The next day, the crisp morning light of the winter day dispelled the chill of the north wind, and the early risers began their day's work, and the pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and from time to time horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods could be seen coming in and out of the city gates.

As the capital of the empire, the imperial capital was not only a political center, but also a commercial center, and occupied an important position in the commercial context of the entire empire.

With such a peaceful city – at least on the surface, it's hard to imagine that the country is on the brink of destruction.

However, the reality is often more cruel than imagined, the darkness is still growing, the evil is still spreading, and the people's discontent is still accumulating until it erupts.

This is the state of the empire now, and once a nationwide war is ignited, everything will be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Javier's mansion.

In the bedroom, Javier opened his eyes, and it took three seconds for his brain to wake up, remembering that he had one more important thing to do today, so he lifted the quilt and got out of bed to change clothes.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Javier said.

The door opened, and Javier was confronted by three girls about fifteen or sixteen years old.

They wore black and white maid costumes, and their lower bodies were changed from long pants to knee-length skirts, plus white stockings, reflecting the cuteness and vitality of young girls.

The three girls had been working here for a long time, and Havel naturally knew them, and even remembered their names clearly.

The lively and cheerful Al with long pink hair, Farr, the somewhat wild Orion girl, and the introverted and mouthless Luna.

"What's the matter?" Javier asked faintly.

“…… That's right, the old butler said that Lord Javier was going on a date today, and he should dress more modestly, so let's bring the prepared clothes over. ”

It was Al who replied, and she glanced at Luna beside her, and the girl handed her squarely folded clothes.

Fabio?

Javier's expression moved slightly, recalling the old housekeeper's relieved look when he heard that he was going on a date tomorrow last night, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

I have been focusing on the revival of the empire all these years, and I don't care about the affairs of men and women at all, although the people below don't say it, they must be quite concerned about this issue.

Also, before he knew it, he had reached this age, and the question of the heir should have been on the agenda a long time ago, which was his obligation as the current head of Salmondo's family, and he could not escape it.

Taking the dress from Luna's hand and looking it up and down, Javier's brow twitched twice.

This is a leather coat with gold trim on a black background, with deep dark lines all over it, which looks quite mysterious, and there is a row of gold locks inlaid in the center of the coat, which adds a bit of luxury.

There is no problem with the clothes, at first glance you know that they are custom-made by first-class tailors at a large price, but for the simple and accustomed Javier, this kind of high-class clothing is a little too ostentatious and not his style.

"It's just a date, just wear my usual military uniform, you don't need to be so gorgeous, and it's not to attend some aristocratic dinner."

Shaking her head, she handed the coat back to Al, intending to let her take it to the inventory and put it in storage, but the girl did not reach out to take it, but said in a persistent tone, "I think Lord Javier should try it, it will definitely fit perfectly!" ”

"No, I mean ......"

"Be sure to try it on!"

A rare strong attitude, Al at this moment is unusual, those big watery eyes seem to be burning with raging flames, and the persistent appearance actually exudes an aura that cannot be underestimated, which makes Javier slightly stunned.

It's just a matter of one piece of clothing...... Is this kid so serious?

Javier was a little speechless, and vaguely remembered that he had heard Al say that he wanted to become an excellent tailor and then open his own clothing store in the imperial capital, and he understood a little bit in his heart.

Could it be that this is the soul of the legendary professional?

“…… Well, then I'll try. ”

I don't know if he was moved by Al's insistence, or if he was purely intimidated by this inexplicable momentum, in short, Javier nodded.

……

Imperial Capital Commercial Street.

Coming all the way from home, Javier felt himself surrounded by a myriad of piercing eyes, most of which were young girls, and the burning meaning in those eyes was a little overwhelming even for the general, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes—and he went out in that gorgeous coat anyway.

Originally, I didn't mean this, but I was dizzy by the three girls' twitter comments, and I was accidentally led away by the nose.

When I came to my senses, I was already on the street......

- Terrible, none of these women are simple goods!

Javier pondered these questions as he walked, feeling that he had a deeper understanding of women, and before he knew it, he had reached the clock tower of his destination.

"It's too slow! Actually letting his girlfriend wait for a long time, this is not what a qualified lover should do! ”

The woman with a strong sense of presence stood there with a big grin, and the passers-by around consciously bypassed her three meters away, and no one dared to approach half a minute.

She clasped her hands to her chest, and her face showed obvious impatience, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

And looking at Estes in front of him, a hint of surprise appeared in Javier's eyes.

She looks very different today, she has taken off the common black and white military uniform, put on a dark purple slip dress, the fair skin on her chest reveals a healthy color, and with a pair of crystal high heels, she looks even taller and more beautiful, just like the ancient goddess who came out of mythology, every move is so moving.

Hey, it turns out that when men and women are dating, is it common to change clothes?

Turning his gaze away from Estes, this inconsequential thought suddenly flashed through Javier's mind.

It's a shame to say that when it comes to leading troops to fight, he will not be false at all, but when it comes to dating a girl or something, he is really the first time in his life that he is an inexperienced novice.

Javier looked up at the clock above the tower, checked the hand scale, and said, "It's nearly twenty minutes before the appointed time, and I don't think I'm late." ”

"If I came later than the woman on the date, I was late, but I was standing here an hour ago and waiting!"

"That's really unreasonable......

Javier smiled bitterly, then suddenly reacted, his eyes widened slightly: "An hour ago...... Didn't you say a good meeting at nine in the morning? Why do you want to come so early? ”

"The book says that coming early will make your partner feel valued, and then it will become dead from then on, so I gave it a try." Estes leaned over with a smile, "How, has you changed your opinion of me a lot and become obsessed with me?" ”

He's really motivated, this guy......

"No, all I feel is the heavy pressure, and besides, I should throw away that inexplicable book." Javier said with a blank face.

"Cut."

Seeing that this trick was ineffective, Estes pursed his lips, but he was not discouraged, but showed his dress to Javier generously, and the beautiful posture of the skirt was enough to make any man's heart go into arrest.

"How?"

"Perfect for you."

This compliment was heartfelt, and Estes was so useful that his eyes narrowed slightly.

"You're also very good, I thought you would come out in a military uniform, but I didn't expect you to be quite attentive."

"Uh......"

Hearing this, Xavier was immediately a little embarrassed, but anyway, he was paralyzed, and he didn't show any abnormalities on his face.

Actually, that's what I planned to do in the first place......

I feel that it is better not to say this.
