Chapter 884: The

In short, after seeing the bride and groom, this banquet officially began for Xia De and Dorothy.

Dorothy separated from Xia De for the time being to meet her friends in the literary world. Retsia should be with Princess Margaret now, she has to entertain this guest from the South.

So, Xia De planned to see the great witches first. Witches have always hated lively occasions because there are too many men in the banquet, but they must attend this banquet. Only in this way can the two reasonably know each other, and then gradually deepen the relationship.

The Eisenberg family prepared a separate lounge for the distinguished guests attending the banquet, especially for the distinguished guests of his wife's family, in a corridor on the third floor of the Lake View Manor mansion. When Xia De stepped onto the third floor, the memory of the summer night flooded his heart again. He stopped on the last step of the stairs, looking at the banquet hall door opposite the stairs.

A few months ago, Dorothy broke through the door and flew out, and then the scene where the doctor desperately used the language of sublimation to severely damage "Lady Lasoya" seemed to be right in front of his eyes:

"Really nostalgic..."

When he came here for the last time, the corridor was still full of blood mist, and the exploded door destroyed the corridor, but in this early winter night, it had long since returned to peace.

The door of the banquet hall was open, and inside were long tables full of food. Various gold and silver utensils showed the financial resources of the Eisenberg family under the gas lamps. Guests who had not eaten could take food here, but there were not many people inside at this time. After all, for the sake of this grand wedding, there were food tables placed everywhere in the mansion and the manor, and there were even tents specifically for roasting lamb in the backyard...

"Meow~"

Seeing that Xia De had no intention of entering the banquet hall, but turned to the side, Mia suddenly meowed, and its little claws stretched out and patted his arm. This cat has always shown different wisdom in the matter of eating.

"I'll get you something to eat in a while."

Xia De patted the cat's little head, so it stopped meowing.

"Are you getting smarter?"

The lounge prepared by the Eisenberg family for important guests is on the left side of the third-floor corridor. Of course, it is not something that can be entered at will, but when Xia De came to the stairs, the guards responsible for guarding only glanced at him, and respectfully called out the name "Hamilton of Lei Jiede", and then enthusiastically led him to the door of the room where Duchess Galina was.

The pendant on his chest was burning hot, and the two witches were indeed inside. When Xia De entered the room, they were drinking wine and chatting while standing by the window looking at the lively courtyard outside. In the night, the backs of the two witches just wearing evening dresses firmly attracted Xia De's attention. Just now Dorothy said that the most beautiful girl at this party was the bride, but Xia De knew very well that the most beautiful girls should be these two ladies.

"Cough cough."

Seeing Xia De looking at the ladies by the window in a daze, Little Princess Ajelina coughed, telling Xia De that she was also here.

"Good evening, Miss Galina, good evening, Princess Ajelina, good evening, Miss Sylvia."

He greeted them in order of status. The sixteen-year-old princess was happy, and wanted to put down the documents in her hand, but seeing Duchess Galina turn from the window, she bit her lip and continued to read the paper pages in her hand obediently.

"Good evening, Xia De."

Because Miss Sylvia is "not familiar" with Xia De now, the only one who greeted Xia De was Duchess Galina. The witch holding the red wine glass turned around. The color of the red wine, which was like the purest ruby, made her look even more moving:

"Would you like to taste this red wine? This is a private gift from Princess Margaret to me, and the taste is very good."

The Duchess said with a smile. She naturally tasted the origin of these red wines. After all, the raw material for brewing was the flawed grapes that could not be eaten in her manor.

"Thank you, but I don't want to drink now. Oh, what is Princess Ajelina looking at?"

Xia De asked curiously, and Duchess Galina glanced at Tifa. The black-haired maid lady explained softly:

"Yesterday, at the banquet where His Majesty entertained Princess Margaret Anjou, Princess Margaret recommended her mathematics teacher to His Majesty, which is this scholar Miss Emma Sylvia who is very famous in the United Kingdom of Karsenrik, hoping that Miss Sylvia could get permission to enter and exit the libraries of several schools in the Tobesk university district."

The young scholar Miss Sylvia stood by the window, her left hand across her chest, and her right hand raised her glass to him:

"Thank you for the generosity of His Majesty Larus III."

"While waiting for the banquet to start just now, Miss met Princess Ajelina, so she let Miss Sylvia ask some questions to test the princess's mathematical level."

The little princess quietly revealed a distressed look to Xia De from behind those paper pages. Obviously, she had been sitting here for more than an hour. Now the banquet had started, but she still couldn't get permission to leave, and her mood at this time was completely written on her face.

Duchess Galina laughed:

"Since obtaining the title, I have rarely asked about the education of family members. Now it seems that the mathematical level of the royal family has indeed regressed a lot over the years."

Ajelina, who was secretly looking at Xia De, almost wrote "Save me" on her face.

"Can I see these questions?"

Xia De asked, and then took the handwritten scratch paper:

"Oh, these are indeed very professional questions. But I think, the princess should be allowed to go back and think about it slowly. After all, this is a wedding banquet, it is still too noisy, not conducive to concentrating."

The sixteen-year-old princess nodded immediately, and then looked at her aunt with anticipation. Duchess Galina's smile remained unchanged:

"Well, Ajelina, remember to send the answers to my manor before tomorrow evening."

"Yes, no problem!"

The little princess said loudly, and then realized that her behavior was not very ladylike. She blushed and tidied up the paper pages on the table, and was about to leave with her maid, but stopped again and asked Xia De:

"Knight, twenty minutes later, the Lake View Manor horse riding competition is about to start, are you interested in participating? I heard from my mother that your performance at the racecourse last time was pretty good."

Xia De naturally agreed. Just now Dorothy said that Retsia asked her to tell Xia De to agree to Ajelina's invitation:

"Of course I will participate, it will be very interesting."

"Then I will go prepare a horse for you now, see you later, I'm going to change clothes!"

Saying this, she left the room happily.

"Change clothes?"

Xia De looked at Duchess Galina in surprise. The latter put her wine glass on the windowsill, and the red nail polish on her fingers reflected a somewhat demonic color under the gas lamp:

"Since it is a game at the wedding, of course it is a double horse riding competition. If you want to participate, you must have a female partner. I think Ajelina defaults to you choosing her as a female partner."

Miss Sylvia on the side also laughed:

"I heard from Duchess Galina that you have an affair with her grandniece, is it this one? But looking at her appearance, clearly..."

"No no no, of course not her, Princess Ajelina is only sixteen!"

Xia De was frightened and hurriedly defended, although the adult age of this world is sixteen, the outsider has the outsider's rules:

"Ladies, don't make fun of me anymore. The banquet today is very lively, don't you plan to go down and turn around?"

He also walked to the window and looked at the courtyard illuminated by the lights with the two witches. There were more and more guests at this time, and laughter and noise came from time to time in the tents. It's a pity that the sun had not completely set, otherwise the courtyard illuminated by the lights at night would look even more gorgeous.

When Xia De and Dorothy walked in just now, the walkway in the center of the courtyard was still a bit empty, but at this time there was an extra long table, and besides various delicacies on the table, there was also a cream cake that was five stories high.

Xia De immediately felt that Mia, who was held by him, was restless again.

"You know, we have always disliked this kind of lively occasion."

Duchess Galina said, and then glanced at Miss Sylvia:

"Xia De, don't you have something to say?"

"Oh, yes."

Xia De took out the thesis draft he wrote:

"Miss Sylvia, if you have time, please help me look at this in the last two days."

"Thesis?"

The young great witch was a bit surprised, but still nodded:

"No problem, but if you want me to help you proofread the details, you'd better take the final draft to me... Imaginary numbers? You actually have research on this? Very interesting, you should really consider my proposal last time."

This refers to becoming her apprentice, but she dared not say it in front of Duchess Galina.

Miss Sylvia learned Duchess Galina's appearance, put the wine glass on the windowsill, and flipped through the manuscript casually, completely attracted by the content.

"Xia De, Sylvia and I will probably stay here all the time. If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved in the banquet, you can come here to find me."

"What trouble will there be in the banquet?"

Xia De asked curiously, and then thought about it:

"Could it be that the Military Intelligence Service and the Gray Gloves have any plans?"

"Why would you think so?"

Duchess Galina asked curiously. Xia De nodded. He indeed did not receive any orders from both sides targeting this banquet:

"Could it be that a thief appeared here?"

Theft cases in the city have been frequent in the past few weeks, even to an abnormal frequency.

"Oh, I do suspect that some kind of humanoid relic related to theft has appeared in the city, but Lake View Manor has nothing to do with that matter."

The witch said again, no longer giving Xia De a chance to guess, narrowed her eyes and looked at the courtyard outside the window, and said softly:

"Lake View Manor and the Schluch Lake between the Lemaire racecourse have some small problems."

"What small problem?"

"Simply put, it seems that some big guy is about to appear from the center of the lake."
