our ancestors."

Ekaterina put down the book she was reading and began to explain his question to Ye He seriously.

"There is something similar to a curse hidden in the bloodline of William's family. I have not sat on that seat, and I don't know the specific situation.

But it was obvious that at every ceremony, after entering the imperial mausoleum and completing the sacrifice, William's physical condition would be much worse than before. This also led to the fact that William's life would be short-lived if he sat in that seat.

Of course, this situation only applies to one Williamite, and it doesn't matter to the entire family. However, the problem is that in recent generations, Williamite's lifespan has become increasingly short-lived. "

"Well...the "price" is getting heavier and heavier?" Ye He quickly understood what Yekaterina meant.

Laurent founded the country almost 600 years ago. The problem is that the current William IV is only the "fourth" generation.

According to Ye He's understanding, the people of the Williamt family obviously have long lifespans, are still healthy, and have quick thinking and full of wisdom. They are like more perfect and powerful "human beings".

The first generation of Willamt lived for two hundred years, the second generation was also over 100 years old, but the third generation was only 80 years old, and the fourth generation...

Ye He had seen the photo of William IV in the newspaper. This old man, who looked like he had only a few years left to live, did not look like a man under 40 years old.

His sister who had competed with him for the throne, the Catherine in front of her, was in her prime.

"Yes, and...maybe more serious."

Yekaterina acknowledged Ye He's statement. The Williamt family must have paid a price for their healthier bodies, longer lifespans, and smarter heads. This price has become increasingly heavy in recent years.

She explained to Ye He: "Most of the Williamites of the same generation as my grandfather William II only lived 150 years old.

But those uncles of my father's generation only had less than a hundred years left to die from natural causes.

When it comes to my generation, I doubt my life span will be more than 60 years old. As for Cassio Catalina and others..."

"I understand, it is indeed a serious problem."

Ye He nodded. Although the specific content of the commission had to be learned from William IV, Yekaterina had already told Ye He where the trouble came from and what form it took. What would be the impact on Ye He in the future? It helps a lot when going to "Complete the Commission".

He would not continue to ask Yekaterina how he could help the Williamt family. Yekaterina had already said that she didn't know and had to be told by Williamt IV himself.

"What happened over there in Cedarville?"

Seeing that Ye He stopped asking questions, Ekaterina knew that it was her turn, so she took the initiative to ask Ye He her doubts.Her fingers gently rubbed the cover of the book she had placed on the chair, and she frowned and asked Ye He: "He has been the contact person at the church, but I was only called back by him and was interrupted. There is no information channel, so what happened to Saida Weir? Did the old god "return" and chose Saida Weir as a sacrifice? "

Ye He showed a surprised expression, nodded to Ekaterina, and asked: "Didn't you already guess this?"

"I just made a guess based on similar cases. No one from the Wolfgang family came over, and even the "Lord" was sold together. It can only be the return of the old gods. What exactly happened in Saidaweil?"

"Well, a ritual that may kill all the residents of Cedarville in a very short period of time. I don't know what happens next, because after I stopped the ritual, I took the old god into custody. .”

"Contain...contain?"

Ekaterina glanced at Ye He several times, and she confirmed that this man would not lie, so she nodded to Ye He without Ye He taking out "Fabrication".

"Well done, I thank you on behalf of the researchers under me."

"You're welcome, it's just in passing. It's very disrespectful for them to do this to me."

The two looked at each other with calm expressions, as if they did not take the "god" in their eyes.

This tacit understanding made the two of them look at each other and smile again, and the atmosphere became gentler and more relaxed.

Somehow, Ekaterina actually had some thoughts of "comparing" with Ye He. She said to Ye He deliberately and in a disguised casual tone:
"I don't have a container to hold the old god, so I left the old god behind...well, there was one originally, but you took him away and made him your daughter.

But I still have two corpses of old gods here. If you are interested, return to Cedarville and I will take you to see them? "

container……

two...

Ye He showed a surprised expression that made Yekaterina very satisfied.

The surprise was indeed genuine, but some of it was a disguise made by Ye He to cooperate with Yekaterina's showing off. Ye He also wanted to tell Yekaterina that she was really not good at showing off, deliberately. Somewhat obvious.

"Okay, I am indeed interested. I will trouble you when I get back."

"Well, you're welcome."

"By the way, how are you doing with the information I left for you?"

“Part of it is already in production, and I have to thank you for not demolishing all the Northenton factories.

By the way, Northenton, you did very well, really very well. I think even if I were to deal with those blood disciples, I wouldn't be able to do as well as you.

Using that agreement to deceive and destroy all the hidden vampires was a stroke of genius! "

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment."

"Do you have any knowledge about power transmission? The materials have improved, but I always feel that the power transmission efficiency of the current transmission structure cannot fully bring out the value of the materials."

"Let me think about it, there seems to be...is there any paper?"

"come here!"

……

The two moved to the study room and looked at the sketches drawn by Ye He together.

They didn't notice at all that at some point, Yekaterina no longer showed her pride to Ye He, and Ye He actively provided Yekaterina with what she wanted without considering his own benefits. Want something.

Perhaps, these two people who are very similar in nature have begun to truly move towards becoming "old friends".

……

Because Yekaterina kept asking him questions, Ye He was so focused on racking his brains to answer her questions that he almost didn't notice the time.

When Ye He flew back from the balcony to his suite on the lower floor, it was exactly 06:30. The tailor who came to prepare Ye He's clothes for the banquet also knocked on the door on time.

As soon as Yulia opened the door, she was pushed aside by these tailors. She watched Ye He being swayed quickly by them and measured Ye He's figure.

Others were constantly observing Ye He's appearance and temperament. They walked around the room, observing Ye He's figure from many angles, and then provided the tailors with the design parameters that best suited Ye He.

Someone had already brought in a sewing machine and cloth. After obtaining Ye He's body parameters and determining the design parameters and design ideas, these tailors actually started cutting the fabric on the spot and made a tailor-made formal suit for Ye He on the spot.

The materials and workmanship of this set of clothes have reached the top level of the Laurent clothing industry, because this group of tailors themselves are the pinnacle of this industry, and they also have a resounding name: the royal clothing design and manufacturing team .

Even though Yulia couldn't see much difference between this new formal suit and other formal suits, after Ye He put on this new formal suit, she immediately felt Ye He's gentlemanly demeanor and The overall level of handsomeness was raised to a higher level, which made her a little dazzled.

Being able to enchant the little maid who was already very familiar with him, Ye He was also very satisfied with this new set of clothes.

It is indeed a team with several "tailor" monster users, and they are indeed specialized in the art.

Thanks to Ye He's blessing from the goddess, his skin did not need to be maintained by a group of makeup artists who came in later. They cleaned Ye He's face a little, arranged his hair, and trimmed his nails. The teacher left Ye He's room with satisfaction.

Ye He casually threw the small piece of paper that several female makeup artists secretly slipped into his hand into the silver ripples. It had the contact information of these women on it. It seemed that Ye He's appearance was also very suitable for them.

Of course, Ye He just kept all the information that might be useful, so he left these contact information.

After all, he had just been chatting for several hours with the most attractive beauty who was not used to wearing clothes. Even if Ye He had no charming thoughts, his "vision" was still forced to be attracted by Yekaterina. It's much higher, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye He teased the little maid a little, and someone knocked on his door for the third time.

Yulia was about to open the door, but Ye He held her back, motioned her to stay where she was, and went to open the door himself.

Catalina, who was also dressed up carefully, appeared in front of Ye He as the door opened.

Her Royal Highness put on a white princess dress that was very suitable for her gentle temperament. The princess dress was decorated with gems. It was pure yet gorgeous. The fluffy lace skirt was like a wedding dress, and it was dragged to the ground.

The strapless design, like an evening dress, allows this real princess to reveal a pair of small collarbones, and adds some appropriate mature charm to this innocence, which is touching.

Her makeup was very light and she used the lipstick that most highlighted her girlish look. Her naturally wavy blonde hair was put up into a bun and held in place by a hair accessory that looked like a mini crown.

Her Royal Highness the Princess has also worked hard. There is no doubt that unless Yekaterina appears at tonight's banquet, it will be difficult for other women to be qualified to compete in front of her.

"Mr. Ye He!"

Catalina also looked at Ye He with stunning eyes. The right amount of admiration released on her face was enough to awaken the vanity of all men.

But of course that didn't include Ye He, who was looking at her with a slightly frowning expression, as if he was facing trouble.

In response, Catalina only restrained herself slightly, then smiled and said to Ye He: "You owe me a favor, right?"

This was what Ye He owed when he went to find Catalina in Saidawell and asked about Maxwell's whereabouts.

Ye He couldn't avoid it, and he couldn't help but return it, so he could only sigh, step out of the door, and stretched out his left elbow to Katerina.

Catalina put her hand up with satisfaction, and walked intimately with Ye He to the stairs of the banquet hall on the second floor.

At this time, outside the door of the largest hotel, traffic had already begun. One after another, carriages with different noble family crests stopped at the door of the hotel.

One after another, the female aristocrats and aristocratic women's family members arrived in costumes, got off the carriage, stepped on the red carpet laid on the ground, and walked into the hotel happily.

Of course, "interested" is also relative. How many people here are sincerely interested in the banquet, how many people are just unable to refuse Princess Catalina's invitation, and how many people come with more complicated purposes. Come on, this is unknown.

Some male nobles also came down from some carriages, but these men were very politely "invited" by Karl, who had already prepared, to another building next to the hotel to attend another banquet.

Although Catalina asked Karl to only invite female guests, and Karl did the same, he could not explicitly stop the arrival of these male nobles.

Fortunately, these male nobles had to give Karl face. Although the banquets for male and female nobles were separate, it was a bit special, but it was not unprecedented in history.

Under the welcome of the elated aristocratic courtesans, and under the temptation of Karl: "There are exclusive programs for male guests here," the aristocrats did not say anything more and obediently separated men and women.

By the time Ye He and Catalina came down from upstairs and entered the banquet hall, almost all the guests who had confirmed to attend the banquet had already arrived. Nearly a hundred elegant female guests had gathered in this gorgeous banquet hall.

These nearly a hundred female guests, with the pampering temperament of the aristocrats and the makeup that they were willing to spend money on, passed Catalina's "more than seven points" screening. There was not an "ugly girl" in the banquet hall. All the female guests are in the most beautiful age range. At a glance, people don’t know which beautiful female guest to appreciate the charm of first.

So Ye He chose to lower his eyes and looked at the ground ahead.

This floor was soon trampled by an endless stream of female guests who came to greet Catalina. These female guests did not have the courage to compete with Catalina, nor were they able to compete with Catalina, so they were very He quickly set his sights on Ye He, who was holding hands intimately with Her Highness Caterina.

In fact, when Ye He and Catalina entered the venue together, almost all the female guests noticed Ye He immediately, and almost all the female guests had a feeling of being brightened by Ye He.

If this handsome gentleman with an oriental face had not been held by Catalina, he would have been overwhelmed by the bold female guests.

Even now, thanks to Catalina's "protection", Ye He was not "touched" by these female guests. He only responded with a polite smile when he was praised verbally.

Catalina deliberately told the female guests who came to see her that Ye He was her good friend, and didn't mention anything else. This made the female guests more and more curious about Ye He.

They could guess that Catalina held this banquet just for Ye He. After all, only Ye He was present in the banquet hall, not even a male fly.

Whether it is to satisfy their own curiosity, to try "oriental characteristics", or to cooperate with Catalina, the female guests here are 120% "interested" in Ye He and surround them. Won't leave.

Did you actually do this with me?

Looking at the female guests who were surrounded by warblers, Ye He's eyes became slightly solemn.

When he first arrived at the hotel, Karl reminded Ye He that there were only two men at tonight's banquet, Ye He and Prince Cassio.

But at that time, Ye He didn't listen to this sentence at all, and he didn't realize what it meant.

Now Ye He understands.

First, there was only one man, Ye He, so all the women would naturally compete with each other.

Secondly, the female guests present were all aristocrats or aristocratic women, so Ye He could not "fall out". Moreover, he did not notice at first and had already entered the banquet hall in a "friendly" state. At this time, it was no longer appropriate to pretend to be Indifferent.

Thirdly, Catalina can "protect" Ye He and improve Ye He's favor in this environment of "surrounded by wolves" that she personally created. The second thing is that she can take the opportunity to let Ye He Can't leave her side.

The princess was dragging Ye He towards the center of the banquet hall, just to prevent Ye He from easily finding a chance to leave.

Fourth, this banquet was also a "press conference" for Catalina to announce to these female guests, and then to the entire Sigwig's aristocratic circle, that "Ye He is her man."

Ye He lowered his head and glanced at Catalina's profile. The princess was dealing with the female guests around her with ease.

As expected of you, Katarina.

Even Ye He couldn't find any way to break this move. He could only act like a puppet on strings, at the mercy of Catalina.

...that's not good...

If this continues, Ye He, who has completely lost the initiative, may neglect to guard against Catalina, resulting in "getting hit"!
any idea……

"Your Highness!"

Just now, Ye He was thinking of finding a solution, but an unexpected "solution" came to his door.

The crowd fell silent after shouting, and a female guest in an evening dress squeezed out of the crowd and strode to Ye He and Katerina.

"What's wrong, Alicia?"

Catalina smiled as gently as ever, seemingly not noticing that Miss Alicia was looking back and forth at Ye He with a disdainful look.

"Your Highness, Your Highness Aurora's whereabouts are unknown, are you still in the mood to hold such a meaningless banquet? It is not appropriate to stay with such a man of unknown origin!"

Alicia's words condensed the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall, and embarrassed expressions appeared on the faces of the surrounding female guests.

Indeed, with a princess still missing, it was indeed inappropriate for Catalina to hold a lively banquet and announce to the aristocratic female circle that she had found "true love."

But this is not something you, Alicia, can control, right?

It's a rare occasion for everyone to be lively. Her Highness Catalina has rarely found "true love". Can't you just take a look at the atmosphere?

The female guests looked at Alicia with increasingly unkind eyes, and many female guests began to whisper angrily to their companions, making the banquet hall faintly filled with inaudible whispers.

Ye He heard the word "Fafna" through Caesar, so this Miss Alicia is actually from the Favna family?
No wonder no one came out to "fight the injustice" for Catalina, and they didn't dare to blatantly offend the Favna family.

Interesting...she's Alice's sister?
Ye He thought of something else, and upon closer inspection, Alicia did look like Alice who was a few years older, and she was equally "willful".

"Haha, Alicia, you misunderstood."

Catalina let go of Ye He's arm and went over to hug Alicia's hand affectionately. Even if Alicia was angry with Catalina, she couldn't refuse Catalina's advances.

"Misunderstanding? What did I misunderstand? Your Highness, you..."

She could only target Ye He and find a way to "admonish" Catalina.

"Alicia," Catalina interrupted her. Facing everyone's gaze, she introduced to Alicia and all the female guests around her: "This Mr. Ye He was invited by my father. The purpose of my helper is to investigate the whereabouts of sister Aurora, and brother Cassio will come over soon."

"Wow..."

The surrounding female guests suddenly burst out into discussions of relief. It turns out that this gentleman was invited by William Mut IV.

"Ah, is that so?"

Alicia also blushed with embarrassment, and quickly bowed her head to Ye He and apologized: "I'm sorry, sir, I misunderstood."

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Ye He looked at Alicia curiously, what's going on? Doesn't this woman know about Alice?Why didn't he react when he heard his name?
"His Royal Highness Prince Cassio is here!"

At this moment, the door of the banquet hall was opened. As the female guard guarding the door announced her name, a young man with a gloomy face quickly stepped in from the door.

Judging from his age, he was a few years younger than Ye He, probably about the same as Krent. He was only wearing a set of formal clothes that was simpler for his status.

"Prince Cassio!"

"His Royal Highness!"

Cassio ignored the greetings and salutes of the female guests very rudely, and walked quickly to Ye He, staring at Ye He with big eyes and small eyes.

"Yeh."

He squeezed out Ye He's name through his teeth.

Ye He looked at Cassio angrily and amusedly, as if looking at a second-grade boy next door, and replied with a smile: "Hey, kid."
