Half-elf Notebook

After some chatting, the two sides became more familiar with each other.

Seeing this, Ina was about to join in the joke, but suddenly she paused, turned back abruptly, and stared at the direction where Aixia came from.

Everywhere you look, you can still see guests bustling about and waiters carrying drinks.

And further away, in the center of the hall, of course, there were only dancers dancing to the music.

But Ina soon discovered who was coming - he had no intention of hiding himself.

Amid the numerous footsteps, the orderly and steady sounds of a pair of leather shoes became increasingly obvious.

He moved closer, as if signaling this message, until it came to an abrupt stop.

At this moment, its owner stopped three meters away from Ina.

He was a middle-aged gentleman who was already showing signs of aging. Shallow furrows and wrinkles had already appeared on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, but his eyes alone were bright and sharp.

His shirt and tailcoat are in black and white, giving people the intuitive feeling that he is a butler.

If we put aside his excellent fighting spirit.

"Upper bronze level..."

Ina looked at the other person calmly. Although it was blurry, she could judge that the other person's rank was roughly similar to that of Mr. William.

"Your strength is beyond my expectation. I guess you are Miss Ina West, right?"

The butler was very polite, with his left hand behind his back and his right hand wearing a white glove gently pressed against his chest:

"I'm here on behalf of my young master to invite Miss West to discuss something."

Discussing some things... Ina was a little confused and couldn't help but guess the identity of the other young master.

"Who is your young master, and what do you want to discuss with Ina?"

Before Ina could ask, Aishia, who had temporarily put aside her conversation with Neil, returned to Ina and asked the question first.

"Mr. Cook Morbis, the fifth Duke of the Kingdom, the heir of Duke Morbis, and the fourth in line to the Morbis family."

"As for what the matter is, I'm afraid Miss West will need to go and ask..."

The fourth in line to the Dukedom, what does he want from me? It was hard for Ina not to be confused by this.

Whether in the past or now, this identity is too far-fetched for her.

To go or not to go was the question...and she seemed to have the choice.

Not going might even seem like a better option at first glance. At least one wouldn't have to think about how to reject the Duke's son's request and the possible consequences of the rejection.

Ina turned her gaze towards the blonde girl next to her.

Would love to get some opinions.

Aixia obviously has more experience in dealing with this than she does.

However, to her surprise, Aixia was also looking at her, with a gentle calmness on her delicate face, as if she had been waiting for Ina's inquiry.

The girl with super white hair in Asia nodded and turned to ask the butler:

"Then how about I go with you? As the daughter of President Berleman and the vice president of the Blue Wine Chamber of Commerce, it shouldn't be inconvenient for me to meet Mr. Cook Morbis even if I'm not invited, right?"

"Of course. Your participation will definitely add a lot of color to this meeting. I'm sure Master Cook will also welcome your arrival."

The butler bowed and then offered his seat:

"Please follow me to where the Master is waiting, ladies."

The three of them walked among the guests, crossed half of the hall and stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor. During this process, only a very small number of people looked at them, and their eyes quickly shifted away again. Those were people who knew Aixia.

——And at such banquets, it is normal for powerful people to send their own butlers to invite specific guests.

It would be better to say that the dinner itself has such a hidden meaning at a deeper level - it is not only a party for many apprentices to get to know each other, but also a social occasion for aristocratic descendants, businessmen and celebrities to negotiate and gamble.

"Please wait here for a moment while I go in to explain the situation and report on Miss Berleman's involvement."

The butler then opened the copper-decorated door and walked in.

The two people outside the door looked at each other in silence. They both had many questions and guesses, but Ina and Aixia did not choose to talk and communicate directly.

First, such groundless speculation would not solve the problem. On the contrary, there was a risk of being eavesdropped by the housekeeper.

Second, these questions will be answered soon.

A few minutes passed quickly, and the door of the reception room opened again with a creaking sound.

"Come in ladies, Master Cook welcomes you."
