Patrick Haynes, the third son of the Marquis of Haynes, is a tsundere like Jusis.

Proud everyone can see that his eyes are above the top, his nostrils look at people, and he talks about his family history at every turn; Jiao is more simple to understand, and he is honest - he also wants to get along with everyone and have real friends, not the smugglers around him who only care about the name of sycophants.

When he first entered school, because of his growth environment and family education, his arrogance overwhelmed Jiao. That's why there are self-righteous gangs, defeating Alan in a way that almost damages the dignity of others and provoking the seniors in the club with all their eyes, and seeing that Class VII surpassed Class I, they came to find trouble aggressively.

But after a series of events, such as being refused to join by Li En, such as being defeated by the trio of Class 7 Xueba with crushing results, such as being roasted by Li En to half-cooked, such as being hit by Elyse in the imperial capital, such as being easily beaten by Freda, who seemed to be delicate and weak, and thought that he was just the manager of the fencing club

Uh, it seems like it's all a failure?

Ahem, don't worry about the details. Everyone should remember that Patrick is the fourth in the school year of cultural classes, and martial arts and Jusis are a grade, and he is a real elite with both civil and military skills. The reason why he lost was only because he encountered a monster that could not be guessed by common sense, not that he himself was not strong. In fact, Patrick's level can blow up at least 98 percent of his peers.

Hey? How do you get darker and darker? No matter what, in short, failure is the mother of success, after a series of blows and failures, Patrick is no longer impetuous, got rid of a lot of bad problems, became a qualified tsundere son, and at the same time really got the recognition of all the members of the class, as the organizer of the Class I Academy Festival.

But now. He should have been busy for the academy festival, but he seemed to be preoccupied.

How can you see it?

Quite simply, Patrick came from a large aristocratic family, and his requirements for etiquette were almost strict, and he always walked with his head held high, how could he keep his head down like he did now. Even Rien, who was walking towards him, didn't notice it.

"What's wrong? Patrick, looking listless. ”

"Shu Huaze," Patrick glanced up at Rien, "what's the matter?" ”

"I'm fine, but I think there's something wrong with you."

"It's nothing, it has nothing to do with you."

"Whether it matters or not, you can also tell me about it, maybe it will be better to say it."

"Well, you're such a weirdo." Patrick sighed nonchalantly, "Since you say so. It's not that I can't tell you. ”

"Listen up."

"Actually, I kind of care about Thorestein"

Threstam, the deacon assigned to Patrick by the Haynes family, is as proficient as Sharon in etiquette, socializing, cooking, and martial arts, and is almost omnipotent. (Sharon, Threstam, Sallyfa, the deacon, and the maid are all monsters.) The little maid in the first student dormitory, Rod, is relatively normal. ）

For Patrick, Threstan was more than just a deacon serving him. It's the relatives who watched him grow up since he was a child, stern and kind, like his brother. The relationship between the master and servant has always been very good, and it can be said that there is nothing to talk about.

But since last week, there has been something strange about how Threstan looks. Although the deacon's work was as perfect as usual, Patrick sensed that Thresstein was a little absent-minded. Treat yourself coldly. Not only do they not remind themselves of what they should pay attention to as they usually do, but sometimes they say something inexplicably flattering or respond perfunctorily to what they say, which is the first time this has happened.

After seeing Thresstein talk to someone through the Guiding Force Communication with a serious face, Patrick finally couldn't help it. He had asked Serrestan more than once, but each time he had been swept away in a few words. This made Patrick angry. I felt that I was unproductive, so I wanted to go to the gymnasium to practice swords to vent, but I happened to be bumped into by Li En.

"So that's what happened, so do you want me to go quietly and see what's wrong with him?" After listening to Patrick's story, Rien proposed.

"You? Go and Serestan? ”

"Well, there are some things that are inconvenient to say to people close to you, and others will not have any scruples if you agree."

"That's right," Patrick thought for a moment and nodded, "Please, but why are you?"

"Why would I like to help you, huh?"

"Hmm."

"Although you have such and such shortcomings, and you are in competition with our class, you are generally not a bad person, and you are not annoying. Moreover, your class has released a competitive declaration to our class, and you, the leader, are not in a state, even if we win, you will not be convinced. ”

"Are you sure you're going to win?" Not to be outdone, Patrick said, "I think you haven't decided on a theme yet. ”

"It's going to be decided tonight, and I'm sure I'll surprise you, so don't be afraid."

"Joke, I'll be afraid of you?"

"That's what you want, it's not interesting if you don't do that, then I'll go to Serestan first and wait for my good news."

"Shu Huaze, you are really strange."

Bistro "Cherry".

Sarah sat in the corner of the bar, not booze as usual, but quietly raised her glass and took a sip.

There was a glass of whiskey identical to Sarah's hand in the next seat, but it was empty, and no one touched the glass the whole time.

Today is the death day of her comrades-in-arms, and she mourns the deceased with the situation of drinking.

Thanks to her, the noisy tavern in the past is exceptionally quiet today, and even the occasional passing by Serestan was attracted by the atmosphere, and unconsciously walked into the tavern, picked a secluded location, and drank alone.

After a few minutes, his thoughts were shattered, and someone sat down beside him on his own: "A cup of lemon tea, thank you." ”

"Oh? Isn't this Lane-san? "Someone who came to know Serrestan and one of the objects of his young master's "hate", Riene Schwarzer, "The young master has caused you trouble every time, I'm really sorry." ”

"Who made your young master a tsundere who is not frank. No, it's causing me trouble again. "If Patrick hears Rien's answer, he will probably go on the spot—is that what you mean by "quietly"?

"I see." Serestan is worthy of being more than Sharon, and it is clear at all, "I made the young master worried, so the young master asked Ryon to find out what I was thinking?" Right. ”

"That's it, though I'm nosy. Then again, neither you nor Patrick are anything else like usual. I've heard Miss Sharon say that you don't seem to be a drinker. Rien said, glancing at the wine glass in front of Serestan.

"It's not that exaggerated, even if I'm a deacon, there will be occasional times when I want to have a drink while working." Serestan chuckled, "--of course, it's a joke, it's just non-alcoholic drinks, and I'd like to at least try to see the atmosphere." ”

"If you want to try the atmosphere of drinking, you don't seem to have a small problem, so it's no wonder that Patrick put on that expression and asked me for help."

"It seems that I seem to have made the young master feel more troubled than I could have imagined." Threstan frowned slightly.

"So, at least reveal something." Li En said.

"Well, that's a bit complicated, huh."

Seeing that Serestan wanted to stop talking, Lane decided to take the initiative: "Is there something wrong with my family?" ”

“！” Serestan's face changed slightly, "I didn't expect Lane to be so keen-sensitive. ”

"Sure enough. Although you serve Patrick, you are a deacon of the Haynes family after all, and you cannot disobey your family's orders. ”

"As you say. The other day, His Excellency the Marquis of Haynes issued a recall order directly to me. The order said that if we were quick, we would return to Haines's mansion the following week. In my personal mood, I still want to continue to serve the young master by his side, and it seems that the family is starting to feel panicked. ”

At present, the empire is treacherous, and the undercurrent under the table is turbulent, and it is the time when there is the greatest shortage of manpower, and it is reasonable to recall the expatriates. Especially a capable officer like Threstam, otherwise it would not have been ordered by the Marquis himself.

"Even so, His Excellency the Marquis of Haines is a man of considerable affection. As long as I can do my job thoroughly, it is quite possible to tolerate a little of my willfulness. So at the moment, I'm looking in all directions for a way that will allow me to do more work than usual and stay in Tolista. ”

"Young Master, he didn't treat me as an ordinary servant, but gave me a place to live as a human being. So, as long as I can do it, I want to do anything for him. ”

"Then why don't you confess your heart directly to the Marquis of Haines? There are some words that can never be conveyed without saying them, and I believe that Your Excellency Marquis will be able to understand your mind and Patrick's mind. ”

Dawn's words can be described as a word that wakes up the dreamer.

Give up small means and say it openly, the bond between the two is not something that can be stopped by this little thing.

"Thank you, Rien-san, I know what to do."

"-That's it, Celestein has gone to contact your father, let me come back and talk to you first." In the indoor martial arts arena, Lane truthfully told Patrick what had happened.

"Hmph, it's your own decision behind my back." Patrick muttered quietly.

"Don't you think I can see that you're happy?" Lane complained.

"Happy? Where did I make you feel this way when you watched it? Patrick subconsciously retorted, "Besides, even if Threstan isn't there, it's a little bit to me—"

"A little what? Not happy at all? Not happy at all? Not at all? ”

"Lai Eun Shu Hua Ze!" Patrick was annoyed.

"Ah, Mr. Serrestin, are the negotiations over? The result? ”

"What?" Patrick looked out the window, but found that there was no shadow of Threstan at all, and couldn't help but be furious, "Shu Huaze, you lied to me!" ”

Looking back, Li En had already walked away, and the sound of closing the door was particularly crisp.

PS: In the previous chapter, Jusis was unlucky, how did Patrick, who is also a son of the four famous families, escape?

PS2: Actually, Sanshao is still quite cute, and it's good to have the opportunity to write a biography in the future. (To be continued.) )
