magician of beasts

A Luo showed a slightly puzzled expression, and Sefrella went on to say: "Brother, we have checked everything before... You know, this is a necessary procedure. Although everything is obvious, But sometimes you have to keep some people's mouths shut..." Having said this, he paused to see A Luo's expression.

The silver-haired young man smiled gently, expressing his understanding.

"Later, we found out that your life was not good, but there was a kind elder who took care of you, so I went to visit that lady Nima, hoping to express Sliver's love to the best of my ability. Thank you to her from the family." Sefruila seemed a little shy, "...Of course, we have also sent an invitation to her, hoping to invite her to the manor as a guest, and let you, brother, be able to get together with her. I think you would like to She should have missed it for a long time."

Hearing this, A Luo sighed softly: "Yes, I have long wanted to go back to see Nima, but I have been blocked by many things." He looked directly into the eyes of the person opposite, "Sevreila, thank you .”

"I'm very sorry, brother, Nima couldn't come back with me." Sefruila shook her head, "I'm really sorry, there's nothing I can do..."

"...No, I'm very happy if you have this intention." A Luo smiled, "Nimma...wouldn't you like to come? However, I was supposed to visit her in the first place."

"No, Ms. Nima is very willing to come, but she is an essential member of the library, so the president didn't allow her a vacation." Sefrila's eyes flashed, "I still can't do enough. "

"...I can't blame you for this." A Luo seemed to hesitate for a moment, "In fact, during the exchange conference, President Rosaville had already..."

The Duke frowned deeply: "Did he threaten you?"

A Luo paused, and finally nodded helplessly: "He said, Nima misses me very much."

The Duke's eyes were deep, and he looked straight at Arlo for a while, then opened the drawer, took out an envelope that didn't look very noble, and handed it over.

Sefruila looked at A Luo, with a hint of urging in her tone: "This is a letter from Nima, brother, she really misses you very much."

Arlo's body trembled almost invisibly, and he stretched out his hand—the movement was faster than before, showing his eagerness, and he said almost the moment he saw the writing on the envelope: "Yes...thank you."

However, Arlo didn't open the letter right here, but just turned his eyes red, and changed another topic: "Your Excellency, and Severilla, I have received an invitation from Shelfis—a prom."

The Duke nodded: "Got it, you go, remember to dress decently enough.

And Sefruila also raised the corners of her mouth: "Brother, I think the Fifth Prince would not mind giving me an invitation card?"

"I'm sure Shell won't forget." Arlo smiled, bent over and then straightened up, "Shel said he would give me and Sirius a set of dresses, it will be very good."

The Duke seems to have lost the ability to continue the conversation, or does he have something to say to Sefrella?He waved his hand, indicating that Arlo and Sirius could go out.

Arlo, who has always been gentle, is always kind. Of course, he thoughtfully did not forget to close the door of the study.

After returning to the room, the two sat on the soft sofa. Sirius pulled Alore into his arms and watched him open the letter.

The content of the letter is very simple, only a few sentences.

First the title—"Dear Errol"—caused Sirius to snort very slightly, and then the content of the text:

"Long time no see. I heard that you are doing well now and have found your relatives. I am very happy for you and hope to have the opportunity to meet you in the future. Do everything you want to do, you don't need to deliberately come to see me, I The most important thing is always your safety and happiness. I have done it in the library for many years, and I will continue to do it in the future. My husband is waiting for me in the quiet place. There will also be my end, and I will be happy waiting for that moment."

"Nima already knows what the president of the Magic Guild has persecuted me. She hopes that I will not worry about her safety and not be threatened by anyone because of her." A Luo stared at the piece of paper, the most common one in the Magic Guild. It was written on paper and ink, but to him, it was something that weighed a thousand catties, "She mentioned her husband who died early to tell me that she was never afraid of death, only my safety What she cares about, let me not act rashly."

Sirius buried his head in Arlo's hair and whispered, "She cares about you."

A Luo took a deep breath: "Yes, although I don't think I'm worth it." We only got along for five years, and during these five years, although Nima took care of him, the meaning to him was only The initial kindness was just that, he thought he would treat it with the same kindness, but he didn't regard Nima as an important person - when he left, Nima gave him her most precious and commemorative thing ——Her husband's relic, a valuable interspatial ring, at this moment he was moved, and found that Nima's concern for him was not as shallow as he thought, so he promised to come back to visit in the future, in return , is also grateful.But now, Nima wrote such a letter again...

"No one is more worthy than you." Sirius didn't like Arlo's arrogance, "You also care about her." Although he himself was not happy with this fact.

A Luo smiled lightly, thought for a while, and threw the letter into the fire and burned it.

However, when the flame disappeared, a line of fiery small words suddenly appeared above the ashes - "My child, don't come to me, don't make me sad, and maybe I'm biased, but yours Your family doesn't have genuine love for you."

The moment he finished reading, the line of words also disappeared.

A Luo suddenly didn't know what to say.

Sirius put his lips on Arlo's forehead lightly, and said in a low voice: "She is very sharp."

Aluo, whose body became stiff unconsciously because of Nima's letter, finally relaxed under the clumsy but gentle comfort of Sirius Pus, and said softly, "Well, yes..."

Shelfis sent out invitations for his ball on a sunny day, and almost all the nobles in the vicinity received his invitations, and of course, the Sliver family would never be missed.

Arlo and Sirius looked at the two big boxes on the table—they were brought by the housekeeper this morning and were said to be gift boxes from the servants of the fifth prince's family. If nothing else, it must be Shelfie inside. It's the gown that Stanley said.

Sirius opened the two boxes together. Sure enough, what was inside was a dress that looked low-key but definitely tasteful, and a wooden box containing small accessories, which both of them felt was acceptable.

However, this is not something to be replaced now.

A few days later, because the dance would start at seven o'clock in the evening, Arlo and Sirius went into the bathroom to take a shower at four o'clock in the afternoon, and made themselves look a little better-although they didn't need this at all, but This was at Sliver Manor, and there were too many people staring at them.

In the middle, Sirius Pus made a scene with Arlo a few times, and they were delayed in the bathroom for nearly two euros. After they came out, they changed into their dresses and went to 06:30. They came to the hall , Sevreira sat on the sofa and waited for a long time.

"Brother, and Mr. Sirius, you look very good." Sefrila praised them sincerely the first time she saw them.

He himself was wearing royal blue riding attire. Because of his immature appearance, he did not wear a luxurious gown. Instead, he used such a tight-fitting attire, which added a lot of heroism to him.

And Arlo and Sirius are both wearing high-necked gowns, similar in style but subtly different, Arlo's is light purple, while Sirius' is black-he seems to be the only color that suits him best.

It does look good.

"Sevreila, your outfit is quite suitable." Alo smiled in response, and walked to the side of the silver-haired boy with Sirius, "Should we go?"

Sefrella straightened her clothes and said with a smile, "Of course, punctuality is a rule that cannot be ignored by nobles."

Just as they expected, when they arrived at the gate of Shelfis Palace, it was exactly seven o'clock, and the sky was already getting dark, and the palace revealed a noisy atmosphere and bright lights.

After tidying themselves up again, they got out of the carriage and walked towards the palace together.

The place where the dance party is held is in the hall. Everything from the food to the utensils is exquisitely arranged. The three food tables display all kinds of unexpected food in a complex manner, which is very amazing.

In the headlights on the ceiling, the fiery red magic core is dancing with agile light, and there are also magic cores glowing white light embedded in the four corners of the ceiling, and around the center there are many colorful magic lamps dotted with stars, emitting light. The different light added a charming flavor to the whole hall.

Many people have already come in the hall, all of them are in extravagant costumes and arrogant attitudes, they can talk and laugh freely with each other, ladies and ladies have their own circles, and those nobles who come with a purpose, sometimes Desperately began their explorations - each other, and maybe later with the hostesses.

As the host, Shelfis is also very gorgeously dressed, with the demeanor of an imperial prince. He is talking to a young girl at this time, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, sipping lightly under ambiguous eyes.His gaze swept across the door inadvertently, and he happened to see two friends coming side by side. After nodding to the girl, he quickly walked towards them.

"Hi, my friends, you are finally here!" His voice was not too loud, and anyone who paid attention could hear it clearly. In front of Sirius, he opened his arms to give Alo A hug, and Sirius shifted his foot to the left, just taking the place of his lover.

Shelfis didn't expect Sirius to use such a method - he thought that being in public would make him suffer, but he just paused, and then hugged Sirius with greater strength , laughed teasingly in his ear a few times, and then he was pushed away impatiently.

At this time, his eyes turned to the silver-haired boy who came in with two friends: "Welcome, Severilla, I hope the food and drinks will satisfy you." Then he smiled decently, "Do you mind if I borrow your brother?"

Sefrella smiled appropriately: "Of course I don't mind, Prince Shelfis, please feel free."

Shelfis nodded to him again, then turned around and took Arlo and the two away: "Come, come, follow me over there, Allereel is here too, do you remember him?"

A Luo smiled: "Of course I remember..."

Leaving aside how Shelfis took Arlo to a quiet place that was less visible—Allerear found it, and at the same time made Allerier's comfort disappear in an instant, in the hall Others—the aristocrats who have long speculated about the theme of this ball have already started talking in private.

The silver-haired young man in his 20s came here again with Severilla from the Sliver family. His identity was quite obvious—a well-known victim, but Shelfis was so enthusiastic about him and brought him to his good friend Next to the Duke of West Asia, and the Duke of West Asia seems to be more familiar with him... You know, the Duke of West Asia is not an inherited family title, he was originally just an illegitimate son of a declining noble family, but he got his current status by virtue of his military exploits, and he is at odds with the family , At the same time, he does not associate with the nobles. Apart from looking differently at Prince Shelfis, he swears that he will only be loyal to the king of the empire. If it weren't for Prince Shelfis, he would have lost his right of succession, and the Duke of West Asia would probably not even get close to him.

There was also the tall man who was inseparable from the silver-haired young man. He was extremely handsome and oppressive—even made some nobles feel uneasy, thinking of the vision that had appeared before... The nobles with different thoughts restrained themselves in an instant expression.

Allerear is wearing a red robe today, which is a bit too gorgeous with his long purple hair. However, as long as the nobles in Landesco rank well, they will know that although the Duke of West Asia I don't like to attend banquets very much, but if I have to attend, I will always wear a red robe, which makes people afraid to strike up a conversation - as if I can smell the bloody smell coming from him as long as I get close to him.

"Sher, Errol, and Sirius." Allerius greeted lazily, "Why are you here?"

"It's too conspicuous over there, people haven't arrived yet, I don't plan to let Errol be stared at all the time." Shelfis laughed, "It's not good to make him too nervous." Of course, the more important thing is The reason is that if his friend is really watched for a long time, he is afraid that the other person will go berserk because he can't bear it-he is well aware of Sirius' desire for exclusiveness.

"Really." Allerious said casually, "You asked me to come here to support you. I am here, but this is too boring. I will leave early when you finish your work."

Shelfis's face was bitter for a moment: "You want to leave me here alone?"

"Errol, will you accompany Shell?" Allereel glanced at the silver-haired youth.

Before Arlo could speak, Sirius had already said, "We'll be leaving soon, too."

Arlo had no choice but to smile at Allerius apologetically, Shelfis's face darkened, he knew Arlo and Sirius' temperament, so he wouldn't blame them, but for the Duke of West Asia, he looked cold : "Aleliere, are you really not going to stay here a little longer?"

Allerier carefully observed Shelfis's expression, and found that he was really angry, so he sat upright immediately, and compromised: "Sher, you know I'm joking with you, right?"

Shelfis looked at him for a long time before asking: "Then you will stay?"

"Yes, I will stay with you until the end of the prom." Allereel stood up and hugged Shelfis to sit on the sofa, "Actually, I always thought you could call me Al... the end of the prom If it's too late, will you take me in?"

Seeing the flattering expression on Allerear's face, Shelfis finally gave him a smile: "Of course, Al, I will take you in."

Allerius also smiled: "Then it's settled."

Shelfis glanced at him, and turned his gaze back to his friend. At this time, his smile deepened: "Erol, come and sit, and the same goes for Leafy Teeth."

Arlo and Sirius looked at each other and sat on the other side of the sofa. Sirius hugged Arlo from behind and whispered in his ear, "It's a bit strange."

"Yeah." Allo nodded in agreement.It is indeed a bit strange, he has known Sher for a long time, and he has only seen three kinds of attitudes, one is towards the mercenaries, which was more bold at that time, the other is towards outsiders with a mask, and the other is towards himself and Sirius The easy-going and occasional jokes he used to have when he was in Sis, but he never knew that Shell would lose his temper with others...or more like anger?Moreover, Schell seemed to have never expected to be rejected by the Duke of West Asia when he made the request, so that he couldn't keep his face after being rejected, and then recovered from the other party's fawning—yes, it was fawning... This atmosphere... what is it?And the Duke of West Asia is also quite strange. Since he couldn't refuse, why did he have to refuse first to make Xie Er angry?

Before Arlo could figure out what was going on, Shelfis looked at the magic clock hanging in the hall, and found that it was already 07:30, and there seemed to be no one coming in at the door, and the nobles who were talking together in twos and threes by the dance floor They are all familiar faces - even if the faces are not familiar, but the badges embroidered on the shoulders are also very familiar... In other words, almost everyone has arrived?

Then, the dance can also be officially announced.

Shelfis walked to the front of the hall, clapped her hands lightly, and the servants playing the music stopped their movements. The soothing music that had been flowing in the hall suddenly disappeared, and the people who were talking also fell silent, and they all looked in the direction of Shelfis. go.

"I'm very pleased to invite you all to my palace, and I also hope that the reception tonight can satisfy you." First of all, the opening speech, Shelfis's clear voice, is very eye-catching.

The nobles applauded respectfully, and Shelfis was about to say the following, but the sudden sound of footsteps from the door interrupted him.
