Push open the thick iron gate of the front courtyard of the mansion and enter the front garden, where several large trees stand and the stone slabs on the ground lead from the mansion to the front door. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The door of the mansion opened, and out of the door came a middle-aged woman wearing a very simple maid's long skirt, seeing Kaye walking into the vestibule with Helen, the middle-aged maid was surprised for a moment, and immediately saluted and said, "Welcome back, Lord Kaye, Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The woman was a maid hired by Beate, who had lived with Kaye and Helen since she had bought the mansion for Kaye eleven years earlier. Byatt is a noble grand duke, so it is naturally impossible to do housework, and at the same time, Kaye is also a man, and the rest of Helen is the princess's mansion, so naturally she needs a maid to wait.

Mary, that's the woman's name.

Mary was a well-regarded maid in the royal capital when she was young, and after she got married, she took care of her husband, who ran a clothing business.

Because of the large amount of money paid, and because the person hired was a noble duke, Mary's husband agreed to his wife's continued work as a maid.

It was getting late, and Kaye motioned for Mary to make dinner.

Since the Mentor was staying in the palace, he might have stayed in the palace to dine with King Jobble, but Kaye still told Mary to prepare the Mentor's dinner and leave the Mentor's share in the kitchen when it was ready.

The vestibule on the first floor of the mansion is decorated with ornaments throughout the building, and against the wall is placed Beate's personal favorite armor.

The armor was a very valuable piece of armor, which Beate placed for his own appreciation, and if it was sold, it would be worth Kaye's salary for several years.

Kaye walked in the direction of the living room, and Helen went to the kitchen to make black tea.

Even though there was a maid Mary in the mansion, Helen would do some of the housework herself. The living room is spacious, with a polished wooden floor, an expensive sofa in the middle, and a few works painted by famous painters on the walls that can be sold at a high price. There were a few pots of flowers in the living room, which were placed in the living room to purify the air.

Gulan sat on the couch, the book he was reading aside, and turned to look at Kaye.

"Isn't it going well?"

"Pretty much. ”

"Got any other trouble?"

It's really a sharp intuition.

"My marriage to Helen is fine. ”

Rubbing his plush face, since there is no problem, then it is fine.

Sitting on the soft sofa and glancing at the books that Gu Lan put aside, Kaye felt very warm in his heart, Gu Lan didn't like to read, so he was anxious because he was left in the mansion, so he used to read books to dispel the anxiety in his heart.

There is no need to be afraid of Vertoria when he invades Schunel, but Alcthius cannot win against such a behemoth as the Vertoria Empire. Even in the face of the invasion of the Empire, the power of Cerner has the power to defend the kingdom, but it is unrealistic for Alcreeu to count on Cerner's assistance.

Although Schunel was not afraid of the Empire, if he divided his forces to support Alcreu, it would inevitably disperse Schunel's defensive forces, and the division of troops would be very disadvantageous to Schunel.

There are many strong men in Schunel, and strong men can play a big role in war, but Alcxiu is very embarrassed in this regard.

The figures of friends flashed in his mind, and the only way to make up for the gap in combat power was to use the power of his friends.

Kaye exhaled tiredly, feeling exhausted because he knew the strength of the empire very well. Calga, the undead bird on his shoulder, left Kaye's shoulders and stood on the armrest of the couch.

The soft sofa is very comfortable to lean, because it is a very high-end sofa, compared to the grocery store in the Alcxiu royal capital, the sofa placed in the living room is much more advanced, and the tutor is very willing to spend money to buy the furniture placed in the mansion.

There was a knock on the door, it was Helen's, Kaye said come in, and Helen, who was holding the tray, pushed open the door of the living room and walked in.

"Hello, Your Highness the Princess. ”

Gulan greeted casually, because he was not from the Thurnell, and Gulan did not plan to salute.

Helen placed the tray on the coffee table and at the same time placed three teacups on the coffee table, picked up the teapot and poured three cups of black tea. The tea leaves of black tea are high-grade teas sold on the market, and the consumption is basically the aristocracy, not the kind of bargain, it is the tea that Helen usually likes very much.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of black tea, Kaye's slightly furrowed brow stretched slightly.

"Are you worried about Fodoria?"

Her Royal Highness the red-haired princess asked hesitantly.

"Because it's an empire, of course it's going to have a headache. ”

"Yes, I'm sorry. ”

Why apologize?After taking a sip of black tea, Helen picked up the teapot and poured black tea into Kaye's teacup.

Enjoying the delicious black tea, time passes little by little. There was a knock on the door, and the voice of the maid Mary came from outside the door.

"Lord Kaye, Your Highness the Princess, Mr. Gouran's dinner is ready. ”

Is dinner ready? Mary, who is a skilled housekeeper, moves so fast! She said that she was indeed a little hungry for dinner, and that she was even more appetizing when she was hungry.

It was already night, and it was already dark because of the approaching winter.

The long dining table serves fish, turkey, potato broth, beef, white bread, vegetable salad, wine and juice.

The amount of food prepared was so large that just looking at the food on the table made Guran's appetite increase greatly.

It is really worthy of the food of Her Royal Highness the Princess, whether she belonged to the "Thieves' Guild" or became a mercenary, but she was never willing to spend money to eat like this.

Eleven years ago, when Kaye lived in the mansion, Mary usually prepared dinner in this way, and of course sometimes prepared other food.

Mary stood silently, for she was a maid, and even if she had to eat dinner, she had to pack up after the masters had eaten before she could go to the kitchen to eat.

There were candlesticks on the table, the candles on the candlesticks lit up the dining room, the food tasted good, and for a moment I felt like I had gone back eleven years ago.

It's a delusion, but even though it's an illusion, I don't hate it.

Gu Lan gulped on fish, which should be said to be a cat man, and fish attracted him more than other foods. Kaye ate the white bread and drank the red wine in the glass, and Helen immediately picked up the bottle and poured the glass full of red wine.

Helen eats very little, and although she often practices swordsmanship, she still cares about eating too much and gaining weight.

Looking at her fiancé drinking red wine, a smile appeared on the face of the red-haired princess, although Kaye was engaged because of Grand Duke Beate, and there was no political marriage in love, but Helen did not hate Kaye, but she was very grateful to Beate.

He has many sisters, all of whom are daughters of his father's side family, but most of them are not happy after they get married. Sisters who marry great nobles will occasionally accompany their husbands to the royal capital, and it is normal for them to know from the sisters who returned to the royal capital that their husbands are very cold to them, because not every great nobleman and princess will truly love their princess wife after they get married.

This is the fate of women in the royal family, because the legal code of the kingdom stipulates that as long as there is a prince, then the female royal family has no right to inherit the throne, and it is their fate to marry a powerful nobleman or marry another country as a political victim.

The fiancé Kaye is very gentle, very confident, strong and polite, compared to hearing the married sisters complain about how cold their husbands are, complaining about why the Grand Duke Beate did not choose to be more suitable for the age to get engaged to Kaye, complaining about how she likes the side room more than herself, and compared to the unhappy sisters, Helen feels that she is much luckier than them.

I once thought about asking my fiancé Kaye what he thought of his engagement to her, but every time she saw her fiancé's gentle smile, Helen knew that she shouldn't have this kind of thought.

Eleven years ago, compared to themselves who were still little girls, those royal sisters who had reached the age of marriage, they were obviously more suitable for Kaye, but because they were the daughters of the queen, they were treated preferentially.
