"Come in. ”
Hearing the guard's report, Archduke Lancewayne, who was consulting the materials in the study, frowned and summoned him in.
"Your Excellency. After entering the back of the study, the guard bowed very respectfully, and reported: "There is a silver-haired young man who has a certificate of guard from the Grand Duke's Mansion and claims to be Miss Fair's exclusive bodyguard. ”
"Silver-haired young man?" Hearing this, a figure suddenly flashed in Khan Parkes's mind, and his already frowning brow couldn't help but furrow even tighter.
"Get rid of him, I don't have time to see a commoner like him right now. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency. The guard received the order and turned to leave. However, just as he was about to walk out of the room, Khan Parks suddenly changed his mind.
"Wait. He stopped the guards and sighed, "Let that kid wait in the parlor." ”
"Understood, Your Excellency. ”
The guard was slightly stunned, then bowed down and walked out. Although it is strange that the master's orders are inconsistent, it is obvious that it is not something that a guard should ask.
Seeing the guard leave the study, Khan Parks went to a bell in front of the desk and shook it gently, and with the crisp sound of the bell, a middle-aged woman in her thirties and dressed as a maid walked in.
"Your Excellency, what are your orders?"
"How's Phil?" asked Khan Parkes, pinching his forehead and speaking in a tired and concerned tone.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured. Aside from the fact that she still looked a little weak, Miss Phil was fine. You should be able to get out of bed and walk around today. ”
"That's good. Khan Parkes nodded reassuringly, and then asked, "Has the cause of the fever been found?"
"This ......" The head maid hesitated for a moment to answer this question, and reluctantly said, "Although Master Haken and several other masters have been watching it for a long time, they still haven't been able to find the cause of Miss Fei'er's sudden illness. ”
"Yes. Khan Parks was silent for a moment and then said, "Help me thank Master Haken for doubling the promised reward, please be sure to find out why." ”
"Understood, Your Excellency. The head maid nodded yes.
"That's right. Suddenly, as if he had just remembered something, Khan Parks said, "I'm going to meet a guest later." You go and accompany Fei'er, and don't let her come to the parlor until the other party leaves. ”
"I see, Your Excellency. ”
"Well, let's go down. ”
......
Standing in front of the main entrance of the Grand Duke's Castle, Ian felt a little apprehensive. The exclusive bodyguard of the Grand Duke's Mansion proved to be useless in front of the Grand Duke's Mansion, which made him wonder if he was really too hasty.
A civilian boy in the lower city on the surface, actually holding an identity certificate of "unknown origin", wanted to ask to see the master of the entire Northern Regions. In this case, the guards did not expel him directly, which was already considered quite high-quality.
As for the secret identity, let alone mention. Archduke Lancevine had apparently already seen him as a "bastard boy" who wanted to get close to his daughter. In this case, even if the other party refuses to meet at that time, it is reasonable.
In a sense, it's more or less just Ian's desperate desire to try.
If the official visit fails, then even if you are wanted, you will have to take some "unconventional" means.
However, when the guards brought the news that he was waiting in the parlor, with a feeling of joy or regret, Ian had to erase these dangerous thoughts from his mind.
The gate was slowly opened at this moment, and the guards stepped into the mansion of the Grand Duke of the Northern Regions. The first thing that catches your eye is a huge lawn. Between the gate and the mansion is a white-stone avenue lined with well-cut ornamental plants, and in the middle is an oval-shaped fountain. The road leads to a more towering castle, surrounded by walls and connected to the central castle to form a small "city within a city".
In fact, as an original military fortress, it was originally a very small "walled city". It's just that the Northern Regions have been stable for so long that the walls in the mansion that were originally used for defense are now inside like guest rooms.
Of course, the Grand Duke himself did not think that this would reduce the defense of the mansion. Because no demon can actually get here, and if a natural disaster strikes, then it doesn't really matter if there is no such wall. Therefore, an extremely eye-catching and towering giant tower replaced the original guards and erected it in the backyard of the Grand Duke's Mansion, becoming the ultimate weapon of the entire mansion and even the entire Northern Regions.
It was the Falling Star Tower, the only tallest building in the Northern Regions that surpassed the Great Wall. There is a prismatic cannon that is unique in the world, but no one dares to use lightly!
Ian looked at the platform for a moment. As for the luxury of the Grand Duke's Mansion, as an aesthetic fatigue who has seen too many luxurious things in the previous life, it is not so shocking. It's just that this towering giant tower makes him a little concerned.
He didn't look long, though, and continued to follow the guards who were leading the way, when they realized he was stopping.
Entering the main entrance of the mansion, after a long hallway, he was ushered into a private living room. And not long after he sat down, a middle-aged man who he didn't really want to see, but had to see, walked in.
Just as Ian hesitated to get up and greet the titular lord, the silver-haired, middle-aged man sat down on the chair across the table and opened his mouth with a straight face.
"Don't get up, I know you kid doesn't really want to say hello to me. ”
In the face of this kid who "plotted against his daughter", of course Khan Parks would not give the other party any good looks. If it weren't for the sudden reminder in his heart that he seemed to be a disciple of that one, and wanted to hear some news from him, he would never have let Ian sit on the chair of his house.
"It's fine. Ian was slightly stunned, and the body that was about to stand up suddenly stopped, and he sat back in his chair with peace of mind. Of course, if it was in front of other elders, maybe he wouldn't be so rude, but in front of him, although the world is praising his good name, Ian just can't respect it anyway.
All of a sudden, two silver-haired men suddenly stared at each other.
