Lorian looked at Cecilia in shock.

He was the one who ordered the tracking, and he knew where the other party was better than anyone else.

Seeing Lorian's expression, Cecilia knew she was right.

There was a banquet after the ball. The royal family members would dine in the inner hall, while the banquet for the other invited guests would be held in the outer hall.

Lorian was supposed to dine in the outer hall, but he was worried about Cecilia's safety.

In other words, he saw value in Cecilia and she helped him rebuild the glory of the Magicians Guild.

Lorian knew that he was in the wrong. He did not take action at the critical moment of the incident. If Cecilia regretted it, Lorian couldn't say anything.

What's more, Cecilia is the real princess, and we can't afford to offend her.

Lorian's current purpose is somewhat complicated, but no matter what his position is, it will not prevent him from establishing a revolutionary friendship with Cecilia.

Cecilia knew exactly what Lorian was thinking, but she didn't expose it.

As the birthday girl today, Cecilia asked Gallup if Lorian could have dinner with them. Although Gallup would not refuse Cecilia's request in public, he secretly remembered this boy.

Lorian felt helpless. He knew that Cecilia was deliberately diverting everyone's attention to him. It might be "revenge" for him not taking action, or there might be some other arrangement.

No matter which one it is, Lorian can only suffer it.

The king's gaze is not acceptable, let alone the king's "good" gaze.

During the dinner, there were singing and dancing performances and fireworks shows. Cecilia watched them very attentively, so Gallup gave her many rewards.

As the huge birthday cake was pushed onto the table, Cecilia happily made a wish and the dinner officially came to an end.

After the dinner, nobles who did not have housing in the main city of Petra could stay in the palace for one night.

Lorian stayed reluctantly.

For a moment, Lorian seemed to feel Gallup's murderous intent.

Other nobles had their own maids to lead the way, but Lorian was taken away by Cecilia.

The nobles who walked slower once again felt the king's wrath.

"Are you really not afraid that your father will kill me?" Lorian asked as he walked out of the main hall.

Cecilia shook her head, "Today is my birthday, at least you are safe today."

Lorian stumbled when he heard this.

Cecilia laughed, and Lorian jumped up and down, "You can still laugh? Aren't you afraid that you will be killed as soon as you enter the palace?"

"Don't you have me? If you behave well and become my savior, you won't have to worry about whether my father will kill you."

Lorian was speechless.

Cecilia said this lightly, she didn't think about the fact that the other party's control over black magic was so terrifying. It was good enough that he didn't hold them back. How could she actually expect him to play a big role?

People still need to have self-knowledge.

Cecilia didn't say anything else. She began to be careful and alert for a magician who might suddenly appear around her.

It was not until she reached the door of the bedroom that Cecilia felt a very faint trace of black magic.

Cecilia frowned, "Is the other party still in there?"

Lorian quickly checked the location of the tracking symbol and nodded in affirmation.

The two men pushed the door open cautiously and walked in.

The huge bedroom was extremely quiet. After the maids finished dressing Cecilia today, they were given a day off. Almost all the maids chose to leave the palace and go home.

Cecilia was somewhat glad that she gave the maids a day off today, otherwise when she came back there might be corpses all over the floor.

Lorian followed behind her, and both of them took every step very carefully.

Cecilia whispered, "Lead the way."

Lorian moved lightly and took Cecilia into the room indicated by the tracking symbol - that was Cecilia's bedroom.

The two looked at each other, Lorian took the initiative to push the door open, and Cecilia followed behind him.

The gauze curtains by the window were blown up by the wind, and the moonlight poured into the room from the floor-to-ceiling doors and windows. The empty bedroom was silent.

Cecilia followed behind Lorian, keeping an eye on her surroundings.

Until Lorian walked to Cecilia's closet door and stood still.

Lorian looked at Cecilia.

The two nodded, and Lorian opened the cabinet door.

Cecilia was ready.

nobody.

In the middle of the closet, there was a piece of paper with the words: "See you next time if we are lucky."

Familiar style, familiar font.

But the person Cecilia was thinking of was dead according to the system data.

"System, are you sure there is no problem with the information you gave me?"

"Full test in progress. Test results will take ten hours. Please wait."

Cecilia was silent. Even if there were errors in the system and the other party was not dead, given his hatred for black magic, he would not become such a powerful black magician.

"What's wrong with you? Do you know each other?"

I have to say that this young president does have some advantages.

"You should leave my chamber now, otherwise I really cannot guarantee whether you can see the sun the day after tomorrow."

Lorian's gossiping heart was mostly gone, and he walked out, "If my life is in danger, Princess, remember to save me."

Cecilia neither agreed nor refused, and watched Lorian leave.

Lorian turned around and reminded Cecilia, "Remember to wait for me to leave and then set up the next protective barrier."

Cecilia nodded perfunctorily.

If the other party really wanted to kill her, it would be useless even if she set up a hundred barriers.

Cecilia looked at the bright moon outside the window. When the man said "we must completely eradicate the dark magic from the continent of Swestre", it seemed that there was also such a bright moon behind him.

The scene at that time was still vivid in Cecilia's mind. She even remembered that the other party's declaration was like thunder, which stunned everyone around the campfire. The sound of burning branches could be heard crackling in the campfire.

It definitely won’t be the other party’s.

Cecilia, who was lost in memories all night, did not rest well.

The black magician on the other side didn't seem to be coming to visit.

"System, are the test results out?"

"There are no errors or omissions in the data. Please continue your mission, host."

Sure enough, Cecilia finally relaxed.

The maids have returned this morning. After a short day of reunion with their families, each maid looks much better.

Feeling that the princess had become kinder, everyone boldly knocked on her door and asked her to get up.

Cecilia had breakfast and changed her clothes with the help of everyone.

This time, Cecilia followed Gallup's instructions and left the palace with her guard Valken and went straight to the Magicians' Guild.

On the way, Cecilia looked at the guard that Gallup had carefully selected and placed beside her, "I know you are going back to report to the emperor, but I became an adult yesterday and need some secrets, so please help me keep it a secret when you report to the emperor, how about that?"

Valken said, "I will report what I know."

Cecilia knew what was going on.
