At one o'clock in the afternoon, Zilned's carriage appeared in front of the gates of Renault Manor as if it were stepping on a point.

The iron gate, which had been shattered by Lorraine a few days earlier, had not been completely repaired, the stone doorposts were missing edges and corners, and the open gate was so empty that a good manor revealed a certain kind of ruins and shadows.

Zilnede touched his chin and jumped out of the carriage, unable to understand why he had such a strange sense of disobedience.

The main source of the sense of disobedience is the invitation itself, which he is puzzled with.

In normal social behavior, it is very rare to directly invite guests to enjoy afternoon tea and taste dinner without specifying the specific time.

Tea time varies from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., with lunch and dinner.

The lack of a specified time means that the host must forcibly change his routine and finish lunch early to prevent guests from visiting at lunchtime.

Once such a coincidence, it is a great faux pas for both parties.

The guest's position is more awkward than that of the host.

If you go early, the host may still be dining, and if you go late, you will step on the morning tea meal again, and put yourself in a bad situation of "traveling thousands of miles just to eat", destroying the next social atmosphere.

And that's just one aspect.

On the other hand, the normal structure of an invitation is a one-on-one social behavior, where the host may invite multiple guests, but most of the selected escorts are familiar with the guest and host, and the priority is clear and not chaotic.

The role of the escort is to assist.

However, this was clearly not the case this time, Zilned and Miss Emily had only met for the first time the night before, and the two had only really met Siegfried the previous afternoon.

Love can transcend time, but familiarity cannot. The three people who have only known each other for less than two days are certainly not acquainted, and there is no special dependence on each other. I insisted on finding something to come out, probably because Miss Emily seemed to have a crush on Siegfried, and Siegfried seemed to have a heart for Miss Ziegfried.

Siegfried invited Miss Emily to visit the manor, most likely for a purpose.

It's just that why is Zilnede still called?

Even if Siegfried can't bear the long temptations and contacts, he does need a chaperone to shorten the process of developing love with Miss Emily. However, Zilned, who did not know either of them well and had tried to courting Miss Emily, did not look like a suitable person at all.

Unless you think about it differently......

In Siegfried's mind, Zilner is the real guest of honor today!

Zilned's previous guess was completely wrong, Miss Emily was not the guest of honor, but Ziegfried's escort for Zilned.

This arrangement is similar to the important social interactions of the great nobles, who often like to let their lovers reach out to the guests earlier, so that they can grasp their social goals one step ahead through observation and feedback, so that they can take the initiative in the following interviews.

"I've never thought about it from this point of view before, so could it be that I'm the guest of honor, and Miss Emily has already been treated as one of Siegfried's own?" Zilnede frowned and muttered to himself, "Also, if a noble and handsome person like Mr. Nallo really wants to capture Miss Emily, why do you need the help of outsiders?" ”

"Major, Major!" The adjutant abruptly woke Zilned's musings, and raised his hand to the distance.

Acharin, led Lorraine, Pierce, and Henna, rode handsome, tall horses, and unhurriedly jumped up the low knoll not far away, smiling and waving at Zilned.

"I was really taken aback when I heard the news, Mr. Captain. But fortunately, an upright and noble guardian like you will never embarrass his master, and I always believe in you, and today's gathering proves that I am not wrong about you. ”

"Mr. Nallo is wrong."

"Don't lie and be sincere. I don't just praise someone, even if it's you, it won't change my intention. Acharin took a deep breath and sat down on his horse and bowed politely. Speaking of which, I've always wanted to apologize to you. ”

"Apologize?" Zirner was confused.

"Yes, apologies, news about the imminent arrival of pirates in Leloland."

"Pirates landing in Leloland?"

Acharin turned over and dismounted, leading the horse all the way to Zilned: "When we first met yesterday, you mistook me for a landed pirate. I thought it was a lie from you, and the guards and brave sailors clashed. Even if I invited you to dinner later, and the accident did not cause the greatest tragedy, but even then, I still did not believe you. ”

"Later, we each stepped on the protocol, and after reading the information handed over by Mr. Renault, I realized that there were really pirates who wanted to do evil to the beautiful Leloland, and I blamed you wrong."

Zilnede blinked suspiciously: "You say, there are really pirates preparing to land in Leloland?" ”

"The whole Leloran has spread all over it, hasn't it? If you play stupid again, I'm going to be angry. ”

"Huh? Yes! Zilnede woke up from a dream, and finally remembered the rumors he had seen in the morning, "But that's just ...... Wait, you just said that you received the information yesterday afternoon? ”

Yacharin nodded: "Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Renault's friend told him the news, and this morning, the streets and alleys began to talk about the news, although everyone said the part about the result differently, but I can still tell the truth. ”

"Is it true that pirates are about to attack Leloland?"

"If confidentiality is your obligation, we might as well end this topic."

Zilnede nodded stunned, his mind full of thoughts.

It turns out that the information that came out of nowhere has been spreading in the town since yesterday.

Who exactly fabricated the lie? Is there really a pirate hiding off the coast of Leloland? What exactly is the purpose of the people who fabricated this news?

Zilned shook his head.

None of these questions will be answered in the short term, but that doesn't stop him from benefiting from the rumors.

The reputation has risen, the favorability has increased, and the image has been established......

Is it any wonder that at last night's banquet, even if he confronted his guide, Siegfried spared no effort to protect himself, is it a debt?

Zilned's heart was overjoyed, and he praised the merciful Lord from the bottom of his heart!

Now is a good opportunity to get off the donkey! As long as he behaves properly, the mysterious noble man in front of him will remember himself thoroughly, and willingly become a stepping stone for himself to enter high society.

Zilnede took a deep breath: "Sir......"

"Call me Ziggy. You are an upright and brave soldier, and my father taught me from a young age that you are the cornerstone of the kingdom and that you should not be arrogant in the face of you. ”

Acharin's soft voice further boosted Zilned's confidence, and he nodded excitedly, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Zig, don't worry. ”

"How can you not be concerned?" There was a faint sadness on Yacharin's face, "A wrong encounter, I misunderstood the loyal soldiers of the kingdom, and more importantly, ...... You have a crush on Ani, right? ”

"Huh?"

"Maybe it's not just about getting a good feeling. Last night I asked someone to investigate your resume, you are very good, but limited by your background and family, you have to waste the most precious years. You may have taken Ani as a hope, and although her family is not illustrious, her status as Speaker of the Leloran District Council and a member of Martinique's Development Council is enough to get the right response to your exploits. This misunderstanding...... Am I disrupting your life plans? ”

"Huh?"

"Thankfully, I wasn't too wrong." Yacharin showed a bright smile, "The biggest mistake has not yet been made, and I still have a chance to make amends." Today I am the host and the escort, and I have prepared everything for you. Please be bold and chase love! It's mine...... Friend. ”

"Uh-huh!!!"
