The Master of the Strange Realm
Chapter 666
The second piece was relatively short, and there was still a lot of time left after dancing this one. Jenkins wanted to do it again, but before he could ask Alexia for her opinion, he saw a black-haired girl in a long black and white gauze dress walking towards the two of them.
She was taller than Alexia, and had a fish-shaped hairpin in her hair. This was a rare style, but it was very suitable for the lovely temperament of this young girl.
"Sir, can I invite you to dance? I like your book very much."
The black-haired girl took the initiative to ask, her voice lively and powerful, even a little playful. Her two big and beautiful eyes blinked at Jenkins, with a very sweet smile on her face. The black-haired girl looked familiar, as if she was very familiar with Jenkins and Alexia.
Jenkins was startled by the sudden invitation, while Alexia turned her head to look in the direction of the sofa without any hesitation. She was stunned, then turned around and looked at the girl in the black and white gauze dress in front of her with a strange expression, then looked at Jenkins, and then at the girl.
"Sorry, I have my own partner."
Although this girl did the same thing as Viscount Wiktham just now, she had no ill intentions, so Jenkins softened his tone.
"Just one dance!"
The black-haired girl pointed out, then blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked at Alexia. Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was self-evident.
"This..."
Alexia had never encountered such a thing before. After thinking about it, she actually let go of Jenkins' hand:
"Okay, but I want to watch from the side."
Jenkins looked at the short lady in surprise. The latter shrugged and looked up and down at the black-haired girl:
"Only this time."
Alexia didn't sound like she was talking in anger, but rather like she had encountered something very interesting.
"Of course, only this time."
The black-haired girl said excitedly, and then ignored Alexia again, reaching out to hold Jenkins.
"Sorry, I have my own female companion."
He respected his girls, and Alexia had just rejected the young Victor. No matter what the reason, Jenkins could not dance with this girl, otherwise it would make Jenkins look very mean and hypocritical.
"I have already allowed it. If you only dance with me at a dance like today, others will tease Dolores."
Alexia gave an unreasonable explanation, and then really pushed Jenkins hard. Seeing this, the black-haired girl took Jenkins' hand again. Jenkins looked at the short lady in confusion and was pulled into the dancing crowd by the black-haired girl.
The girl was very flexible and very good at dancing. Even if she danced with the absent-minded Jenkins, she could drive Jenkins to perform normally.
Alexia, standing on the periphery of the crowd, watched the two dance and asked the waiter with a tray for a glass of champagne:
"I never thought that the man I liked would..."
She said in a low voice, and took a big gulp of wine to calm her nerves. Alexia rarely drank like Jenkins, so she could show her mood at this time.
Holding the cup and hugging her chest, she blinked her eyes, and a series of runes flashed before her eyes, and then the world reflected in her eyes showed a slightly different appearance from normal. However, in this different world, Jenkins and the girl with black hair and black and white gauze skirt still maintained their original postures and looked normal.
"Audrey said before that I would be entangled with a cat in this life. I thought it was a curse related to cats, but I didn't expect..."
She thought to herself, and then saw Jenkins being hugged by the black-haired girl who was laughing happily.
Soon the song ended, the strange girl let go of Jenkins' hand, and quickly merged into the crowd and disappeared, not even giving Jenkins a chance to ask questions. Jenkins still had a puzzled look on his face. He walked back to Alexia and said without asking the short lady:
"Have I seen her before? She gives me a very familiar feeling. Yes, a very, very familiar feeling..."
The short lady pursed her lips and said nothing, holding the wine glass in one hand and turning her head away from him, which made Jenkins even more confused.
Next, we prepared to welcome Miss Windsor and the Stuarts. Miss Windsor arrived earlier and was a little surprised to see Jenkins waiting for her in the courtyard. After knowing that this was Queen Isabella's request, she was a little disappointed.
Because of the cooperation, Miss Windsor knew Alexia, so the two sides did not need to introduce themselves. Miss Windsor also tentatively asked whether Hathaway and Britney were also here, and looked relieved after getting a negative answer.
Miss Windsor did not have a male companion, so after seeing Jenkins and Alexia, she stood with them. The three talked about the recent situation in Beldiran, and then avoided others and communicated about the meeting with the army corps commander this afternoon.
Things went smoothly. With the reputation of Jenkins Williamite as a legitimate descendant of the royal family, everything became much simpler. After all, Jenkins was not usurping the throne, but wanted to take back the "power of his ancestors." He is a positive character and stands on the side of morality.
Precisely because of Jenkins' status as a royal descendant, Miss Windsor's original supporters had objections to Miss Windsor giving up the throne and supporting Jenkins, but they were not unacceptable. Most people make political investments, and they care about the prospects and expected benefits of the investment, rather than what part of the investment they actually made.
PS: I don’t need to tell you who the dancer is...
Also: As of 9 o'clock this morning, the reward has just been enough. An update will be added on the 18th.
Chapter 1652 Chapter 1626 Game of Thrones
Miss Windsor is quite capable. Now she has almost sorted out the people who originally supported her, and then worked with Dolores to eliminate some stubborn people. With Jenkins' ability to identify lies, this job was quite simple, so people in Miss Windsor's faction also saw the man they were loyal to.
Now Miss Windsor's goal is to win the support of the Royal Army as much as possible. In this regard, it is not convenient for Dolores to help, so she can only do it herself. Once successful, Jenkins will receive help from most of Fidicli's domestic troops at the same time.
Fortunately, there is no air force in this era, otherwise things would be more troublesome.
Jenkins stood by the flower bed talking to the two ladies while looking at the bonfire lit in the center of the manor courtyard not far away. There are more and more guests, and it is impossible for everyone to dance in the house. It is a nice day and it is nice to walk outside around the campfire and watch the stars.
"Meow~"
A lazy meow came from his shoulder, and Jenkins subconsciously raised his hand to scratch the cat's chin. His index finger was slightly bent and stretched under Chocolate's little head. The cat immediately squinted its eyes and raised its head, making a very pleasant sound.
After dancing with Alexia and the strange black-haired girl just now, I went to look for chocolate. I thought it would be angry because it was left alone. Unexpectedly, the cat looked very happy and a little happy. Headed.
This made Jenkins suspect that his cat had suddenly discovered the benefits of "freedom". He was a little worried that Chocolate would like to act alone from now on, so in the darker corner of his mind, he thought that he must find a way to "trap" Chocolate by his side forever.
The setting sun in the west has completely disappeared, and night has fallen. After not chatting for long, I saw people in the courtyard gathering towards the entrance of the manor. Sure enough, the Stuarts had arrived.
The brothers and sisters came together. The Stuart family has a good bloodline, and every young man is handsome and beautiful. They walked in together from the gate of the manor, and people nearby greeted them one after another. The phrases "Prince Stuart" and "Princess Stuart" kept ringing for a while.
Jenkins suddenly wondered if anyone would repeat these two titles dozens of times if they met Dolores' brothers and sisters on the road. Thinking of this somewhat funny scene, a smile appeared on his face. Alexia on the side knew that Jenkins was distracted again, so she grabbed his sleeve and shook it, signaling him not to show such a weird expression.
After the Stuarts arrived, they first went to see Queen Isabella, and then dispersed to enjoy the night's dance. Of course, Dolores took Julia and came to Jenkins and Alexia immediately, followed by the eldest princess Yanni Stuart.
The eldest princess, who has lived in the North for a long time, knows Miss Windsor. The two seem to have met when they were children, and they have a pretty good relationship.
With an acquaintance present, Yanni Stuart had a reason to stay. She looked at Miss Windsor with a red wine glass, and after a few test sentences, she knew that she and Jenkins had an unusual relationship.
"Compared to us, the situation you face is really good."
She was talking about the throne. She, Dolores and the eldest prince Sarlotte Stuart were their biggest rivals, and her father Salsi II still closely guarded his rights and suppressed all Children, and Jenkins is the person with the greatest advantage in the Kingdom of Fidicli, and has gained a lot of strong support in the country, and Queen Isabella does not hold on to the crown as tightly as the king of the North Kingdom.
"My situation is not very good either. There are a lot of people staring at me."
Jenkins joked that among all the people present, he was the only one holding juice, and then told what happened just now when Alexia was invited to dance.
"Victum? I know him. He is one of the people Her Majesty the Queen values more. My spies said that he met Her Majesty alone a few days ago. This is probably the reason why he was so defiant tonight."
Miss Windsor introduced.
"By provoking in a place like this, the viscount sounds like there is something wrong here."
Yanni Stuart pointed to her head.
"Maybe because of some news from your queen?"
Dolores guessed, and then said:
"I always feel that the old lady looks scarier than my father."
"She has been sitting on the throne for more than fifty years, and she has kept Fedictry safe for more than fifty years. I don't believe that she is a kind person."
Yanni Stuart pointed this out to her sister, and although Miss Windsor was not able to comment after hearing this, she also agreed with this point of view.
Since we are attending a dance, it is not good to just stand there and chat all the time. When the guests were almost all here, Queen Isabella, the host here, simply said a few words and let everyone go about their business as they pleased.
Jenkins invited the ladies around him to dance individually, and even danced with Yanni Stuart at the end. Only Julia did not accept Jenkins' invitation. She said that she was just a maid and there was no reason to dance with Jenkins at such a ball.
The ball lasted until very late. In addition to dancing and chatting, Miss Windsor also introduced several young people to Jenkins. These people are all our own people. Although most of them are older than Jenkins, they all show high respect for Jenkins.
As for Dolores and her eldest sister, they chatted about Lu En's current situation. The royal family members are now thousands of miles away from the country's capital. Due to the communication technology of this era, it is difficult for everyone to grasp first-hand information about Loen.
But Yanni Stuart had similar thoughts to Jenkins. She also believed that her father wanted to purge some people, so he took the family to temporarily leave their country.
She mentioned that she knew that the southern defenders of the Hampavo Kingdom had recently shown signs of moving north. Dolores said that the situation in Runen was calm now and nothing could be seen for the time being.
At the end of the boring dance, Prince Sallott Stuart, the eldest brother of the Stuart family, found Jenkins holding a wine glass. The two met once in Loen, and now that Jenkins is recognized as Fidictelli's "prince", Sallot Stuart of course wants to come over and say congratulations.
He knew the relationship between Jenkins and his sisters, and he also knew very well that the only reason Dolores was in Nolan now and did not visit her father frequently was because she was busy with the young man in front of her.
The atmosphere of the conversation between the two was very good, and Sarlotte Stuart was very polite. But he hinted that if Jenkins was willing to marry Dolores and vowed never to set foot in the Hampavo Kingdom again, he would be willing to pay a large sum of money to support Jenkins in becoming king, and he would even be willing to serve as the eldest brother and prepare a wedding for his sister. A large and valuable dowry, which may even include some disputed lands in the southern part of the kingdom.
He made this promise as the heir to the Northern Kingdom.
Chapter 1653 Chapter 1627 Out-of-control plan
Sarlotte Stuart's good idea of killing two birds with one stone could easily eliminate a competitor and may even have a positive impact on future relations between the two countries.
But the prince of the North still thinks too simply. Jenkins now thinks that he wants them all.
After the ball, everyone left separately. Dolores would go with Alexia, and Miss Windsor also had her own servant to pick her up, so there was no need for Jenkins to send her off.
Jenkins gave Dolores two rings [Martial Red] and [Conjuration Blue] in front of Alexia. The Red of Martial Arts did not improve him much. Although his physical fitness was not as good as Professor Burns, it could not be improved with just one ring. Because of the gender exclusivity of the two rings, the somewhat useful [Conjured Blue] had to be given away as well. Considering that Dolores was the weakest among the ladies with extraordinary powers, Jenkins gave the ring to her. .
In front of Alexia, I was worried that she would misunderstand.
"Oh, give me a ring~"
Alexia teased, and then saw Dolores solemnly put [Conjuration Blue] into her pocket, and then gave [Martial Red] to Julia:
"You wouldn't mind if I gave your gift to someone else, would you?"
she asked.
"Of course I don't mind."
Jenkins shook his head. Julia became a benefactor a little earlier than Fini. This happened after a strange situation in Rune last winter. Now Julia is only a first-level benefactor, so a ring like this is very good for her.
"Then this is for you."
He thought for a moment, put his hand into his pocket, and
B-02-3-2526 [Air Bomb Ring] was given to Alexia:
"Everyone has a share."
"As expected, you still don't understand a lady's thoughts. Oh, Jenkins, I don't need this."
The short lady pushed Jenkins' hand away, turned around and boarded the carriage, then turned back to him and said:
"The ring I want is not a ring like this."
Jenkins knew what she meant.
Tomorrow is Thursday, probably in the afternoon or evening, Chesland's ship will dock at Nolan Port, and Jenkins will attend the welcome ceremony as a representative.
Because he didn't sleep all night last night, he planned to go to bed early tonight to refresh himself. He has been very busy recently.
But this idea did not come true, because after arriving home, another letter was found on the shoe cabinet. Only few people have the key to the Jenkins house, and even fewer can leave a letter.
After opening it, it was discovered that it was Hathaway's handwriting. She asked Jenkins to go find them immediately after returning home. They would encounter some trouble, and Jenkins needed to pretend to be unaware and rescue them.
"Didn't Hathaway take Britney to play at a friend's manor in the suburbs? It turned out that the so-called plan was for the hero to save the beauty? Isn't it a bit cliche?"
Jenkins thought curiously, burned the letter, left the house again, and then flew to the outskirts of the city on the unicorn with the cat who was in an unusually good mood tonight.
After crossing the foggy circle outside the increasingly weird city, the manor was right in front of us. That is the real estate of Miss Lawrence's family. Miss Lawrence is one of the survivors of the serial murders at the mountain resort during the winter snow mountain trip. She has a good relationship with Britney and Hathaway.
The unicorn landed in the grove outside the manor. It was dark at night, and there were few people nearby, so no one noticed them. After landing, Jenkins determined the location and looked at the manor with lights on from a distance, wondering what tricks Hathaway would arrange.
"First, confirm Hathaway's location."
He blinked and looked at the manor, hoping to see Hathaway's aura. In fact, he did see it, but what he saw was the black aura covering the entire manor. The rich black was undoubtedly a weird thing.
"So big?"
He was shocked, but he also understood that even if Hathaway wanted to make a hero save the beauty, he would never let Britney be in danger. The situation in front of him was definitely not a plan. I'm afraid the girls in the manor are really in trouble.
"This is really..."
Jenkins is used to encountering these things. Although this time it involves the girls, he didn't panic. He took out the silver dagger in the paper scabbard from his jacket pocket, then squatted down and carved the holy emblem of the sage on the soft forest soil. He took out another paper charm folded into a triangle, tore off a piece of paper from the notebook and hurriedly wrote down the current situation, put the piece of paper together with the triangle charm, and then threw it on the holy emblem of the sage.
"May the goddess bless~"
He called softly, and as a flash of fire flashed on the holy emblem, the charm and the notebook paper disappeared.
This is the method that Dad often uses to contact the church, but only high-level gifters above level five can learn and use it. Jenkins announced that after he was promoted to level six, he learned this ritual from Dad during his time in Beldiran, and this was the first time he used it.
"Okay, the church should arrive in twenty minutes to half an hour."
He stood up and walked forward, and soon came to the outside of the woods, looking at the quiet manor not far away:
"I won't wait here."
