Chapter 68

“Seta. The way you speak is not humane here, just because you saw a beautiful lady, you can’t disappear again.”

What the elderly were most worried about were Seta’s mannerisms.

He was very fond of beautiful faces! Ladies with remarkable looks.

Nevertheless, Seta showed up at the empire to perceive such faces.

“I’m here only because I heard that there will be many outstanding faces among the imperial aristocracy!”

“I knew it!” The old man shivered.

“Please don’t have my neck sliced for that.”

There were two kinds of people Seta helped with his abilities.

First, the beautiful kind. He looked at a person’s face as if looking at a treasure. Or someone beneficial to Seta like the old man. That did not mean he wanted money.

Sigh, he’s such a peculiar one.’

It was also strange that such an outstanding fortune teller appeared before the event began. Unable to speak formally. Entirely covered in a long robe.

Seta smiled under his hood, “I hope they have a pretty face in the Empire!”

If he gets blessed with the sight of an extremely outstanding face, he can even give away his liver, gallbladder, and bones in return!

***
People of various nationalities gathered in the castle of the capital city.

It was a day before the 10-day exchange event.

The night before, it was customary to gather and greet the guests indiscreetly.

Though it was an informal banquet, quite a few people had already gathered.

The guests of the exchange event and the nobles invited to a separate party were all gathered in one place.

“Piano tsu! But jipedu bu boa!”

“This part doesn’t seem to have changed over the past year! A glass of boa!”

Most of the foreigners knew how to speak imperial, but they could also talk in their regional language.

Ian and Laritte were also present here.

It was because Ian wanted to meet the fortune teller a day earlier.

Regardless of their status and origin, everyone was eager to talk to the Duchess.

Ian asked everybody who approached him, “has the fortune teller arrived from Mirnoa?”

A noble from the kingdom of Mirnoa chirped, “I saw him go out to the balcony earlier!”
