The starry night is like a curtain, and the festive atmosphere in the royal capital continues. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Teacher, forgive me. Ronnie looked at the wine glass resting on the back of his hand with a look of trepidation, his outstretched arm already crumbling under the sour stimulus.

"If you dare to spill a drop, I'll break your leg. Arashi, who was holding a wine glass, looked seriously at Ronnie, who had been punished by himself for one night.

"Letting you accompany the teacher to the street even made the teacher fall into a situation of getting lost. Arisk, who had just finished cleaning the housework and was wearing a miniature apron, sat down next to Lan and said, "Ronnie, as a servant, you are really unqualified!"

"That's the only thing I don't want to hear from your big guy. Ronnie grumbled loudly.

"Huh, there's no wine?" Arashi shook the empty bottle twice.

"Please wait, teacher......" Alex immediately got up.

"I'm going to buy it for the teacher. Ronnie, who hurriedly took over the conversation, wanted to sink the back of his hand, and when the two wine glasses fell with him, he quickly flipped his wrist, firmly held them in the palm of his hand and placed them on the ground, and then ran out of the door with a puff of smoke.

The insiders looked at the doorway, Lan held the empty wine bottle, and smiled at the full moon in the sky: "The cultivation has worked." ”

Alex, who was still reminiscing about Ronnie's behavior just now, looked at his departing back in a daze, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Go and prepare dinner, you need a different cultivation than his. To Alex in deep thought, Arashi patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

"I see, teacher. The happy, big man got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Today is the Summer Festival, and according to the custom, it is customary to prepare a sumptuous dinner to entertain relatives and friends, but looking at the teacher's appearance, there should be only a few of them eating at home today, Alex is a little sorry that he went to the market to buy so many ingredients.

"Teacher, I'm back!" the excited Ronnie held the wine bottle and handed it to Arashi as if offering a treasure.

"Well, let's help out in the kitchen. With a wave of his hand, Lan sent him somewhere else, so as not to disturb him in front of him.

"Yes. Ronnie made a chivalric salute, rejoicing that he had escaped the torture.

In terms of cooking, Alex has a delicate body that is different from his body, and even Ronnie is not as delicious as he is, so the two of them are busy in the kitchen.

"The day after tomorrow is the king's choice, do you say that the teacher has a candidate to support?" Alex, who was cutting the ingredients, found the topic in silence.

"I don't know. Ronnie, who tasted the soup base, nodded with satisfaction and put down the soup spoon, "I don't think the teacher's character is like someone who would get involved in such troubles." ”

Alex didn't agree with Ronnie's words, he had only been with Lan in the last few days, and he knew better than Ronnie that there were rumors about teachers in the royal capital. Whether it is within the knights or among the nobles, they all acquiesce to this strong man who was born out of nowhere.

Yes, an absolute powerhouse, regarding the teacher's bravery, some people in the knights think that he is only subordinate to the sword master, although such people are still a minority, but this is also another recognition of the teacher, after all, the other party is called the 'strongest' Rheinharut.

And the king is about to be elected, for a strong man like a teacher who has no faction and no foundation, and a candidate who is strictly forbidden to associate with ministers and nobles in private, if he ignores the power of the teacher, it is an insult to the word king.

"I really want to know what kind of person the teacher will choose. ”

Saying this, Alex couldn't help but recall a familiar picture in his mind, the first king, after meeting his own capable general, created the glory of the kingdom of Lugonica, fluttering swallow-tailed flags, and playing triumphant trumpets. It is a mural that is still preserved in the Sophia Library.

"Hey, hey. Ronnie frowned, tapped the soup spoon in his hand on the wall of the pot, interrupted Alex's thoughts, and said seriously: "I don't know what you're thinking, but it's their business to make trouble." Teachers just need to do what they want to do and where they want to go, and the person I choose to follow is a teacher, not a person in power with a crown. ”

"Sorry for the reckless remarks. Alex, who came to his senses, bowed deeply to Ronnie and said, "I hope you don't think that I came here because I fancy something about the teacher." Ronnie and I have the same thoughts on following the teacher, please testify. ”

"Idiot, don't apologize formally. Ronnie rubbed his face and said embarrassedly, "I just said something self-righteous." ”

"Nope. Alex shook his head as he straightened up, "I'm impressed with Ronnie, you're a knight who sticks to your quest." ”

"What are you two babbling about? Lan appeared at the door at some point, put her hand on the door, and said lazily, "Is dinner ready?"

"I'm doing it, I'm doing it. Ronnie rolled his eyes, "You can just keep drinking, teacher." ”

"Is anyone home, please?" heard a visitor's voice outside the door.

Arashi tilted her head to look at Ronnie and Alex, confused, "Your friends?"

The two shook their heads, Alex's hometown is at the border, Ronnie is having dinner at the teacher's house today, and her sister Kurxiu also knows about this.

Arashi, who walked to the door with questions, opened the door, and saw the timid Emilia standing in the evening breeze with a gift, wearing a lilac home dress, which was quite a bit of a fair lady on her.

"Why are you here?!" Arashi turned to the side curiously, inviting the girl in.

"Today's summer festival, according to the custom, is to spend it with relatives and friends. Emilia proudly raised the gift in her hand, "I didn't come empty-handed. ”

"Welcome. "Multiple people are just more pairs of chopsticks," Arashi smiled and shouted towards the kitchen, "Alex, cook more." ”

"Got it, teacher. ”

Arashi was about to greet Emilia towards the living room, when there was a heavy knock at the door. Now that Emilia is here, who else will knock on the door this time?

Opening the door again, an unbelievable gorgeous girl appeared at the door, still dressed in the daytime, and the peacock fan in her hand sometimes opened and sometimes closed.

After seeing Arashi open the door, the girl said to the attendant who knocked on the door for her, "Al, you should go back first." ”

"Yes, Your Highness Princess. The man in the helmet saluted respectfully and stepped back.

The cat-walking girl walked by generously, beside her master, who was still in a state of astonishment, like a queen in a commoner's mansion, and walked through the corridor with dignity, only whispering something when she passed by Emilia.

"The food of the concubine is not allowed to put green onions. The girl commanded into the kitchen.

"Yes...... Yes!" received the girl's instructions like a hostess, which made Alex and Ronnie, who were completely unaware of the situation, tremble.

Okay, Arashi rolled his eyes, one chicken is caught, two chickens are also caught, both come in, all come in. He turned his hand and tried to close the door, but was stopped by a voice.

"It seems that the host's family has invited a lot of distinguished guests. The heroic green-haired girl who slowly stepped out of the carriage, accompanied by the attendant Cat Ear Niang, smiled handsomely, "Although you are uninvited, why don't you wait for us to have a seat?"

Hearing a familiar voice, Ronnie poked his head out of the kitchen and said in disbelief, "Sister, why are you here?" ”

"The summer dinner party should be spent with family and friends, isn't it?" Kursiu, who was struggling with his head high, smiled and walked towards the house with his knight's boots on.

You're all in cahoots. For the sudden situation of the big night, Lan only had this one painful thought in his heart.
