"Sevillea, it's a good thing I saw you here tonight, otherwise I wouldn't know who I would dance with."
Glaint, who has become Apothecary, smiled and leaned over to kiss his hands. He was more energetic than before, which made Angel suspect his true purpose of persevering in searching for this Pathway Potion.
"Miss Irene, it's nice to see you too. I haven't seen you in my salon recently, and Audrey doesn't participate much. Have you all forgotten me?"
After greeting Sevillea, Glaint looked at Angel again, with the same smile on his face, and raised his hand slightly exaggeratedly.
"Sorry, I've been a little busy lately. I will definitely attend the salon next week."
In fact, it's because I went directly to Audrey's house, skipping the "middleman" like you...
Angel cursed.
After a brief chat, Glaint officially invited Sevillea to dance with him.
"Baby, go to the restaurant and rest for a while. You might meet someone unexpected."
Sevillea left an incomprehensible word, stretched out his arm for the Viscount to hold, and the two walked towards the center of the hall, and then started a slightly ambiguous dance in the sudden change of dance music.
"I didn't expect Glaint to be interested in a woman older than him like Sevillea... Well, but it may be that the power of 'Pleasure' is at work. Sevillea wouldn't want to change his title of Baroness into a viscountess, right?"
Angel watched for a while and found that the two of them seemed to be jumping closer together, their movements were ambiguous, and they suddenly felt their mouths were dry. In order to avoid having some strange thoughts if she continued reading, she followed the other party's arrangement and walked from the circular corridor on the second floor to the restaurant at the back.
This is a hall about the same size as the ballroom in front. There are long tables covered with white tablecloths. On them are plates of exquisite dishes, glasses of expensive wine, and various cold cuts and pastries.
Another band was playing music in a corner that was different from the one in the front room. Some guests who had to come to socialize but were not interested in the noisy dance hall gathered here, holding dinner plates or wine glasses, filling their stomachs and chatting.
Angel, who had not yet eaten because she was wearing a complicated long dress, happily picked up the plate, selected some of her favorite sweets, and the meat that she was particularly interested in tonight, went to a corner of the restaurant, and quickly consumed these valuable foods.
"Sevillea said that I will meet unexpected people, does that mean there is someone here who will take the initiative to find me? According to her previous words, it is a certain Miss, maybe I still know..."
After filling her stomach, she picked up a glass of low-alcohol sweet wine and used the gesture of raising the glass to cover up her gaze as she looked around at the guests.
Their average age is much older than the nobles dancing in the hall in front of them. Many of them are already middle-aged. They also talk about government affairs, large transactions and year-end income. It is more like a dinner party to discuss business than a dance. But no one paid attention to her, and no one came up to talk to her.
To her surprise, the "Hunter" Pathway Beyonder and Vincent who had appeared together with Lola were also in the crowd. This middle-aged man in a tuxedo and thick-rimmed glasses was talking to two other men, his hand holding the glass constantly shaking.
Feeling Angel's eyes, he turned his head slightly and looked over, and instantly recognized the "Demoness of Pleasure" who had established a private cooperation.
The two people's eyes met and they looked away in tacit agreement.
"But what Sevillea said cannot be Vincent. Did I misunderstand the meaning? Did she really just ask me to come here to rest?"
Angel was full of doubts, pacing from one corner of the restaurant to the other, and then around to the side corridor.
There are priceless landscape paintings hanging here. The lights are bright but there are few guests. There are several doors leading to independent balconies, most of which are closed. There seems to be someone talking outside, and only one door is ajar.
She pushed the door open, and from the balcony outside she could see Crimson Moon in the sky and the meticulously maintained garden below. But to her surprise, a man and a woman were already standing on the balcony, both looking at her uninvited guest with curious eyes.
"Sorry, I thought no one was here..."
Angel, who disturbed their tryst, quickly looked away, apologized, and prepared to leave.
"No, please wait a moment, this is Miss."
The woman in the heavy black skirt said softly, while winking at the middle-aged man next to her. The latter nodded, walked past Angel, left the balcony, and closed the door behind her.
As the other party turned her face completely towards Angel, she could see the face of the woman in black dress clearly. She was completely different from the old-fashioned dress she was wearing. She was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with long black hair, slender eyes, and a round face that made people feel affectionate.
She is Tris who had a relationship with Tingen City's Evil Dragon Bar Underground Market and Angel. West Borough planted Curse Altar on the outskirts of the city, fought with Nighthawks, and even nearly killed Witch of Klein.
Trissy!
Angel looked at the other party with a puzzled expression, her brows slightly raised, as if she was curious about why the other party left her on the balcony, but her heart was already in turmoil.
It turns out that Witch came to Backlund after escaping from Tingen City... It seems that she was taken back to the organization by the Demoness Sect, and even arranged to be with a certain noble?
When he met Sevillea for the first time and accepted her "examination", the other party once mentioned that he had taken back an important chess piece from Tingen. Angel didn't pay attention to it at the time. Looking back now, did he mean Trissy?
At this moment, Angel thought a lot.
Fortunately, she was wearing "Madness Ring". For insurance, she even used the incomplete Mystical Item, which turned into the "Faceless" properties of human skin, which ensured that the other party could not recognize her true identity.
"Are you the other 'Witch' that Sevillea said?"
Trissy spoke actively, glancing towards the door from time to time. Behind the translucent glass, you can see the silhouette of the middle-aged man reflected in the light. The latter is like a sculpture, faithfully guarding the balcony.
Angel nodded cautiously and did not answer. She had no idea what Sevillea's arrangements were for tonight, but judging from the other party's reaction, the "unexpected person" mentioned by Sevillea should be Trissy.
By the way, during her examination, I once said that I was also under Madam Sharon, and that I knew "Tris"... Did she think that I didn't know that he was Witch and had turned into a woman, and she wanted to give me a "surprise"?
After figuring this out in an instant, Angel had a follow-up plan.
"Oh, I recognized you from the necklace you were wearing. Sevillea said I knew you, but who exactly are you?"
The beautiful face was full of doubts, Trissy tilted his head slightly and continued to ask.
The expression in this moment was so endearing that Angel's chest was pounding, and he almost wanted to tell the truth.
She immediately understood that this unique power of making any movement full of temptation was one of the characteristics of "Demoness of Pleasure".
The opponent is no longer "Witch", but "Pleasure" who has been promoted to Sequence 6!
I don't know Sevillea, or Demoness Sect, I don't know this clearly...
Angel thought to himself, and pretended to have a puzzled expression on his face, as if he was thinking about it. After a moment, his eyes widened, and he said as if he suddenly realized:
"It's you, are you Tris?"
Trissy, whose identity was revealed by a word, had a trace of panic in his expression, which was then covered by a smile that understood everything.
"Sure enough, you really know me. Are you from Tingen City... are you another 'assassin' under Sharon Khoy?"
