Chapter 784: His Majesty's Private Affairs
"It's you, the purpose of coming to this banquet is not pure, right?"
Louise stared at Triss' calm face with great interest, and guessed with a smile:
"Perhaps, you've already regretted it now, because you couldn't have expected that His Majesty the Emperor would appear at an ordinary dinner party. This completely ruined your original plan, am I right?"
Triss remained silent, because Louise basically guessed it right. If it hadn't been for a long time since they had seen each other, she even felt that she and Louise were still in the cooperative relationship at that time.
"You said you received an invitation from the host of the banquet. Could it be that King George III invited you to the dinner?" She thought about it, and retorted unwillingly.
Louise shook her head slightly amused, lightly touched the wine glass with Triss, and said:
"We are not enemies, we were not before, and we are certainly not now."
Taking a deep look at the familiar "witch" on the opposite side, Triss took a sip of wine and felt much more at ease, then asked softly:
"Have you been promoted to demigod?"
Louise asked in surprise, "Can you see that?"
Who knows, Triss shook her head and replied: "It is precisely because I can't see it that I guess that you have become a demigod."
That's right! Louise nodded in satisfaction. With her current "equipment" and "personality", even if Triss is Chick's descendant vessel, she cannot have any advantage.
"I was lucky enough to obtain divinity, but I also paid a lot for it." She responded simply.
Later, Louise went on to say: "Are you avenging Prince Edsac? Even willing to sacrifice yourself to Chick?"
Triss raised her head suddenly, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and her body tensed up. She asked in a cold voice:
"how do you know?"
Since Louise dared to directly point out everything, she naturally expected Triss's reaction. She smiled and comforted:
"Don't be nervous, I, like you, am the number one target within the sect."
"However, I have a good relationship with some members of the sect, so I can get some news in time, which of course includes your information."
Triss was still a little uneasy, she asked:
"what is your purpose?"
Louise maintained a kind smile and explained softly:
"I didn't even expect to meet you unexpectedly today, so what ulterior purpose could I have?"
While Triss was meditating, Louise continued to smile and said:
"Not only do I have no malice towards you, but maybe I can give you a gift."
"What gift?" Triss asked with a frown.
Louise smiled mysteriously, moved closer and said:
"Do you remember that ring?"
The memories buried in the bottom of my heart suddenly surfaced in my heart, Triss's face darkened slightly, and she quickly regained her composure and said:
"That ring is still in your hand?"
"No, that ring has been destroyed." Louise flatly denied, but then she immediately said in a seductive tone: "I'm referring to another ring, which also comes from the sect and is also related to Chick. related."
Triss's eyes froze for a moment, and she said doubtfully:
"You gave yourself to Chick too?"
He really wants me to do that, but there are more people who don't want to see that scene. Louise secretly cursed in her heart, and then said aloud:
"The ring is a trophy. Unfortunately, it is of little use to me, but it can help you get rid of the sect's tracking."
Triss was silent for a moment, obviously still a little skeptical, and said stubbornly:
"I can also not be discovered by people from the sect now."
Even though it has become a vessel of the gods, its ignorance in certain aspects cannot be avoided. This is where Triss's greatest tragedy lies.
"The people who are following you now are nothing more than some middle- and low-level members of the sect, but what if a demigod makes a move one day? What if a higher-level existence makes a move?"
Louise expressed it very clearly, but at the same time she was not too merciless:
"You feel that you are fighting for your own goals, but do you know that the freedom at this time does not come from your struggle, but because of ignorance within the sect and higher-level games."
Triss was taken aback by what was said, and suddenly felt a little confused. She raised her eyes slightly divergently, and asked with a frown:
"Then what is your identity? A player in the game, or a pawn like me?"
"Is this important?" Louise smiled back and asked, "If I want, I can expose your identity directly, and the Extraordinary in the banquet can subdue you in an instant."
Before Triss eagerly opened her mouth to refute, Louise went on to say:
"As I said just now, I received an invitation from the host of the banquet. I can also tell you that I am now a devout follower of the 'Evernight Goddess', the kind who can easily meet the Archbishop."
Hearing this, Triss became more and more confused, and she found that she subconsciously believed what Louise said!
"Will the 'Evernight Sect' actually take in the 'Witch'?" She murmured softly in disbelief.
Louise really wanted to say, "Witch" is not important, but me!
Giving Triss some time to react, she turned around and took two steps back, standing on the same level as her, and said softly:
"After the banquet is over, you can choose whether to come to see me or not. I will hand over the ring to you, because I really hope to see you give Chick some trouble."
Her eyes quickly recovered, and she glanced sideways at Louise, who was relaxed and confident. Triss did not continue to communicate, because George III had already stood in the center of the banquet hall, and seemed to have something to say.
At this time, George III had a smile on his face, and there was only a young man standing beside him.
"Who is that person next to him?" Louise asked softly.
Triss replied calmly: "The eldest son of George III, His Majesty the future emperor."
Louise said "oh" in her heart, it turned out to be the prince, no wonder she looks a bit like George III, she suddenly thought of an interesting thing, if George III succeeds in being promoted to "Dark Emperor", then how can the prince I don't want to be a prince for the rest of my life!
The corners of her mouth were controlled so that they did not twitch upwards. Louise, like the people around her, looked at the emperor and prince in the center, and made an appearance of listening carefully.
George III seemed to be in a good mood. He talked about Loen's recent changes and developments, and also praised certain high-ranking and close ministers, but these were obviously just a cover. one thing:
"His Royal Highness is going to choose his princess!"
It turned out that this was a private matter that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to announce. The nobles at the banquet had different expressions, but they quickly applauded warmly in tacit understanding, and all the free praise fell on the smiling Majesty the Emperor.
In the corner, Louise and Triss looked at each other, their eyes full of weirdness.
