Chapter 47 - Perhaps

Vinal, she is the third princess of the Kutu Kingdom and also the youngest daughter of the current King of Kutu. It is said that for some reasons, Princess Vinal usually doesn't go out often but stays in the court all year round to accompany her father, the current King of Kutu. She and Princess Oliman, the eldest princess of the Kutu Kingdom, are sisters by the same father and mother, and the two have a very close relationship. Thinking of this, Chen Heng fell into deep thought. From this perspective, Oliman's special invitation for him to attend the banquet this time might have been a test, with the intention of letting him have a try with Vinal. "What are you thinking about?" In front of him, looking at Chen Heng, Vinal was a bit puzzled. "Nothing." Chen Heng came back to his senses, looked at Vinal, and put on a smile again on his face. They sat there properly and continued chatting. During that time, there were also other noblewomen who came forward, hoping to invite Chen Heng to participate in activities and dance with them, but all of them were politely declined by Chen Heng. They were chatting here, and it seemed that they were having a very pleasant conversation. Oliman was dancing at the banquet. While she was busy with people from all sides, she also noticed this scene. On the surface, she didn't say much and didn't send anyone to interfere, just letting them be. Chen Heng's previous performance, as she had been watching secretly before, naturally caught her eye. In any aspect, he was an absolute genius. At his age, he had already reached such a level. He was just one step away from awakening the life seed and becoming a knight. An ordinary knight was naturally not quite a match for a princess of the royal family, but Chen Heng himself wasn't from a commoner family either. He came from a southern lord's family, and he was also a student of Coribo. To some extent, he could influence the decisions of Coribo, the kingdom's knight, which made up for the deficiency in his status and made him an ideal candidate. In Oliman's mind, if this Knight Kailin in front of her didn't have many problems himself, he would be a very suitable match for Vinal. At least, there wouldn't be so many troubles. Of course, it was still too early now, and there was no need to make a decision so quickly. Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the originally lively atmosphere around gradually dissipated, and the surging crowds around also gradually disappeared. It seemed that everyone was about to leave. "It seems that this banquet will end soon." Chen Heng looked around and then turned around, looking at Vinal in front of him and smiling: "It's getting late. I should probably leave now." "The time of our meeting has passed. I hope we can meet again in the future." He looked at Vinal and said with a smile. "Will you come to see me, right?" Looking at Chen Heng, Vinal seemed a bit reluctant. At this time, she bit her lip and said softly. Chen Heng was stunned for a moment and then couldn't help smiling: "Of course." "I had a great time with you. If possible, I hope we can meet again in the future, just like tonight." He smiled, and his smile was very bright: "Before that, I'll look forward to our next meeting." "Mr. Kailin..." Hearing Chen Heng's words, Vinal was stunned for a moment and couldn't help lowering her head, her face blushing. Although it sounded ordinary, Chen Heng's words at this moment seemed to her like a confession in another form, just like a beautiful poem from a bard's mouth, which was really touching. "I'm also looking forward to our next meeting with you." Looking at Chen Heng's face, she couldn't help mustering up her courage and said shyly. "Well, I hope that day won't be too late." Chen Heng smiled, then bowed and saluted very gentlemanly: "It's getting late. I'll leave first." "Wish you a good dream." ... "Are you okay?" Outside the manor, Carey saw Chen Heng off all the way. Looking at Chen Heng's appearance, he couldn't help asking. "Nothing." Chen Heng smiled: "Although Mr. Maidel has a straightforward temper, fortunately, he didn't really hit hard." "Otherwise, I would probably be lying down now and couldn't chat with you." "Isn't that called hitting hard?" Hearing Chen Heng's words, Carey complained in his heart. The scene of the fight between Chen Heng and Maidel just now was still lingering in his mind. In such a terrifying fight, if someone else had gone up, they would probably have been cut into two pieces in an instant, with no chance of survival at all. However, recalling the fight just now, he also remembered something. Looking at Chen Heng beside him, he couldn't help saying: "Kailin, are you... almost there?" "That step?" Chen Heng was stunned for a moment and then realized what he meant. To Carey, he didn't hide it and smiled gently: "Yes." "Mr. Coribo said that I've already reached the standard for awakening the life seed and can already try to awaken the life seed..." As the words fell, Carey couldn't help taking a deep breath. "Really..." He was a bit shocked in his heart and didn't know what to say at this time. A knight, the meaning it represented was not that simple. In these days, there was chaos everywhere. Besides wealth and status, the number of knights in a family was also a measure of whether a family was powerful or not. Only when there was a real knight in the family could it be regarded as a real noble family. This was the standard in the noble circle. As for those nobles without knights, they had no guarantee at all. Maybe at some time, they would disappear somewhere, being killed by thieves who popped up from nowhere. If Chen Heng could really awaken the life seed and become a knight, it would mean that his family behind him would be able to make a leap-forward progress. Moreover, considering his age and the time he had been in contact with the knight's breathing method, it was not impossible for him to make further progress in the future. If he could become a great knight... Just thinking of this idea, Carey couldn't help trembling. A great knight, this had already surpassed the ordinary limit. Ordinary knights were powerful, but compared with those truly top-notch nobles, they were inferior in status after all. But a great knight was far superior. Chen Heng's teacher, Coribo, was a great knight. And as far as Carey knew, in the whole Kutu Kingdom, in terms of status, Coribo was only second to the King of Kutu. As for others, he didn't take them seriously at all. It was said that in the past, Coribo had once created the feat of killing a thousand people overnight and slaughtering an entire earl's family. This incident was still talked about by many nobles, and no one dared to forget it. If Chen Heng also became a great knight... As long as Carey thought of this possibility, he couldn't help trembling all over. If it could really be like this, then his investment in Chen Heng would undoubtedly be a huge profit. Even his father and those people in the family would pay more attention to him.
