Reincarnated without a job, the vampire lady must show her true abilities.

Chapter 50: Inside the Banquet Hall

With the teacher gone, Luo Qixi was left alone in the banquet hall.

Although the teacher said she was going to wander around and stuff... but I don't know anyone here... Feeling a bit out of place, Luo Qixi shrank into a corner and sat in the chair in place of the teacher.

This place seems even more lively than the banquet in the Kingdom of Lanoa back then, with noisy sounds, dancing music, and if you look closely, you can even see some nobles embracing and kissing...

How shameless!

Luo Qixi covered her face and peeked at the people through her fingers.

Then she saw a somewhat familiar figure, a young man with slightly curly short hair, standing at the edge of the banquet, stroking the tail of an orc maid.

"Huh?" He seemed to sense something and turned his head slightly to look at Luo Qixi.

"Hmm!"

"I...I was seen..." Luo Qixi lowered her head awkwardly, but then heard footsteps approaching.

"It's been a while, Miss Migludia." The newcomer spoke slowly, forcing Loki to carefully raise her head.

Upon closer inspection, Loki realized that the man in front of her was Mr. Philip, whom she had met at the banquet in the Kingdom of Lanoa, the Philip of the Boreas Grerat family.

I never expected to run into him again...

But he actually does like beastmen, just like his teacher said?

Even now, a blushing, beast-eared maid stands beside him.

"You may leave now," Philip said softly to the maid, seemingly noticing something.

"..." The maid pursed her lips and carefully left the place.

For a moment, only Loki and Philip remained in the corner.

"Miss Migludia came with Lady Sylvania, didn't she?" Philip asked with a smile. "I saw her just now and was wondering if you were here."

"Yes...yes." Loki was now genuinely afraid of these Asura nobles, or rather, all nobles...these guys really had absolutely no sense of propriety!

Seeing her like this, Philip smiled and shook his head, saying, "Please don't misunderstand, Miss Migludia."

"I was just touching the orc's tail... Honestly, who wouldn't want to touch that furry tail?"

I don't want to at all... but the teacher's pointed ears felt... um, what am I thinking!

Loki patted her face to wake herself up, and her action made Philip's smile widen.

"If I remember correctly, Miss Migludia should be graduating soon... Do you have any thoughts on what we discussed last time?" Philip said casually, taking a glass of red wine from the waiter.

He took a small sip of red wine and looked at Luo Qixi expectantly.

"I want to... think about it some more." Actually, Luo Qixi was very tempted at the time, but after so much time and thought about it... she wasn't so tempted anymore.

"I can pay you four Asura gold coins a month," Philip said slowly, "and that's only for your current strength."

Four Asura gold coins?!

It has to be said that Luo Qixi was immediately tempted! That's a full two Asura gold coins! Even if the teacher is willing to give her one Asura silver coin a day now... she would only have three Asura gold coins a month.

And Lord Philip was actually willing to give him four!

*Gulp...* Luo Qixi could hear herself swallowing.

Seeing that Loki was interested, Philip smiled gently: "You can think about this more carefully."

He then changed the subject: "What did you think of the banquet?"

"what……"

Lord Philip really knows how fast he can switch topics...

Luo Qixi thought for a moment, then poked her hand hesitantly: "I feel... it's not really suitable for me..."

"Yes," Philip nodded knowingly, "After all, everyone can tell at a glance that Miss Migludia is a demon... and they can also tell at a glance that you don't like it here."

"..." Upon hearing the words "demon race," Luo Qixi lowered her head in disappointment. After all, demons were not very popular among humans.

Especially in the Kingdom of Asura.

During the war between humans and demons, the Kingdom of Asura was always a mainstay of the human side, which also meant that it was one of the countries that suffered the greatest losses... It was difficult for them to have any goodwill towards the demons.

Seeing her looking a little down, Philip shrugged and said, "But sometimes it's good this way."

"It can avoid unnecessary socializing," he said, downing his wine in one gulp, then gesturing to the people standing around the throne.

really?

Loki thought that Lord Philip seemed to be very good at socializing, after all, he could talk so much with someone like her who wasn't good at talking.

Meeting Loki's gaze, Philip smiled slightly: "That's really true."

"The social scene among nobles is like a spider web." He casually raised his wine glass to a young man standing far away, then said to Loki, "That is Lord Pilemon."

"The patriarch of the House of Notos Grellat... He had always been a supporter of the First Prince, but because of Lord Darius, he was frustrated and unsuccessful."

Ok?

The string of names made Luo Qixi feel dizzy.

Seeing this, Philip did not explain, but instead raised his glass to another person and casually said, "That is Lord Frey, the head of the Oros Grellat family."

"He initially supported the first prince, but as Darius's power grew too great... he began to support the second prince."

"Ah..." Luo Qixi didn't know what to say; the names of these nobles were all harder to remember than the last.

"And this is... my father." Philip said with a slight smile. This time, he didn't raise his glass, but simply raised an eyebrow.

"He is the head of the Boreas Grerat family, and he supports the First Prince," Philip said, shrugging. "But he doesn't get along with Lord Pilemon of the Notos family."

"Even though they all support the First Prince...who knows?"

During the conversation, Philip casually mentioned the stance of these Asura nobles, which made Lokishi roughly understand his meaning.

Nobility and all that is really troublesome...

"So, is it really that troublesome?" Philip laughed as he spoke, shaking his head. "Maybe I shouldn't be talking to you about this..."

"Has this shattered some of your illusions?"

"Ugh..." Luo Qixi did have a little fantasy before, wanting to become a royal court magician or something, but now it seems really complicated.

"But don't worry," Philip said, shrugging. "You can learn from your teacher."

"Be a little bit indifferent."

"After all, because of your teacher... countless nobles from various countries must be hoping to win you over." Philip smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow meaningfully.

"Because of the teacher... Come to think of it, the teacher's water magic is already at the Emperor level... and his blood magic is even more powerful." Luo Qixi shook her head helplessly at this thought.

"But rest assured... I value you as a person," Philip said softly. "To be valued by Lady Sylvania, you must be exceptionally talented, right?"

Ah... he probably doesn't know that the teacher only took a liking to him because his blood tasted good...

"Philip!" A rough voice rang out, causing Philip to raise an eyebrow in exasperation.

"It's my father." He shrugged. "It's about time he met Her Highness the Princess." He then looked at Loki, "Would you like to come with us?"

"Anyway, your teacher isn't here right now."
