This is where the dinner begins.

Magically-powered crystal chandeliers rotate along the center of the hall, and knights in red capes stand outside the villa doors.

The princes and nobles exchanged their thoughts with each other, and some topics that were usually extremely sensitive became less difficult to talk about because of the wine and atmosphere.

Of course, there are also wives who are looking for a partner for their children, and they are keenly scanning every young talent present.

Their wolf-like eyes saw Eli, who had just entered the lobby, and immediately found a less conspicuous position to hide.

That look always reminded Eli of the old men and women in the park in the past.

What's more interesting is that Emma and Chizuru obviously have extremely outstanding looks, but they are not in the scope of those people's search.

In fact, Eli's reason is understandable.

Emma had eaten the entire long table from the moment she entered the lobby.

While eating, from time to time he also pulled the rich daughter on the side to chatter, looking like a ruffian who had just been released.

As for Chizuru... She looks quite aristocratic in her manners and conversation, but...

The quaint long knife pinned to her waist was enough to make people feel frightened just by looking at it.

After the banquet, it was time for the regular ball.

Eli leaned against the balcony of the villa, watching the scattered snowflakes gradually drift in the sky outside.

There is not a single ray of light in the dark sky, and the wind that sweeps through the place from time to time curls the leaves on the treetops into a whirlpool of withered yellow, which forms a stark contrast to the warm and sultry atmosphere of the room.

The maids held the oven for heating, and sent a touch of warmth to the knights guarding the outside of the villa.

As classical and soft music played, the girls in evening dresses began to choose their dance partners in the lobby.

The nobles who had packed their bags stood quietly in their respective places, waiting for the princess who belonged to them.

Emma looked at the girls at the ball, they would deliberately show off their white thighs under their skirts, and in such a ball, the reserve and pride could no longer match their self-esteem as girls.

The exposed skin is as white and tender as milk, and the young body is always particularly eye-catching.

But Emma, who looked at them, gradually darkened her eyes.

She quietly lifted her neckline, which was not too low, as if to hide something.

Eli looked at the dazzling scene in front of him, and for a moment he lost his mind, he had only seen such a scene in movies.

The girls wore a variety of dresses, as well as floral-like sundresses, and translucent skirts with white lace trims, like a flock of white swans proudly raising their heads to choose their husbands.

Looking at the high heels in front of her, which accompanied the rhythm and gently stepped on from time to time, Eli held her head, but there was no appreciation in her eyes.

The age of these girls seemed to him to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, and their bodies that had not yet fully developed were no less than flowers waiting to bloom.

At such an age, they have already begun to pay their youth for their respective families.

I have to say that some of the things that the nobles bear on them are indeed beyond the comprehension of Eli, who is a modern person.

"To each his own way."

Eli shook his head, rejecting his notions to the back of his mind.

Now he is not a person in this world, and he naturally understands the principle of following the customs.

Not liking the atmosphere of the ball, Eli began to pace along the promenade outside the main hall, admiring the night view while always on the lookout for the scent around her.

With the systematic identification function, he is not worried about missing anything.

As Eli walked to the flower-filled bed, he exhaled softly and looked up at the sky above him with no light.

It's been more than a year since I've crossed over here, but to be honest, Eli still dreams about her past life sometimes.

He reached out and felt the cold sensation of the snow falling into his palm.

For a while, this white-haired boy and the slowly falling snow particles formed a rather harmonious picture.

"Didn't you meet the right female partner?"

A gentle female voice came from the other side of the flower garden.

Eli tilted her head slightly, and it was a girl in a wheelchair.

A black and gold dress with a white shirt with embroidered lace underneath.

A camel-colored velvet shawl fell on her shoulders, and under her tubular fur hat, her long purple hair in intricate braids hung down to her waist like a waterfall.

There were a lot of snow particles on the camel-colored wool boots under her feet, and it was obvious that the girl had been here for a long time.

She didn't look like the girls in the hall, and she exuded an eye-catching beauty.

If you have to find a way to describe it, she is more like a peacock sitting in a mountain stream, and when you notice it, you will unconsciously be attracted by that temperament.

"I don't really like that kind of occasion."

Eli didn't answer as the girl expected, after all, if he really said that, I am afraid that the other party will think of himself as the kind of man who is conceited.

"Hmm... I kind of like it, but unfortunately I don't have the ability to dance like those kids. The

girl looked at her legs slumped in a wheelchair and smiled softly.

Her voice sounded warm as the wind, and it was clear that she was not as lonely as her words suggested, but had already looked down on these things.

Eli didn't answer, but tried to use the system to parse the other party's identity.

As a result, Eli immediately had the idea of leaving this place.

[Name: Iloti. Colverkins

] [Race: Human] [Class: Magician (Lv.30)

] [Title: Dragon Core Princess] [

Attribute: Strength E; Magic A; Agile E; Physical Fitness D; Spirit A; Device D; Summoning B; [

Note: The third princess of the Loongson Kingdom, one of the heirs to the throne]

... He seemed to be able to guess something.

Presumably, the mysterious person who invited him here was Her Royal Highness in front of him.

"Hehe... Mr. Eli, your eyes have changed a lot, and it seems that you already know my identity.

Iloti didn't deliberately look at Eli, she held the hot pot in her arms for heating, and glanced at Eli indifferently, and she could already see the change in Eli's eyes.

"Her Royal Highness."

Eli didn't act as freely as usual this time, but honestly performed a common etiquette to her in the Loongson Kingdom.

After all, the identity of the princess is there, and...

Seeing Iloti in a wheelchair, Eli felt for no reason that he should treat this girl with respect.

"Don't be informal, we're not in the halls, and you're not my subordinate."

Iloti smiled, then picked up the hot pot in her hand and continued to

Eli, "Just treat me as an ordinary girl,

this conversation between us is just an exchange between peers."

"Her Royal Highness invited me here, not just to talk to me."

Eli stared at the other for a long time, but finally sighed and chose to puncture the window paper.

After all, he wasn't the kind of person who liked to hide and tuck.

"Hehe... As far as I've heard, Mr. Eli is a very smart man..."

"Whoosh!"

Before Iloti could finish her sentence, a silver arrow sliced through the night sky and slammed into her skull.

At the same moment, the Death of Chimanra came out of its sheath, and Eli's form suddenly came behind Iloti at an almost treacherous speed.

The moment the dagger and the arrow clashed, Eli's eyes were reflected only by the sparks that burst out.

At this time, there were also bursts of panicked cries at the dance party scene that should have been singing and dancing.

Eli looked up and saw billowing smoke from the windows of the Duke's Palace.

The next moment, several corpses were thrown from the window.

Eli held the dagger in front of him, warily observing his surroundings.

It seemed that the so-called assassins didn't need him to deliberately look for them at all, they had already started to act first.
