There were fewer and fewer carriages that could go in this direction. In the end, the flags that were raised were basically from the families that were familiar with each other.
The venue for the palace dance is the conference hall outside the palace.
Grand banquets and carnivals on important festivals are often held here.
The welcome band at the door played cheerful music.
All the invited guests stopped their carriages in front of the door, walked along the long garden corridor and entered the ball hall.
The Willick family was no exception. Several of their children followed their father, feeling anxious and excited.
But few people would realize that behind this long corridor, the palace's secret guards were actually hidden.
This is their first observation checkpoint.
If there is anything unusual about the guests who come, they will notify the guards in the banquet hall as soon as possible.
So, when Mai Fan passed by this corridor...
They clicked.
"Did that kid look over here just now?"
"Can't you? His information shows that he is a great magician."
"Our hidden skills are hard for even magisters to see through, right?"
Using magic and tools, they can indeed be discovered.
But this is a royal ball. Who would use survey magic in front of the palace banquet hall?
So, it was just a coincidence that the other party looked over at him? Was it a coincidence?
The secret guards responsible for hiding in the dark chuckled twice and ignored Mai Fan's unintentional look.
But they didn't know that Mai Fan really saw them, and this was not their illusion.
Mai Fan was so cautious that he opened the map in his diary as soon as he left the house.
In Willick's house, the head of the family is in charge, and there are many family guards, both overt and covert.
His safety is absolutely guaranteed.
But now we are out, approaching the palace.
Then the Willick family's home field advantage will be gone.
The forces that are more biased towards his eldest brother have risen.
For his own safety, he also had to be more cautious.
What he didn't expect was that the journey was uneventful, but when he reached the palace banquet hall, he discovered a lot of little yellow dots that others couldn't see.
These little yellow dots have no obvious preference.
The neutral color made Mai Fan feel at ease a lot.
But what he was more curious about was how there were three people hidden behind such a thin piece of bamboo.
That's why he glanced at it without a doubt, but luckily he closed it quickly.
No one noticed his keen observation ability.
What Mai Fan didn't expect was that there were more people like this in the ball hall.
Not the invited guests, but the guards he couldn't see.
It seems that the emperor of this country is also a very cautious person.
After figuring out the security level here, Mai Fan felt relieved.
But now he faces a more serious problem.
That is, who are the people standing in front of them, smiling.
"Follow me and I'll introduce you."
The head of Wilik's family actually abandoned all his children and started wandering around the venue with his son wearing the great magician's badge.
Is this a signal?
Has the battle for their family's heir finally begun?
The real person the head of the family wanted stood in front of them.
So how does the first heir, who has a greater advantage because of his bloodline, feel in his heart?
This is a clear signal.
This is equivalent to telling everyone that I, the head of the Willick family, will support this new kid.
And the first heir whom others default to...
Did I mention he was the heir to the family?
Who gave the acquiescence, and how did this statement spread?
Has he been recognized by the head of the family?
From this moment on, everyone knew what the head of the Willick family meant.
Then this matter is interesting. The family that has direct friendship with Willick immediately showed a friendly attitude towards Mai Fan.
And after they saw clearly Mai Fan's current magician level, their attitude became a little better.
As for those royalists.
Don't worry about it at all.
Because even if Mai Fan is not recognized by the family, they will never give him a good look.
It's just that now, they are even more hostile.
Ke Maifan owns a diary system, and he discovered an interesting phenomenon while using it.
Those royal forces who favored his eldest brother did not hate him as much as they appeared on the surface.
The neutral color above their heads is the neutral color.
Nothing changed at all because of his father's actions.
Two or three of them even changed for the better because of his father's actions.
After seeing how much attention he received, the eyes above his head even changed from yellow to friendly green.
It seems that his eldest brother is not very popular among the royal family.
How could an heir of this caliber be bullied into this state?
Mai Fan followed his father, dealing with waves of people who needed to talk.
At this moment, a person dressed as the Minister of the Interior came down the stairs on the second floor and announced the arrival of the organizer of the ball.
"Several princes and princesses arrived first... His Majesty the Emperor is still preparing in the lounge."
"Let me look forward to... His Majesty's heroic appearance tonight..."
This is where the organizer is coming.
Everyone gathered at the bottom of the spiral staircase, waiting for the emperor of this country to arrive.
I heard from my father that he was a very independent emperor.
He was also the most capable emperor he finally selected after considering the forces of all parties.
It's just that these years, he has become too old.
This emperor's other talents were too average.
He does not have a strong body and sufficient mana to maintain his lifespan.
Therefore, he aged much faster than others. He had only maintained the strength of this country for twenty years, and he needed to worry about what happened after his death.
But in the eyes of Mai Fan's father, his descendants had nothing to offer.
So when the emperor asked him to assist another generation, his father refused.
The family rules of the Willick family are used.
That is, one generation will never assist two generations of emperors.
The members of the Wilik family only loyal to one generation of emperors.
The emperor assisted by the current head of the family has abdicated, so his glory and era have passed.
He can take a back seat or retreat behind the family.
In short, there will never be a situation where one generation of veterans assists three generations.
This is a form of self-protection for the Willick family.
