"Your Highness, Young Master Annan went to the Black Gold Auction today."

"Black gold...... Your Excellency Byan's estate? ”

Princess Sayles leaned back in the deck chair on the terrace, her slender legs folded, holding a book, and the casual and mature charm of a girl collided with each other.

"Byan Silma gave the head of the house to his sons a few years ago, and now the black gold auction house belongs to Bora Silma." The old maid chief said in detail: "Bora Silma is a businessman through and through, he shouldn't bully Young Master Annan. ”

Princess Sayles looked up at the head maid who had been by her side since she was a child: "You seem to care about him very much?" ”

"You've been gone for too long, ma'am......" The old maid couldn't bear to continue to live in the old days when the old man was still alive.

“…… I've wronged you. Princess Sayles thought that Annan's arrival had washed away the boredom of the servants.

At this moment, the door of the manor opened with the appearance of a figure.

"He's back." Princess Sayles lowered her folded legs again and looked at Annan who was waving in greeting, "This little guy seems to be in a good mood." ”

Bub......

The old maid remembered silently.

The faithful head maid thinks about everything for her master, so she summons the servant and asks the cook to prepare the ingredients and precious potions that fill the body.

Princess Sayles's gaze fell on the captain of the guard who hurried out the door.

After a while, the maid came up and said that Annan wanted to see Princess Sayles.

"I'm going to call him." The old maid thought that young people were always unrestrained, and was stopped by Princess Sayles: "Let me go to the drawing-room." ”

Coming to the living room, Annan made up an excuse for losing a bet with the nobles: "This is an IOU." ”

Annan knows that half of the royal city is out, so I hope Princess Sayles can help to come back.

"I'll let the guards run." Princess Sayles said something else: "You are my sister's friend, the north has caused you to get some bad problems, and there has been no one to teach you, you need to learn some etiquette. Tomorrow Emma will send you to Ordax Academy for an etiquette class. Three days in total. ”

The etiquette class was in the morning, and it didn't conflict with the noon auction, just in time for Annan to know if the Audagger Academy knew.

Princess Sayles gave Annan a bit harsh, but for his sake, she made up for Annan's regret that she didn't have a mother.

For example, at the afternoon tea time of the nobles, the old maid pushed a cart of food: "Young Master Annan eat more, these can only be eaten by the royal family." ”

"Thank you, Aunt Emma."

But Annan was only a sixteen-year-old boy now, and he was embarrassed by so much food, so he opened the portal, shared some with Olme, and let the ogre taste it.

After that, Annan didn't go out again, and meditated all night while he was full of energy. On a new day, Annan got into the royal carriage and headed for the Ordagis Academy.

A gaze followed Annan away.

The captain of the guard was just about to go out, but was stopped by the guard: "Your Highness wants to see you." ”

The hesitant captain of the guard followed the guard to the living room, and when he saw Princess Sayles sitting on the sofa, he knelt down on one knee: "Your Highness." ”

"The news of Annan that you sent out?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Take off your armor and leave the manor."

The captain of the guard looked up in disbelief: "Your Highness...... I just want to get the king of the north out. ”

"So I let you leave on your own, not to Annan." Princess Sayles looked at him indifferently. "But Annan is my junior, a friend of my sister, and a guest arranged by the minister at the manor...... What are you? ”

The dejected captain of the guards left the manor, and the old maid chief stared at his back with a cold expression: "Your Highness, you are too merciful. ”

"After all, it was the guards arranged by his younger brother, and now is the crucial time for him to become king."

"He's going to cause trouble for Young Master Annan."

"That's Annan's own business." Princess Sayles recalls decades ago, when a little girl who had fallen from a carriage slumped her shoulders and walked alone into a snowstorm. "My sister was thrown into the snow."

……

The atmosphere at Ordagger Academy won't be too good...... Everything was blamed on that provocation, so Annan had to put on a hood to cover his obvious black hair.

The etiquette class was only in the outer courtyard of the academy, so Annan did not have the opportunity to really go deep into this forest-like spire-like complex. The class was filled with young children and the sons of nobles who had just become nobles.

The instructor was a lady, and her footsteps and movements reminded Annan of the puppets in the mage's tower—rigid and precise.

"Let's put the little finger of the left hand on the knuckle of the ring finger of the right hand, taking care to put it on the right hand......"

After the boring etiquette lesson, the sons of the nobles gathered around Annan because they were comfortable and beautiful to stay next to him.

"What's your name?"

"I'm Annan."

"Annan...... It seems familiar...... And your accent, you're not from the royal capital? A little girl who hadn't lost her baby teeth asked.

"I'm from the North."

"You're Annan Reeves?" A slightly older aristocratic boy froze.

Annan lifted his hood and revealed his black hair: "I am." ”

The surrounding children froze for a few seconds, screaming as if they had seen an evil dragon and ran out of the classroom.

Annan looked at the only person in the classroom who didn't run: a girl who was taller than an adult male, suddenly got playful, came to her and said, "I am the king of the north, woo~"

The girl quietly raised her head and glanced at Annan, bowed her head and continued reading.

Embarrassed, he turned into Annan and left the etiquette class in a gloomy manner. With the help of the royal family's carriage, the road to Annam was unusually smooth.

Before the auction began, Annan, wearing a hood, came to the auction, and after meeting with the fat boss, Annan asked who the sender was, and saw a familiar face - a young nobleman who spent 501 gold yesterday to buy the statue of the goddess of wealth.

Annan went to meet him, revealed the truth of yesterday, and then said when he was filled with anger: "Do you want to fight with the big elements, or with the epic mage?" Or fight with me? ”

"You-"

"It seems that you chose and large elements." Annan reveals the magic ring he wears on his finger.

"What do you want!" The young nobleman who couldn't beat it gritted his teeth.

"It's just collaboration...... You brought three lots, right? Like yesterday, I'll help you sell them at a high price......"

"I won't work with the King of the North!"

"Then I'll only have to let the people outside know about your cooperation with the King of the North."

The young nobleman's face turned pale, and his tone was a little loose: "But I also lost 500 gold coins!" ”

"So I'll give you a chance to earn it back." Annan's gentle voice seemed to be the whisper of the devil. "I guess you're selling these things to make up for the gap, right? You don't want your father to find out that a large sum of money is missing from the treasury, do you? ”

"Don't want to ......"

"Would you like to see the treasury return to its original state, with hundreds of gold coins in your hands?"

"Want to ......"

"So...... Work with me, and we're three or seven points. I'm seven. ”
