As the head of the temple family, Leon is in a high position, and he can get connections and information that Roy can't easily understand, and he also sees the situation in Sidenia more thoroughly.

After chatting for a long time, Roy already had a plan in his heart, and Leon got up and said goodbye: "It's not too early, so I won't disturb your rest." ”

Roy nodded and sent him to the manor gate.

Seeing the Paladin family's carriage leave, Roy let out a sigh of relief, turned his head to Arya and said, "Let's go back." ”

"Hmm." Arya nodded.

At this moment, Renaud walked out of the mansion quickly, looked at the back of the carriage in the distance, and asked, "Lord Leon has left?" ”

"Yes." Roy asked, "Did you forget to tell him something?"

"Not really."

Renault shook his head, "It's just that the distinguished guests left, and the host's family didn't go out to see off the guests, which is a bit unruly." ”

"I'll send it the same." Roy laughed.

"Yes."

Renault nodded, looked at Roy carefully, and sighed, "I haven't seen the young man for a while, and my feelings have changed a lot, Roy, let's talk later." ”

Arya understood and said softly, "Young Master, I'll go clean the bedroom first." ”

Roy nodded and went with Renault to his study.

The study is on the second floor of the manor, and there is an eye-catching golden trophy on the desk, next to the trophy is a silk towel, and the window of the study is open.

This trophy is the freshman Dabi trophy that Roy's team got before, and this trophy is too bulky to carry around, so it was temporarily handed over to Renault for safekeeping.

The surface of the trophy is spotlessly polished and almost reflective, which is enough to prove Renault's love for the trophy.

It seems that just now, he was wiping the trophy in the study, and then saw Roy and them leave the mansion through the window, and then hurried downstairs to see off the guests.

"It's not easy for you to win the trophy of this competition, right?"

Renault put on leather gloves and carefully stroked the trophy, as if touching a precious fragile object, and his expression was full of emotion.

"Actually, it's fine."

"Don't be so careful, it's just a normal gold trophy, it's not a big deal." ”

Renault had a serious expression: "Although I have never been to watch the battle, it is important to ask Lord Lyon to ask me to hold a celebration banquet, which shows that this game is anything but ordinary."

"This is your honor, and it is the honor of the Arnold family, and of course it must be kept properly.

"Someday, you'll have to let your children and grandchildren see these things, so that they can aim for you and become a powerful inheritor!"

"Future generations?" Roy couldn't laugh or cry, he really couldn't keep up with Renault's jumping brain circuit.

However, he can also understand his father's feelings now, although it is not difficult for him to win, but in Renault's opinion, it is a great achievement worthy of being celebrated by future generations of the family!

The Arnold family has not had an inheritor for three generations, and he, Renault, as an ordinary person, can't even enter the Inheritor Academy to watch his son's game.

However, Roy not only became the inheritor, but also won the championship of the Inheritor Academy competition, and when he learned the good news, he suddenly felt that he had no regrets in his life.

With this son, what more can a husband ask for?

Renault put the trophy in the glass cabinet with great care, and then admonished:

"I've heard that this tournament is a team competition, and your teammates are also very good for winning the competition.

"You have to entertain them well in the past two days, remember not to be complacent, you need to know that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky......"

His father's teachings were as long as ever, and Roy smiled without interrupting, saying "yes yes" in his mouth, and chatting with him without a word.

When he was a child, he didn't know anything about this whole new world.

It was Renault who held the young man in his arms and pointed to the textbook to teach him word by word and pronunciation.

At that time, Roy used to think that Renault was a knowledgeable scholar.

And now that he has grown up, from his current point of view, Renault, as an ordinary person, has not been exposed to the world of inheritors, in fact, his vision is very limited.

What had been taught to him before was nothing more than common knowledge that every nobleman knew, and the content was not much more esoteric than the general general education courses taught in elementary colleges.

The big reason he is talking about now is the "nonsense" he has heard calluses in his ears for more than ten years.

However, Roy did not show any impatience, and even felt a little nostalgic in his heart.

I miss the carefree childhood when I used to live with my father.

Maybe many years from now, he will be in a high position, and he will see all the prosperity of the world.

But even so, he thought, this time alone with his father should become one of the most precious memories of his life.

However, Renaud on this side also understood that Roy was no longer a child, and after saying a few words, he waved his hand and said:

"Alright, you should go back and rest early, don't keep Arya waiting.

"With such a talent, and you are willing to listen to my nagging, you can be regarded as filial!"

Roy smiled and waved at him, turned and left the study, then hummed a little song and walked briskly to his bedroom.

Ever since he and Arya had been living here for a while half a year ago, that room had become their exclusive bedroom.

Even if they didn't live in it again, the bedroom remained and no one else lived in it.

And speaking of that bedroom...... There are a lot of fond memories of him and Arya.

Roy walked to the bedroom door, pushed it open, and saw Arya with her back to him, leaning against the windowsill with her chin propped up and looking at the stars.

The bedroom had been cleaned long before they arrived, so her maid job was over early, waiting for Roy to come back so that the lights could be turned off and bed.

"Young Master!"

Seeing Roy coming over, Arya turned around and asked with a smile, "Are you done talking to Uncle Renault?" ”

"Hmm."

Roy nodded, leaning against the windowsill with Arya, "Do you want to know what we all talked about?" ”

"I ......"

Arya's tone was a little tangled, as if she was hesitating whether she should continue to ask.

"Don't you want to?" Roy held her little hand in her hand and played back and forth.

Arya's hands weren't as cold and weak as those of the pampered boudoir lady.

Her hands were warm and elastic, though they had developed some calluses after the formal training of the Order.

But the frosted subtle touch is not only uncomfortable, but can appreciate her silent efforts and dedication on weekdays, and has a little more pity for this strong girl.

However, she didn't seem to think so, and after being touched by Roy's cocoon in her hand, she was a little nervous and wanted to retract her hand.

It's just that under the clamp of Roy's "devil's claw", Arya, who struggled to no avail, had no choice but to give up the plan to withdraw her hand, and said in a low voice:

"That'...... What did you all talk about? ”

Although she felt that a serious maid should not intend to intend in her master's household affairs, curiosity finally prevailed over reserve.

I'm not nosy! She convinced herself inwardly.

He brought it up in front of me to let me know what the conversation was about, right?

Looking at Arya, who was so entangled in a little thing, Roy shook his head with a smile.

Everything was good during his time with Arya, but occasionally, as he is now, he is confused by Arya's unintentional "sense of distance".

This sense of distance comes from the etiquette that Arya had to follow when she was a maid.

Obviously, she was already a detached knight of the law, but when she talked to Leon just now, she was only listening, and she barely spoke or expressed her own opinions during the whole process.

If Leon and Roy hadn't taken the initiative to ask Arya for her opinion on some topics, she might have really become an outsider.

It seems that as long as she stays by Roy's side, she will substitute herself into the role of a maid who is in her own right.

Because for the maid, you only need to take care of the living life of the master's family and follow the instructions of the master's family.

A maid who likes to gossip about the private affairs of the master's family and has too many opinions is not a good maid.

Although it is really exciting to play "Master and Servant PLAY" occasionally...... But as the relationship deepens, sometimes he also hopes that Arya can be more coquettish to him and show more of his girlfriend's side.

No, to be more rigorous, it's not the girlfriend's side, but the fiancée's side.

After all, the marriage contract has been made public.

"My father said that I should thank my teammates a lot to win this competition."

Roy looked at Arya seriously, "Among them, the one I want to thank the most is you, Arya.

"Without you, it would have been extremely difficult for us to defeat the Zorn team."

His words are not polite, but from the heart.

Although the Heart of God could speed up his cultivation, it had only been more than half a year since he fused the Heart of God after all.

Coupled with his talent for dual inheritance, he needs to light up two inheritance ladders at the same time, so it takes twice as long to advance as others.

This makes it so that in the final, his real strength is still one order inferior to Zorn.

If it weren't for Arya using Joyeul to get him up, it would have been much more difficult for him to single-handedly take on Zorn, and he would even have to use the power of the Godheart.

In addition, it is precisely because of the various buffs brought by Arya that Harvey was able to have an excellent performance in the finals.

Otherwise, with his second-order strength, he would probably only become a bastard in the finals of the third-order with all the guaranteed bottoms.

Although Roy is the well-deserved MVP of this freshman competition, in his eyes, Arya is the real uncrowned king.

"Say something to me, thank you......"

In the face of Roy's face-to-face praise, Arya blushed and lowered her head a little embarrassed.

"I'm already happy to be able to help everyone."

"Humility is a virtue, but being too modest is not beautiful." Roy rubbed her head, "This is a well-deserved compliment, thank you, Arya." ”

"Hmmm......"

Arya leaned lightly against his chest and said softly, "Thank you for being by my side all the time, young master. ”

Roy looked down at her, as if sensing his gaze, and Arya looked up.

The bright moon by the window reflected on the side of her face, smeared on her blown-up lips, and a starlight was reflected in her dark green eyes.

Roy slowly lowered his head and said softly, "My father also told me that he hopes that my children and grandchildren can also learn from me and strive to obtain the same honor for the family in the future."

"But I don't have any offspring, Arya, what do you say is going to do with that?"

Arya blinked, her hands took the initiative to climb Roy's waist, her lips pressed to his ear, and her voice was so soft that it was crisp:

"That'...... Is there anything I can do to help you?

"Young Master?"

……

It wasn't until noon the next day that Roy got up lazily, and after lunch, he went to the courtyard to drink afternoon tea leisurely.

At the end of September, when the sun was still fierce and harsh, Arya thoughtfully erected a parasol next to the chaise longue, and then opened the insulated box next to it, where some crushed ice cubes were stored.

Although it was tea time, they didn't drink tea, but a cold drink.

Arya made a pot of iced plum soup and sat down next to Roy, and the two of them drank drinks and read books and chatted.

The yard is surrounded by flower beds and trees that have been carefully tended by the gardeners, and the environment is beautiful, and the accustomed breeze rustles the leaves, while also sending a faint fragrance of flowers into their nostrils.

Being in the garden and having a beautiful woman as your companion is already a great pleasure for this era, right?

After a while, a carriage stopped at the gate of the manor, and a middle-aged man in a white robe stepped out of the carriage.

He glanced towards the manor, and when he saw Roy and Arya, who were enjoying the shade in the courtyard, his eyes lit up, and he said a few words to the guard at the door.

The guard then came over to Roy for instructions: "Young Master, a guest has come to you, and he says his name is Des Moine Ellan. ”

It's someone from the Erlan family, Roy knew it in his heart, put down the book in his hand and straightened up: "Please come over." ”

Yesterday he had confirmed with Leon that if someone from the Ellan family came to him, he could invite him to the manor.

As for the people of the other forces, if it is not necessary, Leon will help him to resign.

The middle-aged man named Des Moines walked briskly, his pale golden pupils and his last name revealing how extraordinary he was.

"When we first met, my name was Des Moin Ayrland, and I belonged to the Temple Scepter."

Des Moines stretched out his hand with a smile, "Roy, do you have time to talk to me?" ”

Roy reached out and shook it back: "Just free, let's talk." ”

Des Moines nodded, then looked at Arya: "I didn't expect the knight of the Holy Knights to be here, Lord Arya, can I say a few words alone with Roy?" ”

His wording is quite exquisite, and Roy is still a student at the Inheritor Academy, so he refers to Roy as a "classmate".

And because Arya has joined the Holy Knights, she is addressed as "Your Excellency" at the same level.

Arya nodded, and was about to get up to leave, but Roy held her hand and said calmly:

"Your Excellency just speaks, your own people, out of the way."

Des Moines's gaze wandered over the two of them for a while, and he smiled: "I have long heard that the two have a marriage contract, so when I think about it, I really don't need to avoid suspicion."

"Maybe you've already guessed my intentions this time. I have come to invite you as an emissary of the Ellan family. ”

Des Moines looked at Roy with blazing eyes.

"Roy, are you interested in joining our Ellan family?"
