Listening to Carlotta's explanation, Doris suddenly felt clarity about the difficulties she had encountered in the Elven Knight Path.
She wasn't majoring in Elven Knight Path, but she had a keen interest in this highly aesthetics knight path. Being able to solve the problems she encountered made her quite happy.
"Thank you, Miss White," Doris sincerely expressed her gratitude.
After thanking her, Doris once again invited Carlotta to join her for dinner.
For nobles, having lunch or dinner together is a way to strengthen their relationships. Doris felt that Carlotta might be of great help to her in the future, so she naturally didn't mind fostering a closer relationship.
Doris was the type of person who excelled at building social connections. Anyone who had interacted with her would describe her as amiable and gentle.
"This..."
Carlotta hadn't expected Doris to be so persistent about this. Under normal circumstances, if a noble lady invited her twice, it would be impolite to refuse again.
But now, leaving the academy might not be safe for her.
Carlotta sighed inwardly and was about to decline when she suddenly had a thought and instead asked, "Miss O'Connor, where do you plan to have dinner?"
"Of course, at my home," Doris replied with a smile.
Carlotta nodded to herself. Dining at a viscount's residence would naturally ensure safety.
She asked a few more questions and gradually felt reassured.
If they were going to the O'Connor family, they would travel together by carriage, accompanied by the O'Connor family's guards.
After dinner, Doris would return to the academy, and they would travel back together with the guards still in tow.
In other words, the entire journey would be safe.
Carlotta felt that even if she agreed to go, it wouldn't be a problem. Would Bram and his gang dare to make a move under such circumstances?
In fact, she almost hoped that Bram and his gang would make a move so that she could use Doris's guards to eliminate those troublesome individuals.
Thinking this, Carlotta also smiled. "Thank you for your invitation, Miss O'Connor. It would be unkind of me to refuse again. I hope tonight will leave us with wonderful memories."
Doris also smiled. "The cuisine of the O'Connor family has never disappointed."
After agreeing on a time, Doris left the dormitory.
Carlotta rested for a while and then headed to the classroom for her afternoon classes, which were quite numerous.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the academy to end.
Carlotta waited downstairs at the classroom building for a short while before Doris appeared.
"Miss White, let's go," Doris said with a smile.
Carlotta nodded and walked alongside Doris, casually chatting about various things in the capital.
Doris was extremely skilled in social interactions, and Carlotta wasn't particularly reserved either, so there was no shortage of topics between them.
When they arrived at the academy gate, Carlotta looked up and saw a luxurious four-wheeled carriage over five meters long, pulled by two majestic white horses.
The carriage was white with intricate patterns and bore the dragon crest emblem of the O'Connor family.
Around the carriage stood several tall, armored guards. When they saw Doris, the guards immediately stepped forward and silently took their positions beside her.
Doris felt very secure, and naturally, so did Carlotta.
At this moment, she genuinely hoped that Bram and his gang would make a move so that one of her headaches could be resolved.
After the two entered the spacious carriage, it began to move at a leisurely pace.
Inside the carriage, there was a tea table with freshly prepared fruits.
Doris sat by the tea table and asked, "Miss White, why do you have such a deep understanding of the Elven Knight Path?"
This was a question that everyone who had attended the Elf Knight Gathering would naturally have.
After all, Carlotta was only a second-tier apprentice, though now she was third-tier, but most people didn't know that yet.
Carlotta smiled. "I have to thank Miss Fenwick for that."
"Amelia?" Doris asked in surprise.
As the daughter of a viscount, she was quite familiar with Amelia. Their families belonged to the same political circle, so although they didn't interact much, they knew each other to some extent.
Carlotta smiled. "Because I inadvertently helped Miss Fenwick, she gave me a book on the Elven Knight Path. It was through this book that I learned the Elven Knight Path and gained my current understanding."
Doris's eyes showed a hint of surprise. "Self-taught?"
Doris couldn't help but marvel at Carlotta's talent. To achieve such a profound understanding of Elven Knight Path through self-study, without guidance from a master, was nothing short of extraordinary.
But alas...
Doris also knew that Carlotta had already chosen card magic as her major, having taken a wrong path from the start. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
If this remarkably talented girl hadn't taken the wrong path, how glorious her future achievements could have been, it was almost unimaginable. What a pity.
But perhaps taking the wrong path was actually a good thing?
As someone skilled in social interactions, Doris had met all sorts of people and was more mature than her peers.
She vaguely felt that someone without a background who stood out too much might end up facing many situations beyond their control.
The Wendell Empire wasn't exactly a country with strict laws.
Doris had started to think a bit too far ahead but felt it unnecessary and quickly pulled her thoughts back.
She then began discussing the more advanced aspects of Elven Knight Path with Carlotta, who naturally shared everything she knew with great enthusiasm.
Before they knew it, the carriage arrived at the O'Connor family estate.
When a maid lifted the carriage curtain and informed them that they had arrived, the two finally stopped their conversation.
"Let's go," Doris said as she stepped out of the carriage.
After getting off the carriage, Carlotta looked around but didn't see any sign of Bram and his gang. She couldn't help but inwardly scoff.
Of course, those guys wouldn't dare to make a move. It was only natural, with so many guards around the carriage, how could Bram and his gang possibly have the guts to act?
Shaking her head slightly, Carlotta followed Doris into the estate and was taken directly to the courtyard where Doris lived.
They continued discussing various aspects of Elven Knight Path.
As for dinner, it would naturally be prepared. Doris had said it would be a dinner that wouldn't disappoint.
