Chapter 872: Contempt (Monthly Pass 3100 Plus Update)
"Wow...... Fiancé: So Hera, did you send your sister over to get married?"
Raphinia was the first to exclaim, and a little star seemed to pop out of her eyes: "There is nothing more romantic than this for the heroic adventurers to protect the beautiful princess and come to the royal capital to meet the prince......"
Leylin also followed Old Bam to say some congratulatory words, which made Arani's face a little flushed, but he was a little surprised in his heart, he originally thought that Hera was the main one for this trip, but he didn't expect that the final protagonist was actually Arani, a little girl who was not yet an adult.
"And, the elder sister sent the marriage? There doesn't seem to be this custom in the kingdom, is something happened to the elders?"
Leylin smelled something bad.
"What are you doing? Don't you know this is the Viscount's mansion?"
Seeing such a group of mercenaries arguing in front, the two guards standing at the door of the mansion couldn't bear it at first.
A guard stepped out, dressed in a new and bright armor, meticulously wiped without a trace of dust on it, looking at Lei Lin and them condescendingly, his eyes full of disdain.
This kind of mercenary has a slightly better reputation in the royal capital than robbers and gangsters, and has never been synonymous with law-abiding, and those nobles hate to have anything to do with each other - it's too embarrassing!
As for her fiancé, the guards looked at the plainly dressed Hera sisters, and obviously chose not to believe them.
Arani tugged at the hem of her sister's skirt and looked at her own clothes again—her family, which was not very wealthy, had suffered a great deal of change, and even the richest clothes had to become beggar's clothes after a long journey.
She and her sister look now. It's like a country girl who enters the city for the first time.
The little girl lowered her head, almost wanting to bury her head in the ground.
"This little brother ......"
Hera's face was also a little flushed. But at this time, I can only get up and negotiate mentally: "I am a ...... from Amon City"
At the same time, she also took out a small cloth bag from her body. After the layers are opened, there is a well-preserved noble medal.
Perhaps it was the role of the badge, and the guards took another look at Hera before suspiciously entering the badge to report.
Leylin waited in the wind for more than half an hour, until Raphinya was a little impatient, and the door of the Viscount's Mansion slowly opened, and a butler-like man walked out with a professional smile on his face.
"May I ask who is the young lady of the Blue Tower family?"
"I'm Hera Lanta! This is my sister, Yarani!"
Hera took a deep breath and stepped forward, even with a flattering smile on her face.
This is the helplessness of reality. She and her sister are helpless in the royal capital, and if they want to make a good living, they can only rely on the viscount fiancé of Arani, and of course they can't leave a bad impression on the other party's trusted butler.
"Two honorable young ladies, please come with me, the viscount is waiting for you!"
The butler stood on the side of the road and bowed.
"And ...... They are mercenaries I have hired, and this time I was able to reach the royal capital safely, thanks to them on the way......"
Hera looked at Leylin and said a few words.
"Mercenaries?!" The butler's eyes were obviously a little more disdainful, and only Raphinya, who was riding a war horse, made him glance more: "But Lord Viscount only mentioned two young ladies......"
"Hera. Let's go in first, we're going to have to wait......
This obvious contempt made Raphinia blush, but she was instantly pulled by Leylin.
Leylin said to Hera with a smile, looking at the look of disdain in the butler's eyes. smiled in his heart: "This kind of expression...... Is it because the Hera sisters are poor relatives who have no money to come to the door? Interesting! Interesting!!"
Under the mentality of watching the play, Lei Lin forgave the other party's sins very much, and even pulled Raphinya. Looking at the other party's expression of being on fire but with nowhere to vent, his stomach was about to cramp with laughter.
Hera gave her a grateful look. Then he took his sister's hand and entered the gate.
"Ray! Look at them!"
Raphinia was thoroughly fried. It's like an angry kitten.
"Ahhh......h I can't stand it, it's a big deal, I don't want the commission this time......"
"You don't want to return, but you can't affect us......" Lei Lin struck coldly beside him, and greeted Old Bam's sympathetic nod, his eyes watery: "Miss, you can't let poor old Bam not even have this little salary......"
"You don't have a paycheck yet, and those ogre ears on the road alone are making you a lot of money......"
Raphinia muttered, but no more seizures came out.
In fact, the Hera sisters had no assets in the first place, and announced a commission increase on the way, only to be dumbfounded halfway through the journey - they simply didn't have enough money to pay for what they had promised!
Even, even the carriage and coachman in the Dark Forest Castle before, they still haven't paid half of it!
Although Raphinya didn't care about the money, she couldn't care about other people, and when she heard this, she could only step aside angrily: "I won't ask for this money anyway, you can divide it......"
"Oh, Raphinia, you are the kindest girl in the world!! "Bam the dwarf immediately cheered, and even the coachman next to him smiled.
He also got along with this strange team of mercenaries.
Raphinia is the master of money, and so does the mysterious Ray, and the only ones left to pay the pennies are him and the dwarf Bam.
For the lower classes, they never mind that they can get an extra share, even if it's just a few coppers!
Bang dang!
The door opened again, and Arani came out with a young nobleman by the arm, Hera and the butler standing behind.
"Is this the mercenary you hired this time? There are dwarves? I think it's better to go to the circus...... Oh, by the way, have you ever seen the Golden Dwarf Circus show......"
This aristocratic young man had a pale face and dark eye bags, as if he had hollowed out his body in the color of wine, and his spirit seemed very sluggish, completely ignoring Lei Lin and his party, and instead chatting with Hera behind him.
"Daniel, Rafinia and Ray are all very strong professionals......"
Hera had a warm smile on her face, and began to draw the nobleman's attention to Leylin and them: "If you can get them, I believe it will be very helpful to you......"
Although she began to notice the hostile gaze, Hera tried to accentuate her curves as much as possible, even though this provoked Arani's disgruntled gaze.
In the back of her mind, she was indeed trying to 'help' Leylin and them.
Raphinia aside, the only way out for the professional among the commoners was to serve a nobleman.
In this way, after a few decades, they may be able to receive the gift of their master, and obtain the title of honorary knight or even lord.
With this, they can go and seek a territory, become hereditary nobles, and step into the ranks of the upper class.
In fact, Leylin's grandfather started this way, but the object of allegiance was changed to the king.
"Well, you're right!"
Viscount Daniel looked at the fullness of Hera's chest, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, compared to the fiancée who was still a little girl, the other party's sister was obviously more like a mature woman - of course, if the two could be together, it would be more perfect.
"You are very lucky, I, Viscount Daniel, I am willing to accept you as followers, kneel down and take an oath!"
Under the beauties' pleading, Daniel finally reluctantly looked at Leylin and them a few times.
"And you!, you can be my knight of honor, personal ......."
When he saw Raphinia, Daniel's eyes obviously had a little gleam, especially when he stayed on the other party's slender thighs for a while.
But his butler pursed his lips behind him, but there was still no exit.
He was very clear about his young master's temper, and knew that the other party would not listen to any advice at all now, but how could he make a promise from his followers so easily, especially since there was a dwarf and a groom among the subjects.
But fortunately, the young master will regret it after a few days at most, and when the time comes, just give them a position as a guard, or a servant, and the other party should be satisfied.
Even if they are servants, the people in the viscount's palace are superior to ordinary commoners!In the mind of the steward, this is the theorem.
"Why, why don't you hurry up and thank Lord Viscount for your grace?"
Hera winked at Leylin and the others, self-righteously believing that she had found the best way out for these mercenaries.
After all, compared to the nine deaths of a mercenary, what is so bad about being a vassal of a noble?
I have to say that although the other party is shrewd, his head is still a little solidified, or rather, the thinking of the aristocratic class has always been like this.
"Great master, I Bolun hereby swear ......"
To her surprise, neither Raphinia nor Leylin, nor even the dwarf Bam moved, except for the groom who pounced on him with a bright eye.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Excellency the Viscount, but I have no intention of serving the nobles, and we are only here to settle the commission......"
Lei Lin touched his nose and stood up anyway.
"You ......" Hera's face turned red with anger, and for the first time she felt that Leylin was so hateful that she dared to refuse her kindness!
Doesn't he know that there is a world of difference between the identities of nobles and commoners?
This kind of ill-intentioned behavior made even Yarani next to him frown.
Now that she had consciously regarded herself as the mistress of the Viscount's Mansion, Lei Lin's behavior suddenly made her feel that her dignity had been damaged. (To be continued.) )
