Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 377 Luke's Dinner (1)

In the midsummer night, the air was very hot, but Luke's mansion was brightly lit and the servants were busy.Tonight, Luke will hold a small banquet for her Majesty Catherine, the queen. It is said that this banquet will determine the future fate of the imperial capital, so no one dares to make a mistake.

It's still early, and the protagonist of the banquet, Queen Catherine, will be there for a while, so the host here, Luke, sits leisurely in his study, drinking Bordeaux, and flipping through a book at will.And in the study with Luke, there is also the great magician Victor.

"Luke, do you really want to fully support Catherine?" Victor said to Luke, who was reading aside, sitting in Luke's study.

"Oh, dear friend, why do you suddenly say that?" Luke put down the book in his hand, looked at Victor, and said calmly, "Is it because of the banquet tonight?"

Victor shook his head and said, "We have been in friendship for decades, don't I know your thoughts? You deliberately highlighted the brutality of the orcs in front of them today, not just to induce those who are greedy for life and fear of death to leave here."

Luke smiled slightly and nodded to admit Victor's words: "Yes, I can't hide it from you."

"why?"

"what why?"

"Catherine, why do you have to support her fully?"

"Why not? Old friend."

"Luke!" Victor said patiently to Luke: "How much do you know about Catherine? Her past is as clean as a newborn baby, and the only thing that can be confirmed is the stage where the goddess team was formed before the Royal Tournament. Experience. Going forward? Where does she live? Who taught her magic? Her parents, relatives, friends?"

"So what?" Luke smiled faintly, and said to Victor: "These are not important, Victor. Two points are enough."

Victor did not speak, but stared at Luke's face, hoping to see some clues from his face.

Luke smiled again and said: "The first point is that Catherine was born a civilian without a huge family as a foundation. With her identity, it is possible to get the support of Fernando's blood. Only I can help her, and there is no need to be afraid that she will treat me What's the impact? The second point is simpler. After all, she also has inheritance rights and conforms to the laws of the empire. Orlando is not a violation of the oath. I can't apologize to my daughter."

"You are dancing on the tip of a needle!"

"After that night, everything I did was dancing on the tip of the needle!" Luke suddenly said loudly, "Victor, my old friend, I have no retreat now, and Orlando refuses to cooperate with me. I don’t want to seek rebellion. I must have a symbol of imperial power there. Only she is the most suitable candidate. Whether she wants to or not, I only need to borrow her identity. And, even if she has something Question, dear Victor, with your strength, are you still afraid of her?"

Victor was silent. Indeed, with Victor's current strength, even if he encounters the holy knight in Orlando leading an entire army, he can still retreat. Although Catherine is very powerful in magic, it is not his. opponent.Moreover, Catherine came from a commoner, not Victor's most annoying noble. For this, Luke chose Catherine to be more acceptable to Victor than to choose those fat-headed guys.However, there should be many secrets hidden in Catherine's body, such as the natural charm, which is the reason why Victor faintly felt a little wrong.

The study fell into silence again, Victor sat silently, and Luke picked up the book again and continued reading.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and the footsteps disappeared when they reached the door. Then a male servant's voice sounded: "Master, Queen Catherine's carriage is about to arrive."

Luke stood up, he smiled and said to Victor: "Let’s go, old friend, accompany me out to meet the guests." Victor shook his head and said, "You know I'm the most annoying, I won't go. , I'll go back to the Magic Tower." Luke was startled slightly, and then said: "Whatever you want, but Ryan can't follow you. How can I say that he has a close relationship with Farasi, and many things will be impossible to avoid in the future. "

Victor said: "I guess he doesn't like these things either. When he came back a few days ago, he said he would ask me about the magic circle. It seems that there is no time now. By the way, that little guy is very temperamental to me. , Don’t use your bad stomach to teach him badly."

"Hahahaha" Luke laughed and said, "Am I as bad as you said?"

"Humph!" Vic multilateralized his clothes and replied, "You are worse than I said, otherwise how can you deal with those greedy nobles?"

"That's it," Luke smiled and shook his head. "Well, you can go, but the war may be about to start at any time these days, just in case..."

"Here you!" Victor threw a magic scroll to Luke and explained: "If you need my help, let Lion use this scroll to teleport to my magic tower."

Luke solemnly packed the magic scroll, then opened the door and walked out.A strong light emerged from the study, covering Victor's figure. After a while, the light disappeared and Victor was gone.

As soon as Luke walked to the door of his residence, he saw two brand-new carriages slowly stopped. Catherine was wearing a magician robe, and with the help of her personal guard, the holy knight Christina, slowly walked down the front. That carriage.

Luke hurried up and said: "Welcome to you, honorable Queen Catherine." Catherine returned a gift, and then said: "Thank you for your invitation, Lord Luke." After saying this, Catherine pointed again. The carriage behind said: "I also brought a few friends, I hope it is not too obtrusive."

Luke smiled and said, "You are too polite, and your friend is also my friend. Oh, now that everything is ready in there, please come in first."

After mutual humility and an innocent communication, Luke took Catherine and his party to the restaurant, while Faras and others had been waiting there.

As the host, Luke cleared his throat and began to introduce: "Your Majesty Queen, please allow me first..."

"Oh, please wait a moment!" Catherine interrupted Luke. "There is one thing I must say first."

Luke was startled. Generally speaking, even for small banquets, guests rarely interrupted the host forcibly, but as Catherine, she was not rude to do so."Then please speak." Luke said respectfully.

"I think, today’s banquet should be a private banquet? As a host, it seems unnecessary to invite a few good friends to have dinner and talk and exchange feelings. So, please call me Catherine instead of anything. Your Majesty the Queen, okay?"

"Ah!" Luke didn't expect Catherine to say this, and he subconsciously objected: "Well, royal etiquette can't..."

"Luke, at the door just now, the so-called imperial rituals have annoyed me. You know, I am not a nobleman! Now here are just a few of my friends and yours. Family and friends, everyone should get along as equals! Now I am attending this banquet as your friend, please call me Catherine. If you still want to use such boring etiquette, then I will turn around and leave!"

Luke hesitated for a moment, and quickly calculated in his head. He felt that it was too troublesome to be too entangled in boring etiquette, and the conversation tonight can be in a relaxed and peaceful environment, with the title and words between friends. Come to communicate, the effect should be better."Well, as you wish, Kay... Catherine."

After listening to Luke's words, Catherine's face immediately burst into a smile, the beauty was thrilling, and everyone present, even Faras and others who were women, couldn't help but speed up.

"Please go ahead, Luke. I'm sorry to interrupt you just now!" Catherine said.

"Oh, no." Luke said with a smile: "Since I am a friend, why do you still say this. Now let me introduce it." Luke pointed his eldest daughter and said, "Sophie, I 'S eldest daughter, Orlando's wife."

As Luke’s daughter, Sophie is naturally proficient in etiquette. She thought of Catherine and said: "It's nice to meet you, Catherine."

Catherine also smiled and said: "Ha, I am the same, you are more beautiful than the legend, Orlando is really blessed to marry you."

Sophie smiled faintly, with a shy look on her face.

Luke continued: "This is my little daughter, Faras."

Catherine followed Luke's instructions and set her gaze on Farasi.When she just walked in, Falasi was standing behind Sophie, and Catherine did not pay attention to Falasi, but now Catherine's eyes just saw Falasi, her heart was shocked. Infinite waves!

For tonight’s banquet, Luke deliberately played down the background of the participants, so Faras did not wear a gorgeous evening dress, but instead did her usual dress, so Faras put on the magic robe that Ryan gave her. Body.This purple magic robe is very well-made. The pattern embroidered on it makes Farasi really love it, and it also permanently solidifies a "natural charm" magic, which makes the person wearing it more attractive. This is for female wearers. It is simply a fatal temptation.

It's a pity that Ryan, Faras and others didn't know that this purple magic robe was the treasure that Catherine never left her body. Later, when she fled the palace, she had to leave it.Now that things are different, Catherine has seen her favorite clothes again, and she is no longer the arrogant and innocent little girl before.Catherine had mixed feelings for a while and stood on the spot.
