Chapter 58: Alice's Coming of Age Ceremony

  "Old man, are you in? Open the door quickly." Lin Wu hastily came to the old man's newly built shop and knocked on the door, shouting.

  "Hey kid, what brings you here? Are you here to deliver the crystal?" The old man opened the door of his shop and said.

  "There's an emergency. The crystal won't be enough without you." Lin Wu said as he rushed into the old man's alchemy room without hesitation.

  "Oh, what's going on?" the old man asked curiously.

  Lin Wu roughly told the old man about what had happened in response to his doubts.

  "You've actually tamed the Purple Lightning Leopard!!" The old man stared at Lin Wu in shock, somewhat disbelieving.

  "Yes, the credit goes to this crystal block. It's still very useful for the beast's upgrade." Just as Lin Wu finished speaking, he saw the old man hastily preparing his things and getting ready to leave.

  "Help yourself to anything here, I'm going to go study the effect of this crystal on magical beasts right now." The old man didn't wait for Lin Wu's response and hastily left.

  "Ah..."

  Lin Wu opened his mouth, and he couldn't help but regret telling the old man about this. He still hoped that the old man would help him out; otherwise, how could he possibly make a necklace in just one day?

  Looking at the messy alchemy room, Lin Wu let out a helpless sigh.

  ……

  "Miss Alice, what do you think of this dress?" Lirius excitedly held up one beautiful outfit after another, today she was going to accompany Alice so she also had to wear a formal dress, which was still the first time for Lirius.

  And today is Alice's coming-of-age ceremony, where countless nobles from Violet Castle will attend, and the benefit-sharing competition will also begin. Alice's coming-of-age ceremony is a great opportunity for everyone to meet and get to know each other.

  "Lilith looks good in anything." Alice said lazily from her bed.

  "Hmm, I wonder what special gift Kobayashi will prepare for me?" Alice thought to herself with growing anticipation.

  "Knock knock knock."

  At this time Alice's room was lightly knocked on.

  "Big sister." Lirien opened the door to find Eriol walking in with a magnificent dress.

  "Alice, from today on you're a grown-up. Elina came to Alice's side, stroking her beautiful hair and sighed. "From now on, you can't be naughty anymore."

  "Come on, Alice, try it on." Before Alice could say anything, Irina handed her the dress.

  "Mm." Alice gazed at the beautiful dress and nodded happily.

  The entire Rose family entered the evening in a tense and joyful atmosphere, while nobles from all sides rushed to arrive, with luxurious carriages parked at the gate of the Rose family.

  But at this time, Lin Wu was staring intently at the object in front of him with a tense expression. Time was pressing, and Lin Wu knew that he absolutely could not fail this time.

  After adding the last material, Lin Wu let out a long sigh of relief, "Finally completed." He glanced at the sky and hurriedly took his things and walked out of the old man's shop.

  As for the old man, he went out yesterday and hasn't come back since, no one knows where he went to study.

  ……

  "Kira's Count!!"

  "Marquis Nus has arrived!!"

  "Viscount Steiner has arrived!!"

  ……

  A man in a tailcoat, Wen Bo, stood at the entrance, shouting out the noble titles of those arriving. As Wen Bo's voice rang out, one by one, nobles dressed in resplendent attire walked into the Rose family with smiles on their faces. At this moment, a luxurious carriage embroidered with a pattern of chrysanthemums hurried over.

  "Tulip King has arrived!!" Wen Bo exclaimed loudly at the sight of the tulip pattern.

  As soon as the voice fell, three people got off the carriage. Among them, a cold and handsome old man was naturally Tulip Grand Duke, and the two young men behind him were Posey and Posey's older brother Porter. These two are Tulip's future hopes, especially Porter, who has a strong talent and stepped into the Great Swordsman level at the age of 30, making him the first among the younger generation in the entire Violet Kingdom. He is also the hot favorite to win this profit-sharing competition. Moreover, this man is as brave and good at fighting as his father, with no small influence in the kingdom's army.

  Not long after the carriage of the Tulip family arrived, another carriage embroidered with wisteria flowers also came from afar, and everyone stood at the door to welcome it.

  "We have seen the Emperor of Lavender! We have seen Princess Nana!" The crowd rushed forward to pay their respects as they saw Lavender III and Princess Nana step out of the carriage.

  "No need for formalities, everyone, please don't stand on ceremony, come on in." Zi Jing San Shi said with a smile.

  With the arrival of Violet III, almost all the nobles in Violet City have arrived. After all, anyone who dares to come later than His Majesty the King is clearly being disrespectful to the king.

  "Thank you all for coming to attend Alice's coming-of-age ceremony." Elena said to the nobles from various places in the hall.

  Then, magnificently dressed Alice stepped out accompanied by Princess Lirien and Nana, for a moment everyone felt astonished, was this still that little witch who made people change color at the mere mention of her name?

  Alice also seemed to be quite unaccustomed to this situation, with a rare look of shyness, which made everyone even more incredulous. "It seems that the title of Little Witch Alice will finally have to go." The crowd sighed in unison.

  "So, I declare the banquet open..." Just as Elena was about to make the announcement, Alice hastily grabbed Elena's hand and said: "Sister, Xiao Lin hasn't arrived yet, let's wait a bit."

  Hearing Alice's words, Elena hesitated for a moment, "Okay, but don't wait too long."

  "Mm." Alice nodded vigorously.

  "Miss Irina, why hasn't the banquet started yet? Are you going to make His Majesty wait?" Upon hearing that Irina wanted to postpone the start of the banquet, several nobles below also spoke up.

  "Sorry, as there are still people who haven't arrived yet, so please everyone wait for a moment." Elena apologized.

  "Who else is it, daring to be later than Your Majesty? I heard it's one of the guards. Is Miss Eirina going to make the noble Emperor wait for a lowly commoner?" A voice suddenly rang out.

  "Posey, you little white face, don't dare call Lin a lowly commoner!!" Alice heard this voice and the shyness on her face instantly disappeared. The momentum of that little demon girl suddenly rose, and she actually dared to scold directly in front of everyone.

  Bosi's face turned white with anger at Alice's words, and a hint of malice flashed in his eyes. He then turned to the calm-looking Violet III and said: "Your Majesty, I think the Rose family is despising Your Majesty, daring to make Your Majesty wait for a plebeian, and Miss Alice even publicly insulted a nobleman, which really tarnishes the reputation of the Rose family."

  Upon hearing Posey's words, the people below couldn't help but start whispering among themselves.

  Hyacinth Grand Duke, seeing this faintly looking at Elena, he wanted to see what to do with this girl. Now that the Rose Grand Duke, his greatest enemy, is no longer there, as a senior, it's not good for him to take action, so Borsy became the best candidate to attack the Rose family.

  "Hmm, Irina making everyone wait for a guard is indeed improper, I think we should start first." Zi Jing San said at this time.

  "Elena looked at Alice and finally spoke up, "As Your Majesty said."

  "I won't!" Alice cried out and immediately ran angrily towards the outside of the hall.

  Just as Alice was running out of the hall, she was suddenly caught by a tall figure, "Alice, you're too reckless."

  Hearing this voice, Irina exclaimed excitedly: "Father, you're out of prison!"
