Chapter 180: The Lord's Reception Etiquette

The conversation with the eldest brother Charles did not last long before it was interrupted, and the news of Alan's awakening spread from the maid, and the servants came to visit one after another.

The butler acquiesced to this act, but did not allow the same servant to stay long, and although he was very excited in his heart, he still had a straight face on the surface, staring at every servant who came here.

The people who are in charge of cleaning, the people who are in charge of the warehouse, the people who are in charge of the kitchen things, and even the people who clean the toilets are here.

Usually Alan is good to these servants, plus most of the servants come to visit, and it is not good if one person does not go, so basically all the servants come to take a look, but the frightening thing is that the blonde knight Charles is also here at this time

However, to the relief of the charles, he did not treat them as mean as usual, but kept smiling, and did not stop the servants from walking around at will.

Receiving his "subordinates" was a necessary lesson for the lord, and he had come with good intentions, so Alan was not impatient with the constant visits, but he gradually noticed that the servants seemed to be afraid of the Charles, which made him feel funny.

"It seems that you scared them a lot, big brother. Alan took advantage of his free time to turn his head to look at Charles.

Facing Allen's gaze, Charles shrugged his shoulders and said disapprehantly, "I'm just explaining the rules to them." ”

"It's so rare, I haven't seen you talk about the rules on the reef. ”

"Do you think I need to talk to people about the rules at the reef?"

Charles's words provoked Allen to nod in relief, and while he raised his hand to say goodbye to the departing castle cook, he turned his head to the side and whispered, "I'm going to keep you here for a while, you know, I'm going to go to Samuel soon." ”

Charles was very strange about this, and he said, "Didn't you invite your uncle over? By the way, my uncle has left for something, and it may take a while for him to come back, so I guess he will be able to come back before you go to Samuel." ”

"Uncle has something to leave?" Alan was dumbfounded by this: "I haven't seen him have anything to do for more than ten years, but it's rare for him to be serious when he comes to the bay this time?"

"What's the matter with him?"

"Who knows"

Charles shook his head, and then said, "If you need help, I'd be happy, but in this small place of the bay, my uncle can easily manage it alone, what else do you need me to get involved?"

Alan didn't want to tell him the truth about this question, but after hesitating, he finally said what was in his heart.

"I think it's better to leave you here on the safe spot. ”

"Are you afraid of uncle?"

Hearing this, Charles frowned: "I don't think there's anything worth him to take for himself, and my uncle is not that kind of person, are you too sensitive?"

"Probably. ”

Alan wasn't sure if Charles knew about his cousin Keith's betrayal of the bay, and he didn't tell him that he had just been stabbed and didn't trust everyone, and he didn't want to talk about it yet, because if he did, Kyle's wife and son would never survive.

He hadn't decided whether to say it or not.

So for Charles's strange expression, Alan just nodded slightly perfunctorily, and then said half-jokingly: "I actually want you to relax here, so as not to go back to the reef and get angry." ”

His words clearly meant something.

Charles understood this, so he said a little helplessly: "Actually, it's okay, my father has been much more restrained during this time. ”

"Will he relent?" Alan rolled his eyes when he heard this, his expression disdainful: "I don't believe it." ”

Seeing this, Charles opened his mouth as if he wanted to explain something, but finally smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, it's the same as before, how can you be happy when I say that?"

"At the very least, it makes me feel that old Taryn's stubbornness and meanness are the only constants. ”

After Alan said this with a smile, he temporarily suspended the conversation between the two brothers because of the arrival of a new visitor.

This is an old woman with a vicissitudes of life, with wrinkles on her face, an old face, dressed in a gray linen robe, dressed as a servant, and knelt on the ground excitedly as soon as she came up.

"Master Allen, it's great that you're okay! I know you'll be fine, good people will be fine, I'm sure you'll be fine. ”

The old servant seemed excited and chattering, but Alan felt a genuine emotion contained in it, which touched him.

"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Gemma!"

Looking at the young lord in front of him, the old servant responded excitedly: "This is as it should be, you still remember the matter of saving our family of three, during this time, I will pray to His Majesty Sanuha every day, hoping that he will protect you and return safely, it is really exciting, Your Majesty answered my prayers!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Sanuha, thank you!"

Facing the eyes that seemed to be full of tears, Allen's tired heart unconsciously felt a little better, and he responded with a smile: "Thank you Aunt Gemma for your prayer, I think I can come back smoothly must be under the protection of you and the gods." ”

As he spoke, he took a silver coin from the tray in the butler's hand at his side and placed it in the old servant's hand.

"I will also insist on protecting this castle and the entire Bay City, and you must come to me if you encounter any difficulties in the future!"

"Yes, yes, you are the eternal lord of our family!" Aunt Gemma nodded hurriedly, and then under the majestic gaze of the butler, she hurriedly said a few more words, and finally reluctantly left.

Alan watched her rickety figure leave, his expression was inexplicable, he suddenly sighed, and then gathered his mood and looked at Charles: "It's strange, I'm the one being visited, why should I give money to others?"

"It is said to distract you from suffering. Charr touched his chin and said, "This is what is said in the ancient scriptures of the pious, and there is also a saying in many knights' books - generosity must be rewarded. ”

The Ancient Book of the Devotional is a book of rituals and beliefs that has had a profound influence in the region of the stars, and many of the customs and ways of behavior of the stars have been influenced to a greater or lesser extent.

Alan scoffed at this, and he said: "In the early years, the lords didn't see any luck in the face of the visit of all the lords, but many people with good faces became poor. ”

He was clearly not referring to the book, but to the sentence.

Hearing this, Charles laughed too.

"So isn't this a change in the rules, from all the people to only direct servants. ”

"That didn't help me. ”

Alan pursed his lips, but he didn't want to continue the discussion on this issue, and changed the subject: "Okay, continue the topic just now, I want you to stay in the bay for a while until I return again." ”

"But uncle?" said Charles, who was visibly hesitant.

Alan replied, "Regardless of trust, I can't manage my uncle alone, you know, the bay is not just a simple little place. ”

Charles understood what he was saying, and nodded, "Well, those things you got are interesting." After that, he said thoughtfully: "I just don't know how long your money can last?"

"This..."

Alan was not sure about this sentence, he hesitated and said, "I don't think I should worry about money, as long as the plan goes well." ”

"What plan?" asked Charles.

Alan replied: "I used to be in the necklace business, and it was almost done, but it suddenly changed and delayed until now, but it doesn't seem to have a big impact, if you continue, it should be fine." ”

"Necklace, do you mean the alchemy workshop you got outside the castle, and how much money does that make?" Charles obviously knew something, but not much.

Alan didn't mean to explain, he waved his hand and changed the topic: "Anyway, you just say you don't agree, right?"

Charles didn't have the idea of delving into it, this younger brother has always been mysterious and unpredictable, and he didn't want to test anything, so he followed Allen's words and said, "I think, but unfortunately do you think his father might agree?"

"Father, I have my own to say. Alan spoke in a tone that seemed to be about an innocuous trifle, which made Charles obviously unconvinced: "What do you say? Last time you both had a falling out, I don't think my father can listen to your words." ”

"You don't understand that. Alan shook his head and said, "I think you should be able to guess his real intentions in asking me to go to Samuel." ”

"You mean... Marriage contract?" Charles looked at Allen's calm expression and couldn't help but ask, "Are you ready to compromise?"

"Compromise?"

Alan laughed self-deprecatingly: "Sort of." ”

He spoke with a slightly sad expression: "When everything you have comes from that man, you have no right or right to resist him, in fact, as long as I am still in the stars, I can't resist old Tyron's arrangement, and it is only a futile struggle to resist." ”

"You can leave the stars. Charles had a bad idea.

Alan snorted, "I think it's much better to be a Star Lord than an exotic wanderer, and as an Apocalypse, I think you know better than me how popular people with special bloodlines like us really are outside of the stars." ”

The word welcome was bitten very hard by him, which obviously meant something.

Charles touched his chin because of this: "That's right, it is said that if you drink the blood of a knight, you can gain eternal life." ”

"So we're all Eternals?" Alan rolled his eyes, causing the two brothers to laugh.

After laughing, Alan Zhengse said: "Before I have a certain strength, I will not leave the stars to adventure, although the stars are not very safe, but in a sense, this place is all my own people." ”

"So you're going to have to obey your father?" added Charles.

Alan was noncommittal: "There is an old saying that whoever knows the times is the one who is the best. ”

"When did you become so honest?" said Charles, looking at Alan in disbelief, as if doubting the veracity of what he was saying. Allen gave him a middle finger with contempt: "What's the matter with you, just stay here honestly, I think you should take advantage of my compromise in exchange for your vacation for a long time;

"Okay. Charles was used to this style of behavior, so he could still figure out what Allen's gesture meant, and touched his nose with a wry smile, he obviously didn't plan to continue to talk the opposite.

So the blond-haired young man nodded, "I have no opinion, as long as you can persuade my father to agree to me staying here, then I have nothing to say, and at the same time, I have some personal savings, if you need it, I can send someone to transport it." ”

"That's not necessary, I'm still...." Alan was about to say no, and another person walked in outside the bedroom, tall, blonde and blue-eyed, after seeing the person clearly, he couldn't help swallowing back the words in his mouth, and then motioned to Charles to stop the conversation, and was turning around and raising his hand to say hello to the visitor.

"Katerina? ”

A smile appeared on his face as he said this.
