"Alright, Lori, I only asked Cooper to tell you about the St. Lily Hotel because I wanted to see you. You're almost eighteen, aren't you?"
Hua Rong nodded: "In half a month."
George breathed a sigh of relief and took out a bottle of blue, fluorescent medicine from his pocket.
"This is a magical potion developed by the royal family over many years! After taking this potion, you have a high chance of activating your own energy attribute. On your eighteenth birthday, you should go to the palace to touch the energy orb. With this potion, you have a high chance of becoming a magician. As long as you become a magician, whether strong or weak, I can help you obtain the position of earl."
Hua Rong fell silent.
That was George's goal.
The question is whether this purpose is simply to help her, or if there are other reasons.
Hua Rong didn't know.
She didn't think much of it. She took the medicine, smiled at George, and said, "Thank you."
George suddenly leaned closer and said to Hua Rong, "Lori, can you let me see your face?"
Hua Rong stood up and pulled his hat brim down even lower. "We'll be able to see each other in half a month."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
She didn't come to the St. Lia Hotel for food and drink.
As she reached the door, she asked George, "Does your royal family have a prince who was raised in a palace from a young age?"
George asked in surprise, "Are you talking about Gerald?"
Gerald was the second son of the late queen.
However, the late queen had committed some heinous crime, and after the king ordered her to die, he also did not spare her son. Thus, the most noble second prince, Gerald, was imprisoned in the palace.
"Speaking of which, Gerald has been imprisoned for three years."
George felt somewhat lost.
To be honest, the royal palace is the easiest place to forget.
However, after three years apart, if Hua Rong hadn't brought it up, he would have forgotten that he had such a younger brother who was once of noble status and needed him to please him in every way.
"Speaking of which, I prefer Gerald to Gotha..."
Gotha is the son of the current queen.
In short, this third prince is quite capable, but he is really arrogant.
Deposing a count who holds military power is something not everyone can do.
George's voice stopped abruptly because the girl was no longer at the door.
"Honestly, I'm not cute at all anymore, my Lori."
George's smile vanished, and he turned to look downstairs, where he saw Hua Rong's back.
His eyes were deep, with a glint in them, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking...
*
Coincidentally, on the day Hua Rong turned eighteen, it was also King Kate's birthday. A banquet was held at the palace, and it was said that the Pope and the saint would also be there.
Because of what the third prince did to Earl Baker, the king recently wanted to make amends, so he sent someone to deliver a message to Earl Baker.
Before the banquet begins, the Pope will be asked to bring out an energy ball and personally test Lori.
Upon hearing this, Earl Baker's face darkened.
"This king probably wants to see me make a fool of myself!"
The Countess added fuel to the fire from the side: "Yes, who doesn't know that Lori didn't show any energy attributes when she was eight years old? Now that she's eighteen, the probability of her being able to show any attribute power is only twenty percent."
Earl Baker looked at Lori. He had taken Lori to several banquets before, and Lori had always behaved with grace and poise, not at all like a girl who grew up in the countryside. She seemed to know how to behave properly and had received a lot of praise.
However, he now felt somewhat annoyed. What good was being polite?
This world truly belongs to magicians!
He can't have children now, so does he really want this daughter, who has no elemental power, to inherit the Earl's mansion?
Earl Baker hesitated for the first time. To be honest, he had no parents or brothers and was all alone.
However, his wife had brothers and sisters.
Perhaps she could find some of her nephews and nieces to adopt.
Alas, it's too late to say now; he'll soon lose face because of this daughter.
Hua Rong, sitting below, remained completely calm.
Stand up and take your leave when appropriate.
“Count, I told you not to bring her back. I’ll let Lace enter the palace tomorrow. Lace has water-attribute power; although she has no offensive capabilities, she can heal…”
The countess behind him was still fanning the flames.
Hua Rong remained calm, after all, she had no intention of living as an ordinary person.
“George…”
In her view, this matter was most likely related to George.
When she went to the St. Leah Hotel that day, she sent a letter to Barber, inquiring about Cooper's Yongxing.
Barber's reply indicated that Cooper had been out for four hours one day.
These four hours were enough for him to tell George in detail about everything she had done along the way.
So, what did George discover?
*
In short, regardless of what Earl Baker thought, Queen Kate's birthday banquet was held as scheduled.
Hua Rong entered the palace with Earl Baker.
The Countess, however, did not accompany them.
Hua Rong recalled what the Countess had said yesterday; it seemed that Lais would be entering the palace today.
“Count Baker, this must be your daughter, Lori. Wow, she’s really beautiful, her eyes and eyebrows are very similar to Count Baker’s.”
Hua Rong just listened to this guy spouting nonsense.
Earl Shell is indeed very handsome, but Lori's appearance is inherited from her mother.
Her seamstress mother was chosen by Earl Baker because of her captivating face.
