Chapter 98: Earl Stewart's Advice
To David's words, Sharon only replied with a very simple but extremely complex meaning: "Hehe! ”
After deciding on the gift, David will go outside to buy a few gift boxes next, otherwise he will take out the gift so dryly, it won't look good.
By the way, he also wanted to inquire about the news, and David felt that the Earl of Sutton Stewart should be quite famous in the royal capital, which could be known from the conversation between the two guards when they entered the inner city.
There is a high probability that Sharon's information was sold by one of the guards, I don't know how much it was sold?
Walking on the streets of the inner city, the inner city environment of the royal capital is very good, the pavement paved with stone slabs is clean and flat, and the buildings on both sides of the street also maintain a good image.
It didn't take much time for David to find a shop that sold gift boxes.
To be precise, this shop is right next to the inn, just a few steps away.
According to the owner, the guests who can stay in the inner city inn are people who often have to walk around with the nobles, whether they are nobles from other places or other status, they will inevitably give each other some gifts when they walk around with the nobles in the city, and the gift box is a very good commodity here.
By the way, David also inquired about the Lower Earl of Stewart.
Originally, he thought that ordinary people would not discuss much information about an earl, but he didn't expect that this count didn't seem to care about this, and his name could be said to be known to everyone in the royal city of Tiran, according to the shopkeeper, even the ordinary people in the outer city often talked about this earl in their daily lives.
the younger brother of the current Queen; The most 'romantic' man in the Kingdom of Tiran, the number one playboy in the Kingdom of Tiran, the number one scumbag in the Kingdom of Tiran, the dream girl of countless women in the Kingdom of Tiran (as a certain count calls himself) and other titles all belong to this Earl of Sutton-Stewart.
David, who bought the gift box and came with a bunch of information by the way, didn't waste any more time and walked straight back to the hotel.
"Coming back so soon? Didn't you go to inquire about the news? ”
Sharon panicked and put the things back in her hand, and Newton's old alchemist was not in the living room, but should have gone back to the room to rest or study David's Judgment Hammer.
"The Earl's information is easier to inquire about than expected, and the owner of any shop on the side of the road can tell you a lot."
After briefly talking about what she had heard, Sharon's image of the earl gradually became three-dimensional and plump in her mind, and at the same time, it became more disgusting to her.
It sounds like he's just a scum who uses his identity to scourge beautiful women everywhere!
"At least I haven't heard that this earl has used any violent means to rob the woman he likes."
"Because of his status, he suppressed all this news?"
The two discussed a few words in passing, and it was difficult for either of them to make a direct conclusion until this kind of thing really happened.
As he spoke, David put the prepared gift into the box, and asked the inn for a pen and paper, wrote a simple explanation, and put it in the box together.
Before the sun approached the horizon, but before the world could fall into dusk, the Earl of Stewart arrived.
"Two distinguished guests, this is the dress that the Earl has prepared for you."
The leading attendant, the one who had previously carried the gift of jewelry, introduced the two dresses to David and Sharon in a very calm tone.
David didn't care what the best tailor in King Tiran had designed and sewed by himself, what cherished materials were used, or how long it had taken.
It was only when the squire Balabala's introduction was finished that he smiled and said that he was not going to change his dress, but to keep his current outfit and go to the Earl.
"This ......"
The attendant was a little confused, as if he didn't expect that there would be a commoner who would so bluntly refuse the kindness of an earl, even if he was unhappy in the past, he would not refuse to change his dress. It may be that these two rural buns didn't understand the value of these two dresses at all.
The squire quickly regained his composure, the confusion and disdain on his face lasting less than two seconds, the kind that ordinary people could not detect at all what he was actually thinking.
Thinking of his master's instructions, the attendant did not force David and Sharon to wear the dresses prepared for them, but politely invited the two to go downstairs.
"The carriage is already waiting for the two of you, please come with me."
David and Sharon looked at each other, the other party's attitude was better than the two expected, followed the attendant out of the hotel and boarded the carriage, David noticed the gaze from all over the place, these people were looking at him and Sharon beside him.
It is also possible to hear things like
"It's Earl Stewart's carriage!"
"Who does the Earl have a crush on?"
"It seems to be a young couple, and the earl likes this the most!"
"Oh~ poor man, maybe it's their last day together."
All kinds of chatter did not escape David's ears, and Sharon heard a lot of them, until he sat in the carriage of the carriage, and those faint chattering voices were completely cut off.
As the carriage moved, David peered out through the window next to him, and the carriage quickly turned from the business district of the inner city to another street, passing a sentry before turning into it.
"A guest of Lord Earl Stewart."
The attendant sat next to the coachman of the carriage and told the heavily armed soldiers the identities of the passengers in the carriage, but the soldiers did not even come to check, but only glanced curiously at the side of the carriage and let the carriage pass the sentry.
David saw through the window that the soldier and another colleague seemed to be whispering, but there was no way to hear anything.
"This carriage won't have enchantments, right? The soundproofing is a bit too good. ”
David continued to look out the window, and through the carriage behind the sentry into a neighborhood with a flatter and cleaner pavement, and on both sides of the street were the best houses David had seen since he came to this world, which were basically the kind of mansions with independent front and back courtyards, and buildings that looked like small castles.
The relative distance between the mansions left large open spaces on both sides of the street, and David guessed that the wastelands were lawns in the summer.
"It looks like a rich neighborhood." Sharon also looked out through the other side of the car window: "It should be the nobles of the royal capital who live here, right?" ”
"There should be a lot of high-ranking officials in the Kingdom of Tiran." David withdrew his gaze as the carriage had turned into one of the courtyards.
The carriage did not stop, but continued to pull the two to the backyard before stopping.
The door opened, and David got out of the carriage first, and saw Earl Sutton-Stewart, who was already waiting here.
Earl Stewart did not react to the fact that David and Sharon were not wearing the gowns they had given them, and it seemed that the Earl had been informed before David got out of the car.
When Sharon got out of the carriage, Earl Stewart welcomed him and said, "It's a pity that that jewel is worn on your body, and it will set off your blonde hair and skin even more dazzling." ”
Sharon has long golden hair as bright as holy light, a sweet countenance, and a tall and toned body, even in the eyes of Earl Stewart, who has seen countless beauties, the young girl in front of her is the best of the best.
Now it seems that it is not easy to take down this prey.
While greeting the two, Stewart led David and Sharon to a long table with cutlery, candles, flowers, and other decorations.
As soon as everyone was seated, the servants immediately came up and removed the extra decorations from the table, and at the same time placed clean wet towels and other items.
A rectangular table, where three people are eating, does not seem to be convenient for seating, but in fact the chairs are already arranged, two of which are located at the farthest ends of the long table, and the other is placed diagonally opposite one of them.
Stewart sat alone at one end, with David at the other, and Sharon sitting diagonally across from David.
"Welcome to Tiran." After taking his seat, Earl Stewart used this sentence as an opening remark, and by the way, motioned to the servant to serve the food: "I heard that David came to the royal city to handle the village upgrade?" ”
"Yes." David knew that when he was inquiring about Stewart, the Earl also inquired about himself and others.
It's just a girl, is it necessary to inquire in such detail? David began to wonder what the Lord Earl wanted to do.
After serving a few bites of food, Earl Stewart suddenly raised his glass and stared at David with expectant eyes: "I think Mr. David's trip will go very well, maybe I should congratulate you in advance, do you think?" Mr. Mayor? ”
David looked at Earl Sutton Stewart, who was sitting not far in front of him, and his words were easy to understand, and he almost told David directly that he could help a little in this matter.
"So, at what cost?"
"I like to talk to smart people." Earl Stewart took a sip of the cider from his glass, and was glad that David, a commoner from a small country country, could immediately understand what he meant: "I admire Sharon, and I hope she can accompany me to enjoy the rising sun tomorrow." ”
“……”
Looking at the silent David, Earl Stewart did not rush to urge, and glanced at Sharon a few more times before adding a few words: "Presumably, Your Excellency will be very worried that Miss Sharon will not rest well in an unfamiliar environment, maybe you should stay and take care of it." ”
“……”
Earl Stewart didn't give David time to 'consider' this time, and immediately urged: "What do you think of my suggestion?" Lord Baron! ”
"Lord Earl, you seem to have asked the wrong person." David called 'good guy' in his heart, and while enduring the constant pain in his calf, he calmly expressed his attitude: "I don't have the authority to make any decisions for Sharon. ”
