"Good evening, Miss Audrey, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're pretty again."

Entering the banquet hall of East Chester Manor, Anthony saw Audrey talking eloquently in the midst of everyone.

Without the slightest stage fright, he also greeted him and greeted him with a smile.

The surrounding nobles all cast strange glances, after all, Anthony, who is not yet famous, is not qualified to be known in the top aristocratic circles.

They were amazed that a young nobleman like Anthony could muster up the courage to greet Miss Audrey.

And looking at it like this, it seems that I still have a good relationship with Miss Audrey.

"Well, good evening, Mr. Anthony, but I remember, it seems like we haven't seen each other for a few days, right?"

Audrey also responded with a smile, but the tone of her voice made everyone feel a little weird.

Why does it sound a little resentful?

Anthony was certainly not a fool and understood the meaning of the words.

After handing over the "audience" potion to Audrey, he really didn't care too much about the progress of her digestion, and even today, the number of times they have met is only a handful.

It looks like I'm a little irresponsible...

Anthony smiled wryly, held up the coffee in his hand, and motioned for himself to go aside.

He still doesn't like the scene of so many people, and it's not suitable to use "twisting" to talk to Audrey and the two.

"Mr. Anthony, Mr. Earl asked me to take you to meet him."

Anthony, who was just about to find a corner to wait for Audrey, turned around and heard a manservant whispering beside him, which made him stunned and then relieved.

I guess Earl Hall also knows what he's been doing lately, right?

Anthony smiled slightly, turned his head and nodded to Audrey, who was looking at her, signaling that he had to leave first, and then followed the manservant into the corridor outside the banquet hall.

He is no longer more than a month ago, when he was frightened and submissive in the face of his "father-in-law".

It can only be said that money is the source of a man's self-confidence.

Soon, led by the manservant, Anthony was led to a door carved with delicate patterns and inlaid with precious stones and emeralds, and the manservant motioned for Earl Hall to be there, and then turned and left.

It seems that his mission is only to bring Anthony over.

"Tuk Tuk!"

Standing at the door, Anthony knocked on the door very politely, and only when the voice of Earl Hall answered could be heard inside, he pushed open the door and entered.

It's like a private study—

The teapot with black tea on the table was still steaming, the bookcase was filled with compact books, and the incense burning on a table alone gave off a refreshing fragrance.

Earl Hall sat at his desk, holding the steaming teapot and pouring the black tea into the two teacups in front of him.

"Anthony, you're here, sit down."

Compared with the first meeting, this time Count Hall was obviously more polite, and this slight change naturally could not hide from Anthony, who was an extraordinary person, but he only saw through it without saying anything, and sat down without fear with a smile, and naturally put his hands on his knees.

When facing elders, the etiquette that should be there is still a need, even if you have achieved something, but you can't be proud.

"Here, this is the Desby black tea that was just shipped from the Vesak Empire this morning, and taste how it tastes."

If the first time Earl Hall saw Anthony, he looked down on the people at the bottom, this time it was more like an elder, entertaining the juniors who came to visit.

This shows that he has identified with Anthony's status.

Taking the black tea with both hands, Anthony's mind flashed like an electric current, and his smile was even brighter.

"Thank you, Mr. Earl."

Holding the black tea, Anthony carefully took a sip to avoid burning his tongue by the heat, and then his eyes lit up, and he praised as if he were real.

"It is worthy of the black tea sent by the Fusak Empire, and the taste is really not comparable to ordinary black tea!"

Holding stinky feet, Anthony's frame is a burst of nonsense, he doesn't know what grade of black tea is, and it is good black tea to quench his thirst.

Of course, beer can quench his thirst, but he really can't drink it.

"Hahaha, you're used to drinking."

As a person who came over, Earl Hall didn't understand Anthony's careful thoughts, and the smile on his two mustaches remained unchanged, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes.

There's nothing wrong with being mellow and worldly, at least if you can go further in business.

It can also reduce the probability of provoking powerful enemies...

"I heard that you are building a charitable foundation recently and have donated a lot of gold lists, and I am afraid that you will be able to obtain the baronial title of His Majesty the King in a few days, congratulations in advance."

"Maybe the next time we meet, I'll call you Monsieur Baron."

Sipping the black tea, Earl Hall said with a smile, inevitably with some inquiring tones in his tone.

Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't be sure of the authenticity of the news, but he couldn't believe that the young nobleman, who had only been around for a short time since he had last met, was about to become a baron.

This is rare in the entire history of the Kingdom of Rune, and even Anthony may become the first nobleman to be knighted a barony before reaching adulthood.

Even his son Hibbert. Hall can't even compare.

However, doesn't this also prove that Audrey's vision is still good.

Thinking like this, Count Hall's gaze at Anthony became more and more gentle, making the latter a little confused, but he quickly waved his hand in fear.

"Mr. Earl, don't kill me, I'm just lucky this time, I don't know how many years it will take to achieve such an achievement as you, Earl."

Anthony pretended to be humble, causing Earl Hall to laugh angrily.

Luck?

According to you, aren't all the young nobles of the entire kingdom of Rune unlucky? Even the princes of the kingdom!

Remembering his last conversation with Anthony, the young nobleman seemed to be still vividly reminded of his resolute desire to obtain the knighthood, which made Earl Hall feel more and more at his courage and execution.

In less than two months, such an achievement was achieved, and I am afraid that there is no one before or after in the history of the Kingdom of Rune.

After taking another sip of black tea and glancing at his watch, Earl Hall suddenly noticed that the time of this dinner party seemed to be almost halfway over, and the back and forth conversation between the two made it seem as if time had slowed down.

It doesn't seem like the purpose of hosting this dinner party is to talk to Anthony, right?

Earl Hall subconsciously looked in the direction of the banquet hall, and his eyes seemed to be able to pass through the walls, and he saw Audrey sitting in the corner with her cheeks puffed out secretly and a resentful look.

"Hmm... As the host of the dinner, it would be undignified to have the guests come and chat with me, a bad old man, so let's get back to the dinner, the dance is about to begin. ”

Count Hall stood up and put on his hat, so that Anthony, who had not finished drinking the black tea, also hurriedly stood up.

"Yes, Count Hall, follow your will."
