"Oh, Sveta, you're sweating on your forehead, I'll wipe it for you." Maru wore blush today, and wore a long red dress, the wide skirt made the skirt completely bloom, and it seemed to be more red than the blooming rose.

Sveta had just cut the branches and leaves of a rose in front of her, turned her head and glanced at Maru, a hint of discoloration flashed in her eyes, and at this moment the sunlight shone on the face of Maru, who was smiling gently, it was so holy, like an angel sent from heaven.

The words that he originally subconsciously refused came to his lips, but he couldn't say it, but nodded uncontrollably.

"Well, thank you, Marru." A smile tugged at the corner of Sveta's mouth.

The smile in Maru's eyes was faintly thicker, and some fleshy hands pinched the towel and gently wiped it on Sweet's face.

The two looked at each other, silent, and a different kind of emotion rose in their hearts.

"Great news, good news, great news!"

An ecstatic shout, sounded from the doorway, shattering the silence of the afternoon at Green Manor.

A sturdy and beautiful figure, running quickly through the manor, she is Vanessa's sister, Ellie. And as Ellie runs, the voice full of excitement continues to spread to all corners of the manor.

"Ellie, are you crazy? What kind of news makes you so out of shape! Vanessa looked at her own sister, holding a stack of broken wooden stakes from the training ground in one hand and a beautiful envelope in the other, and rebuked from the window on the fourth floor.

"Oh, Vanessa, Ellie's personality is already lively, you shouldn't suppress her, let her release her nature is more conducive to growth." Krina's room, she and Vanessa made an appointment to knit a sweater in the afternoon, looking at Vanessa in a purple dress lying by the window, Krina covered her mouth and smiled.

Vanessa turned around, smiled helplessly, shook her head, and said, "Klina, your suggestion is great, but she still can't make a fuss in the manor, at least her current status is not suitable." ”

Then she turned back and said to Ellie below, "What's in your hand?" ”

With her own eyes, she could see that it was not an item that could be obtained by Ellie's identity, and that the exquisite material was by no means an ordinary thing.

"This is the royal family's merit book, congratulations to our lord, on being promoted to marquis!"

Ellie looked up, and her voice rang out in a crisp, lively and excited voice.

At this moment, the entire manor fell silent, as if everything had lost its voice.

"What? Are you sure you're not kidding?! Oh my God, I won't forgive you for telling such a lie. Vanessa covered her mouth with her mouth slightly open, still not quite believing the sudden news. My father has only been away for a few months, so how did he become a marquis?

Krina didn't care about the sweater in her hand, her feet in white silk socks stepped on the light blue plush carpet, came behind Vanessa, looked out the window, and said in the same incredulity: "Vanessa, look, the things in her hand don't look like pretend, why don't we go down and have a look?" ”

"Yes, yes. What you're saying is, let's go down, and if it's true, don't be spoiled by the reckless Ellie. Vanessa turned around, took Krina's hand, and was about to leave the room.

"Wait, I haven't changed my shoes yet." Krina said in a helpless tone, then looked down at Vanessa's bare feet under the hem of her skirt, "You are the same, are you going to go on like this?" ”

"Oh, it's all my fault." Vanessa was stunned, brushed the hair on the side of her head and said in annoyance: "I'm really worried that Ellie will mess around, but I really hope that what she said is true, and my thoughts are a little confused." ”

Krina stepped forward with her pregnant belly, pulled out her hand and patted Vanessa on the back, and said with a smile: "Take it easy, it's okay." ”

Vanessa exhaled softly, "Thank you, Krena. ”

...

"Oh, I think I just heard... Ellie, that little girl said that the lord was promoted to marquis? Maru looked suspiciously in the direction of the castle and then at Sveta, "She's not joking, is she?" ”

The sweat stains on Sveta's face have been wiped off, his eyes are mixed with anticipation and surprise, the joy in his heart is like a branch swaying wildly under the storm, and his voice trembles and says: "I believe Ellie, she is not someone who can make such jokes, I have seen her growth in the past two years, what she said must be true!" ”

"Thank you, Mararu, but I'm going to visit Ellie now, and I'm sorry we can't continue to fulfill our promise - we'll prune this rose together this afternoon." Sveta looked at Maru and said apologetically.

"You are serious, the result is not important, what matters is the process. It's not necessarily a bad thing to put an agreement on for a little longer. Maru smiled.

"Okay, you have a point, then we'll move on to the next sunny day."

"Then I'm looking forward to the next sunny day." Maru folded the towel and said, "I'm going to hurry back to the kitchen, and if the news is true, I must prepare a big dinner tonight, right?" ”

"It doesn't have to be too rich, the lord is not here."

"So what standard is appropriate?"

"Except for the aquatic monsters, which can't move, the others are all random." Sveta said with a deep groan.

"Understood, go find Ellie, I'm going back to the kitchen." Maru urged Sveta to get down to business, and with that, she left the rose garden with her ass twisted.

Sveta stared at Maru's back, exhaled lightly, and sped up his pace towards the castle floor.

"Ellie, what's in your hand?"

Sveta, who hurried over, vaguely saw Ellie's figure, and the men and women who hurried over from all over the manor and the castle hall to surround Ellie.

Sveta, who noticed this phenomenon, clapped her hands, frowned and rebuked, "What are you all doing here?" Is the work done? I don't remember giving you the task of gossiping. ”

"Rachel, Bertha, Debbie, the manor's flower beds are a little messy again, hurry up and get them tidy again. Except, of course, that rose garden. ”

The three people whose names were called hurriedly left the crowd and said "Yes" in a humble voice. He ran away in a puff of smoke.

"Jenna, Janessa, Urarin, Maru is waiting for you in the kitchen, a new mission has been arranged, don't hurry over!"

"Oh, we got it, go now!" The voices of three more people came from the crowd and ran towards the castle.

Then the entire crowd began to disperse, fearing the majesty of Sveta and returning to their posts.

"Leo, Bella, you two don't go yet." Sveta looked at the two backs and beckoned.

"Mr. Sveta, what do you command?"

"You go to the cellar and bring a few more crates of red wine and fruit wine to the castle, yesterday I saw that the castle was running out of stock."

"Understood, we'll go now."

"Well, be careful not to make the same mistake as before – don't move the wrong box." Sveta said with a frown.

"We've marked it this time, and we can't go wrong!"

Seeing that the crowd was not far away, Sveta quickly thought about what other tasks needed to be arranged, but when the crowd dispersed and he couldn't think of anything, he nodded secretly and fell on Ellie: "Ellie, where did you get this thing?" ”

"Yes, I'm curious about this question as well. Ellie, where did the things in your hands come from? ”

At this moment, Vanessa's voice came from the castle, and she and Krina walked side by side, down the stairs of the castle, and along the stone path.

She walked over with a fragrant breeze and looked at Ellie with a scrutinizing gaze, but suddenly found that Ellie was almost as tall as her, and she could no longer look down on this sister as before.

And Ellie, who has a cheerful personality, shook the golden envelope in her hand, and the excellent material made it impossible to bend no matter how much she shook it.

"Hee-hee, it was given to me by someone from the royal family." Ellie smiled cheerfully.

"Where is the royal family, why didn't I see it?" Sveta asked keenly, with a hint of urgency in her tone. As a housekeeper, it would be a serious dereliction of duty not to greet an important guest.

"The royal family?" Vanessa exclaimed, "Ellie, have you met someone from the royal family?" ”

"That's right, I just went to Dark Eagle City to replenish the administrative office and happened to meet it. The royal family was in the administration office just now, talking to Ruilai. Ellie responded.

Sveta breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was fine, he almost thought that the royal family had just arrived at the gate of the manor, and he had missed it because of his tryst with Maru. On a hot day, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his cuffs.

"Well, it looks like you're not kidding, you can hand me the envelope, I'd love to see what's in it!" Vanessa smiled and reached out to get the golden envelope.

But Ellie dodged and blocked the envelope behind her.

Facing her sister's questioning gaze, Ellie shook her head and said, "Ruilai said that the first person to open the envelope can only be the lord, let me hand it over to Mr. Sveta for safekeeping." ”

Hearing this, Vanessa was stunned for a moment, and said apologetically: "It was me who was abrupt, indeed, only my father is qualified to open it with his own hands." ”

Ellie grinned, didn't take it to heart, and hopped up to Svita and handed the envelope with both hands.

"Hehe, Ellie, you're doing a great job." Sveta said with a smile, but with a careful movement of her hand, she tucked the envelope into her arms.

"Thanks for the compliment!" Ellie's eyes narrowed into crescents, and her short purple hair looked neat, and then she said, "I still need my help to escort the milk from the ranch, I need to hurry over!" ”

"Slow down on the road." Sveta casually instructed.

"Hmm!"

With that, Ellie turned and left.

"Ellie!" Looking at the back, Vanessa suddenly called out to her sister who was about to leave.

"Huh? What's wrong? Ellie turned her head and looked at her sister suspiciously, "Is there anything else?" ”

"No, nothing." Vanessa smiled, "You... Grew up. ”

Ellie was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and left a sentence "Hmph, I haven't changed!" Then he sped up and left.

...

As night fell, the city of Dark Eagle on the edge of the Dark Eagle Mountain Range was covered with a veil of night.

The Green Manor was brightly lit.

At this moment, a grand banquet was held on the wide lawn.

The men and maids sang and danced, Tucker mingled with the knights in the training grounds, and Rylai was surrounded by Thales and Mina, Klina, and Vanessa, in a lively and harmonious atmosphere.

Relai had been entertaining the messenger from the royal family in the afternoon, and had just returned to the manor.

Thales handed Raylai a bottle of apple juice, elated, with curiosity in his eyes, and asked, "Hey Raylai, what is the reason for my father's promotion to Marquis?" Did the man tell you in the afternoon? ”

kiss

The cork of the apple juice was uncorked, and a cold condensation condensed in Ruilai's hand, making it even more cold, and he took a big sip, and then looked around at the surrounding family, shook his head and said:

"The family doesn't need to expect any useful news from me, in fact, even the messenger, and even some members of the royal family, don't know what the reason for my father's promotion to marquis, only 'outstanding contribution to the country's diplomacy', but the specific behavior is unknown."

"Oh? Outstanding contribution to national diplomacy......" Thales muttered, lost in thought, staring directly at the apple juice bottles in Rylai's hand, his fingers unconsciously pulling the grass on the ground, pulling it off one by one, and throwing it aside.

Mina patted Thales on the back with her small hand, and said in her ear: "Thales, do you think it has something to do with the attack on the Ring Tower of the Rem Kingdom some time ago, and our country's holy realm went to support, because I heard that the relationship between the two countries has improved a lot since then." ”

"Huh? Reasonable! Thales' eyes lit up in amazement, though he couldn't figure out how his father had done it. But my father's impression was always that of greatness and omnipotence, and even when something incomprehensible happened, they instinctively believed it.

"Hmm... It seems that this is a real possibility. Raylai glanced at Thales and Mina, and despite the whispers, he heard them clearly.

Then he swept around, looked at the members of the territory who were gathered more than ten meters away, and said in a low voice: "Shh, then don't discuss this matter in public in the future, let's wait for my father to come back and then hear the real situation." ”

"Hey, no problem!" Thales laughed.

"So, Vanessa, I'll ask you to tell Tucker to stop talking......" Relai said with some unease as she looked at the campfire in the distance, the light of which was reflected on Tucker's face as he grinned and laughed.

Vanessa also had a headache with Tucker's temperament, and nodded helplessly, "Okay, I'll emphasize it to him." ”

"Hey, a few people, do you want to come and barbecue together on this happy day!"

Not long after the family finished discussing, Mycroft stepped on the lawn, smiling, and accompanied by Vicky, and the two walked side by side close to each other.

"Okay, I just came from Dark Eagle City, I haven't eaten for most of the day, and I'm a little hungry." Ruilai was the first to stand up, holding the apple juice that had not yet been drunk, "The current grill seems to be a little insufficient, I'll go and arrange for Sveta to prepare another one first." ”
