Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 243 Sir Gawain
After the dance, Audrey Hall walked Adele to the edge of the dance floor.

According to the rules of the Loen banquet, men or people who dance men's dance steps cannot invite a lady consecutively. This is the most basic courtesy at the ball, even for the host of the ball.

Therefore, no matter how reluctant Adele was, Audrey had to leave, leaving Adele standing alone on the edge of the dance floor.

Although she was very interested in the seared tilapia and sliced ​​veal steaks with black pepper sauce on the long table next to her, she did not forget the purpose of coming to the dance.

Pay attention to your image, Adele. You are not here to eat, you are here to meet the powerful gentlemen and ladies in the Sea Region. You can't just focus on eating...

Adele repeated it in her mind, then took a deep breath, straightened her back, and glanced around gracefully but not abruptly. This tiny movement meant that she was ready to dance with others.

Then, Adele saw the crowd rushing towards her and Miss Audrey. Before she could react, she was surrounded by several gentlemen.

"Miss Circe, can I ask you for a dance?"

Young and old gentlemen rushed to extend their hands to Adele.

Looking at the white gloves dangling in front of her, Adele's smile became a little stiff.

……

Twenty minutes later, Adele and the fourth gentleman said goodbye politely and stopped in front of the long table where the food was placed.

"It's really tiring... It's a pity that Otilus's paradox ring was destroyed in the Twilight Kingdom, otherwise wearing that ring on my hand would have avoided a lot of boring problems."

Adele took a breath and gained a new understanding of the repressed desire of the Loen men in similar areas.

Just now, the four men, either implicitly or directly, asked whether they had someone they liked. However, according to Rune's style, such questions must be preceded by a long paragraph of meaningless words, which annoyed Adele.

Unlike the open Intis, there were few places where unmarried men and women could talk to each other. Therefore, many women chose to marry the first man they met at a dance.

Although the Goddess Church advocates gender equality, which gives women the right to choose freely, the options have not increased...

Adele sighed and forked some food onto her plate. There was running hot water under the long iron table, and the heat kept the food prepared in advance from getting cold. After tasting a piece of beef short ribs, Adele made a satisfied sound.

During the social event just now, Adele had more or less acquired some information about the nobles in the Jianhai region.

In the Jianhai region, the family with the highest title of nobility is the Gawain family, a hereditary viscount family that holds real power. The one coming to the ball today is Solar Gawain, the next heir to the viscountship, who is also the person in charge of communicating with Adele.

However, similar to Audrey and Adele, he was also entangled by the young ladies present and was unable to extricate himself.

Watching the polite smile on the elegantly dressed blond young man's face gradually stiffen, Adele couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him.

Under the influence of the Goddess Church, a man invited by a woman generally cannot refuse if he does not have a female companion, but a woman invited by a man still has a similar right to refuse, regardless of whether she is single or not.

"You finally noticed Sir Gawain."

Miss Audrey's voice suddenly rang in Adele's ears.

Adele tilted her head slightly and found that something was faintly squirming in the shadow of the round collar on her shoulder, making a sound that only she could hear.

"Although his family has a hereditary viscount title, the old viscount has not yet passed away, so now he is only a knight."

"He is a 'notary' of Sequence 6 of the Sun Pathway. He is very sensitive to these shadow creatures. He should have discovered that I used my extraordinary ability by now. If he knows what's interesting, he should know what this means."

Audrey's voice was slightly teasing. "Now it's time for you to use your witch charm to make those ladies around Solar retreat."

Tsk, Adele smacked her lips imperceptibly.

"At the party tonight, the attitudes of other merchants are actually not important. As long as you can reach a cooperative relationship with Sir Solar, there will be no problems in the future, even if I am no longer in charge of the Inter-Sea Region."

Miss Hall stood in the shadow of the curtains, looking at Adele.

"Okay, I see."

Adele sighed helplessly, quickly finished the food she had just received, and then took a glass of champagne from a passing waiter in a black vest. As the dance music was about to end, she walked slowly to Sir Solar, who had just finished the fifth dance.

"You don't look like you want to keep dancing."

Adele winked at Solar Gawain. This was not in line with the social etiquette of always maintaining a dignified manner, but Adele did it so naturally that no one could criticize her.

Well, good-looking people have similar privileges.

"So, how about we go to the backyard and chat for a while?"

Adele said directly, "You seem to need some time like this to calm your head."

"my pleasure."

Solar Gawain was not displeased by the abrupt invitation. On the contrary, he still maintained a bright smile and walked towards the protruding balcony with Adele. The waiter drew the heavy curtains behind them.

The balcony is exposed to the outside of the building, so the temperature is relatively low. However, Adele, who walked out of the room with Sir Gawain, did not notice any obvious temperature changes, which seemed to be the effect of the other party's extraordinary ability.

"I never thought you were also a Beyonder. I was surprised when Miss Hall introduced you as one of them... Witch, right?"

Sir Gawain pulled out a cigarette case from his pocket like magic, "Mind if I smoke one?"

"If I say I mind, you won't smoke?"

Adele smiled and said, "Your way of speaking has returned to normal. You can be more natural in other aspects as well."

"Hmph..." Solar Gawain sneered, "You are as cunning as any witch I have ever seen."

"Although I'm surprised that you've seen a witch, it's okay this way."

Adele shrugged unladylike, "At least you who know the Witch Path won't have the same inappropriate thoughts as those guys, so we can all feel a little more relaxed."
