So, he tried, and it was successful the first time.

At the staircase, Leonard Churchill reached out and took the delicate hand that was held out to him, smiling slightly.

Catherine Carter also gave a courteous curtsy in accordance with court etiquette.

The rhythm of the dance was upbeat, and the two stepped into the dance floor to the beat, spinning with the rhythm.

Catherine Carter had already noticed the noble emblem on Leonard’s chest and guessed that this young baron had ulterior motives.

Initially, she just wanted to make an excuse to leave, paying him no mind.

But after a single glance, she felt somewhat unusual.

It seemed inexplicably familiar.

Looking into her eyes, Leonard restrained the brilliance in his own, raising a bright smile and asking, “Miss Carter, I apologize, the music is quite loud. Did you say something to me just now?”

Catherine Carter blinked in confusion, “No.”

Leonard pondered this very seriously, “Hmm…strange, why is it that all I can hear is your voice?”

Catherine Carter was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was being teased, and she chuckled.

Her train of thought was suddenly interrupted by this slightly humorous flirtation, making her laugh.

But then, she scoffed inwardly: a clumsy performance.

Funniness and humor have always been the best ways to attract young girls.

But nothing worked on her.

However, she hadn’t realized that she had already formed an impression of the young baron in front of her.

Unbeknownst to her, many others, silently observing from the side, had noticed her unintentional smile.

The dance was a normal court dance, joyful and elegant.

But for Catherine Carter, the dance was merely an excuse to get away. When the song ended, so did this unexpected encounter.

Although this stranger, whatever his name was, was quite handsome.

But, among the pursuers she had had since childhood, the one thing she didn’t lack was good-looking gentlemen.

She wasn’t interested in an opportunistic young baron.

Leonard Churchill also expressed regret very gentlemanly.

He had known before that Catherine Carter was intelligent and arrogant, this small trick could not possibly attract her attention much.

Stopping before going too far was the best choice.

But Leonard’s goal was not to flirt with girls; it was simply to show his face.

“Charles” was probably the only one who could invite Catherine Carter to dance this evening.

This was enough to make an impression on everyone present.

It also fit the image of a destitute nobleman who was extremely keen on climbing the social ladder.

He knew how to seize every opportunity.

To hide doesn’t mean to lurk in the shadows; sometimes, being high-profile is the best disguise.

Once the dance under the spotlight ended, Leonard suddenly realized that the guys inside him really enjoyed this feeling of showing off their skills!

The Miller Family’s banquet tonight was not just for entertaining the dignitaries of Sinless City; there was another purpose.

Soon, the ball ended and the main event began.

The two former lords of the Miller Family died tragically. The acting lord was

Saul Miller s second uncle, a fat man with a horseshoe mustache.

The guests stood or sat, watching this fat man leading two double-knights into the center of the dance floor.

“We are so honored to have you all attending the Miller Family’s banquet…”

Following a series of tedious opening remarks, the fat man finally got to the point, grinning, “Our Miller Family’s hunting team recently found an ancient relic in the Old Continent and gained some new mechanical equipment that could subvert the technological level of the era. Enough talk, let’s have you all take a look.”

In the corner of the sofa, Leonard watched with interest.

He knew before coming here that the Miller Family had something new to showcase; unexpectedly, it was mechanical products.

At this announcement, the guests didn’t seem to show much interest.

You must know, currently, most mechanical products are not seen as worthy in the eyes of high tier card masters.

But the facts proved, tonight would definitely be extraordinary.

Then, the show started.

A soldier, with his right arm covered by a complex mechanical skeleton and holding a black rune inscribed single-edged longsword, strolled in, bowing to the crowd.

Everyone’s eyes fell on the man’s mechanical arm and sword.

Looking at this situation, was this man going to spar with the two heavy armored frost knights?

How absurd! Could this be possible?

This was everyone’s initial reaction.

The Miller Family’s frost armor boasted an extremely remarkable defense; even the basic soldier armor could withstand most physical and magical attacks for a first or second tier card master.

To everyone, it seemed impossible for the single-edged sword to break through the armor, unless a third tier card master used curse power.

However, just as everyone doubted, a scene full of contrast happened.

The sparring match started.

The warrior wearing the mechanical skeleton activated the switch. In an instant, the runes on the longsword in his hand lit up, turning it into a dazzling blue lightsword!

Leonard was watching this display and his eyes narrowed. 𝑅read latest ch𝒂pters at n/𝒐v(e)lbi𝒏(.)co/m

If he was not mistaken, this mechanical warrior was only first tier, right?

How did he do this?

The guests were also full of confusion.

At this moment, the lightsword warrior launched himself at the two frost knights.

Though the heavy armor offered high defense, it clearly slowed their reaction time significantly.

Evading the two large swords skillfully, the warrior slice a straightforward horizontal slash and hit the frost knight in the waist.

Originally, everyone thought they would hear a crisp metallic sound.

However, to their surprise, they saw the lightsword acting like a red-hot branding iron, corroding the rune on the armor in an instant and making a cut. Did it break through?

It was not a sharp cut, nor a high temperature, but corrosion on a law level.
