The aristocratic district of the imperial capital, on a spacious street, outside a mansion overgrown with weeds. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

William rode his horse, with Sumera and Kova standing behind him, with a convoy parked behind him.

Looking at the strange and familiar mansion in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of William's mouth.

The mansion, originally belonging to the Lester family, was sold a few years ago, and William passed through it on his way to the Magical Holy City with the Rhine mage.

At that time, in addition to paying off the debt, William also gave the inspector Murfair a few thousand gold coins to help him buy the mansion back.

Inspector Murfair did not disappoint William.

At that time, it took him only three months to accomplish this, and he wrote to Viscount Bazado, who was far away in the province of Kuwait.

Not only that, most of the things that were sold at the beginning were re-acquired by Murphy, such as some rockery statues, etc., all of which were placed one by one according to their original positions.

Knock knock!

William reached out and knocked on the ring on the iron door.

"Here we are—" an old voice came from inside the iron door.

After a while, an old man dressed plainly appeared. He stood inside the iron gate, glanced at William and the others with a puzzled expression, and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"We are the original owners of this house. ”

William replied with a smile. He took out a letter from his bosom, reached into the iron door and handed it to the old man: "Now, we have moved back to live. This letter is able to prove my identity. ”

The old man nodded slowly. He took the envelope slowly, opened it and looked at it for a while, and after confirming it repeatedly, a trace of respect appeared on his face, "It turned out to be Young Master William of the Lester family." Wait, I'll go get the key and open the iron door. ”

A few minutes after the old man left, he returned with a bunch of keys, he opened the iron door and welcomed William and the others inside.

The thin merchant commanded the men of his trading house to carry truckloads of beer kegs into the house. Kova was like a little grown-up, staring from the sidelines.

The old man also handed over the key to William, and took William around the house, and took out a thick bill and carefully checked the items on it.

After checking the items, William asked with a smile: "Old man, it's been a long time since you helped look at this mansion, right?"

The old man nodded, "It's been almost a year." At that time, Master Murfair gave me a lot of gold coins. ”

"Do the old people want to stay and continue to work? We just moved in, and we still don't have a lot of people. ”

The old man shook his head, politely rejecting William's kindness.

William didn't force it, and let him go.

Twenty minutes later, the kegs were loaded, William had settled his wages, and the thin merchant had taken people out of the imperial capital.

In the mansion of Nuoda, only William, Kova, and Sumera were left, and they lost some popularity and looked a little cold.

William took Sumera and the two of them to hang out, sitting on the gravel path in the garden, looking at the familiar scene in front of him, with some nostalgia.

Kova was like a follower, following behind William and Sumera with an excited face, walking all the way, looking left and right, "Master William, this place is so big." But there was not a single servant in the house. Are we going to hire someone?"

"If you hire someone, wait for Crean to come back in a few days, and let him go to the talent market to recruit people. He'll be able to do this kind of thing. ”

As he spoke, William told Kova to find a candle and light a lamp to welcome the night.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, William woke up early, dressed and dressed, and left the mansion alone to the gate of the house of Murphy, the inspector of the noble district.

The old butler of the Murfair family greeted William at the door and ushered him into the inner house.

At this time, Murfair was still eating breakfast, and his wife was also there, a middle-aged lady with an obese body.

"William, when did you come back to the imperial capital, and you didn't say hello. For William's arrival, Murfair seemed very enthusiastic, even a little over-enthusiastic, and asked William if he had breakfast, etc.

"No, Uncle Murfair, I just ate it. I have come to visit you in the name of my father. William replied with a smile.

Murphy's wife looked at William intently for a long time, and the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became. She tugged at her husband's sleeve and winked her eyebrows, as if to imply something.

Murphyll coughed twice and said, "William, did your father tell you anything when he asked you to visit us?"

When William heard this, he was stunned.

Seeing William's dazed and ignorant appearance, Murfair smiled: "It seems that your father hasn't told you yet, he should want to surprise you." ”

William became more and more confused.

"William, you're seventeen years old this year, aren't you?" Murphy was thin-skinned and embarrassed to say it, and chose to tap from the side.

"Yes, Uncle Murfair. At the end of this year, I will be an adult and will inherit my father's hereditary baronial title. William replied respectfully.

"Looks like you're confident in yourself. When I was your age, I looked helpless all day long, worried that I wouldn't be able to be a lord and lose my father's face. ”

Murfair recalled: "At that time, my father was very angry, and directly entrusted me to make a small inspector, and the fief was transferred to my younger brother to manage. ”

Murphy's wife glared at him, "Who told you to mention all that in the past? What's wrong with being a lord? I get angry when I talk about it, and you don't keep beating around the bush." If you can't say it, I'll say it. ”

Murphy smiled awkwardly.

His wife interjected: "William, you are not young anymore, do you have a girl you like in your heart?"

When William heard this, he immediately hesitated.

"If you don't say it, it's nothing. ”

Murphy's wife smiled with satisfaction. She got up and left directly, and after a while, she brought a beautiful girl in a white dress: "Introduction, this is our daughter, Jena." Jena, this is William. ”

The girl smiled and said hello to William.

William, slightly embarrassed, nodded and smiled back.

At this time, Murphyll's wife directly pulled her husband away, leaving the two to be alone.

William looked up and silently looked at the girl in front of him.

Long curly hair like golden waves, delicate appearance, delicate facial features, fair skin...... She stood there quietly, like a clear spring, giving William a sense of tranquility.

Although Jena's appearance is not as good as Sumera and Julis, she has a unique charm.

"Hello, Miss Jena. We might as well ...... Let's go?" said William.

Jena nodded slightly.

Afterwards, William and the others wandered around the Murfair mansion.

The two walked aimlessly, each thinking about their own thoughts.

While passing through an artificial pond, Jena suddenly stopped, "Master William, it's a pleasure to meet you. But, in reality, we are not suitable..."

"My father always praised you for your character, saying that you were excellent in all respects, and that you would inherit the title and fief of Baron Bazado in the future, and become a noble little lord with real power. ”

"But that's not what I want. I already have a sweetheart, not to mention his future achievements, even his current status, which is not comparable to that of a little baron. ”

"He gave me whatever I wanted. And you, you can't give. So, we're not the right fit. Even if you're really good in every way. ”

"Unlike those superficial women, I will not believe in any naïve promises and guarantees, let alone the so-called ambition of men, and waste their youth to wait for something. I'm really sorry, but I'm telling the truth. ”

Jena finally turned around. Her clear eyes stared at William intently, and she smiled: "If you want, just do what I say, and after the deed is done, I will give you three thousand gold coins." ”

After Jena finished speaking, she quietly waited for William's reply.
