When she opened her mouth, the empress's heart began to ripple for the first time, and a hint of anticipation arose spontaneously.

The identity of Xiao is finally revealed at this moment.

And this also means... maybe she will be able to see him in the real world soon.

When she thought of this, Yves couldn't help but reveal an expectant smile on her face, and she looked at Shirley quietly.

Until he saw his subordinate lowering his head and said something respectfully.

The indifferent smile on Yves's face slowly froze as this confidant spoke.

Chapter 13 The Ball Begins

It was night 4u≈"0≌⒉"]思钐馓⑤中〖】转‖QUn:.

Pound Manor seemed quite deserted under the cover of night, with no one to be seen except for the occasional patrolling guards.

The wind blew through the woods, the leaves rustled, and the chirping of early summer cicadas echoed in my ears.

Cesare strolled in the garden on a summer night, feeling particularly relaxed.

Nightingale said before that only when she was in the inner world could she completely let go of herself and think about nothing.

This is actually the same for Cesar.

Whenever he sees the guests in the pub sitting at the bar, listening to music, drinking and chatting, he would feel a sense of relaxation.

However, due to his recent engagement, César's 'business' hours were only about half an hour, and those guests might not have had a chance to visit him before César had already left the other world.

Fortunately, despite this busy schedule, a turn for the better has occurred.

Tomorrow night's dance will be the beginning of a turning point.

"I'm really looking forward to the dance tomorrow."

Xizel admired the night view in the garden and said casually, "There should still be some people who doubt me now, right?"

A dandy young master who used to have a bad reputation suddenly awakens extraordinary power overnight and officially becomes the candidate for the successor of the Pound family...

It's hard for anyone to believe it.

"If it were me, I wouldn't believe it until I saw you in person."

Isabella followed behind Xizel silently, her voice cold and crisp, "You are now a transcendent. If you can successfully enter the clock tower next week... then your past reputation in the royal city will be completely reversed."

"And... no one would associate your becoming a transcendent with the transcendent potion."

In other words, Xizel possesses a unique talent, and therefore awakened extraordinary powers overnight... At that time, this will be the rumor spread by the outside world.

After all, no one would believe that a dandy young man who only knew how to date and pick up girls on weekdays could collect an extraordinary magic potion and successfully awaken with just one extraordinary magic potion.

Not to mention César, even for Duke Oka, it would be very difficult to collect a complete set of ingredients for a supernatural potion.

Because among the extraordinary potions, there are two materials that only grow deep in the forbidden land and cannot be bought with money.

"Is there any movement from Craig?" Cesar asked suddenly.

Isabella was wearing a plain white long dress tonight. The evening breeze blew over the hem of her skirt, faintly revealing the woman's fair and delicate skin.

A silver pattern vaguely emerged between those two proud breasts, but it was not clear in the dim light.

She is truly worthy of being the head maid. Her body proportions alone are better than those of all the maids in the manor.

If I had the strength to do so, I would really like to ask Isabella to untie her tie so that I can see what the pattern on her chest is... César glanced at her inconspicuously and thought to himself.

As if she noticed César's gaze, Isabella glanced at him sideways and said, "You are a married man now, so you should pay more attention to your influence."

Xizel was stunned: "Does that mean that if I cancel the engagement in the future, I can stop caring about the impact and do what I want?"

Isabella was stunned for a moment, and could not help but give the boy a disdainful look.

After a moment, he continued, "Since you awakened your extraordinary power, there has been no movement from Craig."

"Perhaps... he is afraid of you, so he plans to lie dormant for a while."

Isabella doesn't seem as cold as she seems... Cecil saw through it but didn't say anything. He smiled and said, "With Craig's personality, he can't just sit there and do nothing."

In the past, whenever Cesar acted like a dandy young master, Craig planned to kill him to secure his position as the heir to the Pound family.

Now that he sees that his younger brother is threatened... Craig may be wary, but he is more likely to be thinking about how to get rid of this good brother of his, right?

"During this period of time, you should continue to have people secretly monitor him and report to me at any time if anything happens." Xi Zeer ordered.

However, having said that, as long as he is still in the manor, Craig will not act rashly.

As for Novia...I wonder if she will do anything?

You know, the Reinhardt family, to which Novia belongs, has always supported the Sixth Princess to ascend the throne.

This time, the Reinhardt family secretly promoted the marriage between César and the third princess, which was also the result of Novia's guidance behind the scenes.

But now...

It seems that not only has the Third Princess' reputation not been damaged, but she is likely to have an extremely powerful helper in the future.

...I wonder what Novia feels now?

Thinking of this, Xizel couldn't help but chuckle.

Thinking about it this way, I am really looking forward to the dance tomorrow...

...

Pound Manor, located south of the royal city, was given to Duke Oka by the former emperor of Camelot Empire after he made many contributions.

Looking at the entire Camelot Empire, the only people who can own such a large estate are the brother of the previous Camelot Emperor, Prince Cambra, and one of the branches of the royal family, the general who currently guards the northern border, Daemon Christian.

He is the biological father of the Third Princess.

The next afternoon.

The setting sun burned the clouds red. Usually at this time, César and the others would have been enjoying dinner in the Golden Hall.

However, today is a little bit special.

In the evening of that day, Pound Manor welcomed a group of guests.

Carriages were parked outside the gate of Pound Manor, and elegant nobles walked into the manor one after another.

On ordinary days, many nobles did not have the opportunity to meet the Grand Duke of Camelot Empire, but this ball was an excellent opportunity to meet him.

To think of it another way, even if I can't meet Duke Oka, this ball is also a good opportunity to expand my social circle.

Anyone who can receive the invitation letter from Duke Oka must have a very good status in the empire.

As night falls, the lights in Pound Manor are bright.

The resplendent golden hall is filled with all kinds of precious decorations, and classical and soothing music echoes in the hall.

There were more than a dozen gorgeous crystal chandeliers hanging from the towering dome, shining their charming light on the nobles who were walking around in every corner of the hall.

As the protagonist of the night, César had already changed into a well-fitting tuxedo and was sitting in a corner tasting a large lobster from the depths of the North Sea.

Isabella stood silently in the corner looking at her young master, unable to bear to watch.

Under normal circumstances, before the ball begins, it is also a good opportunity for the nobles to communicate with each other and get to know each other better.

If you meet a girl you like, you can invite her to dance with you when the party starts.

however……

From just now till now, countless nobles have come forward to talk to Xizel, but in the end they all left after chatting for a few words.

Everybody was there for the dance, except Cesare, who was there to eat.

He was also very friendly and invited others to sit down and eat with him.

"Your reputation among the nobles has improved with great difficulty. Is it really okay now?"

Finally, Isabella couldn't help but stepped forward and reminded in a low voice.

Xizel slowly rolled a large lobster in the garlic sauce, then took a bite and said casually, "Their opinions are not important. What matters is what the people in the royal city think."

"After tonight, they will spread the news that I have become a transcendent... and that will be enough."

Isabella hesitated and asked, "So you are just here to have a meal today?"

Xizel sighed softly: "I would like to have a quiet meal... but it may not be that easy tonight."

After all, tonight's dance was because of him.

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud commotion could be heard faintly in the distance.

Isabella raised her head and looked forward.

At some point, a woman walked into the golden hall with elegant and sexy steps.

The woman had long red hair, light makeup on her already charming face, and a black and gold dress that wrapped around her enchanting and sexy figure.

She was wearing a pair of sexy high heels.

A pair of eyes are charming and enchanting, like a natural beauty.

Her appearance seemed to have instantly become the focus of the hall. For a moment, countless eyes turned to her, and some young talents looked at the woman with a bit of passion in their eyes.

Novia Reinhart 0∮※0㈣⑻娰·$贰啾? .⑸中〓※转—群:」:!

The nobles in the royal city are no strangers to this name.

She is the daughter of Marquis Burton. Although the Reinhardt family is now in decline, it once had a glorious era and produced a demigod-level swordsman.

What's more, even the declining Reinhardt family is not comparable to most of the nobles present.

Under the gazes of everyone, Novia walked into the hall with a smile on her face and nodded politely to the nobles.

Then, she glanced around the hall and soon looked at the young man sitting in the corner.

Novia calmly came to the boy's side, pursed her red lips, and smiled charmingly: "Xizel, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Xizel raised his head and smiled as well: "I didn't expect it to be so soon. I thought the next time I would see Sister Novia would be at my wedding."

Novia raised her eyebrows slightly, seeming to realize that there was something behind the boy's words.

But she still kept smiling and said, "Congratulations on becoming a transcendent. Now it's hard to say whether your wedding with the Third Princess will be successful."

Xizel nodded lightly, his expression serious: "If it doesn't work out, the one I will marry in the future may be Sister Novia."

Novia's face changed slightly.

You know, she secretly pushed César to get married, and her ultimate goal was to avoid the possibility of marrying César in the future.

And what César said now was undoubtedly a step right in the minefield of this proud young lady.

Seeing the woman's slightly changing expression, Xizel couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't worry, I was just joking just now, Sister Novia wouldn't take it seriously, right?"

After a slight pause, Xizel said softly:

"Actually, I don't plan to cancel the engagement now."

Chapter 14 Go over and let me see him

He doesn’t plan to cancel the engagement…?

The moment she heard this, a look of disbelief appeared on Novia's face.

She subconsciously looked at Xizel and said, "Do you really want to marry Yulina?"

Xizel thought about it seriously and said, "I think it's not impossible. Although people outside say that the Third Princess has a bad temper, that's just a rumor. I think Miss Yulina is pretty good. She's beautiful and gentle, and she's also the one chosen by the king."

Beautiful, gentle personality... ?

For a moment, Novia even thought that César was teasing her.

That's the third princess who is known as the 'descendant of the witch'... Xizel actually thinks she is very beautiful?

And you don’t want to cancel the engagement?

But when she saw César's serious expression, Novia suddenly realized that César didn't seem to be joking.

He sincerely thought Yulina was pretty.

Xizel peeled the lobster slowly and said, "Actually, I am quite grateful to Sister Novia. If it weren't for you, I might not have met the Third Princess."

This sentence is no different from an open card.

Xizel already knew that she was one of the people behind the scenes.

Novia's usual calm and charming smile finally faded, and she asked, "You don't blame me?"
