Chapter 4: The Fallen Angel's Relic I
When the maids brought down the refreshed and dressed Ekonina, Kobotin took a sip of tea and stroked his beard with satisfaction, "Is this the only thing that looks like this?" Where have you put all the etiquette I've been teaching you these months? Be elegant, elegant! What does it look like to be so frizzy? β
"Yes, yes. Ekonina lifted her skirt with both hands and spread it to the sides, her knees slightly bent, and she bowed her head slightly in a perfect smile. "That's fine. β
"The right hand of the idea, the two hands should be level. Cobotin drank the cup of tea and stood up, a tuxedo with a white shirt and a black bow tie on the collar, a monocle on his nose, one paw on his abdomen, and the other on his waist. Raising his head and looking at Ekonina, "That's fine." Okay, get ready to meet the host. β
The gate of the castle opened, and Kobotin led the governess, cook, bodyguard, gardener, tailor, nanny, and maid out of the gate, and stood in two teams to welcome Del Monte's return, "Ekonina, you come to my side." β
"Yes, yes. "Iconina is getting impatient.
"Pay attention to your expressions, smile, smile. β
At this moment, from a distance, a black shadow rushed at a great speed, and just as it was about to rush through the castle, it stopped, and it turned out to be a four-seated luxury carriage, the carriage was all black, with dark red stripes on the surface, and at the door of the carriage there was the family coat of arms: the upper part of the coat of arms was red, the lower part was black, and the middle was divided by a silver jagged edge, and in the upper right corner of the shield, there was a griffin pierced by a sword, and in the upper left corner there was a wolf's head, and below it was a full moon and a spear, which adorned the whole coat of arms with the thorns and hornsγ The eyes and hooves of the horses pulling the cart ahead were on fire, and where it should have been the groom, there was a mist of constant deformation.
Kobotin stepped forward and opened the door, "Welcome back, master." β
Delmund walked down and walked in the direction of the castle, the servants on either side bowing or curtsiding. "Kobotin, when I'm not around, no one comes to make trouble, right?"
"Master, you're laughing, there's no guy with long eyes coming here to make trouble. Kobotin pulled Ekonina over, "Master, this is the person you asked me to find, named Ekonina. β
"Well, it's not bad, this is for you, I'll bring it with you later. Delmont pulled out a gift box and handed it to Ekonina.
"This is for me? thank you, sir!" said Ekonina, who hastily bowed, took the box, and opened it to see a pair of bracelets, one black and the other red. "It's beautiful, thank you, sir. β
"Let them all disperse, Kobotin. β
"Yes, master. Kobotin cupped his eyes, "You all go back to work." β
"Yes," many of the servants returned to their posts.
"Kobotin, there are three more people coming in a while, remember to take it, you don't need to be formal, those servants don't need it, you yourself are enough, go down." β
"Yes, master. Kobotin bowed and left.
"Aiconina, huh?"
"Well, sir, you called me?"
"Are you still used to living there?"
"Well, you know, I used to live in the forest, so there's nothing I can't get used to. β
"Well, you can go play too. β
"Then I'll go, sir. "Ekonina curtsy and becomes a kitten, and she doesn't know where to play.
Delmund walked to the study, sat down in the huge backrest chair, and fell into deep thought......
A white Pegasus landed in front of the palace door.
"Ciel, do you think this is Del Mond's home?" Travel said came down from the white Pegasus and asked the handsome man sitting on the horse.
"Yes, my master. "Hill owes on the horse," at least that's what Tarin told me. β
"Well, then, go and rest, and look forward to meeting you next time. β
"Yes, my master. Hill disappeared into a puff of sulphur-smelling smoke.
Travel walked to the door and was about to ring the bell when the door opened. "Dear Madam, you have entered a private property, this is a private mansion, and we generally do not receive visitors, except ...... Say your name. β
"Who's talking?" Travel looked around, but didn't find anyone talking.
"Look down, I'm here, look down. "Kobotin was a little irritable
"Oh, you're here. Travel lowered his head and saw Cobotin standing, "Sorry, I didn't notice. β
"Nothing, nothing, a lot of people do that, I'm used to it. Cobotin pursed his lips helplessly, "Can you tell me your name, ma'am?"
"Traville, Traville, Sennan, Schefflier. β
"So, Mademoiselle de Scheffrier, can you tell me what you are doing here?"
"Uh, uh, I'm here for Delmont, he made me come to him. Travel was a little nervous, "Could you please inform me? You have a man named Del Monte, right?"
"Are you here to find the host? β
"Invitations? The text that informed me was burned before I finished reading it, so there were no invitations. Travel rubbed her skirt vigorously.
"Is there anything you can prove that you have ever seen your master?" said Kobotin, a little impatient.
"Hmm, is that?" Travel pulled out a red diamond-shaped badge with a panther on it.
"This is the Angel of Death's relics, Samael's relics, and indeed the owner's belongings. Please forgive my caution, Miss SchefliΓ¨re, for these are extraordinary times, and everything needs to be cautious. Kobotin bowed and made a gesture of please, "Please follow me to the parlor and wait for the other two guests." β
"I'm sorry for you to lead the way. Travel returned the salute and followed Cobertin into the castle.
"Del Mont, I'm here with Lloyd!" "Boom!", Lloyd fell from the sky in front of the castle gate, "Hey, no one came to greet me Uncle Lloyd?"
"Who is Your Excellency?" said Kobotin, as he walked out of the castle, "if you are coming to find your master, please show me an invitation or a token." β
"Uncle, my name is Lloyd, have you heard of my honorific name, what is this kind of thing?" Lloyd stretched out his right hand and showed the ring on his little finger.
"This is a relic of the Angel of Resistance, Lucifer, Mr. Lloyd, please come with me to the parlor first, the master is resting, please wait a moment. β
