Vol 4 Chapter 77 “Justice” and “Emperor” Meeting
“Good evening, Cummins.”
Compared to Grelint and Audrey, Hibbert knew him much better, and the two even had official handovers. After greeting, Hibbert pointed to the two behind him and introduced with a smile:
“This is my sister, Audrey Hall, I think you should know.”
Cummins nodded heartily and smiled:
“We met four years ago at the Marquis of Rosenthal’s house.”
He looked at Audrey a little rudely, and complimented:
“Hello, Miss Audrey, I haven’t seen you for a few years. Although I have heard about your beauty for a long time, I have even made countless assumptions about it, but when I really see you in person, I still have to admit my own. Imagination is too barren.”
Audrey raised her skirt and saluted, smiling politely:
“thanks.”
After greeting, Hibbert continued to introduce:
“This is Grelint, I don’t know if you know him?”
“certainly.”
Cummins’ eyes lit up.
Strictly speaking, in Hibbert and his party, Grelint was the main person he invited today.
“Last year, when Grelint inherited the title, I was there to watch the ceremony… But even if I don’t know him, I’m definitely not unfamiliar, after all, he is a man who has been frequently published in newspapers recently.
“Good evening, Mr. Warrior, my sister and I are honored and delighted to invite you to this party.”
The second half of the sentence was addressed to Grelint.
“Good evening, Mr. Cummins, you are welcome.”
Grelint squeezed out a standard smile.
After a few words of courtesy, and another guest came one after another, Cummins didn’t chat with them any more, but let the servant lead them into the venue.
In a few minutes, the dinner officially started.
Although it was a banquet for the younger generation, Earl Gross, as the host here, came out to give a few brief speeches, and then he left here and handed over the presidency to his only son, Cummins.
And with Cummins’ speech, Grelint finally saw the protagonist of the banquet.
It was a girl who was a little taller than Audrey, but not as good as Carroll. She had long, curly, navy blue hair.
“what?”
Grelint moved in his heart, and glanced at her in the dark.
“really.”
This girl is actually a Beyonder of the “Storm” pathway, but her level is not high, only Sequence 9.
In the next second, he swayed his head slightly and withdrew his consciousness.
His movements were hidden and fast, and almost no one noticed – except for Audrey, who was observant:
“What’s wrong? Grelint.”
She asked in a low voice curiously.
“nothing.”
Grelint shook his head indifferently, it was none of his business, and he had no intention of revealing other people’s secrets.
Soon, after Cummins’ speech, it was time for the first dance.
In general, the first dance of the ladies is for their husbands, but most of the parties are young people who are not married, so the dance partner combination should be much more casual. Young men who have ideas can invite their favorite girls— This is actually an obscure temptation. Although the young lady who agrees may not be the same as the man who made the invitation, she is usually not very resistant.
That’s why it’s not considered impolite to decline an invitation in this situation.
Looking at the young men and women who were young Muai, Grelint sighed for a while.
“Well, just looking at my age, it seems that I am younger than most of them! How can I live and live like a middle-aged person?”
Without a favorite goal, Grelint was about to invite Audrey to dance the first dance.
Speaking of which, when it comes to love, Audrey is not like a girl of her age at all. It is often said that a girl is pregnant with spring, and young unmarried girls, in fact, their longing for love is usually higher than that of boys, but Audrey is different. …but this is convenient for Grelint, not only saves the embarrassment of being single, but also saves the effort of dealing with other girls.
The social interaction of the nobles is actually very troublesome.
At the same time, this can also help Audrey, a guy who has no intention of falling in love, block those passionate suitors.
Just thinking about it, Grelint saw that two or three young men were already leaning over here eagerly.
“Well, Audrey’s exaggerated charm…”
At the same time, Audrey turned her head over and looked at Grelint.
Needless to say, Grelint didn’t even make an official invitation, and the two tacitly stepped onto the dance floor holding hands.
“It’s fortunate that I have you, otherwise I can only pull Hibbert to deal with this kind of situation.”
She muttered softly.
Ordinary banquets, although the first dance also has a special meaning, but like this, there is a hint of love.
Grelint smiled:
“Indeed, it’s fortunate that I have you, otherwise if I don’t want to be embarrassed, I can only wait for the girl who is singled out later.”
When the two got together, there was absolutely no ambiguity between the pair of dance partners next to them.
It was Audrey who started the conversation first. She lowered her voice, but couldn’t suppress the excitement in her tone:
“Grelint, I just finished my promotion the day before yesterday, and I’m already a Sequence 7!”
“Oh?”
Grelint was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why he felt that Audrey was a little special this afternoon.
Pretty fast, it shouldn’t be long before she became a “mind reader”…
Although she became an “audience” a long time ago, Audrey had no way of acting before. In fact, Klein the Fool pointed out the acting method, and then it took a while before she completely digested the “audience” potion, and she was done. Sequence 8 promotion.
Seeing his doubts, Audrey also comforted:
“Don’t worry, I have completely digested the ‘Mind Reader’ potion… By the way, do you know what the Sequence 7 of the ‘Audience’ pathway is called?”
She had the expectation of “Come and ask me” written all over her face.
Grelint laughed dumbly, and shook his head very cooperatively.
“Tell me?”
…
While Audrey was showing off her extraordinary abilities, a low and illusory whisper sounded in Grelint’s ear:
“Tomorrow’s Tarot will be cancelled.”
It came from Klein the Fool.
Hmm, Klein is really good at it!
Grelint nodded secretly.
At this juncture, Amon’s body may have come to Backlund quietly, and it is not very rational to insist on holding a Tarot Club.
Because there was a strike when they plotted against Qilingus a month ago, neither Audrey nor Alger felt anything unusual, and Grelint knew the reason, so there was only Little Sun. Just a little bit suspicious.
For a moment, Grelint had already thought of a lot.
At the same moment, Audrey also received the revelation from Mr. Fool. With a precedent, she didn’t think too much about it, and quickly came to her senses, fearing that Grelint would discover her abnormality.
However, when she came back to her senses, she found that Grelint was still in a daze.
so coincidentally…
In the next second, fortunately, a shocking flash shone through her heart.
Etc., etc!
Is it really just a “coincidence”?
At this moment, many of Grelint’s habitual movements, and Mr. Emperor’s movements when he did not deliberately restrain and were relatively relaxed, overlapped in Audrey’s mind… The details of his demeanor and language habits all overlapped. .
By the way, when Grelint was in the Southern Continent, Mr. “Emperor” also claimed to be in the Southern Continent. Now that Grelint is back, the “Emperor” also made an excuse to come to Backlund.
Thinking about it, a bold guess appeared in Audrey’s mind:
“Emperor” is Grelint, and Grelint is “Emperor”!
This is not a groundless guess. After Audrey made this guess, many details confirmed it one by one.
Grelint doesn’t know yet, he has already shown his bottom in the newly promoted “psychiatrist”… This is the third time he has lost his horse this week… The first time is when the “Emperor” has lost his horse at Klein. The second time was the “Lord of Order” taking the initiative to lose his horse at Carroll, this time the “Emperor” was losing his horse in front of Audrey the “Justice”.
After a while, Grelint also came back to his senses.
“What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable? Audrey.”
“No, it’s fine.”
Pulling back her thoughts, Audrey quickly denied it.
“By the way, Grelint, have you studied tarot cards? I heard that it is also an important tool in the mysterious world.”
“Huh? How did you think of that?”
Grelint secretly wondered why Audrey suddenly jumped to the tarot card.
“I only know that it can be used for divination.”
“Well, if, I mean if, if you were to pick one of all the main cards, which would you pick? Well, I think I’d pick the ‘Justice’ card!”
She still doesn’t know, Grelint knew she was “justice” early on, so she was still testing and hinting frantically.
Grelint: “…”
At this point, if he still doesn’t understand what Audrey means, his brain can be donated to Maric to feed the living corpse.
As soon as his thoughts changed, he probably understood the reason. Audrey should have guessed that she was the “emperor” based on her dazedness just now and contacted the details of the past, so she came to test and hint herself.
At this point, there is no need to hide any more. Grelint’s thoughts turned, and he lowered his voice and changed into the “Emperor” tone, “Haha” and laughed:
“Good evening, Miss ‘Justice’… Well, yes, I’m the ‘Emperor’… How did you guess?”
After being confirmed, Audrey was very excited, and she raised the corner of her mouth slightly:
“Don’t forget what my Beyonder pathway is, although you have deliberately concealed it, I can easily tell which are your subconscious actions!
“It’s you, you are really stupid! You didn’t recognize me for so long… It’s also the ‘audience’ pathway, even the sequence level is exactly the same, and it’s also a Loen noble, height, voice, all…”
“Ha ha.”
Grelint could only respond with a dry smile.
In the melodious music, UU reading www.uukanshu.com was talking, and what Audrey was about to say suddenly got stuck in her throat.
She gradually receded from her excitement, calmed down, and there was a little more anger in her tone:
“Grillint!”
She gritted her silver teeth, and her words were stained with shame:
“You already guessed it?”
“Uh…”
