Chapter 1066: Chapter 597 Let There Be Light Chapter 1066: Chapter 597 Let There Be Light “Logan, the Princess is planning to attend a poetry meeting at a social gathering this afternoon, which I guess has already started. We rarely meet, and it seems you have nothing else to do. Why not join me and see how it is?”

The Princess coughed gently a few times, pretending the invitation was casual, but it seemed slightly obvious.

Logan pondered for a moment, detecting a hint of eagerness in the Princess’s tone. After some hesitation, he eventually chose not to refuse her.

“Alright, then I shall respectfully comply,” he said.

The Princess, not having been snubbed, appeared very pleased, the corners of her mouth curling slightly.

“Hmm, you don’t have invitations, so just follow behind me,” she said.

Logan had no objections to this, and the other two naturally felt the same.

At that moment, Sheron Perri quietly moved closer to Logan with a gossipy expression.

“Captain, I really didn’t expect that we would encounter a ball-throwing matchmaking event, and now we get to attend a high-society poetry meeting. Today really is an eye-opener. I’m quite curious about what a nobles’ poetry meeting looks like inside,” he said.

Logan just chuckled lightly and unhesitatingly doused his enthusiasm.

“Today should be considered an unlucky day, actually. We encountered that matchmaking ball, and it ended up involving me, with the Princess, who had previous ambiguous ties with me, coming to my aid. And now we are invited to a poetry meeting. I have a foreboding feeling; I don’t think this poetry meeting will go smoothly, Sheron. Don’t be overly optimistic. Better to keep your expectations low,” he said.

Sheron, initially pleased with himself for attending the poetry meeting, had his enthusiasm dampened abruptly.

“Ah? Captain, not to be disrespectful, but you really are dampening the mood. However, you are right. We do not know how the poetry meeting will turn out, so we should be cautious,” he responded.

Hearing Logan’s words made Sheron carefully consider the matter further.

This trip was not very pleasant, rather it was full of troubles.

The outcome of this poetry meeting might not be favorable, so they would have to be vigilant.

As they whispered among themselves, they quickly reached the venue.

When mentioning the poetry meeting, the Princess also appeared quite proud.

“This poetry meeting has been held for a long time, and only those with specific invitations can attend. You can only get in if you follow someone with an invitation,” she boasted. “Outside there are countless people who want to come in and widen their horizons. You should cherish this opportunity. Besides appreciating poetry, there will also be a viewing of various treasures, something seldom seen on ordinary days,” she added.

Clearly, this was also an attempt by the nobles to elevate their own status.

When talking about this, the Princess was haughty.

Sheron, hearing this, had a flash of expectation and curiosity in his eyes; eager to see what unique items were held in such high esteem by the nobility.

However, Logan’s face did not reflect what the Princess expected.

There was no envy, no curiosity, no anticipation.

Just calmness, an acceptance of whatever the unknown may bring.

The Princess slowly clenched her fists, a hint of reluctance quietly rising in her heart.

It was always like this, every time. It seemed nothing could shake Logan, nor stir his emotions.

This time she was determined to make the poetry meeting an eye-opener for him. The Princess resolved that she would even bring out her signature items to move him.

In that moment, the Princess was filled with a fierce determination.

However, Logan appeared indifferent, seemingly uninterested in these matters.

Indeed, he was not interested. Compared to a poetry meeting, he cared more about cultivation.

His presence there was merely to repay a favor to the Princess.

It would seem rather ungrateful if he didn’t show up right after the Princess had helped him out.

The Princess walked at the front, and many recognized her, promptly paying their respects.

“Greetings, Princess, may you live thousands and thousands of years!”

“The Princess has arrived; we have been waiting for you for a long time,” the maidens said.

“Princess, it’s been some days since we last saw you, your presence truly glorifies this event,” they added.

“Princess, we are eager to see what pieces of poetry you’ve brought today to enlighten us. Only your discerning eye could impress us so,” they continued.

Everyone was flattering the Princess, exalting her, when their gazes fell upon Logan.

“Oh? Princess, who are these two gentlemen you’ve brought? You usually don’t bring outsiders. Could it be that they are also connoisseurs of poetry?” they asked.

Some, with a competitive spirit aimed at showing off in front of the Princess, scoffed loudly, pointing at Logan.

“Since it’s rare to see the Princess bring guests, how about I challenge this gentleman to a contest? Let’s see what kind of level the Princess’s guests are at?” he boldly declared.

Logan: …

It felt like he was caught in a strange battlefield, but he couldn’t exactly describe it.

And when that person pointed at Logan, the Princess’s face darkened.

“He is not an outsider, not just someone I brought along; he is my friend. I brought him here today specifically to open his eyes,” she stated.

The mention of the word “friend” clearly indicated Logan’s importance to the Princess.

At this, everyone’s expressions changed; no one dared to make jokes about Logan anymore.

“So he is the Princess’s friend, indeed a fine and talented gentleman,” they praised.

“Since the Princess has rarely brought friends, we must certainly treat him well,” they concurred.

The one who had challenged earlier now suddenly knelt on the ground, making a thumping sound.

“Princess, I am guilty, I was blind,” he conceded.
