The hall of the Prime Minister's residence was quiet, except for the sound of Khatri sobbing softly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's wrong with Gray, you have to marry a big nobleman? power is really that important? And the big nobles can marry if they say they can marry, they won't take a fancy to us, Katri! You should wake up! Reality and dreams are different, there is no Prince Charming in reality!" Sir Dale persuaded, his tone soft and stern.

Cartli looked at Gray, "Brother Gray is very good, he is the ideal marriage partner, but I ......"

"Give up your vengeance, Catle!" said Sir Dale again.

"Never! I ...... even if I lose everything," Cateri looked a little hideous.

"So, Cateric, what am I to you, or what is our home to you?" interrupted Cateri again.

Cateri was stunned, her words were stuck in her throat, she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, her eyes were wandering, Sir Dale was a little unbearable, he stepped forward to help Cateli up and let her do it on the sofa, "Cateli, my child, time will prove that I did this for your own good!"

"Knock!" a sudden knock sounded at the door, "Sir Dale, Miss Nessa from the castle is visiting. It was the voice of the guards at the Prime Minister's residence.

Miss Nessa, the youngest daughter of the Earl of Lockton, and his only current son, Nessa Lockton.

The earl's eldest son had been killed in the war for the accession to the throne of the human kingdom in the early years, and the younger son died young, and now there is such a little daughter left, which means that if anyone marries her, the entire earldom will be inherited by him.

The soldier definitely didn't dare to stop Miss Nesha, he must have come over first to report, Sir Dale and Gray were stunned, he was a little strange what Miss Nesha was doing at the Prime Minister's residence, but Catri's eyes flickered a few times.

"Emma, take Miss back to her room first!" commanded Sir Dale, and Catri's present appearance was clearly unfit to see Miss Nessa.

Cartli had already stood up, and she realized that she looked ugly now, and the two of them walked quickly out of the hall.

The two doors of the Prime Minister's Mansion were opened, and the light from outside the room shone in, and Miss Nesha slowly walked in with several of her maids.

"Miss Nesha!" Ser Dale led Gray to salute.

Nesha is sixteen years old this year, her red hair is said to have been inherited from her mother, her skin is very white, but she is not unhealthy, not very beautiful, can only be said to be very attractive, with the vitality of a sixteen-year-old girl.

Neysha glanced at Sir Dale, and then his gaze stayed on Gray's body, "Knight Gray, you're there too!" Her face suddenly became a little happy, because Gray can now be Neysha's riding instructor, and he was personally assigned by the Earl, otherwise it would not be Gray's turn, and many people think that he has gone Sir Dale's way.

"Miss Nesha!" Gray saluted again, "I'm on vacation today, so I'll come and see Uncle Dale!"

Originally, Neysha wanted to continue talking to Gray, but a maid behind her suddenly reminded her, she seemed to think of something, and turned to look at Dale, "Sir Dale, won't you ask me to sit down?"

Sir Dale laughed and arranged for Neysha to sit down, Gray had wanted to say goodbye and leave, but this was somewhat rude, so he dispelled the idea.

"Is Miss Cartli there?" Neysha's first sentence as he sat down was to ask Cateli, much to the surprise of both Dale and Gray.

"She's a little unwell now, and ought to be unfit to see guests!" replied Sir Dale, who said neither that she was absent nor that she was.

Neysha's eyes flickered twice when he heard this, and after sorting out his thoughts, he said, "That's right, Sir Dale! Miss Cateli was originally invited by me to attend a tea party in the castle today, but she accidentally broke a painting, and some people said something unpleasant, please take me to convey my apologies to Miss Cartli!"

Nesha spoke very seriously and sincerely, and on the surface, there was no hint of falsehood, and she said the whole thing very simply, like a joke between several children, because she knew that no one would ask about it now,

Hearing Neysha's words, Gray finally knew why Cateli was so abnormal today, at today's tea party, someone must have said about her pain, and he himself became Cateli's punching bag, but unfortunately the punching bag did not fulfill its duty, but made Cateli even more angry.

Sir Dale kept smiling, "I'll convey your message, Miss Nesha!" he didn't mean to let Cartli out.

Nesha obviously knew that she couldn't see Katri today, and the maid behind her was a little unhappy, but she didn't dare to intervene at this time, otherwise what awaited her would be a very terrible punishment, no matter how much Nesha liked her as a maid.

"Then don't disturb Sir Dale's office!" said Nesha, getting up and taking his leave.

When they reached the door, Nesha suddenly turned his head and looked at Gray, "Gray Knight, in this battle to exterminate the goblins, I hope you can make a good achievement!"

"I will, Miss Nesha!" Gray replied confidently.

------------

Gray left the Prime Minister's Mansion and headed straight to the tavern, his knightly gear had been removed, he was wearing simple leather armor, and the one-handed sword at his waist could be carried with him.

He went to the taverns in the plebeian area, he didn't like the taverns in the aristocratic quarter, the atmosphere there was a bit dull, and the taverns in the plebeian area were a little dirty, but he liked the uninhibited there.

The door to the tavern was ajar, and there were still many people here even during the day, and there were so many people today, Gray walked over to an empty stool next to the bar and sat down.

"McVen, beer!" Gray shouted at a middle-aged man inside as he pulled out a few copper coins and placed them on the bar, the tavern was noisy and he had to be loud enough.

The hall of the tavern was full of people at the moment, and Gray knew why, and soon the castle would definitely recruit some adventurers to deal with the goblins, and these people were here for this, eager to make a mark of battle, and then hope that luck would be a little better to be canonized as a knight.

Many of them were of noble blood, and there were even fewer knights like Gray who had been expelled from the realm, and Gray was already considered lucky.

These people are generally organized together to form a mercenary group, and a regular mercenary group must have a certificate issued by the duke, such a mercenary group generally has a good reputation, and some even serve a certain lord for a long time, and if the merit is enough, they can be canonized as knights.

Of course, the probability of such a thing is very small, but it is possible, so the enthusiasm of the mercenaries is sometimes even higher than that of regular soldiers. Many of them are knights who have been trained since childhood, so they are very combative, and they don't need to be equipped by the lord, which is another reason why the lords like to hire them.
