Isaac looked at Xavier quietly, a trace of surprise flashed across the corner of his mouth.
"Your Highness, that is the girl who resonates with the six-winged armor." Isaac reminded, his eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of cold light.
"I will naturally investigate the person who empathizes with civilians, but it is not like His Highness to ignore a girl who has the potential to become a knight."
Xavier was stunned for a moment. He looked at Isaac with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Everyone who touches that thing will be branded with the mark of the devil. No matter where she escapes, the devil will eventually find her." Xavier said softly.
"Is this considered a confession, or guilt?" Isaac nodded, sighed, and his face was no longer so gloomy.
"Maybe some people say that rulers don't need feelings, just like young masters. But your highness is more real. You have changed so much in the past few years." Isaac murmured, his figure gradually blending into the darkness.
.
He threw off a roll of parchment, put it back after Xavier read it calmly, tore it into pieces and swallowed it.
"Perhaps you will not end up like the young master." Isaac was so soft that he could only hear the last sentence.
"This classmate, Mr. Nint's cake shop is about to close. If there are any leftovers, please take them away."
A soft female voice came. She was a tall girl wearing a lace apron, with long light brown curly hair hanging on one shoulder.
"I remember that tonight the lord is not coming, and he has to choose a secretary. Why are you still here, senior?" Xavier tilted his head, and the sunset was shining on his black hair, which was particularly gorgeous.
"Those resumes have to be paid for. Although I am also from the Government Affairs Department, my family does not have spare money to give to the receptionist. There are five to six hundred girls in the Government Affairs Department. The lord will never read them to the end no matter what."
The girl shrugged. She carefully cleaned up the garbage and tableware on the table. The traces of cake on her face looked more playful under the sunset.
Department of Government Affairs... Xavier also heard about this at St. Norther's College. Most of them are chosen by girls from ordinary families who want to escape from the misery. Some of them will be lucky enough to become assistants to a certain noble after graduation.
But most of them are middle-aged nobles, and most of them are lovers.
"Your Highness, you can think of it as a lover selection test. They appear beautiful on the surface, but in the end they are just toys of a certain noble." Once upon a time, the genius of the Department of Mathematics and Physics, Syferit João, said this.
The girl looked at Xavier's contemplation, and a blush suddenly appeared on her face. She frowned and turned her head.
"If we can climb up to a nobleman, it is probably a luxury dream for girls like us. But my dream is to work next to a countess, such as Countess Lavender!"
The girl was so confident that she made a tube shape with her hands and watched the sunset in the distance sprinkle on the dark clouds in the sky, adding a splendor to the dim blue of Nori.
"Oh? That's very strict." Xavier raised his eyebrows, a little curious.
"At least I won't become the lover of some middle-aged nobleman." She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists unwillingly.
"What's your name?" Xavier raised his hand and immediately met the girl and turned slightly.
"Why, it's really comfortable to chat with you. I didn't open my mouth or shut up about clothes, perfume, etc. But it's a bit inappropriate to directly ask a girl I don't know her name." The girl took a step back with some vigilance.
"My name is Xiwei, and I am also a noble. Would you consider working here in the future?" Xavier scratched his head in a funny way.
"Lin," the girl tilted her head, "I'm not coming."
"Why?"
"Your eyes have never looked at me, I feel like you are lying." Lin pursed her lips and shrugged.
Night gradually enveloped Noli. It has to be said that as each day passed, Xavier could clearly feel that the daytime was getting shorter and shorter. No wonder I had heard that Noli was also called the "City of Eternal Night", and the night zone
Due to the coldness and loneliness, people closed themselves in houses.
In the whole of Noli, in the days before the extreme cold storm, there were only heavy snowfalls and ferries leaving the Noli port one after another.
"Okay, there is still someone waiting for you." Looking at Xavier who stood up, Lin suddenly chuckled.
Xavier tilted his head in confusion, and sure enough, a man walked over not far away. His long white-blond hair was vaguely visible in the night. He was still wearing his school uniform, but his brown-black coat had gone somewhere, leaving only
White shirt and light gold buttons on the shirt.
"Xiwei...classmate." A familiar voice came, and when the girl came closer, with green eyes, it turned out to be Jessicana.
There was no formal dress, but Jessica put on some light makeup. Her delicate body was shivering in the cold wind, which made me feel pity for her.
Jessicana is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but her level of development has even surpassed that of Yekarena, and she even has a hoarse voice that sounds like crying. Most men will probably fall for it at this time.
"Didn't you go to the dance?" Xavier asked softly.
"I still have an agreement with classmate Xiwei, but... I just plan to fulfill that agreement." Jessicana's eyes were a little dodgeful, and she slowly walked to Xavier and stretched out her hand tremblingly.
"Let's... let's go together. The banquet should start soon."
Jessicana shuddered again, and she held Xavier's hand. The boy's cold palm made her let out a slight sigh.
Lin on the side looked at the two people walking away with some surprise.
"Strange, was that Jessica Duqueclin just now? She has platinum-blond hair, green eyes... she is the only one." Lin shook her head and closed the door and window of the hut with confusion.
Bright mining lamps have been lit on the flagstone roadside on campus, and the students are holding the hands of their dance partners and walking towards the Qingdong Hall in the northeast of the college. The lively atmosphere breaks up the cold environment.
The girls' long skirts were covered with cotton coats. They gently held the arms of their male companions. Occasionally when they saw their best friends, they bowed and greeted them politely and elegantly.
The boys are also much more steady. Their hair is straight and combed back, and most of their dresses are dark-colored. Under the cloaks are exquisite uniforms. They wear white gloves and wear rings representing their families on their fingers.
Xavier looked at Jessicana beside him. She didn't know why she looked very reserved, but she was also holding his arm, and the unfamiliar posture seemed to be the same as for the first time.
"It doesn't matter if you don't attend this dance, right?" Xavier looked at the students walking towards Qingdong Hall on the stone road and suddenly stopped.
"Um...Eh? But!" Jessicana replied nonchalantly, and the next moment she suddenly became startled.
Xavier seemed to know something. He pondered for a moment before slowly speaking:
"How about we go to the top of the clock tower to watch the stars? It is said that aurora may appear on a clear night!"
