Chapter 1135 - 841: Use Magic, and Compete with Me Once

Bagaman’s intentions towards Yuri were not exactly hidden.

Although he had never openly expressed his love, it was clear from his attitude towards Yuri what he was after.

Therefore, in the kingdom’s noble circle, this matter wasn’t really a secret. Anyone who paid attention to things like this could sense it.

If Yuri hadn’t been so unresponsive, Bagaman might have already publicly proposed to her.

In this situation, most people at the banquet were watching Reiger with a sense of amusement.

After all, everyone in the industry knew that Reiger Brillhaut and Yuri Franzel had a very close relationship, close enough to come and go together, living under the same roof.

In other words, in the eyes of many, Reiger and Yuri were already recognized as a couple.

This made things quite interesting, didn’t it?

"Will those two fight?"

"Probably not..."

"Even though Marquis Muragit would not think he could take on three Sword Saints, right?"

"That’s not certain, Marquis Muragit and the Meteor Sword Saint have a close private relationship. Looking at this now, maybe Lord Patrashu might side with Marquis Muragit?"

"Then that’s indeed something to watch."

Many people began whispering in secret, discussing quietly.

Even Revin and Nipede, figures of great renown in the scene, started paying attention to Reiger, casting glances in his direction.

Reiger, however, seemed completely unaware, standing there calmly, even taking the leisure to pick up a glass of wine from the table beside him and leisurely sipping it.

Meanwhile, right under his nose, Bagaman kept talking to Yuri.

"I heard that the recent turmoil had quite an impact on Miss Yuri’s family. Are you alright?"

Bagaman asked with genuine concern.

"I’m fine, thank you for your concern, Marquis Muragit."

Yuri slightly bowed her head, expressing her gratitude.

"It’s best that you are safe and sound," Bagaman continued with concern, "If there’s anything you need help with, please don’t hesitate to say, as long as it’s within my ability, I won’t refuse."

"Thank you for your kindness," Yuri replied with a faint smile, "but I don’t have anything that needs assistance, just some trivial family chores, so there’s no need to trouble Marquis Muragit."

"No trouble at all. I would be more than happy to help Miss Yuri."

"I’m truly flattered by that."

"We’re both magicians after all, and the only two strategic-level magicians in the kingdom. Helping each other is only natural."

"You have a point."

"Haha..."

"Hehe..."

The two top magicians of the kingdom engaged in conversation under the watchful eyes, seeming to enjoy each other’s company, leaving many looking at each other in astonishment.

Only a few could detect that while Yuri handled Bagaman’s enthusiasm with perfection, there was still an unmistakable sense of distance, indicating to the sharp-minded that the kingdom’s chief court magician was merely being perfunctory.

It’s uncertain whether Bagaman noticed this, but he continued his passionate conversation with Yuri, almost ignoring Reiger beside him.

No, perhaps he did it on purpose?

Unfortunately, Reiger did not show any reaction from beginning to end, simply listening quietly.

That composed demeanor left a sense of admiration in people.

"...It’s impressive how he can hold it in."

Saint Charia was quite surprised by Reiger’s demeanor from afar.

"Could it be that his relationship with that woman isn’t as good as I imagined?"

Saint Charia muttered to herself.

"He’s just like that, no matter what happens in front of him, he always maintains that calm, indifferent appearance."

Revin, standing with Nipede, expressed his appreciation.

"Truly unlike an impulsive young man."

Nipede stroked his beard with a smile.

Others had their own views as well, leaving Alto, who stayed beside Reiger, a bit uncomfortable.

"Hey, aren’t you getting jealous, Lightning?"

Curiously, Alto leaned over to Reiger and asked directly without any reservation.

"My name isn’t Lightning," Reiger replied without looking at Alto, saying calmly, "Besides, why would I be jealous?"

"Isn’t it obvious?" Alto stated bluntly, "Someone is hitting on your woman right in front of you. Don’t you get jealous?"

"First, Yuri isn’t my woman, and second, that’s not hitting on, it’s just a conversation." Reiger glanced at Alto and said, "I’m not so petty that I can’t stand others talking to Yuri."

"Really? I thought you and Lady Franzel were a couple." Alto was a bit stunned, then laughed uproariously, "It seems you aren’t that capable, Lightning, living under the same roof, if it were me, I’d be in her room on the second night of cohabiting, and after a few months, we’d probably have kids running around."

"Having kids running around after a few months, you’re truly impressive, definitely better than me." Reiger’s tone remained unchanged, "Also, my name really isn’t Lightning."

"Then I’ll just call you buddy!" Alto wrapped his arm around Reiger’s shoulder, grinning brightly, "In that case, sorry buddy, I owe Bagaman a favor. He asked me to help him woo a woman, and I couldn’t refuse. Don’t blame me, okay?"
