The gate was open, the summer flowers were in full bloom, and eighty-eight servants dressed in white and black trousers with roses embroidered on the corners lined up in two columns in front of the gate of the Earl's Court, which were as neat as armies.

There is no red carpet.

For it was not the guests who were greeted, but the owner who had returned to the mansion, Countess Purple Rose.

There was no welcome speech.

Because the burning under the restrained gaze of all the servants has fully demonstrated their ardent expectations for the missing master during the two years that Lin An has been missing.

There is no object of allegiance to serve, even if he is a subordinate of the Earl's Court, he is the person with the least honorary status to speak of.

But.

They've finally waited for this day.

When the master returned, he broke all the rumors and untruths, and as the youngest and brightest female archmage in history, after participating in the canonization ceremony of the emperor's grandson, she was full of honor and attention, and was accompanied by the carriage sent by the royal family and the honorable royal highness, and returned with glory!

Up and down the Earl's Court - with honor!

Getting out of the carriage, Lin An almost immediately sensed whether the master was completely different from a noble mansion.

The last time she came back quietly, she saw that the Earl's Court was still quite orderly.

But this time, Bai Jufang's servants had a completely different look.

They swept away the previous slump, just like a dormant volcano facing an eruption, even if Lin An didn't have to perceive it, he could feel the high-spirited and agitated hearts of the servants led by Bedika hidden under the posture of observing etiquette, as if the whole person had found the backbone of the heart.

Lin An realized at this time that for the people of the Earl's Palace, from the moment they entered this mansion, they were already one of her responsibilities.

Yokyadan, who got off the bus with Lin An, was not surprised.

For him, who was born into a royal family, it was a matter of course for his servants to give all their loyalty to their allegiances.

They are never lacking in loyalty, and from the moment they are born, they are close to giving what they want.

Of course, the same is true for the current Lin An.

Yokyadan couldn't help but turn his head sideways and glanced at Lin An, who was staring at the queue in front of the mansion.

He didn't expect that when he saw Lin An again after only a few days, she had already put on a black robe, becoming the first female archmage in history, and probably the only one in the future, who was perfectly promoted before the age of thirty.

Even, just five years ago, she had just been promoted to the rank of full-fledged mage.

At that time, they met in the ice field, each fighting openly and secretly for their own interests, but how could he have imagined that only five years later, Lin An had been promoted to archmage.

Before the ceremony, Yokyadan thought of the shocked and discolored faces of the important ministers who had entered the main hall before the ceremony, and couldn't help but smile again.

Scold...... It was what little he had left to take pleasure from the Saxons.

Thinking of the Saxons, and of the calm and calm in which he had condescended to him and the calm and calm that belonged to the victors, and the tolerance with which he had behaved in front of the emperor, Jokiadan could not help but feel sick.

Hmph, if his father had made this picture, he would have barely been able to accept it—that hairy boy, he, he...... What a thing!

Yorkiadan would rather win Byron in the end than Saxon.

Now it turned out as if Odin was still haunted, and when he died, it was his son's turn to become a shadow over their heads.

York's 10,000 impatient entertainers at the ball to celebrate the Saxons, showed up for a moment, and then ran out by himself, and happened to meet Lin An, who had brought Michelle back to his house, and went to the Earl's Court to avoid the limelight.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time we've had a private conversation since you came back."

Sending Michelle, who was sleeping grogily, to the packed bedroom, Yorkiadan said to Lin An while watching Bedika serve Michelle to strip and change.

Lin An smiled.

This sentence has a long-term meaning, but she can fully understand Yokjardan's mood right now.

The fact that Yokjadan was so straightforward shows that he didn't believe she would be on the Saxon side.

Lin An didn't answer immediately, seeing that Bedica put down the curtain and ordered her to stay here, he waited for Michelle to wake up and went to the study with Yorkiadan.

Yokjaran did not ask about the reason for the loss of the battle for the throne.

In fact, in the end, the emperor's attitude was already obvious, and this could not be influenced by Lin An.

It's just that as a loser, it is inevitable that you can't calm down for a while.

York Yadan is the most sensitive time, if in his previous sentence, Lin An's reaction is any arrogant or wrong, York Yadan may immediately brush his sleeves away and turn against Lin An.

But Lin An's attitude was calm, as if yesterday's canonization ceremony had no effect on her.

Compared to the pity or ridicule that most people had seen at the ball, Lin An's consistent attitude made him much more pleasant.

Especially with her current status and identity, it is even more valuable, which surprises Yorkiadan, who feels the gap.

"Why did you choose to be promoted before the canonization? Don't tell me it's a coincidence. ”

With one leg on the other, Yokyadan said lazily, pretending to be nonchalant, "Oh, by the way, I haven't congratulated you personally on your promotion to Archmage, although the gift has already been delivered to your mansion." ”

"Thanks, remember to give me a gift, it looks like those guys who want to see your good show are going to be disappointed."

The corners of Yokjadan's mouth curled for a moment.

Lin An dismissed the maid and personally poured tea for Yorkiedan, which even made the latter seem a little flattered-

Although he has been talking in a familiar tone, as if the distance has not been shortened by time, Yorkiadan knows that the position of the two sides has completely changed after all.

Two years ago, he was still the most popular candidate for the crown prince, but two years later, this battle for the throne has been settled, and he has been used by his father as a whetstone for the crown prince, but Lin An has been promoted to archmage, and now it is not what it used to be.

At the ball, His Royal Highness the new crown prince and Lin An were simply two central figures that could not be ignored.

Although Lin An's welcome on the scene could not be compared to that of the Saxons, the gifts she received from her Earl's Mansion would never be inferior to that of the Great Prince's Mansion.

"Probably because it's a good way to silence everyone - you see, after becoming an archmage, everyone has learned to look at each other, and no one will run up to me without knowing how to talk about my disappearance."

Taking a sip of tea, Lin An showed a comfortable look and answered Yokyadan's previous question.

"That's all? Fear of words, it's not like you. ”

Jokjardan asked keenly, "Then can you explain why my teacher didn't appear at the ceremony, and how Michelle became your disciple?" ”

Lin An was slightly stunned and smiled.

"I think you're not the only one who has the same doubts."

"If only you understood."

The young prince leaned back, naturally revealing the nobility brought by his royal background, even if he was down, he would not change his arrogance, which looked dazzling in the eyes of many people, but Lin An did not feel disgusted.

If Yorkiadan becomes condescending because of the poor treatment, he is not Yorkiadan.

"Many things can be concealed for a while, but after all, they can't stand the eyes of everyone."

"Your return is too sudden, and it is too 'surprising', although for a while, people will be distracted by this canonization ceremony and your perfect promotion, but after coming back to their senses, it is not difficult for them to find that many changes have changed from your return-"

"You know, the secrets in the palace are difficult to keep for too long."

Yokjardan spread his hands:

"Believe me, although the canonization ceremony can temporarily cool down your affairs, you better not expect to be able to use this to completely eliminate these clues from the heads of those nobles who are good at weaving conspiracy."

This is a cautionary tale.

Lin An sensed Yokjadan's kindness.

Obviously, this is his reward for her.

"Conspiracy? There is no conspiracy. ”

Lin An smiled faintly, "Thank you for reminding me, but my purpose is just not to be too showy, if it backfires, it's not a big deal." ”

"It's this smile again, you and the old man are secretly planning something."

"It's too similar, it's too similar to the old man's smile that he can grasp everything!" ”

The corners of Lin An's mouth twitched slightly, and he gently rolled his beautiful eyes at him.

Yokyadan shrugged, drank his tea quietly, and after a while, made an excuse to leave.

Lin An didn't immediately call someone to clean up, and sat in place, and the black tea went from hot to warm.

It's too smooth, this kind of smooth, it's not the first time she's seen it in the past two days.

It was as if the world had suddenly changed its center and began to revolve around Lin An.

Even a prince as arrogant as York, who refused to bow his head even after the Saxon became the crown grandson, unconsciously became humble in front of her, suppressed his bad temper, and even showed favor to her without a trace.

This is the most immediate change that comes with that perfect promotion.

Coming out of the Amber Tower, what Lin An felt most truly for the first time was the change in people's attitudes towards her.

Master Rice and several archmages of the Arcane Order quickly changed their attitudes.

Originally, they looked at her with a little judgment, as well as a sense of reserve and distance brought about by their identity;

But after the promotion, no one mentioned another purpose for her to come to the station, just like Lin An had simply come to borrow the Amber Tower to advance-

This is not to say that they no longer care about that matter, but Lin An's promotion has completely eliminated the possible differences between them, and they have reached an agreement like never before, and there is no need for tug-of-war or negotiation.

It sounds a lot like the so-called "domineering leakage".

But it is, it is.

There is nothing more miraculous than Lin An's promotion, and the people behind Lin An have the ability to shape her miracle, which in the eyes of Master Rice and others, already represents a decisive force, which carries more weight than a qiē language.

This was expected by Lin An.

Otherwise, it is not difficult for Master Rice and the others to bow their heads on the surface, but they can't be expected to be convinced, even if Lin An has a strong backstage behind her, but the backstage is not her own strength after all.

After this incident, Master Rice and the others can at least settle down for a while.

Lin An didn't expect them to be completely obedient, but he couldn't allow her to spare a little energy while she was doing her right thing, to prevent this group of people from secretly dismantling the bad things - especially the last time Rice and Ranster blackmailed her, it must not be repeated.

The attack of Master Rice and his secret gang was an unplanned accident that almost ruined Lin An's big thing.

Since the emperor has lost control over this group of people, she has to clean it up.

Fortunately, the measures to save the crisis were swift and perfect, and by the way, they also shocked the grandparents.

Thinking that after she said to the emperor that day, "fortunately not dishonored", the emperor was helpless and slightly relieved, "The checks and balances of the Merlin royal family for thousands of years can't compare to your promotion in less than a day", Lin An smiled slightly.

She remembered the parting advice of the Guardians before leaving the Tower of Babel—

"Strength is a qiē pass!"

"When it's time to show your sense of existence, don't think of anyone, and let everyone leave the deepest imprint on you!"
