As soon as Chen Rui returned to his residence, he saw Isabella waiting at the gate and welcomed him in with a smile.
"Welcome back, our senior advisor."[..com]
Chen Rui was startled: "Senior consultant?"
"Just now, His Royal Highness the Regent has announced to the public that His Excellency Charles will be hired as the senior advisor of the palace." Isabella smiled: "Although the senior advisor of the palace has no actual power, his status is lofty, comparable to that of nobles with titles.
There are only a handful of senior advisors in the entire imperial capital. For example, the president of the Fallen Angel Pharmacist Alliance, the president of the Instrument Maker Alliance, etc., and your fellow human Nero is also one of them. It seems that your plan has been successful.
, Charles, congratulations."
"Thanks to you Yi Ni." He learned from Obsidian that Isabella did not actually provide any help, but Chen Rui did not expose this matter. "My plan is actually just a success."
It’s a first step, but it’s a very good opening.”
Indeed, Chen Rui's plan has taken the most critical step towards success.
"Great." Isabella suddenly frowned: "You... seem to be injured. Did something happen just now? You seem to have gone out of the inner city?"
"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter." Chen Rui did not mention Diak's matter and shook his head, "As for the injury, I was taught by that nun when I was in the palace...I almost died in his hands.
, but it’s no longer a serious problem now.”
"Didn't His Highness the Regent summon you this time? Why did you have a conflict with Nero?"
Chen Rui didn't know if Isabella had any role in arranging Nero's test. He said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that we are in different camps in the human world. I think we should keep a certain distance appropriately."
Good, because Nero has reached the true holy level, which is the demon emperor level of your demon clan, and being too close to me will be detrimental to you."
"Charles really cares about people." Isabella said with a smile: "Nero became the Demon Emperor not long ago. His purpose of coming to the Demon Realm is for this step, but the current level of power is not stable yet. Maybe
I will leave the demon world in half a year. As for me..., I am just a small financial consultant, and I will not be noticed by him. Besides, I also have a good friend named Cloberus.
Now, Nero doesn't dare to move."
Chen Rui's heart moved. Kroberus was one of the three people Athena had mentioned to be careful about. Judging from the news revealed by Isabella, this Kroberus's strength was actually still with Nero.
above.
The foundation of an empire is quite majestic. Even Obsidian himself is a strong Demon Emperor, and there must be a lot of hidden power. Otherwise, Manu and the others would have directly occupied the Fallen Angel Empire. However, Demon Emperor-level strongmen
The gap between them is also huge. For example, even when the strongest war puppet was unavailable, Katherine was still able to suppress three peak demon emperors of the same level with one against three.
I don’t know how strong Emperor Lei Chan will be.
Nero will leave the Demon Realm in half a year. Once he returns to the ground, he will probably immediately discover that the so-called "Charles Gego." is simply a scam... Regardless of whether Nero will return to the Demon Realm again, just in case, he
The entire plan and launch time must be completed within half a year.
That night, the Fallen Angel Palace held a small welcome dance, which was apparently held for Chen Rui, the newly appointed senior adviser to the palace.
The ball was attended by the upper-class nobles and celebrities of the empire. As for Chen Rui's human identity, it was not made public. Just like Nero, except for a few people in the upper core, no one knew that Nero was a human. Everyone only knew that he was the regent.
The mysterious and powerful man recruited by the king.
Luxurious clothes, luxurious food and wine, self-righteous elegance, and faces with fake smiles. This was Chen Rui's impression of this kind of palace dance. He had never liked this kind of atmosphere, but now he had to blend in and use the same false
He dealt with the men and women who came to chat with him with his charming demeanor.
Chen Rui met many nobles, including Sartre, the patriarch of the Lincoln family, who was Luodan's father. Sartre seemed completely unaware of the previous conflict between his son Luodan and Chen Rui, who seemed very heated.
Contrary to Sartre's familiar attitude, Isabella's opponent, Minister of Military Affairs Rommel, seemed lukewarm. After Isabella showed a particularly close attitude to Chen Rui in front of him, Rommel
Instead, he showed a puzzling smile.
Chen Rui didn't have the heart to think about so much, because his original intention was not to enter the upper echelons of the imperial capital and develop here, but just to complete his plan. Moreover, Zhuo Qie once said that this plan must be obtained by black
Yao's approval, Isabella is the most important help. At least, she cannot be a resistance, so it doesn't matter even if the camp is obviously on Isabella's side.
Chen Rui also saw the "comrade" Diack who had been "photographed nude", but the necromancer Liu was not around. Diack's apparent injuries had already been healed under the influence of the medicine. However, his eyes met with Chen Rui's.
At this moment, he seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing and quickly lowered his head, all the previous magnanimity or arrogance disappeared.
Diack's hair stood on end when he thought of what happened in the courtyard on the outskirts of the city during the day, and the "Charles" who frightened him the most turned out to be a senior palace adviser invited by Prince Obsidian. It seemed that he would only be able to avoid it with his tail between his legs in the future.
Gone.
One thing that surprised Chen Rui was that in addition to the traditional court dance, there was also a waltz. It seemed that the pas de deux in Dark Moon really had an impact on the court dance of the entire empire.
"Charles, this is called waltz, and it was spread through an interesting human being." Isabella asked: "It is said that this is a court dance in the human world?"
Tonight, Isabella is wearing a lavender evening dress with a white tulle shawl on her shoulders. She is elegant and noble with maturity and temptation. The smile on her face inadvertently reveals a touch of charm, making her look...
The bright light radiated from time to time, attracting men's sideways glances, and even Chen Rui couldn't help but praise it secretly.
"Strictly speaking, it is not a true court dance. It originated in a village in the Longhuang Empire. It was once considered a vulgar and obscene dance. However, as time went by, the original court dance became rigid and restrained.
The style is gradually being eliminated. In recent years, this kind of dance with a relaxed and natural body and an elegant and free style has begun to enter the upper class and is accepted by more human nobles. I believe it will soon become a truly popular court dance."
Chen Rui's statement coincides with the origin and development of waltz. The reason why he said it vaguely and extended the time to "recent years." was because he was afraid that Nero would see through it. However, this worry was unnecessary for the time being. Nero did not come tonight.
Attend a dance party.
"So that's it." Isabella asked expectantly: "Then will Charles jump..."
"Yini, I wonder if I have this honor?" Chen Rui spoke first, standing up and making an invitation gesture.
Isabella stood up with a smile, accepted his invitation, and the two began to dance to the music. Isabella originally learned the waltz from the booklet given by Chen Rui, and then brought it into the Fallen Angels
The upper class of the empire became popular. Chen Rui was naturally very skilled, and he could make adjustments to some small details to make the two people's movements more consistent. Isabella's eyes lit up when she felt this change.
Now that the distance between the two is quite close, Chen Rui can already smell the fragrance emanating from Isabella. It is a light floral fragrance. Although not strong, it has an intoxicating feeling. As the movements change,
The two tall velvet balls are constantly undulating and changing, and the ravine in the middle is also expanding and contracting, which is extremely attractive.
Chen Rui admitted in his heart that Isabella definitely deserves the adjective "beautiful". Both her beautiful appearance and mature and charming figure are full of powerful temptation, especially her special and charming temperament that exudes nobility.
I have a strong desire to invade.
But when he thought of this woman's cruelty, the few lingering thoughts that occasionally arose in his heart disappeared without a trace. Moreover, the most beautiful dance partner in Chen Rui's heart was not the poisonous flower in front of him, but something that melted under the purple moonlight.
A kind of cold princess in white.
Thinking of the pas de deux in the Royal Garden of the Dark Moon Palace, Chen Rui couldn't help but reveal a warm smile on his face. This smile fell on Isabella's eyes, and a strange color flashed across her eyes.
The two people dancing gracefully became the protagonists of the ball. Their seamless and beautiful dance movements attracted the attention of almost everyone. Many fans began to imitate the movements of the two people. Prince Obsidian in the distance also secretly nodded: "Charles" dances gracefully.
Proficiency cannot be achieved overnight. If you are not a noble in the upper class of human society, you will never be able to achieve this kind of performance.
When the song ended, Isabella's eyes flashed with emotion: "Charles, I didn't expect you to dance so well! This is the first time I've been so in tune with someone."
"Yini, you are also a very good dancer. This is the happiest time since I came to the devil world." Chen Rui said with a smile and let her sit on the sofa next to the dance floor.
The dance just now made many aristocratic women take a new look at "Charles". A bold aristocratic young lady came to invite him to dance, but Isabella firmly "occupied" Chen Rui and danced several times in a row.
dance.
It wasn't until a man walked up to Isabella that this "occupation" behavior was stopped. Judging from Isabella's expression, this man seemed to be her subordinate who had something important to report. Isabella followed the man.
Went out.
As soon as Isabella left, the women who had been coveting the beauty for a long time immediately gathered around. Some asked for help in waltzing to strike up a conversation, and some directly invited her to dance. Chen Rui answered or dealt with them politely.
Even if there is no outstanding performance on the dance floor, women will pay great attention to this upstart in the palace. Many women even show naked intentions of seduction, especially the hungry eyes of several ladies, which makes Chen Rui secretly feel uncomfortable.
.
If it were an unscrupulous wife-controller, this should be that guy's biggest paradise.
Chen Rui finally got rid of the entanglement of these women, saw a corner with few people, and quickly walked over.
However, Chen Rui soon discovered that the reason why there were so few people here was because of a woman. Isabella was undoubtedly the most dazzling star in tonight's dance, but the appearance of the woman in front of him was not inferior to Isabella.
She has long green hair, a green crystal that seems to be a decoration in the middle of her eyebrows, a slim figure, and very beautiful facial features. However, this beauty's behavior is surprising. She only does one thing: eat.
A more accurate description would be to eat and drink indiscriminately.
Others mostly talked or danced at the ball, and the food and wine were just a proper taste, but this woman seemed to treat this place as a banquet, eating and drinking, and it seemed that there was nothing else in her eyes except food. From the empty spaces in front of the table,
The empty bottle on the plate showed that she had eaten a surprising amount of food.
The strange thing is that no one looked strange, as if they were used to it, and no one invited her to dance. Instead, they stayed far away, seemingly... for fear of avoiding her.
In any case, hiding here at least did not have to deal with those hungry ladies, and seeing that this woman was eating well, Chen Rui also felt a little hungry, so he walked straight over and happened to meet Luo Dan, the heir of the Lincoln family.
After witnessing Chen Rui having a familiar conversation with his father and making a splash on the dance floor, Luo Dan had a gloomy look on his face. After discovering that he was walking towards the green-haired woman, he thought he was going to strike up a conversation with the beauty. The expression on his face
His smile suddenly turned into a sneer, and even Diak's eyes lit up as he secretly paid attention from a distance.
Chen Rui did not strike up a conversation as Luo Dan and Diack imagined. When he walked not far from the green-haired woman, he was suddenly startled and seemed to frown. However, he sat down on the sofa in front of him and called the attendant to see him off.
Grab a bottle of wine and two plates of food to replenish your energy.
As soon as the waiter opened the wine bottle and left, the green-haired woman suddenly turned her head and said to Chen Rui: "Hey! You! Give me that bottle of wine and that plate of beef."
This tone and request seemed very rude. Chen Rui pondered for a moment, but without refusing, he came over with the wine bottle and food and placed them on the table in front of her.
The woman picked up the wine bottle without ceremony, without using a goblet, and took a few big sips, then swept up the beef like a whirlwind.
"The things you snatch are always very delicious." The woman said happily, glanced at Chen Rui, and nodded: "You know what I'm doing, I'll let you go, you can get out."
Chen Rui had a feeling of thunder rolling down from the sky. Such a beautiful woman, eating and drinking without regard for her manners, even called herself "my mother,"...
"Aren't you going to get out?" The woman's eyes widened, and she suddenly thought of something. She showed a strange smile and handed him the remaining bottle of wine. "He seems to be a stranger? So, after you drink this bottle of wine, I will
Forgive your rudeness."
Who is rude?
Moreover, she had just taken a few sips of this bottle of wine, and she handed it over directly without any hesitation. Did she still want to have an indirect kiss?
Chen Rui noticed that several men were already looking over here, including Luo Dan and Diack in the distance. They all had the same expression, gloating about someone else's misfortune.
