When it was almost noon, the butler personally came to invite Roy and the three of them to the restaurant for lunch.

The dining room in the manor is actually a separate building, with three corridors connecting the square spire building, and the building has a bit of Gothic style.

There is a lot of space in the restaurant, there are six rows of tables nearly 100 meters long, there are some fruits at intervals, the elf maids are holding delicate teapots in their hands, and there are even elf maids holding elf biscuits and ...... Cake.

This was the first time Roy had seen a cake at an elven banquet, not even in Castletown's bakery.

That cake has an enticing sheen under the cream wrap.

The way you eat in this restaurant is that as soon as you sit down, an elf maid will come up and ask questions, choose the food you want to eat, and it will be served quickly, without having to wait for other guests to eat together......

There were only a few and a half seats in the restaurant, and there were still guests entering the restaurant one after another.

Roy chooses a piece of cake, a croissant, and a cup of lemon tea, and these unknown foods surprise both Sabrina and Woods, who look curiously at Roy's plate to find out what he is eating.

Sabrina and Woods chose very conservative food, they first looked at what kind of fruit the other Silver Moon Elves chose, Woods pointed to several precious fruits in the fruit bowl, and whispered to Sabrina: "I have eaten this kind of fruit, it tastes very good, it should be rare here in Castleton City......"

They also opted for honey fruit tea.

Roy's plate was a slice cake with only three thin layers of fresh fruit and jam in between, and a very thin cream on the outside, presumably a modified flavor for the elves.

The cake is not very sweet, slightly sour, but it is mixed with the long-lost creamy taste, and the taste is ...... Roy felt like a lifetime apart.

The croissant is really filled with applesauce, and there is even a faint smell of wine, which is so sweet that if it weren't for a cup of lemon tea by his side, Roy might not have been able to eat such sweet bread.

"Miss Christine guesses you'll like it, the pastry chef from Buenos seems to be really fond of this kind of food!"

The butler duly walked up from behind and added another piece of cake to Roy's empty plate.

It was obvious that Roy didn't like croissants, so he didn't take that again.

Roy then realized that this was the case, and none of the elves around him would eat this cake.

"This cake is delicious...... Roy said.

"Ask the pastry chef to bake another cake and bring it to Roy's room." A sweet voice said.

Miss Christine wore a white gauze dress, with a delicate ear-shaped headband on her forehead, and no other ornaments, as if a layer of sparkle lingered around her body, and Roy felt that she looked more like a princess than Princess Ophelia.

Miss Christine sat down next to Sabrina, and her arrival immediately became the center of attention in the dining room.

Almost all eyes fell on her.

"Thank you for coming to this ball."

Miss Christine had a faint smile on her face and winked at Sabrina secretly.

"We also want to thank you for doing so much so well."

"In the afternoon, my father wants to invite everyone to afternoon tea in the garden over there." Miss Christine said to the three of them.

"Oh, we're also about to pay a visit to the Earl of Swinburn."

Roy said to Miss Christine with a smile.

There were so many guests in the dining room that Miss Christine sat here for a short moment before hurrying away to greet the other guests.

……

After lunch, Roy, Sabrina, and Woods went back to their rooms to rest.

Soon it was time for afternoon tea, and the butler was waiting for Roy and the three at the door, probably knowing that the Earl of Swinburne was going to see the three young men, so his attitude became more respectful.

He led the three of them to a silver meadow with a white awning with some chairs underneath.

On the table were all kinds of fruits and fruit teas, many of which were rare varieties that the three young people had never seen before.

Miss Christine was already waiting, and she stood up and cordially beckoned the three of them to sit down.

A beautiful silver moon elf maid was behind Roy, thoughtfully pulling out a chair for him and pouring him a cup of tea.

When she lowered her head and poured the tea, she almost had to lean on Roy's body, which exuded a sweet smell.

Roy was a little embarrassed, leaned back as much as he could, and when he turned his head to look at Woods, he found that Woods was just as embarrassed as he was.

When Roy looked at Miss Christine, Miss Christine winked at him slyly, as if she had been spotted for her prank......

"Sabrina, try this jelly, a jelly made from berries with a little honey in it."

Miss Christine asked the maid to sandwich a delicate pastry for Sabrina.

Woods sat down in his chair, saw that there were no outsiders on the left and right, stretched his body a little, and praised Miss Christine: "Christine, your manor is so beautiful......

"If you like it, you can come and stay as often as you like, and it doesn't matter how long you stay." Miss Christine said generously.

"This is Silver Pegasus' horse farm?" Roy asked curiously.

"Yes before, but now there aren't many silver pegasus kept here, if you want to see it, I can show you around it later, but I can't let you try it." Miss Christine said.

The Earl of Swinburn, with a cane, walked alone from the direction of the manor.

He has a kind of superior's momentum, which makes people remember it at a glance.

He walked under the awning and sat down beside Miss Christine, looking easy-going, simple and meticulous in his movements, with a military temperament.

"Greetings, Lord Earl Swinburn."

The three Roy stood up and greeted.

The Earl of Swinburne smiled and nodded at Roy, and said heartily:

"Let me guess, you're Roy!"

Roy nodded again.

The Earl of Swinburne smiled smugly, and then said to Sabrina, "You are Sabrina......"

"You're ...... Woods"

In fact, it is not difficult to guess the identities of the three of them, Roy is a half-elf who resembles a human, and Sabrina and Woods are both half-blood elves.

But when the Earl of Swinburne said this, he seemed very approachable.

After he sat down, he naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

The Earl of Swinburn gave Miss Christine a look of some pity, and then said:

"I just want Christine to see some of the outside world, the most real world outside......"

He reached out and stroked Christine's silver hair, and then said:

"It's just that she hasn't been able to find an adventure party worth entrusting, and she joined the Elven Academy adventure group.

I didn't expect a riot on Pallam Island, and I didn't expect the prisoners to swim to Partington Island.

There are more than 30,000 half-blood elves living on Partington Island, and these prisoners have met two children, Christine and Gigilul......

The Earl of Swinburne set his sights on Roy:

"When the news of Christine's danger came back to Castletown, we were all very worried.

Thank you for reaching out to Christine when she needed her most, and for the courage of your children to earn the friendship of the Swinburners.

Listen to Christine, there is a magician among the prisoners? ”

"Hmm." Roy nodded.

The Earl of Swinburne rubbed his forehead and said with some doubt:

"But I've checked the prison escape list of Parram Island Prison, and there is no information about human magicians in it!"

His gaze remained on Roy, who seemed to know that only Roy could answer the question.

Roy didn't hide anything, and replied honestly:

"He was a slave trader on the ship Kumquat, named Benjamin, who had captured some young elves in the jungles of Malaga.

Later, he escaped the manhunt, and later found a companion named Abt.

Abt used to be a trainee priest at the Statue of Liberty and has been absconding for murdering my friend Jasper.

The two of them were not prisoners in prison.

I suspect that they were involved in the escape from Pallam Island with the prisoners on the Kumquat, as they were the only ones who could afford to leave Pallam Island with them. ”

These are all things that Roy has figured out these days.

When he said this, the Earl of Swinburne fell silent.

“……”

The Earl of Swinburn knew about the slave traders of the Kumquat sea ship catching young elves in the jungles of Malaga, and even the Silver Pegasus Regiment was sent out after he signed it.

"It turns out that the initiator of this incident is actually the magician on the Kumquat, and this magician successfully implemented the prison escape plan, which allowed Christine to have this disaster."

After saying that, the Earl of Swinburn sighed softly.

"And you, the commander of the Seventeenth Legion, dear Lord Winsborn." A graceful and noble elven lady walked in the direction of the manor.

Everyone turned their heads and saw the beautiful side face of the elf lady......

She seems to have been carved out of the same mold as Christine, except that she has more of the charm of a mature elf woman than Christine.

The three of Roy hurriedly greeted the Countess again.

The elven lady put her arms around Miss Christine, and the elven maid hurriedly moved a chair.

Many times, things are afraid of repeated scrutiny like this, and after reviewing them a few times, you can find the problems in it.

Roy, Sabrina, and Woods recounted what had happened on the island from beginning to end.

Miss Christine smiled bitterly, a little stiff.

That experience was the last thing she wanted to remember, and a little embarrassed, when in the woods, her clothes were pulled to her belly, and Roy helped her pull them up, and she blushed a little at the thought of it, and secretly glanced at Roy.

But the guy actually lowered his head, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
