About the fact that I am from the dark continent

As night fell, the sky was suddenly stained with black.

Various vehicles were parked in front of Akeley's mansion, and people in suits and dresses were coming and going. The scene was once very lively, and the noise of people could be heard from the streets not far away.

"Please show your invitation letter."

The bodyguard at the door stretched out his hand and stopped the knights and the others.

"Give."

Xia Ke changed out of his usual lavender clothes today and put on a black formal suit. The bangs in front of his forehead were lifted up and fixed on his head with hairspray. He obviously became more mature.

A snow-white card with the Akeley family logo printed on it, the bodyguard gently raised his eyes, and when he accepted the invitation, a flash of silver suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

It was a girl in a wine-red dress, with a white gloved hand resting on the knight's arm, her eyelids drooping slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering up and down like the wings of a butterfly , The delicately crafted dolls in the store can't help but want people to look at them more.

"Can we go in, please?"

The chivalrous voice brought the bodyguard back to his senses, as if warning, the blond-haired boy smiled and took another step forward, completely blocking Lily's figure behind him.

For some reason, the bodyguard suddenly felt the coolness coming from behind, and he couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of water with a rapid heartbeat, "Ahem, cough, sorry, please come in."

The decoration inside is much more gorgeous than the one outside, and the golden light is very eye-catching. Lily walked slowly holding the hand of the knight. Soon after, the girl raised her head and asked: "We won't wait for Ma Is Qi really okay?"

"Don't worry, it's fine."

The knight answered quickly, one of his hands covered the back of Lily's arm holding her, and a smile spread across his face: "I've already arranged for her dance partner, although the other party is not very good in the upper class, But he is still the son of a rich family.”

This popular type is the one that is best controlled. The little devil's phone can be directly set to automatic mode. If Ma Qi is around to cover, nothing will be exposed until the end of the dance.

But more important than this is——

He finally had some alone time with Lily again.

Every time he thinks of this, the smile on the corner of the knight's mouth can't help but deepen a lot.

"What's the matter, you've been staring at me." Noticing the other's fiery gaze, Lily just tilted her head in doubt: "Is there something on my face?"

"No, nothing."

"I just wanted to ask—"

The golden fox has extremely bright green pupils, which are full of cunning.

"May I invite this lovely lady to a dance?"

The waltz music rang in the ears, and the shadows of people danced on the dance floor in the hall, dancing with the beautiful music, where the movements of the violin and cello overlapped.

Lily just raised her eyes, a little embarrassed: "But I can't dance."

"It's ok."

The knight just pulled her with one hand, and the pulling force completely pulled Lily into the dance floor. He was still laughing, and it could be seen that he was in a very happy mood now: "I will cooperate with Lily's dance steps, don't worry give it to me."

One step, two steps, and a spin.

As Xia Ke said, he is indeed cooperating with her very well, just like playing games together before, there seems to be an inexplicable tacit understanding between the two, and there are very few mistakes.

Lily blinked her eyes and said, "The knight is so powerful, I feel like you know everything."

"I just studied it beforehand." The knight replied with his eyes bent: "Lily is the one who is amazing. She has never been exposed to similar things, but she can master them so quickly. This level of progress can already be said to be terrifying. To an extent."

"That's because the target is a knight."

"Hey?"

The silver-white hair danced with the dance movements, and from time to time, it brushed the fingertips of the knight, making him feel itchy.

"Because I'm a chivalrous man, I can improve so fast. It would be absolutely impossible for me to be someone else."

The girl's voice was soft, like a star falling into the water, causing ripples on the surface of the heart lake, and the beautiful smile like a flower was directly reflected in the eyes of the knight, making him slightly stunned for a moment live.

Because it is him.

Just because it's him.

The nectar overflowed from the chest, it was a sweet, light feeling that the knight had not felt for a long time.

"It's really a cunning answer."

His fingertips trembled slightly, and the young man lowered his eyelids, his green pupils unconsciously being filled with the girl's silver-white figure, as if he could no longer reflect other things around him, and was only intoxicated by it.

He confided softly, as if talking to himself: "Too cunning... makes me want to take you as my own."

The sound of the music continued, and the people on the dance floor were still dancing gracefully, one song after another. The hall was filled with the laughter of the upper-class people, and the scene was harmonious.

"Hero, what's wrong?"

Seemingly noticing the knight's ecstasy, Lily asked with some doubts.

"Well...it's nothing important." The knight's voice paused, and then he turned his gaze back to Lily, "It's just that a troublesome guy is here."

Lily didn't understand what the knight was talking about, "Huh? Troubled guy?"

It was a pink-haired girl in a beautiful dress. She and her partner were walking on the dance floor, staring at him with cold eyes. If eyes can really kill people, the knight is probably already killed by thousands of knives. cut.

"Ah, it's March."

Following the knight's gaze, Lily spotted her right away.

"It turns out that she has arrived, but her expression looks...very bad? Are you angry?"

"Well, it looks super angry."

The knight blinked innocently, pretending to be ignorant: "Lily, let's stay away from her, it's probably some blind person who provoked her, it's really scary."

"But..."

Lily hadn't finished her sentence when she was suddenly overwhelmed by the sudden variation of the music, causing her to raise her head involuntarily.

The scene changed quickly, and people were moving their positions in different directions. When Lily came to her senses, the dance partner hugging her waist had turned into Madge at some point.

The pink-haired girl's complexion looked very bad: "That bastard didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"Sure enough, you can't trust him so easily."

I took Lily to the prom, and specially arranged a so-called dance partner to hold her back. It is not surprising that a knight would do this kind of thing, Madge. After getting along for so many years, that cunning fox-like boy always uses Using various methods to distract others, I enjoy the time with Lily—today is no exception.

Lily's emphasis is obviously different from that of Ma Qi, and she was a little surprised and said: "So Ma Qi can dance men's dance steps?"

And Ma Qi just paused, and then quickly looked away: "It's just a casual practice before."

The dance of this song didn't last long. When the protagonist of the dance - rich man Akley appeared, the scene suddenly became silent. The round and bloated man was wearing black leather shoes and facing the front direction Stepping forward, he was standing at the height of the stairs covered with red carpets, and he was able to raise his head and watch everything below.

"I'm so glad you all came to my dance."

"You don't have to feel any restraint, please let go and enjoy it boldly!"

It was simple and short, as soon as the man's voice fell, there were bursts of applause immediately under the steps.

"It seems that the custodian did not show up today."

Among the noisy crowd, the knight's voice suddenly drifted past her ears. Lily just turned her head slightly, and found that the other party had inserted between her and Ma Qi at some point, completely separating them.

Ma Qi was naturally very dissatisfied with the 'inadvertent' behavior of the knight, but the task is still the first, so he just gave her a look and warned: "Today's affairs will be settled with you after the task is over."

The knight just smiled and didn't take it seriously: "I don't care."

The three began to search for information separately, but even though they said so, Lily was obviously paddling. Compared with boring things like collecting information, the delicacies on the table at the dance party attracted her more.

[Host, please pay attention. 】

[Ba Dike's chairman, Ba Dike, also came to this ball. 】

"Really? Did he accept the invitation too?"

Lily replied, and then picked up the neat snow-white plates on the table.

[You can also say that. 】

The system's voice paused.

【He came here to kill Brigade No. [-]. 】

After being reminded by the system like this, Lily remembered.

Five years after I came here, didn't I just wonder how I was killed?

Lily thought like this, then turned her head, and as expected, she met the eyes that were observing her, making Shiba, who was pretending to be a guest, pause slightly, and subconsciously shifted her gaze away. open.

"No wonder you kept watching me when you entered the arena."

Lily lowered her head and thought for a while, then retracted her gaze, and turned her body sideways, "But it's not easy to attack directly in such a crowded place, right? You have to create opportunities for him."
