The Awakening of Cannon Fodder

That night, in order to welcome Catherine's arrival, a grand party was held in the castle.

The fragrance of clothes, the singing and dancing, and the extravagant banquet made people forget the flames of war sweeping across the mainland, as well as Grand Duke Maurice who had just passed away not long ago.

As tonight's heroine, Catherine has attracted much attention. As soon as she entered the venue, she was surrounded by many people. The inconspicuous He Yu and Jiang Jiang were pushed aside.

Catherine has experienced many experiences in this kind of occasion since she was a child, and she has long been used to it. She assumed the posture of the royal family and handled it with ease.Seeing this, He Yu was relieved, and took Jiang Jiang to the nearby restaurant to eat.

At the banquet in the Duke's Mansion, the ingredients are naturally not ordinary things, but low-grade magic plants and monster meat, which are cooked with special techniques and taste delicious.

One of the meats, in particular, was fresh, sweet, smooth, and top-notch. He Yu and Jiang Jiang stayed at the dining table and ate one plate at a time, until the servant in charge of serving the dishes expressed apologetically that there was a lot of food in the kitchen. The ingredients have run out.

"..." He Yu always felt that the other party looked at him with condemnation.

I hope that the servants of the Duke's Mansion will not feel that the subordinates brought by Princess Catherine are foodies.

The two put down their knives and forks and quickly slipped out of the restaurant.

It happened that the song in the dance hall was changed, and the people who were on the dance floor dispersed, and new people joined them.

He Yu glanced over there, then turned around suddenly, smiled at Gentleman Jiang Jiang, stretched out a hand, bowed slightly, and asked gracefully, "Can I invite you to dance?"

"Of course." Jiang Jiang held her outstretched hand, and the two quickly slid onto the dance floor holding hands.

This is not an ordinary world. Because of the existence of extraordinary power, the social atmosphere is relatively more open. Just look at Angela attracting so many men and women by her side to know.

Although this kind of situation is rare, the stronger the existence, the less likely there will be only one person around.Therefore, Angela and her suitors were not rejected by the outside world. Even Catherine hated hostility only because the other party brought war and disaster.

Therefore, there were not only men and women dancing on the dance floor, but also men and women in various combinations. He Yu and Jiang Jiang were mixed in, not conspicuous.

When jumping to one of the spinning movements, He Yu's gaze flicked from a certain direction, her eyes suddenly widened in surprise, and she even forgot the dance moves, "Damn, what is that?!"

"What?" Jiang Jiang followed and looked back, then also froze.

There, Angela and Catherine are embracing and dancing.

Seen from this direction of the two, Angela and Catherine are very close, their bodies are close to each other, and they whisper a few words from time to time, which seems very intimate.

But in fact, Catherine is suffering unspeakably at the moment.

She didn't know why Angela was going crazy, instead of dancing with her suitors, she invited them to dance together in front of everyone.In full view, even though she didn't like her, Catherine couldn't refuse.

After entering the dance floor, Angela was also very affectionate, asking her about her experiences during this period from time to time, especially showing great interest in Blood Moon Forest.

Catherine was very vigilant in her heart. She always felt that Angela was trying to get some news out of her mouth, so she kept prevaricating. However, Angela didn't seem to have any intention of retreating. Girl, keep asking questions.

What was even more frightening was that for several moments, Catherine felt that she had let go of her guard against Angela, and was about to tell the whole story about her experience in the Blood Moon Forest.It's just that there seems to be some kind of restriction in her brain, which prevents her from saying anything related to the Blood Moon Forest, and also helps her wake up from the confused state.

This change made Catherine's temporary goal of Angela not herself, and the only accident she encountered in the Blood Moon Forest was He Yu.

What Angela was trying to spy on was the existence of a god!

Catherine always felt that there should be some kind of problem with the other party. After all, she shouldn't have attracted so many people, whether it was beauty or strength.Now that she has personally experienced this state of being seduced, she affirms her guess even more.Fortunately, since he was able to get rid of the confusion, it meant that the realm of God was not yet within Angela's reach.

"Rand... Oh no, He Yu is here!" Catherine recited softly.

The voice like a whisper was covered by the loud music and conversation on the dance floor. Angela on the opposite side didn't hear it, so she couldn't help asking loudly, "What did you say?"

On the other hand, He Yu, who was on the edge of the dance floor, received the message from Catherine because her name was called.

Catherine thought Angela was looking for her, but He Yu knew otherwise.

There is only one real god in the Blood Moon Forest, and that is Jiang Jiang.And she does have many enemies who are always paying attention to the Blood Moon Forest. Although converting into the goddess of life can avoid detection, it is not absolute.Perhaps, a certain existence noticed the changes in the Blood Moon Forest, so it used Angela to test it out.

If so, that raises several questions.

First, it can be confirmed that there is indeed an existence standing behind Angela, and it existed long before the accident in the Blood Moon Forest.In other words, her original goal was not Jiang Jiang, so what could it be?

Second, among her suitors are even the priests of the temple. Even Catherine can get rid of that kind of confusion. It makes no sense that the priests of the temple can't. Why didn't the major temples find any abnormalities at all?

Is it because the existence behind her is powerful, covering up this abnormal existence, or is the existence behind her related to several great temples, or even those gods?

This guess made He Yu get goosebumps all over.

If her guess is correct, that is to say, it is very likely that a certain mysterious existence, possibly one or more gods, is brewing some kind of conspiracy through Angela, which is very likely to affect the whole world. .

At the same time, they were still paying attention to Jiang Jiang, and even sent Angela to the Principality of Morris after noticing the changes in the Blood Moon Forest.

Either they thought Jiang Jiang deserved more attention than the plot, or the plot had nothing to do with Jiang Jiang at all.

At this time, the dance music had come to an end, and the music gradually died down. Catherine, who had been coping very hard, left and retreated from Angela, but at this time she received a message from He Yu, "Try to find out where Morris is from." Whose idea was it?"

Catherine looked back at Angela who was walking in another direction, patted her chest with lingering fear, and decided to find another breakthrough and never approach Angela again.

Fortunately, these people set off from the Kingdom of Felt. Except for the personal servants and bodyguards, most of the entourage were from the Kingdom of Felt. It was not difficult for Catherine to inquire about the news.So before the banquet was over, she had already got the answer.

"Come to Morris City is not what my two brothers and sisters mean, but Angela's suggestion." Taking a chance, Catherine came to He Yu's side and told the news.

He Yu had already guessed something, so it was not surprising to get this answer.

"Catherine." He Yu had a serious expression, raised a hand to put on Catherine's shoulder, and said in a very solemn tone, "I know you don't like Angela very much, but in the future, I'm afraid you need to get in touch with her more. okay."

"……why?"

"If Angela is willing to help you, then you will inherit Morris' Dukedom more smoothly." He Yu said.

"I believe that I can withstand all kinds of tests." Catherine was dying. "With your help, even if I compete fairly with my brothers and sisters, I will not lose."

"Don't forget the wish you made, your goal is not just to become a duke." He Yu said, "And you have to admit that Angela has the ability to stir up the world now. Getting her help is only good for you. "

"But as soon as I see her, I will be vigilant and disgusted, and I can't control it at all. Even if I want to get close to her, she won't accept it." Catherine said again.

He Yu smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Angela won't care about this, because you are also the target she wants to get close to."

These words made Catherine shudder severely, and she was a little dazed throughout the whole party.Fortunately, it was getting late, and the banquet soon came to an end. The invited guests went home in a carriage, while the others went back to their houses to rest.

Catherine was stopped on the stairs on the way back to the room.

The light blue light of the magic lamp shone on the entire staircase, and the face of Her Royal Highness was reflected by the light, revealing a kind of eerie temperament. She stood on the stairs and looked down at Catherine, "Don't think You can take Angela away!"

Catherine: "..."

However, she soon discovered that this was just the beginning.

Next, everything was just as He Yu predicted, Angela kept looking for opportunities to get close to her, this approach also caused great dissatisfaction among Angela's suitors.They couldn't show this attitude towards Angela, so they could only vent their anger on Catherine.

Someone provoked her with words, someone wanted to ask her to a duel, and someone manipulated her clothing and diet, trying to make her look ugly in public...

Catherine deeply reviewed her previous mistakes. How could she think that getting close to Angela would be easier than going through various tests?It's clearly hell-level difficulty, okay?

But the losses have already been eaten, and Catherine would not be happy to ask her to change course now.She even felt a bit of indescribable joy from this continuous provocation.These people chased Angela like crazy, causing the whole continent to be in a mess, and now it just made them feel a little bit of pain.

After changing her mentality, Catherine regarded Angela as a middleman who taught others a lesson, and gradually grasped the way to get along with her.

At the same time, the matter of the duke's successor was also on the agenda.

Although most of the guests residing in the castle today come uninvited, each of them has a distinguished status, so they will naturally be invited to be witnesses on this matter.The Principality of Morris will have to deal with various forces in the future. Only when everyone agrees can the duke be worthy of its name.

And Catherine's "bear the burden of humiliation" during this period is meaningful.Angela took the initiative to express her support for her, and even if the others were reluctant, no one would object.Even the prince and the eldest princess took the initiative to say that they only came here this time to watch the ceremony, and they didn't mean to compete for the duke.

With the support of everyone, Catherine succeeded as duke.

And the first thing she has to do is to send all the "guests" out of the country.
