"Well, the young man is quite energetic, isn't he, Mr. Sean?"

Satuk touched his chin and looked at Sean a few times.

"I'm here for my daughter, Sean, may I ask why she is being held in your arms, can you tell me what you did to her?"

……

Sean's face instantly turned cold, he no longer hesitated, and put down Estelle in his arms, his expression a little dissatisfied.

"Mr. Satuk, this is a good show you planned, and the deputy butler of Dalton, who drove the carriage, should have told you the news a long time ago."

"Just say anything, don't beat around the bush, Lord Earl, are you taking me for a fool?"

"Wow, ho." Satuk hurriedly stretched out his hand and gestured to pause, and said, "Calm down, I didn't let you do anything, the young people are really impulsive now, I'm just asking a question." ”

"Your Excellency Sean is a wise and wise mage, and my little trick is not worth mentioning in front of you."

"But since you've accepted it, we'll be the closest allies from now on, right?"

There was a hint of persecution in Satuk's words, and he could laugh at Sean's irascible response, but once it was about interests, he wouldn't back down.

"Of course, we are our closest 'allies.'"

Sean nodded, emphasizing the word ally, he knew what Satuk was planning, so naturally he would not step on Satuk's minefield.

"Haha, then dear ally, can you give me a face and have breakfast with me?"

Satuk replied with a laugh, very happy in his heart.

Sure enough, it was worth paying some price, his plan was already half successful, and Sean, a wandering alchemist who did not belong to any nobles, was finally pulled under his command.

Although they are ostensibly allies, because of Estelle's relationship, Sean has no chance to refuse some of Satuk's requests.

Sean naturally understands this truth, but he still has to accept it, because some things can't be solved by just anyone, and only by really joining the camp of a certain nobleman can he get some convenience.

And this kind of request is actually not bad, because Satuk will definitely not let him help for free, and even continue to give him benefits at the beginning, as long as he is paid, who is not helping?

"Well, we were going to dinner."

Sean said without scruples, he understood that the next step was further negotiations, and it was inevitable to seek more benefits in the future cooperation.

"Estelle, let's go, get into the carriage."

Sean instructed Estelle beside her, "Your father is so gracious, let's go back next time on the street or something." ”

Satuk on the side didn't say anything, just let Sean command his daughter, he was now thinking about how to bring out Sean's value, and he didn't care about anything else.

Anyway, it's just a bridge, and after establishing a relationship with Sean, as long as this guy tastes the sweetness, Estelle doesn't matter.

As an earl and patriarch, Satuk was already as cold as iron at heart.

He had seven or eight sons and daughters, and those were the only ones who really valued them.

Estelle is a descendant of the Scarlet family, and has enjoyed the glory of the Scarlet family since she was a child, so what can she do if she gives something in order to pass on the glory of the family and even become greater?

After hearing Sean's words, Estelle lowered her head and got into the carriage with a low expression.

The conversation between the two had already made her understand her position, and her heart, which she thought had become numb, became painful again.

After giving the order to the coachman, Satuk turned to make small talk with Sean with a cheerful face.

The purpose of coming here has been successfully achieved, and he is now very happy, so the conversation is full of interest.

Sean, who was sitting across from him, was also a little excited, the exchange of interests was coming, and whether his half-finished staff could go further before he was promoted to the apprentice level depended on his performance this time.

Only Estelle next to her looked slightly blinded.

She wanted to cry loudly in the carriage, but under the pressure of the two, she could only collapse helplessly on the seat with thick fur.

Both Sean and Satuk wore thick masks at this time, and they no longer looked like people, which made Estelle extremely strange.

……

Scarlet Manor.

In the lavishly decorated dining room, a long dining table is placed in the center of the hall, and the corners and sides of the table are beautifully patterned, giving it an artistic look at a glance.

Sean and Satuk sat across from each other in the middle of the long table, while Estelle sat next to Sean with a forced smile on her face.

Groups of servants brought plates to the table, and when the lid of the plate was removed, the exquisite dishes were presented to the trio.

He took a piece of bread made with expensive ingredients such as milk and honey and put it on a plate, and used a knife and fork to gently cut it into small, easy-to-eat pieces.

The metal knives made contact with the plate without making a sound, and Satuk and Estelle made movements similar to those of Sean, and all three meticulously carried out aristocratic dining etiquette.

Because it's breakfast, these dishes are relatively light, but there is also a small portion of meat, but they are all small and delicate.

In addition, milk, eggs, cheese, fruits, and a variety of drinks are also available, as well as a variety of combinations of foods that will whet your appetite.

It was a typical aristocratic breakfast, costing more than a gold coin, and the nobles and professionals exploited the fruits of the labor of ordinary people to live happily ever after.

Breakfast is not to talk about things, and after the boring eating, Sean and Satuk go to the special meeting room, and the next game is where they pay attention.

Estelle did not participate in the conversation, and she walked alone in the manor, very depressed.

When the busy servants around saw her, they all saluted her, but she turned a blind eye and looked confused.

Istelle is worried about her fate in the future, and she doesn't know where she will stay in the future, so will she want to live with Sean? Then she's going to die of boredom.

However, this is unlikely, and Sean doesn't have much time to care about her, and the more likely is that she will be kept in captivity somewhere, and when Sean gets bored one day, he will run to her.

Maybe one day she will be forced to marry her due to various interests, but this kind of life is not what she wants at all, and she is more like a lover than a wife.

A servant nervously bowed his head past Estelle, fearing that he would accidentally get in the way of the eldest lady and cause him to lose his comfortable and well-paid job.

If he knew the thoughts of this eldest lady, his heart must have been full of jealousy, and for ordinary people, the life that Estelle feared was completely heavenly.
