After the engagement banquet, Sherlock was coldly invited away by Watson, and obediently sat in the special car of the British embassy. Seeing that McCoff booked three tickets to fly back to London early the next morning in front of him, he could only take Oppose holding back in your stomach.

The Muggle guests left one after another, and after sunset, only wizards were left in the manor to continue the night's celebration.

When the ball started, Allen smiled and took Anna's hand, walked to the center of the dance floor, and danced to the cello's low-pitched prologue.

The combination of handsome man and beautiful girl is so pleasing to the eye, the aura of the Schiller and Petrovich family is so dazzling.Under the bright lights, such two almost perfect young people are so intimately embraced, who would think that they should not be together?No matter how unwilling the young men and women who had pursued Anna or dreamed of becoming Mrs. Schiller, they had no choice but to give up after seeing this scene.

On one side of the hall, Nikolai Petrovich half-closed his eyes, his face was flushed by alcohol, and he complained loudly to the people around him that his prospective son-in-law was a sick child, completely ignoring that this was the territory of the Schiller family.

"Father is just reluctant to part with my sister." Alyosha, the second son of Petrovich, who was eager to see off his eldest sister and became the first heir to the Petrovich family, explained to Schiller who was looking sideways at him: "Whether Whoever becomes Anna's husband will not get a good word from him."

William smiled understandingly, and seemed to accept Alyosha's explanation, or maybe he didn't care what Nicholas thought of Alan at all.

He has nothing to do with Schiller and Petrovich's affairs, and he doesn't need to intervene. Allen has already arranged everything, and what Nicholas said at the engagement banquet has long been unimportant.The Schillers did not gather at the country estate today just for the engagement of those in power.

In the middle of the opening dance, with the perfect rotation of Alan and Anna, the waltz suddenly reached a climax.The butler, Barthiromo, appeared in the hall at some unknown time, followed by the same silent servants, and took the guests away one by one with various reasons.The guests of Petrovich's house also retreated under the temptation of vodka, and began to gather in a private circle.

The hall is still lively. There are too many branches of the huge Schiller family. Strange faces from all counties in Norway gather here. Who would know that there is only Schiller left here without knowing it?

When the gate of the manor was closed and the music on the dance floor stopped abruptly, Allen gently released Anna's hand, distanced himself from her indifferently, and looked coldly at his fiancée who had been lovingly with him today like a puppet who had lost its string, and stopped stiffly in the original place. land.

The undisguised fluctuations of soul magic made Oleg Petrovich's complexion suddenly ugly, and he finally realized that he had been caught in Schiller's elaborate deception during these days in Norway.

Anna's injury was not an accident, Alan did not fall in love at all, and William, who was rumored to be at odds with the people in power, gave him wrong information without hesitation, making him miss the truth from the beginning.

Schiller's penchant for putting on a show made it hard to figure out what they were thinking. Oleg always believed that the brothers and sisters were an illusion deliberately created by Allen and William, and the private tension was the truth.However, facing the current situation, he was not sure what kind of relationship there was between Allen and William.

……

There were only a few people standing opposite each other in the huge banquet hall.Alan's face was as pale as paper, but with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, he walked towards Nicholas step by step.Bartholomo followed him like a shadow, his expressionless face like a piece of lifeless wood.In the empty space, there was only the sound of Alan's footsteps, pattering on everyone's heart.

He stood still in front of Nicholas, still polite, like a humble junior: "Sir, I hope that today's engagement banquet arrangement will satisfy you."

Nicholas stared at the young man in front of him, the first time he looked at him so seriously, the drunkenness just now was gone: "How satisfied, what if you are not satisfied?"

Allen smiled and said helplessly, "I'm looking forward to your approval."

"Do I look like a fool!" Nicholas laughed loudly, turned around slowly, glanced across the empty hall, and sneered: "Boy, do you want to tell me that this show is also to get My approval?"

Allen tilted his head, showing some doubts: "Why not? You said that every family that wants to survive in history is born from plunder and passed on from plunder." He said with his eyes I started to let go, and fell into the memory: "I still remember that when you were 13 years old, you brought Anna to the Schiller Manor, and wanted her to develop a relationship with William, so that in the future, it would be logical to take the position of Mrs. Schiller and help you Achieved the great cause of annexing Schiller. Unfortunately, my younger brother is not as easy to control as you think, and he is not a passionate gentleman. He is not even interested in the family. He couldn't wait to leave Norway when he was an adult, and he would rather be a wanderer."

If Allen knew of Petrovic's plan at the age of 13, then what kind of mentality has he been watching his every move and secretly planning for so many years?Nicholas twitched the corner of his mouth, his face gloomy.Allen didn't care about his low pressure, and continued to speak slowly: "William probably disappointed you? I'm different. After I became a person in power, every step I took was adhering to what you taught back then—to plunder .” He smiled, took a step forward, and looked at Nicholas expectantly: “How am I doing?”

If Alan's goal is not Petrovic, if Alan is his son, Nicholas will definitely not be able to help but applaud him.But there is no if in the world. He started the secret war between the two families, but at some point quietly changed the leader, and Alan Schiller took the lead. How could he say a word of appreciation.

Allen looked at Nicholas, saw that he was silent all the time, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "It seems that you are not happy."

, "Don't get complacent too early," Nicholas said coldly, "You are not my opponent at all. Or, you still have to ask your brother to do it today?" He said and looked towards the door, where William and Draco were standing Well, it has nothing to do with me, in front of the only audience.

Faced with such straightforward contempt, Allen was not angry at all, and actually took a serious look at William, as if waiting for his answer.His patience made Draco roll his eyes, disapproving of this procrastinating, superficial Alan style.

William raised his eyebrows: "I have to find Caesar."

Allen looked at Nicholas with regret: "It's a pity, it seems that your opponent can only be me."

William really took Draco away, and there were only four people left in the hall.Allen and his ever-invisible butler face off against the two long-established dark wizards of the Petrovic family.

Oleg has already entered the state of preparation, Nicholas sneered, and pulled out his wand to point at Allen, but his whole posture was relaxed, without the slightest nervousness, and he didn't pay attention to Allen at all.

"Come on, I'll teach you a lesson today." He looked at Allen arrogantly, as if staring at a loser who was destined to fall into his hands.

Allen just smiled, bowed slightly to him, and perfunctorily completed the last salute to Patriarch Petrovic.
