Because of Victoria, Twelve didn't dine with Kyle this morning, but instead had a good meal in her dormitory.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and during this time, Twelve had been with Victoria, otherwise he would have soaked in the kitchen and studied how to make delicious food with the cook.

Hongmeng felt that Twelve was too slack, seeing that Zhao Jiaqi was about to cross over, Twelve, as a supporting actress, was not in a hurry at all.

Finally, the day before Zhao Jiaqi crossed over, he went back to his duke's mansion for the twelve.

Although the current Twelve has become the imperial concubine of His Majesty the Emperor, she still has her own duke's mansion, and her arrival has surprised the butlers and servants of the duke's mansion.

When the carriage appeared at the gate of the Duke's Palace, a maid who was cleaning saw the face of the person who had come and immediately climbed into the mansion.

In the Robert Empire for a month, Twelve has become accustomed to people groveling to him everywhere, and it is also interesting to see such a person who runs away when he sees him without saluting.

Not long after the maid entered, a white-bearded old man in a black tuxedo suit ran out, and tears overflowed into his eyes when he saw Twelve: "Ah, Your Excellency Duke—"

After the twelve, Seya reminded, "You should address this Imperial Highness. ”

The old man immediately wiped away his tears and performed a standard court etiquette: "Yes, Your Royal Highness the Imperial Princess." ”

This white-bearded old man is the old butler of the Duke's mansion, Sebastian.

Sebastian has been serving the Duke of Campbell's family since her grandfather was twelve, and this is the first time she has returned to the Duke's House since her marriage three years ago.

"Sebastian, is my room still the same?" Twelve has not forgotten the purpose of this visit.

Hearing her ask, the old butler immediately led the way: "Yes, Your Highness, your room is still the same as it was. ”

Twelve returned to her room under his leadership, and after waving off all the servants, she began to rummage through the room.

"Host, what are you looking for?"

Twelve replied, "Look for the Campbell family crest." Hongmeng also leaned his head and came over to find it together: "What does it look like?" ”

"A gold ring with a ruby and a lizard with a dagger engraved on the base."

Twelve had only recently remembered that the ring was a status symbol for Duke Campbell, and for some unknown reason, the original owner did not wear it on his hand, but kept it in his room and forgot it in the corner.

She had returned to the ring in order to exploit the power of the Campbells.

You must know that the Campbell family is one of the oldest families in the Robert Empire, otherwise Kyle would not marry the heir of the twelve dukes for no reason, because marrying her means marrying the family power behind her.

But the original owner doesn't seem to want Kyle to take advantage of his family, so he puts the ring in his room to eat ashes, and Twelve guesses, which is one of the reasons why Kyle doesn't like her very much.

But now, Twelve had to find the ring to protect himself.

"The host is big, is this it?" Hongmeng had a golden thing in his mouth, and Twelve took it to take a look, but it was the clan emblem ring he had been looking for.

"Well done, I'll reward you with snacks when I return to the palace!" Twelve did not hesitate to praise himself, Hongmeng was proud when he heard it, and even the red feathers on his head shook it.

Twelve put the ring on her thumb and was about to leave, but she was dazzled by something in the doorway, and she avoided the light and saw that it was a sharp sword.

She took the sword hanging from the wall and looked closely, it was lighter than a normal sword, the body of which was engraved with the crest of the Campbell family, and the hilt was also made of pure gold, decorated with various jewels, and in the center was a shining ruby.

Twelve couldn't remember how the sword came from, as if she had been hanging it on the wall since she was born, and after thinking about it, she put it in its scabbard and brought it with her.

Sebastian, who had been waiting at the door, naturally saw the ring and sword on the twelve's hand, and his face was pleased.

"Seya, let's go." Twelve did not stay long in the Duke's palace, got into the carriage and left.

Through the window, Twelve could see Sebastian standing in the doorway and bowing deeply.

Back in the palace, as soon as the door opened, a pink figure rushed towards Twelve.

"Mother~" Victoria Lai begged for a hug on her, Twelve held her with one hand, and hung the sword on the wall of his dormitory with the other.

Victoria curiously stared at the sword on the wall and asked, "Mother, where have you been?" What is this? ”

Twelve smiled gently: "The mother concubine went back to the Duke's Palace, this is the antique in the mother concubine's house." Victoria nodded understandingly, and was quickly attracted to the ring on her hand.

"Mother, your ring is so beautiful! Victoria hasn't seen it! ”

In the face of her exaggerated admiration, Twelve patiently explained: "This is the family emblem of the mother concubine. Victoria's eyes were full of yearning: "Mother, can I have it too?" ”

Victoria's biological mother is the sister of the declining Viscount of the Rodri family, and the Rodri family will definitely not care about her now, after all, she is just a princess, not the only heir of Kyle, and she is still not favored.

Twelve didn't want young Victoria to know too much, so he said, "Yes, when Victoria grows up." ”

The naïve Victoria was about to play crazy, but was approached by a man with a beautiful face: "Her Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness the Princess should go and study." ”

"Salim, you always like to spoil me!" Victoria stood on the chaise longue and pointed at the man named Salim, he looked embarrassed, but turned to Twelve and said, "Your Royal Highness, please help me persuade Her Royal Highness." ”

Twelve looked closely, and realized that Salim was the man who had been on the shore of the lake that day, with sweat and lead powder on his face, and looking funny.

"What class is Her Royal Highness going to attend?" Twelve asked, and Salim replied, "It's the most basic court course, dedicated to the history and politics of Robert's empire." ”

Twelve turned to Victoria and said, "Victoria, shall I accompany you to class?" As long as you come to class with me, I'll have Vinola make cupcakes for you to eat? ”

Victoria, who had always had a sweet tooth, immediately agreed.

On the way to accompany Victoria to class, Twelve asked Seya beside him: "Salim is a man, how can His Majesty agree to him serving the princess?" ”

Saiya whispered close to Twelve's ear, "Salim is the only female foreman in the palace. ”

The female foreman means eunuchs, in the current European courts, eunuchs are rare, and Salim's appearance made Twelve dumbfounded, but she didn't mind Salim's existence.
