Is Sylvia anxiously waiting to see me, or is the Pope anxiously waiting for Silvia's statement?

On the way back to Silvermoon Manor, Victor has been pondering Clement's true intentions in his heart.

He had expected that the Pope would consult or rebuke him on the prayer of the vagrants and the mercenaries' right to live, but he did not expect that Clement would fully support the strategy of the Grande Rélique, even more radical than he was.

Why did the attitude of the Church towards the displaced people change 180 degrees, whose will did Clement represent, and did he have the support of the Knights of Radiance?

Countless questions swirled in his mind, and there were no answers for the time being, but Victor was certain that the Pope was playing a big game of chess that might change the political course of the human kingdom and the Church, and both he and Sylvia were important players in the game.

Victor was cautious and vigilant, and at the same time felt a tremor of excitement, and he thought to himself proudly: Stirring up the world? Hehe, I'm the number one person now.

Two quarters of an hour later, Victor arrived at the manor. The guards pushed open the iron balustrade door carved with the silver moon to greet the lord and his guards.

Hercules, the fierce swift bird, shook the blue light and let out a high-pitched chirp, carrying the man and pacing into the Silver Moon Manor. Twenty sturdy Swiftbird light cavalry followed.

In a short time, two iron oak trees in front of the lord's mansion were in sight, they were at least five hundred years old, the trunks were thick and knotted, and it took seven people to hug them, and the dense canopy was entangled, covering the shade of an acre of trees.

A cherry wood table sits in the shade of a tree, and Alice is directing a group of teenagers and girls to a morning tea party. This is both entertainment and etiquette training. The tea party was served to Viscount Fred York and Lady Audelle's second daughter, Angelina Branstette York.

The little princess of the House of York sat dignified and gracefully on the throne, enjoying the respectful service of others. The average age of the boys and girls who served as waiters was about 10 years old, and they all had aristocratic blood. During the competition of the Centaur Hills Legion, Nicole personally selected a group of broken noble children to be trained as liaison attendants of the Randall family. Now, this group of noble squires also includes the two illegitimate children of the Marquis of Solim, Brandon and Shirley.

Brandon and Sydney's appearance is very outstanding, far more than the other little attendants, especially Shirley's pink makeup, bright and moving, only 8 years old faintly have a trace of stunning and enchanting temperament. If you only talk about her father's status, she is not slightly worse than Anna, but illegitimate daughters cannot be compared with concubines, and the declining Solim family cannot be compared with the prosperous York family. So, she has no noble surname and must stand in the service of Angelina.

However, Victor's eyes were not on Anna and the noble squire.

Anna took the various pastries handed over by Shirley, tasted them lightly with a silver spoon, and handed them to the little chubby Dun Bertina beside her.

In this ceremonial training, Bell was the only minor squire who did not have noble blood. In fact, she is the protagonist of the tea party, and even Anna is always keeping an eye on her reaction. If Chubby eats happily, Anna's delicate and beautiful face will show a sweet and reserved smile, as if she is taking care of her cutest sister.

Little Chubby Dun took Anna's pastry and took a big bite, then threw the rest to a big fat dun.

No, it should be a mountain of meat.

A big fat man like a giant sat on the grass behind the long table, and kept putting the pastries that Bertina threw over into his mouth, and he couldn't stop eating them.

He sat on the ground a head taller than Bertina, with big and small eyes, a garlic nose, and brown hair that was messy like a chicken coop. The appearance is ugly but not scary, but it looks simple and dull, and the first impression is harmless.

Victor patted Hercules on the neck, and it grunted and lay obediently on the pavement. When the man left his saddle, the guards jumped off their mounts, and Hercules let out a long cry and led the rest of the swift birds to the distant pens.

Alice saw Victor, got up with a smile, lifted the hem of her skirt, trotted over, threw herself directly into her husband's arms, her delicate red lips printed on his cheeks first, and said happily: "Honey, you are back." "I found that there were people all around, and I stuck out my tongue in embarrassment.

She was wearing a traditional noble dress, her burgundy hair was coiled high, revealing a slender neck that was as smooth as cream, the bridge of her nose was straight, her thin eyebrows were in the sideburns, and her green eyes were full of happiness and tenderness, adding a touching brilliance to her beautiful face.

The Alina sisters are the most beautiful apprentice knight maids in the Rose Manor, and Victor chose these sisters not because they are greedy for beauty, but because they are from humble backgrounds, their mother's strength is weak, and their backgrounds are simple and easy to control. It is precisely because they are not taken seriously that they have developed a submissive and weak character in the Rose Manor, although they are married to Victor, Sylvia does not care much about the sisters, and if any of them have an accident, the Rose Manor will also choose a new personal maid for Victor.

Lilia comes from a commoner background and has no aristocratic blood, but she has a powerful older brother and a group of old subordinates who support her, and even Sylvia admires her abilities. And the Alina sisters are really helpless in Randall. Victor always has some pity for them, and they are especially dependent on their husbands. After three years of getting along, their feelings for each other gradually deepened, and Alina and Alice's temperament was slowly revealed.

Compared with her sister's gentleness and generosity, the passionate Alice is arrogant on the outside, but weak and simple on the inside, she lacks self-confidence and is particularly obsessed with Victor. Angelina, the daughter of the family, put a lot of pressure on Alice, and suddenly saw Victor, she was like seeing the backbone of the main heart, and then the true feelings flowed and forgot the etiquette.

Victor smiled slightly, wrapped his arms around Alice's soft waist, and stopped her from lifting her skirt. Alice was full of sweet joy, her sharp chin was slightly raised, and she took her husband's arm.

Anna walked up to Victor with her bodyguard, Lady Misha, and gave a graceful salute with her skirt and grace: "Good morning, Victor." ”

"Miss, you should use honorifics. Misha, who was tall and flamboyant, whispered to remind her young lady to pay attention to etiquette, and glanced at Victor secretly.

Anna pursed her lips and looked at Alice's small hand on Victor's arm rather aggrievedly, with a secret envy in her eyes. She also wanted to be close to Viscount Randall, not politely estranged.

A 12-year-old aristocratic girl is equivalent to 14 or 5 years old in the earth world, and she is the age when she is budding and ignorant, and she often can't tell the boundary between love and friendship. Trainee knights who awaken their vindictiveness on their own will develop later than ordinary people, and Anna will still be attracted to playmates of the opposite sex of the same age. However, there are very few noble children who can associate with Anna on an equal footing, and Victor is of noble blood and looks like a teenager, so Anna is naturally willing to be close to him.

However, Victor didn't want to provoke this little girl at all.

Anna's status is very special, her father Viscount Fred is the younger brother of the Duke of York, and her mother Lady Audel is the daughter of the Branstaunt family. According to the tradition of the great nobility, 12-year-old Anna should be exchanged for other large families as a marriage foster child. The Fred couple did not want Anna to marry in a distant foreign country, and they wanted to leave their young daughter with pure blood and great talent in the Centaur Hills so that she could help her brother in the future.

So, Mrs. Audair sent Anna to Silvermoon Manor and entrusted her to Victor in her care, which also meant marrying the Randall family. For Fred's Viscountesses, it would be better for Anna to become Viscount Randall's lover and retain the inheritance of the Yorks, or to marry the heirs of Victor and Sophia, prompting a blood alliance between the two parties.

Victor is not so frustrated, and has a crooked mind about a little girl. He resisted the pressure to shelter Anna mainly in order to sell a favor to the Viscount Fred and his wife, to enhance the political influence of the Randall family in the Centaur Hills, and by the way, to establish a relationship with the local wealthy family of the Seuss Kingdom, the Branstedt family, to find potential allies for the eastward expansion of the Golden Regiment.

So, Anna now lives as a guest in the single-family villa of Silvermoon Manor, and when she reaches the age of 15, Victor sends her back to the Viscount of Fred.

Victor waved his hand at Miss Misha, indicating that he didn't need to care about etiquette, and asked kindly, "Anna, are you still used to living in Silvermoon Manor?"

"Silvermoon Manor is beautiful...... The carnival is also fantastic. An innocent smile appeared on Anna's delicate little face, her blue eyes rolled, and she asked softly, "Victor, can I ride Hercules?"

"Hercules is arrogant and only allows Lady Sylvia and me to ride, and it won't be too friendly to you. Victor tactfully refused.

Anna deliberately put on a look of disappointment and said hesitantly, "That'...... Can you make Bertina my maid? I'll treat her well. ”

It turned out to be Bettina's idea...... Although the snack is a commoner, if the status is measured by the strength of the fan, only Sylvia can compare to her father in the entire Gambis Kingdom.

Victor shook his head and smiled, "Of course not! Bertina is not a maid, but a maid of the Randall family. No lord would deprive his attendants of the virtue of loyalty without cause. ”

Anna frowned and said, "Can I live in the lord's mansion and play with Beltina and them every day?"

"Miss, there are 67 of us, we can't dominate the crowd!" Misha, the guardian knight, admonished in a low voice, his expression rather stern. The presence of Fred's armed forces in the lord's mansion is tantamount to an affront to the dignity of Viscount Randall.

"I live alone, you stay in a single villa. Anna rolled her eyes at Misha and muttered dissatisfied.

The female knight couldn't laugh or cry, it didn't hurt for a guest to stay in the lord's mansion for a few days, and if she stayed for a long time, the nobleman would assume that Anna was the lover of Viscount Randall, which would damage the reputation of the noble lady. Unless she lives in the lord's mansion as an adopted daughter or student, and Viscount Randall has not made a clear statement about Anna's identity so far.

Victor pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Not for the time being...... Wait another half a month, and if Sophia is willing to accept you as her student, you can live in the lord's mansion. ”

Anna's eyes lit up, and she waved her little fist and said, "I'm so good, Aunt Sophia must be happy to be my teacher!"

"I hope so. Victor smiled and nodded, turned his gaze to the big fat man behind the long table, and asked coldly, "Who is that?"

The master's tone was not good, and the little attendants were all frightened and overwhelmed. Alice pretended to be light-hearted and said, "That is the fool who was badly injured by Marcy, and Father Miller healed him." Since he had nowhere to go, Beltina took him back to the manor and begged Alina to take him in. My sister saw that he was pitiful, and had some strength, and arranged for him to do some rough work in the stables. As she spoke, she beckoned, "Ham come over and salute the master." ”

The stupid big man got up from the ground, walked up to Victor and knelt on his knees, and said vaguely, "Salute to the master." ”

"Stupid, kneeling on both legs is surrender, kneeling on one knee is saluting!" Alice sneered.

"Ham" scratched his head, knelt on his right leg and raised his left leg to hang in the air, like a peeing puppy, and his funny appearance caused a burst of laughter. Alice sneered and said angrily, "Put it down...... Forget it, you stand up. ”

Victor frowned, "I remember that he was a servant of the merchant Sid, how could he be homeless?

Alice leaned into Victor's ear and whispered, "Because Lilia took Marcy as a guard, and it just so happened that Bell liked the boar, the Sid family abandoned this fool." They are afraid of Marcy's revenge, and they also want to befriend Bell. As for why it's called 'ham'...... You ask Bell. ”

"Because he likes to eat ham. Master, will you leave the 'ham' behind? ”

Bertina arched her little head in Victor's arms, tugged at his sleeve, raised her face like a red apple, and her big pure eyes were full of hope, which made Victor's heart sprout.

According to Imerson, Bale is almost 17 years old this year, but her mind and body are still 7 or 8 years old. Time seemed to stop flowing in Bell's body, she had lived in Silvermoon Manor for nearly two years without development, and everyone saw that something was wrong. Father Miller cured her mute, but not her body, and Victor asked Bishop Pero to personally treat Bell, but Pierrot regretted that Bell was suffering from a rare disease that could not be cured by magic, and that the longest recorded patient lived was 27 years.

This conclusion made Victor's heart heavy, and he loved the poor little fellow even more.

One more fool who eats white rice, let's satisfy Bell...... Victor looked 'ham' up and down, and found that his eyes were cloudy, but his eyes were ignorant and innocent, like a curious bobtail, 2.28 meters tall, weighing about 580 pounds, a body of fat, but the bone proportions were amazingly perfect, and the movements were coordinated, with a strong sense of balance, and the action gave people a sense of agility, not obese and clumsy.

Victor's heart moved, and he turned on the transcendent sense and observed his elemental attributes.

Physique 13, Spiritual 17, Perception 6, Life 13...... Mental attribute 17!?What's going on?

Victor was taken aback, the elemental concentration of ordinary people generally does not exceed 10 points, the mountain boar is huge, and the elements of the earth and water systems exceed ordinary people, which is a reasonable category, but the spiritual attributes that represent soul fire are different.

The knight who had just stepped into the silver realm was transformed by the void element, and his spiritual attribute was only 15 points, and the soul fire strength of an idiot was actually higher than that of the silver knight...... Have I found a treasure?

Victor was secretly excited, and many thoughts of training his henchmen's bodyguards were turning in his mind, but the corner of his eye swept to a shadow by the window of the conference room on the fourth floor.

Wearing a white gauze dress, Sylvia leaned on the windowsill covered with pothos, her jade hands on her cheeks, her golden hair seemed to be draped over her shoulders, and her red lips were smiling shallowly, quiet and beautiful, like an oil painting.

Victor waved his hand at Sylvia, turned his head sideways, and said, "Alice, I'm going to see Lady Sylvia, and I wish you a happy morning tea." After a few steps, he turned to the boar and said, "Oh, yes. The name ham is too ugly. From now on, you will be called Acre. ”

"My full name is Caligula Randall. ”
