Chapter 104: 'Chance Encounter' (Subscription Requested!! )
"It's fine."
Ma Wei withdrew his gaze from Edward's eyes and threw the invitation on the counter: "Your letter." ”
"My letter?"
The source picked up the invitation and was confused, with his current status, how could he have acquaintances in London?
Tearing off the paint, the communication took out a piece of stationery from the invitation, and carefully read the handwriting on the subject, his eyes widening and his expression becoming more and more strange.
"Miss Helena.... I was invited to a wine tasting this evening at the Marquis de Brecken's house. ”
The source handed the invitation to Ma Wei, and his tone was extremely surprised: "I just watched Miss Helena's performance at the Covent Theater, and I told her a few words, this invitation..."
"That's right, it was sent by the eldest prince."
"What is he trying to do?"
"Stir up a relationship between you and me." Ma Wei said disapprerovingly: "According to normal people's thinking, I, who have taken refuge in the second prince, will definitely not agree to you to participate in the banquet held by the eldest prince's faction, which is called avoiding suspicion." ”
"But you and Miss Helena have been very close these days, and the eldest prince judged that you were pursuing Helena, so he sent an invitation in her name, wanting me to stop you."
"If I succeed in stopping you, then you, who are pursuing Helena, will be more or less emotional, and if I don't stop you, it will also make the second prince suspicious of me, no matter what the situation, it will be beneficial to the eldest prince."
"That...."
The communication licked his lips: "Shall I go or not?" ”
"Do you want to go?"
"I can go or not!" The source shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent: "Originally, this invitation was not given to me by Miss Helena, and I didn't have any psychological pressure at all. ”
"Then you can go."
"But didn't you just say that if I attended this banquet, would it make the second prince suspicious of you?"
"I'll solve it on the second prince's side, your task is to break into the camp of the eldest prince, and it's best to use this tasting to become a member of the Nightingale Club." Ma Wei said: "We not only have to deal with the kingdom, but also investigate the forces of the ancient gods, and the reconciliation problem in the middle, I will figure out a way, you just have to go, and I will leave the rest." ”
"Okay, I'll go change my clothes, and let's go."
"Hmm."
After the communication went upstairs, Edward, who had been silent, asked, "You are his superior, shouldn't he obey your orders?" ”
"He did follow my orders, but I didn't treat him as a subordinate."
"And what do you take him for?"
"Davaris, comrade."
Ma Wei stretched, got up and patted Edward's shoulder: "Including you, you are also a comrade in my heart." ”
Retrieve the blackboard outside the door, close the door of the store, Ma Wei ended the day's business, but sold a lot of things today, Helena hired the head maid to buy all the 10 sleeping bread that Ma Wei prepared today, not only that, but also bought a few copies of mercury blood and itchy chocolate, and the payment was also very refreshing, and there was no credit payment.
Today's turnover: 260 gold pounds.
Twenty minutes later, the communication changed into a tuxedo for the banquet, changed into a bowler hat, and left through the back door with a walnut cane and rode in a carriage to the Marquis de Brecken's villa in Hampstead Greens.
Hampstead Greens is located in the suburbs of London, where the scenery is beautiful, the air is clean, and the pollution is not bad, making it one of the most popular outing spots for London residents.
At the same time, there are many villas of the new aristocracy around Hampste Greenland, London is an ancient city with a long history, especially the rapid development in the past two thousand years, the aristocrats who continue to appear, have occupied the best mansions in the city, and the new aristocrats who made a fortune behind had to go to the suburbs to build their own new residences, replacing the traditional city villas, and enjoying the power and life belonging to the nobility.
The Marquess of Brecon is an emerging aristocrat who has risen in the past decade, not only has a villa in the city of London, but also built a house in the hot Hampstead Greens, where he often holds banquets, after all, the city is so polluted that it is difficult to enjoy the fresh air of the suburbs.
In the evening.
Along the muddy road, a carriage swayed to a splendid three-story villa, inside the towering iron gate, the guards carried guns and led the hounds to patrol, and the guards in charge of checking the visitors looked at the invitation handed out of the car window, turned around and raised their arms, and let them pass.
In the courtyard, the main entrance of the villa was full of horse-drawn carriages, and guests stepped down from the carriages, familiar greetings, all of them were familiar faces, and they all appeared at the New Year's dinner a few days ago.
When the communication got out of the carriage and walked towards the gate with his cane, many people looked at him, and when they saw the communication's appearance, they were amazed, as if they had seen some strange creature.
"Mr. Felix!"
The Marquis of Brecken, who was standing at the door to greet the guests, saw the communication and greeted him warmly, "It's great that you can come!" I've heard that you have a lot of experience in wine tasting, and I've been looking forward to you! ”
Looking at the short middle-aged man with a fat face and small eyes and a curly mustache in front of him, the message smiled and said, "Thank you for the invitation, has Miss Helena arrived?" ”
"It's here!" The Marquis of Brecon smiled and said, "She's waiting for you in the lounge!" I'll let the maid take you there! ”
The Marquis of Brecon waved his arm, and immediately a maid who was waiting by the door stepped forward, bowed and said:
"Please follow me."
The communication raised his hat and saluted the Marquis de Brecken, followed the maid into the palatial villa, and soon came to the lounge on the first floor.

There were no other guests in the lounge, and the Marquis de Brecon seemed to have prepared this secluded room for the communication, and Helena, dressed in a beige evening gown, stood in front of the window, looking out at the dark and oppressive sky, looking worried and uneasy.
Hearing the sound of the door opening behind her, Helena quickly turned around, and when she saw that the communication had arrived as scheduled, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she was a little happy, but then her eyes darkened again.
"Mr. Felix, you shouldn't have come.... If you come, Mr. Nicholas will be in trouble. ”
"But if I don't come, what will you do Miss Helena?"
The source took off his hat, smiled, reached behind Helena's ear, snapped his fingers, and a red rose appeared.
"For you."
"Thank you...."
Helena took the rose, her slender fingers caressing the delicate petals, and her eyes darkened, "I don't deserve to be treated like this, Mr. Felix." ”
"That's what I want to do, Miss Helena, because I want to, so I'm here, and if you hate it, I'm leaving."
Helena shook her head vigorously and pursed her lips, not daring to look the communication in the eyes.
"You're here, what are you going to do with Mr. Nicholas?"
"My eldest brother Taji has his own natural appearance, he wanted to go to sea back then, and he survived the shipwreck, and this little thing couldn't stop him."
Looking at Helena, the communication suddenly said, "You are beautiful tonight. ”
"Really?"
Helena raised her head, and a smile finally appeared on her slightly haggard face: "I've been dressed up for a long time!" ”
"You've always been so radiant."
Her cheeks were slightly red, and Helena said a little shyly, "You don't have to compliment me..."
"These are my sincere words." The communication pressed his chest and said, "It doesn't lie. ”
After a pause, the source asked, "There seem to be a lot of guests tonight, are they all invited by the eldest prince?" ”
"Not exactly." Helena said: "Some of them were invited by the Marquis of Brecon, and it happened to be the New Year's holiday recently, so the Marquis of Brecon invited a very famous circus to perform, and they were pitching tents in the green area behind them, and after the wine tasting, everyone would go to the show." ”
Circus.... This is my old job....
The source smiled and said: "I also like to watch circus performances, I don't know which circus Marquis of Brecon invited?" Is it Lingling Circus or Big Apple Circus? They are the most famous in the Kingdom of Windsor, and the show is wonderful. ”
"It's the Sunshine Circus." Helena giggled and said, "They just returned from a show in Bonaparte's First Empire two days ago, and the Marquis of Brecon spent a lot of money to invite them for tonight's wine tasting.... Mr. Felix, what's wrong with you? Why did your face turn white? ”
"I.... I'm fine. ”
The source felt that a cold sweat had appeared on his forehead, and asked with a hint of luck: "Which Sunshine Circus is it?" What's the name of their boss? ”
"They don't seem to have a boss, just a female manager who is taking care of... Tiffany! Right! It's the name! ”
"Shhhh
