Chapter 761
What happened? Klein instantly tensed up .
He had experienced too many accidents in the past, and he knew that he easily found himself involved in Beyonder matters . Upon encountering something similar, he couldn't help but subconsciously be on alert . It did resemble some form of post-traumatic stress disorder .
After seriously watching Hazel Macht's figure disappear from the staircase, Klein sensed that she was only in a hurry and wasn't panicking .
This means that she has the matter under control… Besides, Macht is a Member of Parliament of the House of Commons, a member of high society just below the nobles in the kingdom . There should be Beyonders around protecting him . Yes, Earl Hall's eldest son is here too, so his bodyguards must be Beyonders as well… Besides, Saint Samuel Cathedral is only a ten-minute carriage ride from Böklund Street . If anything were to really happen, the Nighthawks, priests, and bishops would rush over… Unless one has made up their mind to sacrifice themselves, no one would create an accident at this ball… Klein gradually calmed down and had another guess regarding Hazel's situation .
She was rushing to the third story to resolve the negative effects of the mystical item!
The question Klein had asked Arrodes previously was where he could obtain a mystical item which could steal the Beyonder powers of others, and one of the answers he received was Hazel Macht!
Thinking back to their dance, Hazel's image rapidly reconstructed in Klein's mind with her different accessories as his focus .
Hair ornaments, earrings, necklace, brooch, fishnet gloves… Which one could it be? Klein retracted his gaze and found himself thirsty . Hence, he picked up a cup of water and downed it .
Just as he put down the cup, he saw his etiquette teacher, Wahana Heisen approach him with a plate .
This lady was dressed in a red dress, but she didn't look tawdry . She smiled at Dwayne Dantès and said, "I noticed that you don't enjoy drinking alcohol . "
"I've once missed an important matter as a result of drinking," Klein randomly fleshed up Dwayne Dantès's character as an experienced person with depth .
Of course, he knew how to restrain himself . He didn't use his Faceless powers to remove a finger to prove how determined he was when making that former oath .
When Wahana heard that, she smiled in thought .
"Your past is filled with mystery . This is fatally attractive to many young ladies . "
She didn't continue on the topic as she said, "I forgot to tell you that the problem my husband faced has been resolved . "
Klein picked up a cup of champagne and raised it . He then said with a smile, "This is something to be happy about . Congratulations . "
He didn't mention anything about him helping in secret .
Wahana gave him a deep, penetrating look as she raised the cup of red wine in her hand .
"Cheers . "
After clinking cups and taking a sip, Klein politely excused himself, put down his cup, and headed for the washroom .
This wasn't because he wanted to head above the gray fog, but was solely due to the negative effects of Death Knell . He had drunk too much water and needed to relieve himself .
When he walked out of the washroom, Klein looked up at the staircase that led from the second story to the third story . He found Hazel Macht walking down with unhurried footsteps . She wore an unperturbed expression .
Indeed, it wasn't a huge problem… It's likely a result of the negative side effects of the mystical item she possesses… I wonder what it is… Klein heaved a sigh of relief as he casually swept the dance floor . During the interlude between two songs, he walked over to a lady and invited her to a dance .
With Dwayne Dantès's appearance and bearing, his invitation was undoubtedly accepted .
With him dancing, eating, chatting, and eating again, the ball slowly came to an end as the guests bade farewell one after another .
Having completed his mission of exchanging name cards, Klein did the same . However, he wasn't the first or last person to leave .
The hall soon turned silent as Ma'am Riana monitored the servants while they cleaned up the area . Meanwhile, she beckoned for her daughter, Hazel Macht .
"Mr . Dwayne Dantès's performance was better than I imagined . Many ladies had even asked me about him in private," Ma'am Riana said in a veiled manner . "Hazel, what's your impression of him when you were dancing and chatting with him? You're a lot more mature than girls your age . I believe in your taste and judgment . "
She knew her daughter very well, and she had deliberately added the last sentence; otherwise, Hazel was unlikely to be interested in giving a detailed answer .
Hazel wasn't that arrogant when facing her mother . She said after some thought, "He's not very familiar with this circle, and he easily mentions topics that can be offensive, but he's very knowledgeable . "
"Very knowledgeable…" Ma'am Riana was slightly surprised as she repeated her daughter's words .
With her understanding of Hazel, this was a rather good compliment .
She couldn't help but be worried that her daughter had taken a liking to Dwayne Dantès .
Hazel thinks little of the eligible bachelors around her because they are too young, inexperienced, and incapable? Dwayne Dantès happens to be the kind of man that girls who mature early like… Riana suddenly felt a little regret inviting the gentleman to the ball .
She knew that with Hazel's personality, she might very well elope if she were to suffer any objection to her newfound love .
