Eighty-four

If there is a suitable reason for refusal, Danica will refuse immediately.

At the moment, she had no idea of turning down Remington Magalia's offer. Improving the relationship with the nobles is also her recent goal, and the Magria family is one of the representatives of the upper nobles, although the relationship was bad in the past, but if there is a possibility of improvement, she does not want to give up.

For the development of the mountain town, what are the things that were encountered in the past?

Of course, this is a decision that I would never have thought of before, and if I changed it to my former self, I would never think about adjusting the relationship between the nobles and myself in any case.

"Samuel, you can go back first, if there is a situation over there, I will go back later. ”

Some personal matters may be discussed next, and it is not convenient for someone to continue to follow.

"Forget it, if I go back alone, every one of them will surely scold me half to death. ”

"How could it be ......"

Danica muttered, and Remington made a gesture of please, inviting them to get into the carriage.

Thinking about it, if there is one more person around, it will be more reassuring, and it is several times better than contacting the people of the Magria family alone.

Having said that, this guy shouldn't be a casual excuse when he talks about Norman, right?

In fact, Danica didn't meet Norman at all in the palace in the past two days, and it was two days after he slapped him.

Norman was a man with a lot of self-esteem, and he probably lost a lot of face on that occasion. So if you say that, this guy invited himself just to get a certain amount of compensation?

Danica lacks this the most, it's impossible.

The rest is probably a formal apology, right?

Given that he didn't show up for two days, or didn't want to go out?

I got into the carriage and thought about it all the way, but before I could come up with the most appropriate answer, after a few minutes passed, the carriage stopped.

"It's here. ”

They're there so soon, and they haven't even stepped out of the main street outside the palace!

After getting off the carriage, I saw the restaurant in front of me, the storefront and the signboard were in line with the aesthetic eyes of the nobles, using the best stone and carving technology to achieve extraordinary beautiful ornamentation, which was also inlaid with the precious magic lamp, which was very high-end.

Of course, in addition to this, this restaurant has eight floors, which is considered one of the few very tall restaurants on this street.

The hostess standing at the door of the restaurant was also dressed like a superior person, and the clothes on his body fully showed the extravagance.

Stepping inside, when Samuel saw the decoration further, and remembered that he had accompanied the foolish little princess in search of the cat, the decorations in the several rooms he passed on the way were not much different from now.

The life of a rich man made Samuel smack.

The first floor is like an overly spacious hall, and at first glance, the four deepest corners are decorated with statues, and in addition to the four staircases leading to the top, there is also a very high fountain in the center, from which water flows down with different colored lights. Because of the light, the water that flows from above becomes a rainbow of seven colors, which is strange and beautiful.

The texture of the stone sculpture behind the fountain is also extremely realistic.

Led by Remington's Familiar Door, they walked up the stairs on the left to the third floor, where they made a detour that felt as if they were stepping into a small labyrinth. Anyway, they came to one of the rooms.

If it's your first time here, you'll probably be confused by the layout and decorations around you, but it looks the same in every place, but it's actually different.

Danica complained in her heart, this is just a restaurant, why is it so complicated and big?

"I like to hang out with my friends here. ”

"Downstairs is good for all kinds of parties. ”

"Indeed, when it was first built, the head of the house had this idea. ”

Remington continued to smile, stepped over to his seat, removed his chair, and invited Danica to sit down.

"Please. ”

"Thank you. ”

Before coming to this room, Danica saw several familiar people, and they were quite surprised to see that they would never expect that she would also come here, and that she was invited by the people of the Magoria family. However, even if this Remington Magoria is a businessman, it does not change the fact that he was born into a nobleman.

He must have been known here for a long time, even if compared to his younger brother, he didn't enter the palace more often than a few times a year.

I don't know how the boring idlers in the court will speak ill of her behind her back the next day.

However, if you continue to be passive like this, nothing will change.

"If it's just because of Norman, I don't think it's necessary...... Although it was said that the incident was ......, Danica began to feel embarrassed at the mention of the incident, but luckily her face was almost recovered, thanks to the medicine Vance gave her.

"I'm sorry for my brother. ”

“…… No, I'm also at fault......"

Please, don't talk about the whole thing in front of irrelevant people.

Danica bowed her head slightly, there happened to be a glass of water on the table, pretending to drink water, and the movement of bowing her head would not be strange. It's just that she doesn't know what to say next.

That's not good, she doesn't have anything to do with that guy in the first place, he's always been so annoying. No, it's not good to sit back now, she always has something to think about. No, no, Remington really only came here for the Norman business? That's too simple, isn't it? Don't they all think of time as important?

What was Remington's real intentions?

Danica's stomach was full of tangles, and Remington, who was sitting across from her, flipped through the food menu.

"If you don't mind, I'll just order a few portions, or rather, what do you want to eat?"

"Food, food? That, it's okay. ”

Why is she so worried now, obviously she hasn't done anything bad!

Danica put her hand on her lap and squeezed it vigorously, telling herself that she couldn't get tangled up anymore, that she couldn't think like this anymore.

"I haven't seen him in the palace for the past two days, and you invited me here because of what happened to him?"

Norman is now the representative of the Magria family, and the fact that he did not attend the meeting really surprised Danica.

"He hasn't been out of the house since that incident. ”

Remington coughed, "Actually, only the people in our family know about this matter, and he is grounded. The old man was so angry that he forbade him to go out the next day. ”

"We people from the Magria family, because they are old men, pay special attention to face. Even if you're ...... In short, the people of the family consider it an insult. ”

“……”

Yes, she is yelling and scolding like a commoner in the palace, what kind of nobleman is she, she is the one who has no place to be ashamed.

She was the least aristocratic of the aristocracy, poor, and did not recognize her identity in time.

All along, the things she encountered, whether she was bullied or how she was treated, these pasts caused her a misunderstanding. Even if there is a reason, he subconsciously put himself as a victim of everything that happened to him, and has always resisted other nobles who watch the drama and gossip behind his back, and has always instinctively disgusted their attitude that it is not his business.

She has always regarded herself as a tragic figure who has been bullied, even for the future of Yamashiro, these efforts she has made are far from enough. She was too satisfied, among the people in the mountain city, too accepting of sympathetic eyes, so she worked hard with peace of mind.

This peace of mind caused her to create a delusion, and even a deep immersion.

No, it's not enough, it's not enough.

If you go on, you'll just stand still.

She must sort out who she is and recognize who she really is.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to insult the Magalians. ”

Danica lowered her head and spoke her thoughts.

"I was so immature to say that in the palace. ”

"Remington, I don't know how you have a relationship with your brother Norman, but since you invited me, you probably have your own ideas. I don't know how much you know about him. After a pause, Danica continued, "I hate him, I hate him very much, from the day I became a nobleman, from the day I met him, I hated him very, very much. ”

"What happened the other day was my recklessness, my naivety. ”

"But I will never hide what I think now, at that time, the words I said were deliberate, my anger at him. And all the time, and ever, and ever, until the end...... I'm sorry, that's my venting, stupid. ”

"I understand, my brother did go too far. ”

Remington didn't seem to care at all, the good upbringing he had received since childhood allowed him to hide his expression well, even if he was surprised to hear such a sincere confession.

The man couldn't tell what he was thinking, but despite this, Danica bowed her head deeply, as if to show how stupid and rude she was, and that without the table, she might have lowered her head to the ground.

"Really, I'm sorry! If I was rude, I would have caused the Maglia family to suffer......!

"I believe you, the food is coming up, let's eat something first. ”

Danica heard footsteps, and then looked up to see someone coming with food.

Behind him, Samuel touched his nose, looked at the table full of food, and covered his stomach and was already hungry, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

How long was he going to stand here, and what was he thinking if the food could be packed.

While enjoying dinner, Remington was also curious about Samuel.

Asked about the identity of the guard, whom he had never seen before, he was sent away in the words of the new servant.

Towards the end of the day, Remington pulled out a beautiful golden invitation.

"Tomorrow night, I hope you can attend. ”

"Me?"

"Tomorrow night, my family will hold a party and invite many noble friends. I hope you can come, and as compensation, it is best to apologize to him personally at the party, in exchange for some face for our Magria family. ”

It turned out that this was Remington's true intention.

She would meet Norman at the party, and indeed, the old nobles of the Magoria family were very face-conscious.

Even though she remembered Path's condition, she still couldn't wake up, and she didn't know when she would wake up.

I'm so worried, I'm worried and I want to go back soon.

"I accept. ”

This invitation cannot be refused.

Coming out of the restaurant, follow the road all the way through the bustling main street to the street where the temple branch is located. As she approached the temple branch, Danica stopped and looked at the overly white building not far away, even at night.

"Before I go in, I have one thing I want to ask you, don't tell me what happened tonight. ”

"I have no interest in participating in and discussing this kind of gossip. ”

"Thank you. ”

Danica let out a long breath and said slowly, "As you can see, I don't have a good relationship with the people here. Tomorrow night, too, I'll go to that party, and then I won't bother you anymore. ”

Although it was Lance who commissioned these people at the beginning, considering that because of himself and Paz, they were involved in the incident of sleeping sickness for unknown reasons, and they were somewhat unhappy.

And, at worst, the way the disease spreads, it is said to have something to do with magic.

I also have contact with Paz, not only myself, but also some other people.

I haven't been recruited yet, are you lucky?

In fact, in this situation, she should not go to a crowded place, whether it is the street or the palace.

They were so busy that they didn't specifically tell themselves not to go anywhere.

She worries about Path, she worries about Vance, and she worries about the people around her.

"If Vance asks why we're back so late, let's say it's been delayed by the palace business. ”

Samuel nodded and followed.

"Let's go inside. ”

As soon as they walked in, they saw Liliel walking towards them, and it seemed that she had been standing there waiting for them.

"You're finally back, meow!"

"Where's everyone?"

"They're all in there!"

Danica glanced around as she walked, it was empty, and there was no one else but them.

"You're the only one here, to be honest, there's no problem here, right?, there are no knights standing guard, and I didn't see the priest greet people when I came in. "From the time they came in through the door to the time they saw Lily, there were no knights or priests here, not even the knight they had seen before.

"Probably it's okay, meow, I heard that there seems to be a magic barrier, and people who aren't invited will think they're done and go out immediately when they come in. There aren't many people left here now, and not long after you left this morning, the knight left with some people when he was ready!"

"So, so you've been here all day today, and you've not gone out?"

As she passed through the hallway, Samuel threw her the question.

"We went out to look for Meow, but we haven't found him yet...... And it's not just to find him...... Meow. ”

Lilil looked a little frustrated, "The matter of finding him is important, and Hima told Lilil that the affairs of the branch are also very important, so ...... So meow ......"

"I'll talk about it when Luxma comes. ”

When they came to that room, they stopped.

"They're back, we're in, meow!"

With a shout, Lilil opened the door and walked in.

Upon entering, Danica immediately notices Vance, who has his back to them, unaware of what he is fiddling with. And, of course, Paz. She took a few steps before Vance turned and glanced at her.

"He's still like that. ”

Before Danica could speak, her thoughts were already leaked from her expression.

"Don't worry. ”

"Don't worry. ”

Vance repeated one more sentence.

“…… He's going to be fine, right?"

"No problem, meow, we're starting to have some clues!"

Hima also walked over, "If the perpetrator of this incident is a monster, think of a way according to this idea, and you will soon find a way!"

"I've put this in handy. ”

Vance was playing with a pot of unflowering plants, similar in appearance to ordinary weeds.

"This plant?"

"It's called Usalidora. ”

"It's a hassle to explain, but it's a magic plant, and it's not very useful in normal times, but it's enough at this time! ”

The decisive factor is the concentration of elemental magic, which is full of light magic elements, and the air has very little elemental magic, just like growing up in a remote village where magic is not widespread at all. In that case, there would be only one fruit, and Uzalidora would never bloom and would even die in the end.

"Wait for tomorrow, wait for it to bloom, and then look at its color. ”

"That's right, Meow, our efforts on our side, and then the knight grown-up is investigating on the other side!"

"Looks like it's going to be a result soon?"

"Of course Meow! Hima gets serious about Meow! Meow who can do anything!"

"Then you can find Popin tomorrow, right? ”

Samuel smiled and gestured to the people on the bed.

"Of course meow! Why are we here?"

Really, really, can breathe a sigh of relief.

Danika looked at Paz with a soothing expression, and she felt like she had been tense since she came in.

At this moment, I can finally settle down a little.

"Thank you...... However, I have to go back to the inn and write a letter to report to you about Paz and the situation of Path. As for the time to go back, everything can only be said when Paz wakes up, and no one knows how long it will be delayed.

"Vance, if you can ...... No, Paz will continue to ask you. ”

During these days, the hardest thing was Vance, and looking at the way Paz was now, Danica couldn't say anything to let him go back to the inn to rest. And there is only so much I can do that I can do, and staying here will not help much.

"I'm back at the hotel, too. ”

"Wait, Samuel, give me a meow. ”

"What else do you want to say?"

His footsteps stopped, and he didn't turn around.

"Don't forget about Vivian!"

******

"Why are you still here?"

Somewhere in the darkness, someone stepped out and looked at a small, white guy who was crouching there, glaring at himself with anger and displeasure.

"It's my fault that I've encroached on your territory. ”

"We're all of the same kind. ”

“…… It's really uncomfortable to the nose, there are too many smells here. ”

"I don't like the meow here. ”
