Chapter 946: Chapter 487: The Great Change of Frank 25 Years Ago_2

"I intend to set the wolf against the tiger and then reap the benefits," he declared.

Earl Yodo looked at him complexly, "Then you shouldn’t have sacrificed the Yodo Family’s territories to implement your plan."

His face revealed a flicker of excitement as he spoke, "I believe in you, Your Majesty."

"Just like before, others always assume we are destined to lose, but in the end, the victors are always the two of us."

Jalen was greatly invigorated. "Yes, exactly."

...

The banquet was held two days later. In those two days, the Frankish people had added twenty thousand more troops and invaded eleven counties on the western border of Alsace, attempting to quickly annex land amidst the current chaos in Alsace.

Meanwhile, the King of the Ancient Tomb and several of the great nobles of Alsace had also marshaled over twenty thousand troops to counterattack. For a while, the situation on both sides was tense and the outcome was uncertain.

However, Jalen’s betrayal of Alsace caused the Dragon Flame furnaces in various fortresses to sometimes malfunction.

Thus, the troops from Frank slowly advanced, besieging and gradually encroaching upon Alsace.

Ivita also used the Complete Transformation Skill, transforming into a young noble of the Yodo Family from Yodo City and entered the banquet.

Throughout the banquet, there were fruit platters everywhere. The fruits in these platters were all treated with sugar or salt since the nobles of this era always believed that nobility should not consume unprocessed food. Thus, even fruits, which normally need no preparation, had to be treated before being presented at the banquet.

Otherwise, they would be considered commoner food, unfit for the upper class.

Ivita was quite indifferent to this, feeling that adding sugar and salt actually ruined the original taste of the fruits. It was tolerable occasionally, but surely not something to be consumed consistently.

Sometimes, being a noble was truly pitiable – wanting to enjoy a normal piece of fruit seemed nearly impossible.

The banquet also featured three full sets of bands, and the dance floor was always filled with young noble men and women dancing.

The Aries witch, meanwhile, sat at the main seat of the banquet surrounded by a group of witches from the Victor Family. She sipped coffee with milk, elegantly nodding at the nobles who tried to engage with her in conversation.

She kept people at bay, perfectly exhibiting the haughty and reserved nature characteristic of the twelve original noble families of Frank.

Ivita looked at the people of the Yodo Family present at the banquet; the Yodo Family had summoned seven Superior Knights from outside, two of whom were close to breaking through to Knight Marquis.

But missing that final step made all the difference.

As per the plan, on Earl Yodo’s command, the knights present at the dance would surge forth and attack the Aries witch.

But within the disciples of the Aries witch herself there was one high-ranking witch, four Great Witches, seven official witches, and a bunch of witch servants posing as maids.

This was essentially a Witch Group.

If they were to follow Earl Yodo’s original plan, the Yodo Family would likely suffer severe losses today, perhaps leading to their decline.

Ivita walked over; since it was a dance, the Witch Group surrounding the Aries witch did not stop him.

It was only when Ivita approached that the Witch Group took notice, and the Aries witch herself looked at Ivita in surprise. She had not expected a noble of this age from Alsace to dare approach and block her view.

Had no elder told this young man not to provoke the noble Frankish people?

Ivita raised a glass, picked up a bottle of Frank champagne from the Aries witch’s table, poured some into his cup and tasted it. "Victor witch, the wine from your country has a very unique flavor."

A flash of anger passed through the Aries witch’s eyes, but instead of lashing out, she stopped the high-ranking witch next to her, who was about to speak, her direct disciple.

She narrowed her eyes at Ivita. "This is a fine Frankish wine, which you Alsasians indeed find hard to come by."

"Boy, are all you Alsasians so impolite? You see me and you don’t even bow."

The Aries witch had already intended to turn Ivita into a sheep, but as her hand reached toward her waist, she realized that before coming to the banquet, she had left her sheepskin handkerchief at her residence and hadn’t brought it with her.

She frowned slightly and said to one of her Great Witch disciples beside her, "Go to my residence and fetch my sheepskin handkerchief."

"Really, how could I forget my high-level magic."

Ivita shook his head. "I heard you’re particularly skilled in Transforming Spells."

Surprised, the Aries witch looked at Ivita and then proudly smiled. "I didn’t expect someone of your age to know about Transforming Spells. I am indeed best at them. I can turn a child into a lamb, serve it to his parents, and they will never know they ate their child. Are you scared?"

Ivita continued to shake his head.

I’ve been standing in front of you using the Complete Transformation Skill all this time, and you still haven’t noticed.

How shameful, boasting about your skill in Transforming Spells.

The Aries witch’s brows furrowed in anger. "What does your shaking your head mean?"

Ivita smiled. "Unfortunately, prior to this, I had researched the Victor Family. The Victor Family was renowned for their knighthood, but twenty-five years ago, the heir of the Victor Family suddenly awakened her magical talent during an outdoor hunting event and from then on, the Victor Family transformed into a family of wizards."
