"Beias is a Chosen One, Danister, you can't just care about his studies as a teacher."

"Yes, then how about I let him not attend the wedding with the girls later, and let him stay with me tonight to read books? We can sit on the sofa together and snuggle and talk about the stories in the books, or we can hold hands and go to the forest to practice miracles under the moon."

Danister Gustav said this on purpose, and then sure enough saw her friend show an angry expression.

The family that held a grand wedding during the Moon Dance Festival that even Prince William was interested in was the Collins family, the great noble family in the true sense of Vesta City.

The banquet that Xia De and Miss Winslet attended before the Moon Dance Festival last week was held by Count Collins, and the Collins family is also the most powerful family in the area since the Creekwood Town era.

Elder Og of the hermits in 1802 said that the sheriff, the mayor, the president of the Lumberjack Association, and the bishop of the local church are the four pillars of the town, and the Collins family has served as the mayor of the town for many years. Even in modern times, even if the family gradually disappeared from the front stage, the current mayor of Vesta City is still a relative of the Collins family.

As for this wedding, it is the second son of the Collins family. And the person who married the young Mr. Collins is not a local girl, but the youngest daughter of Count Gausser, a friend of Count Collins in Wilandale.

Therefore, in addition to local nobles, many relatives of the bride from Wilandale also attended this wedding. According to Miss Winslet, the Count Gausser family and the royal family have distant relatives:

"Count Gausser is one of the few powerful counts now, and even has a fief. He is a big man in Wilandale."

The Collins family's wedding was not held in the city, but in the old house of the Collins family in the north of the city. Similar to the Bennett family, that is also the house passed down by the Collins family since the Creekwood Town era. It is said that every boy of the Collins family in the past generations was married there, so the old house of the family is well maintained.

Xia De, Yiluna, Miss Winslet, and Miss Bell set off from the hotel at 5:30 in the evening, and by the time they arrived at the Collins Manor in the north of the city, the sky had completely darkened.

The Collins Manor is not in the city area, but on the edge of the city, but it is connected to the city area by roads, and there are family farms, forest farms, a small cemetery, and nearby villages nearby, so it is not remote.

When Xia De saw the manor from the window from afar, the lights had already lit up the cold Collins old house on weekdays. Even if they hadn't arrived yet, Xia De could feel the liveliness of the scene.

"This is probably the last large-scale outdoor banquet held in the area before next spring."

The witch in the carriage sighed, and Yiluna asked Xia De:

"Do you still remember the last autumn banquet we attended in Tobesk last autumn?"

Xia De nodded with a smile:

"Of course I remember, Princess Mona Cavendish and Mr. Randolph Asberg held a wedding at the Lake View Manor. At that time, Margaret, I mean Margaret of the Southern Kingdom, happened to visit Tobesk and also attended the wedding. I remember it was very, very lively at that time."

At that time, not only them, Xia De also met the Chosen One of "Knowledge and Wisdom", Sir Prisha, and met Miss Pavo, the vice president of the "Truth Society", again in the Rod card game at the wedding.

Of course, that lady who believes in "mathematics is omnipotent" is now the president of the Truth Society.

"If you expect the banquet later to be at that level, you will probably be very disappointed. Compared with Tobesk, this place can only be considered the countryside."

The witch said on the side, still thinking that when Margaret visited Tobesk last year, Miss Sylvia was also following, and then thought of how Galina made Xia De avoid the young space great witch at that time.

"It doesn't matter, I have also attended country weddings."

This refers to the wedding attended to find the demon Stone Osenfort during the Randall Valley incident, but there were not many interesting memories at that wedding.

Although Vesta City cannot be compared with Tobesk City, the two young men and women who married this time are from count families, so saying "country wedding" is actually a bit discriminatory.

The red carpet was laid from the front of the manor mansion to the entrance of the manor, and the butler and servants responsible for welcoming guests at the entrance stood in two rows.

In the courtyard of the manor, white wooden tables were arranged in rows along the central axis of the manor, and the rich food and gold and silver utensils on the tables were illuminated by the candlesticks on the table and the various styles of gas lamps everywhere in the courtyard landscape.

Even every tree and every flower bush in the courtyard were decorated with ribbons, and the fountain of the knight riding a horse and holding a sword in the center of the courtyard was covered with garlands and ribbons.

It was a bit late when the four of them arrived, and most of the guests who came to attend this wedding had already arrived. And Miss Winslet, who was still a fairly important guest, temporarily separated from Xia De and Yiluna after entering the manor. She needed to take Miss Bell to say hello to the Count and the newlyweds today first.

"I have wanted to say all day today, the air in this city is really good."

Holding Xia De's arm, Yiluna, wearing an indigo formal long dress, said to Xia De standing by the long table in the courtyard. The two also gave gifts when they entered the door just now, but that was prepared by Miss Winslet, and they didn't know what the gift was.

"This is a city in the forest after all, and Vesta City doesn't have too many steam factories."

Xia De took a paper cup cake from the table and handed it to Yiluna. This is a new type of dessert that only started to become popular in the Southern Kingdom in the last ten years. Xia De just noticed that Yiluna had been looking at this side curiously.

"In fact, it doesn't matter if there are more steam factories. I don't hate the taste of Tobesk. Although it is choking, it is also a symbol of the development of that city."

Yiluna stood beside Xia De, watching how he tore open the paper cup cake, and then did the same:

"And the advantage of big cities is that the church's manpower is quite sufficient. Although it is easier to have problems because of the dense population, there are thirteen rings guarding all year round, so there is no need to worry about really breaking out big trouble that cannot be handled... Is that William Anjou over there?"

She also saw the Southern Kingdom prince twice when she was in Randall Valley, so she recognized him. Xia De looked up and sure enough saw William Anjou talking to an old gentleman he hadn't seen before under the shed where desserts were placed on the right side of the mansion.

The prince specially changed into a low-key red formal dress today, and because not everyone had seen him, he didn't have to worry about being seen standing in a remote position.

"Yes... see the officer walking towards him? The one in uniform, that is York Bront."

"Understood~"

Yiluna used the eyeshadow effect of the witch to temporarily restore her left eye to brown while sticking to Xia De and eating the cake in small bites. She was not casting the time stop ability, but trying to observe.

Xia De didn't urge her, and after they both finished their small cakes, Xia De brought two glasses of champagne, and Yiluna said:

"I saw some very cruel pictures, he seems to have eaten a deer in the forest nearby not long ago. If this is the Death Apostle you said this afternoon, this kind of thing is indeed very cruel."

"Can you really see the past?"

Xia De was very pleasantly surprised, but Yiluna shook her head:

"I haven't found the pattern of this ability yet, but it seems to have a better effect on people defined as 'unbalanced'. And I didn't just see what he did just now, I also saw..."

She frowned slightly as if she had encountered some difficulty:

"There is no trace of death on this person at all, this is definitely not normal. Even if it is you and me, because we live in this world, there will be more or less traces of death on us, but he doesn't. Especially since he just ended a life, it is impossible to have no residual breath of death."

"Wait a moment."

Xia De took out an acorn from his pocket and ate it, and then launched the induction again:

"That's right, he still doesn't belong to this time point. Combining the current information, York Bront is likely to have permanently avoided death by traveling through time."

"This kind of person shouldn't exist in this world, his existence itself is breaking the balance of the world."

The eighteen-year-old girl took the wine glass handed by Xia De and touched it gently with him, then moved her gaze away from York Bront in the distance, and instead looked at Xia De:

"Xia De, it just so happens that I took a day off to come here, why don't we go kill him now."

Xia De tried his best to hold back his laughter, seeing Yiluna's expression at this moment was really too interesting:

"Definitely can't let him go, his life form is wrong. But not now, first of all, we haven't figured out what happened to him, and secondly, Death Apostles can't be killed casually, I am waiting for a deadly weapon."

"Alright then."

Yiluna shook the wine glass in her hand gently:

"Then what should we do now? Just stand here and wait for Miss Winslet and the others to come back?"

"We will walk around nearby and observe if York Bront has any wrong actions. I am very curious about what the form of his time curse will be."

Both of their faces had undergone certain disguises. Although they still looked like Northerners, they didn't attract much attention. And although Xia De said he would observe York Bront, he actually just let him not leave the two's field of vision.

Next, in addition to watching the scenery in the manor at night, the two also sat down and listened to the serenade played by the band on the side of the manor mansion. And York Bront had been standing beside William Anjou, talking with the prince and several local nobles who looked very old.
