Chapter 969 -298 Again, It’s Not Like I’ve Never Seen It Before_4
Across the table, the light of the candles flickered slightly, casting an exquisitely beautiful face.
Dressed in her finest, Catherine Carter elegantly used her knife to cut a piece of food and placed it in her mouth, chewing slowly and deliberately.
“You really helped me out this time, I don’t even know how to thank you…”
“…”
Leonard Churchill laughed it off, unfazed.
The two had been through life and death together; they were not the kind of friends who needed to be polite with each other.
Catherine spoke in a calm voice, “That battle at Gold-digging Dock. I almost truly died.”
Leonard glanced at her, “…”
Catherine remained calm, but recalling the event, she said, “Right, do you remember when we last met, you offered to buy me a drink?”
Leonard said, “I remember.”
Suddenly, Catherine raised her glass and smiled, “Shall we have a drink then?”
As she spoke, she sighed, “Who knows if we will have the chance to drink together like this again.”
War is always cruel.
Especially a war with such disparity in strength.
No one can guarantee they will survive until the end.
Hearing this, a trace of a different look flashed through Leonard’s eyes, which he then quickly concealed, and raised his glass, “Cheers.”
The pleasing music continued to play in the background.
After a few drinks, the atmosphere was like that of old friends, lightly inebriated.
Then, Catherine suddenly felt an urge and suggested, “How about, you dance with me?”
Leonard looked at her and laughed, “Why the sudden interest?”
Catherine seemed to remember something and teased with a laugh, “Do you still remember the times you asked me to dance before? You always had ulterior motives, like at Rose Manor, the Miller Family… It was all for gathering information. Back then, I said, ‘Can’t you have a pure motive, just once, and ask me to dance?'”
With that, Leonard remembered.
Indeed, he had previously asked Catherine to dance at Rose Manor as an undercover member of the Silver Moon Sect, with a hidden agenda.
The other occasions were similar.
Considering she was in the mood, Leonard stood up and bowed politely, inviting her, “Would I have the honor to ask the beautiful Miss Carter for a dance?”
Catherine’s neck gracefully arched like a swan’s, as she extended her delicate hand and accepted gladly, “Of course. It’s my honor as well~”
In the room, it was just the two of them.
They danced with light steps, swaying to the rhythm.
Leonard found this state very relaxing.
Dancing and talking.
“By the way, what’s been happening on your end lately?”
“Over on the East Continent, the Federal Parliament has all but collapsed, and the Orlan Royal Family has been restored. It is said that the New King Arthur of Orlan has successfully entered the seventh tier, sweeping through the Parliament’s major families with his four Knights. The White Family has also become the High Priest…”
“Oh?”
“The good news is that after this restoration, the Orlan Royal Family has finally recognized the crisis and publicly disclosed the royal secrets that had been sealed for three thousand years. Anyone who pledges loyalty to the royal family can receive Super Tier card master heritage. However, the high-tier resources in the East Wilderness are far too scarce, and even with that heritage, it’s difficult to make a breakthrough…”
“That New King of Orlan has big ambitions, and he has no intention of settling in the East Wilderness. I estimate that once he consolidates various forces in the Federation, he will certainly try to make his way to the Old Continent. After all, I’ve already discovered spies and secret operatives that the Orlan Royal Family has planted in advance within the Alliance Army…”
“The Orlan Royal Family seems to be engaged in a secret operation; they are searching for some of the Augustus Royal Family’s heritage. My people have spotted some of their relic-hunting teams deep within the Relics…”
“…”
Leonard was not at all surprised about the restoration of the Orlan Royal Court.
This was something Noah Wright had deduced quite some time ago.
Facing a formidable enemy, the major families of the Federation lacked the power to respond, thus a leader was necessary.
The strength of the Orlan Royal Court was unrivaled in the East Wilderness, and its restoration was inevitable.
Moreover, the Royal Family of Augustus were descendants of the Taron Royal Family from three thousand years ago and possessed knowledge of the secrets of the Old Continent that others couldn’t even imagine. It was certain that they wouldn’t just be trapped and perish in the East Wilderness.
Some methods were naturally to be expected.
Listening to the news from the East Continent during this period, Leonard Churchill felt not the slightest bit surprised. Instead, he found the complex situation becoming more and more lively.
The dance music was light and lively, just like the soft and beautiful atmosphere in the room.
Leonard Churchill gracefully encircled Catherine Carter’s tender waist, their bodies pressed close, and he could clearly sense her robust heartbeat.
Catherine Carter was half a head shorter than Leonard Churchill, which put her charming face right before his eyes.

Suddenly, Leonard Churchill noticed something, “Eh, your ‘Air’ is quite special.”
Catherine Carter wore a proud and coy expression reserved only for friends, as if to say, You’re just noticing now?
She said with a smile, “Senior Shepherd taught me.”
Leonard Churchill, surprised, exclaimed, “Ah?”
Catherine Carter seemed to have anticipated his reaction and explained, “After we met at the Gold-digging Dock last time, Senior Shepherd said I had good potential and gave me some pointers.”
“Oh.”
That’s when Leonard Churchill suddenly understood.
Although Catherine Carter was not on the hero’s path, she had already condensed her life pattern of hero fate.
It was normal for Senior Shepherd to take an interest in mentoring her.
Catherine Carter still had a light smile on her face, “The senior also said, once I’ve learned, I should beat you up.”
“…”
Leonard Churchill just rolled his eyes.
But upon closer observation, he could see that Catherine Carter had indeed changed considerably and her strength had visibly grown stronger.
However, it was through this downward glance that Leonard Churchill caught sight of a proud and lush expanse of white.
Because the distance was so near, every detail was crystal clear.
Smooth as jade.
Catherine Carter was wearing a low-cut golden court gown that day, with layers of lace and silk skirts as light and ethereal as clouds.
It was a dress that suited her temperament perfectly.
It fully showcased the youthful grace of her figure and that hint of charming, yet not vulgar, sensuality.
Usually, such a glance wouldn’t have mattered.
There was no need for modesty given their relationship.
He looked away, as if nothing had happened.
However, Catherine Carter caught Leonard Churchill’s gaze and a teasing smile flashed through her bright eyes as she prodded, “Oh, now you know to look away?”
At these words, Leonard Churchill looked at her once more.
Catherine Carter held her snow-white neck high, her eyes clear and sparkling. With an unconcerned tone, she spoke again, “It’s not like you haven’t seen before. If you want to look, just go ahead.”
“…”
At her consenting words, Leonard Churchill found himself at a loss for words for a moment.
On reflection, it seemed he really had seen it quite a few times.
Just then, as the rhythm of the dance music changed, they were embraced by a great softness.
Under the brilliant lights, Catherine Carter’s pretty face beamed with the victorious smile of a general.
She stepped lively to the beat of the dance music and spun around.
In that moment, she was elegant and exceedingly beautiful, nonchalantly graceful.
