The art of treading air will eventually come to an end…
This short period of time was also intentionally arranged by Ron and Tebbisa.
Some things, when done in excess, become less beautiful.
Just right.
In the sky, Tebbisa's dance ended, and at the same time, the magical fireworks in the distance ceased to be displayed.
This is the end of a program.
Just like the magic fireworks experiment, the beautiful seven-colored spectacle in the sky lingered for a long time...
These are no ordinary fireworks after all! All those ancient poems describing the fleeting nature of fireworks are no longer appropriate.
Magic fireworks…
At the end of the program, the original Duchess's maids returned to the stage.
One of the key factors was that Ron would not take the stage, but instead quietly returned to the circle of minor nobles in the capital.
Tabitha waited a while but Ron still didn't come. She was already secretly thinking of ways to make things difficult for him: "Still... not here?"
Ron has at least finished what he was doing, so Tabitha won't press the matter any further.
From a distance below the stage.
"Viscount of the Kingdom, where did you go earlier?"
"You know, Miss Tebbsa's show is absolutely fantastic..."
"Yes! Yes! Where did you go earlier?"
Ron sat down, looking embarrassed. "Well, I was invited by a friend in the capital to watch this program with him..."
With just a casual excuse, most people were still immersed in their previous memories and didn't ask any further questions.
When Ron returned and saw the audience's performance, he felt quite satisfied. He had rehearsed for so long, all for this!
Thankfully, I feel a bit more accomplished, hehe…?*??(ˊwˋ*)??*?
Baron Clay, who happened to be positioned close to Ron, remembered Ron's foreign identity and asked, "Viscount, have you heard of the new magic in Miss Tebbsa's program anywhere else?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Logically speaking, the capital city shouldn't have so many magical geniuses with affinity for all elements! If Miss Tebbsa is going to perform, isn't it her magic? Who could it be?"
"That, I wouldn't know," Ron replied with a smile, then added, "Perhaps a genius the Empire keeps secret!"
"Indeed, my Carlo Empire is renowned throughout the world for its magic..."
“Miss Tebbsa’s show was really good earlier…” Baron Clay’s expression remained the same as during the show.
It wasn't until the very end of the program that they remembered to ask about the magic in the show. Little did they know that Ron and Tabitha's birthday gifts mainly consisted of these magical elements, especially magical fireworks.
On stage.
Queen Kofi addressed the crowd below, "Tabitha, your performance was excellent. What reward would you like?"
Everyone else only gets to give birthday gifts; there's no chance for the Magic Queen to give any additional rewards!
After finishing her performance, Tebbisa had already bowed respectfully. Upon hearing this, she replied, "This is Tebbisa's token of appreciation; I dare not accept the Queen's reward!"
The Magic Queen ultimately stopped asking questions, and simply made arrangements in private to give her a separate reward.
Since the young viscount pope was hiding his true intentions, he wouldn't openly give it to him. He'd still give it to him, to fulfill the pope's desire to remain anonymous, and he wanted to meet this guy afterward! He ordered his subordinates who had seen through the divine magic not to reveal it to anyone…
In reality, there are very few powerful individuals who can discern the true nature of Rita's divine magic.
If the Empress doesn't issue an order, the truly powerful won't bother spreading it around!
Ron was just trying to keep a low profile.
No secrets stay hidden forever. During this time of rehearsals with Tabesa, some rumors may have already started circulating!
The longer it's kept secret, the better...
The sovereign, the Magic Queen, dismissed Tebbsa and the others.
In the following stage, members of the royal family presented birthday gifts.
It is evident that the traces of the magical fireworks in the distance still linger.
While the royals were making their moves, such as when Prince Wolai took out the magic jade necklace... at the same time, the duke's family, where Tebesa lived, proactively sent some props for magic fireworks to the imperial palace.
Ron had agreed beforehand, and hopefully the Carlo Magic Empire can develop a different kind of magical fireworks soon.
If I have the chance to visit in the future, it will surely enhance my enjoyment of the trip!
After the birthday ceremony, there were one or two more birthday banquet activities, but everyone's attention was mostly on looking up at the sky.
They all secretly thought, as if making a bet, that the strange phenomenon in the sky should be over by now, it should be over by now...
One speculation was about the timing, while openly, the respective nobles were also exchanging information.
With nobles gathered together, some large-scale territorial deals may be tentatively settled, especially for the lesser nobles, who usually find it difficult to meet the sons of high-ranking nobles.
The main purpose is to have the younger generation pass on a message.
Of course, there are also minor nobles like Ron who just want to live a carefree life. Leaving aside those who left, the one in front of the Mike family kept drinking and chatting with Ron.
“Look at her, Miss Tebbisa, a genius of my empire, is truly like a divine messenger…”
"Hehe... My Kingdom of Gil, a small kingdom, really doesn't have such a talented woman."
"..."
Surprisingly, a female noblewoman remained. This female baroness named Yvonne Karl had a different focus: "I really want to learn that dance. After today, this dance will surely become popular in the capital."
The male aristocrat of the Mack family was somewhat drunk, and he said, "You, you, Miss Evian, you're not good enough!"
"What do you mean, 'no'? I don't need Miss Tebbsa to dance as beautifully as you, even a tenth of her skill would be fine, wouldn't it?" With that, Miss Ivan stopped talking to the Mack family nobles, seemingly a little annoyed.
Young nobleman!
In a way, Ron is also a member of the young nobles!
While others were discussing the exciting programs, he remained a mere spectator.
Suddenly, I felt a strange sense of unease.
In the distance, isn't that Miss Tebbsa?
How did she end up here?
No way, let's get out of here!
What happened to the rule that sitting in those prestigious seats of the nobility meant losing all freedom?
"Excuse me, everyone."
"What's wrong, Viscount?" Miss Yifang, who hadn't drunk much, asked.
"It's nothing, just a personal matter." After saying that, Ron activated his Flash.
However, Ron was a step too slow in the end, simply because he had not anticipated Tabitha's willfulness. In Ron's mind, she had always been a typical daughter of a high-ranking noble family.
Well-mannered and clever.
Everyone else had arrived, but Tebbisa was the first to ask, "I've never seen this noblewoman from the capital before."
Since arriving in the capital, Ron has intentionally kept a low profile, staying only at the Crown Prince's residence and then at the territory of the Tebbesa family.
Few people know that he never participates in gatherings among nobles!
Ron had only gone halfway when he suddenly heard Tebbisa's feigned inquiry.
Oh, it's just acting, what's wrong with that! ╭(￣▽￣)╯╧═╧
I thought Tabitha was going to ruin Ron's low-key approach!
Sure enough, she still has her clever ideas, no, she still has her whims.
Ron calmed down and stood up, but then turned back and said, "Greetings, Miss Tebbsa. I am not a nobleman from the capital, but from the Kingdom of Gil. I am honored to participate in the grand event of the empire."
"Is that so?" Tabitha chuckled, staring at Ron for a moment with amusement, before finally looking away.
Because the Continental Academy Exchange Competition was held in the Duchy of Ferkang, even the Magic Emperor Carlo knew that Ron's people were not many, but they couldn't withstand the aura of Tebbisa's genius from the capital.
No, to avoid being identified by someone from the Carlo Magic Empire, I still need to slip away.
The elite circles are inherently secluded.
"Miss Tebbsa, I have something to attend to, please excuse me for a moment."
"Fine, you can go now!"
Watching Ron's reaction, Tabitha found it amusing but tried to suppress it. o(*≥▽≤)ツ┏━┓
A type of mental magic was cast: a sound transmission technique.
“Someone from the Imperial Palace has come. You and I will meet the Empress after the birthday banquet.”
So that's what it is! No wonder Tebbisa came to the side of the minor nobles.
Without replying to the telepathic message, Ron left.
The minor nobles who were standing next to Ron were no longer calm.
“Miss Tebesa…this…I…have seen her before…”
"..."
Compared to the Mac family, when Evans saw Tebbisa up close, she immediately became a little fangirl.
Unfortunately, the concept of a celebrity does not yet exist in the world.
Tabitha felt that the young noblewoman in front of her had a strange look in her eyes.
...
This was just a minor incident during the birthday banquet; teasing Ron was enough.
Tabitha returned to her position and waited for the birthday banquet to end.
At the end of the banquet, the royals left first, but the food and drinks remained. The nobles then chatted more freely in private, resembling a super-large aristocratic exchange meeting.
Ron had no interest in interacting with the other nobles of the capital; instead, he secretly communicated with Tebbisa via telepathy.
"Let's go, I'll see the Queen ahead of time."
With that, the birthday banquet can be considered over. After all, the royal family has left, and by now, even the sky only has a few traces of magical fireworks left.
Too far away, as if they hadn't seen it at all; in some people's eyes, the distant sky is just as ordinary as ever.
Tabitha, having a convenient excuse to extricate herself from the troublesome gatherings among the nobles, immediately agreed to Ron's suggestion.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Queen summons you. Tabitha will depart now."
As expected, the Empress's orders are law.
Few of the nobles of his generation tried to persuade him to stay.
"Miss Tabitha, I hope we can dance together afterwards..."
"No, magic is more important."
"..."
They finally managed to escape.
The two met at another palace.
"Fine! You Ron, you never even showed up!" Tabitha complained as soon as they met.
“Isn’t Miss Tebbsa enough?” Ron said with a smile.
"Tell me, why does the Queen want to see me, Ron?" (v?v)
"We'll find out then."
Tabitha had no choice but to go along with Ron's idea.
Guided by a special palace magician, they arrived at the main hall of the Carlo Magic Palace.
The Empress sat quietly on the throne.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."
"Greetings..."
Inside the palace, the two young men, each with a small retinue, accompanied the Magic Queen to pay their respects.
