"Look, how beautiful this forest is!"

"What an exciting feeling!"

"Look at this natural scenery, how intoxicating!"

In the melodious singing of the singer, under the bright candlelight, Charles tasted the special food of Trapani City, and chatted happily with the three young ladies wearing gorgeous autumn dresses at the table.

During the day, Charles's generous reward was mistaken by the clerk lady named Marlena for the handsome little guy who wanted to flirt with him.

Marlena took the two sisters Valerie and Giovanna, who worked together in the store, to find Charles, who had just come out of the adventurer's union hotel and was looking for a place to have dinner, in the evening.

Charles instantly understood that Marlena had misunderstood what he meant, so he led them to the most exclusive restaurant he had just heard from the front desk.

In a crisp voice, Marlena introduces Charles to the city of Trapani.

"The city of Trapani is best known for its music, salt and wine. Marlena said as she ate the pickled sashimi rolls as an appetizer, "There is a salt well on the north side of the city, and a lot of salt is produced there every year. ”

Charles nodded as he chewed the sashimi rolls, which are made from fresh fish from the nearby river and sliced and salted in salt for about a day to taste and kill parasites. Served with a small pickled cucumber rolled in sashimi, it tastes slightly salty and fresh, and not greasy.

Charles asked, "So Trapani is rich?"

Marlena gestured to the short-haired girl Qiao Fanna on the side with her chin and said, "Qiao Fanna's family is from Yanxue Town, you can ask her." ”

Giovanna shook her head with a slightly wry smile and said, "I have already cut off relations with my family, my hair has been cut, and it is none of my business whether the family has money or not." ”

Charles looked at the girl in surprise, it seemed that her short hair was not for styling or convenience like everyone else, but for the sake of invention.

He asked, "Is there any conflict with the family that can't be resolved?"

Giovanna said to Charles: "For the sake of money, the family plans to let me marry an old man who has just died of his wife, and his grandchildren are almost my age." ”

Then Valerie, another girl with curly hair, said, "Do you want me to introduce you to our Earl, and I can talk to him, he is not very old and rich, and he will not lose you." ”

After she finished speaking, she smiled like a flower on her face, and glanced at Charles quietly.

Charles glared at her at the same time.

Valerie can indeed talk to Charles, she is the daughter of Charles's tailor, she used to be one of the friends who played with Mila and Charles, and was also one of Mira's accomplices when she put Charles' dress.

It's just that Valerie didn't want to be a tailor like her parents, and later Charles's mother sent her to Trapani City to study, by the way, as an eyeliner in the shops here, and so on.

She recognized Charles not long after she saw him, but Charles didn't say anything about it, she didn't say it, and the education she received since she was a child was that what Charles said was right.

I only heard Giovanna "snort" and said: "I don't want to live on men, when I graduate, I will go and break out of the world by myself!"

At this time, the waiter brought the main dish of the day, which is the steamed fish unique to the city of Trapani.

Steamed fish here is made by marinating the fish steak and adding flour several times and rubbing it vigorously and then putting it in a steamer basket to steam.

Perhaps because the outside of the fish is warmed by a layer of powder, the smooth and sweet fish is slightly hot in the mouth, making the taste of the fish seem to boil on the taste buds.

With the wine that accompanies the main course, Charles raised his glass and said, "Cheers to our self-reliant, self-reliant, self-confident Miss Giovanna!"

Charles we drank bad wine as water I don't know how many times, and now he secretly drinks some wine or something, and no one says anything about him.

"Thank you. Giovanna raised her glass and smiled sweetly at Charles.

After putting down his glass, Charles asked, "So you're a student at the Trapani Conservatory?"

After some inquiry, Charles learned that there is a historic conservatory in the city, and it is no wonder that as soon as he enters the city, he sees a lot of street performers, all of whom are students of the academy who come out to earn living expenses.

Giovanna replied, "We are both students at the academy, and now we are just working in the store. ”

Charles then asked Marlena, "What about you, what are your plans for graduation?"

Marlena replied a little helplessly: "Let's see when the time comes, which better band or troupe I might join, it depends on whether the academy can help me recommend it." ”

At this time, Valerie suddenly said excitedly: "Why don't you two graduate and go with me, and then I will convince my master to build a band." ”

"Ahem......" Marlena coughed softly, giving Valerie a disgruntled look.

The wronged boss is sitting here, you don't leave your master in three sentences, what if the wronged boss feels that he has been neglected, and runs away without checking out in a fit of anger.

Valerie mischievously sticks out her tongue at Marlena, then concentrates on eating the steamed fish without speaking.

At this time, the steamed fish is finished, and what comes up is pesto noodles and light vegetable soup.

This pasta-like noodle is chewy, and the pesto is made with tomatoes, garlic, basil, and almonds, topped with a dash of shredded cheese.

Vegetable soup is a chicken broth with vegetables such as carrots that can be preserved for a long time in winter.

After seeing Marlena's reaction, Charles turned the conversation to the local customs.

Marlena quickly talks about a house that won't sell for years, which catches Charles's attention.

"What's so special about that house?" asked Charles, curious.

"That house was built many years ago by a fish-man who looked like a fishman named Stuffedin, and I saw them when I was a kid. ”

She gestured and showed that she wasn't as tall as the dining table.

"The house was so high on every floor and the rooms were so big. ”

"It's just that a few years ago, the owner of the house lost the battle and died, and many people thought that the house would bring bad luck, and no one would buy it when the price dropped so low. ”

"It's Sebastin, right?" asked Charles.

"Yes!" said Marlena with a smile, "That's the name, you know him." ”

Charles nodded slightly, and said, "When I was in the south, I heard that he was killed in the war with the elves. ”

After he finished speaking, he picked up the fried crescent moon bun that had just been served and ate it.

This crescent-shaped bun is a bit like a fried dumpling and is filled with sugar, goat's milk and cheese for a greasy sweetness.

Charles had to take a small sip of the marsala with dessert after eating one.

Hearing this, Valerie was somewhat refreshed, and she knew that this Sebastian had been killed by Charles.

But she thought of Charles's unwillingness to reveal his identity, as well as Marlena's reminder just now, so she silently ate dessert after dinner.

Charles pondered there, others thought that the house was unlucky, but he was not worried, who let the owner of the house be killed by himself with an Ex curry stick on the grass ridge.

Seeing Charles thinking, Giovanna, who didn't speak much, said to him: "Do you want to buy that house? ”

Charles smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, I won't have trouble with money." ”

At this time, Marlena asked Charles, "Are you an adventurer now?"

Charles smiled in his heart and replied, "Yes, I took a large sum of money from my family and ran out to see the world." ”

Marlena asked again, "Won't your family take you back?"

Charles shook his head, "No, the family also wants me to walk around and see more outside, so I don't care about me, when the time comes, I just go back to inherit the family property." ”

Marlena's eyes lit up slightly......

The pleasant chat between Charles and the young ladies ended not long after the dessert was finished, and he summoned a horse-drawn carriage to take the three young ladies to the side door of the conservatory and returned to the hotel.

It was just when Charles had just taken a shower and was lying on the bed that he was ready to go to bed when there was a knock on the door of his room.

Charles had a "sure enough" expression, and then opened the door with a mage's hand.

It was Valerie, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Young Master...... Woowoo woo ......"

Valerie closed the door and threw herself over and hugged Charles, then burst into tears.

"I thought I'd never see the young master again...... Woowoo woo ......"

"Madame, she...... Woowoo woo ......"

Charles reached out and hugged Valerie's back, patted it lightly, and said softly, "Now I'm fine......"

Valerie's crying did not stop, she left home with Mila after receiving a sponsorship from Charles's mother, but halfway Mila went east to the Seminary of Light, and she went west to the Trapani Conservatory, and now calls Charles "Young Master".

The Charles family has always treated their servants as if they were relatives, and Charles has treated himself and his sister's friends the same.

Valerie, a "companion reading boy", has similar feelings to Charles and Mira as sisters.

But what Charles didn't know was that the reason why his mother sponsored Valerie to study at the Trapani Conservatory was to train available people for Charles – available in every sense of the word.

Born in the Duke of Redkin's family, Ru's mother grew up in an environment full of intrigue and intrigues, and she struggled to think about Charles's future, so she set out early on to select and raise several young girls who were absolutely loyal, reliable, good-looking, and intelligent to help Charles.

And what is the surest way to maintain trust between men and women...... Anyway, Ru's mother didn't mind having a few more grandchildren, even if they were illegal.

It's just that not long after this plan started, something happened to the Ru family, and Ru didn't know anything about his mother's plan.

So when Valerie was tired of crying and told Ru someone about Ru's mother's plan back then, and the names of some of her companions, Ru was dumbfounded.

"Aunt Pomegranate also knows about this. Valerie, who had her head in Charles' arms, blushed, "She was the one who checked on us every month......"

She couldn't say any more, too shy to press her face into Charles's chest.

At this time, Charles's head had not fully recovered from his senses, and the young ladies who played with him when he was a child were actually assistants and lovers that his mother cultivated for herself...... It's just too bad!

"Knock! knock!"

There was a knock on the door, and then Marlena's voice sounded outside the door: "Charles, I'm coming!"

"Yike...... Woo......"

Valerie, who jumped up from Charles in shock, covered her mouth and whispered, "My identity can't be revealed yet!"

With that, she slipped under the bed.

"Click......"

The door opened, and Valerie didn't lock it in her excitement.

"Hey, hey......" Marlena opened the door and walked in, "I knew you didn't lock the door." ”

She closed the door and walked to the bed where Charles was sitting, and said, "Wait, I'm sorry, I'm ......"

Then she sat down next to Charles, bowed her head and blushed, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "This is the first time for me to do this kind of thing, so I thought about it for a long time before I came over......"

By the time she said this, she had already put herself in Charles's arms, and then continued to say shyly: "Can you ...... Can you see it in my ...... I am...... For my sake, give me a little more ......."

Charles straightened Marlena up and sat down, and asked with a black line, "What are you ......?"

"Woo......" Marlena suddenly sobbed, "I only have my grandmother at home, my parents are long gone, she helps people mend clothes under the street lamp every day until late at night for me to study......"

"The tuition fees are getting more and more expensive, and the money for my part-time job is not enough, so I don't dare to tell her, for fear that she will exhaust herself......"

"I said I wouldn't study, my grandmother got angry, so she hit me with a broom, and it was the first time she hit me when I was so old......"

"I ...... I can only ......"

Charles sighed helplessly, took out a handkerchief and stuffed it in her hand and asked her to wipe her tears first.

At this time, Charles felt someone poking his calf, which was written on his calf by Valerie under the bed, which read "Don't believe it".

"Knock! knock!"

"Knock! knock!"

There was another knock on the door.

"In ...... Are you there?!"

Outside the door, Giovanna's voice was very nervous.

Marlena jumped up as well and got under the bed without saying a word.

?▃▃▃▃▃▃▃4°??? (._.`)

Charles, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and sighed, and after making sure that the bottom of the bed was not fighting, he opened the door to his room.

Forget the second game of mahjong tonight...... Charles thought to himself.

As soon as the door opened, Giovanna rushed in.

She scrambled onto the bed without taking off her shoes, and then lay straight on the bed, pressing her face with a pillow.

"Can you ......" the crying voice under the pillow looked nervous, "can you ...... Hurry up...... I...... I ......"

Charles has a black line, can this kind of thing be "faster", if he is really that kind of person, this girl must be tied up by him and slowly cleaned up.

At this time, Valerie, who was under the bed, wrote on Charles's calf again, "Really poor".

Just as Charles was thinking about how to calm down Giovanna......

"Knock! knock!"

"Charles, you're in there, haven't slept yet, we're going in!"

As soon as there was a knock on the door, Giovanna was so frightened that she crawled out of bed and got under it.
