Chapter 84: VOL 2 Chapter 29: A display of influence, power, and ability.
"A cocktail party? Miss Belmonte? Who's that, and why do I have to go to her cocktail party?"
Upon hearing Seraphina's words, Erik couldn't help but ask in confusion as he turned to look at her. The beautiful maid responded with a small smile while she began applying cream to the star-haired boy's legs.
"Miss Belmonte is the disciple of Master Sunforge, young master."
"And who is Master Sunforge?" Erik rolled his eyes and lay back down on the massage table as he asked. Seraphina replied in a calm tone.
"She is the Master-level mage who led the last mission on the battlefront, where the young lady and Master Silverwood participated."
"Ahhh, that redhead?" Erik asked in realization, which caused a small giggle from Seraphina. She replied while starting to massage Erik's legs with a very special technique.
"Exactly, young master—the redhead, fufufu."
"But that doesn't explain why I have to go to her disciple's cocktail party. I've only seen that woman once. Or is it because she's the director's granddaughter?" Relaxing under the slight tingling caused by Seraphina's massage, Erik asked curiously. The beautiful maid responded with a small smile.
"Not at all, young master. Actually, it's not that you have to go; it's just a good opportunity to meet your opponents beforehand. The most outstanding disciples and students under 300 years old of the Arcane Order are invited to the cocktail party."
"That makes much more sense..." Erik replied in a reluctant tone, but suddenly seemed to remember something. He quickly asked in a tone that tried to sound more serious.
"By the way, will Liliana be there?"
