The villain queen is eavesdropping on my inner thoughts and she won't let me lie down?

Maple Spirit Moon Shadow Palace, inner hall.

The Queen of Eternal Night floated in front of the locker on the top of the hall, opened small drawers one by one, and compared and selected jewelry suitable for tonight's dance while waiting for the formal opening of the ball.

Sparkling gems always have a fatal attraction to women. Even as strong as the Queen of Eternal Night, she did not pass their consciousness test.

On the way to sweeping across the countries, countless princes and nobles had accumulated for countless years, and selected and collected rare treasures, and finally all went into the Queen's private "jewelry box".

Hang them all out, the kind of big box that can be used for jewelry exhibitions.

But there are troubles with too many good things.

You can't wear all the things you like and look good on your body, right?

Although the choice of adults is that I want them all, the picture reads as stunning the world, written as the relocation of a jewelry store, and then becomes a world-famous painting.

"Speaking of which, I don't know what that kid is wearing today?"

The magic light flashed between the fingers of the Queen of Eternal Night.

A detailed and miniature model of the main hall of Xinghan Palace appeared on her palm, with countless little people coming and going on it, which was the grand entrance scene performed in front of the palace at the same time.

The next second, she found Roger's position through the magic beacon.

This is her territory, and no one will be able to discover it if you peek.

Let's not talk about her magic attainments, just count how many back doors she left on the protective magic circle of Xinghan Palace...

The Queen of Eternal Night opened the picture and then zoomed in. Soon, her eyes as deep as the sea lit up and revealed a satisfied smile.

Humph, at least you didn't embarrass me!

First of all, I have to affirm Angelina's aesthetics, and secondly, I have to say that the lighting in my Xinghan Palace is really good.

Finally, I just barely admit that some people are not talented, but they are still pretty good!

Roger tonight was naturally dressed up by his sister.

A brand new black dress, made by the empire's top fashion master, well-cut, showing off a slender figure, with a silver dark pattern on the chest to depict Charles's family crest.

In addition, there are not too many decorations, and the least design, but it tests the aesthetic taste of the maker and the temperament of the wearer.

In addition, this dress is attached with a small but exquisite magic circle, which is lit up by the fire magic that Roger automatically absorbs. On his shoulders and head, there are several naughty and jumping fire elements that appear from time to time.

Regardless of the real strength, at first glance, this must be a very handsome and powerful young magician!

This is the light pollution clothing characteristic of the Eternal Night World, also known as the magician's dress.

Because the magic circle above must be driven by the magician's own magic, people with only status but no strength will just wear ordinary clothes.

This kind of dress has very high requirements for the maker. Not only must it be cut, but the magic level must not be bad. Looking at the fashion masters who can make it in the empire, they can count them on one hand.

Even if there are no additional attributes, each set starts at thousands of gold coins, which can be said to be wearing a mansion on the body.

It is also time-consuming to make. Roger's suit is obviously not made at the last minute, but Angelina has prepared it for him a long time ago. It's just that he has the magician strength to match this suit now.

After all, if you don't play well with special effects, you will be a fake online game.

But if you play well and your appearance and figure are not bad, then it will be a limited costume with legendary special effects.

You should know that there are so many powerful magicians in the world of Eternal Night, and the demand for concave clothing will definitely not be as simple as a marquee.

Originally, he knew his true strength, and Roger refused to wear such eye-catching clothes.

Even on Earth, he went out in black, white and gray, and he couldn't accept the cool outfits of trendy men.

But Angelina was happy that her brother had made great contributions on the front line and broke through the strength problem that had been criticized. She forced him to lie on the bed and put on the magician's costume she had prepared long ago.

And she tidied him up from head to toe one by one, and then let him go out.

The Queen of Eternal Night dresses up the Right Prime Minister, the Right Prime Minister dresses up his brother, and the brother's voice dresses up the Queen...

Fate, wonderful.

For the first time in his life, Roger dressed like a light bulb, and he felt quite uncomfortable all day.

Until he came to Xinghan Palace and saw the exaggerated special effects on those magicians, the fireballs exploding and the dragons roaring behind him, this is what his sister made for him...

It's absolutely right to say that it's low-key, luxurious and meaningful.

At least, the rate of returning heads of noble ladies here is firmly No. 1 among their peers, and they are all stunning, not shocked!

So when the Queen of Eternal Night looked over, Roger had already walked out of the state of being uncomfortable with the magician's dress.

He dealt with the nobles at the meeting quite comfortably, enjoying the burning eyes that fell on him from time to time, eating and drinking.

Just waiting for the ball to start, dancing with little Joey, breaking the curse of the queen and saving his feet, and completing the task tonight!

"Hey, there are no eye-catching jewelry when we fight the Orcs this time. It's really not as good as fighting the Elf Empire!"

The Queen of Eternal Night fiddled with the jewelry, and was hesitant about how to choose. Seeing Roger's outfit tonight, she suddenly had a direction.

...

...

More than one eye was focused on Roger.

Including another focus tonight, Cornelia Carniton, who attracted the attention of young nobles as soon as she entered the venue.

Her long purple hair was tied into two spikes on the top of her head, and then tied into two ponytails all the way to her waist. She wore puff sleeves, a princess dress, black stockings, and high heels. Although she was petite, her body proportions were very good.

This eldest lady who lives in the Duchy of South Canton on weekdays does not have the "nativeness" common among local aristocrats. Instead, she has exquisite makeup, fashionable hairstyle, and almost perfect matching of clothing and jewelry.

Even small actions such as drinking, talking, and bowing the head are all charming and devilishly charming.

As a princess, Cornelia is quite confident and proud. She is full of youthfulness at the age of sixteen and is a little wild and bold, which makes many people have the urge to tame this little wild horse.

It's just that her eyes, like most of the aristocratic ladies tonight, always followed Roger Charles, which made many people feel sad.

Who made that good-for-nothing brother, Khenpo Sak, become famous in one battle in the desert? Even the "Long Live the Queen" newspaper praised him. He was naturally a man of the hour at such a dance.

But there are always people who believe that opportunities must be created by oneself.

Earl Buck Lindsay, his father died in the empire's war against the Veronica dynasty. After that, he inherited the title and joined the military to gain experience.

He is twenty years old this year and is already a colonel, one step closer to becoming a magister.

In addition, there is news that he has a close relationship with some underground industries in Aodu. He often has exclusive information and takes the first step to make the family business prosperous.

I am just busy with my career and cultivation, and have not solved any major life-long issues so far.

In Aodu, Earl Lindsay can be regarded as a diamond king. The nobles who want to marry have crossed the threshold, but he has not agreed to any of them.

He is waiting for a wife who makes his heart move and whose family and status can help him.

Cornelia caught his eye as soon as she appeared tonight.

After asking about the girl's identity, Earl Lindsay began to hesitate.

The Duke of South Carneton has a bad reputation, but after all, he is also a duke and an important military minister.

Climbing into his house and using it properly will be very beneficial to your future development...

And Cornelia is indeed in good health!

After drinking all the crystal wine in the goblet, Earl Lindsay combed his hair, walked confidently to Cornelia, and bowed gracefully:

"Beautiful lady, can I ask you to dance after the show starts?"

Cornelia's starry eyes flashed, and she replied with a little shyness: "Okay...but can I ask you something first?"

"A gentleman will never refuse a lady's request."

"Then please, Lord Earl, help me give this glass of wine to Master Charles!"

She pushed the cocktail she had just mixed towards Earl Lindsay.

"?"

Earl Lindsay cracked.

At the Empire Ball, if a woman is too embarrassed to directly invite a man to dance, she can give him a drink as a hint, and the other party will express his agreement after drinking it.

So this wave is probably equivalent to confessing to the girl you like, and then she asks you to hand over a love letter to the recognized school idol.

Earl Lindsay wants to throw a glass and leave.

"I'm sorry, Lord Earl, I was presumptuous."

But Nelia lowered her head next, pointed at her fingers, and whispered pitifully, "So many outstanding girls are looking at Master Charles tonight. I know that I am overestimating my abilities and will definitely be rejected, but I still want to try it……"

Earl Lindsay suddenly became restless and raised the glass of wine: "I have a way to make him drink it."

But Nelia raised her head in surprise, covered her mouth, and refused: "This is too presumptuous, I really don't need to trouble you!"

"This is a gentleman's promise."

Lindsay turned firmly toward Roger.

If a test magic was slapped on Cornelia's face, she would definitely hear:

The power of tea, ninth level!

…

…

At the other end of the venue.

Little Joy met several classmates from the Imperial Academy of Magic. Roger let her go to reminisce about old times, and he continued to eat and drink as the young master of the Charles family and the Marquis of Lacapas, waiting for the dance to start.

He didn't like this luxurious and relaxing atmosphere, but he couldn't say he hated it.

That's it, don't behave badly and embarrass your sister.

He found excuses to refuse the noble girls who asked him to dance or give them drinks: "Although I really want to drink, I was hit by an arrow in the liver during the battle, and I still need time to recover."

Although it is a poor excuse, it is still gentler than a clear rejection, and the girl regrets that she can only accept it.

At this time Earl Lindsay stepped forward.

He held a glass of champagne in his right hand and a cocktail in his left hand and handed it to Roger with a graceful manner: "It's an honor to meet you, Master Roger."

Roger smiled and nodded, and said skillfully: "Although I really want to..."

"Let's not play this trick anymore. Even if you were shot in the liver, the Charles family's financial resources can cure you."

Earl Lindsay lowered his voice and said, "I know a piece of top-secret news that is not beneficial to the right minister, and I can only tell it to my friends."

He held the cocktail that was the color of the sky, as if there were layers of clouds, and handed it to Roger again.

Roger blinked, as if this guy was saying, only friends are friends after drinking?

He knew that this person was an intelligence dealer who wandered in the gray area in the game plot. On the surface, he was greedy for money and lust, but he was considered a die-hard loyalist of the empire.

Moreover, this venue also has a magic circle for detecting harmful substances. Even if you play the trick of "non-toxic substances combine to become highly poisonous", it is impossible to harm the imperial nobles.

What's more, I still have the heart of the ocean. Drinking a glass of wine won't kill me, right?

"Even if my liver explodes, I still have to try a glass of my friend's wine!"

Roger took the glass, took a sip, and looked at Earl Lindsay.

Earl Lindsay whispered: "Some people don't want to see the state-owned farms promoted by the right prime minister, and hope that she can take some time off..."

While clinking glasses, he handed a note to Roger.

This was originally a message that he wanted to pass on to Nightingale, but it could be used to fulfill a wish for Cornelia.

I just hope that this young master is smart enough and doesn't cause trouble.

…

…

On the other side, Cornelia seemed to be chatting with her girlfriends, but her eyes were always looking in Roger's direction.

Seeing Earl Lindsay come forward to talk for a few words, he really raised his glass and couldn't help but smile faintly.

She played with a small ruby ​​on her clothes, watching its color change to orange and stop when it was close to yellow.

"This is a junior magician, who is about to break through the intermediate level... So Master Charles was born with a strong mental power, which hurt his father, but his body magic power is very low?"

Cornelia showed a hint of realization.

Poisoning is not allowed at the ball, but it is easy to cast some hidden magic testing methods that will not hurt the body.

For example, the magic phenol syrup mixture she chose this time is a colorless and tasteless potion that can show the target's magic level after taking it.

This is not a means of combat, but a way to confirm the strength of apprentices. It takes a long time to take effect, is troublesome to take, and is expensive. The advantage is that it is accurate enough.

She wrote down this information and recalled the long and tedious task list she got.

There are several choice branches after this step...

[If the target is less than the legendary strength, this message will be made public and the authenticity will be confirmed through the reactions of the nobles]

"Isn't this too cautious? That's the highest precision magic phenol syrup worth 500 gold coins! Do you need to confirm it again?"

Cornelia frowned, thinking that the person who wrote this task might be seriously ill!

But there was no way. Last night, she was eager to get the "privately customized" magic makeup set, and she didn't read the agreement and accidentally signed a very dangerous soul contract.

If she didn't meet the other party's requirements, her soul would be taken away and burned in the flames for a thousand years!

This was too scary, and since the task was not difficult and it didn't seem to hurt anyone directly, she was going to try to complete it first.

It took a lot of thought to get Roger to drink the wine, but to spread the news next, she just had to pretend that it was leaked accidentally.

And, don't let people suspect you.

...

...

Toilet.

A blond young man rushed into the cubicle, but he didn't complete the task of emptying his intestines for a long time. He was so bored that his face turned red.

Suddenly he saw some fragments in the trash can that didn't look like toilet paper.

He subconsciously used a trick "reduction".

"Magic test... Tester, Roger Charles, the result is a junior magician, the time is... today? There is no detection agency?"

The blond young man frowned. Isn't this guy a super strong man who suppressed the orc coalition alone?

How come this test showed that he was a junior magician and then destroyed it?

Is someone playing a prank?

Or is it information to be concealed?

Not long after, the blond young man returned to the venue refreshed.

He saw his sister and winked and said, "Penny, I just heard something. Don't tell anyone!"

...

...

Ten minutes later, more than fifty nobles knew that Roger Charles was just a junior magician.

Although there was no evidence, quite a lot of people were willing to believe it!

This fits the image of a useless brother!

"So, he lied about his strength and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. His Majesty must punish him!"

A group of nobles decided to ask for mercy. When His Majesty comes, they will ask for mercy. The liar must pay the price!

Some people are unhappy that Roger is too handsome today, some are unhappy that Charles' family is favored, some are affected by the changes in the empire, some think that Roger has tarnished the purity of the military, and some simply don't like lies...

Of course, there are also wise men who think that the Queen of Eternal Night is not completely ignorant of Roger's true strength.

But they still secretly promote the emotions of the petitioning faction.

Because the nobles were alienated from the Queen of Eternal Night, and Roger was a close minister of the Queen of Eternal Night, someone was preparing to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, so that the Queen of Eternal Night would not go too far, otherwise the scene would be very ugly!

Finally, the clock struck eight in the evening, and the Royal Orchestra began to play.

Fireworks rose to the sky and lit up, forming complex and gorgeous patterns.

The Queen of Eternal Night, wearing a black and gold cheongsam, teleported to the center of the venue, but she was more beautiful than the fireworks in the sky, and more intoxicating than the deep night sky!
