Anne suddenly grabbed Li Aili's wrist and dragged her to the dressing table. "Makeup! You have to do it! Put on your prettiest makeup, and then go seduce those younger, more passionate knights!"
"He's looking for you too!!"
Li Aili: "..." Sister, now that you say it, the scope has really broadened.
Joanna said weakly, "But none of the knights in the Order are as handsome as the Duke..."
Li Aili and Annie said in unison, "Shut up."
So, 2 hours later.
The splendidly dressed Duke waited for the radiant Li Aili in the first-floor hall.
He was almost stunned by the beauty.
Arthur Cold Jade stepped forward and extended his hand to his wife, who was lifting her skirt as she stepped down from the 'altar'.
However, the woman ignored it.
Li Aili lifted her skirt and brushed past the Duke's outstretched hand.
The Duke helplessly caught up with Li Aili, "Darling, did I do something to upset you today?"
Li Aili said casually, "No, you're fine."
Arthur Cold Jade humbly asked, "So what is this...?"
"I just feel that I should prepare myself for my future divorce."
The Duke's expression darkened for a moment, but he quickly recovered and asked casually, "For example?"
The two walked side by side into the castle's largest banquet hall.
The banquet hall can accommodate thousands of people, and the ten long banquet tables lined up side by side can seat two hundred people from beginning to end, just like the long tables in a famous magical novel.
The main seating area is a long, horizontal banquet table, with the head seat placed in the center.
After they were seated, Li Aili lowered her voice and whispered in the Duke's ear, "For example, we should start looking for a future husband."
Arthur Cold Jade: "..."
He gentlemanly pushed out a chair for Li Aili, his expression somewhat obscure under the magic crystal chandelier.
"Then we must take a good look," he said cryptically.
Li Aili felt a little uncomfortable from his hot breath and subconsciously moved away.
Then, something interesting happened at the banquet.
Whichever knight Li Aili looked at, that person would immediately turn pale, break out in a cold sweat, and tremble like a leaf.
At first, she didn't pay attention.
But after several such incidents, even she, who was slow to realize, discovered that someone was up to no good.
"Was it you?" Li Aili looked expressionlessly at the man beside her who was swirling a wine glass with one hand.
The man smiled gently. "What?"
Li Aili: "..."
"Darling, have you found someone you like?" the man asked, leaning closer and enunciating clearly.
Li Aili: "..."
She found nothing! Everyone she saw wet their pants; she felt embarrassed for those knights!
Under the banquet table, Li Aili stomped hard on the Duke's foot.
The man's expression remained unchanged.
"That's enough, give it to me." Li Aili smiled, letting out a soft whisper.
Just as the Duke was about to reply, the wooden door to the banquet hall was kicked open.
The once noisy banquet hall fell silent instantly, and everyone turned to look at the entrance.
A female centaur raised aloft a silver longsword. "Who is Ellie Cold Jade? Step forward! The most skilled assassin of the Assassin's Guild is here to take your life!"
Li Aili: "..."
Arthur Cold Jade: "..."
Two knightly orders, more than 1,600 knights: "..."
The centaur girl who saw the situation clearly: "..."
The scene was deathly quiet.
The man calmly sheathed his longsword. "If I said I went the wrong way, would you believe me?"
The duke's face darkened. "Seize her."
Hundreds of burly men nearby rushed forward in unison...
The scene was so brutal that Li Aili couldn't bear to watch it.
The celebration banquet ended hastily.
Li Aili returned to her room, changed her clothes, removed her makeup, and hurriedly went to the Duke's study, lifting her skirt.
Because the assassin was very cooperative, the Duke simply interrogated him in his study.
A high-ranking knight demanded in a gruff voice, "Speak! Where is the most powerful knight?!"
When Li Aili walked in, she heard the centaur girl say in a pitiful voice:
"Waaaaah, I am the 'most powerful assassin'."
The Grand Knight was furious. "I bet you won't behave until you're in the dungeon!"
"No, no, no! The person who wants to assassinate Li Ellie Cold Jade specifically requested the 'most skilled assassin'."
A high-ranking knight asked in a cold voice, "Where exactly is the most powerful assassin?"
Li Aili, who pushed open the door and entered, was speechless.
The centaur girl was about to cry, "I am the 'most powerful assassin'!"
Arthur Cold Jade drew his sword with a cold expression.
Li Aili finally couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible that she really is the 'most powerful assassin'?"
The knights exclaimed in unison, "Impossible!"
"What I mean is, everyone in this line of work has a nickname, right? Her nickname can't possibly be 'the most skilled assassin'."
The centaur almost jumped up and hugged her leg in excitement, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant!"
Arthur Cold Jade: "..."
The knights: "…………"
Li Aili analyzed, "The person who wants to kill me said, 'Find the best assassin here.'"
"Coincidentally, her name is 'The Most Powerful Assassin'."
Miss Centaur nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, that's it! Our manager said the other party specifically requested my order!"
