Incognito Visit

After breakfast, Ye Wei'an was preparing to head to the Royal Court when a servant suddenly came to announce that two noble ladies downstairs were requesting an audience.

Ye Wei'an inquired about their identities, and the waiter respectfully replied, "One of them identified herself as Ms. Valona Jin Yu, saying she was Marans Jin Yu's sister and had come specifically to apologize on behalf of her brother."

Upon hearing this name, Ye Wei'an remained silent for a moment.

He recalled the infuriating harassment from yesterday, and a surge of anger rose within him. Neither in his past life nor in this one, he had ever been treated like this before.

However, since the other party came to apologize rather than cause trouble, and as the saying goes, "one doesn't hit a smiling face," he was curious to see how this young lady from the Jin family and the "helper" she had invited planned to resolve the matter.

"Please ask them to wait a moment, I'll be right down."

In the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, he met two noble ladies who were waiting.

Through the system, Ye Wei'an immediately recognized their identities.

The woman standing in front, with blonde hair and blue eyes, was radiant; it was Valona Golden Feather. The other woman, with brown hair and blue eyes, possessed an elegant demeanor, and even in simple attire, her extraordinary aura could not be concealed—it was Princess Redra Obisthir.

To be honest, both of these girls are exceptionally beautiful.

Princess Redra, in particular, possessed a beauty that Ye Wei'an had never witnessed before. Even Elaine and Lina could only compare to her in appearance; in terms of temperament, they were completely outshone.

In fact, Ye Wei'an had long heard of the princess's reputation.

People say she inherited the iron fist and strategy of "Iron Princess" Yalussel Obaiszir when she ruled Cormier, the intelligence of Yalussel's elder sister Tanarasta Obaiszir, the charm of their mother, the former First Beauty, "Dragon Queen" Fairfarel Arzune IV, and even the decisive temperament of Cormier's founding queen, Gantara.

These four women are arguably the most famous women in the history of the Cormier royal family.

But Ye Wei'an's praise ended there.

If it were yesterday, he would probably have secretly admired such a noble and stunningly beautiful young woman. But today, he only felt that they were "not bad," and nothing more stirred within him.

The reason is simple—

Who told him to have looked in the mirror this morning?

Having witnessed his extraordinary appearance, which surpassed 21 points of charm, the beauty of the two people before him, however dazzling, ultimately remained at the level of "mortals."

He can now say this:

"I never care whether my friends are pretty or not, because none of them are as pretty as me anyway."

The two noblewomen reacted very differently.

The moment Ye Wei'an's face came into view, they seemed to be struck by an invisible magic, frozen in place.

Valona's prepared apology stuck in her throat, and her eyes widened involuntarily.

Meanwhile, Ledera, who was standing beside her—a princess who had long been accustomed to all kinds of outstanding talents in the kingdom and had even jokingly told Valona that she "would never be captivated by anyone at first glance"—felt her heart skip a beat without warning, and then began to beat faster uncontrollably.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Although they had tried their best to imagine Ye Wei'an's appearance before they came, they realized that they had underestimated him when they actually saw him.

What's most captivating about Ye Wei'an is not just his exquisite features, but also the extraordinary aura that envelops him, a blend of majesty, mystery, and allure.

This is something that cannot be conveyed by words alone—only by seeing it with one's own eyes can one truly appreciate its breathtaking impact.

Valona was even beginning to understand her brother a little.

Upon seeing such a person, not only her brother, but even she herself almost lost her composure.

After a while, Redra was the first to come to her senses and quickly nudged her still dazed blonde companion.

Valona snapped back to reality, realizing her lapse in composure, and her cheeks flushed instantly.

She hurriedly lifted her skirt and performed a proper curtsy.

"Hello, Your Excellency Ye Wei'an. I am Valuna Golden Feather, the eldest daughter of the Golden Feather family. Yesterday at the Battle Mage Academy, my elder brother Marans was very offensive to you... I, on behalf of the Golden Feather family, extend my sincerest apologies to you."

Ye Wei'an did not directly respond to her apology, but only nodded slightly: "Good day, Miss Valona. And this is...

"Leah, my name is Leah, I'm Valona's friend." The brown-haired girl quickly replied, returning the greeting with perfect poise, but her gaze still lingered irresistibly on Ye Weian's face.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Valona appeared somewhat reserved.

She glanced at the guests around her, some walking and some sitting, and lowered her voice, saying, "Your Excellency Ye Wei'an, regarding my brother's offense and... the subsequent compensation, there are some details that may not be convenient to discuss publicly here. Perhaps... we could find a quieter place?"

Ye Wei'an understood her concerns and immediately summoned the hotel owner, Genome, asking him to arrange a quiet private room.

The dwarf owner courteously led the three to the second floor—a small, elegantly furnished, and well-soundproofed room.

When the waiter came in to ask if she needed drinks or snacks, Valona immediately shook her head and declined.

Ye Wei'an waved his hand, "This is none of your business. My maid can handle the affairs of the private room herself."

Upon hearing this, Valona said tactfully, "Your Excellency, what we are about to discuss involves some...private arrangements within the family."

The implication was that she didn't want any outsiders present, not even Ye Wei'an's maids.

"Lina is completely trustworthy." But Ye Wei'an still insisted: "She is not only my maid, but also handles many things for me. There is nothing in my affairs that she cannot hear about."

Seeing Ye Weian's insistence, Valona had no choice but to agree.

But in the instant their eyes met, both of them subtly lowered their opinion of Ye Wei'an:

It seems that this newly risen mage, with his extraordinary looks and considerable abilities, is not immune to the vices of being obsessed with women and excessively favoring his servants. What a pity.

Soon, the two met the maid whom Ye Wei'an insisted on trusting.

Lina then carried the tea set into the room, bowed slightly to Ye Weian and the two guests, and began to prepare the tea.

However, instead of brewing tea like an ordinary maid, she waved her hand like a conductor.

The lid of the tea canister opened automatically, and the finest tea leaves were drawn in by an invisible force and dropped into the already warmed teapot.

Hot water appeared out of nowhere and poured into the teapot, quickly and precisely reaching the desired temperature. Then, the teapot lifted itself up, tilted slightly, and a stream of amber water, as if guided, steadily poured into three teacups; the tea leaves unfurled and floated in the cups, and the tea soup gradually revealed its color.

Then, three teacups, each filled to seven-tenths full, floated steadily into the air, as if lifted by an invisible hand, and gently landed on the small saucers in front of Yevian, Valona, ​​and Redra.

Throughout the entire process, Lina simply stood there, waving her hand, without touching the tea set at all—the tea set did everything on its own.

Throughout the entire process, the teacup did not make the slightest sound of being knocked or bumped.

It's magic! And it's magic that's been manipulated with exceptional skill!

The two noble ladies suddenly realized that their earlier assessment of Ye Wei'an as "obsessed with women" suddenly seemed ridiculous.

The maid before them was not the ordinary maid who used her beauty to serve them as they had imagined, but a spellcaster of unfathomable power!

The fact that Ye Wei'an could command such a spellcaster as a close confidant suggests that his own abilities were far greater than they initially imagined.

Compared to the charm and depth Ye Wei'an displayed, his sudden increase in strength didn't seem so strange.
