The next afternoon.

At 2:45 a.m., Lowe rode in Warrent's carriage to the corner near Medwell Manor.

"Turn right from here and walk two hundred meters ahead to the gate of the manor."

Warrent lay down on the chair of the carriage and stretched comfortably. Looks like he slept comfortably last night.

"Thank you." Lowe stepped out of the carriage, then remembered something, turned his head to look at Warrent, and asked, "Is this tea party also within your surveillance?" ”

"Theoretically, yes."

"Theoretically?"

Lowe noticed his deliberate diction.

Warrent glanced at him, "Do you know who lives in the manor?" ”

Lowe shook his head.

Maple Frost White Leaf Boulevard is the quintessential affluent area, where the wealthiest people in all of Vito live. How could he know this, just a civilian?

"If you don't know, forget it. In short, I would like to give you a suggestion to pay more attention to your demeanor. It's good for your future. ”

With that, Warrent closed the carriage door and squinted his eyes for a nap.

What Riddler...... Lowe muttered in his mind and turned in the direction of the manor.

……

Yvette was waiting at the gate of the manor early.

Seeing Luo Wei coming to the front, the girl saluted with a smile on her face.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Austin."

"You're so beautiful today, Yvette. The god of beauty must be very fond of you. Luo Wei praised it sincerely, and then spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that Belinda can't feast her eyes, she chooses to stay at home." ”

"You don't have to feel sorry for this, this result is kind of what I expected." Yvette smiled with a "sure enough" expression, and turned to lead him into the manor.

Lowe originally wanted to praise the manor for its generosity, but after following Yvette for a short time, he was already dizzy and lost his sense of direction.

The good reviews in my heart turned into bad reviews.

Who has built their home like a labyrinth? The first time someone who is not familiar comes in, I am afraid that they will think that they have encountered a ghost hitting the wall.

Ten minutes later.

When Lowe followed Yvette to the back garden, he suddenly found that all the people attending the tea party were girls.

"Isn't it......"

It turns out that this "Black Rose" association is actually a girls' club?

Luo Wei faintly felt worried.

As a civilian male who is not well-dressed, wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to rashly appear in the place of upper-class girls?

Although his appearance is very good, sometimes, his appearance cannot solve all problems.

"Why didn't you tell me that you only have girls in this association?" Lowe asked in a low voice.

"Forget, hee-hee."

Yvette seemed to have just noticed the problem, and turned her head and grimaced.

The eyes of the girls in the field had converged, and Luo Wei could clearly feel that these eyes contained a lot of curiosity, doubt, and even rejection.

"Let's go, let's go, it's coming." Yvette was slightly embarrassed and walked towards the crowd.

"We've waited a minute for you, Ms. Lane."

As they approached, a girl in a long crimson dress spoke.

Lowe looked at it.

The girl wore a white-brimmed top hat in the shape of a droplet, and the crown of the hat was a red and white rose, surrounded by crimson and black feathers, which looked noble and elegant.

"As the founder of the association, you should pay more attention to managing your own time."

Yvette raised her eyebrows and retorted with a polite smile: "Maybe you should reflect more, whether the servants who pruned the shrubs and gardens were assigned too much work by you, causing them to trim the courtyard into a labyrinth?" ”

She turned to look at Lowe: "This is the youngest daughter of Count Fersen, Alyssa Fersen. ”

…… I feel that the smell of gunpowder is a little strong.

Despite thinking so, Luo Wei bowed and saluted to show respect.

"Yvette, ...... this gentleman?"

At the nearest table, a girl in a lilac dress asked curiously.

"This is Lowe Austin, and I have invited an important guest for today's gathering." Yvette immediately introduced to everyone, "I'm going to share with you later, what an amazing thing Mr. Austin and his tarot cards are!" ”

You didn't ventilate in advance at both ends!

Lowe Pain Mask. It's embarrassing, no one knows anyone, and they don't know what they're doing...... It's so easy to misunderstand.

He played Yvette a brain in his heart: This girl is not reliable......

Seeing everyone looking at him, Luo Wei smiled slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect today's meeting to be a special session for ladies, and it was rude to come rashly." ”

Immediately there was a lot of talk in the crowd.

"'Sorry'? It would be a real faux pas to use such rudimentary language in a formal setting. ”

"This is supposed to be a civilian accent, right?" I'm sorry, I haven't heard that in a long time. ”

"I have the impression that there is a person named Belinda in the school, is it also surnamed Austin? Are they family? ”

"Probably yes, right? Belinda is from a civilian background, and she was recruited to Jotun College because she was admitted to the top ten in Vito City. ”

These quiet, but undisguised discussions, all fell into Luo Wei's ears.

He listened silently, but he didn't feel angry.

Because these girls were discussing in a very normal tone, as if they were talking about normal things like eating and drinking.

If I have to say it, maybe this is a direct manifestation of the so-called "class sense".

These aristocratic ladies have become accustomed to using "origin" as a daily conversation - a simple guess will show that Belinda has heard similar discussions many times in school.

Luo Wei suddenly understood why his sister was reluctant to come to such an occasion: the children of poor families appeared here, and immediately became the center of the conversation, like a circus monkey, publicly judged by others.

It's a really bad experience.

"Alright." Alyssa, who was sitting at the top, clapped her hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Anyway, we've been delayed for a long time. It is better to start the rally as early as possible. ”

The girls, apparently taking Elisa as the presiding officer of the assembly, sat up straight in silence.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Austin." Alyssa turned her head to look at Luo Wei, her eyes drooping, "For now, 'Black Rose' is still limited to women's associations, so the topics we set up for this meeting are all more private women's topics. So could you please stay out of the way and wait? We'll welcome you back after these topics are over......"

Her attitude was modest and polite, but her tone was unmistakable.

Lowe certainly understood what Alyssa meant.

He was also happy to leave for a while, after all, his cheeks had not yet reached the thickness of the city wall, and he could sit in the middle of a group of aristocratic young girls without changing his face like the protagonist of an online novel, talking and laughing left and right.

"I'm sorry for your help in showing you where to go."

Lowe gave a brief salute and followed a maid out of the back garden.

He made his way through the winding walkway and into the interior of the villa.

"Mr. Austin? It's an honor to meet you! ”

As soon as he stepped into an elegant reception room, Lowe heard someone greet him.

He lifted his gaze and saw familiar faces.

"Are you...... Miss Yvette's housekeeper? ”

Luo Wei was surprised to meet him here, and immediately relieved: as the second lady of the earl's family, Yvette must be accompanied by a trusted person when she goes out.

"My surname is MacDonald, you can just call me Old Mac. Mademoiselle likes to call me that on weekdays. The butler laughed happily.

"'Old Mai' sounds very kind." Lowe laughed as well.

What he was thinking in his heart was, is the spelling of this "MacDonald" the same name as the golden arch in his previous life?

A maid provided tea and meals for the two.

Lowe did not refuse.

Toivert's blessing, he tasted the high-end dim sum afternoon tea of another world for the first time.

After eating and drinking, the two chatted casually. Perhaps because he didn't sleep at noon, the warm sunlight through the window at this time, Luo Wei quickly fell asleep.

After a moment of confusion, he fell asleep like this.

He also had a dream in which he dreamed of a delicate floor-to-ceiling mirror and seemed to hear some strange whispers......

I don't know how long it took, Luo Wei, who was sleeping soundly, woke up at the call of the housekeeper Lao Mai.

“？！”

Lowe sat up abruptly. Lamps and candles were already lit inside, and it was already dark outside the window.

Lao Mai sat on the chair next to him, looking like he wanted to say something.

"Old Mai, how long have I been asleep? What time is it? ”

"Eight thirty-two p.m., Mr. Austin." Old Mai smiled awkwardly, "The dinner party at the Earl's house has begun, and they asked me to wake you up and ask you to attend." ”

The butler pointed to the door of the parlor, where a servant was standing quietly waiting.

…… Banquet?

Eight thirty?

Luo Wei had a question mark: This group of girls has a tea party, from three o'clock in the afternoon to half past eight in the evening? Is this a tea party, or a cram school?

And outrageously......

After finishing it, you will start the meal directly, and you will be forgotten about it?

Luo Wei's face suddenly darkened.

"Miss came to see you just now, and she asked me to help convey her apologies." Lao Mai said, "During the tea party, there was a young lady who showed some kind of spiritual magic, and everyone was very interested and competed to learn for a long time, so it took a lot of time......

"Before, would it be so late for them to end?" Lowe asked.

"Never." Lao Mai shook his head, "It was basically over around five o'clock in the afternoon. ”

“……”

Mr. Butler noticed Lowe's gloomy look. He immediately spoke, "Mr. Austin, the dinner has begun, and I think the ladies are still waiting for you at this moment......

"Okay, I'll go."

Lowe looked up, smiled politely, and followed the maid who was waiting at the door to leave and go to the dining room.
