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

Chapter 989 274: Banquet of Shadows, We Shall Meet at the End of the Road (10K)

With a businesslike smile on his face, as if completing a task, he glanced around the room from left to right and then nodded.

These were some little tricks he had mentioned to her before; this would make everyone feel that he was noticing them, and for those with special status, such simple tricks and gestures were enough to win a bit of goodwill from many.

In reality, this was just some necessary and common social understanding tactic.

Finally, when his gaze swept across the entire room, those beautiful blue eyes fell directly on Elanna's position.

The moment their eyes met, Kael's eyes lit up slightly.

...

[Time: Not long after receiving the news of tomorrow's banquet in the evening]

[Location: Golden City Mage Association·President's Office]

"Come in, the door's not locked... Huh? Helois Monarch, what brings you here?" The President of the Golden City Mage Association looked somewhat surprised at Kael in the doorway.

Kael nodded towards the President and said somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry to disturb you, President. I mainly heard about the banquet tonight and wanted to discuss something with you. Do you have some time now?"

"Of course, I was just about to find you regarding tomorrow night's related activities; I didn't expect you'd come to me before I had the chance."

The President of the Golden City Mage Association smiled calmly.

No matter whether there were pressing matters at hand or not, even if there were, those matters would need to be set aside. At this moment, concerning Golden City, the Duchy of Englans, and the Bell Federation, Helois Monarch's matters were of utmost importance.

Such priorities, the old President understood well.

Kael sighed and said, "Actually..."

The President was a bit surprised, "It's not the first time I've met you. Back when I interacted with your teacher at the Secret Scroll Mage Academy, I communicated with you quite a lot. It's my first time seeing you like this, Helois Monarch; it's quite refreshing, haha!

What do your admirers say about you? A flawless mage, an aspirational leader, haha. To be honest, seeing you like this now, you seem to lack a bit of unrealness, making you appear closer to that perfection."

Kael was helpless, "Although I want to argue with you, it does seem to be the case?"

The President sighed, clapped his hands, and in an instant, a domain spread from the center around the old President.

After completing this setup, he turned his gaze back to Kael and said, "Even though I can't compare to you magic monarchs, I am still a legendary mage, and I am pretty confident in my identity and strength.

So, what is it? Judging by your expression, it doesn't seem related to the Floating City Alliance or those hidden matters in Lancaster Territory, and it involves the banquet too.

I heard from my staff that you specifically requested the creation of a documentary for tomorrow's screening, using designated images in your part.

Did you have a fight with your sweetheart or is there a little friction, and you want to use some romantic gestures later on to stir her up a bit?"

Kael: "...It's not just because of that, it's considered part of another backup plan outside the Floating City plan."

The President chuckled, "So I got the other half right?"

Kael: "Actually, it's not a fight. I just feel a bit frustrated at times. I don't know how to express it... sometimes I don't want her to empathize so much with me but to consider herself more.

But I don't know what to do, and I'm worried she'll tolerate me time and again instead."

The President laughed heartily, slapping the table, "Hahaha, your current expression is really something. It's a pity there's no Recording Crystal in this office; otherwise, if captured and sent outside, countless marriageable daughters would have their hearts stolen by you."

Then he half-jokingly scolded, "Keep it up; that Luxius fellow is no good, knowing only how to play with monster girls, and can't even deal with a single woman thoroughly, good for nothing.

Looks like whether I'll get a chance to witness the new generation before I die still relies on you, boy."

Kael was momentarily embarrassed.

How did the conversation end up with the President scolding?

But Kael also knew, the old President indeed had the qualification to gripe about Luxius a bit.

After all, when Mr. Luxius was still in school, he had to respectfully refer to the old President as "Principal" here.

Furthermore, Mr. Luxius had clearly mentioned to Kael that on the list of absolutely trustworthy individuals in Golden City, there was the old President who had been communicating with the Secret Scroll Mage Academy over the years.

If not for that, Kael wouldn't have come here in the middle of the night...

Kael chuckled, "Well, let's forget it. Such expressions should be left for her to see first."

The old President chuckled with a snort, "You young ones, always showing off your love to us old bones here. We can't handle that.

But I see you're quite clear in your heart, aren't you? What she needs most and what you can bring to her?"

Kael, momentarily at a loss, softly said, "I know, it's just that sometimes I'm afraid she'll reject me, even if the likelihood is very very low."
