48 The Princess Appeared

Morton?!

So this was Morton's father, the Marquis of Cumberland.

Harriet Terrence noticed Morton's presence and smiled at Joelson. "Go and find your friends. You can't always stay with an old man like me."

Joelson nodded and walked over to Morton.

"Morton!"

Morton was so excited that his whole face was trembling slightly.

He knew very well who the main character of this dinner party was.

All the nobles in the upper class were trying to make friends with Morton, the rising star of the Empire.

Morton saw that his usually strict father also gave him an approving and expectant look.

Being able to make friends with Joelson, he felt that this was the luckiest thing he had ever encountered in his life.

"Morton, I didn't expect to meet you here," Joelaon said to Morton with a smile.

Morton said excitedly, "Of course, in fact, many people in the academy are here. See over there? Francis is there."
