The fireplace was lit with flames, and more than a dozen figures were reflected on the walls.

White blankets, footsteps coming and going from time to time, then sitting down, after a simple welcome banquet, a dozen members of the Tiratima family gathered together, maintaining aristocratic etiquette to talk about the content of Tatasia's political affairs, and there was also a recent rumor about the upper country.

"..... the slaves on the other side of the arena have lost very little recently, thanks to Xia's work, so that the cost of repurchasing them in this area is much less. ”

"However, I heard that something big happened in the upper country, the marquis should know about it, the disappearance of the prince is related to the re-selection of the emperor's heir, where should our Tiratima family stand......?

"There's really not much time for us to take our time and choose. ”

"But it takes time to stand in line, and now in addition to the Tiratima family, we are also married to the Obaidra family, and we have a close relationship, and we have to consider their position. ”

The flames burned the wood, and among the dozen or so people sitting around the fireplace, the old man at the head kept silent as he listened to the speeches of his retainers, his son, and his relatives, and the fire crackled, and the sparks jumped out of the stars, and as the rising heat flew into the chimney, he looked at the blonde woman sitting quietly beside his son.

"Kailin, which prince will you support in the Obydra family to succeed to the position of prince?"

Over there, a blonde woman named Kailin sat side-by-side in a red-cushioned chair, just pursing her lips and smiling, listening to the old man's question, and quickly organizing the words of response in her mind.

In a respectful tone: "In that case, it is not appropriate for me to answer, Marquis. However, many times, I heard my father often praise the three princes for their tenacity and decisiveness. ”

Ikamain received a tactful answer, nodded, and did not reply, but looked at Xia Yi, who was sitting alone in a chair a circle further behind.

"Natsu, what do you think?"

The old man's eyes were serious, and Alender followed, and most of the others, such as Ilot, followed suit, the retainer who had just entered the Tiratima family.

"Marquis, I'm not proficient in Tedrian and don't know exactly what you're talking about. Xia Yi sat on the chair and bowed slightly: "...... besides, I only focus on the affairs of the arena, if the marquis has someone to deal with, I will be happy to serve." ”

Seeing this, Allend laughed, turned back to the old man and said, "Father, I like this kind of subordinate. ”

"Shut up!"

The old man scolded him with a blank face, and now that the weapon master had already taken a stand, Ikamaon had no choice but to ask the others to continue the conversation.

After a while, the butler Tamu came over and whispered something in his ear, and the old man got up: "You guys have a good talk, I have something to go upstairs." ”

Immediately, the servants were served drinks and pastries, and then left the place.

Xia was not interested in these topics, and soon after the old man left, he said hello to Elend, said goodbye and left, and went back to the residence, the latter was not surprised, and even happy to let everyone leave, leaving him alone with the beautiful and sexy fiancée in front of him.

The door of the brown hall opened, Xia Yi walked out, between the red carpets of the corridor in the past, and the etiquette of bowing to greet the oncoming male and female servants, he responded with a smile, but the afterglow swept every inch of the place he passed, the angle, the shadows, the nearby cover, the distance from the people's line of sight, etc......

These were the abilities he had gained from the Hidden Blade and the Armor Hook, and the Assassin experience he had accumulated.

After returning to the residence, he took off his dense dress and threw it on the bed, where Gaga, holding a piece of pastry made of melons and fruits, was sitting on the carpet under the bed.

The sight instantly darkened, and the gown was draped over its head.

"Gobgob-

Covering the panic caused by the sight, he frantically ripped off his clothes and was about to look for the scimitar, but what he saw was that he walked into the bathroom with his tattooed back exposed, and quickly closed his mouth and hid under the bed with a snack, but his green ass was still exposed.....

In a small room.

Water was poured on his face, Xia Yi looked at the face reflected in the mirror, and in his mind, he recalled the path and door branch he had seen before one by one, deepening his memory.

"The prince of the upper kingdom is missing...... Could that be him?"

Droplets of water slid down his cheeks and down his chin, dripping onto the back of his hand, and as for the red stone crystals in his body all along, he put them down for the time being, and focused on completing his goal.

"Observe for a day, then look for an opportunity to get closer. ”

After wiping his face, Xia Yi returned to the room, on the soft bed, and quickly fell asleep with a tired body, until the next morning, the servant came to knock on the door, told Xia Yi to have breakfast, and did not respond for a long time, only to open the door only to find that the room was long gone.

Sunlight pours into the room through the painted windows.

On the other side of the mansion, on the bed with blonde hair, Kailin opened her eyes, the tiredness of the past two days of visiting Tatassia with her fiancé had not completely faded, outside the window, the light of color shone on the dresser, she got up and put on her dress, dressed up, and stepped on her high heels and went out of the room.

In the dining room, her fiancé Alende had already prepared to wait for her early, and there were also retainers sitting at another table around her, her soft eyes swept around, and many people got up to salute her.

Only, there was no such thing as the weapon master.

"That Xia doesn't seem to have come?"

Soon, the servants took breakfast and lined up to put food in front of each of the two tables, and the woman could not help but ask curiously as she sat down and began to eat her breakfast.

"I don't know, the servant said that he had disappeared in the morning. Allend shrugged his shoulders: "It's also possible that suddenly I was afraid of giving people to the retainers and slipped away overnight." ”

This kind of humor drew laughter from the people at the next table.

After breakfast, Ellend took advantage of the fact that his father had not arranged for him to do things, so he led his fiancée to take a walk in the woods not far from the official residence to eat, and in the exchange of emotions between the two, although there had been resistance before, but when he really saw this daughter from the Obaidra family, another marquis, he suddenly had a good impression.

On the other hand, it is a common phenomenon that marriages between nobles have the greatest benefits for the consolidation and domination of the territory, and in the aristocratic class.

Walking through a grove of trees, Ilott soon came to him and whispered in Elund's ear, "Sir, the Marquis has come to you in the room of the tower. ”

"The room?" Karin blinked.

Alender did not shy away: "It's a magic research room, maybe our marquis has some problems and needs the help of my son!"

"Then you go, I'll walk around, and then I'll go back to my room. ”

Receiving the beauty's reply, Ellend left with Ilott satisfied, and from time to time turned around and made some handsome or cute gestures towards Kailin, until there were many people, and then he did not restrain himself.

"What a lovely ...... Man......"

Kailin stroked her blonde hair that hung down at her shoulder, and the smile on her face grew cold as she turned and walked on, and she walked past the edge of the woods without knowing what she was thinking.

Suddenly, I heard a different voice in the air.

She hesitated for a moment, but turned in the direction of the sound, and there was a clear sound of breaking the air in the gaps of several trees in front of her.

Behind the gap, Xia Yi was in the glade, wielding a snow drinking knife, still dressed in the arena in the past, with long pants and short clothes, wearing half a cloak to cover the broken arm, striding and moving the ground, pieces of fallen leaves followed the trajectory of the blade, like butterflies flying in this sunshine, the cloak was tilted and unfurled, like a beautiful picture, but every knife that chopped, chopped, and stabbed was full of a sense of killing power.

The sunlight poured down through the gaps between the trees, and Kailin stood behind the bushes and watched quietly, under the long skirt at the waist, and the high heels she stepped on, she couldn't help but move, and the dead branches made a soft 'click' sound.

Over there, the waving blade stopped, the blade sank into the fallen leaves and dirt, and Xia Yi turned his face sideways: "Come out!"

The blonde woman hurriedly straightened her hair, lifted the overly long skirt, and stepped out of the sheltered trees.

"I didn't see you at breakfast just now, so I practiced martial arts here......

She carried a long skirt and stood opposite the figure holding a knife, short and short, and bowed to each other quite ladylikely.
