Looking at Lulu's figure walking to the kitchen, Arthur was lying on the sofa with his eyes half-squinted, looking at the chandelier on the ceiling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a while, Luluwei came over with food, Arthur looked at the food on the table, and smiled: "Thank you, Luluwei"
"No thanks, Miss, I just hope this is only this time," Lulu said with a slight face.
Arthur made a gesture that was okay and bowed his head to eat dinner.
After finishing dinner, Arthur chatted with Lulu for a while, and felt sleepy for a while, so he planned to go back to his room to sleep.
With a slight goodnight to Lulu, Arthur returned to his room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, Arthur also got up early, washed up, and when he came to the restaurant, he saw Stara and Mei Ling, Arthur sat down in a seat, and asked, "Father, how was yesterday's banquet?"
"It's boring," Starr yawned: "Most people are slapping a few princes and princesses, and it's annoying to listen to"
Arthur laughed, "Then what are you and your mother doing at the banquet?"
Stara took a bite of bread: "Chat with some old friends, then have a bite to eat, and send over a close prince, princess, and some nobles, that's it"
Mei Ling glanced at Star, who had finished telling what the two of them were doing at the banquet with a flat expression, and said to Arthur, "Arthur, come with me to visit your grandfather Keith today."
"Yes, Mother, but listen to what you say, isn't Father going?" Arthur asked again, nodding his head.
"I'm going to have a drink with some of my former friends today," Starr laughs.
"Star, remember to drink less" Mei Ling glanced at Star, "If I smell alcohol on you when you come back, what will I do, you know"
Listening to Mei Ling's warning to himself, especially when he heard the last sentence you know, Star's whole body trembled, he patted his chest and promised: "I will definitely drink less, you can rest assured, madam"
"I hope you do what you say" Mei Ling nodded, although she didn't know if Starr would heed her warning in the future, but now Star's attitude made Mei Ling very satisfied.
"Arthur, we're going to visit at three o'clock in the afternoon," Mei Ling said the time.
"Got it," Arthur understood.
After breakfast, Arthur left the villa, first practiced martial arts for a while, and after practicing martial arts, he ran into Frans, who seemed to be walking.
"Good morning, employer," Frans greeted with a smile.
"Good morning, Frans" Arthur said, "how about a walk with me"
Frans smiled and nodded: "Okay, employer"
The two left the villa, and this time Arthur didn't think about where to go, just walked around, and saw wherever he went.
Walking like this, the two came to a crowded street, walking in the crowd, Arthur walked and walked. Arthur only felt that she had hit something, she took a step back, and when she looked down, she saw a little boy about eleven or twelve, who was dressed very old, sitting on the ground.
"I'm sorry I accidentally bumped into you" The little boy quickly stood up after being knocked down, bowing his head and apologizing to Arthur repeatedly.
"It's okay" Arthur shook his head and smiled: "It's me who should say I'm sorry, I hit you, you're okay." ”
The little boy froze when he heard Arthur's apology, as if he couldn't imagine that this richly dressed woman, who was not a nobleman but also a rich lady, would apologize to herself, a commoner, and shook his head: "I'm fine"
"Is it?" Arthur saw that there was no one like his father and mother beside the little boy, and asked, "Why didn't you see your parents, did you get lost with your parents?"
"No," the little boy shook his head, "I live around here, and I often come here alone." “
"Your parents are really relieved" Arthur smiled: "You must know that there are many strangers here, and they are not afraid of you being abducted by anyone."
The little boy did not speak, and did not seem to know how to answer.
Arthur patted the little boy's head lightly: "Then goodbye"
"Hmm," the little boy nodded slightly.
When Arthur was more than ten meters away from the little boy, the little boy who was standing there raised his head to look at Arthur, and then released his left hand, which had been clenching, revealing a gold coin inside.
Seeing this gold coin, even if it was a large amount of money for the little boy, the little boy was not as happy as he was when he stole the money before, he pursed his lips, remembered Arthur's previous actions, and usurped his left hand again.
After a while, Arthur reached into his right pocket and took out four gold coins, which had been five gold coins in it, but now one was missing.
"Employer, you're such a bad guy," Frans said with a smile as he watched the little boy behind him.
"It's just a gold coin" Arthur shook his head, as early as when Arthur bumped into the little boy, she had noticed the little boy's small movements, but although she noticed it, Arthur didn't stop it, after all, he came out to steal money at such a young age, it is estimated that there is something unspeakable, just take it as a good deed.
"Oh, employer, that little boy seems to have an accident," said Frans as Arthur was about to continue walking.
"What's wrong," Arthur asked, pausing to walk.
"The gold he stole went to a small port, and then the gold was seen by two thugs, and the two thugs came to snatch his gold coins, and the little boy refused to give them, and now he is being beaten," Frans recounted what he saw.
Arthur thought for a moment and turned around: "Let's go and see"
"Employer, do you want to help him" Frans asked, "You must know that he is a thief who stole your money from your employer, you don't care, and now he is only retribution"
"Does the devil also believe in retribution" Arthur shrugged: "Things are one yard to one yard, stealing money is stealing money, helping is helping"
Frans smiled: "After all, it's not the employer, you're just a bad person."
Arthur glanced sideways at Frans who was smiling, and the two came to the side of the little boy who was beaten, looking at the little boy who was beaten by the two thugs, Arthur stretched out his hand, and three holy light bullets hit the two thugs, beating the two thugs to the ground, Arthur looked at the two men and said, "Get out"
And the two thugs who were beaten down by Arthur looked at Arthur who released the holy light, and knew that they couldn't afford to provoke him, so they hurriedly ran away.
Sighing, Arthur looked down at the little boy staring at him, and at this time, she also didn't know what to say.
The little boy looked at Arthur silently, suddenly stood up, walked up to Arthur, let go of his left hand, revealed the gold coin, and whispered: "Pay you back, this is the gold coin I stole from you, if you want to hit me, hit me"
Arthur took the gold coin, looked at the little boy who was about to be beaten, and wanted to laugh a little, she took the little boy's left hand, which was originally hanging down, she patted his head, and said with a smile: "This is the punishment for you for stealing my money" (to be continued. )
