In the Kingdom of Loen, Backlund, inside Earl Hall's mansion.
Audrey sat before the piano, staring blankly at the sheet music.
"Audrey, you've been a bit down since Viscount Glaint's servant came by," Susie said. "Is Glaint breaking up with you?"
Audrey was taken aback: "Susie, why would you interpret it that way?"
Susie stuck out her tongue and grinned, her dog mouth wide open: "You seem a little reluctant, a little confused, and a little annoyed, like you're determined to never pay attention to Glaint again."
Audrey gave a wry smile. Susie's interpretations were all correct, but it wasn't Glaint who caused such complex emotions.
She also knew that she should bless the wedding of her two good friends, but Audrey always felt like she had encountered a betrayal among friends!
That bastard Hobert betrayed her favor towards him!
But was that really the case?
Audrey also felt that there were some other emotions inside, making her never want to pay attention to Hobert again.
She sighed and glanced at the invitation again. She would definitely go and offer her most sincere blessings, otherwise, she would appear unreasonable and lacking grace.
She looked at the invitation again: "January 28th, eight days from now."
Susie immediately asked: "What about eight days from now?"
Audrey smiled: "Eight days from now, we're going to attend a wedding."
"Great, I love attending weddings, especially the cake at the wedding."

Backlund North Borough, Quiet Church back street.
Lorotta, holding a red invitation, knocked and entered Captain Thomas's office. Borgia was already in the office, holding a red invitation in his hand as well.
And as Lorotta expected, there was also a red invitation on Captain Thomas's desk.
"Captain!" Lorotta raised the invitation in her hand: "What should we do?"
"What else can we do?" Thomas said with a smile: "Our colleague invited us to attend the wedding, of course, we have to go. Not only do we have to go, but we also have to prepare a gift."
Borgia took a deep breath: "Indeed, we haven't received a notice to fire Hobert yet, so theoretically, he's still our colleague."
He opened the invitation and said: "The only thing I can't figure out is, why is the wedding venue at No. 1920 in the factory district? I remember this place is an abandoned factory."
Lorotta speculated: "Hobert is still carrying such a high bounty, so he should only hold the wedding in secret.
"But when did he come back? How did we not know anything about it?"
"Perhaps he has some arrangements or plans somewhere," Thomas said. "In short, on that day, we must also be vigilant enough. After all, Hobert's other identity is a baron of the Feynapotter Kingdom."
"Yes!"
...
Not far from the Church, in a classical building.
A meeting was being held to summarize information on the Nikola Shipyard case and the Baran Fisheries Company case.
During the break, Leonard met Daly in the corridor: "You should have received it too!"
Daly smiled and pulled out a corner of the invitation from her pocket: "It's been a long time since I attended a wedding!"
Leonard smiled: "Me too, if Captain and Klein were still here…"
Halfway through the sentence, the two fell silent at the same time.
...
Cherwood Borough, Aslan-Barton Law Firm.
Jessica knocked on Barton's office door: "Lawyer Barton, I have good news for you."
As she spoke, she closed the office door and handed the red invitation to Barton.
"Whose invitation is this?" Barton asked with a smile as he opened the invitation, then suddenly stood up: "Hob…"
Then he lowered his voice: "Hobert's wedding!"
Jessica nodded.
Barton sighed for a long time: "If Chief Rex were still alive, he would be very pleased."
Jessica asked curiously: "Who is Chief Rex?"
Barton smiled: "That was a legend."
...
St. George Borough.
Benson held up the invitation in his hand: "Melissa, I think we should accept this invitation."
"But, but, he's a traitor," Melissa said. "And your exam is about to start. What if someone sees us attending the wedding of a traitor? You might be disqualified from the exam!"
"We received Hobert's warm hospitality before, Melissa," Benson said with a smile. "In the eyes of others, he may be a traitor, but we are not the Loen Kingdom. He didn't betray us, so we can't be influenced by those remarks!
"Besides, I believe that Hobert dares to hold a wedding in Backlund, he must have made some preparations. As guests, we don't need to worry about our safety."
Melissa sighed: "Okay."
She said: "If… if Klein were still here…"
Benson stood up: "That's all in the past. Our life in Backlund has just begun, and everything will be fine."
Melissa glanced at her brother: "Benson, you're at the age to get married too. I think Miss Delia from last time was very good. Why don't you want to ask her out a few more times?"
Benson was a little embarrassed by his sister's question: "That… that…"
He smiled wryly: "That's because I don't have a decent job yet. I'll think about getting married after I finish the exam."
"But you can totally prepare for the exam while making friends with some ladies and women."
"That would distract me."
"Attending a wedding won't distract you?"
"I should go read a book, Melissa." Benson almost fled to the study: "You should go review too, your entrance exam is about to start."
...
South of the Bridge District, Harvest Church.
After Emlyn entered, he put on the priest's robe of the Earth Mother Church and skillfully washed the rag, suddenly feeling something was wrong.
Looking up, he realized what was wrong. Today, Bishop Utravsky was not praying, but playing with a red invitation.
While Emlyn was curious about whose invitation it was, he was about to start working when he suddenly heard Bishop Utravsky say: "On the 28th, I have to go out to attend a wedding."
It turned out to be a wedding invitation: "Did someone invite you to officiate the wedding?"
There are halls dedicated to holding weddings, and people hold weddings almost every day.
After the Backlund Great Smog incident, the Earth Mother's believers also numbered in the hundreds, so Emlyn guessed that a believer had invited Utravsky to officiate the wedding.
"It's to attend a wedding," Utravsky said. "By the way, he specifically stated on the invitation that as a witness to his baptism, you can also go if you are free."
"The 'traitor' is getting married?"
"Who said he can't get married?"
"That… that's true."
"If you want to go too, prepare in advance."
Emlyn said: "I'm not going."
He hated this kind of occasion the most, it was better to accompany the doll at home.
Besides, he had just received a reward from Lord Nibbs, and there were many important things waiting for him.
Utravsky smiled slightly and said nothing more.
...
Tingen suburb.
Dorothy quickly came to Ulysses's villa: "I just came back from vacation and received an unexpected invitation."
Ulysses smiled rarely: "I received it too!"
"So you are going to participate?"
"Definitely going to participate!"
Dorothy smiled: "Speaking of which, I just met Hobert in Conant City. There was a very beautiful lady sitting next to him at the time. I believe the bride should be that lady."
Ulysses immediately became interested: "How old does that lady look? Where is she from? What does she do?"
Dorothy smiled wryly, regretting not asking for this information at the time.
...
Pritz Harbor, Fisheries Association.
Dorian was stunned when he received the invitation from the messenger, thinking that the messenger had sent it to the wrong person.
But when he saw Fors's name, he realized that this was originally his student's wedding.
Also sent was a letter from Fors, in which Fors first expressed her apology. The date of the wedding was determined a bit hastily.
In fact, it was only two days ago that the decision was made to invite Dorian.
Then Fors briefly introduced her fiancé. Dorian looked at the invitation again. No wonder he felt a little familiar just now. It turned out that Fors's fiancé was a "traitor!"
Fors had mentioned her fiancé before, so Dorian was slightly surprised but not surprised after receiving the invitation.
As for whether or not he betrayed the country, it was not important to Dorian, because he did not have much sense of belonging to the Loen Kingdom.
Dorian was just considering whether to attend the wedding? After all, Hobert seemed to be a member of a Sequence family and might have some risks.
Finally, Dorian suddenly seemed to have made up his mind: He had to attend, otherwise, it would be a distrust of Fors!
Since the other party sent the invitation so seriously, the degree of danger should not be high.
...
Feynapotter Kingdom, Jeffrey Territory.
Hobert looked at his pocket watch. It was already 2:55 PM, and it was almost time for the Tarot Gathering.
He always felt that he hadn't done much, and it was Monday again.
And next week will definitely be busier.
Thinking of this, he sighed for a long time. He didn't expect the wedding preparations to be so complicated!
Thinking about it, Hobert's vision was shrouded in gray fog. This week's Tarot Gathering began!
Coming to the giant hall again, Hobert suddenly found an extra person on the opposite side: Huh? Miss Hermit is online!
Everyone also saw the new member, and "Justice" Audrey still greeted everyone one by one as usual.
Through her greetings, "Hermit" Cattleya also knew the code names of other members.
"The Fool" Klein only mentioned: "This is Miss Hermit."
Everyone began to look at each other. Although there was gray fog blocking it, Hobert could still see that the new member was wearing a black robe with many occult patterns on it, and he could also see that her hair was black.
"Hanged Man" Alger had already associated with the "Admiral of Stars" he had seen at a pirate conference and guessed that this should be "Admiral of Stars" Cattleya.
Audrey, through her observation, believed that the new member's Sequence was not low, and she looked very stable and confident.
At the same time, Cattleya was also observing other members: "'Justice' is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. From her clothes and jewelry, it is not difficult to see that she is very rich and has the manners of a noble. She should be a noble of Loen.
"'Hanged Man', in his thirties, with relatively rare dark blue hair. This is a mutation of the 'Sailor' path. He is wearing a robe with patterns of storms and waves... a member of the Storm Church?
"'The Sun' is not very old, and the style of his clothes is rare, with a simple beauty. It is quite tight and suitable for combat. Is he a Beyonder in this area?
"'The World'... Huh, he has a feeling of being non-living!
"'The Magician' is wearing a common Loen-style dress. Except for looking a little lazy, there is nothing special about her.
"'The Moon' is sitting casually, wearing a priest's robe of the Earth Mother. There is only one possibility for such a combination, a vampire!
"'The Emperor' looks to be in his twenties, wearing Feynapotter-style clothes, very restrained and confident. His Sequence should not be low."
After everyone had a new understanding of each other, Audrey turned to the top of the bronze long table: "Mr. Fool, I only collected one page of Roselle's diary this week."
Earl Hall's family was preparing to return to their fief in East Chester County, so Audrey didn't have time to contact the people from the "Psychology Alchemists" this week.
Because of the addition of new members, she cautiously did not mention the "Psychology Alchemists" or Backlund.
Roselle's Diary? Cattleya almost looked sharply at Miss Justice. She clearly remembered that the tall and beautiful figure had once sighed:
"That's not a note, it's his diary, but no one but him will be able to understand it."
For a time, doubts and shocking thoughts arose in Cattleya's mind: The members of the Tarot Club know that Roselle's notes are diaries? Mr. Fool is collecting Roselle's diaries? Is He doing this kind of cracking, trying to find the secrets hidden in that period of history?
Fors said with a smile: "Mr. Fool, I got three pages."
That was sent by Dorian with the letter. In the letter, he congratulated Fors and said that he would definitely come to the wedding.
"The Sun" Derrick followed closely: "Mr. Fool, I have a new copy of the ancient god legends."
"The Moon" Emlyn glanced at "The Sun": He always uses the ancient god legends to perfunctorily. At the last gathering, "The Emperor" clearly introduced the ancient gods so clearly!
"Very good!" After Klein received the manifested content, he browsed through it casually, seemingly at random.
Cattleya noticed: Mr. Fool doesn't seem to be cracking it. He, He can understand Emperor Roselle's diary?
But soon, she restrained her emotions and looked at the surface of the bronze long table.
However, the shock that Cattleya had just shown was still captured by Audrey: Miss Hermit's reaction to Mr. Fool being able to understand Roselle's diary is beyond my imagination. She cares about this matter!
