As soon as Chen Rui returned to his residence, he saw that Isabella was already waiting at the gate. She welcomed him in with a smile.
"Welcome back, our Sir Senior Advisor."
Chen Rui was startled, "Senior Advisor?"
"Just now, Royal Highness Regent has announced to the public that he has hired Sir Charles as a palace senior advisor." Isabella smiled and said, "Although the palace senior advisor has no actual power, his status is high enough to be comparable to a noble with a title. There are only a few senior advisors in the entire capital. For example, the president of the Fallen Angel Potioneer Association, the president of the Mechanic Association, etc., and your human compatriot, Nero, is also one of them. It seems that your plan has succeeded, Charles. Congratulations. "
"This is all thanks to you, Inni." Chen Rui learned from Obsidian that Isabella did not provide any biased help, but Chen Rui did not expose this matter, "My plan is actually only the first step of success, but this is a very good start."
Indeed, Chen Rui's plan had taken the most successful key step.
"Great." Isabella suddenly frowned slightly, "You … seem to be injured. Did something happen just now? You seem to have gone out of the inner city? "
"It's nothing. It's just a trivial matter." Chen Rui didn't mention about Tidiak. He shook his head, "As for the injury, when I was in the palace, that Nero … I almost died in his hands, but it's fine now."
"Didn't Royal Highness Regent summon you this time? Why did you have a conflict with Nero? "
Chen Rui didn't know if Isabella had a part in arranging for Nero to probe, so he said casually, "It's nothing. It's just that we are in different camps in the human world. I think we should keep a certain distance appropriately because Nero has reached the real Saint level, which is the Demon Overlord level of your Demons. It will be bad for you if you are too close to me."
"Charles really cares about people," Isabella said with a smile, "Nero only became a Demon Overlord not long ago. His purpose of coming to the Demon Realm is for this step, but his current power is not very stable. He may leave the Demon Realm in half a year. As for me … I'm just a small financial advisor. He won't care about me. Besides, I have a good friend named Krobelus. With this friend, Nero doesn't dare to do anything. "
Chen Rui's heart moved. Krobelus is one of the 3 people that Athena once mentioned to be careful of. Judging from the news revealed by Isabella, this Krobelus' strength is even above Nero.
The foundation of an empire is quite strong. Obsidian himself is a Demon Overlord powerhouse, so there must be a lot of hidden power. Otherwise, Manu and the others would have directly occupied the Fallen Angel Empire long ago. However, the gap between Demon Overlord powerhouses is also very huge. For example, Catherine can still fight against 3 powerhouses of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord alone when her strongest [War Puppet] can't be used.
I don't know how strong Raizen the Great will be.
Nero will leave the Demon Realm in half a year. Once he returns to the ground, he is likely to immediately find that the so-called "Charles Plan" is simply a scam … No matter whether Nero will return to the Demon Realm or not, just in case, my entire plan and launch time must be completed within half a year.
That night, the Fallen Angel Palace held a small welcome ball. It was held for Chen Rui, the new palace senior consultant.
The people attending the ball were the upper nobles and celebrities of the empire. As for Chen Rui's human identity, it was not disclosed. Just like Nero, no one knew that Nero was a human except for a few people at the upper core. Everyone only knew that he was a mysterious powerhouse recruited by the regent.
Luxurious clothes, luxurious wine and food, self-righteous elegance, and a face with a fake smile. This was Chen Rui's impression of this kind of palace ball. He never liked this atmosphere, but at this time, he had to integrate into it. He used the same fake elegance to deal with the men and women who came to strike up a conversation.
Chen Rui met many nobles, including the patriarch of the Lincoln Family, Sartre, who was Lordan's father. Sartre seemed to be completely unaware of the previous conflict between his son, Lordan, and Chen Rui. He seemed very friendly.
Contrary to Sartre's friendly attitude, Isabella's opponent, the Minister of Military Affairs, Rommel, seemed lukewarm. After Isabella showed a particularly intimate attitude with Chen Rui in front of him, Rommel showed an inexplicable smile instead.
Chen Rui didn't have the mood to think so much because his original intention was not to enter the upper level of the capital and develop here, but he only needed to complete his own plan. Moreover, Josh once said that Isabella was the most important help for this plan to be approved by Obsidian. At least, she couldn't be a hindrance, so it didn't matter even if he stood on Isabella's side on the surface.
Chen Rui also saw the "comrade" Diak who was "photographed", but the undead magician, Sulfur, was not by his side. Diak's injuries on the surface had long been healed under the effect of the potion, but when he looked into Chen Rui's eyes, he seemed to see the most terrifying thing. He quickly lowered his head, and his previous temperament or arrogance disappeared without a trace.
Thinking of what happened in the suburban courtyard during the day, Diak was horrified. This "Charles" who terrified him the most actually became the palace senior consultant hired by Prince Obsidian. It seemed that he could only take a detour with his tail between his legs in the future.
One thing surprised Chen Rui. In addition to the traditional court dance, there was actually a waltz at the ball. It seemed that the couple dance in the Dark Moon really had an impact on the court dance of the entire empire.
"Charles, this is called waltz. It was spread by an interesting human." Isabella asked, "It is said that this is the court dance of the human world?"
Tonight, Isabella was wearing a lavender evening dress with a white tulle shawl on her shoulders. She was elegant and noble with maturity and temptation. The smile on her face inadvertently revealed a touch of charm, which made her look gorgeous. She attracted the attention of men from time to time. Even Chen Rui couldn't help but secretly praise her in his heart.
"Strictly speaking, it is not a real court dance. It originated in a village in the Long Huang Empire. It was once considered a vulgar and obscene dance, but over time, the original court dance was gradually eliminated because of its rigid and restrained style. In recent years, this kind of relaxed and natural dance with elegant demeanor has begun to enter the upper class and is accepted by more human nobles. I believe it will soon become a really popular court dance. "
Chen Rui's statement was in line with the origin and development of waltz. The reason why it was vague and dragged the time to "recent years" was that he was afraid that Nero would see through it. However, this worry was unnecessary for the time being as Nero did not come to the ball tonight.
"I see." Isabella asked expectantly, "Then, will Charles dance …"
"Inni, I don't know if I have the honor?" Chen Rui spoke first. He got up and made an invitation gesture.
Isabella stood up with a smile and accepted his invitation. The two began to dance in the music. The waltz was originally learned by Isabella from the booklet given by Chen Rui. Then, it was brought into the upper class of the Fallen Angel Empire and became popular. Chen Rui was naturally very proficient. In some small details, he could also make adjustments so that the movements of the 2 were more compatible. Isabella felt this change, and her eyes lit up.
Now that the 2 were quite close, Chen Rui could already smell the fragrance from Isabella's body. This was a faint floral fragrance. Although it was not strong, it had an intoxicating feeling. With the change of movements, the 2 towering round breasts were constantly undulating, and the ravine in the middle was also expanding and contracting. It was extremely attractive.
Chen Rui admitted in his heart that Isabella was definitely worthy of the adjective "stunner". Whether it was a beautiful appearance or a mature and attractive figure, they were full of strong temptation. Especially the special temperament that exuded charm in nobility made people have a strong desire to violate her.
However, when he thought of this woman's viciousness, the occasional thoughts in his heart disappeared without a trace. Moreover, the most beautiful dance partner in Chen Rui's heart was not the poisonous flower in front of him, but the cold princess in white who melted under the purple moonlight.
Thinking of the duo dance in the Imperial Garden of the Dark Moon Palace, Chen Rui couldn't help but show a warm smile on his face. When this smile fell into Isabella's eyes, she couldn't help but have a strange expression.
The dancing 2 seemed to have become the protagonists of the ball. The beautiful dance with perfect coordination attracted almost everyone's attention. Many enthusiasts began to imitate the movements of the 2. Prince Obsidian in the distance also nodded secretly. "Charles"'s dance is beautiful and skillful. It is not a day's work. If he is not an aristocrat of the upper class of human society, it is absolutely impossible to have this kind of performance.
At the end of the song, Isabella's eyes were full of charm, "Charles, I didn't expect you to dance so well! It's the first time I'm so in tune with someone. "
"Inni, you also danced quite well. This is the happiest time since I came to the Demon Realm." Chen Rui said with a smile and let her take him to the sofa next to the dance floor.
The dance just now made many aristocratic women look at "Chen Rui" in a different light. Some bold aristocratic ladies had already come to invite him to dance, but Isabella firmly "occupied" Chen Rui and danced several times in a row.
It was not until a man walked in front of Isabella that this "occupation" behavior stopped. Judging from Isabella's expression, this man seemed to be her subordinate who had something important to report. Isabella followed the man out.
As soon as Isabella left, the women who had been coveting Chen Rui for a long time immediately surrounded him. Some used the excuse of asking for waltz to strike up a conversation, and some directly invited him to dance. Chen Rui politely answered or dealt with them.
Even if there was no outstanding performance on the dance floor, the women would also pay quite a lot of attention to this new nobleman of the palace. Many women even showed the intention of seduction, especially the hungry eyes of a few noblewomen, which made Chen Rui secretly scared.
If it was some unscrupulous wife-con, this should be that guy's biggest paradise.
Chen Rui finally got rid of the entanglement of these women. He saw a corner with few people and quickly walked over.
However, Chen Rui soon discovered the reason why there were few people here. It was because of a woman. Isabella was undoubtedly the most dazzling star at tonight's ball, but the appearance of the woman in front of him was not inferior to Isabella. She had long green hair, and there was a green crystal that seemed to be an ornament between her eyebrows. She was slim, and her facial features were very beautiful. However, this beauty's behavior made people's jaws drop. She only did one thing: eat.
A more accurate description was that she ate and drank.
Others mostly talked or danced at the ball. The wine and food were just tasted appropriately, but this woman ate and drank as if it was a banquet. There seemed to be nothing else in her eyes except food. It could be seen from the empty plates and empty bottles in front of the table that she had eaten an astonishing amount of food.
The strange thing was that no one showed a strange look as if they were used to it. No one invited her to dance, but they stayed far away as if … they were afraid to avoid her.
In any case, hiding here at least did not have to deal with those hungry and thirsty noblewomen. Seeing this woman eating very happily, Chen Rui also felt a little hungry. He walked straight over and happened to meet Lordan, the heir of the Lincoln Family.
After witnessing Chen Rui talking with his father and showing off on the dance floor, Lordan's face was gloomy. After discovering that Chen Rui was walking toward the green-haired woman, he thought that Chen Rui was going to strike up a conversation with this beauty. The expression on his face suddenly changed into a sneer. Even Diak's eyes, who was secretly paying attention to this side in the distance, lit up.
Chen Rui did not strike up a conversation as Lordan and Diak imagined. When he walked not far from the green-haired woman, he was suddenly startled. He seemed to frown, but he sat down on the sofa in front of him. He called the attendant to bring a bottle of wine and two plates of food to replenish his energy.
As soon as the attendant opened the wine bottle and retreated, the green-haired woman suddenly turned her head and said to Chen Rui, "Hey! You! Give me that bottle of wine and that plate of beef. "
This tone and request seemed very rude. Chen Rui hesitated for a moment, but he did not refuse. He walked over with the wine bottle and food and placed them on the table in front of her.
The woman picked up the wine bottle unceremoniously. She didn't even use the goblet. She directly gulped down a few mouthfuls, and she swept away the beef like a whirlwind.
"The things that are robbed are always particularly delicious." The woman said happily. She glanced at Chen Rui and nodded, "You are sensible. I will let you go. You can get lost now."
Chen Rui had a thunderous feeling. It's fine that such a beauty eats and drinks without caring about her manners, but she actually calls herself "I" …
"Still not getting lost?" The woman's eyes narrowed. She suddenly thought of something. She showed a strange smile and handed the remaining bottle of wine to him, "It seems to be a new face? Well, if you drink this bottle of wine, I will forgive your rudeness. "
Who is being rude?
Moreover, she just took a few sips of this bottle of wine, and she actually handed it over directly without hesitation. Does she want to have an indirect kiss?
Chen Rui noticed that several men had already looked at this side, including Lordan and Diak in the distance. These people all had the same expression, gloating.
