For more than a month, Moriarty managed some of the day-to-day affairs of the Ivy Manor and the Ensberg family on his own.

The aftermath of the Kleptist Invasion died down as the summer wore on, and it began to be forgotten.

To Viscount Salk's surprise, Viscount Maclelen, who had missed the drama of suppressing bandits, paid a rare visit to his old rival afterwards, and actively took over the task of chasing down the female thief who had slipped through the net. It's a pity that no matter how Viscount Maclelan cast a net after that, he never caught a single corner of the girl's robe. Helpless, the viscount, who felt that he had lost face, had to take out a large sum of gold coins and offer a reward for the capture of the fugitives.

As for Sir Royanta, who hurriedly returned to the family to recuperate, there was no news afterwards, as if he had disappeared. Lord Roata, who rushed back from the royal capital of Standville to deal with the aftermath, is said to have gone straight to Windsor Castle in a fit of rage and demanded the execution of all the captured thieves. However, Viscount Salk has not given any clear response to this. It was only replied to Lord Royanta that he would have to wait until he consulted with the other nobles in the county before deciding on the final course of action. After all, this victory was a victory for the entire Kent County coalition. And only the Luo Yanta family, as the rescued, had little say after the war.

For all of this, Moriarty has heard the math and ignored it. Whether it was the open and secret rivalry between the two viscounts, or the various gossip circulating among the nobles, it could not arouse the slightest interest in them.

According to his established policy, Moriarty's daily life continued to be methodical in the triangle of physical training, self-study of magic, and the handling of family affairs.

The only thing that worries Moriarty is that the Baron has been staying in Ruhr County and has not returned, which is really a bit weird. However, Hugo sent messengers to Ruhr several times, and the messengers who returned afterwards claimed that the Baron was fine and that nothing was unusual. As for the reason for the baron's delay, it is completely impossible to say.

"Well, Father can come back whenever he wants. Around, there are no major events in the family recently, and it is rare for my father to have a long vacation. Unable to get any definite information, Moriarty decided not to dwell too much on the matter.

"Yes, young master." Seeing that Moriarty was unwilling to take care of it, Hugo, as a housekeeper, naturally would not take it lightly.

"Hugo, is everything arranged in the manor? Miss Salk should be here tomorrow. "With the arrival of autumn, the Ivy Estate also enters the most beautiful time of the year.

In keeping of his promise, Moriarty sent an official invitation to Windsor Castle a week ago, which was immediately confirmed by Salk Pearl.

"Everything is ready." The old butler, who had a lot of experience, smiled slightly, and seemed to be very proud that his young master could invite the young lady of the Salk family.

"That'll be fine." Moriarty nodded. He could read something behind Hugo's smile, but he didn't want to explain it too much. Anyway, the county has begun to semi-openly circulate rumors about how the young master of the Ensberg family and the young lady of the Salk family are, and what is even more peculiar is that Viscount Salk did not jump out angrily to refute the rumors, so Moriarty, as the person concerned, did not bother to pay attention to it. Anyway, in the end, he will never be the one who suffers.

On the afternoon of the second day, under the bright sun, a delicate carriage with the coat of arms of the Salk family was pulled by a majestic white Hanover horse and slowly drove into the gates of the Ivy Manor. To Moriarty's surprise, in addition to a maid, two nannies, and a team of heavily armed guards, Charlie, the Knight of the Round Table, accompanied the girl directly to Ensberg's territory as the captain of the guard. …,

"A heartfelt welcome, beautiful pearl of Salk. Your arrival has eclipsed the autumn fragrance in the garden. In accordance with aristocratic etiquette, Moriarty personally stepped forward to open the door for Matiel, welcomed her out of the car, and then took her delicate left hand, and kissed her lightly on the back of her hand through a delicate white lace glove.

"Hehe, I'm also very happy to be a guest at 'Ivy'. Moriarty, your compliments are always so pleasant. Listening to Moriarty's generous praise, Matiel laughed softly, looking very happy: "It's so beautiful here, it's even more beautiful than the legend." ”

Mathil happily looked around the huge lawn and reveled in the beauty.

"Welcome, Your Excellency Charlie." Greeting Matiel, Moriarty immediately looked solemn, turned around and saluted the high-ranking knight, his language concise and powerful.

As a Knight of the Round Table, Charlie truly deserves the word Your Excellency. Even in the royal capital of Standville, the Knights of the Round Table were courteous enough to enter and leave the royal court. Not to mention that the Spear of Dawn has a good chance of becoming the Templar.

"Welcome, sir." On the side, Hamilton, who came quickly after hearing the news, knelt down directly on one knee and gave a standard knightly salute to the other party.

"It's also my pleasure." Charlie nodded at Moriati, then put his arm on Hamilton's shoulder and pressed it gently.

"Martier, let's go inside. After a long journey, you must be a little tired. It's better to take a break first. Sensing Charlie's kindness, Moriarty smiled slightly, and then returned to Martiel's side and said.

"Okay. Uncle Charlie, come along, I've heard that the 'Ivy' afternoon tea is very famous. Matiel turned around and greeted the Knights of the Round Table with great understanding, and then walked up the white stone steps of the main building led by Hugo.

"Okay." Although it was obvious that Mr. Charlie was extremely uninterested in afternoon tea, he still smiled dotingly and nodded.

So, with Moriarty and Martiel, Hamilton and Charlie behind, they slowly walked into the main building.

In the living room, sumptuous refreshments have already been prepared. At the same time, the flowers carefully picked by Tuan Tuan are cleverly embellished in all corners of the living room, which is correspondingly interesting and complementary to the original exquisite oil paintings and sculptures in the hall.

"Wow, Uncle Charlie, look, it's Rembrandt's Black Tulip! Ah, this is Zuo Xiao's "Kraken"... Oh my God, what I saw, it turned out to be the Mauryansky's masterpiece of sculpture "Hymn of Adivoro". As soon as she entered the living room, Martiel was struck by the rich collection of the Ensberg family, and she watched from place to place, occasionally exclaiming in admiration.

"Hehe, Matiel, please sit down first, we have time." Moriarty smiled at the girl's excited appearance, but was not surprised.

"Okay, okay." Mathil smiled cutely at Moriarty, then sat down on a couch beside her.

"Young Master, do you want tea?" On the side, the old butler asked softly.

"Okay, serve me and Miss Salk rose tea, Lord Charlie and Hamilton... On the Lester black tea, the taste should be heavier. Moriati thought for a moment and said.

"Yes."

Immediately, Hugo whispered a few words to the servants who were already waiting beside him, and in a short time a maid carefully held the tea tray and delivered the four cups of afternoon tea to the four of them.

"Matiel, please." Moriarty said with a smile.

"Well... The taste of rose tea is so unique, and when you sip it, it feels like a flower blooming on the tip of your tongue. Ah, that's wonderful. Just a small puff slightly, Salk Mingzhu's thin eyebrows immediately stretched, and a pair of wonderful eyes rippled like water: "Tell me, Moriarty, how did this come about?" ”…,

"It's as simple as brewing fresh rose petals in the right spring water." Moriarty replied with a faint smile.

"But no, Windsor Castle also has rose tea, but it's not the same taste." Mathil looked at Moriarty suspiciously, then pursed her pink lips and pretended to be angry, "Do you want to keep it a secret from me, Sir Ensberg?" ”

"Haha, dear Martier, I didn't lie to you." Looking at the beautiful girl's coquettish appearance, Moriarty hurriedly added: "It's just that the rose petals used here can't be found outside. ”

"Oh? What kind of rose, so precious? Hearing this, Matiel's eyes immediately widened with curiosity.

"It's a magic rose." Moriarty said

"Magic Rose? It's the same as the flower you gave me last time? Martil asked.

"Not exactly." Moriarty shook his head, picked up his teacup, and took a sip before continuing, "As you know, my mother was a mage. During her lifetime, she had carved out a small magical garden in the manor, in which she planted some strange flowers and plants. And the rose petals used here are taken from the magic flower garden, and the tea brewed is naturally different from ordinary flower tea. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Madame Ensberg's magical garden." Salk Pearl nodded in realization, then thought for a moment, and carefully asked Moriarty: "Although I know that this request may be a bit excessive, but Moriarty, I still can't help but want to see that magical flower garden." Is this okay? With that, Martiel's watery eyes lowered slightly, and she put her hands together on her chest, like a kitten wishing to ask for a ball of yarn.

"Well... All right. Moriarty smiled secretly and nodded in agreement.

"Ah, that's great!" Hearing that her request would be fulfilled, the girl jumped up from the sofa with joy, and almost danced on the carpet in the drawing-room.

"Alright, Uncle Charlie, you can have a good cup of tea and snacks here, and I'll visit the flower garden first." Immediately, Martiel's grabbed Moriarty's hand and dragged her up from the couch as well, giggling at the Knight of the Round Table.

"Okay, no problem. I love the tea here. Charlie also seemed to be unexpectedly satisfied with the heavy taste of Lester black tea, and was ready to continue the cup.

"Lewis, Your Excellency Charlie has bothered you to entertain you." Moriarty said to Hamilton on the other side.

"Yes, Sir." Hamilton smiled.

"Alright, Moriarty, let's go, or it'll get dark."

At Martiel's urging, Moriarty smiled apologetically, and then left the living room with the maiden and walked deeper into the manor behind the main building.

Charlie and Hamilton were left sitting in place, looking at each other and smiling

It's strange that a whole day has passed, and the new book index of "Heroes" has not changed.

Could it be that everyone is not satisfied with these two new chapters? Or is it because the book is too bad?

Hey, I'm feeling a little depressed.

Today's second update.
