Chapter 7: Lotrina von Klein (Part II)
Tong Sheng hesitated: "This is your military powerhouse, don't you really need to say hello to the military department leaders here?" Wouldn't it be nice to just take me, an outsider, in? β
"Let's go, there are so many of this. I said yes! Come on. β
"Nagisa-sama! Who is this? The soldier at the door saluted and asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to say hello to you in advance, this is the expert I specially invited to upgrade Niu Gao. I'm really sorry for causing you a problem in your work. β
"No, no, Nagisa-sama, we also have something wrong." The guard shook his head in fear and said, "I hope you will forgive me during this special period." β
"It's okay, where you are, keep working."
Nagisa came to the identification device at the entrance of the base. After the instrument "ding", a mechanical female voice spoke: "The whole body has been scanned, and the similarity between the person being scanned and the honor of the Knights of the Star Cup of the Middle Kingdom - Gawain is 99.9%, confirming that the person is correct." Welcome in. As the sound of the instrument faded away, the gate of the base slowly opened.
"Hey! Don't be in a daze, let's go. Nagisa turned around, only to find Tongsheng stunned and motionless.
Only then did Tongsheng react, and whispered in Nagisa's ear: "Your kid is actually the Star Cup Knight, and he hides it deeply." β
Nagisa decisively denied his statement: "No, I inherited the honor after I came back from graduation - the position of Gawain, and I was just an ordinary noble son when I was in the academy. Let's go, I'll take you to the Supreme Commander here. β
Then the three of them walked into Jiu Ling's office together, and Nagisa introduced them to each of them.
"Oh? Was it a tech talent from the Dark Sanctuary Academy? On behalf of the Middle Kingdom, I would like to extend a warm welcome and hope that Mr. Tongsheng will not have any misunderstanding about the previous matter. During the military period, I hope that there will be a lot of understanding. β
"Lord Jiuling, you are too polite, I can also understand that the academy sent me here this time to help the Central Kingdom raise the overall mecha level of the kingdom to a higher level, so I hope that the two of us can cooperate happily."
"This is certain, so please ask Mr. Kirishiro to go to the guest room to rest first, and then Nagisa and Alice will take you to the hangar to have a look." Jiu Ling paused, although he still seemed to be talking to Tong Sheng, the corner of his eye seemed to glance at Nagisa unintentionally, and his tone was obviously a lot more solemn, "What a coincidence, I also invited a body expert, she is the premier genius technician of our kingdom, according to the return of the guards, she will set off from the royal capital this afternoon, and is expected to arrive in two days." If you work with her, you should be able to do more with less. β
Sure enough, Nagisa's facial muscles twitched visibly.
"Oh? I would venture to ask, but you are talking about ......"
"Her name is Lotrina von Klein, and she is the heir to the famous Marquis of Klein family in the Middle Kingdom. She has just turned 19 this year, but her professional ability is beyond doubt. β
"Ah, I see." Tongsheng smiled, "To be honest, I have a lot of friends with Miss Klein. In terms of manufacturing, maintenance, and upgrades of the body, she is indeed a rare genius. I don't know if Miss Catherine has mentioned to you that the exclusive mech she currently owns, the Freedom, is the work of Miss Klein and me. β
"That way it's even better." Jiu Ling also smiled, "Then please go and rest first." During your stay in the kingdom, I will personally arrange all your daily life and accommodation, so you can rest assured that you will stay here for a long time. β
"Well, without further ado, let's put work first." Tongsheng turned to Nagisa, "You take me to the hangar to have a look, and by the way, talk to me about your intentions for Niu Gao's transformation." β
"Tongsheng, you are really a body madman, and when you mention this matter, you have no heart." Nagisa laughed at him and said, "Then let's talk while we walkβJiuling, thank you, see you later." β
After the three of them left, Jiu Ling's office fell silent again. He looked at Nagisa's back intently and was silent for a long time.
"Hehe, it's still so dishonest. When will you have to face up to your own heart? β
Almost at the same time, the Middle Kingdom, the royal capital of the city of Figa.
In the eyes of the world, the nobility always enjoyed special privileges. Although the outsider's opinion is ultimately biased, and often suspected of jealousy and slander, it is not far from the truth at this point. Despite the wars raging on the border, the royal capital of the Middle Kingdom, Figa, is still a prosperous scene of singing and dancing. And the princes and nobles who are in it are also living an orderly and leisurely life as always.
A maid dressed in a maid's costume lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, and her small black round-toed leather shoes stepped lightly and silently on the marble staircase. She went up to a carved wooden door on the second floor and knocked lightly twice: "Miss, lunch is ready, Lord Marquis, please go downstairs to eat." β
"Got it, I'll go right away." A gentle and sweet female voice came from inside the door, elegant with a little lazy style, and the soft and glutinous tail note was like a gurgling stream, which made the listener feel comfortable in a sea of flowers like a spring breeze, "Excuse me, Kate." β
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Although she knew that the people in the room through the thick wooden door could not see her movements at all, the young maid named Kate bowed softly, "Miss, I will retire first." β
At that time, Kate was still an innocent and straightforward girl, and she was not good at the way that worldly people were sloppy. Therefore, she was so respectful to her eldest lady, not so much out of awe, but out of admiration from the bottom of her heart. She felt that there would be no better girl in this world than the eldest lady. Although she has a little bit of the common problems of aristocratic girls, such as occasional willfulness, such as perfectionism, such as not cherishing her own things enough, she does treat everything around her with an equal attitude. Kate had never seen her domineering and vexatious, and she was always polite and polite, even to her personal maids.
From childhood to adulthood, the maid Kate has always truly loved her eldest lady, paying attention to her every word and deed, every move, lest she be a little unhappy.
Therefore, her dear eldest lady has been on her mind lately, and she knows better than anyone else, and she is more anxious than anyone else.
"Lord Klein, the eldest lady said she would be coming soon."
"Hmm." The silver-haired old woman bowed slightly, "Then bring all the dishes." β
"Lord Marquis, Miss, she ......"
The old woman shook her head gently: "I know what she is thinking, don't worry." β
The Klein family is one of the oldest nobles in the Middle Kingdom, and the current heir to the title is the original wife of the former Marquis of Klein. The marquise, who was also born in the aristocracy, had a bad fate, although she married a good husband, but unfortunately lost her husband and children at an early age, and now she has only a granddaughter who is close to her knees to relieve the sigh of desolation, and naturally loves her. If nothing else, Miss Klein is the only person to succeed to the title.
"Grandmother, Gui'an." The girl's slender and slender fingers lifted the skirt of the skirt, stepped back and bent her knees, and lowered her eyelashes.
Mrs. Klein looked at the girl in front of her carefully, and said with a smile, "Lotharina, it's very charming to dress like this." β
"Grandma...... Why are you making fun of people again, they don't follow! The girl named Roselina von Klein pouted and shook her grandmother's arm.
Mrs. Klein didn't say anything, and Lotharina was very beautiful indeed. His long black hair hung down to his waist like smooth soft satin, and his fair skin was blown-up worthy of age. Although her facial features are not amazing, they are also upright and beautiful, which makes people feel particularly pleasing to the eye at a glance. Today, Lothrina wore a goose-yellow turtleneck plush tight-fitting base layer with a puffy skirt of black lace embellished with rice-sized pearls, which perfectly outlined her curvaceous curves. The shiny leather over-the-knee boots set off her noble and elegant temperament at a glance.
"Okay, okay, my dear little princess, grandma can't stand your toss." Mrs. Klein patted Lotharina on the head dotingly, "Okay, let's sit down and eat, it's so old and coquettish that people see jokes." β
The girl smiled embarrassedly and turned her gaze to the table: "Wow, there are so many delicious foods. β
"I know you like these, eat more."
"Hey, hey, then I'll go."
Before she could finish speaking, Lotrina picked up the cutlery and swept the food on the table, until her stomach was bulging, and she reluctantly put down her knife and fork and licked her lips unsatisfied. The servants standing around and waiting all secretly pursed their lips and smiled, no matter how decently behaved this noble-born eldest lady usually was, but in the face of delicious food, her eyes would still shine, and her combat effectiveness was comparable to that of an army that swept across the border, she was simply an out-and-out foodie.
Instructed the servants to clean up the dishes, and the crowd gradually dispersed, including Kate, who also bowed down and withdrew, covering the wooden door of the dining room, leaving only the grandparents and grandchildren.
