As time passed, Count Hall's eyes became more and more kind when he looked at Ember.

It is like a benevolent elder who looks at a junior who is good enough in all aspects, good enough for him to agree with.

In terms of status, although the viscount's title is lower, at least it has entered the ranks of the nobility.

Moreover, Ember is at least a genuine viscount, not a viscount heir.

In terms of ability, he was already a night watchman in the Night Church at a young age.

And judging from his concealed identity and experience, it is obvious that he has a close relationship with the middle and even upper echelons of the Night Church.

Coming to Beckland from Wintershire also clearly has an unknown purpose.

Count Hall didn't intend to find out what this purpose was, he just needed to know that Ember was extraordinary.

Therefore.

Whether it is knowledge, greed, or ability, Ember makes Count Hall nod his head frequently and show approval.

Although there is still a slight unhappiness about the embers cutting first and then playing, the overall attitude has changed.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Bang Bang~"

"Come in."

Ember subconsciously looked at the door, and a blonde, blue-eyed, beautiful lady pushed the door in, with a decent smile on her face, and quipped, "Gentlemen, I didn't mean to disturb your conversation. But it's lunchtime, and I think you can have lunch before you move on. ”

"I'm sorry, Catelyn."

Earl Hall smiled bitterly, and then introduced to Ember, "This is my wife, Caitlin, and this is Viscount Ash Black. Ash, I'm sorry to keep you for so long, how about you stay and have lunch with us as compensation? ”

"It's my pleasure."

Ember stood up and saluted the Countess slightly, then accepted Earl Hall's invitation with a smile, and then paused, "But before I do, I think I need to go to the bathroom first. ”

"Oh, look at my brain."

Earl Hall patted his head with some annoyance, and the countess took a swifter step and ordered, "Laura, you take Viscount Black to the bathroom." ”

Laura, the Countess's personal maid, dressed in a maid's outfit with long brown hair and brown eyes, saluted respectfully and led Ember in the direction of the bathroom.

The Count and Countess, on the other hand, walked in the direction of the restaurant.

"How?"

The Countess suddenly asked inexplicably.

"He's a brilliant young man."

The Earl bowed his head slightly and said approvingly, "The Viscount's title is not low, and he also has a close relationship with the Night Church. ”

Although she did not say it explicitly, the countess could see that her husband valued the young man.

"It doesn't look bad."

The Countess frowned slightly and muttered, "It's just that this seems to be a little different from Anne's description, could it be his disguise?" ”

Anne is Audrey's personal maid, and in her description, although the words are quite restrained and deliberate.

But the Countess could also hear one thing—

It was a little white face who ate soft rice.

But her husband's words seem to have completely overturned this conjecture.

"No, it won't."

The Count pointed to his eyes, and said without hesitation, "If what he has shown is really a disguise, it is impossible to hide it from my eyes." Honey, you have to trust my vision. ”

"Of course I believe you."

The Countess sighed lightly, her tone still playfully worried, "But you also know that Anne doesn't lie, especially when it comes to this kind of thing, and we've already let the Extraordinary verify it, haven't we?" ”

"This ......"

The Earl frowned, unable to figure out the key to this, and after a moment of silence, he said, "This may be a misunderstanding, or maybe there is some other secret." But don't worry, I think we'll know the truth soon. ”

"That's right."

The Countess nodded lightly and looked ahead.

At the long table in the dining room, Audrey was already standing up when she saw the two of them.

"Daddy, Mommy."

Audrey greeted with a sweet smile and pulled the chair next to the countess.

"No, dear."

The Countess smiled and said, "Not today. ”

"Huh?"

Audrey was a little confused.

Mom's eyes had obvious banter and teasing.

It doesn't seem like a bad thing, but is there something important to sit next to you?

Is my brother back?

Audrey's brain raced and she began to guess who was coming.

She even guessed that it might be some prince—

This may have been a blind date planned by her mother for herself, even though she is now underage.

But soon, Audrey's brain stopped working.

Because she was at the entrance of the restaurant, she saw a familiar figure.

"Earl Hall, Lady Catelyn."

Ember greeted them one by one, and finally looked at Audrey, "And Miss Audrey." ”

"Good day, Viscount Black."

Audrey's expression stiffened for a moment, but then she reacted quickly and responded in a low voice.

She didn't know why Ash was here.

Did you take the initiative to visit? Or are you invited?

Audrey didn't know why, but she instinctively tried to show the illusion that 'I don't know him' in front of her parents.

However, her heart was already in a mess, and she didn't notice that the expressions of the White Lord and the Countess became playful at the same time the moment they heard her address.

"Sit down, Ash."

Count Hall sat on the throne and greeted with a smile.

Ember was not pretentious, pulling out a chair and preparing to sit down.

"No, it's not that."

Earl Hall shook his head and gestured to the side, "Sit here, get closer." ”

“……”

Ash looked slightly surprised, and looked at Count Hall a little strangely.

But he did not refuse, adhering to the concept of guest and host, he sat down in the position pointed by Earl Hall.

And coincidentally.

This seat is right next to Audrey.

And the countess, who was supposed to sit here, did not sit on the other side of Audrey, but chose to sit opposite Audrey.

Rao is Audrey is already an audience familiar with the method of acting, and her eyes are still dull.

On the contrary, there was a hint of narrowness in the earl's eyes, and the countess could not control her emotions and chuckled.

At this moment, they don't look like nobles, or even Audrey's parents, just two people who are just eating melons.

"What's going on?"

Audrey subconsciously set her eyes on embers.

Although she didn't speak, Ember could see the inquiring look in the girl's eyes.

"Thank you for having me, Earl Hall."

Ember noticed Audrey's eyes and rose to raise the glass on the table to toast Count Hall.

"No need to be polite."

Earl Hall smiled and said, "After all, you and Audrey are friends, aren't they?" ”

Ember shrugged her shoulders, but Audrey blushed instantly, her heart full of shame of being teased by her parents.
