Not all confessions are love affairs

The departure of Liang Lidong and Frey caused some commotion in the banquet. …. ….

As a powerful professional, Frey had always been very self-respecting, and there had never been any rumors about her private life style. But now, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she brought a young man of the right age to the third floor, and there were a lot of things that could be imagined.

The nobles were exchanging their opinions and views in a low voice, and the hall was buzzing. They were no longer in the mood to socialize and enjoy the food, because once their speculation came true, then the political situation in the Blue Wave Port would definitely change greatly.

Kail ate without a care in the world, and Alice stayed next to him, her eyes flashing with the light of gossip.

Emma, on the other hand, stood in the middle of a group of male nobles, expressionless. No matter how exaggerated the other young talents were, she remained expressionless.

One of the male nobles spoke for a long time, and his mouth was dry. Seeing that Emma was unmoved, he also looked a little impolite. His eyes moved, but his hand was about to touch the girl's back. In the unwritten rules of Hollevin's banquet, if two fingers were gently touched on a woman's back, it was a special kind of "inquiry," and if the woman did not refuse, then the two could meet in a secret place.

Seeing that the male nobleman's hand was about to touch Emma's back, a whirlwind suddenly appeared on the latter's body, directly blowing the man three meters into the air, and then he fell heavily out of the window.

Outside the window was a pool, and the sound of a heavy object falling into the water was heard, followed by the man's painful coughing.

It had to be said that Emma's control of magic was quite good. She used magic to directly sweep people away, not only did she not hurt them, but even the people around them were not affected. Such strength, in the human world, was already top-notch.

At this moment, no one dared to stay around Emma.

After such a sudden outburst, Emma suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

On the other side. Sophia saw this scene and smiled softly. Then she walked in front of Kail and said affectionately, "Child. Long time no see, how have you been recently? "

Kail hurriedly wiped his mouth and said nervously, "Madam, I'm fine … How is Barbara?"

Kail would not be nervous even if he killed someone now, but in front of Sophia. He felt a little guilty. After all, she was his mother-in-law, Barbara's mother, and he was having a little ambiguous relationship with Alice …

The kind and good-natured Kail suddenly felt that he was not a good person.

Alice naturally knew who the woman in front of her was. She looked at her with some hostility and then hugged Kail's arm with great strength.

Kail's expression was rather awkward. He exerted force with his arms, but failed to shake Alice off. He was afraid that he would hurt the half-elf beside him if he used too much force, so he could only put on a bitter face.

Sophia watched all this with a smile. Then he said, "Barbara is very lonely at home and talks about you every day. I don't know what you're planning to do outside and how long you're going to travel, but I hope you can go back and accompany her when you have time. "

Kail nodded vigorously. His forehead was already covered in cold sweat. Although Sophia still looked like a gentle elder, as a professional, as a descendant of the Hero, and as a son-in-law, Kail's danger detection radar was already warning him.

He knew very well that if he dared to say anything wrong … The mayor's wife would definitely chop him into pieces.

"There are always temptations in the outside world." Sophia glanced at Alice and said, "A man who can stick to his heart is a valuable man."

Kail nodded hard again. That was all he could do.

Alice was so angry that she was trembling. She knew very well that Sophia's words were directed at her, but she had nothing to say at this moment. Besides, she also knew that she was indeed the third party.

Sophia was about to leave with a smile, when Emma came close.

She was expressionless. Staring at Sophia for a while, she asked rather impolitely, "May I ask who you are?"

Sophia found it odd that the girl, who was so beautiful, seemed to be hostile to her. She was quite sure that she had never seen her before, because she would never forget such a beautiful person after seeing her once!

Kail coughed and introduced her. "My lady, this is Emma, the Holy Lady of the Temple of Storms. She's our companion."

Sophia was rather surprised. She didn't expect that the little girl would have such a background. After a moment of hesitation, she asked curiously, "You're Miss Emma, right? You seem to have a problem with me?"

Emma took a deep breath. She knew that she was in a bad mood, but for some reason, she just found the woman before her very annoying. Of course, she wouldn't say that out loud. Instead, she tried to squeeze out a smile. "Sorry, I was in a bad mood just now. I was talking without thinking. "

Whether she was thinking or not was actually an excuse. Sophia had learned that everything had a reason, be it love or hate. She could tell that the Holy Lady of Storms had a problem with her, but she didn't understand why.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any conflict between the Holy Lady and Emma. Was it just that she didn't like her?

Sophia was even more confused, but she soon gave up on the thought, because at this moment, Liang Lidong appeared at the stairs.

The nobles were all relieved, because it hadn't been long since Liang Lidong and Frey came to the third floor. It had been less than ten minutes. It was almost impossible to do anything in such a short amount of time.

Unless that young man was a quick shooter!

Seeing that Liang Lidong had returned, Sophia left immediately. She didn't want to meet him in a public place, because she was afraid that if she stayed in front of Beta for too long, she wouldn't be able to control herself and reveal some 'flaws' to others.

Seeing that Sophia had left, Emma was slightly relieved. Also, seeing that Liang Lidong had come down from the third floor so quickly, she was also a little happy, and her eyebrows immediately brightened up.

Liang Lidong came down from the third floor and returned to the crowd, with Frey following behind him. She returned to the seat of the castellan and sat down. Then, with a hurt expression, she said, "It's a pity that His Excellency Beta didn't agree to my request. The Lisbon Family is still the Lisbon Family, and I can't add another title to the family even if I wanted to."

The nobles cheered. As long as Frey didn't become someone else's woman, they all felt that they had a great chance.

After Liang Lidong returned to the crowd, Kail walked over and asked in confusion, "Teacher, why don't you want to become a member of the Frey family? This castellan is quite beautiful, it's a rare blessing."

In fact, Alice was also happy that the castellan's wife had left. She was still holding onto Kail's hand, and now that she heard her lover say so, she nodded vigorously in agreement.

Emma looked at Liang Lidong curiously.

Liang Lidong said, "I remember I told you before that I have two wives, and they are very beautiful. I don't dare to mess with other women."

Emma's eyebrows were almost twisted into a twist. She didn't know that Beta was actually married. She really didn't think of this, and there was fear and misery in her heart. She couldn't help but ask, "Then why aren't they with you?"

"They ran away. I'm looking for them."

Looking at Beta's indifferent expression, Emma was happy in her heart, but she was also a little puzzled. What kind of woman would give up such a good man and run away? He was obviously rich, capable, handsome, and most importantly, responsible.

She had seen too many men who couldn't move when they saw beauty. Even Kail, the descendant of the Hero, would be slightly dazed when he saw her. Only Beta didn't have any reaction to her appearance when he saw her. Instead, he punched her and almost disfigured her.

"Don't worry, you'll find a good woman."

After comforting Beta, Emma smiled and went to find something to eat. Liking her made her happy, so she had to eat something to celebrate.

After Emma left, two nobles came to Beta. One was a young man, and the other was a middle-aged man.

After a brief self-introduction, they went straight to the main topic. They hoped that Beta would leave Frey. For this, they were willing to represent the entire noble class of the Blue Harbor and compensate Beta with enough benefits.

In this regard, Beta said with a smile, "Okay, no problem. You can discuss the specific amount yourselves. Send it to my hotel tomorrow morning. As long as I'm satisfied, I'll leave immediately."

Beta was a very principled person. If someone asked him to leave his two wives, he would definitely not say a word and draw his sword to cut the two idiots in front of him. But now that he was asked to leave Frey, why wouldn't he do it?

Since Frey could suddenly announce such a thing, making him very passive and uncomfortable, why couldn't he?

Instead, he could use Frey to seek some benefits for himself to soothe his "wounded" self-esteem.

After hearing him agree, the two nobles left happily. Then, the news quietly spread throughout the banquet.

Most of the male nobles looked at him with grateful eyes. Only a small number of nobles looked at Beta as if they were looking at an idiot. They didn't understand why this spellcaster didn't understand that taking Frey was the real great benefit.

The banquet continued, and everyone was very happy.

When it was late at night, the banquet finally ended. Frey watched as Beta left. As the host of the banquet, she couldn't just talk to one person. That was not in accordance with etiquette.

On the way back to the hotel, Kail couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what did you talk about with the castellan lady?"

"Nothing much. I just asked her not to talk nonsense and ruin my reputation," said Beta lightly.

Kail laughed. "Teacher, only a girl's reputation will be ruined. Miss Frey's words are telling everyone that she wants to marry you. You've met her before, right?"

Emma twisted her hands. She sat in the back and looked angrily at Kail's back. Alice looked at her with interest.

"I've never seen her before." Beta's expression remained calm, as if he was talking about something he didn't want to do: "So that's what worries me."
