Verna was the Kutu Principality's Third Princess, and she was the youngest daughter of the current King.
It was said that because of some reasons, Princess Verna did not often go out and spent most of her time in the palace, accompanying her father, the current King.
She and the Kutu Principality's Princess Olivia had the same father and mother, and they were quite close.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng thought to himself.
From this, it could be seen that Olivia had invited him to this banquet as a test, and she wanted him and Verna to try it out.
"What are you thinking about?"
Looking at Chen Heng, Verna felt quite confused.
"Nothing."
Chen Heng came back to his senses and looked at Verna with a slight smile on his face.
They sat there and continued to talk.
During this time, there were other noblewomen who came up, wanting to invite Chen Heng to dance with them, but they were all rejected by Chen Heng.
It seemed that they were having a good time talking.
Olivia danced at the banquet, and while she was busy with everyone else, she saw this scene.
On the surface, she did not do anything and did not send anyone to interfere, allowing them to do as they pleased.
She had been hiding in the shadows, so she had naturally seen Chen Heng's performance.
No matter how one looked at it, he was an absolute genius. He had reached such a level at such a young age, and he was just a step away from awakening his Life Seed and becoming a Knight.
An ordinary Knight naturally did not match up with a royal family's Princess, but Chen Heng was not a commoner.
He came from a southern ruler and was Corripo's student, so he could influence Corripo's decisions to a certain extent. This made up for his lack of status, making him an ideal candidate.
From how Olivia saw it, if this Knight Kaelin did not have many problems, he would be a perfect match for Verna.
At the very least, there would not be too many things.
Of course, it was still early, so there was no need to make a decision so quickly.
Time quickly passed, and in the blink of an eye, the lively atmosphere dissipated, and the crowds of people also disappeared. It seemed that everyone was about to leave.
"Looks like this banquet is going to end soon."
Chen Heng looked in front of him before turning and smiling at Verna, "It's getting late; it's time for me to leave."
"The time for us to meet has passed. I hope we can meet again in the future."
He looked at Verna and smiled as he spoke.
"You'll come find me, right?"
Verna seemed quite reluctant to part with Chen Heng, and she bit her lips as she spoke softly.
Chen Heng paused for a moment before smiling, "Of course."
"I'm very happy to be with you. If possible, I hope we can meet again in the future, just like tonight."
He smiled cheerfully. "Before that, I will look forward to our next meeting."
"Mr. Kaelin …"
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Verna felt quite surprised and lowered her head, her face becoming red.
Even though it sounded quite ordinary, to her, Chen Heng's words sounded like a confession of love, like a beautiful poem spoken by a wandering poet, making her heart beat faster.
"I'm also looking forward to meeting you again."
Looking at Chen Heng's face, she could not help but muster up her courage and speak shyly.
"In that case, I hope that day won't be too late."
Chen Heng smiled and bowed in a gentlemanly manner, "It's getting late, so I'll be leaving now."
"Sweet dreams."
.....
"Are you alright?"
Outside the manor, Carey saw Chen Heng off and asked.
"I'm fine."
Chen Heng smiled, "Even though Mader has a straightforward personality, at least he didn't go all out.
Otherwise, I would probably be lying on the ground and wouldn't be able to chat with you. "
"That's not going all out?"
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Carey inwardly mocked.
The scene of Chen Heng and Mader's battle still lingered in his mind.
If it was anyone else in that terrifying battle, they would have been instantly cut in half without any chance of survival.
However, thinking back to that battle, he thought of some things. Looking at Chen Heng, he could not help but ask, "Kaelin, are you … about to reach that step?"
"That step?"
Chen Heng stared for a moment before coming back to his senses.
Facing Carey, he did not hide it and lightly smiled, "Yes."
"Mr. Corripo said that I've reached the standard for awakening a Life Seed and can try to awaken one …"
Hearing this, Carey could not help but gasp.
"It's actually true …"
He was a little shocked and didn't know what to say at this time.
The significance of a Knight was not that simple.
Now that there was chaos everywhere, whether a family was powerful or not, apart from wealth and status, was also determined by the number of Knights they had.
Only a family with a true Knight could be considered a true noble.
This was the standard of noble circles.
As for those nobles who didn't have knights, they didn't have any protection. Who knew when they would disappear and be killed by bandits that came out of nowhere.
If Chen Heng could awaken a Life Seed and become a Knight, this would mean that his family would be able to greatly improve.
Moreover, considering his age and the amount of time he had used the Knights Breathing Technique, it was not impossible for him to go even further in the future.
If he could become a Great Knight, then …
Just thinking about this, Carey could not help but tremble.
Great Knights already surpassed the limits of ordinary people.
Even though ordinary knights were powerful, they were still inferior in terms of status when compared to those truly top-notch nobles.
But for Grand Knights, they were far beyond that.
Chen Heng's teacher, Corripo, was a Great Knight.
From what Carey knew, in the entire Kutu Principality, Corripo's status was only below that of the King.
As for everyone else, he did not place them in his eyes at all.
It was said that back then, Corripo had killed 1,000 people in a single night and massacred an entire Count's family.
This matter was still being spread among many nobles, and no one dared to forget it.
If Chen Heng could become a Great Knight …
Just thinking about this possibility, Carey could not help but tremble.
If that was really the case, his investment would be incredibly profitable.
