"Ahh Ryan and Red came to their senses together, and they quickly sat down in an orderly manner, and when the servant saw that the guest and host were seated, he immediately began to serve the food, first pouring a glass of Bordeaux accessories for each of them, and then placing hors d'oeuvres such as cheese and olives.

Ryan and Red are not outsiders, one is Luke who has been watched since he was a child, and the other is basically his future son-in-law, so Luke doesn't have to greet them like guests, just casually tastes some fruits, as if waiting for someone.

After about ten minutes, Sophie dressed up and walked into the restaurant. Seeing Faras's sister coming, Ryan hurriedly stood up to say hello, and Sophie nodded at him, and after looking around and not finding Faras's figure, he asked strangely: "Where is Fani? Why isn't she there?"

"Hey, don't mention it!" Luke said with a deliberately unhappy look, "This little guy really thinks of what to do, and he is not organized at all." She looked at the look of those magisters at the magic exchange conference, and she was moved, wanting to specialize in magic, but after entering the magic tower, she remembered that she couldn't get out until time. ”

Ryan understood why Luke said this, because not many people knew that Victor and Orlando had secretly left the emperor, so even in private, even if the people around him were Luke's henchmen, Luke still couldn't make a big deal about it, so he had to find a reasonable excuse.

However, Sophie also seemed to know about Victor and Orlando's departure from the imperial capital, she just smiled, didn't ask any more questions, and went straight to her seat and sat down.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the servants immediately got busy, salads, vegetables, and cold cuts were placed on the table like flowing water, and everyone had a creamy mushroom soup in front of them. While waiting for the servants to serve the food, Luke and the others chatted casually on leisurely topics, but as long as someone involved Victor, Orlando, or the government and military aspects of the imperial capital, they would immediately be brought out by others without leaving a trace, and turned to other light topics.

When tonight's big dish of lobster is brought to the table, Sophie raises the crystal cup in front of her and begins to bless Luke. Luke accepted his eldest daughter's blessing with a smile, and happily drank the Bordeaux kit in his hand. Sophie frowned slightly, and reminded her father in a low voice: "Father, you are not young anymore, and you are usually very tired, so you should drink a little less." ”

Luke waved his hand disapprovingly, and he pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Look, today's dinner is quite sumptuous, isn't it? Actually, I haven't had such a luxury in a long time." In fact, after I took full charge of the work of the imperial capital, the time I spent on meals every day was extremely compressed. In order to save time, I do not eat more than 3 dishes per meal, and I still ask my assistant to read out reports from various departments in the imperial capital for me during my meals......"

"Ahem, why am I talking about this? Luke slapped his head lightly, and then said: "Actually, what I just meant was that I don't usually drink at all, and it's rare to be happy today, and you are willing to accompany me again, of course I want to have a few more drinks." If there's nothing to do, I'm not going to take care of business tonight, so I can get drunk and get some rest. ”

Sophie was silent, of course she knew how hard her father had worked during this time, because so was her husband Orlando, the two most important men in her life, who were so good, who held high positions and controlled the fate of tens of thousands of people with their every move. It's a pity that behind her husband's huge aura is a lonely heart for his wife Sophie, who has been together with Orlando for ten years, but she has never complained.

"It was a sunny afternoon, wasn't it? I remember vividly that Orlando was just an ordinary knight who had to train rigorously every day...... "Sophie gradually immersed herself in the memories of the past.

Seeing that his daughter Sophie was silent and staring blankly ahead, Luke knew that she remembered the past, and Luke didn't want to disturb his daughter, so he turned his gaze to Ryan.

Ryan hurriedly picked up the crystal cup in front of him, stood up and wanted to toast Luke, but Luke smiled and pressed his hand downward, and said to him, "Ryan, you are not an outsider, why bother, sit down." ”

Ryan sat back in his seat, he raised the crystal cup to Luke and said, "Today is your birthday, and I wish you eternal favor from the god of luck on behalf of Fani." ”

"Aha!" Luke didn't pick up his glass, but looked at Ryan with a smirk, "Who are you, why should you toast me instead of my daughter Fani?"

Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Luke meant by this, and he only felt a feeling of happiness envelop his whole body, and he couldn't help but say it loudly: "Mr. Luke, I, Lane, I hereby plead with you to marry your youngest daughter Faras as my wife!"

Luke was slightly stunned, although he had long known that this day would come, and even looked forward to the arrival of this day, but when this scene really appeared in front of him, he was a little dazed, he unconsciously picked up the wine glass in front of him, and muttered to himself: "Time, how fast it flies." Ten years ago, Sophie was here and said that. Hey, but this kid from Orlando wasn't there at that time, I didn't expect that ten years later, someone was proposing to my little daughter, and my little daughter wasn't there, which is really ......."

"Luke, Uncle Luke?" Red's whispered call brought Luke back to his senses, and he remembered that there was a young man in front of him who was expecting an affirmative answer with very sincere eyes, so Luke took a slight sip of his wine, then put down his glass again, and whetted Ryan's appetite with a slow and methodical motion.

When Luke had done all these things, he finally opened his mouth and replied to Ryan's request: "I don't agree......" As soon as Ryan heard this, his heart stopped in an instant, and kept sinking, but Luke's next words made Ryan's heart explode like a fireball: "I don't agree...... It doesn't seem to work, alas, the daughter I worked so hard to raise is so cheap for you. ”

"Great!" Ryan was excited and threw the crystal cup in his hand directly into the sky, he stood up from the chair with a "poof", at this time Ryan wanted to do something to express the joy in his heart, but he has always been very calm, rarely really show his inner feelings, so Ryan doesn't know what to do.

"Ahh
