Chapter 81: Madame Butterfly's Invitation

The baron sat at the table, his hands propped on his head, thinking about something. Ditohart had just told him a lot, but at the same time, more doubts had risen in his heart. Countless interpersonal relationships, gossip and secrets, form an incomparably complex web that traps Sinloth in it, unable to advance or retreat.

Fan Zhuo's background is still too weak, and it can't be compared with those wealthy families who have been in business for hundreds of years. Just want to develop, so I'm tied up. The rules formed by the empire over thousands of years have protected the baron, but also laid down layers of constraints for him. But in this era of imperial domination, the baron has no intention of overthrowing the current emperor and becoming the most exalted of allβ€”this is too difficult. Yan zhΓ²ng lacks a sense of security and urgently needs to strengthen himself, so he can only get some leftovers from the loopholes of various specifications.

"Daddy~"

Just as Sinloth was lamenting the future of Fanzo and Desmond. Two crisp calls came from behind, and before the baron could turn around, a fragrant and soft body had already slammed into his back.

The baron turned around, and sure enough, it was his two lovely daughters. The two little ones seem to be in a very good mood today, and looking at the smiling faces of their daughters, Xinluos's mood is also cheerful. The baron touched Ellie's little head, a small smile curled into his mouth.

"Hey, Ellie, what's wrong, what's so happy?"

The two little girls seemed to be eager to share their happiness with their father, and they quickly explained the afternoon's events clearly.

I made new friends. But for a girl of their age, it's really a happy thing, right?

"Hahaha, Dad, didn't you see it, Nanoka smelled the jars one by one, and there was a problem with taking most of them. By the end, the shopkeeper's face turned green with anger. He's been begging us not to talk about it, yes, Dad, the owner gave it to us. ”

Sinloth took the money bag that Ellie handed over and weighed its weight. I felt that the shopkeeper was still quite sincere, and he was barely a victim, but as soon as the baron wanted to speak, the ball of light that had nothing to do jumped out again.

[A stupid businessman who actually planned to sell inferior perfume to two lovely princesses, really didn't know whether to live or die. The tyrant may have been merciful for a moment and did not burst with a gentle starlight and beat him into an ether. But as a kind father, you must not allow this to happen in front of the mud. But looking at your daughter's innocent and happy gaze, you fall into hesitation again. 】

[1. Arian Hurd, help me with some oil on my whip, is there chili oil?] No, that's okay, thank you. 】

[2. Ellie, people do not stand without faith. This is the consequence of lying, so ah, Ellie must be a good boy in the future, and she must not lie. 】

[3. You're doing the right thing, my child. We took his money and had to keep it secret for him, and it was a deal that Ms. Woking approved of, but, my boy, I think we could get more lovely gold, just do it]

The baron touched the little head of Ellie, who was holding her head high and waiting for praise, and smiled approvingly: "Ellie did a very good job this time, the shopkeeper will definitely correct it, Ellie don't tell me about today's matter, after all, this is an agreement with others." ”

"Uh-huh!"

[Ellie's self-esteem is increased to 45, temperament is increased to 35, feelings are increased to 60, thoughtfulness is increased to 60, and morality is increased to 10.]

Oh oh oh oh oh, morality is finally not zero!

The baron burst into tears in his eyes, and the young father picked up his daughter and kissed her the cheek. Finally, I don't have to worry about Ellie becoming a lady with zero morals in the future.

"Daddy, really." The eldest daughter blushed a little at her father's sudden intimacy, but she still blushed and continued: "Dad, Shanaiduo also said that it was fun to play with us. said that if you want to go to Shinra when you have time, you must go to her house to sit. She will stay in Dublin for a while in the next two days, and if we are okay, we can also go to her father, where is the HRE, is it far away? Can Ellie go? ”

My stupid daughter, people must be just being polite. Shinra, it's not close.

But the baron naturally wouldn't tell this stupid daughter so directly, and the baron smiled at his daughter and said, "If Ellie wants to go, of course she can go anytime." It's just that I'm busy right now, and it's going to take a while, okay? ”

"Hmmm! That's it~"

Children are always hot for three minutes, and if they can't pass tonight, they will forget the agreement.

The baron touched his daughter's head, enjoying the quiet moment. And when he looked up, he happened to meet Nanorka's sneaky gaze. The second daughter hurriedly lowered her head like a frightened little rabbit.

That envious gaze made Xinluo feel slightly distressed.

The baron put down Ellie and beckoned to Nanorka, "Come, Nanorka." Ellie just seemed to be talking about that who, by the way, it's Shanaiduo, who gave you two gifts, can you show me? ”

Nanoka was obviously a little shy, but she still followed Ellie's example and sat on her father's lap. The little girl pretended to take something from her waist pocket, avoiding her father's gaze. However, her small ears that had turned into a garnet-colored color had completely exposed her mood.

Speaking of which, Nanoka is much more than Ellie**. It's not as clingy as Ellie, and I don't know if it's good or bad. However, Nanoka is shy, and she is really cute.

Soon, a small white box and a small golden bead fell into the hands of Sinloth. The baron opened the white box, which contained only three donuts that were emitting a seductive sweet scent. And when he held the golden bead, even a rookie mage could easily feel the majestic magic hidden under the calm surface of the golden bead. The baron looked at these two strange things and frowned.

[Strange sweets: The sweets carefully prepared by the demon princess Isabelle in order to satisfy the demon king of the sweet tooth control. Because of its excellent taste, it is favored by the ladies of the demon clan. Even under the operation of the princess, a brand was gradually formed, which was very popular in the territory of the demon clan. It's just that for some reason, only the princess herself can make the best quality bizarre sweets. Anyone else who imitates it will always make people who have eaten the original feel as if something is missing. It is also rumored that the strange sweets have great powers, and can even increase the magic power of the demons. It's just that this has never been confirmed - but this thing has recently started to appear in the upper echelons of the human race, and I don't know where it came from. 】

[Electric beads: A strange item found on the body of a long-dead yellow fat rat by the eldest lady of the Salian family, Shanaiduo. She could feel the specialness of the bead, but after much trying, the bead still did not show the slightest abnormality. In desperation, this strange gold bead was used as an ornament by Shanaiduo and brought on his body. 】

"Now, I said 54213, if you have something to say in the future, you can do it. I'm not as idle as you, and I'm so tired of guessing riddles. ”

Cynroth felt that if he kept playing guessing games with the idle panicked ball of light in the future, he would grow old sooner or later.

Why is it a yellow fat mouse, why do you have to emphasize this, isn't it just a dead mouse! Why did Isabel go to the Demon Realm to sell sweets, isn't this guy a princess! Hey, Demon King, take care of your woman, you wayward sweets!

A series of complaints stuck in the baron's mouth, making him almost crazy. Nanoka looked at her father's flushed face and asked with concern, "Dad, what's wrong with you, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

"No, Nanoka, put this box of sweets here with me, children eat more sweets are not good for their teeth. Ellie, even if you puff out your face, I won't back down, it's a matter of principle! The brutal father suppressed the eldest daughter and snatched her doughnut away, then continued to the second daughter: "Nanoka, if you have this gold bead, you can study it, maybe you will find it, and next time, don't accept other people's things casually, this is not good." ”

"Well, Daddy, I know. It's just that this time Shanaiduo has to give it to me and my sister, so"

Seeing that Nanoka seemed to be a little aggrieved, the baron touched her head again comfortingly, causing the little girl to blush for a while. It's just two girls' playthings, and if you accept it, you will accept it, and it's not a big deal. The baron simply put himself in the role of a father and began to habitually preach.

Just listening to the descriptions of the two daughters, Sinlos can roughly tell. The girl named Shanaiduo should be from a famous family. And judging from the image of her white dress covering her face, it may even be from a central province like Byzantium or HRE - it is basically impossible for a demon to be a demon, a demon does not worship white, and few nobles will dress like this.

Daughters always have to grow up, and sooner or later he will leave this world. Thinking about it this way, it seems like a good idea to let your daughters start building their own networks now? HRE is a bit far away, and this one is a little troublesome. However, there is always nothing wrong with multiple aristocratic friends.

Xinluo pondered silently in his heart, and asked as if unintentionally, "By the way, Nanoka, that Miss Shanaiduo, did you say what her surname is?" ”

Nanoka tilted her head, tried to remember, and eventually, shook her big red ponytail.

"I know, I know!" Ellie raised her fleshy paws and brushed up a sense of existence in front of her father.

"My Ellie is really amazing, so Ellie, what is Shanaiduo's surname?"

Ellie straightened her flat chest and smiled, "Nanoka is a stupid person, I can't remember this." That servant, who had called Miss Shanaidosarien! ”

Salian? It seems that it is indeed a wealthy family on the side of the HRE, but the specific situation is not too clear. If it was Salian, it would be nice to manage the friendship a little.

Thinking of this, Xinluo suddenly felt that the nobles were so sad, and even friendship was actually managed.

"Ellie, that Miss Shanaido, did you say where she lives now?"

According to the habit of the aristocracy, since she was deliberately choosing a gift to come to the door, the owner would always keep her at home for a few days - Madame Butterfly was somewhat wonderful, but if it was for the deceased husband, no one could say much about her.

"Hmm" Ellie bit her fingers, and after a long time, she said uncertainly: "It seems that Count Rosa invited us to come to Dad, who is that Count Rosa?" ”

Stupid Ellie, Countess Rosa, is Madame Butterfly, where you only went yesterday.

The baron's mind was racing, and in an instant he had thought of many things, but just as he was about to say something. There were several knocks at the door, and Arian Hurd's voice rang out at the door: "Excuse me, my lord, there is a messenger at the door, saying that Madame Butterfly wants to invite you to the ball she has to hold to welcome her niece to-morrow evening." ”

"Huh?"
