This was not the first time Carolee had attended such a gathering of nobles.
Ever since she could remember when she was born, her mother had brought her to various social venues established by the nobles.
Hence, she was already quite adept at such occasions, including dealing with those who gathered around to strike up a conversation.
"What is Noland's group of sages thinking? They actually let a Chaos Demon appear in the Crystal Palace. "
"Don't worry, Miss Carolee. If the demons make a move in the Crystal Palace, I will definitely protect you."
"…"
Carolee responded to the youths around her with an impeccable smile, but her eyes were fixed on Cersei not far away.
The second princess of the Demon Realm had been completely isolated by the crowd in the Crystal Palace. If she was an ordinary girl, she would look quite pitiful.
Carolee was guessing who would break this awkward situation. In the end, the answer was her mother … Lady Sizer.
"What does Lady Sizer want to do?"
This action of taking the initiative to approach the Chaos Demon instantly attracted the attention of the people around Carolee.
'Carolee, it's time to say hello to the second princess.'
A message suddenly popped up from Carolee's Weave. The sender of the message was her mother.
Although Carolee did not really want to interact with Josiah's sister, this was her mother's order, and she had to obey.
"Apologies, I'll take my leave."
Carolee placed the wine glass on the table, lifted the hem of her skirt, and quickly walked in the direction of her mother.
As the flower of the Falosi, Carolee's appearance in the Crystal Palace was enough to attract attention. In addition, Carolee's action of approaching the Chaos Demon had attracted a lot of attention.
For a moment, the focus of the surrounding discussion gathered on Carolee. Unfortunately, none of the gentlemen who had promised to protect Carolee followed.
"The second princess of the Demon Realm actually came here in person."
As Cersei quietly waited for the ceremony to begin in the Crystal Palace, a human woman in a black dress took the initiative to approach Cersei.
"I've seen you in the Demon Realm, Lady Caesar, right?" Cersei recognized the identity of this human woman.
"Yes, my name is Carana van Donal. Caesar is my husband's name. You can call me by that."
Mrs. Sizer gave Cersei an impeccable skirt-lifting bow.
"Cersei Yanorod." Cersei also introduced her name and surname to the other party.
Falosi was the first country to form an alliance with the Demon Realm. If Cersei remembered correctly, the Donal Family was the catalyst for all of this.
But as for the specific reason … Cersei's gaze fell on a young girl standing beside Mrs. Sizer.
"This is my daughter, Carolee." Mrs. Sizer took Carolee's hand and brought her to Cecily.
"The Black Swan of Falosi." Although Cersei hadn't had much contact with Carolee, she still had an impression of her. "Lady Carolee, you seem to have a good relationship with my brother."
"Mr. Josiah helped me a lot when I was in danger, so I've always been very grateful to him."
With her mother present, Carolee became a noble girl who couldn't be faulted in all aspects.
"And I've always admired Mr. Josiah's talent." Carolee glanced at her mother and added this sentence.
"Admired?"
Cersei heard from the Prophet that Josiah had someone he liked in the human world, but the Prophet did not describe the specific information about the person he liked.
But before Cersei could ask about the specific relationship between Carolee and Josiah, magic began to gather in the Crystal Palace.
A large number of magic formations made of inscriptions appeared above the Crystal Palace, and the man in white appeared in the center of the Crystal Palace again.
"It's starting. If you don't mind, Your Highness Cersei, can you take a seat with us?"
Cersei had no reason to refuse Mrs. Sizer's invitation.
… …
The center of the Crystal Palace was decorated like a theater. The invited people from all over the world found suitable seats and sat down.
"The Donal Family of Falosi took the initiative to contact that Chaos Demon?" King Sevanna IV of the Iron Nation sat on the second floor of the Crystal Palace, looking down at Cersei who was walking side by side with Mrs. Sizer to the center of the Crystal Palace. "As expected, the rumor of the alliance between the Falosi and the Realm of Demons is true."
"Father, there doesn't seem to be any conflict of interest between our country and the Realm of Demons?" Prince Casos knew this was a chance to test the waters.
"There isn't, but the Land of Frost and the Kingdom of Saints have been enemies with the Realm of Demons for a long time. If we want to establish a relationship with the Realm of Demons, we must first take the risk of worsening our relationship with these two countries." Sevanna IV stared at Cersei in the crowd and said, "But the Realm of Demons doesn't look as cruel and dangerous as the rumors say."
Sevanna IV's attention was focused on the stage as the magic formation above the Crystal Palace changed. The most prestigious spellcaster in all of Noland, the man in white, was standing there.
"But I came to this ceremony to meet the creator of the Weave. The appearance of the Realm of Frost and the Kingdom of Saints in the human world should be the problem of the two countries," Sevanna IV said.
"Father, do you value the Weave a lot?" Prince Casos asked.
"Value? This is no longer a question of value. " Sevanna IV glanced at the nobles of the various countries. "The Weave's ability to communicate beyond letters is enough to change the situation of the future battlefield. I wonder how many of you are here to recruit the creator of the Weave."
"Silence!"
The man in white's voice silenced the discussion in the hall. Prince Casos had no choice but to swallow the words he wanted to say.
"Today is the most important moment in human history. At the same time, it is also to commemorate the greatest human spellcaster, Skegerona. He was our pioneer …"
The man in white slowly described the history of Noland, or rather, the history of human magic development.
This history, which was enough to make people yawn, lasted for half an hour before the man in white finally announced the first winner.
It was the Skegerona Award for Magical Engineering. The winner of the award was an old Alchemist that Sevanna IV had mentioned before.
He had successfully reduced the magic-powered engine from the height of a person to a fifth of its original size.
This invention had led to the creation of many magic-powered machines, such as magic carriages and golems.
This great achievement did not need any words. As long as there were intelligent creatures present, they would be given a thunderous applause.
The white-haired Alchemist, who was almost a hundred and fifty years old, held the golden medal shakily as he stood on the stage and described his magnificent life.
"The next award we are going to give is called the Skegerona Inscription Award." The man in gray walked to the center of the stage and began to announce the winner.
"Many spellcasters have made outstanding contributions to the research of the Leader of Inscription. Whether it is the discovery of a new inscription system or the improvement of an old one, countless great spellcasters are qualified to receive this award. However, after much discussion, the Sage Council has decided to give this award to a young man! The creator of the Weave. "
At that moment, Sevanna IV shook his head and woke up from his sleepy state. His eyes were fixed on the stage.
"He should be the same age as you, Prince Casos." Sevanna IV looked at the figure standing on the stage in shock. "What a terrifying genius. Wait … Which family is he from? Why don't I have any impression of him? "
"Of course you don't, Father. He doesn't belong to any human family," Prince Casos said.
"Is he just an ordinary spellcaster? His talent is immeasurable, but this is also good news for us. "
Sevanna IV kept stroking his beard as if he was thinking about how to recruit the creator of the Weave.
"Father, I don't think you can recruit him to our country."
"Why not? Status, women, money, power … Isn't that what young people want? "
The king's thinking was very simple. Prince Casos could only sigh slightly. He did not have any hope in his father's ability. After all, his mother was the one in charge of the Iron Nation behind the scenes.
During the conversation, the man in gray had already awarded the highest human honor medal to the young man.
"Although a lot of people here already know who I am, let me introduce myself first! My name is Josiah Yanorod, the third prince of the Demon Realm's royal family. "
