On the wide stone path, a carriage slowly passed, and around the carriage, several guards on horses accompanied with spears. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Teacher, the Fran family is one of the emerging nobles in the imperial capital, and they have a lot of influence in many fields such as spices and food. And my father once made a marriage contract with the current head of the Fran family, and that person was me. Lance sat across from Harita and whispered.

"That Fran family is going to use your family's influence among the nobility, right? Also, your father must be based on some considerations, right?" said Haruta playfully.

Lance touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Yes! My father once hoped to restore the family's decline through marriage!"

Harita nodded slightly.

Aristocrats are a rather stubborn group, and what they pay most attention to is not those so-called gorgeous appearances, but bloodlines, inheritance, and the like!

The Moros family, to which Lance belongs, is already very decrepit compared to decades ago. Not only has he lost a lot politically, but even his family's business is shrinking. And a nobleman, in order to maintain a large family, needs a lot of seemingly unnecessary expenses.

Therefore, it was a wise choice to marry the emerging Fran family, who had a significant position in the business field. Because if this plan can really succeed, then it will not only bring a large dowry to the Moros family, but also have the capital to revitalize the family again!

Of course, this is also quite beneficial to the Fran family.

Marriage with the Moros family, who have an ancient and noble bloodline, and even because the Moros family now has only one heir, Lance, will definitely bring opportunities for the other party to intervene in the imperial politics!

"So, wait, why do I have to come along?" Haruma looked at Lance a little speechlessly.

The latter only smiled slyly.

"Hey, by the way, Lance, what's your fiancée's name?" Haruma asked casually with her head stuck out of the window.

Lance is only fourteen years old, right?

Your circle is really messy.

"That...... I guess it's called Arya. The boy said with some disapproval.

Haruta was speechless for a while.

I don't even know the name of the other party.

However, where does the name Arya seem to have sounded? There seem to be a lot of tricks in the slashing girl, but a young lady from a noble background, maybe I think too much.

Haruta shook her head and sat back in her seat.

…………

The Fran family, one of the emerging nobles in the imperial capital, has entered the two major industries of spices and grain with strong economic strength.

Spices, a high-end commodity for the nobility, were very profitable.

Grain, one of the most important materials, is also one of the important indicators to measure the strength of the nobility.

Previously, due to the exclusion of the old aristocracy, the business of the Fran family was affected for a while, but everything is about to pass. Because, the eldest lady of their family is about to marry the sole heir of the Moros family, and, according to a melon-eating guard who does not want to be named, Lord Fran is about to bribe a certain big man in the imperial capital to achieve the purpose of intervening in the political arena.

Fran family, estate.

It is a palatial manor house with a huge villa standing in the middle. The splendid villa was decorated with expensive ornaments everywhere, and those gorgeous, golden little things were enough to shine in the eyes of the common people.

Of course, in the eyes of the real aristocracy, this is just an upstart.

"Father, what kind of person is the other party?" asked a pretty girl dressed in a woman's dress curiously.

"Oh, you said Lance, that's a good young man! The Moros family is in decline, but it's still .......," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

"By the way, Arya, you have to behave well later!" said the middle-aged man with a loving look.

"Yes, Father!" said the girl, shyly.

Knock knock-!

A servant walked in and said with a respectful face.

"Master, Master Lance has arrived at the gate!"

"Oh, this is it, ma'am, quick, come with me to meet you!" the middle-aged man shook his face and stood up.

This marriage is a very important thing for him.

……….

"Hello, Master Fran!" said Lance, dressed in a suit and with blonde hair and blue eyes, very politely.

"Lance, welcome!, by the way, who is this?" said Master Fran with a smile, then looked at Harita to the side.

"This is my teacher. Lance said with a smile.

"Oh, it's Lance's teacher, it's disrespectful!" said Master Fran, who owed a debt with a hint of doubt on his face.

A teacher with a knife?

A sword teacher?

No, how can it be said that the Moros family is also a nobleman of noble blood, how can they call a mere swordsman a teacher?

Harita smiled silently, and followed Lance into the door.

In the splendid hall, the table was already set up at this time, and the white cloth was covered with rare delicacies, all kinds of delicacies, and fine wine.

Led by the servants, several people sat separately.

At the top of the list was naturally the host, Lord Fran, and to his right, a woman dressed as a noblewoman was sitting, and next to him was a pretty girl. On the left-hand side, Lance and Haruta sat next to each other.

The girl first looked at Haruta curiously, and then Lance quickly lost interest after a few words. Instead, he looked at Lance with a pair of beautiful eyes.

The delicate and lovely Lance is still much more popular than the old bacon like Harita.

Qingtai didn't say anything about this.,Be reasonable.,My tears are much better than yours!Hey,It seems like I haven't been to see tears for a while.。

However, this girl named Arya has always made him a little concerned.

The way she looked at Lance, it didn't seem to be a simple shyness, curiosity, or something like a girl seeing her fiancé, but it was mixed with something quite secret!

However, a young girl, looking back at the situation, reminded Lance that he was fine.

With the order of Master Fran, the banquet began.

…………

After the feast, Harita offers to visit the manor, leaving the place to Lance and Arya. How to say, this is also the first blind date of others, isn't it?

He wasn't going to make any light bulbs.

"Mr. Harita, please come here. A servant stretched out his hand.

Haruta nodded and walked casually.

All in all, it's a nice estate, and if you ignore some of the overly ornate exteriors, it's still great to live in.

In contrast, the Moros family's home, while more historic, is somewhat decayed.

Walking through the forest casually, at a certain moment, Harita's body suddenly tensed, and then he relaxed again.

He beckoned the servant to the side, pointed to a red-looking building, and asked nonchalantly.

"What's that?"

"Huh, that?" the servant was a little confused.

"I said, what is that building for, well, that color, it seems to be rare!" said Haruma casually.

"That...... It's an independent warehouse! It's mainly a sundries, and there's nothing to look at. By the way, Mr. Harita, I don't know if you're interested in knives, our lord can collect quite a few weapons!" replied the servant with a twinkling expression.

"Oh, Knife, that's great!" said Haruma, pretending to be excited.

"Yes, please follow me!"

Harita followed him, her face cold.

Sure enough, there was a problem!

……

In front of the villa, Lance and Arya looked reluctant.

Harita laughed secretly.

Lance, this guy, was fascinated by a little girl for so long?

"Hey, Lance, are you alright?"

"It's coming!Teacher!"

Back in the carriage, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

"Stop!" said Haruma.

"Teacher?" asked Lance, confused.

Harita's expression was inexplicable.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see a good show!"
