Miss Emily had quietly returned to Celtic Castle under the stars. Although it was early in the morning, her body was exhausted from the blows for days, but her heart was extremely happy.

I can't say why, but I remembered the words of encouragement from the black-robed elemental mage again and again:

"There's always a rainbow after the rain!"

Whenever she thought of this, Emily immediately came back to life with full blood, and returned to the appearance of the strong, arrogant and only heir to the Robertson family.

Dai Lan saw her figure in the night, and remembered the first day he came to this Middle Ages, and the glimpse of the sky. Although he faced an extremely strong apprentice magician at the time, Emily's indomitable personality left a deep impression on Dai Lan.

Dai Lan smiled bitterly and shook his head, he suddenly realized that he had been caring more about Emily recently, and he had neglected the purpose of this trip: to find Joyna, to find the damn Bruno!

"My dear Mr. Dai Lan, are you in love with that Miss Robertson?" Murray, the butler who hadn't been seen for a long time, finally voiced his own question.

Dai Lan was stunned at first, his old face turned red, and he shook his head like a rattle: "That, how could it be!" I'm the one who has a girlfriend, but I don't know where she is......"

"Ahem." Murray coughed twice in embarrassment, and said, "I'm just reminding Mr. Dai Lan that the purpose of our coming back this time is to fight against the Empire, against the orthodox magicians, and to carry forward our Theon Alliance." I'm really afraid that you will fall into the gentle country of the eldest lady. ”

Dai Lan rolled her eyes: "Cut!" Do you look at her cold appearance, like a gentle countryman? ”

“……”

Dai Lan seemed to be seen through by Murray's troubled thoughts, and said fiercely: "Don't talk too much. Bruno is a must, and I'll definitely help with the Sain League. Of course, I wanted to find out what was going on in Miss Emily's head. ”

"......" the old Scottish man had a black line on his face - fortunately, Dai Lan couldn't see it.

************

Early the next morning, Charol, the personal maid, obediently freshened up the eldest lady. While gently wrapping her long golden hair, she smiled and said, "My lovely eldest lady, you look really good today!" ”

"Well, you can't live because you can't get along and you lose a few magical talents, right?" Emily is in a good mood and begins to laugh at herself.

Charlotte tied a delicate bow at the back of the hostess's blouse, and said in a pretentious tone: "Miss, I think that chubby Prince Fedora is really not worthy of you!" If you can't kiss, that's just the best. ”

Emily's hand was like a soft wattle, and she pointed to the little maid's forehead and said, "You, this mouth will cause you trouble sooner or later." Let the prince hear it, I can't spare you! ”

Charol covered her mouth and smiled: "By the way, eldest lady, I think that beautiful man wearing a blue knight is really a beautiful man!" And, it seems, he's got a crush on you. He's an ideal candidate, but he's a little low. ”

Emily tilted her head to the side, thoughtfully, her beautiful eyes seemed a little confused, and she said after a while: "Dai Lan? He's a nice lad. But, not the best...... Don't say that again, or I won't cut off your charming tongue! ”

Charlotte stretched out her little ruddy tongue, which was as cute as a red cherry.

************

When Dai Lan came to Celtic Castle with sleepy eyes, he felt that the atmosphere was not right today.

Seeing that autumn is getting better and the weather is getting cooler, James Knight, who is standing in the family square and boxing, is only wearing a close-fitting coat. His iron fists alternately struck, the wind in his palms. hit the excitement, and shouted a few times.

His face was flushed, and there seemed to be anger between his eyebrows.

"Brother James, aren't you happy with those little ladies who have been on good terms with you lately? Early in the morning, I was boxing here to vent. This was the usual tone of conversation between the two, full of concerned teasing.

Of course, Dai Lan knew that James was over forty years old and had never had an affair with anyone, but he was just angry about the eldest lady.

Hearing this, James put away his fists and feet, wiped the sweat on his head, and said angrily: "Brother Dai Lan is talking nonsense again, where did I come from?" ”

"And what kind of Epilepsy are you?"

"Oh, God! It's really breathless. Early this morning, the Jacobs came to collect the bills. ”

Dai Lan remembered that at the last family meeting, he said that because of the repair of the hanging garden, Steward Gerald borrowed 3,000 louis from a firm of the Jacob family, presumably this time they came to the door.

This is really called a thousand sails on the side of the sinking boat, and ten thousand trees in front of the sick tree. The news of Emily's failure and lack of magical talent in her head immediately spread to every corner of Dundee City, and for a while, the status and life of the Robertson family fell sharply.

A group of active-minded knights gradually gravitated towards joining the Jacob family.

In the family council hall, Count Jonad sat on the black iron throne, his face sinking like water. On either side of him sat the three elders and the old butler Gerald.

And in the guest seats, there are a few unfamiliar faces.

As Dai Lan reached the hall, Butler Gerald stood up and introduced him to a strange young man.

"The Blue Knight, the eldest son of the Jacob family, the apprentice of the magician, Anthony. Mr. Jacob. ”

It turned out that this was Anthony, the heir to another large family in Dundee City. I've long heard that he is outstanding in appearance and magic, and it is true that I have seen him today.

Anthony stood up even half a head taller than Dai Lan, and under the golden curls was a tall and stiff nose bridge, which fully showed the personality of the Germanic Houyi. Like Emily, they all have blue eyes.

As a magician, he did not wear any armor, but instead wore a royal blue short-tare robe, which is quite popular in the mage world at the moment, and embroidered phosphor on his chest.

The head held high showed that natural sense of superiority.

Anthony pursed his lips unnaturally, and then slowly stretched out his arm and held it tightly with Dai Lan.

Suddenly, Dai Lan had a familiar feeling, this kid in front of him must have met somewhere! I just can't remember it now.

After a few pleasantries, I returned to the topic.

It turned out that the purpose of Anthony's arrival this time was to ask for the arrears of the three thousand gold louis.

"We've been lending out the gold coins for more than half a month, and I don't know when the wealthy Earl Jonad will pay it back?"

Hearing the sarcastic words, the old gentleman was not easy to attack, and kept silent with a black face.

Butler Gerald hurriedly replied, "Our Robertson family has never paid off its debts. There is also a temporary turnover of liquidity. At the beginning, he said that he would pay off the principal with interest in two months, but it was not even a month, is Jacob a little anxious? ”

Anthony smiled contemptuously and said, "I've heard about the recent situation of the Robertson family. If you sell the iron sword business or the family land, the money and interest will naturally be easy to say. ”

"You!" Count Jonad slapped the iron seat and exhaled heavily. Giving up business and land would be a loss of the family's life. Root.

He absolutely can't tolerate the destruction of his family in his own hands, but the matter of owing money is definitely not so easy to deal with.

"Prince Anthony, don't deceive people too much, the Robertson family is not so easy to bully!" Miss Emily couldn't hold back any longer and shouted at him.

Seeing this famous Scottish beauty, Anthony immediately put away his arrogant look, bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Miss, it's such an honor to meet you." Our Jacob family has always been good friends of the Robertson family, how can they be bullied. It's just that the money I borrowed at the beginning has a written note, and if I can't pay it back then, it's not good for me to go around in it. Our family's treasurer, Nishigu Leo, has long said that the interest rate on borrowing money is too low, and he should go to Master Gregory's comment! ”

Emily's chest rose and fell because she was so angry, and her two big beautiful eyes were fixed on Anthony's face.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense, as if a spark could ignite it.

Dai Lan lazily cocked Erlang's legs, took two sips of the good Downing tea in front of him, and said unhurriedly: "The time hasn't come yet, just what to call there." After a month, it will naturally be able to return to you. The Robertsons don't have time to answer the right questions every day. ”

With that, he threw the tea bowl on the coffee table and yawned comfortably.
