Chapter 257

After drinking a little wine, Irene seemed to be much bolder. She raised her head slightly and looked at the handsome face in front of her. Somehow, she tightened her arms around the young man and moved closer to his lips.

Locke seemed to be aware of that and his body stiffened for a while. For the first time, he didn’t dodge.

A gentle kiss was left on his lips.

All of a sudden, Locke felt that his mind was lost as if his soul had been sucked away by the warmth. He was in a trance.

Boom!

During this time of distraction, the small universe in Locke’s body vibrated, and the two people in the sky also trembled.

At the same time, Irene, like a panicked deer, was scared into Locke’s arms.

Locke also woke up in an instant. Regardless of the fleeting warmth, he quickly controlled the chaotic divine power in his body.

…

A few minutes later, they finally landed in Irene’s yard in the count’s mansion.

What made Locke speechless was that there was no maid in the yard.

Locke had no choice but to carry Irene in his arms. He opened the door and walked into the room. After covering Irene with a quilt, he closed the door and turned back to his room.

After Locke left, there was a rustling noise in Irene’s yard.

In the room, Locke smiled helplessly. With a powerful divine power, he had already found the people hiding around Irene’s yard. That was why he dared to leave Irene alone.

“Good, very good.”

Outside Irene’s yard, looking at the maid who had already entered the yard to take care of Irene, Count Peter couldn’t help nodding. “Wearing Joseph’s coat. Locke is like me back then.”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp gaze.

Feeling his wife’s unfriendly gaze, Count Peter smiled awkwardly and scolded, “But this boy is too unromantic.”

“It seems that Irene still has a long way to go to win this boy’s heart,”

Mrs. Peter thought for a while and said slowly.

Two days passed quickly.

Count Peter often sent people to invite Locke to have dinner together. At the same time, he created opportunities for Irene to stay alone with Locke from time to time.

On the third day, the people of the Imperial Mage Academy arrived in the city.

In the hall.

The Peter family naturally treated the guests of the Imperial Mage Academy with great hospitality. Count Peter and his wife, as well as the main figures of the Peter family, Perls, and others were all here.

On the other side, the leader was a middle-aged man in a black robe, and beside him was a relatively handsome young man.

Looking at Irene behind the Peter couple, the young man’s eyes were full of passion. He was Doyle Alves, a member of the Alves family that Perls and others broke their heads and wanted to unite by marriage.

“Mr. Gergiel, welcome to the Peter family.”

Count Peter said with a smile.

Gergiel nodded without much enthusiasm and said slowly, “Mr. Peter must be very clear about my intention to come to the Peter family.”

Count Peter smiled, “Mr. Gergiel, please be so kind as to take good care of Irene on the next journey.”

“In fact, in addition to my daughter, I hope to add one more person to the team. He is my nephew, and he wants to go to the imperial capital city this time.”

Facing Gergiel’s cold attitude, Count Peter didn’t get angry. Imperial Mage Academy was the most powerful mage academy in the whole kingdom. Those who can become teachers of this academy are naturally arrogant.

Gergiel didn’t refuse. After thinking for a while, he said, “Mr. Peter, in addition to picking up Miss Peter, I have a more important purpose to come here this time.”

“Doyle.” With a smile on his face, he looked at the young man behind him and shouted.

“Uncle Peter.” Doyle answered and bowed to Count Peter and others

“You must be familiar with him,” The middle-aged man smiled faintly. “My teacher, the great level-8 grand mage Mr. Godfrey, has accepted Doyle as a student.”

“Master Godfrey!”

Count Peter on the main seat had a twitch in his chest. Anthony Godfrey, a long-standing level-8 grand mage in the kingdom. It was said that he stopped accepting students ten years ago, but unexpectedly he made an exception to accept Doyle.

Count Peter’s heart sank.

With a faint smile on his face, Gergiel continued, “Mr. Godfrey loves Doyle very much. He knew that Doyle had an apathy to food because of Miss Peter, so he asked me to bring Doyle here. Mr. Peter, for the sake of Mr. Godfrey, please agree to the engagement.”

As expected, then Count Peter’s face changed slightly when he heard that the middle-aged man was going to make an engagement for Doyle and Irene.

Godfrey was the most powerful level-8 grand mage in the imperial capital city. Facing such a master, the existence of the Peter family was like an ant.

But he knew what kind of person Doyle was. Many innocent girls were harmed by him because of his identity. If he asked Irene to get engaged to him, it would push his daughter into the fire.

On the other side, Irene, who was next to Mrs. Peter, also looked pale and at a loss.

Mrs. Peter held Irene’s hand and gave her a comforting look.

After taking a deep breath, Count Peter seemed to have made up his mind.

“Master Alves has outstanding talent, and now under the guidance of Mr. Godfrey, his future is limitless, and he will definitely achieve a great cause.”

Looking at Doyle, Count Peter said slowly. After saying that, a tinge of regret suddenly appeared on his face. “But it’s a pity. Irene told us a few days ago that she already found love. I believe that with the condition of Master Doyle, he will definitely find a more suitable partner.”

Gergiel’s face darkened. He had thought that Count Peter would agree after he mentioned Mr. Godfrey.

He didn’t expect that he still refused him!

Did these people really think that they could disobey Master Godfrey!

“Sir Count, it’s not a small matter after all. I think we’d better sit down and discuss it before making a decision.” Noticing that Gergiel’s face turned cold, Perls reminded. He said euphemistically and did not directly refute Count Peter’s words. After all, Count Peter was the person who spoke in public in the Peter family.

“Yes, Sir Count. We can sit down and discuss this matter.” The two old men echoed.

“Irene’s marriage should be decided by herself!”

“Sir Cunt, the overall situation is the most important!”

…

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat depressing. However, Gergiel was sitting there leisurely. He believed that the Peter family would definitely agree.

When Count Peter and the elders were arguing, Locke was on his way to the hall.

Today, the whole count mansion was very quiet. He knew that because the people of the Imperial Mage Academy would come to visit, so Count Peter ordered the guards and maids to perform their duties, and didn’t walk around in the yard casually to avoid offending the important guests.

When he was walking, Locke suddenly stopped and sensed an extremely obscure aura.

At the same time, a hot breath rushed toward Locke.

Locke’s body whirled quickly, and the small universe began to operate to form a magic shield in front of him.

Boom!

The scorching airwaves, centered on Locke, spread around quickly.
