The manor is divided into two by living quarters. The part to the south near the gate of the estate is a farmstead, and the part to the north near the rocky mountain is a pasture. The living quarters are an east-west strip of buildings that runs across the estate. From east to west, there are hot spring baths, dormitories, dining halls, storerooms, and churches. Across the dairy farm and an artificial ditch that diverted water from the mountain, Julian saw the smoke rising from the kitchen chimney.

It seems that he has been wandering around all morning, and even when it is lunchtime, he doesn't even know it. Julian thought helplessly. After passing through the dairy farm and the artificial ditch, Julian did not go directly to the canteen, but made a detour in the direction of the church.

Since the death of the old housekeeper, the manor has not been occupied by men for 12 years, and naturally there are no houses for men in the collective dormitory. Julian and the three had to live in the church of the manor. The wooden church was a little sparse, but it was not small, and behind the spacious chapel there were three rooms that had been used to store miscellaneous items, and after the clutter was cleared, it was just right for three men to live in one room.

Now Julian was dressed in casual clothes, and if there was something important for Empress Ipeia to announce, as Nanokhai had said, Julian thought it would be better to dress more formally. So he had to go back to his room and change his clothes.

As Julian was about to push the door in, someone suddenly called out to him from behind: "Good morning, Monsieur Rousseau." ”

"Good morning. Hey, riverside, can you walk?" Julian turned to see a young man about his age standing around the corner of the hallway. The young man was the same seriously injured person Julian had rescued from the river a week earlier: the "Riverman" - who did not want to reveal his true identity, as he called himself.

Julian didn't think much about it when he rescued him that day, he saw the shadow of his past purely in this person's eyes, and for Julian, who was full of guilt, every time he saved someone, he felt that he was atoning for his sins. However, as time went on, there was so much mystery about the riverside that his eyes were unsettling that Julian couldn't help but wonder if he was right to save him in the first place.

"My injuries are fine. Multi-point activity can help with recovery. The riverside man said with confidence.

But his appearance is really not convincing. I saw that the man by the river was covered with bandages, like a mummy, with a thick plaster on his right foot caught by a beast weapon, and two crutches made of tree branches under his armpits, leaning against the wall with difficulty. The riverside man who had just arrived at the manor was seriously injured, and although Julian used a combination of light magic and rare herbs from the villa to treat him, if he hadn't soaked in the healing hot spring for two hours a day, he was afraid that the riverside man would not have woken up yet. However, he did not seem to worry about his injuries, and even though he had difficulty moving, he insisted on carrying the heavy longbow on his back.

Speaking of the longbow that was tightly wound around the body of the sackcloth, the riverside people cherished it and made Julian, who regarded himself as a lover of the sword, ashamed of himself. Even when he was unconscious, his hands clung to the longbow. Even if you sleep, eat, change dressings, squat in the pit, and soak in hot springs, you will never leave your body. This longbow has a very special meaning for him, something that he desperately wants to protect. As a person who has come over, Julian understands this feeling very well.

"Yes. Hope you get well soon. Julian replied without delay, then turned to open the door.

"Monsieur Rousseau, it's useless to be in a hurry. What should come will come after all. The man by the river said a sentence full of deep meaning.

"What do you mean?" asked Julian, turning involuntarily.

"Haha...... Goodbye. The riverman laughed, propped up two crutches, and limped around the corner of the hallway.

Although inexplicably wonderful. But Julian didn't dig deeper. He returned to his room and changed into a light but dignified knight's dress, and hurried towards the dining hall, but he did not expect to be stopped again in front of the dining hall.

"Stop, you impudent fellow!" stood in the way of a petite girl.

The three masters of Fernandez Manor: Ramilie Fernandez. If the eyes of the eldest sister Nan Nokai are like a sea eagle, hovering lonely on the sea level, searching for any fish close to the sea, and finding the target and killing it with precision, the eyes of the third sister Lamiri are reminiscent of cheetahs, wild, swift, willful, unsociable, dangerous, Doing her own thing, Julian's beastly eyes under her eyebrow bangs made Julian feel as if she was being targeted by a hungry she-leopard, ready to pounce on her belly and chew on his liver, and even when she didn't look at her, her leopard-print blobled clothes made people think they had really met a cheetah when they saw it from a distance.

"Miss LaMillie, may I ask what I have offended about?" Julian sighed, the little girl's pungency had been taught by him on the first day he entered the manor, and he could only improvise and find a way to fool around.

"Stinky man!" Sister Nanokai said on the first day that you are not allowed to go near the back mountain, are you deaf or stupid?" Lamili asked with her hands on her hips.

It turned out to be a trivial matter that had been solved a long time ago. Julian knew that she was deliberately looking for the ballast, and the entanglement was endless, and he didn't give any explanation at the moment, so he simply probed the other party's bottom line: "That's right, I just went, so what do you want?"

Lamilie pouted, she originally thought that Julian would hurriedly defend herself, explain, and pull the skin for a while, but she didn't expect the other party to admit it so directly and briskly, and kick the ball back to her, she was a little overwhelmed. After a few seconds, the girl who came back to her senses made a move that Julian did not expect: she folded her hands in front of her chest, turned sideways, and despite the fact that she was wearing a short skirt, she raised her right foot and rested on the pole of a small tree next to her.

"Get under me, or you'll get out of the manor!" Ramilli said in a ridiculous request. In this situation, no matter how the rude guy looks at it, it is not Julian.

Sighing slightly, Julian had long expected that things would turn out like this, and what he didn't expect was just the process in between. He understood what Lamiri meant. Fernandez Manor has been without a man for 12 years, and as soon as Julian, Dante, and Riverside people moved into the manor, they immediately became the object of public attention. The older mothers were more knowledgeable and less interested, but the younger girls were quite curious about the "legendary" men. The three of them are like caged orangutans, and they are watched by the girls every day with the eyes of monsters. But most of the girls were curious and intimidating, and only looked at them from a distance, not daring to touch them, but the exception of the three-in-command LaMillie, who had always been known for her boldness.

Originally, LaMillie was in charge of supervising the convoy to go out to buy and sell supplies, and often had to go to the towns outside, and she had seen more men than the girls who walked out of the boudoir, and they should not have much interest in Julian, but now the three men lived in the manor, and in her eyes they were like fish on a chopping board, and she could tease them however she wanted. So these days, I always look for the three of them. After all, Lamiri didn't have any hatred for Julian, but was just a prank made out of loneliness and boredom.

Since it was a prank, Julian naturally would not be generally knowledgeable. Just as he was about to get rid of Lamilie, another woman's voice sounded next to him: "You are so thick-skinned, you will hook up with a man at every opportunity, and you don't care that the man doesn't look down on you at all." ”

It was none other than Sasha Fernandez, the second-in-command. Compared with Nanokai's fierceness and Lamilie's brutality, Sasha looks the most "gentle" on the surface. She was wearing an off-white tunic bandeau dress, a pale red thin sha covered her shoulders, the ends of the thin sha hung on her pink forearms, a three-petal hair ornament on her head, her long straight hair was draped behind her back like a waterfall, and she held a small fan in her left hand. The skin is white and the corners of the mouth are slightly raised. Her feet in high heels walk in small broken steps in an elegant posture. Sasha appears to be a dignified, virtuous lady trained in the manners of high aristocracy, but judging people by their looks will always make wrong judgments. If you look closely at Sasha's eyes, you will have the illusion of looking at a poisonous snake, which is cold, vicious, and unguardable.

Sasha's words were clearly directed at LaMillie, and in the same way, when Lamiri saw Sasha, it was like a candle burning at the slightest moment. She yelled at Sasha, "What did you say! Who hooked up with the man? Say it again!"

"Is that wrong?" look at you, ouch......" Sasha unhurriedly covered her mouth with a fan and let out a soft laugh, "Whew! what's so nice to only lift one foot, it's better to strip your clothes off." Hehe, but even if you strip naked, there's nothing to see. ”

Lamiri put her feet away and sneered at Sasha, "Sasha, I know you're good at hooking men, but don't impose your habits on me." Take it off yourself if you like, take it off now!"

"Ouch...... A good sister to someone's family. Sasha responded to LaMillie's provocation in a feminine voice, "I thought your congenital defects were just your figure, but I didn't expect your IQ to have degraded to the same level as your body." ”

When it comes to figure, that's LaMillie's life. Although the three girls have the same grandmother, their parents are not, so they have different genetic signs. As one of the assets for women to show off, Lamiri's figure is indeed a big difference compared to the two cousins, her breasts are obviously too mediocre compared to Nanokai and Sasha, and she is not tall, her legs are thicker, and her savage and unrestrained personality, if she changes into men's clothes, 99% will be considered a little boy who has just entered the rebellious period.

The so-called "which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned", Lamilie's face was full of black lines, and she made a weak defense angrily and inferiorly: "You ...... Shut up! I'm only 16, 16. ”

"I almost forgot, you're 16 years old!" Sasha pretended to be surprised, "I remember that when I was 16 years old, I was worried about my increasingly complete body every day, and I was worried that my favorite clothes today would not be able to wear tomorrow. I envy you, I don't need to worry about this at all. After saying that, he put down the fan that covered his mouth, and at the same time, his fingers "naturally" slid over the neckline of the bandeau dress, revealing his full breasts intentionally or unintentionally.

Angry, Lamiri clenched her hands into fists and hung down on her sides, leaning forward, her eyes and teeth bared angrily, like a leopard about to pounce: "Get out!

"People haven't thought about comparing with the eldest sister. As a 'normal' woman, you don't need to compare yourself with anyone. ”

"Who do you say is an 'abnormal' woman?

"No one has ever said anyone. A little bag with a radish leg can not be seated. ”

......

While she learns how powerful Lamilie is on the first day, Julian also knows that Sasha is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The two cousins seem to have a grudge in their previous lives, and they meet endlessly. And compared to Lamilie's Jiesdili, Sasha's poisonous tongue always pokes at Lamiri's pain points, and every time it makes the latter almost crazy. The house was enveloped in the noise of the two cousins almost every day, and only Lamilie's days when he was out were relatively peaceful.

The two cousins quarreled about a lot of female topics, which was a bit embarrassing as a big man, so Julian quickly bypassed the two of them and went straight to the dining hall while their attention was attracted to each other. The two sisters were unaware of it, and they still forgot about their quarrels.

Outside the kitchen is a collective canteen that can accommodate more than 60 people in the villa, and in a small door next to it is a relatively independent small dining room. Julian knew that Ipeia was there, so he bypassed the collective cafeteria and walked straight to the small dining room. But at the door, I saw the riverside man holding a cane, and he was still carrying the longbow.

"Monsieur Rousseau, it seems that some trouble has cost you time. The man by the river smiled incomprehensibly.

"Why are you here?" Julian remembered that the people by the river should be lying in bed to recuperate at this time of day, and that someone would bring food to his room, and now he took the initiative to come to the place where he met up with Ipeia, which made Julian feel that something was unusual.

"Didn't the eldest lady let us come?" From the words of the riverside, it is known that Julian is not the only one invited by Ipeya to discuss the matter.

At this time, Dante ran out of the small dining room, and he heard Julian's voice: "Master, the eldest lady has been waiting inside for a long time. ”

The three of them entered the small dining room together, which only had a small oval table, and the furnishings were more elaborate and tasteful than the collective dining hall in front. Ipeiya sat in the master's seat, a fat aunt in her 50s guarded behind her, and at the bottom right was Nanokai, the head of the manor, with two empty seats to the right of Nanokai, and three empty seats at the bottom left of Ipeiya. The fat aunt led Julian and the three to the three seats on the lower left of Ipeia, and sat down in the order of the riverside, Julian, and Dante according to the distance from Ipeia.

The sharp-eyed Julian saw the clue from this order: in the mind of Ipeya, the status of the riverside people was higher than that of Julian.

"Miss, I heard that you have something important to announce. Julian got straight to the point.

"Why rush for a while, everyone is hungry, eat first. Ipeia gave Julian an elegant smile.

Due to the angle, Julian's gaze also touched the riverside when he looked at Ipeya. Although it was only from the side, Julian still read a faint murderous aura in the eyes of the people by the river. It seems that this person has a clear idea of what Ipeia is going to say.

There are more and more mysteries on the people by the riverside. Was he really just saved by himself as he passed by?" Julian pondered.
