In the carriage out of the city, Charles looked at the various girls passing by outside the car, and then at Artoria in a black suit, and inevitably felt a little regretful in his heart.

Charles had previously designed several more eye-catching professional outfits for Artoria's appearance today, and then asked her to customize them, but she didn't expect that she ended up having the tailor make a full black suit herself.

The result was that the aura of the two of them in black suits was too strong when they stood together, and the staff of the Chamber of Commerce was a little afraid.

At this time, Charles noticed that Artoria's expression was not quite right, so he asked, "What's wrong, something on your mind?"

Artoria said, "It's nothing, just news of an old friend." ”

Seeing Charles's gossip on his face, she said: "The Grand Duke of the Duchy of Milan was my friend back then, and his swordsmanship was very strong, so I might not be able to win against him." ”

"When I was surrounded by Philip and Catherine, he led a group to reinforce me, but I was ambushed by Catherine's reinforcements, and many of his men were captured, and he broke out after being wounded himself. ”

"Later, he regretted that he couldn't get me back. ”

At this time, Charles's eyes lit up with gossip, and he said excitedly: "I read this story in the book, and it is said that the Duke of Nodal at that time liked you, so he tried his best to save you!"

"Upon learning of your disappearance from captivity, he sadly lit a bonfire and burned the love letter that was meant to be given to you!"

Artoria shook her head and said, "When I asked him to borrow a lot of money and military rations, what he burned was the IOU I wrote to him. ”

Charles blinked, is this fairy tale a lie?

What the book says about the story of love when fighting side by side, in fact, the creditor learned that the debtor was surrounded, and was afraid that the debtor would die and no one would pay back, so he led the troops to rescue him, but was ambushed, and finally the creditor learned that the debtor was finished, and the debt was gone, so he could only burn all the IOUs with tears.

Artoria has been in the country for so many years, and the fact that the Nodal family has not gone to her to ask for debts shows that those IOUs have been burned thoroughly.

And Artoria didn't take the initiative to pay back the money, which means that the money is too big, and she can't come up with so much money now.

Charles pinched his brow and asked, "How much do you owe him?"

Artoria looked out of the car and did not answer, and after a long moment, she said, "So I owe the Nodal family a great favor. ”

Charles said "hehe" twice and said, "Why don't I help you pay back this money, how about you owe me a favor?"

Artoria looked at Charles coldly, her instincts telling her that there was a conspiracy in this thing.

Charles smiled silently, he couldn't say that he was going to use this favor to blackmail Artoria into doing something he liked.

For example, give me a few more "meows" and the like.

The carriage passed through the gates of the city of Milan, where there was no tax card and where the entry tax did not exist.

Not long after leaving the south gate, a large field of grapes appeared outside the car window, and in the distance you could see a villa with a bright red roof in the middle of the vineyard.

The carriage walked for more than two hours, and then entered a manor surrounded by a ring of tall pine trees.

This manor does not grow cash crops such as grapes and apples, or grow grass and raise rabbits for hunting and playing, but has opened up a field of flowers and planted all kinds of flowers.

The carriage walked slowly through the manor, making no sound along the way.

The pine wall outside the manor blocks the wind, making it difficult for the surrounding flowers to disperse, and the smoke is a bit of a headache.

In the center of the manor is a two-story villa with white walls and black tiles, with a garden outside and a pond the size of two or three basketball courts behind the house, in which lotus flowers are blooming.

After getting out of the carriage, Mei Aru was worried that Old Lady Rosanna was about to turn 100 years old, and she was so old that she couldn't see that she was a fake, and hoped that her old man had always let herself mess around as Meaza said.

Old Madame Rozanna's butler took them to the living room, and then said, "Little master, the old lady is taking a lunch break, please wait for a while." ”

Mei Aru nodded and said that it was okay, although he was considered to have returned to his own home, but he had only come back after running away from home for so many years, and he would not dare to act rashly before being scolded by the old lady.

At this time, Meacha had an idea, handed a letter to the butler, and said, "Be sure that the old lady wakes up and sees the letter." ”

At this time, he saw that the housekeeper was holding back a smile, and immediately thought that the housekeeper felt that he was afraid of being scolded miserably, so he first handed over a letter to his great-grandmother to say good things to the old man.

Mei Aru didn't care about the other party's misunderstanding, and asked her about the old lady's recent physical condition after the housekeeper returned.

The housekeeper said that the old lady was in good health, and yesterday she went to the neighbor's house as a guest, and then she also hit two rabbits.

Mei Aru breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the old lady is in good health, and she should not be angry with high blood pressure, cerebral hemorrhage, etc.

It is estimated that it is almost time for the old lady to wake up, and the housekeeper has to make preparations, and only Mearu and Artoria are left in the living room.

Maya turned around and whispered to Artoria, who was standing behind her, "What are you doing standing, come and sit, I didn't want you to be my guard today." ”

Artoria shook her head and said in a low voice: "It is rumored that Old Lady Rosanna is very strong, although no one has seen her make a move, but the people who have secretly dealt with her for decades are gone. ”

"In case old lady Rosanna beats you up as a real Meacha, I can stay away from you as soon as possible. ”

The beginning was fine, but when Artoria said the end, Mei Aru became embarrassed, and felt that the character of the Dull King was different from when they first met.

At this time, several maids in the villa were walking quickly, and it was obvious that the old lady had gotten up.

Not long after, before the person arrived, the sound arrived, and a voice full of joy, but a little funny, reached the living room.

"My little Meacha darling is back?"

Old Madame Rosanna entered the drawing-room, and Mearu immediately got up from the couch, and he saw an old woman with a small face, dressed in a dark green silk robe, with a wrinkled face, and white hair, looking at Artoria with a blank expression.

Before she could figure out what was going on, she noticed two lines of tears flowing from the brown eyes of old lady Rozanne, and her trembling hands covered her mouth, and the expression on her face changed from dazed to surprised and finally to ecstasy.

Artoria herself was confused, and couldn't understand why Old Madame Rosanna was so excited when she saw her.

I heard the old lady Rozana choke up and said to Artoria, "Madam, are you still alive?"
