"Oh, look, look! Isn't this Mr. Viscount Cliff? I didn't expect you to be interested in my banquet. I thought a busy man like you wouldn't be interested in my small, simple magic show!"

Baron Felicis joked to a tall, strong-looking middle-aged man.

Facing Baron Felicis's joke, the sturdy Viscount Cliff glanced at Baron Felicis lightly, with a hint of contempt and disgust in his eyes.

It seems that he doesn't like Felicis, the baron who was bought with money.

"My father asked me to see the world. After all, I have been staying in the institute and I don't know that the outside world has changed so much."

Viscount Cliff said indifferently.

"Oh, then you have to experience the changes in the world."

Baron Felicis squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

"Yes, I heard that something interesting happened in Xumi. A sand fox actually killed a ferocious long-maned tiger. Isn't this outrageous?"

Viscount Cliff asked back.

"Ahahahaha, indeed, indeed. This is really interesting."

Baron Felicis nodded in response.

"Well, I'll go in first, you can take your time to receive the guests."

Viscount Cliff suddenly lost interest. He waved his hand and walked into the door without giving Baron Felicis a chance to reply.

Baron Felicis watched Viscount Cliff go with a sinister look in his eyes.

Damn Viscount, don't think I didn't hear you hinting at me! Wait, I will climb to a higher position sooner or later and then step on your head!

Baron Felicis quickly adjusted his expression and continued to greet the guests with a smile.

Nobles came one after another to keep the appointment. Seeing that these people were of higher status than himself, Baron Felicis's smile became more exaggerated. He seemed to be grinning from ear to ear.

Not long after, Felicis saw a northern-style carriage parked in front of the guild hall.

The door opened, and a tall woman in a black deep V dress walked down with elegant steps.

The woman had white hair on the outside and black hair on the inside. Her fingernails were very long and sharp. Her black and red eyes were full of contempt and arrogance. Her upturned mouth corners were a false smile. Her smile was just out of courtesy. In fact, she didn't care about anything in this manor.

Alechino, a diplomat of the winter, an executive of the Fatui [servant], was rumored to be a madman who [killed his mother] and usurped the throne, but recently became a regular customer of the Momang Palace, a favorite of the water goddess Lady Funina, and had a good friendship with the god of Fontaine.

This is Alechino in the eyes of the nobles of Fontaine.

As a diplomat, Arlecino's identity was embarrassing and insignificant in the Fontaine noble circle, but this winter diplomat was on good terms with their water god, which forced these nobles to pay attention to Arlecino.

Guessing the gods' thoughts was what these nobles loved most.

Because once they guessed correctly, they could take advantage of the gods' favor to please them and seek more power and wealth for themselves.

Arlecino caused a commotion as soon as she appeared.

"Is it her? Is it really her?"

"Felicis actually invited her here. I thought it was just a lie..."

"This woman is really a top-notch one! What a pity... She is a rose with thorns, and the thorns are poisonous. If you touch her, you will die."

"Although beauty is good, you have to live to enjoy it. We should stay away from her. She is too dangerous. Contacting her is like seeking the skin of a tiger."

The discussion of the nobles on Alecino was undoubtedly negative. Although they were curious about how Alecino was appreciated by the Lord of Water, they were afraid of Alecino's reputation.

Alecino took the reactions of these nobles into consideration and was very satisfied with the effect.

It was worth her efforts to add fuel to the fire. Her personality was completely established.

Alecino observed the performance of these nobles and was planning which nobles she could cooperate with.

Alecino had already given up on infiltrating the Momang Palace.

The censorship of the Court of Law and the Court of Shadows was too strict. Although some corrupt officials appeared in the upper echelons, a trend of self-governance was gradually forming in the middle and lower echelons.

The Supreme Judge, Navilette, was in charge of the two violent institutions, and he himself was a symbol of Fontaine law and fairness.

Alechino tried to reach into the Court of Law and the Court of Shadows, but before she could make any move, her people were immediately cleared out.

Seeing that there was no hope of infiltrating the Momang Palace, Alechino set her sights on these corrupt and incompetent nobles. For these old nobles, as long as they could maintain their status and power, they didn't care about cooperation at all.’s target is a demon.

After a quick look at these nobles, Alecino quickly locked on several target candidates.

At the same time, Alecino did not waste time, she walked to the door while observing.

As soon as Baron Felicis saw Alecino, he immediately came up flatteringly.

“Oh! Oh! Rare guest! Rare guest! This is a huge surprise! I was just trying it out, but I didn’t expect that the famous winter diplomat Ms. Alecino would really come to my small manor!”

“I am really honored! Come on, Ms. Alecino, please come in, please feel free!”

Baron Felicis laughed, and he quickly invited Alecino to enter the guild hall.

Alecino did not refuse, she nodded.

"It is an honor to receive your invitation, Baron Felicis. I hope you will restore the honor of your ancestors as soon as possible."

Alechino said calmly, and then she walked into the guild hall under Felicis' eager eyes.

Felicis was surprised by the arrival of Alechino. After all, he was just inviting her politely, but he didn't expect that the diplomat of Zhidong would really come.

However, Alechino is now a hot potato, and her arrival is both beneficial and harmful.

However, before Baron Felicis could think deeply, a big man he had been waiting for for a long time finally came.

Duke Manslet!

This is a man who is already in his fifties. He has sharp eyes, and the luxurious and loose dress can't hide his strong muscles.

Why are the old nobles of Fontaine all muscular old men?

Baron Felicis greeted him eagerly.

Duke Manslet also greeted him enthusiastically.

The two exchanged a few simple polite words, and then Manslet's eyes changed, and he listened to Baron Felicis's words with a little amusement.

"Mr. Duke, I heard that you like kittens very much, so I specially prepared a cute and unique kitten to accompany you. I hope Mr. Duke can help me take care of this kitten. I can't leave for the time being."

"Oh, that's your daughter..."

Manslet's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I believe Mr. Duke Manslet."

Baron Felicis had a meaningful smile on his face.

"Well, who told me that I can't stand the loneliness of small animals the most?"

The old duke felt a little expectant.
