Chapter 75: The Lovely Stephanie
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Currently, Joelson was absolutely confident that even if her identity as an elf was exposed, he would be able to protect her from any harm.
Leas’ heart pounded rapidly, filled with surprise and anticipation.
Putting aside her identity as an elf, she was only a 16 or 17-year-old girl in human terms.
Beautiful clothes, fragrant perfume, and sparkling pearls and gemstones.
Although Leas didn’t care about the things that the other noble maids had flaunted to her, she still felt a trace of envy in her heart.
She had also fantasized that if Joelson treated her the same as the other noble young masters, would it be better.
No, it was impossible!
Leas shook her head and denied this thought in her heart.
Other nobles would not treat a maid as… a relative.
A relative? Was that what it was called?
Leas stole a glance at Joelson and suddenly felt that being by Joelson’s side like this was a very satisfying thing.
And two months ago, she was still thinking of returning to the Elf Forest one day.
…
Soon, it was time for the royal banquet.
This time, there was a special carriage to pick up Joelson, and he was no longer with Harriet.
There were six golden stripes on Joelson’s mage robe.
It had already surpassed the strength of some of the teachers in the academy.
When they walked into the palace, everyone’s eyes instantly focused on Joelson.
Just like when Harriet Terrence and Antoine entered the palace, people kept coming up to greet him.
There was a hint of respect in their tone.
“Joelson.”
Morton followed behind the Marquis of Cumberland and greeted Joelson awkwardly.
Joelson smiled at him.
Morton seemed to be relieved.
After hesitating for a while, he did not stay to talk to Joelson like before.
When he was still a third-or fourth-tier mage, Morton could still brazenly come over and chat with him like a friend.
But now that he had advanced to the sixth-tier, he was the most talented existence in the history of the Alcott Empire.
Morton, who had always been cheerful, also lost the courage to stand in front of him.
Morton could not help but feel a little melancholy. As his strength increased, there would be fewer and fewer people around him who could be called friends.
He suddenly understood why Harriet Terrence did not take a wife or leave behind any children.
The lifespan of a sage-level powerhouse was several hundred years, several times that of an ordinary person.
The feeling of watching his wife and children die of old age in front of him must be very uncomfortable.
Joelson looked around the banquet hall and saw a group of people from the Knight Academy.
They stood there awkwardly.
They knew very well that although it was said to be a farewell banquet, they were not the main characters at all.
The real reason why they appeared here was probably to act as a foil to Joelson.
The discussions of the nobles of the Alcott Empire could be heard from time to time.
“Do you see that? It’s that red-haired one. Yes, the one who doesn’t have much hair. He’s a tier 5 knight!”
“Did he get burned like that by Joelson? How pitiful. Look at this. It’s like a roasted potato.”
“That blonde girl isn’t simple either. A tier 5 knight has Silver Cross battle-qi.”
“Yeah, I know. She was defeated by Joelson.”
“Her figure is very good. She’s also very beautiful. She also has a temperament!”
“Then why don’t you go and strike up a conversation with her?”
“I’m not Joelson! I wouldn’t dare!”
“And Don Quixote! He’s known as the number one genius of the Yheng Empire. He became a level 6 knight at the age of eighteen!”
“He’s really amazing, but he was still defeated by Joelson. I heard that he couldn’t even get up from lying on the ground.”
The leader of the knights, Engel, had a very ugly expression on his face. His face kept twitching.
He was almost regretting his decision to allow the Alcott royal family to attend this so-called dinner.
In the past, when the Knight Academy defeated the Tulip Academy, why didn’t they hold any farewell dinner?
The one with the ugliest expression was Hawthorne.
“Burnt bald” and “Roasted potatoes”.
These words kept entering his ears. The blood vessels on his palm bulged. Obviously, he was so angry that he couldn’t hold it in any longer. He was about to get angry.
However, when he saw a person coming, all his anger was immediately extinguished. Like a chicken that had fallen into the water, all the aura on his body disappeared.
It was Joelson. He noticed that Don Quixote was looking at him, so he thought about it and came up to greet him.
“Joelson, you are very powerful,” Don Quixote said calmly, but his eyes were more serious. He had already regarded Joelson as a worthy opponent.
Joelson smiled and said, “You are also very powerful.” This sentence was not a compliment. Don Quixote was already the most powerful opponent he had ever fought.
Although he was still not his opponent.
“Joelson, the next time we meet, my brother will not lose to you!”
A voice suddenly sounded. Joelson turned his head and saw Stephanie staring at him with her big eyes, pouting her lips and puffing her cheeks. This made this female knight, who had always been very cold, look very cute.
Don Quixote could not help but shake his head. He was not sure if he could defeat Joelson the next time they met.
Moreover, what was wrong with Stephanie tonight? She would not show such a look in front of outsiders in the past. Even in front of him, Stephanie was very calm and indifferent most of the time. Ever since she lost to Joelson, she had become very emotional when she saw Joelson.
Thinking of this, he could not help but look carefully at Joelson, trying to find out what was so amazing about him. At this time, he realized that Joelson’s appearance did not lose to him. After all, he was not only the most talented student in the Knight Academy, he was also the most handsome. However, Joelson not only did not lose to him in appearance but also in temperament.
No wonder Stephanie had seen him like this. It was probably the first time she had met someone who was better than her in both talent and strength besides her brother. His appearance and temperament were also so outstanding.
However, it was not strange. Just look at the noble girls at the banquet. All the noble girls’ eyes would occasionally stop on Joelson, and their eyes revealed a sense of admiration.
Joelson also felt a little strange when he looked at Stephanie. He had always thought that this girl was a very arrogant and cold knight, but now she looked somewhat cute for some reason.
“If that’s the case, then I look forward to our next meeting,” said Joelson with a polite smile.
Then, he ignored Stephanie’s reaction and walked away.
