Claire has been keeping in touch with Kasidov through letters in the past few days, mainly to understand Aloy's physical condition - he is not in any condition, and the medicine has not had even the slightest effect because of waiting a few more days.

In fact, Claire would like to receive a personal letter from the little pet, but the little pet cannot write...

After reading the letter, Claire had to give up taking medicine and started thinking about other possibilities.

Not to mention, after he searched his mind and checked all the "background knowledge" in his mind, he actually found a useful magic plant. This kind of magic plant grows on the sacred mountain of the orcs in the North. Its name comes from the ancient orc language, and it is called Yinwalukuruita, which is very difficult to pronounce.

Yinwalukuruita looks a bit like the snow lotus in China. It is said that it was transformed by the power of the beast god. It is even rarer than the wild snow lotus. It can be said that even the orcs, most of them have never seen this kind of snow lotus in their lives. Plant magic plants. If you want to get it, you may have to go to the Holy Mountain to search for it in person, and the time required is uncertain.

Claire put this matter on her agenda and planned to leave for the Northland in a few days.

When the sun went down, the dance was held as scheduled. Claire was actually not too interested in this activity. He had already seen it once in Rouen and thought it was just that. In comparison, he wanted to stay at home with her. Small pets.

The ball was held to celebrate the Queen's birthday. No matter in terms of scale, number of participants, or level of luxury, it was far from comparable to the one in Rouen, which meant that Aloy could not be taken there.

There will be many nobles and professionals going there, some of them are saints, and no one without status will be allowed to enter. And from the organizer's point of view, the queen would not welcome a dark elf to celebrate her birthday.

"Hey, Claire, come here!" As soon as Claire stepped into the venue, she was spotted by the sharp king and waved to him.

"Your Majesty." Claire walked over and bowed.

The king raised his hand to signal him to excuse himself, and said half-jokingly: "You are finally here. I thought Luo Laine locked you in the office, haha!"

There were many people around the king, including the object of ridicule, Luo Laine. He argued rationally: "Your Majesty, you can't always indulge Claire. If you continue like this, he will only become more lazy!"

But the king suddenly put on a serious face and said sternly: "Loraine, there are some things that cannot be explained clearly. You will understand when you get to Claire's position."

"What?" Luo Laian was stunned, thinking that something "secret" that he didn't know happened, and hurriedly apologized: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm very sorry, I..."

Unexpectedly, the king's next sentence became more serious: "When your face looks like Claire, I will indulge you in this way, hahaha!"

After hearing this, the others all burst out laughing. Luo Laian realized that he had been tricked. His face turned red with anger and his cheeks bulged up, like a round rubber ball.

Claire suppressed a smile, as the king was helping him "vent his anger" in disguise. Although Luo Laian was older than him, he always looked like a simple boy. He was often "played" by the king. He didn't have a long memory and fell into the trap every time.

Not long after, a young woman in gorgeous clothes walked over. Her temperament was noble and elegant, like a graceful orchid.

"Dolores," the king called her name and came forward, took her hand, and placed a soft kiss on the back of her lace-gloved hand, "Happy birthday to you."

People nearby, including Claire, also bent down and congratulated: "Your Majesty the Queen, I wish you a happy birthday."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The queen showed a reserved smile, "And all your excellencies, thank you for coming to tonight's ball."

The arrival of the Queen brought the ball to a climax. Under the leadership of the king and queen, everyone came out to dance. Even Luo Laian was half invited and half forced to be taken away by the enthusiastic ladies. Claire finally felt quiet and found a secret place to sit by the window. , looking forward to the dance ending soon so that he can go back to see the little pet.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and he was eventually "discovered". This time it was the two princesses who arrived.

The king and queen have three children in total. The youngest is Princess Elisa, whom Claire met before. She usually goes to school in the academy. During this time, she can stay in the palace during the holidays.

As for the eldest prince Arthur and the second princess Tracy, they are twins, both swordsmen, but with completely different personalities.

The second princess has a bold personality and is more of an adventurer than a princess, while the eldest prince is the complete opposite. He is as quiet as a girl raised in a boudoir. This gives the king a headache and sends him to the west of the empire for training and resistance. A small-scale beast attack occurs every few years, and even the mother's birthday party was not able to come back.

"Your Highness Tracy, Your Highness Eliza." Claire stood up when she saw the two girls coming over.

"Hello, Sir Lethgcott." Tracy spoke first, "Why are you here alone?"

"I'm a little tired." Claire made a casual excuse.

"Ah, what a pity, I originally wanted to invite you to dance." Tracy said with some disappointment.

Claire showed a slightly apologetic smile and stepped forward to help the two princesses pull out their chairs. At the same time, she was very glad that the excuse she just made was that she was tired, so she didn't have to dance.

"Mr. Lethgcott, you have been gone for so long this time. Elisa and I miss you very much." Tracy said and glanced at her sister. Elisa blushed slightly and lowered her head. .

Claire smiled and said nothing. After all, he was not from here, so he couldn't express his love for the two young girls. Moreover, he had just met the two princesses.

"Father, it's true that he always troubles you like this." Tracy continued, with a hint of complaint in her tone.

"Your Highness, this is what I should do." Now Claire had to reply. The king was really not to blame for this matter. The king was powerless to deal with the demons and could only rely on himself.

"You don't need to speak for my father, I know everything." Tracey obviously misunderstood. She turned her head and glanced at the king and queen who were dancing on the dance floor, and shrugged helplessly: "Father is always like this, thank you for your hard work. ”

Logically speaking, such an action should not appear on a princess, but she just did it, and she looked very cute and cute.

It was difficult for Claire to explain to her about the demons, so she could only respond with a smile again. As for this blame...it seemed that the king could only bear the blame.

Tracy also laughed, and Elisa, who had been silent the whole time, asked, "Sir Lethgcott, are you going out again recently?"

"Yes, I should be leaving the Imperial Capital in a few days." Claire answered truthfully. Not only was he going to hunt down the demons, but he was also going to the North to find the magic plant for Aloy.

In order to prevent "this account" from being blamed on the king, he added: "It is my own private matter."

After hearing this, the two princesses showed regretful expressions. Tracy looked at her sister who kept her head lowered and said, "That's really unlucky. It's rare for Eliza to come back from the academy. She really wants to discuss it with you." What about magic-related knowledge?”

Before Claire could answer, she rolled her eyes and said: "I wonder if you are free now. Can you please help Eliza answer her questions? Don't worry, it's just a small question and won't take up too much of your time. of."

"Sister Tracy, don't be like this. Mr. Lethgcott just said that he was tired..." After hearing this, Elisa hurriedly held her sister's hand, but her peripheral vision kept sticking to Claire.

"Eliza, this is a rare opportunity. Haven't you always admired Lord Lethgcott?" Tracy held her hand, "You will be returning to the academy soon, Lethgcott. Your Excellency will be leaving the Imperial Capital soon, and I don’t know when we can see you next time.”

"I..." Eliza opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She really wanted to chat more with Claire.

It was obviously impolite to refuse Her Highness the Princess's "little request", so Claire said: "Your Highness Eliza, I am very willing to answer your questions."

"Great, thank you, Mr. Lethgcott." Before Eliza could say anything, Tracy said first, then she pulled up her skirt and saluted Claire, "You guys talk slowly, I Went dancing.”

Tracy left just like that. There was no one else around. Elisa looked a little embarrassed and her face turned redder. She whispered: "I'm sorry, Sir Lethgcott, my sister has caused trouble for you..."

Eliza has made it so obvious that it is impossible for Claire not to see her feelings for him, but since the other party has not made it clear, he cannot refuse openly. He can only stick to the etiquette, neither being close nor being deliberate. Alienation.

After he solved the "little doubt" for Eliza, he politely left without talking much.

........................

After the ball, Tracy walked into the king's study. The king was standing by the window without using a lighting crystal ball. The silvery moonlight shone down, illuminating his expressionless face.

Tracy was a little uneasy and asked cautiously: "Father, it's so late, what do you want to see me for?"

"Tracy, you are my sister, I thought you would be more mature." The king turned to look at her, with disappointment in his tone.

Tracy was startled. Her father had never spoken to her like this before. She asked anxiously: "Father, what do you mean?"

"Tracy, you know what you did." The king's expression became serious, "You shouldn't have encouraged your sister to find him."

The word "encourage" was used quite strongly. Tracy felt humiliated and blushed. But at the same time, she also felt very unconvinced. The previous anxiety turned into anger. She asked, "Why, father, I don't I believe you can’t tell that Eliza likes Mr. Lethgkot, why can’t he help her? Mr. Lethgkot will be a good home!”

"But Lethgkot doesn't like your sister!" The king emphasized his tone.

Tracy bit her lip. She knew she shouldn't contradict her father, but the way the other party completely ignored Eliza made her feel chilled. Moreover, she thought she was helping her sister fight for happiness!

Thinking of this, she not only did not flinch, but also raised her voice: "Father, you are always so partial, we are your biological children! What's more, no matter in terms of origin, talent, or appearance, what is Eliza's point of view? Not worthy of Your Excellency Lesigkot? As long as you grant the marriage, Your Excellency, he will not object!"
