On Sunday, July 7th, 777, in the world of Himlear, a rural noble family welcomed their seventh child—a seemingly ordinary girl who, from birth, appeared to have an indissoluble bond with the numb...
That night.
A grand celebration banquet was held at the White Cat Royal Family’s mansion.
Almost all the senior leaders of the White Cat Clan in Helinks were present, and some senior leaders of friendly tribes were also invited.
"Bars, congratulations! Now you and your White Cat Clan can rest easy for a while~!"
Keller, the king of the Black Dog clan, held up a glass of wine and congratulated with a smile.
"Thank you very much, but this is all thanks to Hulim. I dare not take credit for it."
Bars responded with a smile.
"Yeah, that little girl is really hard to believe. It's amazing that you could find someone like her, Bars~."
A fox-eared orc woman with golden hair interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Your Excellency the Fox King, this is all luck, luck!"
"Eh~, luck? I also want such luck. I heard that you, Bars, have already invited that little girl to be a guest of your royal family. You are really quick~!"
“Heh… heh…”
Bars smiled awkwardly.
"Your Excellency the Fox King, you're such a joke. The so-called guest official is just a testimony of our friendship. There are no strings attached."
"Really... Alas, but I also want this 'friendship'."
The Fox King moved closer to Bars and gently slid a finger down his shoulder.
"Hey, Bars, can you give me this chance to make friends~?"
"Well--??!"
Bals suddenly froze in place.
“Puff!”
Seeing Bals looking embarrassed, the Fox King chuckled.
"Hehehe~! I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously~!"
"Is... is that so? You are quite humorous..."
Bals wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and complained inwardly.
You don't seem to be joking...
No... I have to make Hulim watch out!
"Alright~! Enough joking! Although today is a happy day for the White Cat Royal Family, please don't drink too much~. It would be embarrassing if you are late tomorrow morning~!"
"Don't worry, Lady Xiweier, we will certainly not miss the official business!"
Keller assured.
He walked back and forth at the banquet with a glass of wine for nearly an hour, and the wine was less than a third gone.
"Speaking of tomorrow's finals, I'm a little curious too. Who will win the championship? Who do you think is most likely to win?"
"Hmm..." Keller thought for a moment. "That's hard to guess. I think it's probably one of Boguna or Violet."
"Eh~, is that so..."
Xiweier turned to look at Bals again.
"Bars, what about you? Who do you think it could be?"
"Uh... I think anyone could be a possibility."
"Hmph~, what a perfunctory answer~."
“… …”
"As for me, I think Hulim is very likely to win. Otherwise, it's that... that, um... what's his name? Oh, right, Lukes!"
"...Lady Xiweier, you are talking about Luggie Sloane, right?"
"Eh, is that the name? Looks like I remembered it wrong~! Hehe~!"
“… …cough cough!”
Keller and Bars quickly turned their heads away.
"But... Speaking of which! The person Lady Xiweier has her eyes on is completely different from what I guessed. This is the result of professional analysis by many people. Could it be that Lady Xiweier knows something?"
"I don't know anything. These are just random guesses. Don't take them seriously. You'll know the result when you watch the ceremony tomorrow."
"Is...is that so?"
Although Xiweier just said it casually, Keller took it to heart.
The speculation he just mentioned was indeed the result of analysis by a large number of professionals. However, when it comes to vision, most of the time, even if a hundred so-called professionals analyze all night, they are no match for a casual glance by an A-level expert.
The question is, is she just guessing?
"Hulim, aren't you going in?"
Miko came to the balcony and found Hulim enjoying the fresh air.
"It's Miko. Sorry, I'm not used to this kind of situation..."
The Hailar family is now just a poor noble family in the countryside, and they rarely have the opportunity to attend things like noble dinners.
Although it was just a simple dinner, and the procedures were greatly simplified compared to those of the top nobles of the empire, the status of the person hosting the dinner was very high, and the status of the attendees was also very high, so it inevitably far exceeded the standards of the dinners of the lower nobles of the empire.
As it happened, he was the protagonist of this dinner party, so all kinds of distinguished people came over to say hello, introduce themselves, and even secretly tried to recruit him.
This scene is even more tiring than practicing magic continuously for three days and three nights.
"Is that so? Hehe~!" Mi Ke chuckled, "I don't like this kind of scene either!"
Then two plates of snacks were brought out from behind.
"Look what this is~!"
"Have you served the refreshments for the banquet?"
"Yes, let's eat here!"
As he spoke, Mi Ke placed the two plates of snacks on the edge of the balcony, reached out and picked up a piece of snack and put it in his mouth.
