Benjamin couldn't help but frowned.
Didn't he say it would start in an hour? It had only been a few minutes. Why was there someone knocking on his door
Although he had doubts, this was the palace after all, so there shouldn't be any surprises. Therefore, he hesitated for a moment before walking over and opening the door.
"Excuse me, you..." As soon as he was halfway through his words, he was stuck in his mouth and did not come out.
I saw a little girl about five or six years old standing outside the door. As soon as Benjamin opened the door, she raised her head, stared at Benjamin with a pair of eyes, and looked at Benjamin with some confusion.
Benjamin was stunned.
"Who are you? How come I haven't seen you before?" The little girl frowned, covered her mouth and took a few steps back.
"... I am Benjamin, and I was invited here as a guest." Benjamin came back to his senses, and when he saw the other person like this, he could only slow down his tone and said, "Who are you? Why are you knocking on the door of my room?"
"I... my cat is missing. I'm looking for it. Did you see it?" the little girl hesitated and said.
When Benjamin heard this, he smiled and said, "I didn't see your cat. Do you need help? What does it look like?"
He has realized the identity of the other party.
A little girl who can run around in the palace and wears a white dress that looks very valuable at first glance. Although she feels quite childish and ignorant, who else can do this except the princess
He also inquired about the situation of the royal family. This little girl is probably the king's only daughter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the palace, he met the princess of Freden. Benjamin didn't know whether he had a sudden burst of luck.
"Are you lying to me?" The little girl looked suspicious, "If you are really a guest, then you shouldn't be allowed to go anywhere. How can you help me find a cat?"
Well... this princess is not that naive.
Benjamin squatted down and said, "I am a mage. I am very mentally sharp and can find things that ordinary people cannot find. Therefore, I don't need to walk around, and I can still help you find cats."
He didn't lie to the little girl. Using the water element perception method, it is very convenient to find some cats and dogs.
Of course, it would be much more convenient if you could pry into the secrets of the palace during this process and look for anything interesting. Even if someone discovers it, there is still a reason to help the princess find the cat, right?
He is really witty.
"To satisfy your curiosity, you are so despicable to take advantage of a little lolita!" The system appeared and accused Benjamin righteously.
"Thank you for the compliment." Benjamin replied in his heart without any care.
"..." The system was speechless.
But in reality, the little girl tilted her head and thought about it, and accepted Benjamin's statement.
"Okay, then help me look for it." She pulled Benjamin's sleeve and said, "It's all white, and its eyes are blue. It's very beautiful, but it's a little fat recently. It's probably like this fat… "
As she spoke, she also made some good gestures with her hands.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll help you find it now." Benjamin smiled and said.
The little girl nodded heavily.
However, just when Benjamin was about to activate the water element induction method, an uninvited guest appeared, interrupting Benjamin's plan to spy on the palace.
"Oh my God... Your Highness, why did you come here?" A middle-aged woman who looked like a servant suddenly ran out from the corner of the corridor and hurriedly came to the little girl's side.
Seeing this, Benjamin had no choice but to stop the water element induction and stood up.
"Her Highness the Princess is missing. I just want to find her." The little girl turned her head, looked at the maid, and couldn't help but purse her lips.
Her Royal Highness...that's probably the cat's name.
Benjamin was a little helpless to complain.
"Then you can't run around alone in the palace. Let His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen know. Aren't you going to be angry again?" The maid squatted down, took the little girl's hand and said, "Come on, let's go back. I will help you get the cat back."
The little girl was a little reluctant, but nodded and said, "Okay..."
The maid's expression was obviously relieved.
The little girl seemed to be worried about something, and immediately added: "By the way, don't tell others about this. I don't want to be scolded anymore."
The maid smiled and said, "Of course not."
After saying that, she straightened up and bowed to Benjamin, saying: "I'm sorry, you must be the guest invited by His Majesty today. I'm really sorry for disturbing you."
Although Benjamin felt regretful that he had missed a good excuse to spy on the palace, he could only show a polite smile on his face and said, "It doesn't matter."
The little girl waved to Benjamin and said, "I'm leaving. Goodbye, Brother Mage."
Benjamin smiled and nodded.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thanks to the fact that the body he traveled through was relatively young, otherwise, he probably wouldn't be called "Mage Brother".
"By the way..." Suddenly, the little girl turned around again, pointed to Benjamin's clothes in a very adult tone, and said, "If you are going to a dinner party, don't wear this outfit. It's very embarrassing." of."
“…”
Benjamin was speechless.
I was going to change clothes, but was interrupted by your knock on the door - that's what he wanted to say.
But why should he compete with a little girl
Just like that, the little girl waved her hand and left with the servant. Benjamin stood at the door, shook his head helplessly, turned back to the room, and closed the door.
After all this fuss, he didn't have much time left. Therefore, he quickly took a shower and put on formal clothes. Within a few minutes, the servant responsible for welcoming him came over.
"Master Mage, the dinner is about to begin, please come with me."
Benjamin nodded, took the well-packaged bottle of expensive red wine, and followed the servant out of the room. They walked around the complex terrain of the palace again, and finally came to a small restaurant with exquisite decoration.
"Report to your majesty, Master Benjamin is here." The servant stood at the door and shouted.
Then, a very enthusiastic voice came over.
"Is it Master Benjamin? Quick, invite him in!"
Benjamin took a deep breath, and at the signal of the servants on both sides, he walked in slowly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw a young man in his thirties standing up from the huge dining table, walking towards Benjamin with a smile on his face.
Benjamin was unclear about the situation for a moment and subconsciously prepared to shake hands with the other party. As a result, the young man walked up to him and gave him a bear hug.
“…”
Benjamin was a little confused.
After the young man hugged him, he patted Benjamin's shoulder so hard that Benjamin almost coughed up blood on the spot.
This... what exactly is going on
"So you are the Master Benjamin who has made great achievements. Lance and Mikel both said that you are young and powerful. I still don't believe it. I didn't expect you to be so young." The young man laughed a few times and said. .
"You're flattered..." Benjamin rubbed his shoulders and forced a smile.
At this moment, he probably had some guesses in his mind.
In fact, if you take a closer look at this young man in his thirties, he looks quite similar to the little girl just now.
Then... do I still need to say it? This guy who is a little too enthusiastic should be the owner of this palace, the second prince who single-handedly established Freden, and the current king.
It's really... a bit unexpected.
"Come on, stop standing, sit down!" The king patted Benjamin on the shoulder again and said.
Benjamin took a deep breath again, without saying anything, nodded, followed him and sat down in a seat that had been vacant by the servant.
"Well, Master Benjamin, you must still be confused." After sitting down, the king suddenly smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to the other people here first."
Benjamin was still confused, so of course he hurriedly agreed.
Following the king's words, he looked in the other direction of the table.
"First of all, let me introduce you to this person." The king could be heard saying in a very proud tone, "The most amazing mage in our territory of Freden, and also the president of the Mage Freemasonry. In my wayward way, After my sister split the empire and took away a large number of mages, she helped me stabilize the situation in the country, Mage Aldrich."
Benjamin looked over in astonishment. I saw across the table, the old mage I just met today. At this moment, he changed into more formal clothes, sat there quietly, and nodded to Benjamin.
"Master Benjamin, we meet again." He said with a smile.
