The quiet court was alone in Xenia.

Her blonde hair was spread out, and there was no one around, her lazy face was exposed, and she sighed lightly and then stretched, snorting squeamishly.

"I heard my sister say a few days ago that in addition to Ai Lu in Xu Mu's team, the other person is Luya... This surprised me a little..."

Xenia got up and took the sword staff placed next to her in her hand, her eyes a little puzzled.

"Anyway, Xu Mu won't find out those things from Luya's mouth...? Sure enough, I'm still a little worried, let Andel go back to the Academy of Magic to investigate after the tea party tomorrow." ”

"I'm a little irritated looking at the scroll of documents, so let's go to the temple and find the Holy Sister to relieve my boredom. In a few days she would be on a temple tour, and she would not be able to see her for a long time. ”

......

The next day, in the northern part of the city of Sinitus, Torah's house.

Although it is not a lantern, but it is also very lively, the courtyard is decorated with some flowers, and the flowers on the garden that enter the passing by from the courtyard gate are even very delicate in the cold winter, I am afraid that a lot of effort has been put in.

The butler of the Torah family greeted every nobleman with a smile at the gate, regardless of whether the nobleman who came in was a member of his master's faction, his face could not be weak, and it would not be good if he was weak and was picked on.

A noble carriage stopped at the door of Torah's house, and several servants at the door stepped forward to help open the door with great interest, stretching out their hands to help the nobles who got off the carriage.

The three of them came down from the carriage, and it looked like a couple with their daughter, and the mother's expression was a little nervous, which made people look very strange.

The Torah butler hurriedly greeted him: "Count Mayo, you are here! Oh, this beautiful lady is Mrs. Mayo! Then this must be Miss Mayer! Welcome to the tea party of my master, the Duke of Torah, and please, there is a maid to take you into the courtyard!"

The titles of nobility in each kingdom in this world are basically divided into dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and barons, and the newly crowned nobles are basically from the lowest baron.

Like Xu Mu, he is a preparatory nobleman, and he does not have a title or fief yet, but according to his position, the minimum starting point must be from the viscount.

"No, let's just go in by ourselves. Mayo nodded, and led his wife and Mel into the courtyard.

Naturally, the Torah butler would not object, but just smiled and retreated.

Mel was dressed exquisitely, with a sparkling flower necklace hanging from her chest, a slender V-top dress, and a short fluffy shawl draped over her shoulders due to the weather.

It looks like a princess of a small country.

However, her expression did not look particularly happy, and the delicate flowers next to her could not attract her attention, so she just walked with her head down.

"Mel, don't make any mistakes later, don't disgrace your father!" Mayo didn't turn his head to look, but his back looked like long eyes.

Mel was startled and hurriedly said, "No, father, I won't have anything to ask." ”

"None is the best. Mayo's expression looked a little solemn, he was silent for a while, and said seriously: "This marriage is related to whether my father can serve as an etiquette officer, and if everything goes well, my father's status in the kingdom court will be higher and higher! ”

"Look at how scared your daughter, and her daughter didn't say she didn't want to, you really are. Mrs. Mayo was a little nervous, she hadn't participated in the aristocratic tea party, but when she heard that this aristocratic tea party would gather eighty percent of the nobles of the kingdom, she couldn't help but be excited when she thought about it.

"It's not your pet yet! You can allow her to do whatever she wants! Look at it, she can't learn magic well, she is so close to the daughter of the Betty family, but she hasn't even learned the slightest magic skill from others! I can't even get into the hundred places in the ranking battle last year, it's really a shame for me!"

"Alright, alright, you guy, don't talk about this outside!" Mrs. Mayo suddenly resented, and her hand secretly twisted Mayo's waist.

Mayo was obviously frustrated with his wife, but just snorted and didn't speak again.

Mrs. Mayo turned around and saw that her daughter's expression was a little bad, so she couldn't help but let go of her husband's hand and came to her daughter to comfort: "Your father also said that in fact, he has always been proud of you, after all, whose daughter is as beautiful and moving as our Mel~"

Mel looked up and saw his father quietly looking back at him worriedly, and when he saw that his small movements were noticed, he immediately snorted again and turned his head.

She almost laughed when she saw this, and she took her mother's hand: "I know, mother. ”

"You know, the aristocratic ladies of other families were already engaged to someone else when they were fifteen or sixteen years old. Your father also spoiled you, and when you said you didn't want to get engaged so early, he allowed you not to get engaged. However, our family has now reached a very important moment, and your father needs this opportunity... So don't blame your father, Mel, for he loves you very much!

Mel smiled softly, "I know everything, mother, I know that you have always doted on me, otherwise I wouldn't have been in the Academy of Magic for so long." ”

Mrs. Mayo nodded, then sighed lightly, and lowered her voice: "The court struggle between the main Torah and Her Majesty the Queen has become more and more intense, and this time for the position of ceremonial officer, the two sides are fighting for their heads..."

Mel was stunned, she had been in the Academy of Magic all these years, and she had never known about the political affairs of the capital: "Isn't Torah Her Majesty's confidant?"

"You don't understand this, do you... Torah and the queen seem to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact, the struggle in the interior is not small. Anyway, this time, the position of the ceremonial officer suddenly became vacant, and the Torah wanted to let his own people come to the post, but Her Majesty did not allow it, and instead promoted the personnel of the old-school aristocracy on his side, and your father was one of the candidates... If you succeed in marrying the son of that old-fashioned nobleman, then there is a good chance that Her Majesty will choose your father as the ceremonial officer!"

Mel couldn't help but quip, "What if Torah wins?"

"What are you talking about, you kid!" said Mrs. Mayo, patting Mel on the back of her hand in frustration, "We're following Her Majesty's line, and Her Majesty is orthodox no matter what!" ”

Mel blinked, and nodded hurriedly.

She just didn't expect that her marriage this time would be involved in the incident that broke out some time ago when the ceremonial officer angered the people of the capital.

She didn't expect that her father, who was on Her Majesty's side, would be one of the candidates.

In any case, if he married the son of that old-school nobleman, his father could successfully serve as an etiquette officer, which would also be a good thing.

"I just hope that the aristocratic son who is unfortunate enough to marry me can look handsome~"

"Don't worry, your mother has helped you get through it! Mother's eyes, you don't know yet!"

"Then in your eyes, how did you see your father?"
