After announcing the two top awards, Sofia announced other awards.
For example, there are nearly twenty awards for the highest-level magic paper, the most interesting paper, the most promising newcomer award, etc., and all have good rewards.
But these have nothing to do with Rosen. After all, it is impossible for one person to win the award alone, otherwise why would others be interested?
According to the schedule, there will be a dance after the awards ceremony.
After all, mages are also mortals. Although they are generally strict and rigid, they also need entertainment and communication.
The dance skills taught by Thrandis came in handy. After the dance started, Rosen and his instructor danced twice in a row.
After the second dance, while they were resting on the sidelines, Count Sophia's maid came over and said, "Master Rosen, Master Sophia invites you to dance with me."
Rosen was startled and looked up at the count not far away, only to see that she had stood up and was smiling at him.
The count invites me to dance, how can I refuse?
Rosen immediately said: "I feel very honored."
It's really just an honor and I don't have any extra thoughts.
Because women's formal dresses in this world are very complicated and have huge fluffy outer skirts. When dancing a pas de deux, there is basically no body contact except for the hands.
In fact, even the hands are not actually in contact, because in formal dances, women wear gloves on their hands.
Therefore, the count's invitation to dance showed her as an elder's appreciation for Rosen, a junior mage, and it was also a great honor for the latter.
After holding the earl's hand and entering the dance floor, the soothing and melodious music started playing again.
Considering that the count was old, Rosen also deliberately slowed down his movements and treated it like a square dance. Oh no, a health dance.
After dancing for a while, the two started chatting.
She asked: "Master Rosen, to what extent do you think logic magic can eventually develop?"
Rosen thought for a moment and said: "I don't know, but if the laws of the stars can be known to mortals, then there should be no incomprehensible mysteries in the realm of the gods."
Part of the subconscious mind behind this statement is that mortals can become gods or even surpass gods.
The count noticed this and smiled: "Is this a response to my previous extraordinary insights?"
Rosen smiled humbly: "Master Sophia, I do not deny the difficulty of breaking through the extraordinary, but I just think you are too pessimistic."
"Well, I am indeed too pessimistic, probably because of old age and frailty."
Looking at the young mage opposite who was humble yet proud, the earl looked a little dazed.
She couldn't help but recall the turbulent years when she was young and devoted herself to pursuing magic. Because of this, she didn't pay attention to her dance steps and just let Rosen lead her and strolled leisurely on the dance floor.
For a moment, the Count felt that he had returned to his girlhood, and standing opposite him was the man he had loved when he was young.
The man's face was not clear, I just felt that he was smiling at me, he looked very handsome, his eyes were very gentle, and his voice was also very soft.
Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated slightly.
But after a moment, the illusion dissipated, and Rosen's young face appeared in front of him again.
The accelerated heartbeat was still beating in the chest, which made the old earl feel that a long-lost warm blood emerged from his aging body.
Looking at Rosen again, he felt that this young mage was very pleasing to the eye, and he couldn't help but smile secretly.
"Hey~ Take a closer look, this guy looks really good. If he grows up for a few years, he will probably be able to charm the eyes of pretty girls."
Of course, to her, it was just the elders' simple appreciation of the handsome younger generation.
Then, a kind smile appeared on the earl's face: "My era is coming to an end. I hope that in your era, I can successfully break through the boundaries of the gods and mortals."
Rosen also smiled lightly: "Master Sophia, you still have a long time to live. Moreover, you praise me too much. I can only say that you try your best."
After that, the two of them stopped talking and continued to rock slowly.
While dancing, Rosen accidentally saw the instructor sitting on the edge of the dance floor.
I saw her sitting in the corner, watching her dance intently.
Men often came to invite them, but she always refused decisively. When she refused, her expression was very cold, with a cold air all over her body, leaving no room for imagination.
Looking at such a withdrawn tutor, Rosen's heart moved slightly: 'Hey, a woman like the tutor is suitable to take home as a wife!'
But as soon as this thought occurred, the dance ended.
Before Rosen could rest, another female mage came to invite her to dance. She looked at her age, forty-five or six, and was a high-level 12-star mage.
It's not easy to offend, so I can only accept the invitation and continue dancing, just like square dancing.
In the following time, Rosen received invitations from 10 more female mages, all of whom were either successful or distinguished, and the common feature was that they were all over forty years old.
When invited, everyone was full of enthusiasm.
There was no way, Rosen could only bite the bullet and continue dancing with these distinguished ladies.
His beautiful fantasy of dancing in another world was completely shattered.
He secretly vowed that he would never attend a dance party again. If he wanted to dance, he would go home and dance with his instructor.
I finally made it to the end of the dance, and the Flower Society was completely finished.
Rosen breathed a sigh of relief, held Thrandis's hand, and fled away from the ball. After getting into the carriage, he followed Billegu's carriage and returned to Maple Leaf Manor.
It was already nine o'clock at night, and Bilugu had already informed his servants to come back and make arrangements. Therefore, as soon as the two arrived at Maple Leaf Manor, they chatted for a while, and then the servants guided them to the rest room.
The room is on the second floor of Maple Leaf Castle, follow the long and wide corridor.
After walking a few steps, Thrandis suddenly asked: "Won't Jennifer come to help?"
Her makeup hasn't been taken off yet.
The servant who led the way said: "Miss Jennifer has arranged to rest in the maid's room."
Rosen smiled: "Mentor, I'm just here to help you."
Thrandis was startled slightly, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she gently squeezed Rosen's arm with her hand, signaling with her eyes that there were still servants there.
Of course it doesn't matter at home, but when outsiders hear it, she feels very shy.
Rosen smiled: "The servants of Maple Leaf Manor are all well-trained, and Master Bilugu is also a kind elder. He will not criticize these insignificant etiquette."
Looking at the servant in front, his expression did not change, his eyes did not squint, and his face was indifferent, as if he had not heard anything.
Thrandis breathed a sigh of relief, and the shame in his heart dissipated a lot.
Soon they arrived at the door of a room. The servant opened the door for the two of them and introduced them respectfully.
"Sir, Miss, this is the best guest room in the castle. It is a suite with two independent bedrooms, a separate bathroom and a fairly spacious living room."
After a pause, he added: "The soundproofing of the room is also very perfect. It can completely isolate the noise from the outside and ensure that the guests' sleep will not be disturbed."
Rosen took a look at the wooden door and found that the door panel was very thick and the outer edge was wrapped with a tight circle of cotton cloth. He knew that what the servant said was true.
He said: "Thank you very much Master Bilugu for your hospitality."
The servant saluted the two of them again: "I wish you, sir, a happy sleep."
Then he turned around and left.
The two entered the room, closed the door, locked it, and then released a Home Protection Technique, then completely relaxed.
Rosen walked a few steps quickly and collapsed on the big soft leather chair: "After dancing all night, all the bones in my body are about to fall apart."
Thrandis couldn't help but smile: "The 13 most accomplished female mages in the entire Silver Moon Castle have danced with you, but it's so decent that most male mages can't even think of it."
Rosen sighed: "Then I would rather not have this dignity."
After resting for a while, he saw that Thrandis was already sitting in front of the dressing table. He got up and walked over: "Mentor, let me help you remove your makeup."
"Hmm~" Thrandis snorted, sitting upright and accepting Rosen's service.
Rosen first untied the obstructive outer skirt from the waist, then took off the huge bustle, then took off the outer blouse and untied the tightly restrained corset.
As soon as the vest was taken off, Thrandiston let out a long breath: "Well~ This vest is a bit tight, and it makes me breathless."
After a pause, there was a hint of worry on his face: "Rosen, I seem to have gained a lot of weight recently."
Rosen was carefully unraveling Thrandis's hair. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Teacher, you are not fat, but plump. You used to be thinner, but now you are just right."
He really felt that it was very good like this.
Thrandis's cheeks rose with two blushes: "Rosen, I can feel that this is your sincerity, but I still have to pay attention to keeping in shape."
"Otherwise, my beauty will be destroyed by my greed of words before it has time to pass away with my youth."
Rosen naturally had no objection: "I respect every decision of my mentor."
Six-star spell-casting skills may not be high, but they are enough for hair removal.
After a while, Thrandis's thick fiery red hair regained its freedom, spreading down her back like flowing flames and hanging down to her buttocks.
Rosen spread his fingers again and gently massaged her scalp, which had been torn for a day.
Thrandis also relaxed her body, leaned against Rosen, and closed her eyes comfortably.
After leaning for a while, she suddenly noticed something strange behind her. After a moment's thought, she knew the reason, but she didn't open her eyes or straighten her back, but the blush on her face became even brighter.
After a while, Thrandis suddenly spoke: "Rosen, will the good days continue forever?"
Rosen thought for a moment and said: "I don't know. To be honest, I am not a law-abiding person, and I don't know what kind of fate I will face in the future."
"I know that you are an eagle soaring in the sky. An eagle cannot stay in its nest forever."
"But as long as you don't abandon me, mentor, no matter how high or far I fly, I will come back to you."
"Of course I won't abandon you unless you don't want me anymore."
Rosen smiled slightly: "Teacher, how could I not want you?"
After a pause, he suddenly leaned down and whispered into Thrandis's ear.
"Teacher, you said that the teacher's sheep cannot leave the fold, but it is okay to stay in another sheepfold for one night, right?"
Thrandis said in a disgusted voice: "If you want to change, just change it. Why do you ask the instructor?"
