I raise elves in Florian

Chapter 173 Fortress City Frisch 4

Lord Alden sipped his tea, quietly awaiting Philon's reply. He could certainly see the subtle tension between Philon and Shutark.

"Then let's not trouble Lord Alden to make arrangements for Shutark. I can practice etiquette myself."

After Lord Alden said that, Philon suddenly lost interest in the donut in his hand.

What a joke! A beautiful lady is going to have dinner with Hugh Tarek! Philen was furious just thinking about it. What if something else happens after they have dinner together?

Therefore, Philon refused Lord Alden's offer with righteous indignation, saying that she could be the party companion for Shutark, and no one else was needed.

"Gabel, take Miss Philen to practice etiquette. I'm going to find Shutark."

Lord Alden then left the drawing room, while Philon was taken away by Gabel.

"Yichen, this is the good thing you did."

Frilian suddenly looked at Shi Yichen and said.

"How could you possibly be talking about me? Don't wrong an innocent person."

Shi Yichen smiled and kissed Frilian on the cheek.

"It's you, no doubt about it."

Frillie could tell from Shi Yichen's cunning and calculating demeanor that Philon had been set up by him.

"Don't you think this is wonderful?" Hugh Tarek held Philon and danced gracefully at the banquet.

Shi Yichen said to Frilian with a mischievous grin, "This is also an opportunity for Philen and Shutark to get to know each other better. Normally, Philen and Shutark would never dance together."

"You're right."

After hearing what Shi Yichen said, Frillie immediately felt that it made a lot of sense.

In the days that followed, Philon began a difficult life, just like Hughtark. Like Hughtark, Philon also had to learn what Hughtark was good at.

…………

Three months passed quickly.

The banquet officially began.

Everyone changed their outfits that day. Shi Yichen wore a black tuxedo, while Frilian wore a white dress and, unusually, had her hair tied in a ponytail.

Our protagonist, Hugh Tarker, wore a red tuxedo from the Alden family, while Philen wore a white gown, just like Florian, except Philen's gown was even more elegant than Florian's.

"This past month has been nothing short of hell."

Felene sat in the chair, looking at herself in her white dress, which seemed unreal.

"This is all for our own sake."

Shutark smiled and said.

Seeing Philen with his head down, Shutark walked up to Philen, knelt on one knee, and extended his right hand, inviting Philen to join him.

Looking at Shutark kneeling in front of him, Philon instinctively offered his left hand.

"Since we've already practiced, let's dance."

Hugh Tarek smiled and looked at Philen.

"It's really not suitable for you."

Philen smiled and looked at Hugh Talke. The Hugh Talke in front of him was a completely different person from the Hugh Talke of the past.

Shutalk stood up, and Philen followed suit. Shutalk then led Philen to the center of the stage.

Shutark put his arm around Philen's waist, while Philen's arm rested on Shutark's shoulder—a standard starting position for a duet.

When Shutark placed his hand on Philen's waist, Philen's body trembled slightly, after all, this was the first time Shutark had touched such a sensitive spot as her waist.

But Philen quickly adjusted and danced along with Hugh Tarek's parts. Since the duet was originally a male-led dance, Hugh Tarek led Philen in the dance.

Lord Alden looked at Hugh Talck dancing and it was as if he were seeing his eldest son, Wilt. How he wished that his eldest son would invite the girl he liked to dance at this banquet.

"How about we go dance?"

Shi Yichen watched as Hugh Tarek and Philen danced happily, then turned to look at Frilian, who was eating dessert, and said...

"I think I'd better give up. I can't dance at all."

Frillie shook her head. Although she really wanted to dance with Shi Yichen, she really didn't know how, and she would embarrass herself if she forced herself to.

"Pity."

Shi Yichen looked at Frillie, who was eating cake, with a regretful expression.

"I go out for a while."

Shi Yichen suddenly saw Lord Alden leave the banquet, greeted Frillie, and followed him.

"Okay, come back soon."

Frillie nodded and said to Shi Yichen.

In a side room.

"If it weren't for this wound, I would have been the one on the front lines, and Wilt might not have died."

Lord Alden stood at the window and removed his eye patch.

"master……."

Gabel was also very saddened by Wilt's death, because he had watched Wilt grow up.

"Click."

Shi Yichen pushed open the door and walked in.

"It is you."

Lord Alden turned to look at Shi Yichen.

"Well done."

Shi Yichen patted Lord Alden on the shoulder and was referring to the time when Philon and Shutark danced together.

"My eyes."

Lord Alden suddenly discovered that he could see with his right eye again. He had sought treatment from monks, but to no avail.

"I treated you a little while I was at it."

Shi Yichen shrugged and said that this minor injury was nothing to her.

"Thank you very much."

Lord Alden bowed slightly to Shi Yichen in gratitude.

"You should keep your son's body."

Shi Yichen looked at Lord Alden.

"Yes, Wilt's body has been kept in the mansion."

Lord Alden told Shi Yichen that his son could not be known to anyone at this stage that he had died in battle, so he was not buried, but sealed away with magic.

"Take me there, and don't stand outside the door, Shutalk."

Shi Yichen looked at Lord Alden and then spoke to Hugh Tarek, who was standing outside the door. He guessed that Hugh Tarek had come to Lord Alden, but he hadn't expected to be there as well, so he had no choice but to wait outside.

Lord Alden led Shi Yichen and Hugh Tarker to a secret room, in the middle of which was a coffin containing the body of Lord Alden's eldest son, Wilt.

“You really do look a lot like me, Shutark.”

Shi Yichen looked at Wilt in the coffin and said to Hugh Tarker.

"So what are you going to do next?"

Lord Alden looked at Shi Yichen.

"Wait a minute and you'll find out."

Shi Yichen stepped forward, pointed his hand at the coffin, and broke the sealing magic on the coffin.

"Time Rewind"

Shi Yichen reached out and aimed at Wilt's corpse, casting a time reversal spell. Suddenly, a huge clock appeared behind Shi Yichen, and the hands on the clock were rapidly going backward.

(Refer to Kurumi)

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After three chimes, Shi Yichen withdrew his magic.
