4 Fruits
In the luxurious Pearl Castle, the grand dinner party was coming to an end after a half-night, and as the host, the Duke of Gross and some of the elderly had already left in the middle of the dinner, and those who remained were basically young people.
A beautiful woman in a bright yellow dress followed Eren and took the place of the original owner's task to receive Alan.
Goose egg face, long golden brown hair neatly combed back, wearing a delicate gemstone forehead ornament, every move is full of elegance, slender figure, delicate and elegant facial features, smiling very kindly, like an angel.
She is Margaret, not a person who looks very stunning at first glance, but belongs to the kind that becomes more and more beautiful the more she looks at it.
"I was initially very hostile to those people. Seeing off the last guest, Alan smiled at him, "I understand now." ”
This subtle compliment caused Margaret to purse her lips and smile, and under the light of the gorgeous chandelier on the dome, her figure seemed to be hit with a layer of bright yellow filter, beautiful and moving, and looked full of dreaminess.
However, Alan did not linger on her for long, but yawned and asked as if he was very sleepy, "Thank you and Uncle Gross for your hospitality, is there anything else that needs me next?" Also, where am I staying tonight?"
"My father had already instructed that after the dinner party we could go to bed. Margaret said, then looked at Alan curiously and asked, "You don't look comfortable with today's dinner?"
"Yes. Alan said, "I never go to a banquet at the reef. Of course, reefs aren't very popular with this. ”
"Every city has its own customs, and if you go to the White City, it's probably even more uncomfortable. Margaret pursed her lips and smiled, and then seeing Allen's "tired" look, she said softly: "Come with me, I have prepared a place for you in advance." ”
"Thank you!"
Alan's thank you was genuine, because he was desperate to have a separate space instead of grinding and chirping and doing boring things.
This banquet was enough to make him impatient, but he couldn't show anything, nominally, this was held for him after all, although it was only in name, but he, the "protagonist", could only endure himself, and couldn't leave casually.
Taking advantage of the upstairs, Alan asked, "How long do I need to stay here?"
"Father said you have to stay here until the day of the vow. Margaret's answer made Alan frown: "Isn't that more than three months away?"
"Yes. Margaret nodded, then turned her head sideways to look at Alan with her bright eyes, "Are you in a hurry?"
"I'm not sure you know this. Alan tried to make his tone as sincere as possible, rather than showing anything, and he said, "I'm a lord now, and there's a city to take care of, so..."
"That's right. Margaret seemed to know something, but she still looked surprised, as if she was "cooperating" with Alan.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not showing off, it's a broken city. Alan hurriedly added, "But anyway, it's also a city, I think you should understand, as a lord, I can't leave for too long..."
"Three months is a long time. Margaret nodded in relief, then frowned: "I can help you talk to your father, but it may not work......"
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome. ”
As these words fell, the atmosphere fell silent, except for the sound of footsteps constantly going upstairs.
The two are actually not very familiar with each other, so there is nothing to say except for business, so that the atmosphere is a bit awkward now.
But the awkward atmosphere didn't last long, because the journey was not very long,
After a while, they stopped in front of a pointed house made of red shirt wood and decorated with beautiful patterns.
Standing at the door, Margaret turned her head to look at Allen, smiled and said, "My mission is complete, this is the room prepared for you, it was arranged a long time ago, and everything in it is new." ”
"If you need anything else, you can call a servant, the corridor is guarded 24 hours a day, and if you are hungry, you can tell the kitchen to prepare a supper, but I don't recommend eating sweets at night, which can cause gastrointestinal upset. ”
"You're still a dietitian?"
"Not really, I've only studied for three years..."
After a moment of greetings, Margaret said goodbye and left, her beautiful and straight back gradually disappearing.
"It seems to live up to its name. ”
Looking at her back, Alan thought for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and pushed open the door and walked in.
The room was indeed wonderfully furnished, the floor was covered with a carpet of red mountain black wool that was comfortable and fluffy to step on, and a snow-white beast fur was spread on the ground, and the delicately handled head looked as if it was sleeping.
The ceiling overhead is adorned with chandeliers and patterns, the walls are covered with paintings and wall decorations, and in the corner near the door is a wine cabinet filled with all kinds of drinks in expensive glass bottles.
In the depths of the room, a large black velvet bed leans against the glass window, and some daily necessities are placed on the bedside table, which are some convenient gadgets for cleaning up privacy and dressing.
All the furnishings and furnishings are a testament to the owner's intentions and attention, and although there is still some resistance to the purpose of this trip, Alan has to admit that there is nothing to be faulted about all the attitudes of the Samuel family.
Stepping to the bedside, his luggage had already been moved by the servant, but there was not much in fact, some adventure clothes, gifts and extracted items, and a pot of silver glittering grass, which were now neatly placed in front of the bed.
He was a little uncomfortable with the black dress on his body, and Alan ripped it off and threw it on the bed, his eyes looking at the pot of grass in his luggage.
After all, it was impossible to hold a banquet with such a conspicuous thing, so this pot of moonglow grass Alan had to hand it over to the servants to arrange.
This made him very nervous, for fear that the servants would damage the little grass, and even thought about wearing this pot of grass on his body, but in the end, he thought twice about it, so he didn't do such a shameful thing.
It's not for nothing that Alan is nervous, because this pot of grass is ripe!
And it's not the kind of maturity that is normal -
It bears fruit!
On the silver-white grass that is silver-plated, a silver with blue flowers grows at this time, colorless and tasteless, and a silver glittering fruit grows in the flower, round and mellow, like a silver hawthorn.
"Seems like almost a month?" After a rough estimate, Alan came to this conclusion.
The first time he used that mutated magic power to grow this kind of grass, Eren was very unfamiliar with everything, and it was relieved that this cultivation method could still be used.
"I just don't know how it works..."
After closing the door and checking the window and the rest of the room, and seeing that there was nothing out of the ordinary, Alan sat down on a chair at the head of the bed, took a deep breath, and then put the silver "hawthorn" in his mouth.
It's amazing that the hawthorn melts in the mouth, and then a cool sensation rushes to the head.
