Amelia didn't expect Carlotta to actually provide an answer, and a hint of surprise flickered in her blue eyes.
Camella, standing beside her, also heard Carlotta's words but curled her lips in disbelief.
The "Elven Sunset" was already the ninth movement. Even Thea didn't know where the problem lay, so how could Carlotta, a mere second-tier apprentice, possibly know the reason?
Amelia trusted Carlotta's judgment and said, "Miss White, would you like to share your understanding with Mrs. Austin? If your answer is correct, you could earn Mrs. Austin's friendship. Although she's quick-tempered, she's quite a good person."
Carlotta couldn't help but ponder for a moment.
She hadn't intended to stand out too much, but forming a good relationship with Mrs. Clorinde Austin didn't seem like a bad idea.
Kestholm was home to numerous guilds, with six of them standing above the rest, controlling most of the trade in the capital and even the Wendell Empire. These were known as the Six Great Guilds: the Cavendish Guild, the Fors Guild, the Margaret Guild, the Flora Guild, the Austin Guild, and the Watson Guild.
Clorinde Austin's surname was Austin, which spoke volumes about her status within the Austin Guild. Even nobles will show her respect upon meeting her.
At this moment, Clorinde turned to others for help, but no one else could pinpoint the issue either. The problem Clorinde faced was simple, yet its very simplicity made it hard to identify the cause.
Carlotta stood up and said, "Mrs. Austin, I have an idea about your problem."
Clorinde and the others suddenly turned their attention to Carlotta upon hearing her words.
With a smile, Carlotta explained her judgment and suggested that Clorinde try changing the way she performed the "Elven Sunset."
Clorinde didn't know Carlotta but recognized Amelia beside her. Upon hearing Carlotta's suggestion, she immediately tried it by waving her rapier.
This was a simple method of manipulating magic, not difficult at all. Clorinde only needed to pay a little attention to the flow of her energy to complete the process.
The "Elven Sunset," as the ninth movement of the Twelve Echoes of Elven Steel, manifested as a glorious sun descending with the attack, magnificent and dazzling.
When the sun, indistinguishable from others', appeared, Clorinde's face lit up with joy.
"Finally, it's back to normal. So that was the reason," Clorinde felt immensely relieved.
The others were surprised that Clorinde's problem could be solved so easily, and they all looked at Carlotta in astonishment, silently reminding this insightful young girl.
Camella, however, was dumbfounded.
While the others didn't know Carlotta was only a second-tier apprentice and were merely surprised, Camella was shocked.
How could a second-tier apprentice solve the problem with the ninth movement, "Elven Sunset"?
"What should I call you?" Clorinde, after her joy subsided, came over to greet her.
Carlotta smiled and replied, "I'm a student at Caerwyn Academy. My name is Carlotta White."
Clorinde laughed, "Miss White, I'll remember you."
She probably thought Carlotta was an upperclassman, completely unaware that Carlotta was just a first-year student.
After greeting Carlotta, Clorinde also exchanged a few words with Amelia.
The elf knight gathering continued, with other ladies presenting their own challenges.
Not every problem was unsolvable, and the subsequent issues were naturally addressed by others, making the tea party proceed very smoothly.
"What? Miss White is a first-year student? And still a second-tier apprentice?"
During her conversation with Amelia, Clorinde finally learned about Carlotta's situation, and her expression changed immediately.
Her thoughts aligned with Camella's, filled with disbelief.
She couldn't understand how a second-tier apprentice could solve the problem with the ninth movement, "Elven Sunset."
Amelia stood up this time, "Miss White's talent in Elven Knight Path is truly astonishing. She's the most outstanding person I've ever seen. It's a pity…"
Her expression was full of regret.
"A pity for what?" Clorinde couldn't help but ask.
"It's a pity that Miss White's major is card magic."
"This…"
Clorinde's face also showed regret.
Seeing the two of them looking at her with such pity, Carlotta couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.
She thought they didn't need to feel so regretful.
Elven Knight Path was also her major, but it wasn't something she could reveal.
After all, no one in history had ever been able to condense two runes within their body. If such a thing were exposed, who knows what kind of trouble it would bring.
At the tea party, another problem was raised, leaving everyone momentarily stumped.
The challenge was presented by a baroness named Euniel Houston, a seemingly gentle and honorable lady.
"My major is magic, and Elven Knight Path is my minor. I've reached the fourth movement, 'Elven Dance,' but after a long time, I still can't master the fifth movement, 'Elven Starfall.' How can I break through?"
For the Transcendents of this world, whether it's magic or knight techniques as a minor, the progress is very slow due to the inability to condense runes within the body.
After reaching a certain level, it becomes almost impossible to advance further.
Baroness Houston faced a similar problem, which was nearly unsolvable.
Those with better talent might be able to advance further in their minor, but most people, like Euniel, would hit a wall at this point.
Faced with Euniel's problem, the other tea party could only advise her to accept this outcome.
Seeing this, Amelia couldn't help but whispered to Carlotta, "Miss White, how do you think Baroness Houston's problem can be solved?"
Given Carlotta's previous performances, Amelia had developed an almost blind trust in her regarding Elven Knight Path.
Upon hearing Amelia's question, both Clorinde and Camella couldn't help but look at Carlotta.
Asking a second-tier apprentice such a question seemed absurd, but based on Carlotta's previous performance, not only Clorinde but even Camella found themselves expecting Carlotta's answer.
Carlotta, of course, didn't know the answer and began to gather information on the spot, quickly understanding the situation.
The information related to Elven Knight Path was extremely detailed, covering all aspects, so it didn't take long for Carlotta to find the answer.
