Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 986 274: Banquet of Shadows, We Shall Meet at the End of the Road (10K)

After a night of stargazing, they fell asleep in each other's arms, waking up with the sky already bright.

Today would probably be the last night for mages from various forces to stay in Golden City. This event, said to be a Mage Festival, was more like a celebration of Kael's ascension to the position of Magic Monarch.

The surging waves on the water's surface, along with the eerie undercurrents below, unfolded simultaneously on the open and hidden fronts, finally drawing to a close.

Tonight, there would be a small farewell soirée organized by the Golden City Mage Association for mages from all sides.

However, this time, Kael thought it would probably not be like the last one, where he didn't even have a chance to relax, having to handle wave after wave of questions and sycophants.

Regarding this matter, the Golden City Mage Association gave a straightforward response: "Unlike before, many mages have been informed in advance that tonight is merely a banquet and ball, and it's hoped that no discussions concerning collaborations between mage forces will take place during the ball.

Or they could just touch on matters briefly, leaving the detailed discussions till after the soirée at other locations."

This was the original statement from the mage responsible for the relevant matters from Golden City.

To this, Kael gave a small nod of approval.

Although he was not particularly averse to socializing and could almost be considered a social butterfly, after being busy for long, he finally hoped for a slightly more relaxing stage.

To be honest, Kael was previously both somewhat disdainful and curious about this kind of petite bourgeoisie social soirée.

What he disliked was the stifling and restrictive atmosphere at such social events, as fundamentally he still wanted a life unbound by anyone.

But he was a bit curious about this scene where everyone dressed elegantly, donning deceptive social masks, engaging in conversation, and dancing at the event.

Hmm, after experiencing it once, the curiosity was gone, and what remained was only dislike.

But, who would have expected that this soirée allows bringing someone along?

Kael and Elanna's engagement feast was originally planned around the visit of the Bartlet Monarch, and for this, all involved at Titan City were prepared...

But the unforeseen happened too quickly, and Kael couldn't make a lifetime promise to Elanna on that star-filled night, which admittedly was a regret.

However…

At least from this evening onwards, let everything be a full stop for the King, and start anew from today on a new path in life.

Being called Lady Helois is not bad at all.

Quickly, the evening came.

As it turned out, this soirée was indeed just an ordinary farewell soirée, as the staff from the Golden City Mage Association had said.

There were no elaborate rituals or ceremonies, and not many discussions about collaborations and communications between mage forces; the event smoothly unfolded with the help of many.

Hiding backstage, Kael glanced at the scene and noticed that the venue, adorned with flowers and balloons, had been livened up a bit more festively.

Kael chuckled softly and said to the nearby staff from the Golden City Mage Association:

"You really went to a lot of trouble, making extra efforts to help organize this soirée for me."

In his past life, Kael had organized related guild meeting events offline. For those who came to participate offline, they could enjoy the lively atmosphere.

But for Kael, who was the organizer back then, the staff busy preparing at the back almost had no time to participate in the event.

So Kael was indeed grateful for Golden City willing to make arrangements for him.

The mage responsible for arranging and organizing, when hearing what Kael said, chuckled and said:

"Though we were pressed for time with some minor troubles, this Mage Festival emerged because of you, and it lets the entire Federation benefit, not just the Mage Academia but mages worldwide will be benefited immensely because of you.

To be able to help Helois Monarch in such small matters is truly an honor for our Golden City Mage Association."

Kael nodded slightly.

No matter the previous circumstances, this soirée was now, under Kael's influence, heading in the direction he hoped for.

As the melodious music of the soirée began, the arrival of some guests, enchanted by the elegant decorations and melodious music, invigorated the atmosphere of the venue.

Standing in a side hall, seeing the various scenes inside through the door gap, Kael chuckled softly, unconsciously feeling the rising anticipation deep inside him.

"Sometimes I wonder if setting one's course and goal for the future right now is truly the correct choice?"

Kael murmured softly.

The mage from the Golden City Mage Association smiled and said: "Actually, for you, no matter what kind of life you bring to your other half now, there exists no situation where you wouldn't be suited for it. Sometimes I also think, if someday I become the Magic Monarch, what would I do?"

Kael glanced at him, smiled, and said: "If you were, what would you choose?"

"I would choose to go with the flow. If there must be an engagement, then engage with the one I love most. If by some chance, my heart is split into many pieces, then I would insist on keeping all those I love by my side."
