Chapter 17: An Invitation from Catherine

"Say!

In any case, the combination of Edie and Charlotte is more than a step stronger than this group of noble youths, even if Charlotte deliberately hides her identity as a spellcaster, but after Edie solves the group of besieging noble youths, the riot quickly comes to an end. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Charlotte rode on top of Alec and swung her fists at each other with her bow left and right. At this time, the 100-meter radius with the Charlotte card seat as the center was already a mess, and there were glass shards and viscous liquor everywhere. What's even more hateful is that the group of onlookers are still knocking melon shells with relish, drinking fine wine, and shouting a few words from time to time to watch this rare aristocratic brawl.

This made Charlotte feel like a clown, so he decided to end the riot as soon as possible.

Alec, who was beaten by Charlotte and had a blue nose and swollen face, held his head and showed a very embarrassed expression, but the martial style of the nobles of Erosa made him unable to say a word.

"I don't accept it! I don't accept it! Hmph! If you beat me to death, what is it if there are more people and ...... bully others?"

He was referring to Edie coming to help Charlotte, but he was still a little ashamed. When he realized that the aristocratic young man lying on the ground wailing and rolling was his own, the guy wisely shut his mouth. He closed his upper and lower eyelids, and his hands simply stopped protecting his face, and he was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water and was ready to let Charlotte be violent.

Seeing his appearance, Charlotte only felt angry and funny. The aristocracy of Erosa is such a ridiculous and respectable bunch, and of course there will be scum among them, and even villains who oppress the good. But when it came to the glory of battle, the nobles regarded it as more important than their own lives.

This is the reason why the Duchy of Erossa, located in the far north, has become one of the four principalities of the empire despite its lack of abundant resources and harsh border environment.

"Hmph! Anyway, I won this battle, so let's take your people and go!

Charlotte thought about it, and he felt that he seemed to have no other way to take this hob meat, so he pushed the other party hard, signaling Alec to roll as far as he could.

Alec knew that he had lost face and would not dare to stay any longer, so he picked up his companions one by one, and before leaving, he felt that he could not act too cowardly, so he put aside a cruel word.

"Charlotte Kimpton, yes! I remember you, and the next time I see you, I'll propose a duel of nobles to you!

The next time I meet you, the turtle bastard, your grandfather, I will kill you with a fireball!

Charlotte motioned for the other to hurry away like a fly, and then he straightened his clothes, and in a rare aristocratic manner, he stretched out his hand to Kathryne, who was shivering behind the sofa. It's just that his blue nose and swollen face, half of his right eye socket is swollen, and his short silver-white hair is dripping with wine really doesn't match his demeanor, so that Catherine can't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha, I'm sorry to embarrass Miss Kathryne. However, please rest assured, Miss Catherine, if there is such a disciple coming to the door in the future, the contemptible person will definitely come forward without hesitation!"

"Poof, thank you so much Master Charlotte. However, if you provoke Young Master Alec, will you be punished when you go home?"

Kathleen pulled out the scented silk scarf from her bosom, she tiptoed to wipe the liquid from Charlotte's forehead, and when a blush appeared on the silk scarf, she immediately let out an exclamation. At this time, the tavern owner, who had been hiding aside during the riot, stepped forward with a bitter face and handed Kathryn the medical gauze.

"This ...... Haha, that's really not good. I think it would be better for me to stay a few more days near Lucerne, and then I'll go back when the limelight has passed and my father's anger has almost subsided. ”

Charlotte touched the back of her head, looking like a teenager who only realized the consequences of her impulsiveness after being angry at the crown for the sake of the beauty, and showed a slightly uneasy look. His youthful appearance made Kathleen laugh out loud again, she gently wrapped medical gauze for Charlotte, and when her warm little hand touched the skin of Charlotte's head, it really gave him a wonderful feeling of heartbeat.

"That's fine...... My skills are not good, please forgive Master Charlotte, and please go to the church for a serious treatment later. Puff ......"

Kathleen looked at Charlotte's ridiculous appearance with gauze wrapped around half of her head, and couldn't help bending down anymore. Charlotte looked at Edie in confusion, who looked at his big-headed doll-like look, clutching his waist exaggeratedly and laughing. This made Charlotte decide to take off the mass of gauze as soon as she went out.

"That, that, the nobleman of the Kimpton family, because of the mistake of the contemptible people, which led to the occurrence of this riot, the contemptible people solemnly apologize to you. Today, you have decided to exempt all the contemptible people who are here for consumption, and I hope that the nobles will not take it to heart!"

The tavernkeeper interjected at the right time, his face showing just the right amount of pain, but Charlotte knew that it was just the fat pig trying to catch a big fish with a long line.

"The ...... that should have been exempted from the order for Master Charlotte"

Kathryn muttered under her breath, and when she noticed the tavernkeeper's glaring gaze, she immediately cowered behind Charlotte.

Her performance made Charlotte wonder if what she had done today really made sense, and it seemed that Kathryn had really stumbled into an underground tavern, and she couldn't see anything wrong at all.

He glanced at Edie quietly, who shook his head slightly, and it seemed that the guy who had spent his childhood in the underworld of Santos Town couldn't see any clues.

This made Charlotte feel that she was really stupid, wasting time and energy, not to mention, and had to compete with a group of aristocratic young men and get a fat beating. At the thought of this, he felt a little distracted, and the discomfort caused by the sticky liquor on his body also urged him to leave the underground tavern as soon as possible.

"I'm sorry, Miss Catherine, I think I had to leave. You're right, I need to go to church first and ask the pastor to help me take care of the wounds on my body, and besides, with the honor I have now, it's too much to surprise you. ”

As soon as he spoke, he could see a look of chagrin on the tavernkeeper's face, and he gestured to Kathryn with his eyes, who hesitated for a moment, and said to Charlotte with his head raised.

"Do you really have to leave? Can't you sit a little longer?"

"Sorry, but ......"

Although the words were not finished, Charlotte's determination to leave was unequivocal.

"I see, then I'll send you off Master Charlotte, I hope you can come over next time to chat with Kathryn. ”

This time, instead of looking at the barkeeper's frustrated face, Kathleen kept a distance of about half a shoulder's width from Charlotte and delivered her to the door of the basement where she came.

"Well, then, just send it here, Miss Kathryn, and I'll come to see you again if I have the chance. Please take care of yourself while you're here!"

"Well, thank you, Master Charlotte, and so are you, be careful of Master Alec's revenge. ”

"Hahaha, don't worry, things between nobles are not so simple and rude!"

This is not a lie, otherwise Charlotte would not have had the trouble of taking Alec for some reason. In the Duchy of Erosa, there were only about three forms of settlement of private disputes between nobles. First, the duel of honor, everyone lives and dies according to their destiny; second, political strife, you harm me, I harm you, and in the end we still shake hands and make peace; third, family wars, but in this case, unless there is the acquiescence of the feudal king, most of them cannot be fought in the end.

Assassinations were not uncommon, but they were not very popular among the middle and lower class aristocracy. The reason is very simple, you only have a grudge today, and tomorrow that person will die, who will believe you if you said that you didn't do it? When the time comes, the reputation of the family will be ruined by you.

"Well, then I'm relieved, it's a little different from the situation in our Duchy of Hotson. ”

Kathryn was right. Because of the different atmospheres, the intrigues and intrigues of the southern principality of Hotson are rampant, and the nobles may be trampled to the bottom of the mud by their political enemies if they are not careful, which makes Charlotte even less suspicious of Kathryn.

However, just when Charlotte felt that this time it was a futile return, Kathryn suddenly approached Charlotte's side, and her shiny cherry lips spat out warm breath, and the sultry sweet breath mischievously blew into Charlotte's ears, making him shiver.

"Master Charlotte...... Tomorrow, Kathleen may be ...... In conclusion, Kathleen is looking forward to welcoming you. ”

As she spoke, she shoved a small wad of notes into Charlotte's hand, then turned and ran away from them. Charlotte noticed that Kathleen seemed to be covering her mouth, looking a little sad and a little shy.

When I walked out of the tavern, I heard the noise of the streets in the market area. In contrast to the dreamlike land of the world, the streets in front of you are chaotic and crowded, and you can see stevedores working nervously everywhere.

Charlotte looked up at the sky, where the sun was approaching mid-heaven. He took a deep breath, and although the streets of the market area were filled with the smell of sweat, he felt that the atmosphere here was more suitable for him.

"Hey, stop the ink, what did she give you?"

Edie bumped Charlotte's shoulder, squeezing her eyebrows and making a funny look.

"Edie, I guessed it, this woman named Kathryn does have a problem. ”

Charlotte spread out her palms, and the words on the note confirmed Edie's guess to some extent.

Tomorrow night's Katherine First Night Auction will be held at Lucerne Mystery Land, so please wait in front of the market square, where you will be led to the park. In addition, since the participants are all noble people, in order to ensure privacy and smoothness, please wear a mask with you, and the attendants should not exceed two people, and please do not disclose it to other people. At that time, your safety will be fully guarded by the person in charge, so rest assured!'

"Wow, it looks so attractive!"

While Edie was smiling exaggeratedly, Charlotte grinned in response.

"But it looks more like some kind of cult gathering, doesn't it?"
