Mia dragged her cheeks on the couch, absentmindedly flipping the latest knightly novel that Jean Kakuen had just bought, and then angrily threw it on the ground.

Ah~ah, the earl's daughter cried out in annoyance with her head in her hands, her current mood is so bad that she can't do it.

Why, why.

Sidmund was still bouncing around the castle, but he was confined to the claustrophobic chamber by his father.

It's not fair! I kicked the guy, but he deserved it!

No, I have to get out.

Mia's eyes rolled as she rolled over and stepped off the couch, alertly observing everything around her.

The claustrophobic room has all the infrastructure, and it can even be called luxurious, the only difference from the usual suites is that the claustrophobic room has no windows, and even the door is designed according to the cage.

It is said that this peculiar room was built to imprison a noble captive, and she does not remember who that captive was.

Damn, if only I could shrink my bones. Mia was a little frustrated, she was just a trainee thief, and the secret method of shrinking bones needed the help of Dou Qi to achieve.

Ahh

Mia was a little desperate, although she asked Kakun to go to Adams for help, but to be honest, she didn't expect the two of them to make any waves, her father was not a vegetarian.

Alas, it's still up to me to get my ingenuity.

......

The steward buttoned the third button in front of his neckline, and he stood in front of the mirror and twisted his body in satisfaction.

The steward twisted his slightly stiff neck and soothed his neck muscles, which had become sore from copying invitations overnight.

Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, the once naughty tomboy has become a beautiful big girl, and in the blink of an eye, the eldest lady is about to be officially engaged to His Royal Highness the Prince.

Although our Earl's daughter and His Royal Highness the Prince seem to be very wrong, there are even rumors that the two have had a big fight.

However, feelings can be cultivated slowly.

At the beginning, the Earl and the Countess only came together because of a political marriage, but later the deep relationship between the two was obvious to all.

Thinking of this, the steward was also a little envious, and he was not too young, but she didn't show up for a long time.

Now that Marienburg has officially formed an alliance with the royal family, when the war is over, will the Earl of Marienburg expand and become a marquisate?

At that time, will he be able to be named a little nobleman and find the daughter of a scholar family as his wife?

Thinking like this, he picked up a wet towel and wiped it on his face twice, and then went out to report the matter to the Earl.

The heels of the leather shoes made a pleasant "click" on the marble floor, and the steward greeted the maids who hurried by.

Ever since the adults announced that they were going to hold the Miss's engagement ball, the castle suddenly became busy.

Everyone is carefully preparing for this grand event, trying to make this important moment remembered by all the big people who will be present.

As usual, the steward walked through the servants' quarters in the basement, and he made his way up the winding staircase, and just as he was about to reach the castle grounds, a thin man in a long robe approached him.

The steward remembered him, the retainer that the prince had brought with him.

He didn't know why this noble man would be interested in hanging out in the humble dwellings of the lowly servants, but it had nothing to do with him.

Prince Sidmund's accession to Marienburg seems to be a foregone conclusion, and the prince's retainer should also get a good position in Marienburg.

So he bowed respectfully to the other party, and the other party also showed an unnatural smile.

Without much thought, he continued to walk towards the Count's chamber.

Like Miss Mia's room, Lord Count's room was on the top floor of the castle, a forbidden area that most of the lower people could not set foot in.

The steward rearranged his clothes, and after making sure that there was no rudeness, he made his way to the earl's chamber.

He stood outside the room, raising his hand to knock on the door.

However, after hearing the sound coming from the room, the butler consciously took two steps back. Don't ask and listen to the master's private affairs, this is the professionalism that a good steward should have.

in the room.

Marin Doflamingo looked helplessly at his wife, who was throwing a tantrum at him.

"If you dare to let my daughter suffer a little grievance," cried the countess viciously at her husband, "I will go and slaughter the prince at once." ”

The countess was pretty and elegant, but at this time she crossed her hands on her waist, and put on a ferocious posture that did not match her appearance. If Adams had seen this, he would have been able to understand who Mia's personality had inherited.

"My dear, I swear I didn't", the Marienburg master raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender.

"Then why did you give Mia to Sidmund? he doesn't deserve it!" the countess refused, and a suspicious look appeared in her pretty eyes.

"Listen to me, my dear," the Count felt his head grow, and patiently explained to his wife, "ostensibly the royal family is trying to make friends with us. ”

"But in reality, they're forcing us to take sides. ”

"Oh?"

The Countess had apparently heard this for the first time, but she had always been convinced of her husband's judgment.

"King Lawn's blatant sending the Fourth Prince to Marienburg is actually sending a signal to the rebels that we are allied with the Crown. ”

The Count sighed, "That old fellow Laune is still so treacherous, and I saw that he was not a good thing when I first ventured with him. ”

The Countess nodded, clearly in agreement.

"As for the so-called fourth prince, as far as I can see, he is actually an outcast. ”

The Earl complained.

"Assuming that I really betrayed him regardless of the love I had back then, then even if this Sidmund was lost, it would not be a big deal to me. ”

"But if I still stand firmly with Lawn. ”

"Now the royal family needs a formal and significant commitment from me to reassure. ”

The Countess knew a little that the engagement ball was a promise made by Marienburg.

"Now the promise I have given", the Count smiled maliciously, "as for who our Mia is marrying, that's another matter!"
