In an hour, Locke had a good wash.
In the mirror, the young man’s eyes were deep and bright, and on his slightly pale face, his immature had already been replaced by fortitude.
Looking at his handso face, Locke couldn’t help but sigh, “I finally recover my original appearance.”
In the past ten days, he had also used the water magic to take a few simple baths, but he had basically washed his body roughly, it was not as comfortable as lying in the bathtub like this.
After washing, Locke didn’t waste any more ti, opened the door, and went out. Tonight, Count Peter held a dinner party and invited Locke to join.
“Why hasn’t he co out yet?”
The maid Vera said impatiently.
Finally, she heard the door open. She raised her head slowly. However, the next mont, her eyes suddenly trembled, and the whole person was like a stone statue.
A few seconds later, Vera covered her mouth and said in a dull tone, “You are Locke…”
It was not her fault to be so surprised.
At this ti, Locke was wearing a black robe. He had a handso face and a tall figure. Because of his practice in the small universe, there was a trace of extraordinary temperant on his body, which was totally different from his previous ssy appearance.
Looking at the shocked Vera, Locke teased, “We haven’t seen each other for only a while. Don’t you know ? Please lead the way.”
Vera nodded numbly, then stiffly took Locke to the dining room.
In the dining room, three people had already sat down on the chairs.
“Irene, there is a piece of news from the Imperial Mage Academy that a training team from the Imperial Mage Academy will pass through here in two days. You will go to the imperial capital with them then. I didn’t expect that the old man you saved before would really keep his words and asked for the qualification to enter the Imperial Mage Academy for you.”
Count Peter said with a smile. At that ti, the old man said that he could help Irene enter the Imperial Mage Academy, but they just took it as a joke. They did not expect that less than a month later, the Imperial Mage Academy really sent an offer letter.
“Okay.”
Irene nodded slightly without saying anything. She didn’t know what Locke’s plan was. Did it an that they would never see each other again after she went to the Imperial Mage Academy…
Irene had mixed feelings.
Seeing that Irene was preoccupied, Mrs. Peter interrupted the garrulous Count Peter, “Peter, our daughter just ca back. Please let her stay alone for a while.”
A figure ca in slowly from the door.
Irene raised her head slightly and saw a young man walking toward her. The young man was pretty handso, with a faint smile on his face, making people feel like bathing in the spring breeze.
This was Locke…
Looking at the handso young man in the distance, Irene felt her heart beat faster and faster and had the hots for him.
Looking at her daughter’s appearance, Mrs. Peter, who is Irene’s mother, instantly understood what Irene was thinking. Irene liked this boy.
“Oh, Mr. Capet, you’re finally here.”
However, Count Peter didn’t notice the change in Irene at all. He stood up to greet Locke warmly.
What shocked him more was that the man who could defeat the level-7 practitioner was so young!
When he first t Locke, Locke didn’t have a breathing space, so he didn’t really see Locke’s face until now.
“Thank you for your invitation, Sir Count and Mrs. Peter.”
Locke bent down slightly to perform a noble etiquette.
“Mr. Capet.” Mrs. Peter nodded with a smile.
Locke looked at Irene and greeted, “Good evening, Irene.”
Noticing that Locke was looking at her, Irene ca to herself and hurriedly greeted, “Welco, Locke.”
After Locke took his seat, the maids began to serve the dishes.
“Mr. Capet, I heard that you are from the Grimm Kingdom?”
During the al, Mrs. Peter asked with a smile.
Locke nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, I’m from the Grimm Kingdom.”
However, he had an illusion that Mrs. Peter was looking at him with a sense of scrutiny. That feeling was not like the eyes of a host to a guest, but like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
“Grimm Kingdom, it’s a nice place with beautiful scenery.” Count Peter looked as if he was recalling sothing.
Locke was a little surprised. “Have you ever been to the Grimm Kingdom?”
Mrs. Peter nodded, with a trace of mory on her face. “Yes, we had wandered around many places when we were young. We didn’t return to this city and settle down until we had Irene.”
“I didn’t expect that you were once wanderers.”
Locke sighed.
“Forget it.” Mrs. Peter looked at Locke and asked, “Mr. Capet, what’s your next arrangent? If you are willing to, you can be the visiting master of our family.”
Seeing that Mrs. Peter invited Locke to stay with the Peter family, Irene’s eyes lit up and she looked at Locke next to her.
Locke shook his head and refused with a smile, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Peter. I don’t have a plan to stay in the kingdom for a long ti.”
Hearing this, Irene’s eyes dimd a little.
“But,” Locke paused for a while and said helplessly, “The injury in my body is still very serious, so I want to find a high-level healer first. I don’t know if Sir Count and Mrs. Peter have any channel to contact a high-level healer.”
Hearing that Locke was still injured, Count Peter’s face changed slightly. He couldn’t believe that this young man in front of him could defeat a level-7 warrior even though he was injured!
Mrs. Peter was also surprised.
“We can help you with that.”
After exclaiming, Mrs. Peter said slowly, “In the imperial capital, we have an old acquaintance with a level-8 healer. Maybe we can ask him to help you solve the hidden peril in your body.”
Locke was overjoyed and said, “Thank you, Mrs. Peter.”
After a warm al, Irene offered to show him around the bustling city.
Locke had planned to go back to practice, but when he saw that Irene was so enthusiastic, he was too embarrassed to refuse. Then, led by Irene, they walked out of the count’s mansion.
“Dear Wendy, have you noticed that Irene seems a little different?”
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Count Peter thought for a long ti and turned to say to Mrs. Peter beside him.
Mrs. Peter rolled her eyes at Count Peter and asked, “You just found it out?”
“I think our daughter has fallen in love with Locke.”
“She fell in love with Locke?!”
Count Peter was shocked, but then he seed to realize sothing. He thought about it carefully and found that since Locke entered the restaurant, Irene’s eyes had never left Locke. That was right, Irene’s eyes at Locke with no other possibility than like.
“But I don’t think Mr. Capet has any feelings for Irene.” Count Peter said with a frown.
“It proves that he is a trustworthy man and is not attracted to beauty.” Mrs. Peter smiled. “That’s why I invited Locke to the imperial capital with Irene. Next, it’s up to Irene.”
“It turns out that you have such an intention to let Locke go to the imperial capital with Irene.” Count Peter praised, “You are so smart, my lady.”
“As a mother, I have to plan for Irene’s happiness.”
“Although Locke cos from a small kingdom, he is upright and has a decent conversation. Most importantly, he is talented and powerful. If the two can be together, I think he will treat Irene well.”
Count Peter nodded in agreent, “Locke is much better than Doyle Alves.”
“But I think Irene is still a little reserved. At the critical mont, it still depends on us.” Mrs. Peter’s eyes sparkled as if she was thinking about how to bring Irene and Locke together.
When the Peter couple “preditated” how to make a match between Locke and Irene, the two of them had already co to the street.
