Mage? Spell Engineer!

The focus of the small constituency reform is on other states, but the core of success or failure lies in the Kingdom of Marin and the imperial capital.

The heart of the empire is in a state of unstable heartbeat.

There are frequent turmoil and attacks, and some bold people try to emulate the old events of Valuana. The news has lost its luster, and the people have gone from pride and pride to suspicion and uneasiness. The hatred among the upper class has subsided a little, but the mutual attacks among politicians have begun to reveal the appalling and ugly events to the people.

"Maintaining fairness and justice" is not the original intention, but it is nothing more than trying to use justice and public indignation to drag political opponents into the water, just like a pillow fight, when you hit the other party hard, the gorgeous silk pillowcase is broken and the dirty filling is exposed.

If you want to attribute all the problems, it is nothing more than the end of His Majesty the Emperor's life.

If there is anyone in the imperial capital who will be grateful for this situation with mixed feelings, in addition to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Richard can also be counted as one. Because His Majesty the Emperor is ill, according to convention, the nobles cannot hold festive activities until he recovers or the next emperor starts holding public banquets.

Therefore, an event that troubled him could be postponed.

"Tonight's ball will have the little daughter of the Grand Duke of Württemberg, the second daughter of the Marquis of Palatinate, and the only daughter of the Grand Duke of Bomya. These are their portraits, don't confuse the names." Richard's father threw three gold pendants over, and when they were opened, they should be able to see the girls' miniature busts.

The mother examined her son's "appearance": "Agnes is your cousin, she likes painting and humanistic philosophy, you should talk to her more.

"As for Bomya, my God, there are too many barbarians there, I'm afraid even the court there is tainted with barbarian habits, unlike the country that produces dignified and civilized ladies, just be polite to the only daughter of the Grand Duke of Crocker, Richard."

"But she is very beautiful, okay, I mean let the child choose for himself. "My mother was quite angry at my father's words, but at least he showed limited openness.

Today's ball has an important task - to arrange a blind date for Richard. All the participating female guests are aristocrats who match his family. If there is no bold move by a young man, Princess Amelia of the Kingdom of Byrne might have appeared on the dance floor.

After Richard came back, his parents soon realized that they must try to create a high-quality next generation of the family while their baby son is still at home, even though Richard insisted on the view he learned from the academy: magical talent will not be inherited stably.

"Even if our Richard is not a spellcaster, he has a good enough bloodline! "In the past, this comment was mostly made to Richard's elder brother, but this time when he returned home, his elder brother was nowhere to be seen, and his parents and servants were all vague when he asked.

Then what awaited him was a dance for the purpose of blind dating. As the news of reform had spread throughout the empire, and the rumors of the succession of the throne intensified, the nobles began to hover in the capital in the name of socializing. This made it convenient for Richard's family to move around.

Although the wedding could not be held immediately, it was possible to date and cultivate feelings first, and then cultivate a grandson.

The lights in the castle hall of the manor were on. In order to show its strength, all the light sources came from magic, and pointed-eared elves were invited to play music for the dance floor. The guests who came were either rich or noble.

The guests came in order After entering, Richard took his mother's hand and entertained everyone. Everyone praised him as a young talent with a promising future.

Richard wore a military uniform, a cape and medals symbolizing a wizard. At first, the wizards gathered on the battlefield in this dress, and then suffered heavy losses from the artillery shells of the Valois. Richard also couldn't help but think that the castle of this manor had lost its defensive function. Even the enemy's medium-sized field artillery could blow open the main gate, and continuous shelling of the side towers could cause collapse.

And the hall was full of high-value targets. No, maybe it's depreciated now, and even more so after the electoral reform.

In addition to him, there were many people who also wore military uniforms, gathered in groups on the edge of the dance floor, drinking and smoking without scruples, and using military ranks to show off their military power. In the past, such vulgar people would never appear in the halls of the great nobles. They were just insignificant little nobles, or even just unpopular little sons.

However, as the empire deployed its military power, even the former grand dukes and marquises were willing to lower their status and speak to these people cordially. What enhanced their value was the huge Imperial Army.

If the Imperial Army is simply understood as an armed force, it would be a big mistake. It has its own schools and priorities that are constantly established in wars. Behind it are giant companies that seek profits from arms, as well as thousands of small landowners after retirement, and a system of accompanying mages.

And the armed forces of those grand dukes were reorganized by the imperial capital at the beginning of the war because they were not good at defending the territory, which made the Southern Army of the Empire Completely incorporated into the war machine dominated by the Kingdom of Marin.

So, these young officers entered the palace. A military uniform and a solemn temperament can both frighten people and attract the hearts of the girls of the empire at the moment. Such a trend of choosing a spouse is also due to the propaganda machine of the empire.

However, Richard knew his mother's thoughts. Those officers existed to set off himself: among those officers with higher ranks, those with lower ranks did not have a bright future as he did. Richard said without hesitation: everyone sitting and standing is not as handsome as him!

It is not difficult to prove from the performance of the ladies who wanted to take a few more glances but were embarrassed to look.

Finally, the last guest entered. Grand Duke Crocker of Bomya himself did not come, but his wife and daughter entered the ball scene.

Sure enough, their clothes were different from others. The lady wore a too bright red dress, and the daughter wore a long dress with geometric patterns, which made her look particularly lively, but not solemn. The dresses of both mother and daughter were not suitable for this place.

Richard's mother raised her eyebrows, obviously saying in her heart that it was really a barbarian style.

The girl looked up, staring at Richard with her big eyes, and froze for a while before speaking: "I didn't expect your painter to be more honest and not over-beautify."

"Libus!" her mother scolded.

Next, Richard turned into a tool man according to the process, inviting the girls to dance in the order specified by his parents. He really followed his mother's instructions and paid special attention to his cousin.

She hesitated and tried to chat with Richard, but Richard couldn't keep up with the conversation. Knowing the most popular pastoral painting family in the imperial capital, it was really difficult for him.

Richard's reaction frustrated his cousin, but the colonel of the imperial army did not feel sorry, and mechanically found the last mission target.

"I'm not going! I'm not full yet!" Libus was very straightforward, with icing on the corners of her mouth.

"Okay." Richard turned around and left as if he had been pardoned.

"Wait a minute!" The woman was anxious: "According to the novel, you should say this: Reject me? Woman, you have successfully aroused my interest!" Her lines were very fluent, and there was a strange and embarrassing magic.

This forced Richard to turn around: "Where did you see the novel?"

"The most popular serial novel in the Kingdom of Bain, "The Domineering Wizard Falls in Love with Me", a single volume! And it is signed by the author Martin!"

Richard saw the other party take out the novel in public from a place that was not clearly stated.
