This is the territory of Duke Claes of the Kingdom.
At this moment, the dukedom is brightly lit.
All the nobles in the royal capital are here, and even nobles from some remote areas will use various connections to deliver gifts.
Just because of the tenth birthday of Katarina Claes, the daughter of Duke Claes.
As we all know, Catalina is Duke Claes' favorite daughter.
Normally, Duke Claes rarely holds banquets at home, so this is a rare opportunity to establish a relationship with the Duke.
"Lady Catalina, I wish you a happy tenth birthday." Meri Hunter, who has long orange-brown hair, blessed her.
"Catalina, happy birthday."
The golden retriever shota and Catalina's fiancée's third prince, Giordo Stiat, also sent birthday wishes.
"Happy birthday, I didn't expect to be ten years old so soon." said the fourth prince, Alan Stiet.
At the same time, there were also gifts carefully selected by the three of them.
"Ah, thank you Meili."
"Thank you Prince Giordo, thank you Prince Alan." Catalina smiled and took the gift.
"Miss Catalina, this is my gift, I hope you will like it."
Sofia Ascarut, a little girl with white hair and red eyes, handed a gift box to Katarina.
"Ah! This is the latest romance novel released. I've always wanted to buy it, but it's too late. Can you really give it to me?" Catalina said in surprise as she opened the package.
"Well, as long as you like it, Miss Catalina." Sofia smiled.
"Thank you Sofia, I like it very much."
Catalina hugged the book and showed a sweet smile.
"That's good." Looking at Catalina's smile, Sophia's face turned red.
at the same time
In Katarina's room
Through the coordinates set by Catalina, everyone walked out one by one.
Looking at the group members walking out of the space passage, if Catalina hadn't explained it in advance, Maid An would have called the guards directly.
"I feel so uncomfortable wearing this dress." Heitong said, tugging at the dress on his body.
This is a black and red dress that clearly depicts the perfect figure with black eyes.
It looked good, but in Heitong's eyes, the clothes were too restrictive. For an assassin like her, it would be difficult to escape.
"That's right, why are there high heels in the world? It hurts so much." Kiana said distressedly.
Just walk, but you have to put your feet on it.
If the recoil is unstable, people will be killed immediately.
After wearing it for a while, my toes started to feel numb.
"But the clothes are nice."
Kiana looked at her outfit.
[Shi Li Chasing the Light] This is the evening dress Ling Yuan prepared for Kiana.
It's on the same level as Cecilia's evening gowns.
"Just bear with it, just tonight." Mei Yi, who was wearing a white, purple and violet dress, said helplessly.
This world view is that of the ancient Western Kingdom, and is naturally conducted in a Western way.
This is just like when they wore cheongsam for Hongyu's birthday.
I looked at the time on my phone (as the world travels, the time in two worlds will be displayed on the phone.)
Ling Yuan turned his attention to An and smiled: "The dinner should have started, right? Aren't you going to take us there?"
An immediately reacted and made a gesture of invitation: "Everyone, please come with me."
...
"Catalina, what are you looking at? You have been looking absent-minded since just now." At the birthday party, Giordo looked at Catalina who was looking around and asked curiously.
"I'm waiting for my friend."
"Friends? Lady Catalina, aren't we the only friends you have?" Mellie asked curiously.
"They are friends I made outside. They are all very good people." Catalina smiled.
"them?"
Giordo captured the key words keenly.
Mei Li slumped down on the chair with a look of despair.
I originally thought that these were the only opponents, but I didn’t expect that there was also a love rival in the dark?!

At this time, the wooden door next to the window suddenly opened.
Maid An came out with a group of people.
The moment he came out, he attracted the attention of people around him.
They looked at the group members blankly.
You can always trust Mi Huyou’s aesthetics.
The women were outrageously beautiful, and the men were outrageously handsome, eclipsing all the aristocratic ladies and young masters present.
"Miss."
Ann gave Catalina a gentle salute and stood to the side.
"You are finally here!"
After Catalina saw everyone, she happily trotted over.
"Are they the friends Catalina said?" A drop of sweat fell on Alan's forehead.
The number of people is a bit too much!
Giordo was also shocked and speechless.
Meili has lost her fighting ability.
"Catalina, who are they?" Giordo asked.
"They are all my friends, everyone is awesome." Catalina said excitedly.
Giordo glanced at Guise subconsciously.
Unexpectedly, the other party was also confused and had no idea what was going on.
"Catalina, happy birthday."
Ruby, who was about the same height as Catalina, handed a red wooden box to Catalina.
"Thank you, Sister Hongyu."
"Let me introduce to you, this is Sister Hongyu, this is Brother Lingyuan, and this is Boss Laxus." Katalina happily introduced to Meili and the others.
"Hey, hey, don't treat me like a gangster." Laxus said helplessly, rubbing the back of his head.
"Anyway, your gift."
Even so, Laxus still took out a yellow gift box from the group chat space.
"Thank you, boss!" Catalina shouted sweetly after taking it.
"I told you not to call me that."
"Isn't this good? It means you are very popular." Ling Yuan smiled.
"forgive me."
"Sister Catalina, this is mine." Sophia smiled and handed over the blue box.
"Love you, sister Sophia."
Catalina made a heart sign with her index finger and thumb.
Boom!
It was as if a bolt of lightning struck Melly's body, and she looked at Sophia blankly.
It turns out that Miss Catalina already has her heart set on something?
"..."
The group members presented their gifts one after another.
Fortunately, there was a maid nearby to help, otherwise Catalina's little hands would not be able to hold the thirty-plus cents gift.
"Come on, this is mine."
Finally, under Catalina's longing gaze, Ling Yuan handed a pitch black box to Catalina's hand.
As soon as she got it, Catalina asked expectantly: "Ling Yuan, can I open it?"
"Yeah, okay."
Hearing this, Catalina carefully placed the gift she had received on the ground.
I couldn't wait to open Ling Yuan's gift box.
The moment of opening
Catalina was stunned.
A gray prismatic crystal lies quietly in the box.
The moment he saw the crystal, Laxus showed a surprised expression: "Is this the God-Destroying Demonic Crystal?"
"Yes, that's the thing."
"Destroy God?"
Meili and the other children were curious.
"After thinking about it, I don't have anything to give as a gift. I don't have anything else, but I have a lot of crystals." Ling Yuan said with a smile.
Well, he has a lot of crystal-like things like Herrscher Cores, Herrscher Gemstones, God-Slaying Crystals, and Dragon-Slaying Crystals.
"Thank you Ling Yuan, I really like this gift!"
Holding the crystal tightly, Catalina put it directly into the group chat space.
In the whole world, she only felt that it was the safest place.
The God-Destroying Demonic Crystal is equivalent to possessing a magic power storage organ in disguise. This is simply the best gift for Catalina, whose magic power is not very outstanding!
"As long as you like it, let's integrate it as soon as possible. This kind of thing is not fun to lose." Ling Yuan joked.
Duke Clais, who was toasting in the distance, turned his attention to Catalina and was stunned.
"When did Catalina know so many people?" The Duchess also came over.
"I don't know." Duke Claes looked confused.
Immediately, they took steps and walked towards the group members together.
When they sensed someone approaching, Ling Yuan and others raised their heads.
"Um?"
The moment they looked at each other, Duke Claes felt a chill on his back, as if he had been completely seen through and exposed to a wild beast.
This feeling comes and goes quickly.
By the time Duke Clais came back to his senses, this feeling had disappeared, but the wet back reminded him that it was not an illusion.
Suppressing the horror in his heart, Duke Clais came to the crowd and smiled slightly: "Catalina, why don't you introduce us to her?"
"Everyone, we are Catalina's parents."
"Hello, Lord Duke, we are Catalina's friends, Ling Yuan." Ling Yuan said with a smile.
"Father, mother, they are not suspicious people, they are all very good friends of mine." Catalina explained hurriedly.
"My Heavenly Dragon-Slaying Magic was taught to me by brother Ling Yuan."
The Duke and Duchess of Clais were stunned.
"It's just a little magic, you two don't have to worry about it." Ling Yuan smiled slightly.
Hearing this, Duke Claes smiled meaningfully: "If this is all considered minor magic, then all other magic in the world is probably child's play."
With that said, he picked up the wine glass on the table and handed it to Ling Yuan.
At the same time, the surrounding attendants also handed each group member a glass of wine.
"Mr. Lingyuan, I am very grateful to you for being Catalina's friend." Duke Claes raised his glass.
"Katalina is very cute, we all like her." Ling Yuan also raised her head.
"Haha, I know my child must have caused you a lot of trouble. I hope you can take more care of me in the future."
Ling Yuan chuckled lightly.
Bang
The two of them clinked their wine glasses.
However, Ling Yuan only took a sip, but Duke Clais drank all the wine in the glass.
"Then I won't disturb you. I wish you all a pleasant evening."
After drinking the wine, Duke Clais smiled at everyone and left with his wife.
"Duke, walk slowly."
"That Duke is not simple."
The black eyes looked at the back of Duke Claes and murmured.
"You are a duke after all. If you want to maintain your family and reputation, how can you do it without some strength?" Walter said.
"Take care of us. It seems that he noticed our sight just now."
Ling Yuan groped his jaw.
"Phew, you scared me to death." Catalina exhaled heavily.
"What do you have to be scared of?"
Katarina: "Of course I'm worried that father will regard you as suspicious persons."
"He regarded us as suspicious persons, but after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to let us go."
"Why?"
Katarina looked confused.
Ling Yuan smiled and said nothing, then clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the group members: "Okay, today is Catalina's birthday, let's not think too much and enjoy it."
"Qiana, Maple, Xiao Lingxi, Lily, pay attention to your eating habits."
Bai Qian gave Ling Yuan a blank look.
"You don't have to mention my name specifically!" Paramecium said angrily.
Then he pulled Mei Yi towards the table where the food was placed.
She must try the Duke's food.
"Auntie, how many times have you worn this dress?"
Ling Yuan asked curiously as he looked at Wu Liang Ta Ji Zi in a bright red evening dress next to him.
Ji Zi's face froze, and she gently brushed her long hair: "Don't worry about ladies' matters."
"This is the only one."
Wuliangta Jizi: "..."
What should I do? I really want to use the Flame Burning Strike!
"An evening dress is so expensive and my salary is so much, how can I afford it?" he said angrily.
Himeko also walked in the direction of Kiana.
She wants to dissolve her grief, anger and guilt.
"I can't afford an evening dress, but I can still afford a wedding dress." Looking at Ji Zi's back, Ling Yuan chuckled.
With that said, he also walked towards the dining area.
