Chapter 309 What Ability

As expected, most of the dinner guests were male, and most of them were wearing military uniforms, which made the atmosphere of the whole banquet a bit more serious.

"That's why I don't like to attend this kind of banquets. They always remind me of the unpleasant past." Ke Liya said softly.

"The past is the past, why don't you forget it?" Louise responded softly: "The new life will always be more interesting and exciting than the past, don't you feel it?"

Kelia nodded in agreement, her warm gaze mostly resting on Louise.

Louise's eyes, on the other hand, wandered among the crowd quite covertly, as if a hunter was looking for her prey.

However, the "prey" hadn't shown up yet, but unexpectedly found a familiar face. After thinking about it, it was normal for him to appear at this dinner party.

A school-level officer of MI9, a descendant of nobles serving His Majesty the King, a devout follower of the Lord of Storms, and a secret contact with the "Witch Sect", Osman.

He was keenly aware of the source of his line of sight, and soon spotted Louise's figure, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his expression was full of surprise.

Osman said something to the people around him, then turned around and walked this way, surprised:

"I didn't expect that you would come to the banquet tonight."

Afterwards, he turned his eyes to Kolia who was beside Louise, became a little puzzled, and said in greeting:

"Welcome, Mrs. Kolia."

"Thank you." Ke Liya saluted lightly, and she was also curious in her heart, why did Louise and Osman, a young and promising officer, seem very familiar?

Louise smiled lightly and said, "Maybe it's a special fate."

"We haven't seen each other for a long time since the last dance."

The pun not only answered Osman's question, but also relieved Ke Liya's doubts. Both of them showed kind smiles.

"I don't know if I'm lucky enough to buy you a drink again?" Osman bowed and invited.

Louise first turned her head and gave Kolia a comforting look before responding:

"why not?"

Afterwards, the two walked into the crowd of the banquet together, gradually leaving Ke Liya's sight.

After the last farewell, Osman conducted a more in-depth investigation on Louise, and learned that the process of Major General Bright's death was the same as the "witch" in front of him who suffered the attack of the "wraith" ...But why does Louise seem to have a close relationship with Major General Brett's wife?

"You and Mrs. Kolia..." He raised his glass as a gesture, as if he was just asking curiously.

Louise was very frank. She took a sip of red wine and replied with a smile:

"We are very good friends. We have nothing to do today, so we come here to join in the fun."

At most, listen to half of what the "witch" said, and believe half of it... Osman didn't comment on this, and didn't continue to ask, but instead said:

"I originally planned to invite you to attend today's dinner together, but I only considered that you should be completing the task assigned by the 'Madam Despair', so I didn't cause you any trouble. Who knew that we unexpectedly met here!"

Louise glanced at him, then turned her gaze to other positions inadvertently, and said easily:

"The cooperation is very smooth, and Mr. A is very cooperative."

Cooperating until I was directly "recommended" to Ouroreus, the next step is to sacrifice me to the "True Creator"... She cursed in her heart.

Osman was thoughtful, and he commented:

"This shows that your ability is more powerful than I imagined."

Louise laughed twice, looked away from the door, raised her wine glass, her red lips were imprinted on it, leaving a slight trace, then she raised her eyebrows, looked into Osman's eyes, charming voice asked:

"Which ability?"

…………

Here comes the central figure of tonight's banquet, Duke Negan.

As one of the most representative figures of nobility in the Kingdom of Loen, he was a handsome boy when he was young, but his edges and hairline had been smoothed by the years.

Of course, the rich experience also filled his stomach, and his waist was obviously bloated, which made the well-fitting military uniform more "fit".

Duke Negan was followed by two men. Among them, the older middle-aged man was expressionless, with brown hair and blue eyes. This was a remedy after being assassinated by Qilingos last time, and was offered by the "Church of Storms" "Father of the Wind", acting as a guard.

The other is Duke Negan's secretary.

He is a thin, blond young man with delicate features, he looks refined, calm and introverted. His biggest feature is that his hairline has receded beyond his age, even more serious than Duke Negan.

Duke Negan strode forward, full of energy, and chatted cordially with many guests.

The "Wind Blessed One" guard who followed behind him stayed close at every step, like a shadow.

The young secretary, on the other hand, seemed more casual. He quickly brought everyone present into sight, naturally including Louise and Osman.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Louise always felt that the secretary's eyes paused on her body for half a second...Of course, this may be his observation habit, so it's not surprising.

"That is Duke Negan, the prime minister's elder brother, and one of His Majesty's most trusted nobles." Osman said with a calm face, looking at the banquet center, which was like a scene of stars surrounding the moon.

Hehe, if George III really trusted Duke Negan, the "Twilight Hermit" would not repeatedly assassinate him... Louise simply said "hmm" and didn't respond much.

Suddenly, she asked, "Is the person chatting with Duke Negan now your father, Count Wolfe?"

Osman nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

Under the gaze of the two, the blond secretary said something in Duke Negan's ear, and the two important figures in Loen's country all turned their eyes to the direction of Louise.

Under Earl Wolf's gesture, Osman leaned over, and Louise was no exception.

"Oh, my little Osman is already a lieutenant colonel, doing a great job!"

Duke Negan praised, showing a hearty smile, looking very sincere.

"Swear allegiance to His Majesty the King to the death." Osman stood at attention and saluted respectfully.

"Good job!" Duke Negan's smile became brighter, and he reached out and patted Osman on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Afterwards, he looked at Louise with great interest, slightly surprised by her charm, and joked with a light smile:

"Little Osman, aren't you going to introduce me to this beautiful lady beside you?"
