The fence is covered in a large creeper, most of the nearby buildings are empty, and the lush street trees leave shadows that hide the gate from view. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The entire estate looks desolate from the outside, but the interior is very different.

The gardens on both sides of the road are clearly well-maintained and well-groomed over a long period of time. Although the classical three-story building is covered with moss, it has a different kind of beauty surrounded by flowers.

Playing with the key in his hand, Ryan's face was slightly surprised.

Although this manor seems to have not been inhabited for a long time, the area is still relatively spacious, and with the fact that it has been taken care of, its value is still quite high. The syndicate is not a chamber of commerce, and giving himself such a valuable gift, such a generous gesture, Ryan can't help but be wary.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" Compared to Ryan's caution, the other person let himself go.

Seeing Tania instantly rush to the garden next to the house, Ryan's movements froze, and the idea of wanting to take a closer look suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"You like it here?" Standing at the gate, Ryan had no intention of moving forward.

"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've seen so many flowers and plants, and I'm a little excited." Thinking that Ryan was laughing at herself, Tania quickly stood up straight with her hands behind her waist, as if to say that she was an obedient and good baby.

Ryan smiled and shook his head, "No, I mean, if you like it, it's for you." ”

"What?!" Tania was shocked, and her sharp exclamation seemed to burst through her throat, "You, are you joking?" ”

"I'm not kidding." As soon as the words fell, Ryan threw the key directly at Tanya, "From now on, it's yours." ”

That's right, Ryan is serious. At the root of this, Facurrest was the leader of the bandits, and his generosity was so strange that it was hard not to be confused. And although this location is a bit remote, it still belongs to the city of Odulin, and in this city where money is paramount, it can be said that every inch of land is valuable.

However, this place is so deserted, there is no problem, who believes?

Turning around without any hesitation, Ryan was about to leave without Tania still in a daze.

Creak!

The closed door was suddenly pushed open, and a rickety old woman appeared in the sight of the two.

"Master, it's not early, why don't you stay today?"

The footsteps he had just raised hung in the air, and Ryan slowly turned his head. The visitor bowed his head deeply, and although his demeanor was respectful, his wrinkled face was indifferent and stiff like a dead man.

"Who are you?"

Hearing Ryan's question, the old woman bowed and saluted, "I'm the steward of the manor, and the handyman, and you can call me Agatha." ”

"Why are you here? The Duke asked you to come? Are you his man too? His brow tightened, and Ryan's gaze sharpened.

"Nope." Agatha shook her head slowly, even when she was questioned by Ryan, she remained indifferent, "I'm just the housekeeper of this room, I was, and I am. ”

Ryan's answer made Ryan very dissatisfied, and he always felt that something was wrong, which made him twist, but before she could continue to ask, the other party spoke again.

"If you want to know something, I'm sure you know everything, but isn't it a little inappropriate to stand here?" Turning sideways to move out of the way to the house, Agatha made a gesture toward Ryan to come in, "I've made dinner for you and Madame. ”

"I'm not a lady!" Hearing this, Tania jumped up instantly, listening to her trembling words with excitement, I am afraid that the face under the mask has already flown all over the red glow.

"Yes, miss." Bowing apologetically, Agatha's rickety body stood up with great difficulty, such a sad picture, Tania had no way to blame her for a while.

"You don't have to call me lord anymore, now this manor belongs to Tanya." After a short silence, Ryan still chose to stick to his previous decision, waved his hand, raised his foot and walked out.

"Lord Ryan, Lord Duke said that if you settle here, he will feel at ease and the cooperation will continue."

"Are you threatening me?" Agatha's words made Ryan's expression turn cold.

"No, I just don't want my lord to miss something important." Without the slightest reaction, Agatha's expression did not change from beginning to end.

With a frown, Ryan paused and asked, "What is it?" ”

"Dinner will be cold in a while, why don't you talk while eating?" Agatha made another gesture of invitation.

This time, Ryan was silent.

Mutter~

A small sound suddenly reached Ryan's ears, who was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Tania next to him with a surprised gaze. The latter almost went straight into the cracks in the ground: "That, I haven't eaten for two days......

"Are you really an elf?" Looking at Tanya, who was sitting opposite, eager to lick all the plates, Ryan pursed his lips with a helpless face.

"Hmm, it's delicious, hmm~" Because there was too much food stuffed at one time, Tania's mouth was full of oil, and while chewing hard, she threw out vague and concise words, as if she was unwilling to waste her meal time on talking.

Originally, Ryan was quite amazed when Tanya took off her mask, smooth and delicate skin, delicate proportions and face shape, and pink and delicate cherry mouth, even Ryan felt his heart beat faster.

But now......

Shaking his head, Ryan smiled shallowly.

This feeling, it also seems good?

Agatha's cooking skills are really good, compared to the star restaurants in the previous life, but it is much higher than Barnard's cook, and Ryan has to praise it from the bottom of his heart.

Ryan wasn't Tanya, though, and the delicious food didn't make him forget about business.

"Tell me, what message did the Duke ask you to convey?" Wiping the grease from the corners of his mouth with a napkin, Ryan asked without looking back.

Behind her, Agatha stood quietly. Although the education he received in his previous life made Ryan a little unbearable for the old man, he understood that as a dedicated housekeeper, letting her rest was a disapproval and distrust of her identity and ability.

"This is what the Duke asked me to hand over to you, and everything he has to say is in it." Out of nowhere, she took out a scroll of letters, and Agatha handed it to Ryan.

However, the latter did not rush to open, and glanced at the other party silently with sharp eyes: "So, what do you want to say?" ”

"I'm sorry, sir." Agatha bowed slightly, I don't know if it was an illusion, Ryan faintly saw a fleeting inexplicable color in her eyes, "There are some things that don't make sense to tell you now." ”
