Once again, Rem carefully inspected the mansion, and unlike the mansions in the territory, the residence of the royal capital was only a three-story detached villa.
But even so, the maids who searched the various rooms still did not find Mistress Emilia. Considering that she was in the royal capital and there was no change last night, she had a faint speculation in her heart, maybe it was Lord Emilia who left the house by herself?
While the blue-haired maid wondered whether it was worth disturbing the sleeping Earl, the object of her concern was just pushing the door open from the gray sky.
"Welcome back, Mistress Emilia. The maid, who had noticed the half-elf figure from the upstairs window, waited at the door one step ahead, startling Amilia, who had cautiously slipped through the door.
"Shhhh Emilia hurriedly put her index finger to her mouth and motioned for the other party not to speak, and Rem nodded calmly.
"Is Rozval awake?" the half-elf asked in a low voice, she didn't want to be told about the basics of safety as soon as she got home.
"Rest assured, the host is still resting. β
Rem's answer made Emilia, who knew that she had done something wrong, put aside a little worry, and did not wait until she noticed that the maid was waiting at the door one step in advance, and sincerely apologized: "Sorry, Rem, for worrying you." β
"Mistress Emilia is fine. Rem kept his usual expressionless face in his heart, 'There is no need to apologize to me as a servant'.
Emilia smiled embarrassedly and took the other party's hand, "Rem-chan, are you angry?" I promise that I will tell you in advance when I go there in the future." β
"Emilia is a great man, and she has to think more about her own safety. Feeling the tenderness of the other party, Rem's reaction was a little stubborn.
It's a bit strange for the two to get along in private, but the maid Rem has become a worried character, maybe it's all because she has a stupid sister.
"Yes, yes. Emilia smiled and nodded, looking exceptionally good at all, not at all tired from returning home, "Did the Pleiades wake up?"
"Still in a coma. β
"Then I'll go back to the study first, Rem, if the Pleiades wake up, remember to notify me as soon as possible. β
"Yes, Mistress Emilia, then I'll go get breakfast ready. β
On the way to the study, Emilia deliberately went around to the sleeping guest room of Natsuki, pushed open the door and quietly looked at her friend lying on the bed. Just like she told Lan last night, every time she sees Caiyue Pleiades, she will eventually have a kind of kindness in her heart to meet an old friend, as if the two have known each other for a long time......
As for why she had such a strange feeling, Emilia could only half-helplessly summarize it as an unpredictable fate.
Also in the headquarters of the Order in Uptown, in the office of the Captain.
Marcus sat behind his desk, and Julius, who stood upright in front of him, talking after the fact because of some of yesterday's 'little things'.
"Is there anything else to justify? β
"No, not at all, it's just like the report. Julius unsheathed his sword from his waist and placed it on his desk with the scabbard, "Even if it is judged that the knight of the guard should not have done something, I have no complaints, and I will leave it to the commander." β
Faced with the attitude of his beloved subordinates, Marcos sighed helplessly on his resolute face.
"In the course of the dialogue between the kings, the candidate's relations were detained, taken to the dueling room, and beaten so badly that they were sent to a medical center! β
"Despite the repeated pleas of your colleagues for your actions, overdoing it is overdoing it. β
"Why can't you forgive those who belittle the pride of knights?"
After patiently listening to the babbling words of the head of the regiment, Julius crossed his feet and said sincerely: "No matter how you cover it up, it is a personal grudge, everything is caused by my immorality and incompetence, and I ask the head of the regiment not to excuse his subordinates." β
Marcus frowned deeply at Julius' answer, perhaps because he had the same 'knight' blood in him.
"HeyβI've been waiting a long time, Filip-chan is back. β
Pushing open the door casually, the uniformed cat-eared lady wagged her tail and entered the house.
"Oops, as soon as I came in, I saw the two of you looking at each other so affectionately, could it be that Philip Sauce bothered the two of you?"
"Don't say anything about what you don't have, report it quickly, you precocious brat. β
"Tsk, Captain, you've revealed your true nature. β
Marcos waved his hand sloppily, probably because he didn't want to ask too much of this subordinate who had always been out of tune.
"According to the order of the regiment commander yesterday, Fili-chan is full of power to treat the Natsuki Pleiades, the wound has healed, the broken bones have been reconnected, and even the teeth have regenerated -- Tourius's suit, the Pleiades is to save the life of Meow. The saluted cat-eared lady winked at her companion beside her.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" said Julius, looking away.
"Julius is really gentle, but don't think that Philip-chan and the head of the regiment are stupid, you don't think we all guessed your thoughts?"
Marcos seemed to agree with Fili-chan's words, slightly tightening his chin and nodding his head.
There will never be a better understanding of his subordinates than him, the superb swordsmanship brought by hard work, and the high self-esteem that has reached the pinnacle of the glory of the knights of the kingdom step by step.
When such a guy meets a guy like Caiyue Pleiades and wants to be side by side with him when he opens his mouth for two sentences, what kind of reaction will he make, it is no longer the result of guessing, it is a blood fight that is destined to happen.
"The worst-case scenario may be to hack the Pleiades to death in the name of disrespect. Shrugging his shoulders casually, Phyllis spread his hands and said something terrifying, "It's good that Julius is one step ahead, otherwise Phyllis-chan will have to do it himself." β
"Don't put your boring energy on civilians who have no power to resist. Marcos glared at the cat-eared lady, "Compared to your healing level that is the best in the continent, it's better to practice swordsmanship more." β
"Don't be grinning, sweating profusely with a sword, Fili-chan's white and red palms will blister. β
In response to the complaints of his subordinates, Marcus could only cover his forehead with a headache, and then seemed to have made a decision, "Knight Chief Julius, you will be punished for thinking about it for five days behind closed doors, and you will be forbidden to enter the headquarters and the upper city, and your sword will be kept by me during this time." β
"Yes. β
"Yes. Marcos nodded, and then spoke, "What do you think about the fact that the giant clan who broke into the palace yesterday is carrying the Rozval family crest on his body?"
"Do you need to keep an eye on me?" suggested Julius, who was at the Knights' headquarters and was one of the strongest blades in the kingdom, frowning.
"The court magician who behaves strangely?" Filip-chan twitched her cat ears, speculating in her heart about the pros and cons of the other party's actions.
"It's not appropriate, it's not our knight's job to spy on an earl who is involved in the king's election. Just keep an eye on the Rozvaar territory and report to the headquarters as soon as you find any special circumstances. β
"Yes!"
"Got it. β
