The farce between Roy and Ainabel did not last long, because Roy had already received important information, that is, the relationship between Lord Grant and the royal family was very good, at least for a short time, Duke Grant had no thoughts that he should not have.

As long as this is confirmed, Roy can rest assured that he can take advantage boldly, ah no, he has maintained a good cooperative relationship with Duke Grant!

When Hofkins entered the city, Duke Grant had already received the news and ordered people to start preparing everything.

Hofkins led Roy into the manor, through a dazzling array of gardens, and finally to the castle hall where Duke Grant usually lived.

"Squeak!"

With a heavy, but not uncomfortable, sound of mechanical twisting, the door in front of Roy slowly opened, and immediately after, Roy felt a medieval luxury rushing over his face.

The interior decoration of this castle-like building is more calm and atmospheric than the floral decoration outside, and there is a hint of luxury in the stability, and Roy's eyes do not hide his envy.

Ainabel's exclamations didn't stop for a moment.

"Hahaha, you are this year's champions, Ainabel Owen and Roy Owen? Finally, I have waited for you, if it weren't for the fact that there are too many things happening in the Imperial Capital this month, I really want to take you over as soon as possible!"

Just as Roy and Ainabel were amazed by the building's chamberlain, Duke Grant's bold voice was also remembered in time, grabbing Roy and Ainabel's attention.

The two of them looked in unison in the direction from which the voice came.

I saw that Duke Grant was still wearing that aristocratic costume, which was different from the aristocratic appearance that Roy imagined, Duke Grant looked more like an ordinary person, and his hair was a little gray, but as far as Roy knew, Duke Grant was not yet fifty years old this year, and it seemed that his usual life must be very tiring, well, it may be in various aspects......

Duke Grant has a very approachable impression when he laughs, so Roy and Ainabelle's first impression of Duke Grant is so good that Ainabel isn't too nervous.

"Lord Duke, these two are the champions of this Demon Tattoo Master Competition, Ainabel Owen, and Roy Owen, and their subordinates are fortunate to have brought them to life. ”

Hofkins appropriately bent down to salute Duke Grant and introduced Roy's identity.

Duke Grant nodded with a smile and said, "Ivan told me before, you are really young and promising, you two should be the youngest champions I have seen in recent years." ”

Roy and Ainabel were a little flattered, and at this time, Duke Grant reached out enthusiastically and beckoned to the two of them and smiled: "Come with me, the dinner will start in a while, let them do it first, and I'll take you around the manor." ”

After saying that, Duke Grant said to Hofkins again: "Hofkins, you are tired after such a long journey, are you? ”

It stands to reason that there are guests in the manor, and the viscount does not receive them but lets the duke receive them, which is very uncourteous.

However, Hofkins probably got used to Duke Grant's personality for a long time, so he naturally saluted, "Yes, Lord Duke." ”

After saying that, he turned away very simply, without saying any superfluous nonsense.

Watching Hofkins leave the hall and finally close the door himself, Duke Grant suddenly smiled and said to the two of them: "Hofkins is very difficult to get along with, isn't he?"

"Huh?"

Ainabel was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "That, Lord Viscount is very good to us." ”

"It's just not smiling, it makes us very nervous, and sometimes we have to pay attention to his feelings when we chat......"

Roy, on the other hand, took over and watched Duke Grant continue tentatively.

Duke Grant didn't blame Roy for his rudeness, let alone Hofkins, he just laughed and said: "Haha, it's normal, the champions who are picked up by Hofkins every year are very nervous by Hofkins." ”

"However, please understand that Hofkins has always been like this because of some previous experiences. However, although his personality is like this, he is not a bad person, and you will have more opportunities to get along in the future, and you will be able to experience it. ”

Roy nodded sympathetically, in his opinion, Hofkins is a typical type of cold on the outside and hot on the inside, otherwise, why did he deliberately act in a play in the carriage in order to make Roy change their mentality?

Ainabel never felt that Hofkins was a bad person, so she naturally nodded vigorously in agreement.

Duke Grant smiled even more happily when he saw that the two of them did not reject Hofkins.

"Okay, let's not mention Hofkins, I just saw that you were curious about this place, so I'll introduce you before the dinner officially begins. But first, please come with me to a place!"

Listening to Duke Grant's words, Roy and Ainabel glanced at each other, not knowing where Duke Grant was talking about, but they still followed honestly.

Duke Grant did not order any guards to accompany him to protect him, there were three of them along the way, and it could be seen that Duke Grant was very safe in his manor, and he was not worried that he would encounter dangerous things such as assassination.

He took Roy and Ainabel around the castle, and after climbing the stairs, Duke Grant pointed to the door in front of them with a slight pant and said to Roy and Ainabel very enthusiastically: "Behind that door, there is my most precious thing here, I will share it with you two now, go ahead, open that door." ”

Hearing Duke Grant's words, Ainabel couldn't help but guess: "The most precious thing? is it some valuable treasure?"

"Hahaha, you'll know when you push that door open. ”

Duke Grant didn't say it explicitly, just laughed heartily.

Suddenly filled with anticipation, Ainabel pulled Roy to the door, and Roy noticed that the door was not locked, and he was a little surprised.

Behind the door is the most precious thing here, but the door itself is not locked?

Roy was puzzled, and he pushed the door open with Ainabelle.

As a bright ray of light shone on Roy and Ainabelle's faces, the two of them slowly walked out of the door and came to the bottom of the steps below.

They were lying on the highest daughter wall of the castle, and the beautiful manor was completely presented in front of them, and the scene they had seen before was only the tip of the iceberg compared to the present, and what they saw now was the most complete manor beauty.

So, that's what Duke Grant said, his most precious thing here?

Roy couldn't help but smile a little when he thought of this.

He is now a little relieved about this duke, it seems that he is also a person with feelings.
