Quick Travel: The beginning is Shura Field

Chapter 1552: Rampant in the Magic World with Magical Arts (20)

Without Lilia as his companion, the second brother sat dejectedly on the single sofa next to him.

Dai Ke noticed his second brother's disappointment and kindly reminded him, "Lilia is very popular in the academy. If you are interested in Lilia, I suggest you take the initiative."

The second brother looked over as Dai Ke reminded him, and indeed saw two men surrounding Lilia.

"Isn't that Sacha and Kotel's successor candidate?"

Dai Ke raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then raised his hand to call the waiter to refill it: "Yeah, second brother, do you think you are not competitive enough?"

The second brother stared at Lilia and found that she was shy with others as well as with him. He immediately realized that he had been deceived. He took a sip of wine and left the hall in a huff.

The eldest brother was a little unhappy: "Why did you remind him? Isn't it good for us to have one less competitor?"

Dai Ke sipped his red wine and said, "I don't want the position of Duke anyway. Watching you two fighting is also a good show."

The eldest brother stared at Dai Ke, his wine-red eyes narrowed: "After spending some time in the academy, his personality has become much worse."

Dai Ke smiled instead of getting angry: "Thank you for the compliment, big brother."

"But I doubt that you want us to fight each other and then reap the benefits yourself."

"Brother, you are really suspicious. If I want the position of successor, do you still have a chance of winning?"

Dai Ke’s confidence is irrefutable.

Several princes and princesses dressed in gorgeous golden dresses walked down the stairs, attracting the attention of everyone.

Dai Ke and his elder brother stood up almost at the same time and saluted the newcomers. The eldest prince, who was walking in front and had a noble demeanor, said kindly, "Today is just a gathering among peers, everyone can have fun as they please, no need to be polite."

The third princess, Taya, said something to the eldest prince and walked straight towards Dai Ke.

Under Dai Ke's indignant eyes, Princess Taya stretched out her silk-gloved hand to her eldest brother: "Can you invite me to dance the opening dance?"

The eldest brother's eyes turned into a pool of water. He stood up and held Princess Taya's fingers, then lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand: "It's an honor."

A beam of light lit up in the center of the ballroom. Looking at the coordinated dance moves of Big Brother and Princess Taya, it was clear at a glance that this was not the first time they had met.

【Xiaowu, there are melons. 】

[I have already eaten the host, and the two of them are the official couple in the original plot. ]

[Wow, you didn't share this good news with me earlier. You are so disloyal.]

Just as Dai Ke was enjoying his melon, a gentle voice came from above his head: "Miss Sinclair, can I invite you to dance?"

Dai Ke looked up at the eldest prince and touched his cane politely: "Sorry, I injured my leg while on a mission, so it's not very convenient."

Dai Ke was afraid that someone would invite her to dance, so she used a cane to pretend to have a lame leg.

"That's a shame. Do you need a doctor to take a look?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Prince. I've checked it out and it's nothing serious."

"I'll take my leave now. Have a good rest, Miss Sinclair."

The dance party officially started, and many people came to invite Dai Ke to dance, but she rejected them all with the same reason.

Not long into the dance, Dai Ke began to feel bored. She stared at Lilia and saw that she was being pestered by Dian Gong and Zhi Zhang, and felt that she would not have a chance to make friends with other people today.

Thinking of this, Dai Ke planned to leave early.

She stood up with the help of her cane and was about to leave when she heard a loud bang.

"what!"

"It's a monster!"

"Why are there monsters in the palace?"

A monster appeared in the heavily guarded palace, scaring the exquisitely dressed young masters and young ladies into running away.

A magical beast suddenly attacked Princess Taya and the eldest prince in the middle of the dance floor.

The eldest brother stood in front of Princess Taya, drew his sword and slashed at the monster, shouting to Princess Taya behind him: "Hurry up and hide in a safe place!" The eldest prince took a few steps back and was about to call for guards when a petite figure blocked his way.

Lilia controlled the cane to release a magic shield and comforted the eldest prince: "I will protect your prince."

Before the eldest prince could feel any gratitude, a pitch-black sword pierced through the two monsters one after another.

The monster howled and fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

The sword flew back to Dai Ke, and turned back into a cane, which was held in Dai Ke's hand. He looked at the eldest prince and eldest brother with concern: "Are you okay?"

The eldest prince thanked her and said, "Thank you, Miss Sinclair. It seems that your magic has improved. What was that magic just now?"

Dai Ke said perfunctorily: "It's just an ordinary object control technique."

Lilia, who was about to show off, said sarcastically: "Miss Sinclair's attack was so fierce, it seems that she knows the weaknesses of these two monsters very well."

The appearance of monsters in the palace was unbelievable.

Lilia's words seemed to be guiding everyone to suspect that Dai Ke was the one who released the monster.

Dai Ke remained calm and smiled gently: "Ms. Lilia, you are incompetent, so you think everyone is as useless as you?"

"They are just two monsters. To me, they are as fragile as two pieces of paper."

Dai Ke's abilities are obvious to all, and her achievement of becoming a high-level magician at the age of seven makes people particularly convinced of her words.

The eldest prince, who was originally grateful to Lilia, frowned and said, "My lady, please do not doubt Miss Sinclair's ability. She is the best magician in Ernis. It is easy for her to deal with two magical beasts."

Lilia had not received an invitation letter at first. It was only when she saw Dian Gong and the others received the invitation letter that she guessed that her two elder sisters might have received the invitation letter. So she asked for leave and begged her two elder sisters to bring her over.

After getting her consent, she planned to attach herself to higher-level dignitaries, so she took the risk to cooperate with the black magician and let them release the monster at the ball.

He thought that even if he couldn't win, he would be appreciated for protecting the prince, and would gain his favor. However, he didn't expect that his careful plans were destroyed by Dai Ke so easily.

She hid the resentment in her eyes and pretended to be aggrieved: "I am just afraid that someone has bad intentions towards the royal family, so I am more vigilant. I hope Miss Sinclair will not misunderstand me."

Dai Ke agreed: "Lilia is right. It is indeed strange that a monster appeared in the palace. The eldest prince had better send someone to investigate it thoroughly."

There was a flash of panic in Lilia's eyes, but she didn't dare to say anything.

The eldest prince invited: "If it is convenient for Miss Sinclair, can this matter be left to you?"

Dai Ke looked at his eldest brother who was comforting Princess Taya and said, "I'm sorry, I have a mission at the academy, so I'm afraid it's not convenient for me. But my eldest brother is also very capable, so let him investigate this matter."

The eldest brother looked at Dai Ke in surprise. What she said was equivalent to recommending herself to the royal family and increasing his chances of winning the election as successor.

Dai Ke noticed his elder brother's puzzled look and smiled at him kindly.
