The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 558: Because of that person

Views:

Regnar never thought that Inelise could still be as beautiful as she is today.

If Regnar had to use one word to describe today's Inelise, Regnar would choose extremely shining.

Yes, shine.

Today's Enelise is worthy of the word shining. Under Annelotte's design, Enelise wore a lavender evening dress today. Different from the relatively mature styles of Annelotte and Irene, the clothes that Inelis wore today looked more youthful and youthful, but Regnar also couldn't get enough of the clothes that Inelis wore. Find even the slightest hint of childishness. Young, lively and energetic, this is the main style that Inelis wears today.

Most of the nobles who were not familiar with Inelise could feel the sunshine and confidence exuding from the little girl the first moment they saw her. This made many middle-aged nobles appreciate and praise Enelise more at the first sight. Even though the little girl hadn't spoken yet, they couldn't help but think how lucky they would be to have such a beautiful and capable daughter.

The little girl's hair seemed to have been processed by Annelotte's magic. She changed her previous straight high ponytail hairstyle. The slightly curly long golden hair was draped casually on her shoulders, which made the originally immature little girl look a little more mature and charming. And this is one of Annelotte's good intentions: she hopes to constantly remind Regnar through her appearance that this child is no longer the little girl who can be fooled casually, and she has grown up.

The little girl wore light makeup on her face, focusing on highlighting her big, green and transparent eyes like the most precious emeralds. At this time, Enelise had veritable star eyes, and those eyes shone with strange agility under the magical lighting of the exhibition hall. At this time, let alone other noble young people, even Regnar himself couldn't help but think of one word in his head when he saw Inelise's somewhat green and charming face: cute.

So cute, so cute, almost all the men in the auditorium were smitten with this cute and charming little girl from the Second Magic Academy. Even many middle-aged ladies couldn't help but discuss it with their husbands when they saw her.

"Hey, that little girl looks really cute. Since she is a student of the Second Magic Academy, her family must not be very well off. Should we adopt her as a goddaughter? Looking at that little face, I wonder I can't help but want to squeeze it and kiss it!" A lady with the emblem of the Church of Tomorrow on her chest said to her husband. That badge symbolizes the recognition of her by the Church of Tomorrow and shows that she is a kind-hearted person who is willing to give to others.

"It takes a lot of resources to train a mage." Her husband frowned and said while calculating the gains and losses, "Is this girl worth our training?"

"Are you old and confused?" The lady looked at her husband with disdain: "Can you become a student representative in the Second Magic Academy? Do you think she will be outstanding?"

"That's true." The man nodded: "Okay, we'll see what happens later."

But they didn't expect that after ten minutes, they completely gave up their plan to adopt Xiao Yi Ni as their goddaughter.

Inelise stood on the stage with a smile on her face. If it had been in the past, Enelise, who was stared at by hundreds of pairs of eyes, would have blushed and been so nervous that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

But now, little Yi Ni has changed, she has become brave and mature. She searched quietly in the vast sea of people under the stage, and when she saw Regna looking at her calmly with a smile, the smile on her face grew wider.

"Good evening to all teachers, classmates, and all the noble ladies and gentlemen present." Inelise didn't have any speech script in her hand. She simply introduced herself following Annelotte's opening remarks: "My name is Aenerys, Aenerys Slater."

What Inelis said after that was nothing special. It was just a brief report on some of the achievements she had obtained in the past few months of study.

And it wasn't until tonight that Regnar knew that Inelise had broken through the low-level realm a month ago and officially became an intermediate mage. And she also became the first mid-level mage trained by the two major magic academies. Although an intermediate mage is quite insignificant for a huge empire covering half of the continent.

But such a good start is very important to the empire. At least, now Larvin is sure that the two magic academies he built under huge financial pressure were a wise decision. More than ten years later, when the Magic Academy is on the right track, the Eagle of the North will also be able to have a large team of magicians of its own.

By that time…

And while Inelise was speaking on the stage, Alexander was sitting in an unnoticed corner and quietly listening to the speech on the stage.

"Your Highness." A shadow appeared near Alexander at some point. His whole body was hidden in the shadows of the corridor, and his voice was so low that only Alexander could hear it.

"Have you checked it out?" Alexander still looked at Inelise on the stage with a gentle smile, but his words were directed at the shadow.

"It's clear." Shadow replied: "If nothing else goes wrong, that assassin should be the strongest assassin in the Assassination Department of the Stoke Empire Intelligence Bureau. He has no name, but we all call him No. 1."

"Nothing unexpected?" Alexander frowned when he heard this ambiguous explanation.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness." Shadow bowed slightly: "The Assassination Department of the Stoke Empire Intelligence Bureau keeps their top three assassins very secretive. Until now, we have not been able to find out the real names, genders, and ages of these three assassins. Details are waiting.”

"It sounds like they are much more professional in this matter than Regnar." Alexander sighed helplessly. He took a sip of red wine in the crystal glass, and then asked, "Can you find out who Regnar and that person are?" Is it related to the assassin?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, we don't have a clue about this matter. But based on my observations and speculations, I think Lord Regnar and No. 1 should not have been in contact for a long time. The only chance for them to come into contact should be with Regnar That time when the Lord went to the thousand-year-old capital to look for his own weapons and equipment. According to the information from the thousand-year-old capital, it seemed that a master came to the palace of the Imperial Prince Satre to stop Lord Regnar, but he failed in the end."

"So that's it..." Alexander thought thoughtfully. He carefully recalled what Regnar said when he was talking to him, and then asked: "Can you make some guesses about the gender of No. 1? "

"Okay." Shadow nodded: "Based on past intelligence and Lord Regnar's performance, there is a high possibility that No. 1 is a woman."

"Woman?" Alexander raised his eyebrows, and then said half-jokingly: "So Regnar is really not a gay?"

"..." Shadow's head was covered with black lines, but he didn't answer.

"Do you think it's possible that Regner made some kind of deal with the Stoker people?"

"Yes, but the possibility is not high." Shadow replied: "Although Lord Regnar is not very loyal to the empire, he hates the Stoke people quite a lot because of what happened in the past few years. So, normally, Lord Regnar will never betray the empire."

"But there are indeed variables in front of us now." Alexander said calmly: "Alfred."

"But Your Highness, you have made a promise to him."

Alexander turned his head as if there was no doubt, and then he smiled and said: "Is this considered favoritism?"

"My subordinates dare not."

"Okay, you should also understand my character. If you are calm in front of me, you will be more likeable to me." Alexander shrugged nonchalantly: "Actually, I have the same view as you on this matter. The assassin should be It has something to do with Regnar, but this assassination incident should not be instigated by Regnar. The finishing work on this matter will be handled according to Regnar's request, you go first. Oh, by the way, best wishes in advance Happy New Year to you.”

"Thank you, Your Highness, I will take my leave."

"You guy..." Alexander seemed to mutter to himself helplessly, and then continued to watch Inelise's speech on the center stage.

"I am not a Hawke Empire person." Inelise's voice sounded as clear and sweet as a mountain stream. She said with a smile: "Of course, I am not a southerner. I am different from everyone else. My hometown is even further away, in the continent of Lance."

Hearing what Inelis said, many nobles began to talk in low voices. Inelise also gave them a few seconds to talk, then took a deep breath and continued: "I was just a helpless little farm girl. Later, a man appeared. . He saved me when my life was in danger, accompanied me when I was lonely, protected me when I was helpless, and encouraged me when I lost my direction."

In fact, when she said this, Enelise's head was completely confused. She had already prepared a more gorgeous and touching speech, and she had memorized it thoroughly and planned to use it tonight. However, when she actually started talking about the last paragraph of her speech, she suddenly couldn't remember anything.

In this case, Enelise could just give a concluding speech and then end her speech there. But she didn't do that, because she had been waiting for several years, and now she didn't want to wait, even for a second. Therefore, Enelise could only rely on the abilities she had developed in the student club to speak whatever came to her mind.

"In the academy, students often ask me why I work so hard on everything. But now, I can give the students the answer to this question." Inelise focused her attention on Regnar : "The reason why I have this endless motivation is because of that person."
