Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In two days, most of the buildings in the Kingdom of Kant that were not seriously damaged were basically repaired.

These buildings were basically houses where residents lived, and many of them were burned down by the sub-humans who rescued their compatriots.

According to the agreement, the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce needs to compensate for the damaged buildings and the loss of sub-human slaves.

After all, the two tigers and other sub-humans were introduced to the royal city by the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce.

But the razed commercial city is destined not to be able to recover so quickly.

This commercial city, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, has a large number of shops on it, which was purchased by the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce.

According to the treaty between the two parties, the kingdom did not protect these valuable shops, and the kingdom also needs to compensate.

Overall, the kingdom still lost.

Of course, in fact, the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce did not make any profit.

Because the group of sub-humans escaped, the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce was unable to transfer the goods to Victor normally.

According to convention, they need to compensate Victor ten times the price.

The winner after the compensation was neither the kingdom nor the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce.

Only Victor.

But no matter the kingdom or the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce.

After seeing Victor's shocking and terrifying magic, no one dared to provoke this walking "disaster".

Life must go on.

The royal city was severely damaged and is still in the normal reconstruction process.

Therefore, in order to welcome Princess Aurelian's diplomatic banquet, it was moved from the royal city to other locations.

Although it was proposed to hold it in the territory of Grand Duke Barro, most people could not accept it due to the strange atmosphere in his territory.

In the end, it was chosen to be held in the territory of Earl Laurian - Sherburn.

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

Gorgeous carriages stopped in front of the gate one after another. They were exquisitely carved and golden gilding was spread all around the carriages.

Nobles from all walks of life got off the carriages, accompanied by the cold light of the swords on their waists.

The mansion was surrounded by heavily armed guards like an iron wall.

The nobles, led by the servants, entered the brightly lit mansion.

Among the nobles, the lords of the Kingdom of Kant and the twelve foreign ministers from the Empire exchanged greetings and compliments.

Everyone knew it.

The purpose of today's banquet was to deepen the relationship and friendship between the Empire and the Kingdom.

Aurelian arrived at Shorben early.

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

Today, Princess Aurelian changed into a silver dress.

Under the gentle cover of the night sky and the lights, she was like a dazzling star.

The slender dress highlighted Aurelian's figure, and the wide pleated skirt fluttered slowly under her body.

Her long silver hair was piled up high, and a silver hairpin passed through it.

Aurelian also smiled and responded to the nobles one by one.

Vanilla followed behind her, wearing a dignified maid outfit, looking cute and friendly.

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

With a pleasant sound of horse hooves and crisp bells, a team of luxurious carriages slowly drove to the door of Earl Laurian's house.

The carriage made of golden nanmu exuded a faint wood fragrance, and the national emblem of the kingdom was engraved in gold on both sides of the carriage.

Metal bells were hung on the edge of the top of the carriage, and a swaying candle was also hung at the back of the carriage.

The golden lines on the wheels were curved and delicate, and the saddles on the white horses were well-made. It was obvious at a glance that they were different from other noble convoys.

Many guards slowly and unevenly circled the carriage.

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

Until August got off the carriage, many nobles began to bow and salute August.

Only those nobles with more distinguished status revealed some dissatisfaction in their eyes when they saw August.

August got off the carriage and saw Aurelian standing at the door at a glance.

He couldn't help but smile and walked forward.

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

"I am very honored 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 without any results, he asked Aurelian in some confusion:

"Where is Senator Clevenna? Why don't I see him?"

"Teacher Victor is talking to Earl Laurian."

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

The king smiled and nodded.Nodding:

"I see."

"It just so happens that I have something to do with Count Laurian."

"Princess, why don't you come with me?"

Aurelian was about to politely refuse, but suddenly remembered that Teacher Victor was also up there, and the refusal words blurted out:

"Of course, that's what I meant."

She had to force a smile and go forward with August.

Fortunately, with Vanilla and Hilda following behind, they were not alone.

As soon as everyone entered the mansion, they saw a brightly lit hall in front of them.

The hall was spacious, and the candlelight illuminated the golden walls like a golden sea.

The green vegetation on both sides exuded a fresh scent, and the tables covered with white silk were filled with all kinds of delicacies.

The candlelight made the white silk a little brighter, and in the corner, several musicians were playing music attentively,

The elegant violin sound spread throughout the golden hall, making people who entered the mansion feel calm.

The nobles exchanged greetings and chatted with each other. When they saw August and the princess, they raised their glasses to show respect.

August nodded in response, feeling very satisfied with the atmosphere.

It is conceivable that Earl Laurian was very concerned about this banquet and prepared it very carefully.

However, he did not see Grand Duke Barro at this banquet.

Although Grand Duke Barro almost never attended such banquets, today was a little special after all.

August felt a little strange that he did not come.

As the group walked, the king even noticed the female student who lost in the academy last time - Joanna.

She was sitting quietly at the side of the banquet hall, and when she saw the king, she stared at him intently.

Aurelian also saw the girl.

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

The king also noticed Aurelion's expression. When he came to his senses, he turned and looked at Hilda:

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

Hilda nodded behind him and responded:

"Yes."

"How about going to accompany her?"

"This is Earl Laurian's territory, and Princess Aurelion is with me. You don't have to follow me all the time."

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

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After that, she turned around and walked towards Joanna obediently.

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

Seeing this, August began to introduce:

"She is Hilda's sister. Like her sister, she has good talents."

"But..."

He seemed to be sighing about something, looking over there, revealing a faint nostalgia, and continued:

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

"It was Hilda who took care of her sister and raised her up."

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

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

But her eyes shifted from August to her sister, and her eyes were full of intimacy.

Hilda sat next to Joanna and consoled her sister with concern.

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

"Because of Hilda's outstanding performance in the academy and her proud talent, she won two stars and became a true noble viscount."

"That was awarded to her by me personally."

Aurelian stood aside, silent.

August suddenly realized that he was too emotional, and when he came to his senses, he couldn't help but smile apologetically:

"Sorry, I said too much when I was distracted."

Aurelian looked at him with a smile:

"It doesn't matter, I think you have a good relationship with Viscount Hilda."

August smiled lightly and said helplessly:

"Really?"

"Maybe it's because we are classmates."

"Let's keep going."

...

Follow the golden stairs, in the golden corridor on the second floor.

Count Lauren and Victor stood in front of a door.

In the corridor with the flickering candlelight, the scarlet "No Entry" sign on the door was particularly eye-catching.

Count Laurian's eyes moved to Victor.

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

Laurian spoke expectantly, with a hint of pleading in his tone:

"Mr. Victor."

"Can you really cure my wife's insanity?"Victor was silent for a moment, and responded lightly:

"You can give it a try."

Laurin listened to Victor's answer, took a deep breath, and said solemnly:

"Then, I'll leave it to you."

Then, he removed the blue barrier and gently opened the door.

The view behind the door was pitch black, and the candlelight in the corridor could not penetrate the deep darkness in the room at all.

But the air behind the door seemed dull and sticky, and the smell of blood rushed towards him and flowed into Victor's nasal cavity.

Like sticky flesh hidden in the depths of the room.

Victor stood at the door and frowned.

Count Laurin looked at the darkness, closed his eyes painfully, and said desolately:

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

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

The bright moonlight illuminated Laurin's pale hair very brightly.

He slowly opened his eyes, and his red eyes, like his daughter's, revealed a serious look:

"My wife is in danger, although with your strength, it should not be a problem."

"But I still want to remind you, please be careful."

Victor said nothing more and stepped into the dark room.

It seemed that the black was slowly stirring in the depths, and a pool of dark ink wrapped Victor's body.

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

Squeak——

Bang!
