Chapter 299: She Already Has an Appointment With Me
Adele’s appearance indeed surprised many.
They hadn’t expected such a low-ranking, even lowly, girl to appear at such an important banquet.
That’s why those surprised gazes fell on Adele.
Well, now it seemed that at this banquet, where all the prominent figures of Twilight City were present, Adele was the only one who wasn’t invited!
But both Hermione and Aunt Mona chose to bring her. This gave Adele a rare sense of security and warmth.
The three of them were led to their seats.
Aunt Mona, as a popular figure in the upper class, naturally attracted attention and greetings. She gracefully held a glass of crimson wine, mingling and chatting with the Bloodkin nobles, leaving Adele and Hermione to exchange glances.
Hermione poured Adele a drink, then said, “I wouldn’t dare let you touch alcohol again.”
Adele pouted, thinking, Really? If I get drunk, you’re the one who benefits the most.
But Hermione knew that even if she took advantage of Adele, she couldn’t escape punishment later.
Of course, that kind of punishment wasn’t severe. On the contrary, it could be called “fun.”
“So, has the banquet started?” Adele took the glass from Hermione, taking a small sip like a kitten drinking water.
