As soon as he entered the Lord's Mansion, Evan saw that Deloris and Count Morol were both sitting in the hall, as if discussing something.

Smack, Evan slapped his forehead, it's over, I haven't bought the delicious food I promised Delores, and I'm busy with ordnance today. Seeing Evan come in, Deloris immediately burst into laughter.

"Delores, I forgot to buy the delicious one, can you make it up next time." Evan said with some embarrassment.

Seeing Evan's rare embarrassed appearance, the slight resentment in Delores's heart immediately disappeared, but if it was so simple to forgive, he would definitely secretly rejoice.

"Okay, but I'll make up double."

Double, can you finish it? Evan hid his face, but he took care of his own losses, and agreed to Delores's small request.

"Aiwen, go back early, there will be a lot of things after that, and I don't know when I will be able to go back and see." The Count of Morol coughed, and slowly went upstairs, leaving room for the two of them.

After seeing the Earl of Morlore leave, Deloris whispered to Aven, "Do I need to bring any gifts with me when I go back to Hull with you?"

Evan smiled and said, "I don't think so. After all, I've brought the gift my father wants to see the most."

Deloris was slightly distracted, and quickly reacted, pounced on her teeth and claws, and pinched Aven's face with both hands, "I'm not a gift!"

Evan grinned, reached out and hugged Delores, taking her into his arms. At this time, Deloris felt that she had been fooled and wanted to break free from Aven's arms, but how could Aven let her get her wish.

The so-called support the bold and starve the cowardly, even if he would rather die today, he should not be a starving ghost.

"Eh, this is the hall of the Lord's Palace, and someone else will come in at that time." Deloris said with some panic.

"What are you afraid of, it's so late, who will come, as long as you don't shout and bring in your father-in-law and the soldiers." Evan didn't care at all, now that the entire Middlesex nobles knew about the engagement, even if it was seen, it wouldn't have any bad effects.

The Count of Morlore, upstairs, shook his head slightly as he listened to the occasional frolic downstairs. Although he is not an outsider, he is also an elder, and today's young people are not reserved in front of their elders?

In the end, Evan was persuaded by Delores to bring some products from the city of London as gifts and hurried towards home.

Rattle, the horses galloped along the forest path, bringing up clouds of dust. Coming out of the city of London, Evan and Deloris hurried away, and if it weren't for the speed of the carriage, they might have gone faster.

Two days later, they were far from the city of London and were approaching the border of the Barony of Hull.

Evan slowed down at this time, and stopped from time to time to watch. This made Deloris a little confused, shouldn't she rush to Hull Castle in one breath and then have a good rest?

"Aven, our speed seems to be much slower than the previous few days." Deloris whispered.

"Do you want to ask me why I was so quick at the beginning, but now it's as slow as a turtle?"

Deloris bowed slightly, she looked at Aven beside her, and always felt that his emotions seemed to contain some kind of complex emotions, some expectations, some joy, some sadness, and a little worry.

"When I was in London, I always wanted to get home soon, so I kept my head down and hurried. But when I got to the door, I was worried that I would be away from home for too long. Everything has changed at home, and I'm worried about hearing any bad news, so I've been walking very slowly for the last few days. I'm afraid it's hard for anyone else to understand this complicated feeling except myself."

Evan sighed, not far away, is the outermost village of the Barony of Hull, as long as you pass through this village, you will soon be able to return to Hull Castle.

This time I was away from home for only a month or two, and I was very homesick, and if I went to the Barony of Laques in the future, God knows when I would be able to return home.

Deloris pursed the corners of her lips and thought for a long time before she said, "Aven, I've always felt that what separates people is never distance, but heart. Even if the distance is at the end of the world, you can still get together. But there is a gap in my heart, so even if these two people rely on each other again, there will be no communication."

Evan looked at Delores in surprise. It's not unusual for him to say such things, but Deloris is still a fifteen-year-old child after all, and it is not easy to have such an understanding.

Delores seemed to recall something, and she poured out with some sadness, "The relatives who used to have a good relationship with our family have not been in contact with each other since my father inherited the position of Earl of Middlesex. I asked my father why, and he just sighed and said they were not feeling well."

"The more power you have, the fewer trusted and friends you have. When you reach the pinnacle of power, you feel unusually lonely and never go back to the old days."

Evan was very familiar with Count Morlor's situation, because not only the Earl's family, but also theirs.

After his father became a baron, Uncle Abru became eager to gain some power from his father's side. After being rejected, he hoped to use the marriage method to realize his wishes, as if he had changed people, and the family affection in the past seemed to have never existed.

What was originally a happy and pleasant journey seems to have hit rock bottom. The beautiful scenery on the side of the road is no longer as charming as it began to be, and even the sun in the sky feels dignified, and quietly hides in the quilt, for fear of disturbing the atmosphere below.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have upset the otherwise happy atmosphere by saying such sad things." Deloris said apologetically.

Evan grabbed the horse's reins, bringing the horse closer. He held out his right hand to Deloris and asked with a sincere face.

"Delores, no matter what happens in the future, will you be able to stay with me and walk with me?"

Deloris blushed slightly, looked at Aven, subconsciously raised her left hand, put it in his palm, and murmured, "I will definitely be by your side and face the trials of the future with you."

Father-in-law Sun scratched his head, poked out half of his red face from the heavy quilt, and stared at the promise of the two young men on the ground. After watching it for a while, it felt that it lacked a bit of atmosphere, so it hurriedly summoned its good friend Qingfeng and asked it to blow the surrounding trees, making a rustling sound, and offering the cheers of the audience to the two.

Aven, who received an affirmative answer, had a smile on his face, and he gently pecked the back of Delores' small hand.

"I would also like to be like a knight in a fairy tale, by the side of the princess in my mind."

"Nasty, you're like this again!" The girl's coquettish voice sounded on the path.

The boredom of the journey and the worry of homesickness were diluted a lot under the vignette. In the midst of the play, Evan and Delores re-accelerated and rushed to Hull.

When they were still a few hundred meters away from Hull Castle, Evan and Deloris saw Baron Ellus leading a dozen soldiers, waiting for them to arrive. They hurried forward and saluted Baron Ellus.

"Father, I've kept you waiting." "Hello Uncle Elruth."

Elrus patted his son on the shoulder with relief, and in his impression, his son seemed to have been born yesterday, and in a trance he had become a nobleman in Middlesex, and was engaged to the daughter of the Earl of Morlor.

"I just came out and happened to run into you. Dinner is ready, and you can have a full meal when you arrive. Delores, Hull is not as bustling as London. If there is any inappropriate hospitality, please forgive me." Elruth said with a smile.

"Uncle~ I'm not a princess, so what do you want." Delores's coquettish appearance also opened Aivan's eyes.

"Okay, I'll let Evan stay with you for the next few days. Whatever you want, ask him." Elluth laughed, his eyes slitted, and his face bloomed with joy.

Evan slapped his forehead, always feeling as if he had been bought by his father.

"Uncle Elruth, Evan has something to do when he comes back this time, and he has been with me to delay his business." Deloris said with wide eyes and some concern.

"This kid is fine, he doesn't do anything practical when he's at home, everything is not done by me or anyone else." Elruth was furious when he said this.

Deloris looked at Evan and smiled secretly, looking like she had caught the handle. This made Ai Wen feel helpless, his father was telling the truth, he was more often in charge of the overall command, confirming the direction of progress, and formulating relative rules. How to do it, many times, it is the father and other subordinates who are doing it, and they are not actually involved in it.

"Get on the horse, let's go, I think the others are in a hurry." Elruth waved his hand.

"Good!"

"Aven, do you have an appointment with Alice?" As he was on the way, Ellus approached his son and asked softly.

"No, we haven't been in touch for a long time. What did my father say about Alice?"

"And what did she come to you for?" When she arrives tomorrow, don't let Delores misunderstand." Elruth frowned, a solemn expression.

"Yes......"
