The dining hall of Roswaal’s mansion needs no explanation; it’s simply magnificent, almost resembling a royal hall.
The rectangular table, covered with a white tablecloth, was surrounded by several seats already set with tableware, resembling a banquet table at a wedding, immaculate and bright.
Guided by Rem and Ram, Fang Li and Emilia arrived here.
Upon arriving, Fang Li saw it.
At the head of that immaculately white table, someone was already seated.
“Welcome to Roswaal’s mansion, guests from afar.”
With these words, the person dressed up like a clown smiled at Fang Li, his tone extremely comical.
The tone was highly amusing.
Looking at this person, Fang Li’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Meanwhile, the twin sisters approached and bowed to the person.
“Lord Roswaal, the guests have arrived.”
“Lord Roswaal, the guests have arrived.”
At this moment, both Rem and Ram showed no signs of their previous frivolous behavior, appearing dignified and polite.
In response, Roswaal simply waved his hand as if it were routine.
“In that case, bring out all the dishes, don’t keep our guests waiting.”
Rem and Ram immediately nodded in obedience, then slowly withdrew.
However, instead of preparing the dishes as Roswaal had said, the two of them came to stand behind Roswaal, one on each side.
Their gaze was fixed firmly on Fang Li.
Seeing this, Fang Li raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Yare Yare~~~” Roswaal said in a tone that seemed helpless yet playful, “You two are so caring, my cute servants.”
Indeed, they were overly caring.
Rem and Ram’s behavior was clearly aimed at preventing Fang Li, this dangerous character, from getting close to Roswaal.
Obviously, the safety of Roswaal was their top priority.
“Rem, Ram,” Emilia said somewhat troubled, “You don’t have to be like this; Fang Li is not a villain.”
“Regardless of whether he is a villain or not, even if he were to be attacked, I wouldn’t be powerless to fight back, right?” Roswaal said in a strange tone, smiling, “Don’t look at me like that. After all, I am a magician, you know?”
“A magician?” Fang Li suddenly spoke, looking at Roswaal, and then smiled, “It’s quite modest of the Kingdom’s strongest magician, who has been bestowed the title of ‘Court Magician’, to describe himself simply as ‘a magician,’ don’t you think?”
Indeed.
The Kingdom’s strongest magician.
In this country, there were six titles specifically given to magicians who had reached the pinnacle in each of the six attributes of magic.
When a magician reached the pinnacle in the attribute represented by one of these titles, the Kingdom would bestow upon them that title, symbolizing the pinnacle of that attribute’s magic.
And the character before them, resembling a clown, had been bestowed with three of these titles.
The title represents the pinnacle of Fire Attribute Magic – ‘Red’.
The title represents the pinnacle of Wind Attribute Magic – ‘Green’.
The title represents the pinnacle of Earth Attribute Magic – ‘Yellow’.
Roswaal had obtained these three titles, reaching the pinnacle in three different domains of magic, and achieving the highest accomplishments.
In addition to this, Roswaal himself also possesses Divine Protection.
It’s called the Divine Protection of the Mage.
With this Divine Protection, Roswaal can not only use magic from all Attributes but also excel in areas such as power and speed, possessing abilities comparable to an army. Therefore, he was granted the title of Margrave by the Kingdom, allowing him to guard the borders of the Kingdom alone.
So, Roswaal’s description of himself was indeed too modest.
To this, Roswaal responded with a clown-like smile and said, “Well, a genius like me is well-known throughout the Kingdom, so describing myself in this way is sufficient.”
“So, great magical genius, our Count Roswaal, don’t you have anything to say to me?” Fang Li said straightforwardly. “If we don’t hurry up and finish discussing what needs to be discussed, those two maids over there seem unable to relax and let us eat properly.”
“It seems you’re right,” Roswaal shrugged indifferently. “Anyway, Beatrice hasn’t arrived yet. Before that, let’s talk about something.”
Listening to Roswaal’s strange tone, Rem suddenly stepped forward.
“Lord Roswaal,” Rem said softly, “Lady Beatrice said she still doesn’t want to dine with everyone today, as usual.”
“Oh?” Roswaal was surprised. “That’s strange indeed. Although Beatrice rarely dines with us, with Pack here today, I thought she might come out.”
“No, Lady Beatrice has already said,” Rem repeated the absent girl’s words in her own tone. “Although she would like to dine with Elder Brother, there seems to be a very hateful person in the mansion today, so she’s not in the mood. Betty will be waiting for Elder Brother in the forbidden book library.”
At this point, there was no need for further guessing.
This Beatrice was the spirit girl who had called herself Betty in the forbidden book library last night.
It seemed that because of Fang Li, this spirit girl seemed to refuse to come out for dinner.
“Poor Betty,” Pack emerged from Emilia’s hair, flew up into the air, and waved to Emilia. “Since that’s the case, I’ll go to the forbidden book library to accompany Betty.”
“Okay,” Emilia said understandingly. “Give my regards to Beatrice, Pack.”
“Understood.” Pack flew out of the dining hall like this.
“Um…” Emilia then looked at Fang Li, trembling slightly, preparing to say something.
“Alright, no need to say it,” Fang Li laughed. “I’m not so concerned about everything, otherwise how could I survive in this mansion?”
Hearing this, Emilia couldn’t help but chuckle.
Roswaal, in his frivolous manner, said, “Anyway, let’s take our seats.”
Fang Li naturally had no objections.
So, Fang Li sat down on Roswaal’s left, with Emilia following closely behind.
Then, Roswaal seemed to be evaluating something and clicked his tongue in wonder.
“Looking so closely, you truly are an extraordinary character. Now I understand why Rem and Ram are so cautious.”
“However, I’d like to say this.”
Roswaal stared straight at Fang Li, a smile on his face, and said, “I really want you.”
