It has been two days since Edlen sent out the invitation, and today is the weekend, which is also the day of the party.
A large hall in the center of the walled city was applied for to hold this banquet.
When it gets dark, the lights have been lit in the hall early. The beautiful glass chandeliers, golden dome murals, neatly arranged chairs and long tables covered with exquisite tablecloths all look magnificent and full of excitement. A touch of luxury.
At the entrance of the hall stood 6 members with rose badges. They were dressed in decent crimson uniforms and had black and red sword scabbards on their waists. They all looked handsome and could be regarded as the face of the club.
Under their reception and guidance, invitees from other societies began to enter with their invitation letters, sat down and waited quietly.
There is a gold-red chair at the top of the long table in the hall. This is the seat reserved for Edlen. At this time, he is in the lounge next to him and has not entered the room yet. In addition to him, there are Ronald and others in the room. Another subordinate.
Creak, a slight push of the door, a member in red uniform walked in, stepped on the red soft carpet laid indoors, leaned down and whispered a few words to Ronald quietly. Ronald nodded, Then the member quietly quit.
"How is the situation now?" Edron leaned on the sofa, supporting his head with his right hand and holding a glass of red wine in his left hand.
"Your Highness, the number of people present currently is less than expected."
"Interesting, this is really interesting. It seems that I still underestimated this opponent too much."
"Since we have silently influenced so many people in the academy, we have slowly taken over our place." Edron looked at the red liquid rippling in the cup and drank it slowly.
"How did she do it?"
"There is such a powerful magic power that makes these people fall for it in such a short period of time. Even Miss Lorraine has not reached this level of making people lose their minds."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I can't answer this either." Ronald thought of the fruitless results of the past two days and lowered his head in regret.
-------------
In the hall, some seats at the long table in the center were already occupied, and although the remaining seats were not occupied, there were signs with the club's name in front of the chairs.
"I'm sorry, Bu Mansha, please come with me tonight." A girl with long chestnut hair said to the people next to her. They were standing at the long table. Unfortunately, only the president of the club could sit here, and the rest The followers all sit at the small round tables next to the hall.
"It's okay, I'm actually curious about the food and drinks at the banquet."
Bu Mansha shook her head indifferently. Her background could only be described as ordinary. Naturally, she was a little curious about what the banquet among the top nobles was like, so she came to participate tonight with the president of the 'Nectar Buds' society.
"Giggle..." The president smiled.
"I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. In fact, banquets among nobles are not that interesting, and sometimes they are not full." She said softly, and did not sit down immediately but first took Bu Mansha to the small table next to her. I found a place to sit down.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Bumansha recently. Because of your joining, our club's reputation has greatly increased, and now there are more and more members."
"Do you want to consider becoming a core member of the club? After I graduate, you will inherit this club." She tried to invite further.
"Thank you, President, for your kindness. However, I became a core member of another club when I was in the first grade. The school's rule is that I can only be a core member of one club, so I can't do it."
The president was not angry after hearing this, but felt a little regretful: "It's such a pity. I wish I could have known you earlier."
After a while, she asked, "Which club is it? I don't think I've heard you mention it before."
"The name is 'Black Water Lily'. There are only four people there, so not much is known about it."
"I haven't heard of it. Is it a newly established society?" she asked curiously.
"Yes, I established it with a few friends when I was in the first grade, but the president is not me, but Luo Lan." Bu Mansha nodded. In fact, this is not a secret. It is registered on the roster in the college. It is just ordinary.
No one will check it.
"Loran, is that the girl who won the 'Rainneck Bottle' competition?"
"Well, our first-year dormitories are right next door to each other."
"Wow, this is really fate." The president was a little surprised.
"Miss Luolan turns out to be the president of the club. I never knew about it before."
"The number of people is very small, so I wasn't invited this time." Bu Mansha said with a smile.
"Giggles, I guess Edron doesn't know. If he knew, he would definitely invite Miss Lorraine over." The president naturally called Edron by his name. It seemed that the two of them were old acquaintances.
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. I saw that he has already arrived. I want to take a seat first. We will talk after the banquet is over." After finishing speaking, the president stood up and walked to the long table to sit down.
, and at this time, there were still many empty seats at the long table.
Edron walked into the hall, looked at the many vacant seats, raised his eyebrows slightly, then returned to his natural state, as if he didn't care, and then calmly walked to his exclusive seat and sat down.
Ronald stood beside him and reported quietly.
"Only 16 of the 42 invited clubs have arrived so far. Clubs with a large number of Demon Sequence members have basically not come, and only some clubs with a focus on Natural Sequence have arrived."
Edron nodded slightly, and Ronald stood aside. Then he raised his hand to indicate that the hall quickly became quiet, and everyone began to focus on the prince. There was admiration, curiosity, doubt, and some in his eyes.
Not caring at all.
They must have known that a lot of people were invited this time, but these were the only ones present. Naturally, they were a little curious about how the prince was going to deal with it. Get angry, incompetent and furious, or come up with some effective means to make the rest of the club surrender. After all, the students are going to graduate.
, most of them will still live in the empire in the future, and they will definitely not dare to offend His Highness the Prince too much.
There are also some people who don't care about the outcome of this banquet, such as the president of the 'Nectar Buds' club. Her family is an old aristocrat. She has been familiar with royal families like Edron since she was a child. She comes to the school just to experience campus life.
"I am deeply pleased that you all are here, but I have to admit that the situation in the college has suddenly changed." Edron said unhurriedly, and his steady voice sounded throughout the hall.
"Everyone must have heard of the 'Black Veil' club. The purpose of inviting everyone this time is to discuss this club, which uses unknown and undisclosed means to attract people in the school..." Although it is a discussion, in fact it is only
Edron spoke alone, and others did not want or dare to interrupt.
Bang--
Just when Edron was about to announce the means of sanctions, the door of the hall suddenly opened. Several members in red who were originally guarding the door were pushed into the hall, and then members in black robes poured into the spacious room.
of the hall.
After seeing this, the members of the True Red Rose who were standing at the corner of the hall also gathered together. They pulled out their crimson swords, formed a human wall, and immediately blocked the long banquet table.
But these members in black robes remained silent, without saying a word, and their faces were hidden under their hoods. After entering the hall, they did not continue to move forward, but gathered on one side of the hall, a dense mass of darkness.
After they stood still, the hall was clearly divided into two different colors. On one side were the members of the True Red Rose Club wearing red uniforms standing under the golden light, and on the other side were the 'black veils' with dim lights.
Members, they are more numerous, and they also bring a greater sense of oppression to people.
Seeing this sudden and strange scene, other club members present slowly avoided it and retreated to the corner in the middle against the wall. Just as various speculations and questions arose in everyone's minds, the black crowd also separated neatly like a tide.
, a purple-haired girl wearing a lace veil and a gorgeous black dress slowly entered the room.
