This is a story from a long time ago. At that time, we had not yet come to hell. At that time, Lu En had not yet come to hell. At that time, he was still in the feasting and feasting of the imperial capital every day.

Another day, Lu En broke out from the crowd of people in the social circle, and Lu En sighed heavily.

It's like this every day and every night, extravagant dances, courtesans who want to do whatever they want, drinking wine until they vomit, and aristocratic talk that is hypocritical and submissive.

Discomforting.

He managed to escape easily and ended today's torture.

Returning to the villa in the imperial capital, he struggled to walk to the sofa with a cane, then threw away the cane, opened his collar, and collapsed on it.

Breathing in the cold air, there is no smell, it's really nice.

That kind of air with a floral or sweet aroma is really annoying.

But fortunately, he only needs to be responsible for these. I heard that Bai's side is more troublesome.

It is said that when the newly built Monster Academy needs to apply for financial subsidies from the academy, it is necessary to pick up a number in the general business hall on the first floor of the city hall, register at the window, submit an identity certificate, an imperial household registration card, and Lu En's own

A personal seal.

After registration, you can submit an application. The application will be reviewed within five working days. The review results can be viewed by yourself within three working days. If you fail, you can apply for a review. The review results will be posted to the public. If the application is passed, it will not be processed within the specified time.

, the qualification will automatically be invalidated.

It is said that Bai almost burned down the study because of running these things. Poor little guy, luckily Lu En could arrange for her to go.

It's been about ten minutes since I came back, but Carla didn't show up. She must have gone out.

Well, this kind of time is quite rare.

Now that everything is like this, why not just take a nap? Well... I don't want to be watched by the Gray Lady sleeping, maybe she is monitoring the entire imperial capital through the observatory.

With this in mind, Lu En patted two magic runes on his shoulders to isolate himself from the outside world's observation. This was not just about being invisible, but also blocking all information about himself from the outside world, ensuring that he could have a good sleep.

He feels that if the magic is forcibly broken, he can also receive the message,

After finishing, he decisively found a place to lie down, closed his eyes and slept.

Sleep is not a necessity for him, but it is a luxury. It is quite happy to have it from time to time.

He slept peacefully, after all, no one could disturb him.

————————

Kara just left the Imperial City for no particular reason. She felt that the Imperial City was too depressing. She went out for a walk, which lasted only three or four hours. Anyway, the master would not come back until early in the morning. By the time he came home, she would be early too.

Just went back.

After wandering around the wilderness outside the imperial capital, Black Dragon found some snacks to eat and caught a group of bison, which were very chewy.

This place is about 400 kilometers away from the Imperial Capital. Only here can we escape the surveillance of the Gray Lady. As long as she is in the Imperial Capital, Kara can feel the star observation tower watching her at any time and anywhere, which makes Long very uncomfortable.

You may not really be watching, but you can indeed see it anytime and anywhere, just like a surveillance camera. There may not necessarily be anyone in front of the display, but every move must be seen by the camera, unless it is specifically hidden.

But if you are specifically concealed, it is equivalent to covering the camera. It will easily make the empire think too much, and someone will come to ask, are you trying to hide something big?

Human beings are so disgusting.

She kept wandering outside to the treetops above the moon, thinking that it was almost time for her master to end the dance, so she spread her wings and prepared to go home.

In order to prevent herself from scaring the flowers and plants on the roadside and ordinary people, she specially blessed herself with Invisibility 3, so that no ordinary people would see her. This has happened before, when she was a giant dragon with a wingspan of hundreds of meters.

When it whizzes past, not to mention the appearance, just the power of the dragon is enough to make some people's hearts stop.

Remaining invisible, she returned to the imperial capital, resumed her human form, and walked into the city gate.

However, when she reached the road, someone suddenly stopped her.

It was a man wearing an exquisite dress. He looked to be in his forties, but he was not luxurious and did not have the common decorations of aristocrats. He should be a servant or retainer.

"Hello, Miss Carla, I am Count Fondu's housekeeper. My master sincerely invites you... ah!"

Kalali didn't pay any attention to him and just bumped into him. He didn't even think about changing directions and went around, but he knocked the opponent away and rolled on the ground several times, leaving his face bruised and swollen.

There was no answer, no expression, no change in the direction of travel, and not even a move in his eyes. It was as if he had never seen this person before.

Completely indifferent to everyone and completely ignoring the existence of other people, this is Kara's image outside.

She never gives orders to those of low status, nor does she show off her power arrogantly.

She would not give a second glance to a person of noble status. Even if the person held a title and held great power, her attitude would always be the same, that is, she would treat them as if they did not exist.

Without even a simple "I won't go", she just left without raising her eyes.

But the man got up quickly, ignoring his injuries, and rushed up in a panic: "Miss Carla! This is what the master asked me to give to you, he said! This is something that will be used in the masquerade party!"

This masquerade party has invited many people, including His Excellency Count Anluo, who will also appear at that time. I hope you can show up to give him a surprise!"

He hurriedly caught up and handed him a suitcase.

Masquerade, one of the favorite entertainment methods of the imperial nobles, uses disguise, magic, alchemy and other means to disguise oneself as another person, or another species, or even a fantasy creature or some other species that does not exist in reality.

The characters in the novel and drama then attend a dance together, play their own roles, and then hide their identities at the dance and look for the identities of other people. In the end, the person who is not discovered will become the big winner of the dance. Generally speaking, it will be

If you get the lottery promised at the beginning, you may even win the favor of noble ladies.

Because the imperial nobles felt that such a game could prove the participants' intelligence, observation, and ability to control themselves.

Kara brushed it off, and as usual, she couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

but……

"What did you say? The master will also participate?" She reacted and looked back at the housekeeper.

"Yes, Count Anluo has promised my master. Imagine that you can dress up as someone else at the ball and give him a big surprise!" the butler said.

"Why do you do this?" Kara asked, her tone cold and with almost no emotion.

"Uh... Well, my master made a bet with others... The content is that who can invite you, a beauty whom no one pays attention to, to the ball he holds. He specifically asked me not to do anything to you.

You have something to hide, and it’s up to you to decide whether to go or not. Nothing impolite will happen!” the butler quickly explained, taking out a handkerchief and wiping his sweat.

Impolite things? Are you kidding? This aunt is a level 9 ancient dragon. There are only a few dozen people in the entire empire who can talk to her on an equal footing. And there is Count Anluo standing behind her, who is a new member of the empire recently.

Jin's top nobles!

He single-handedly defeated the resistance of Archduke Trela, united many new monster nobles to form a new political party, and was appointed by the emperor. He is about to leave for hell to supervise the construction of the Styx Water Plant!

That is the Styx Water Plant. Once the construction is successful, how much benefit can you get from it as a construction supervisor!?

I really can’t even think about it.

After Kara heard this, she threw the suitcase away.

She was not interested in this kind of thing at all. The master had too many dances to attend, and she didn't want to participate at all.

After throwing it away, she turned around and left.

"Miss Carla! My master also said it! This thing was said by Count Anluo himself as his favorite outfit!" the housekeeper chased after Carla and shouted at her back.

Kara didn't react at all and disappeared into the crowd.

It really disappeared because she used Stealth 3 and Stealth 3 at the same time, and she really didn't want to hear it anymore.

However, after taking a few steps, Kara, who had completely disappeared from the eyes of others, turned around and looked at the box on the roadside.

"The master said it himself...favorite outfit?"

She didn't really believe this. The master had always been an extremely restrained and steady person. He focused on thinking and didn't like to talk nonsense. He was always thoughtful about the details of all problems.

Such people, even when eating, drinking and having fun with those nobles, are very restrained and will not mess with the relationship between men and women.

Carla believed this very much. No one in the world understood Count Anluo better than she did.

But...

What if?

So, when the housekeeper sighed and left, the box that was thrown on the ground disappeared silently.

She returned home silently.

As soon as she entered the door, she immediately observed that more than ten level 3 skills that could be used to detect situations were activated at the same time.

Well... there's no one there, but the owner's coat is hanging on the hanger, which means he's back.

Maybe he came back first and then went out. This kind of thing is not uncommon. Maybe after the dance, he encountered some unexpected situation that needed to be dealt with. For example, there was some trouble in Bai's place, or maybe a certain noble came to him.

It is possible to discuss some cooperation matters in secret.

He wouldn't take a photo of himself hiding in the shadows at home, would he? There's no need for that.

Thinking about this, she looked at the box she was carrying on her tail.

It contains props for a masquerade party. According to Count Vondu, it contains the owner's self-proclaimed "favorite costume."

The owner's favorite.

favorite……

She didn't want to be driven by such thoughts, but she still took this thing back without knowing why.

Anyway, the owner is not at home, so he has brought everything back. Why not take it apart and see what is inside?
