"I see... By the way, Lord Sebastian, our new school term ball is in a couple of days, and we hope that you and Her Majesty the Queen can attend."
"Yes, I will definitely come with Her Majesty the Queen!" Lu Yi said with a smile, and then left under everyone's respectful gaze.
"I'm back." After returning to the palace, Lu Yi walked into Anliaita's study and looked at her, who was still there reviewing documents.
"Sebastian, you're back! Where have you been these past few days?" Henrietta put down her work and looked up at Lu Yi when she heard his voice.
"Oh, it's too boring staying in the palace, so I went out for a walk!"
"Sigh... You really are... Never mind, the new school term ball at the magic school is in a couple of days, and I hope you can come with me."
"Of course, I'm your familiar and boyfriend, so of course I'll follow you wherever you go," Lu Yi said matter-of-factly.
So, two days later...
"Sebastian, hurry up, we're about to leave!" Henrietta urged Lu Yi, who was still walking slowly.
"Okay, okay, the ball doesn't start until tonight, no need to rush." Lu Yi said as he walked, then got into the carriage, closed the door, and the carriage began to head towards the magic academy.
"Can't you be serious for once? This kind of ball only happens once a year. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to have some fun. Of course, you have to spend a lot of time with me."
"Yes, yes..."
Inside the Tristine Magic Academy, Dean Osman stood on the stage giving a speech: "Good evening, everyone. Today is the annual new semester ball. Here, everyone is equal, regardless of their family background or status. Also, Her Majesty Queen Henrietta is here today, and she has dressed up according to the theme of this ball. It will be interesting to see who can find Her Majesty. Listen carefully, you must all strive harder to become the people you aspire to be. Now, go and enjoy the ball to the fullest!"
"Holy crap, it really is just like the plot, Henrietta has turned into Louise." Lu Yi thought to himself as he looked at Henrietta standing next to him, now resembling Louise.
"Hey, Henrietta, why did you turn into Louise's likeness? This looks weird." Lu Yi said, looking at Henrietta speechlessly.
"Why isn't Sebastian dressed up?" Henrietta didn't answer Lu Yi's question, but asked in confusion.
"You're one to talk! Look at what's going on inside!" Lu Yi rolled his eyes at Anliaita, then pointed helplessly at the hall.
Almost everyone in the hall had transformed into Lu Yi's likeness. Fine, I wouldn't mind the transformation, but what kind of behavior was this? They looked like complete idiots! My brilliant image was about to be ruined by these idiots! Seeing this, Lu Yi wanted to beat those idiots to a pulp, one by one.
"Louise!" Just then, Saito suddenly ran over and called out.
“Talented Lady? Why aren’t you with your master?” Lu Yi asked, looking at the talented lady who was walking over.
"What are you talking about, Sebastian? Louise is right beside you! You said I had to find him, but here he is!"
"Hey, Saito, are you out of your mind, or are you mentally challenged? The purpose of this masquerade ball is to use magic to turn one person into another. The person next to me is Her Majesty Queen Henrietta, but he actually admires Louise. That's something I never expected!"
"Huh??? Where did Louise go?"
"Uh... You're really slow on the uptake. Just think about who Louise admires the most and who she wants to become, then go and find out, right?" Lu Yi could only remind him when he saw Cai Ren's stupid expression.
"Oh no, the Mirror of Truth has shattered!" A voice rang out, and at the same time, Henrietta returned to her original form.
"Talented One!" Louise walked over and said to Talented One.
"Louise!" Saito saw Louise and ran over to her, hugging her tightly in his arms.
"Not good!" As soon as Lu Yi finished speaking, he saw countless ice spikes rushing towards him. With a wave of his hand, a protective shield made entirely of energy appeared in front of him, blocking all the attacks.
"Protect Her Majesty the Queen!" Lu Yi said to Cai Ren and Louise, and before they could react, he chased after her.
"Whoosh." A sound of something cutting through the air came from the air.
"Hmph..." When Lu Yi broke through all the magic again, he saw who had attacked him and said in surprise, "Tabasa? It's you? Why are you stopping me?"
"Command!" With that, another barrage of magical attacks rained down on Lu Yi.
"Damn it, this is a diversionary tactic!" After Lu Yi blocked all the magic again, he felt a familiar power coming from Henrietta. It seemed that Tabassa was only trying to stop him, while the other person's target was Henrietta. Lu Yi looked at Tabassa angrily.
"Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" Thinking this, Lu Yi looked at Tabasa, who was still blocking his way, and said in an icy tone.
“The command is absolute!” Tabasa said, raising his staff again and pointing it at Lu Yi.
"What are you grinding into?" At that moment, Sheffield appeared in front of Lu Yi standing on a flying fish, with Louise standing beside him. Saito also ran out of the academy. It seemed that he was not coming for Henrietta. Thinking of this, Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Give Louise back to me." Upon seeing Louise standing on the flying fish, Saito drew his sword and charged towards Sheffield.
However, it was stopped by the magic of Tabassa standing in front of him.
"Tabasa? How could it be you? Get out of the way! If you don't, I'll have to defeat you to save Louise!" Saito said immediately when he saw that it was Tabasa blocking his way.
“How could she possibly dodge? She’s the ‘Northern Flower Guard Knight,’ our loyal watchdog!” Sheffield said with a sneer.
"Hey, you there... are you ignoring me?" Lu Yi said to Sheffield, clearly annoyed.
"I didn't expect to see you here. You're such a persistent ghost!"
"Thank you for the compliment. You got away last time, but this time you'll stay here!" Lu Yi said as he rushed forward.
"Tabitha, forget about that familiar, stop this guy!" Seeing Lu Yi rushing over, Sheffield gave the order to Tabitha, and at the same time, ordered the flying fish under him to fly away into the distance.
"Run? Do you think you can escape? Talent, stop Tabasa for me if you want to save Louise!" Lu Yi said, then closed his eyes, his mental energy penetrating the brain of the flying fish in the distance, and then controlling the flying fish to return here.
"What? Oh no, I completely forgot that guy can also control magical dolls!" Sheffield thought to herself as she watched the flying fish, which was now flying back towards Lu Yi out of her control. Sheffield glanced unwillingly at Louise beside her, then glared fiercely at Lu Yi before her body gradually disappeared. Since the flying fish was summoned by Sheffield, it disappeared with her. Louise, having nowhere to stand, fell from the sky. Saito, however, was quick and caught Louise just as she was about to land.
"Nothing to say, Tabasa?" Lu Yi ignored Louise and Saito and walked up to Tabasa.
"Sorry!" he said, then waved his staff and disappeared.
"This can't go on any longer. We need to finish things here quickly. It seems we need to put Tabasa on the throne of Gallia as soon as possible, otherwise, the trouble will never end! I also need to leave this world as soon as possible!" Lu Yi frowned as he looked at the spot where Tabasa had disappeared and thought to himself.
(How do you pronounce "钡鸰"? I'll use that in the next world. As for Bleach and One Piece, I'll write about them later! After all, I haven't watched them yet. I only stopped reading them before because they were too long. Since everyone likes them so much, I'll write about them after I finish watching them!)

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Journey to Galia (Part 1)
Three days have passed since the incident, and Lu Yi and Anliaita have now returned to the palace.
"Anliaita," Lu Yi said softly, looking at Anliaita who was still diligently correcting documents.
"Huh? What's wrong, Sebastian?" Henrietta asked Lu Yi curiously.
"Well... it's nothing! I just wanted to say that you should take a rest. You've been so busy from morning till night these past few days, it's hard for your body to take it." Lu Yi said with concern, looking at Anliaita, who had clearly lost weight in the past two days.
"Hehe... It's alright. If we don't finish processing these documents, they'll only pile up." Anliaita said with a smile, looking at Lu Yi's distressed expression.
“In a few days, our contract will be dissolved,” Lu Yi said.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"I don't know, maybe it's because of my own situation! But there are still a few days left. Once the contract is terminated, you must be mentally prepared. I will take you with me. During this time, you must find a suitable successor to the Queen. I wonder if you have anyone in mind!"
"As for the heir, there is a saying."
"Who?"
Louise.
"It's her? Hmm, if it's her, she's a good candidate. She's talented and has the support of her entire family. She's a good choice." Lu Yi said after thinking for a moment.
"Sebastian, are you really leaving?" Henrietta asked reluctantly. After all, this was the world where Henrietta was born and raised, so it was normal for her to have such an expression upon hearing that she was leaving.
"Yes, that's for sure. But leaving doesn't mean you can't come back. If you ever want to come back, I'll bring you back with me," Lu Yi said with a smile.
"Really? That's good." Henrietta breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Lu Yi say that she could come back.
"Um..." a voice came from behind.
"Tifa? What brings you here?" Lu Yi asked in surprise upon hearing the voice.
“Um, Sebastian,” Tiffany said somewhat uneasily.
"What's wrong? Just say what's on your mind," Lu Yi said.
"I...I want to leave with you." Tifania seemed to have mustered up her courage, looking at Lu Yi with hopeful eyes.
"What's going on? Can you tell me?" Henrietta asked Lu Yi with a smile, seeing Tifania's expression. Being a woman herself, she knew what Tifania's gaze meant, and her woman's intuition told her that something must have happened between Lu Yi and Tifania. If Lu Yi knew what Henrietta was thinking at that moment, he would surely marvel at how terrifying a woman's intuition could be.
"Your Majesty, Louise, Saijin, and Kishu wish to see you!" Just as Lu Yi was wondering how to explain, Anies' voice came from outside the door.
"Let them in!" Hearing Anies's words, Henrietta stopped arguing with Lu Yi about the matter.
"What brings you here? Don't tell me you're here to have fun," Lu Yi said to Cai Ren and Louise.
"Here's what happened..." Cai Ren explained the purpose of his visit.
"What? The one who wants to kidnap Louise is the Gallia royal family?" Henrietta exclaimed after hearing Saito's account.
“Yes, otherwise Tabasa wouldn’t have attacked us,” Saito said firmly.
"But why?"
“Sheffield said he wanted my power of nothingness,” Louise said. But Henrietta hesitated, for this concerned their safety.
"Your Highness, please let me go to Galia," Saijin pleaded, seeing Henrietta's hesitant expression.
"I won't let you go."
"Why? Your Majesty!"
"If you go, it might escalate into a war."
"war?"
“You are my personal guard. Regardless of your intentions, your actions will be considered as those of the Kingdom of Tristine. As far as I know, Tabassa is currently being held as a prisoner, isn’t he? If you insist on rescuing someone of such status, you will certainly be seen as a major act of hostility by the other side, won’t you understand?” Henrietta said earnestly.
Upon hearing Henrietta's words, Saito immediately began to take off her cloak. Lu Yi watched this scene from the side without interfering. For a queen, everything must be for the sake of the country, and Henrietta had no choice but to do so.
"Mr. Saito?" Henrietta stood up from her seat in shock upon seeing Saito's actions.
"Here you go, so you won't cause any trouble for Tristine, right?" Saito's purpose was clear. If he went as a layman, he would be representing himself, not the country, and Saito would have to bear all the consequences alone.
"I agree with the vice-captain." Seeing Saito make such a sacrifice, Kishu, who was standing to the side, also began to take off his cloak and said.
"You people..." Henrietta, seeing their actions, easily gave up, picked up the bell on the table, shook it, and left Anies, pushing open the door and entering.
"Arrest these people," Henrietta ordered Anies.
"Wait..." Just as Anies was about to arrest the two, Lu Yi spoke up.
“Sebastian?” Henrietta asked, looking at Lu Yi. Saito and the others also turned their gazes to Lu Yi.
"Sebastian, only you can persuade His Majesty to let us go and save Tabassa." Upon hearing Lu Yi's words, Cai Ren pleaded as if she had grasped at a straw.
"Wait, wait... Don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to help you. I just want to say, Your Majesty, why don't you arrest her?" Lu Yi waved his hand at Cai Ren, then pointed at Louise and said to Henrietta.
Upon hearing Lu Yi's words, the three of them froze, staring blankly at him. It was as if countless crows were flying over their foreheads, repeatedly calling out, "Fool, fool, fool..."
“Since you came with them, you must have planned this all along, right? If that’s the case, then there’s nothing more to say. Take Louise with you!” Lu Yi said with a smile.
