The next morning, Li Aili opened her eyes, and there was a bunch of small flowers on the pillow.

It's just that compared to the single color of the previous two days, the flowers this time are colorful, red, blue, purple and yellow......

Li Elli was silent.

Good guys, is this learning not to catch 'a sheep's hair'?

Pepe, you can, you're already a mature Pepe.

However, the results have not changed.

Outside the window, a group of female tree spirits roared like thunder, "Pepe!! You little bastard!! ”

Li Aili leaned by the window and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the morning.

The woods to the west are visibly growing, more dense, and seemingly larger.

Take a deep breath of air, and the fresh smell of grass and trees unique to the forest is in.

It's only been a few days since the dryads came? Sure enough, racial talent is the most terrifying.

Flocks of birds come from all directions and make their homes in the forests to the west.

Pepe 'leads' a group of unusually irascible female tree spirits, 'whistling' from under her window.

"Good morning! Sister Ellie! The little one greeted her with his head tilted back as he ran.

Li Aili waved her hand, "Good morning, Pepe, watch ahead!" ”

But she said it was too late.

Pepe crashed directly into the gardening tool that the gardener had put there, and then fell into a.

The female tree spirits laughed extremely 'hideously', and as soon as they swarmed up, they tied Pepe into a 'silkworm chrysalis' with vines that only exposed their small heads.

Then, carrying the unlucky child back to the West Forest like a wild boar.

When they passed by Li Ellie's window, they smiled so beautifully, "Morning~ Ellie." ”

Li Aili waved her hand stiffly, "Morning guys, ahahaha......"

She couldn't let the treants discover the pile of flowers on their beds!

And, very kindly and silently in my heart, I drew a 'light seal' for the bear child Pepebi, and may the god of light bless the child from being killed.

At breakfast, Li Ailie came to the North Restaurant as usual.

As soon as she pushed the door, she almost didn't recognize it.

Gone is the ornate long banquet table in the dining room, replaced by a small, intimate round table.

But it was still covered with expensive tablecloths woven by elves.

The Duke sat calmly at the table and flipped through the newspaper.

"What happened to the original table?"

The duke calmly flipped through a page of the newspaper, "The castle has been plagued with termites in the past two days, and last night, the table leg was broken. ”

Ellie Lee: "......"

I am used to the kind of long banquet table where two people are five meters away, and then I feel particularly awkward to use this kind of small round table.

She always felt that if her legs were a little straighter, she would be able to touch the duke's long legs.

The valets set a hearty breakfast on the table.

Conrad waited for Li Elli and the Duke to put down their knives and forks, and then stepped forward with a silver tray.

On the tray was a letter and a letter opener.

Li Aili asked tangledly, "Conrad, when will the new table in the restaurant arrive?" ”

Conrad: "Ma'am, what do you mean?" ”

Seeing Conrad's confusion, Li Aili was also confused, "I mean, the table here was gnawed by termites, so didn't you order a new one?" ”

Conrad said: "This round table is a new table, the material is dragon's blood, and the craftsman is a master of Kaka. ”

Ellie Lee: "...... "I didn't ask you this......

Frontal Dragon's Bloodwood? Oh! It looks like this!

"No, wait, I mean, aren't you going to change back to the old banquet table?"

Conrad smiled, "No, ma'am, the termites in the castle specialize in gnawing on long tables that are more than 2 meters long. ”

Ellie Lee: "........................"

Li Aili looked at the man beside her with an expressionless face.

The Duke duly shoved the unfolded letter in front of Lee Ellie.

"A letter to me?" Lee was distracted and picked up the letterhead.

[To Arthur Cold Emerald:

You are cordially invited to my birthday party this year, so please come by.

Your friend, Brandon Red Pomegranate. 】

Ellie Lee: "......"

Red pomegranate? Duke of Southshire? 'Sword of Light' Brandon?

At a time when 4/5 of the messages are passed between nobles and social nonsense, the letter from the Duke of the Red Pomegranate is as short as a classroom note passed at school.

"Uh, you're going?"

The Duke stood up and straightened his embroidered navy blue coat, "It's not me, it's us." ”

"Go pack it up, we'll leave in the afternoon."

Li Aili was slightly surprised, "In such a hurry? Uh, no, why should I go? ”

The Duke let out a soft 'um' sound, "I'm going to arrange the affairs of the territory, and we'll probably stay in Swan Castle in South County for four days." ”

Ellie Lee: "......"

The Duke glanced at her faintly, "A box of gold coins." ”

Li Ellie: "Okay~I'll go pack my luggage~~"

Duke: "............"

……

Joanna was busy like a spinning top when she got the news.

Li Aili thought that it would be good to prepare two sets of changes of clothes in four days.

As a result, Joanna stubbornly packed up seven or eight sets of luxurious dresses for banquets, and five or six sets of ordinary dresses.

With a complete set of gemstone jewelry, the luggage is like moving, rather than going to a castle in the south.

Li Aili was stunned, "No, dear, I'll go for four or five days, you ......"

Joanna was busy and said, "Let those little girls in Nanjun open their eyes, and one or two in the province will forget about the duke's side!" ”

"Madame! The Duke of Nanjun is known as a 'ball maniac', promise me that you will not wear the same clothes to his ball, okay? ”

"Otherwise, those people in Nanjun will think that the Duke is poor and can't support you!"

Li Li: "......" Is her skirt already related to the 'Southwest War'?

At lunchtime, the Knights who accompanied the escort had already begun to line up.

Dark Mithril armor, with a black military flag, and a guard of honor composed of 36 silver knights.

The newly formed Blue Onyx Knights accompanied the escort.

Even if the royal family of the kingdom travels, it is not so extravagant.

Sixteen black horses pulling the carriage galloped wildly.

Li Aili looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, "South, it's far away from here, right?" How many days does it take to travel? ”

The Duke was still accustomed to using his spare time to attend to official business.

He put down a parchment scroll, "In about four days, after arriving at the Cathedral of Light in Erie City, you can use the portal of the church to reach the southern part of the kingdom directly. ”

Because it was a long journey, the carriage used space magic.

Bedrooms, washrooms, everything, it's a magic version of an RV.

The Duke picked up the new parchment scroll, "After arriving in the south, there are about four or five days to go, and you will reach Swan Castle,"

Li Aili was a little sleepy, "I'll go sleep for a while." ”

Looking at the hill-like parchment scroll next to the duke, she said with pity: "You continue to work hard." ”

Lie lies on the soft bed in the middle of the magic folding carriage, rummaging through the memories of her original body.

In her memory, it was as if she had never seen the Grand Duke of the South......

When Li Ali woke up, the carriage was still galloping.

The Duke lay down on the other side of the bed with her eyes closed, and sat up straight in fright, and picked up a large pillow as a 'weapon of self-defense'.

The man opened his eyes, slowly turned sideways, and pointed to his forehead with one hand to watch her 'perform' quietly.

Li Li: "...... Why are you lying here? ”

The Duke asked slowly, "Then where do you think I should lie down?" ”

You should lie under the car.

Li Aili politely reminded, "Our relationship, isn't it good to lie together?" ”

The Duke nodded thoughtfully, "So, I'm generous enough not to bother with you." ”

Ellie Lee: "......"

She had to hold back, because she couldn't beat it.

The duke accepted the joking attitude and said casually: "When you arrive at the castle of the Duke of Red Pomegranate, do you still want to continue to sleep in a separate room with me?" ”

Li Aili asked blankly, "Ah, what's wrong with this?" ”

The Duke chuckled, "Then, the next day, the news of your discord with me will spread throughout the kingdom." ”

"On the third day, the Duke of Pomegranate will be able to stuff the woman in my room."

"While our contract and relationship between husband and wife are still pending, you have the responsibility and obligation to help me avoid this trouble."

Ellie Lee: "......"

The Duke looked at her with satisfaction as the sky fell apart, "So, my dear, I'm here to let you get used to it in advance, so that you don't get too excited and show your feet when the time comes." ”

Ellie Lee: "............"

After four days of non-stop driving, the duke's convoy finally arrived at the city of Erie.

When the city lord learned that Duke Leng Jade's knights were 'soldiers coming to the city', he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

You must know that the last Earl of McWell, who was 'soldiers in the city' by the Cold Emerald Knights, is now poor enough to ask for food.
