Chapter 763
Sylph's "offering of beauty" this time was meritorious, and she once again received Li Chen's appreciation. Various cultivation guidance and resource rewards increased significantly, and her status in the family became even more solid.
When she occasionally met Seratis, although she maintained basic politeness on the surface, a trace of imperceptible triumph and provocation would always flow in those amethyst-like eyes, as if saying: Little one, fighting with me? You're still too young. I can find my mother to offer up, and I can also design to get other people's beautiful married women; what about you?
Seratis saw all of this in her eyes and gritted her teeth in secret, but was helpless.
She knew that although her mother, Felado, was also favored, she was indeed inferior to Sylph in terms of "making contributions."
However, she didn't lose heart. Her eyes rolled, and she thought of a new idea: 'Sylph can find outsiders, why can't I dig into the internal ones?
That old thing, Patriarch Loserma, secretly took in quite a few beauties and hid them in his private residence, among whom there was no lack of those with outstanding beauty. If I could find a way to offer these to His Majesty, wouldn't that be an even greater contribution?
A more "grand" beauty-offering plan began to brew in her heart.
Seratis was very smart; she understood one principle: one must make His Majesty feel comfortable and enjoy being surrounded by beauties, but one must not bring any trouble to His Majesty, and even more so, one must not set herself on fire.
If she used coercion and inducement to forcibly seize the beauties hidden by the patriarch, not to mention whether Patriarch Loserma would be furious and deal with her, even if she succeeded, this behavior itself might cause Li Chen's disgust, making her look eager for quick success and using low-down means.
Therefore, this matter must be planned carefully, and it needed a perfect opportunity and reason.
She chose a circuitous strategy.
First, she needed to enhance her influence and right to speak within the family.
With the implicit prestige brought by her identity as a "close attendant by His Majesty's side," she took the initiative to ask Patriarch Loserma to take over the organization of the upcoming, unprecedented half-elf joint celebration.
She said to Loserma: "Patriarch, this celebration concerns the face of our clan, and it is even more an excellent opportunity to show the ability and loyalty of our Wind-Whisperer family to His Majesty.
Seratis is untalented, but I serve by His Majesty's side day and night, and I have a slight understanding of His Majesty's preferences and aesthetics. If I coordinate it, I will definitely be able to arrange it more to His Majesty's liking, letting our clan show our faces in front of many guests, and also letting His Majesty see your intentions."
Loserma twisted his beard and pondered for a moment, feeling that these words made sense.
Letting this girl go and toss about, if it's done well, the credit naturally has a share for him, the patriarch; if it's messed up, he can push the responsibility onto her, saying she is young and inexperienced.
This deal was not a loss no matter how you calculated it, so he waved his hand and handed the power of preparing the celebration to Seratis.
After obtaining authorization, Seratis immediately displayed capability and methods far beyond her age.
Relying on the dual identity she obtained from Li Chen and the patriarch, she began to command the family's internal and external manpower and material resources vigorously.
Whether it was an elder with deep qualifications or a deacon with real power, they all had to restrain themselves a bit in front of her and listen carefully to her arrangements.
Her status rose with the mastery of power. In the eyes of outsiders, this dark elf girl was already a real-power figure in the Wind-Whisperer family second only to the patriarch and several core elders.
What's more rare is that Seratis was not just a pretty face; her organizational and coordination ability was indeed outstanding.
From venue layout, program arrangement, guest reception to security patrol, she arranged every item in an orderly manner, with thoughtful consideration of details.
This celebration hosted by the Wind-Whisperer family, "Welcoming the Awakening of His Majesty with Elf King Bloodline," had an influence that far exceeded Silver Glow City, shocking more than ten important cities in the southern part of the Eternal Day Empire!
People who wanted to come to watch the ceremony and see the demeanor of the "ancient great being" were endless. It is said that the number of applications for admission reached a terrifying tens of thousands!
Finally, after strict screening, only two hundred guests with the most noble status, strongest strength, or most special backgrounds obtained admission qualifications.
