The two cars were moving towards each other, and soon they were getting farther and farther apart.

"Stop!" When the wagon had already stepped out of the central avenue on both sides of the poplar tower, and approached the gate of the manor, the man in the carriage suddenly said, and the coachman stopped the carriage, but the man in the carriage did not continue to speak, he seemed to be thinking, and after a while, he ordered: "Go around to the back door of the palace, and tell your master that I have something important to look for him." ”

When the two open-top carriages stopped at the end of the square, Fabre Sr. saw the Duke and Lady of Rothy Phelps, the current Chancellor of the Empire, just coming out of the main building.

Without waiting for the carriage to stop, Fabre and his son jumped out of the carriage, greeted him, and bowed deeply to the duke and his wife with his left hand on his chest.

"The Underlord Ibek Fabre and his son Arman Fabre met with the Duke and his wife. ”

It was the first time Arman had seen the Duke of Phelps, who was younger than he had imagined, no more than fifty years old at first glance, of medium height, broad-shouldered and thick-shouldered, with long brown hair combed neatly, and a broad, full forehead. There are a pair of deep eyes under the sparse eyebrows, and the eyelids at the corners of the mouth have fine light lines, but the spirit looks very vigorous, and the gestures show an extremely calm momentum. He wore a very well-cut gray robe today, with a wide sapphire sash around his waist.

The Duke seemed to be in a good mood today, greeting the Fabre father and son warmly.

The Duchess wore a very formal beige whalebone skirt, although the style was simple, but the skirt corners, neckline, and cuffs were made of a large number of pleated flowers, and the edges were inlaid with gold threads, all of which seemed to show the noble identity of the master.

At this time, Arman noticed that behind the duke and duchess, in addition to a few attendants, there was also a tall and handsome young man, and this young man looked a little familiar, where should he have seen it, and soon Arman remembered that this young man was also a cadet of the Royal Knight Academy, because he was one level lower than himself, so the two sides had met but were not familiar.

"Come, Andrey. I've met Viscount Fabre, and your senior Arman, I'm sure you should have met at school. The Duke beckoned to the young man standing behind him, and formally introduced him to the Fabre sons.

"This is my grandson, Andre Green, who is currently studying in the intermediate class of the Royal Knight Academy of the Empire, I heard from you a few days ago that Arman is also at the Royal Knight Academy, so I specially called him over today, and I can let André take you around later, and they will also communicate more with each other. ”

The young man stepped forward, greeted the two of them, showed a sunny smile, and said to Arman: "I have heard of Senior Brother's name in the academy for a long time, and I am very honored to have the opportunity to meet and communicate with Senior Brother today. ”

"Senior brother doesn't have to be polite, my name is also like thunder, you are the best student in our intermediate class, the rising star of the academy, and the future is limitless." Arman wasted no time in slapping the other party's ass, which couldn't help but make the old Fabre next to him feel that his son had grown up and had his own style.

After a few more words of conversation between the guests and the hosts, the duke's gaze moved beyond the Fabre father and son to the old man and child behind him.

"Lord Duke, this is the old miracle doctor I mentioned to you the other day, and I have seen him heal the leg of an old cripple who has been lame for decades. Moreover, after the old doctor came to the imperial capital, he has been conducting free clinics on the street, but in a few days, most of the civilians in the imperial capital have been praising the old doctor's medical skills. Old Fabre saw that the duchess had turned their attention to the old man, and hurriedly praised the old man.

The old man looked arrogant, and simply gave the duchess and his wife a chest salute, without even bending their waists.

Fortunately, the Duke didn't care about the old man's etiquette, and returned the salute and said, "The doctor has worked tirelessly and come from afar, and this lord is very grateful." ”

"You're welcome, sir, just call me Louis. Saving lives and helping the wounded is the doctor's vocation, the old man I have lived in seclusion for half my life to study medical skills, good at all kinds of incurable diseases, not my old man boasted, the patients I have seen at present, there is no incurable. ”

When the duchess and duchess heard that the old man was so confident in themselves, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly let the four guests into the main building. When a few people were seated in the living room, the maids served all kinds of snacks, dried fruits, fruits and wine to the guests. The Duchess explained that the food and wine were produced in the kitchen, orchard and winery of her estate. The Fabre father and son tasted it a few times and were full of praise. The old man only tasted the wine, and nodded slightly, only little Rick ate this for a while, and tasted that for a while, scurrying around, all unruly, not only made Arman frown, but the old man turned a blind eye to his grandson's behavior, and he couldn't say anything.

They had only spoken a few words in the drawing-room, and old Fabre suggested that he first go and see the condition of the duke's son-in-law. The Duchess said that she could take the old man to see her son's condition first, and André took Fabre and his son around the manor first, and the Duke had some business to deal with.

As soon as the Duke left the living room, an attendant flashed out, whispered a few words in the duke's ear, and the duke showed some strange expressions, and then instructed the attendant: "Take him to the old place and wait for me, I will be there soon." ”

Soon in a secret room somewhere in the palace, the Duke saw the black-robed man who had just taken a carriage and was about to leave.

"Why did you come back so soon?" the Duke asked with some surprise at the sight of the black-robed man, obviously a little puzzled why the black-robed man had gone and returned. However, if there is someone who is familiar with the duke at this time, it will be very strange that the duke's tone is actually full of respect for the man in black, even in the entire Yusi Empire, there are only a few people in the royal family including the emperor who can make the duke speak to each other in honorifics, so the identity of this man in black is obviously not ordinary, but why he appeared so mysteriously in the duke's manor, except for the person concerned, no one else knows.

"Who are the four people who just visited?" the black-robed man did not answer the duke's question, but asked another question.

Could it be that these four men let the black-robed man go and return? The duke, though full of doubts in his heart, replied, "A magistrate has come to visit me with his son and two guests. ”
