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

Chapter 987 274: Banquet of Shadows, We Shall Meet at the End of the Road (10K)

"This isn't something easily achievable, sometimes everything you possess appears precious to some people but insignificant to others.

If I had such thoughts while striving in this world, perhaps I would never have had the chance to know them from the beginning?"

After speaking, Kael seemed to have thought of something, and froze for a moment.

Quickly, the smile at his lips slightly receded. After making a Mage's salute, he said, "Then I won't linger here much longer, there are still many things on the other side that need my handling.

I must trouble you with what follows."

The Mage nodded, and Kael directly walked towards the edge of the venue.

Outside, he soon saw Elanna stepping down from the carriage.

He stopped there with a smile, leaning back against the backlight, the corner of his eyes slightly upturned, his slender fingertip lazily reaching out.

"Elanna, are you ready?"

Elanna, who had just gotten off the carriage, placed her hand on Kael's fingertips and said with some doubt, "Ready for what? Didn't you call me to attend this party today?"

"In front of you, my feelings, my desires... there should be clear intentions conveyed to you, shouldn't there?"

Kael tightly gripped the girl's hand, gently pulling her closer to himself.

His fingertip brushed past Elanna's chin, lowering his head with a sense of relief, while the ambiguous light from outside the party wove around their bodies, merging their closely entwined silhouettes into a soft, overlapping shadow.

...

At the banquet, the projection stones in the hall cast scenes compiled by the Illusion Magic mages onto the white cloth at the front of the hall.

The images of what the mages experienced over the years continued to repeat on the projection stones' display.

Accompanied by the major first-rate achievement in magical theory by the mages and the supplement to the Magic World's important puzzle by the Magic Monarchs, the statement confirming the correctness and reliability of "the Helois Theory after evaluation and validation by the eight Magic Monarchs" floated past.

The scene froze with Kael coordinating with various forces, while Mr. Luxius watched him with a smiling demeanor and Senior Sister Lily hurriedly assisting Kael in dealing with guests in the picture.

The spacious banquet hall echoed with waves of applause.

Elanna, wearing the dress Kael had meticulously prepared for her, sat inside the party, experiencing mixed emotions as she joined in the applause.

Tonight, she participated as Kael's invited guest in this farewell party themed around the mages.

Now, as the images on the projection stones gradually faded away, the white cloth on the wall beside was gently drawn back, Elanna couldn't hide her surprise as she looked around once more.

The brilliant sun had already dipped below the horizon, only visible as a faint outline through the glass window at the moment.

Night had arrived, yet Elanna found herself somewhat dazed, as if the embrace with Kael at the entrance of the party had not yet ended.

The mages nearby engaged in quiet conversation, and Elanna withdrew her gaze to look at the promotional booklet for the party, with the same name imprinted on it as engraved in her heart, gently brushing her fingertips over it.

As the focal point of tonight's party, Kael's name could still be heard in the fragmented conversations of others, even though he hadn't appeared at the venue yet.

Indeed...

He was always that way, powerful and dazzling.

But she also knew that this dazzling aura placed a heavy burden on him, ever since she met Kael, he had been as busy as a spinning top due to his influence.

People from outside contacted him frequently, and if there was no need to communicate, unless like Senior Sister Lily, there was a lot of cooperation on mage research projects, it would be difficult even to see Kael.

But even with his nonstop schedule, he would still make time just to meet with her.

Elanna was naturally aware of this.

So she tried even harder, attempting to close the distance between him and herself as much as possible.

She had always known that to Kael, she was more of a burden, once Kael made enemies, she would easily become a target for insinuations from foes.

No other reason, without background and capability, in such a world, it's this miserable.

So she consistently thought that the more effort she made, the more she could, first for herself, and secondly for Kael, in case by any chance she helped reduce some stress for him?

Just as she was thinking this way, the Communication Crystal partially hidden in her chest pocket trembled slightly.

Elanna carefully took it out, then discovered that it was a message from Kael.

She paused for a moment.

Wasn't Kael preparing in the side chamber now?

In such a close distance, he still used the Communication Crystal to contact her.

But she still felt like a burglar with a treasure, sneaking quietly into a corner, taking out the Crystal Stone, and infused it with Demon Crystal. As the Communication Crystal Stone slightly lit up, Kael's voice came through:

"Did you... see the documentary earlier?"

"Yeah, what's up?"

She didn't know why, but suddenly Elanna felt like her boy was somewhat nervous and uneasy while speaking.
