So after Miss Jia Jia Lin Na finished her speech, Xia De, amidst the applause, excused himself to the restroom and temporarily left the banquet hall. Megan originally wanted to wait for Xia De to return, then take him to meet the duchess and introduce each other in the banquet hall; even a witch wouldn't make a move. But just as Xia De left the room, Tifa walked over with a smile at this time:

"Miss Green, Duke Jia Jia Lin Na invites you to talk over there. Do you have time?"

This was the Duke's invitation, and Megan naturally had no way to refuse, so she had to follow this witch apprentice with the best figure she had ever seen in the council and leave the place where the merchants gathered.

Miss Jia Jia Lin Na did not return to the lounge, but sat down in the sofa rest area in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the banquet hall. The circle around her was full of women, including Angelina and other noble ladies and noble misses.

"Look who's here."

She took the initiative to welcome Megan and enthusiastically let Megan sit beside Angelina:

"The last time I saw Miss Green of Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals was four years ago at the Tobeisk Opera House. Although I have been thinking of you, I never had a chance to meet again. The development of Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals in Delarion over the years has been very good. Perhaps we can contact more in the future. The kingdom needs merchants like you; a prosperous economy cannot rely solely on its own people."

After the scandal with "Hamilton of Lei Jiede" spread, Miss Jia Jia Lin Na had always been suspected of having a certain tendency, so saying such overly enthusiastic words was not abrupt.

Megan also responded according to etiquette:

"It is my honor that the Duke can always remember me. Please allow me to express my gratitude for tonight's invitation. This banquet is really not bad."

"There are very important guests at this banquet, and I cannot leave for too long. Besides, I want to introduce an important person to you in a while."

Saying that, she stood up, and Jia Lin hesitated, not knowing what he should do at this time. She didn't know who Angelina Cavendish was meeting, but she subconsciously felt that it was her partner.

Miss Meganna said very seriously, and her statement was consistent with the views of the believers of the Love God:

Miss Meganna muttered to herself, then called Tifa, who was waiting on the side, and asked her to go and ask about the situation.

"Thank you. I hope you can praise me more in front of me in a while. You will also be shocked by my appearance. Oh, what were you going to say just now?"

Jia Lin, who was originally thinking about her own affairs, raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect to hear such major news:

"Because the connection between mind and body forms the sweetest part of love."

The red-haired witch sat on the sofa very relaxed, the corners of her mouth curled up, and the smile in her golden eyes could only be understood by Tifa and Angelina:

After passing the corner of the corridor, it was the corridor on the east side of the second floor of Rose Manor. This corridor was very short, with rooms on both sides, and only two large windows at the end.

Jia Lin felt that her words had been spoken by someone else:

"Yesterday, following Auntie to the City Hall, I did meet a very polite gentleman in the corridor of the City Hall. Oh, the other party is Delarion, blonde, very tall, well-proportioned, gentle and refined, wearing a white coat, and carrying a cat..."

"What kind of expression is that? I promised I wouldn't. Why, are you worried that I will fall in love with this girl of yours?"

"It's really hard to convince people when someone like you says 'life partner.' After all, it's common for nobles to have multiple lovers... But I still bless you. I can meet this girl in a while. I'm very curious about how good she is... Wish you happiness, Tong Yongna."

The red-haired witch tried hard to hold back her laughter: The ladies all laughed, and Miss Meganna also said with a smile:

"Does my banquet look good?"

Before she formally introduced Xia De to Miss Meganna, she felt it was best not to let the "peculiar man" meet the duchess, and must first let this balanced great witch be prepared. "Didn't you ask for the other party's identity?"

"Enjoy this banquet well. You will like this place even more in a while."

She pointed in a direction, so Miss Meganna called Jia Lin and signaled her to go with her to call Angelina back.

So Tifa took two maids and turned the corner of the corridor, but did not continue to walk forward. The maids counted to ten together and then walked back:

"Are you reading some non-daily books? But you are still the same as before."

And when the group came here, they happened to see the window wide open, and the night wind and moonlight broke into the corridor together. The blue handmade embroidered curtains fluttered up and down in the night wind, and among the curtains, two figures hugging and kissing could be vaguely seen.

The duchess made a surprised expression:

"Ahem."

"Yes, all thanks to you. I'll explain to you later. That is really a very powerful person."

"Fall in love with... If you can really fall in love with the person I bring at that time, I won't object."

Angelina's face was slightly red:

The faces of the two were very close at this time, and the two pairs of golden eyes contained completely different emotions.

Jia Lin's expression was very serious, and the red-haired witch's smile remained unchanged:

"Then have you done that kind of thing with him?" Jia Lin was secretly shocked, knowing that the other party was a traditional witch, but she remained calm, thinking she could handle this matter well:

Miss Meganna flicked the strand of hair she had specially left by her ear, her tone indifferent:

"That's what you said, ahem, I mean, then it's settled. Oh, don't leave after the banquet, let's discuss the Green Lake matter. Your state today is better than the night before last and yesterday. Speaking of which, what exactly did you do? It's as if this balance of yours, swaying left and right, was suddenly flicked by an external force to the most perfect balance position. I don't think it will take long for you to improve again?"

"That's good... Huh? Where did little Angelina go? Why hasn't she come back for so long?"

"Then what are you doing looking for me alone?"

"I didn't bring a partner. Before leaving Tobeisk, my mother also told Meganna Auntie to let her manage me." Jia Lin opened her mouth and blinked:

"Miss, Her Highness Angelina is over there."

Jia Lin naturally hadn't forgotten that the man the little princess described just now was suspected to be her partner, so she followed suspiciously.

Miss Meganna coughed suddenly, so before Jia Lin could see clearly who the obviously male figure was, Angelina pushed the figure, and the figure quickly ran towards the other side of the corridor under the cover of the fluttering curtains.

"Of course not. How could I do that with... I mean, why do you care so much about this kind of question?"

"You really haven't changed at all, but I admit this banquet is not bad."

"I'm serious, I really like her, she's different from everyone you've ever met. I hope that after you meet, no matter what happens, you can listen to me finish speaking before making a decision. Meganna, can you promise me?"

The red-haired witch wearing a gorgeous red dress said with a smile:

"Yes, indeed a girl, a girl who is very, very, very much to my liking. She looks quite good, although her level is not as high as mine, she is also very powerful. Most importantly, her ideas and outlook on life are very consistent with mine, and she supports my career... That aspect is also very powerful. I think this is my life partner."

"Actually, an eleven-year-old princess is not young anymore. If you see any young gentleman at this banquet, you can invite him to dance in a while. I won't tell Diana."

"He didn't say his name, but he said he would also attend today's banquet. I didn't take a fancy to him, I just felt that this gentleman was quite good, and his speech and behavior were different from ordinary people... Why don't I find him now."

"How does that saying go? Oh, the farthest distance in the world is that you are in front of me, but you don't let me touch you."

With an idea in mind, she watched Angelina leave with her maid. She waited patiently for a while, then signaled to Miss Meganna that they should talk alone.

Jia Lin nodded:

The brown-haired girl said very seriously, which made Miss Meganna feel a little guilty, but this hesitation only lasted for a moment:

Jia Lin made an ugly smile:

Jia Lin, who was originally serious, almost coughed:

She took a deep breath, wanting to find the feeling of talking about serious things just now:

"It's just a pity that there are men present. If only beautiful girls came to participate, that would be even better."

Jia Lin was stunned, then picked up her wine glass to cover her expression.

The witch who had already dug a trap brought the topic back to the original direction.

So before Angelina returned, Miss Meganna and Tong Yong came to the corridor outside the lively banquet hall. The corridor illuminated by gas lamps was covered with yellow wallpaper, and the antique oil paintings on the walls and the red carpet on the floor made the place look even more luxurious.

"I also want to let you meet someone, who is also the person I chose. I... he, I mean I, yes, I like him very much, I hope you can be prepared in advance."

"What kind of person? That legendary Hamilton? I thought you let your maid, Miss Servit, disguise herself to brush off your marriage problems. Why, does this Miss Hamilton really exist?"

Miss Meganna asked with concern again, and Angelina nodded gently:

The duchess with gorgeous red long hair nodded gently and made a generous expression:

"Yes, Miss."

She took the initiative to let Tong Yong join their topic, and then chatted quite naturally about their respective partners tonight. Miss Tong Yongna gave Angelina a look, so the little princess said:

Because the great witches of the past often let girls dress up as men to avoid some things they had to face in social life, she didn't suspect it at all.
