Volume 1 Sunflowers and Blue Ribbons Story 16 The Price of Provocation! A notice letter was issued

Really! It's been a bad morning and I'm in a bad mood again! After breakfast, Arya returned to her room with a pout, and saw Anne putting the candied strawberries and fruit candy and chocolate candy in the candy bowl into the candy bag.

"What's the matter, you don't seem to be in a good mood because of the morning newspaper?" Anne tied up the candy bag and placed it in Arya's hand.

"Yes, the guys who write the newspaper are excessive." Arya tucked it into her skirt pocket in a bad mood.

"Now that Rosemary's reaction has become the focus of everyone, can you hold on?" Seeing that Arya was in a bad mood, Anne walked up to her and asked with some concern.

"Of course! Not only can I hold on, but I can even fight back! Arya's face regained her look, and she crossed her waist with one hand, walked over to the closet, pressed the mechanism, and took out the blue cloak from it.

"Wait, Arya! It's daylight! And we're going to see Mr. Perseus and them soon! Anne sprang at her in shock, and hurriedly held down her cloaked hands.

"Don't worry, Annie, I didn't say I wanted to transform, I meant to fight back against their provocations." Arya took Anne's wrist and lowered her hand.

"Huh?" Anne blinked, not knowing what she was talking about.

"Hey, hey, look at it!" Arya smiled playfully and replied mysteriously.

She unfolded the blue cloak with both hands, put it on her left hand, and after counting down to three times in her mind, her right hand ripped off the cloak at once, and the wand lay in Arya's left palm like a trick. She raised her wand, and the butterfly-shaped sapphire glowed pale blue, and Anne was surprised to see that under the power of the wand, a white card with a dark blue ribbon tied in the upper right corner gradually appeared in front of Arya, and something was written on it.

"It's β€”β€”!?" Before Anne could react, Arya waved her wand again, and the white card disappeared with a thud!

"Teaser letter, this is my riposte, I want to officially declare war on him! I've just sent the teaser to Percival, let's go, let's see where he'll find the teaser! Arya playfully snapped her fingers, and her wand vanished into thin air, and she was in a good mood to put the blue cloak back.

When they had done all this, they came to Puff Manor in a carriage. Through the car window, Arya saw several knights stationed on both sides of the gate of the manor not far away, Percival with his left hand on his saber, standing straight in the middle of the gate, and beside him stood Pique, who was holding a large bouquet of flowers.

"This welcome ceremony looks pretty good!" When Arya saw what was happening outside the window, she opened her eyes wide with joy and sighed to Anne.

"Mr. Perseus is a good man, and he will certainly think of everything. That's good, Arya, do your best in all aspects! Anne smiled and winked at her.

"Please, Annie, don't put pressure on me anymore......" Facing her best friend's joke, Arya showed a helpless expression and quickly waved her hand, in exchange for a happier smile from the other party.

While they were talking and laughing, the carriage had stopped at the gate at some point, and Arya saw Percival approaching on her own initiative, opened the door gently, bowed slightly, and then raised her face to look at her: "Welcome to this place, Miss Arya." ”

Such beautiful eyes, the moment she met Percival up close, Arya felt that her heart was snatched by those pure light blue eyes, and the strict look of rejection that had been seen for the first time was gone, replaced by a slightly relaxed expression.

"Ahemβ€”" Anne coughed a few times, and after she got out of the carriage, she looked at Arya, "I'll help you down, Arya." ”

"Ah, good, good!" Arya quickly came to her senses and handed her hand to Anne to help her down.

"Sister Arya, here you go!" Peake jumped over happily and held the bouquet in front of Arya.

"Wow! What a beautiful flower! Thank you! Pique! Arya took the dew-stained flowers with both hands, and with a smile as bright as a pink sunflower, she took out the candy bag from her pocket and handed it to Pique: "Here, Pique!" Pique's eyes lit up at the sight of the candy bag.

"Thank you, Sister Arya! This bouquet was specially ordered by Pat's brother who went to the flower shop early in the morning! With the bag of candy in both hands, Peake turned his head to look at Percival.

"Huh!?" Arya looked at the two in front of her in surprise.

"Miss Arya, I heard from Peak about what happened outside the showcase, so we decided to order a bouquet of flowers for you together as a way to show our gratitude to you." As he spoke, Percival looked down at Pique, then on Arya.

"I see, thank you, Pique, Sir Percival, I'm very happy! Anne, help me hold this bouquet and go back and put it in a vase in my bedroom. Arya carefully handed the bouquet to Anne.

"Okay, I see." Anne nodded, holding the bouquet in her arms.

"Those two young ladies, please follow me on a tour of Puff Manor." Percival made an inviting gesture, and the girls nodded and followed him into the manor.

Upon entering the door, Aria found that although the interior of the house was not so magnificent, it looked relatively large and clean, and the whole hall was cleaned without a trace of dust, and at the end of the hall was a white marble sculpture of the god Gela, and under a few windows, there were several pots of ornamental greenery that did not bloom.

They went to the second floor and carefully visited every room, the knights' quarters, the dining room, the kitchen, the laundry, etc., and through the window on the second floor, Arya saw a number of plainclothes knights behind the manor, turning the ground with hoes.

"Sir Percival, are they turning the ground?" Arya stood by the window, looking at Percival.

"Yes, after ploughing the ground, fertilizing and sowing seeds, and watering on time, you can harvest vegetables in the fall. I have advocated that even if there is no war, everyone in the Order should live a life of full self-discipline. Percival explained to her.

"Huh? It turned out to be like this...... "It's amazing, everyone in the Knights, and Parcival as the leader...... Arya turned her head to look at the young men who were talking and laughing while they were turning over the ground.

"Sister Arya! Are you going to visit the third floor? Peake happily jumped up to Arya and asked.

"Huh? Third floor? Arya and Anne winked.

"The third floor is the living floor of the Knights' Leader, that is, Brother Pat's exclusive living floor!"

"Hey......!?" Listening to Pique's words, Arya's face instantly turned crimson, she put her hands on her chest, and took a few steps back in fright, Anne stood aside, squinting at her with a forced smile.

"Peake, you've scared Miss Arya." Percival cast a serious look at him, gently reprimanded, and Pique knew that he was wrong, he drooped his head and obediently retreated behind Percival.

"Miss Arya, fear not, my living room is no different from the quarters of the other knights you have visited, except for the addition of a study and a lounge. If you find it inconvenient, then we will go directly to the places outside the manor, the stables or the arsenal, whatever you are interested in. Percival walked up to Arya and whispered apologetically.

"No, it's okay, Pique said that, I'm also curious about what the work life of the head of the Order is like, if you don't mind, can you please take a look?" Arya asked with a polite smile.

I looked around from the first floor to the second floor, but I couldn't find where the notice was, and I didn't even see the flag of the regiment commander! How could I go! Arya protested aloud in her heart.

"Okay, please come with me." Percival led the way.

They went to the third floor and entered the first room on the left, where they were greeted by a window with dark red curtains on both sides, and on the left side of the window was a wooden bookshelf taller than an adult.

To the right of the window is a matching wooden table and chair, with an extinguished oil lamp on the edge of the tabletop, and on the left is a pile of what appears to be official documents written in letters, with covered inkwells and quills on them. On the right side of the table top is a small golden pedestal, on which is a small golden triangular flag with several golden flowers embroidered on the flag.

"Sir Percival, what is that?" Arya's eyes lit up and she pointed her finger at the little flag.

"It is the personal flag representing the head of the Knights of the Fervent Order, it is a very important thing, sometimes during the war to convey important orders, but when he can't take his own time, the deputy head or other knights can hold it instead of conveying the orders of the head of the regiment." Percival picked up the flag and handed it to Arya.

"Wow, that sounds amazing!" Arya looked down at the flag in her hand, and praised it. Got it! Her heart welled up with joy, and she raised her head and asked, "I heard that the flower on this flag is a gorse, right?" ”

That's when Peake jumped out and proudly replied to her, "Yes! Sister Arya! The flower language of Plantagenet is elegant and neat, humble and humble, representing the personal conduct of the head of the regiment like this Plantagenet! ”

"I see." Arya returned the banner to Percival. Strange, what about the notice letter!? She thought with a slight frown.

As they came out of the study and were about to walk to the lounge, Anne suddenly tripped over the red carpet on the floor and fell to the ground.

"Ahh Anne fell to the ground holding the bouquet.

"Annie!? Are you okay! Arya immediately crouched down and eagerly lifted her up.

"Miss Anne! Doesn't it matter?! Percival and Pique also hurried over.

"No, I'm fine, I just fell and didn't get hurt." Anne explained to them with a smile, then looked at Arya, "It's good that the flowers didn't crush." ”

"I said you... It's like a fool......" Arya whispered with a displeased face, obviously she had fallen, and she was going to care about the flowers! After pulling Anne up from the ground, she bent down and carefully patted Anne off her skirt.

"What is this? Didn't we ask the owner to send a card? Peake noticed a white card with a dark blue ribbon falling out of the flower, and he picked it up and looked at its contents in confusion, and then exclaimed, "Ah! Brother Pat! This one! Look at this!! ”

"What's wrong?" Parcival took the card, looked down, and immediately frowned, and his face became grim.

Actually hiding here!? It's so dangerous, I almost took it back! Arya and Anne looked at each other helplessly.

"What's the matter, Sir Percival?" Arya asked with a wink.

"This is a crime prophecy for the strange thief Rose-Marie, who is going to steal the leader's personal flag from me tomorrow night." Percival frowned and looked at them with a serious face: "I'm sorry, two young ladies, I'm afraid I can't invite you to visit for the past two days." ”

"It's okay, I know, then we'll go back first, you don't have to send us, you guys come on!" Arya waved goodbye to the two of them and walked downstairs with Anne.
