Chapter Eighty-Nine: A person who seems to be cautious is actually not bad
Amid the farewell of the villagers of Mose, the carriage finally left the village and headed in the direction of the imperial capital.
Along the way, Hofkins didn't make small talk with Roy and Ainabel, he just sat very quietly opposite, occasionally lifting the curtains to see where the carriage had gone, and the rest of the time, he was like a robot, sitting upright and doing nothing, which made Roy feel cautious.
This guy ...... It can't be a robot or a puppet or something like that, right?
How did he sit motionless for so long in an enclosed space without saying a word? Wouldn't he feel bored, wouldn't he feel bored, wouldn't he feel his butt hurt?!
He has been sitting in the same position since he got in the car, and he hasn't changed his sitting position at all!!Hey!!Uncle, please move a little, otherwise it will be easy to get hemorrhoids!!
The corners of Roy's eyes twitched slightly, he was very steady on the surface, but he was complaining frantically in his heart.
At this moment, Hofkins suddenly turned his head and looked directly at Roy, his gaze was like a sharp knife, Roy couldn't help but feel his eyes hurt the moment he looked at him, and involuntarily shifted his gaze.
And it was at this time that Hofkins slowly spoke: "Although I don't know what you are thinking exactly, but your eyes tell me that you are thinking about something very rude, and it should be about me." ”
Hearing this, Ainabel couldn't help but turn her head to look at Roy, her eyes full of blame.
With what she knew about Roy, it was definitely something that Roy could do.
Roy's mouth opened slightly after hearing this, and he quickly denied it: "No, no, absolutely not, Lord Viscount laughed, I definitely didn't think of anything rude." ”
"Hey!!What's the matter with you?!Can you tell what others are thinking just by looking at them?Is this a mind-reading!!I can't see it, Lord Viscount, you still have such a skill! I completely underestimate you. ”
Hofkins raised his eyebrows slightly, although Roy's expression looked sincere, some very subtle facial movements on his face still told Hofkins that this guy was unrepentant, and he was still complaining about something in his heart.
"Mr. Roy Owen, as a knighthood holder in the Naru Empire, I think I need to remind you of the punishment for an ordinary resident of the empire who is disrespectful to a person with a title. ”
Hofkins looked at Roy indifferently, and warned Roy in a very light tone, making him understand that although his tone was an understatement, what he said was not so light.
Ainabel was taken aback suddenly, and hurriedly reprimanded Roy: "Roy, stop playing, quickly apologize to Lord Viscount!"
After speaking, Ainabel apologized to Hofkins again: "I'm really sorry, Lord Viscount, Roy is a bit out of tune, and he is often very improper. But he didn't mean to, in fact, he was a very kind and good person. ”
Roy also came back to his senses at this time, and said with an embarrassed smile at Hofkins: "That, Lord Viscount, it was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, hehe." ”
Seeing that the attitude of the two of them was quite sincere, it was originally a big fuss, and Hofkins, who was just going to beat them, naturally just nodded lightly and said, "Only this once, not for example." ”
Roy smiled wryly, and then he slowly came back to his senses.
The seemingly impersonal Hofkins is actually for their good, no matter what, they are all from the countryside, and they haven't seen any big scenes, the place in the imperial capital is the real shallow water Wang Baduo, and there are big brothers everywhere, it is very likely that you will meet someone on the street, that is, a nobleman, an official master.
If Roy hadn't completely changed his mentality, and had the casual mentality of a rural village, it would be easy to inadvertently offend some people who shouldn't be offended.
Therefore, Hofkins is actually reminding them in this way that when they arrive in the imperial capital in the future, they must be cautious and do not offend people who should not be offended.
Thinking about this, Roy was full of gratitude to Hofkins in his heart.
I can't see it, this tall and thin uncle who looks like he has suffered from facial paralysis after a stroke, looks indifferent on the outside, but he is still quite enthusiastic in his heart.
Hofkins glanced at Roy lightly, and from his facial expressions, Hofkins analyzed some of Roy's general psychological situation at the moment.
He was roughly sure that Roy should have realized his good intentions, and he couldn't help but nod lightly in satisfaction.
"It's worthy of a young man who Lord Beard is optimistic about, and his observation and analytical skills are indeed very strong, and Lord Beard says that he looks a lot like him when he was young, and this is really not just a simple exaggeration. ”
"Such a good seedling, if he is systematically trained at this time, he may not be able to become the second beard, but it's a pity, the beard lord doesn't want to do this......"
Hofkins was secretly thinking about his thoughts, and after a short time with Roy, he was also a little optimistic about Roy.
It's just that because of the will of Uncle Kennan, who is what he calls Lord Beard, he can't arrange the training of Roy as he envisioned, which makes him feel a little pity.
Just as everyone in the carriage was thinking about their thoughts, all of a sudden, the carriage stopped.
After discovering this situation, Hofkins frowned slightly, he is a person who likes to plan everything and act according to the plan, such a person is very disgusted with things that are not planned, so Roy probably saw a trace of displeasure in his expression.
But Hofkins didn't lose his temper, just gently opened the curtains and asked the guards on both sides of the carriage softly: "What's the matter? Why did the car stop?"
At this time, the guard in front of the carriage trotted over, gave a military salute without blushing and panting, and said, "Lord Viscount, there is a person in front of me who said that he knew the two guests in the carriage and hoped to meet them. ”
Hofkins' brow furrowed even deeper when he heard this, and strictly speaking, such an act was quite rude.
However, he admired Roy in his heart, and by the way, he also admired Ainabel, so he forcibly suppressed this dislike, and asked by the way: "Does he have a self-declared identity?"
"Yes, he said his name was Pittman Lester. ”
Hofkins nodded knowingly, then sat back into the carriage and said to the curious Roy and Ainabel in a serious manner, "A man named Pittman Lester stopped the carriage and wanted to meet you, do you two know this person?"
"Mr. Pittman?!"
Roy and Ainabel exclaimed in unison, how could he be here?
Seeing the two of them's reaction, Hofkins nodded and said, "It seems that they do know each other." ”
