10w gold coins is not a small amount

For anyone, this is true.

Even Malinda is the same.

But unlike the others, Malinda doesn't get angry when she gets this number, and she doesn't think what Arthur said is nonsense.

On the contrary, Malinda thinks.

And Arthur liked to think.

In particular, Malinda's thinking is even more charming.

Even standing there motionless, it was as if it was emitting golden light.

Malinda firmly believes that Arthur has laid out in advance and has a target.

Arthur was also willing to keep Malinda believed.

So, he's going to say a name—

Dorne!

Alves. That Dorne of Hamlet's pseudonym!

And this pseudonym is worth 10w.

In fact, this price is really a friendship price.

After all......

As long as Malinda investigates this pseudonym, she will definitely be able to find Alves. Hamlet.

At the same time, it is also very likely to come from Alves. Hamlet discovers clues about him, leading to more secrets about his mother's membership in the 'Golden Lion Family'.

Therefore, this price is really not expensive.

It's definitely not because Arthur gave Bob all the money to make the [Dead Soldier Potion], and after the funds were stretched, he wanted to pit Malinda.

Definitely not!

Arthur stressed in his heart.

At the same time, walked to the kitchen.

Malinda told him to get the dishes back.

As for the dishes and chopsticks from last time?

Ms. Anna washed it.

Arthur saw it later, neatly and cleanly, in a basket.

"Oh, your chopsticks.

I'm clean, right? ”

Arthur placed the basket in front of Malinda.

Ms. Anna, who was flipping through "New Pastry Cooking" on the side, didn't even raise her head, just quietly looked at it - for Ms. Anna, Arthur's 'white lie' was like a younger brother's coquettishness.

Not only does it not matter, but it is kind of cute.

Of course, only for the Credos family.

Alien?

Ms. Anna will give the other person a sense of what horror is.

Malinda looked at the basket, rolled her eyes directly at Arthur, and then looked at Ms. Anna-

"Thank you for your help."

Malinda thanked her sincerely.

Although it is possible to guess where Anna came from, Arthur needs to show respect for Anna if she treats her as a family member.

Not for anything else.

Just for who he is now.

"You're welcome, Malinda."

Ms. Anna replied with a smile.

That smile was hideous and terrifying, at least to outsiders, but in Malinda's opinion, it was much better, at least better than some bastard who opened his mouth and closed his mouth to ask for money, and his heart was full of calculations.

After thinking about the funds in the account for a while, and confirming that it would not affect her business, Malinda nodded at Arthur.

"Say it!"

"Dorne, Dorne from the Inner Bay!"

Arthur said.

Malinda narrowed.

"Inner Bay?"

The woman repeated.

"Hmm."

Arthur nodded in affirmation.

Without hesitation, Malinda spat out a large smoke ring and went straight inside.

Call!

Finally gone.

Arthur let out a sigh and greeted Ms. Anna, and Arthur returned to the floor of the 'Medium Hall' and quickly fell asleep.

Malinda, on the other hand, is starting to get busy.

First, let his men inquire and find the man named Dorne.

It could be from the inner bay, but of course it's more likely that it claims to be from somewhere else.

Either way, Malinda needs to know everything about this man called Dorne before sunset.

Afterwards?

The woman began to straighten her clothes.

She changed into a pair of khaki trousers, brown high-waisted boots, and a white shirt with a waistcoat - although it was still a man's dress, the cuffs and neckline were decorated with lace, and the trousers were slightly modified at the waist and hips to make it more conlined, more like a women's hunting outfit.

This woman is not doing this to change anything.

Instead, it had to be done.

Because......

Lady Susan's visit.

In the face of the archbutler of the Count of South Ros, Malinda will definitely not be careless.

However, in the past, Malinda would never be so 'dressed up', even if she knew that the other party didn't like her daily outfit.

In the past two years, Malinda, who has been making guest appearances in the money bag of the Count of South Los Sul, still has some confidence when facing Mrs. Susan, and she doesn't need to be treated with such caution at all.

The reason is to change into some outfits that the other person likes.

Nature is not about will.

It has nothing to do with flattery.

It was Malinda who hoped to get some useful information from Lady Susan's mouth.

And then?

Of course, it is used as a 'bargaining chip' for trading with Arthur!

Think about it, since the start of the trade with Arthur, which time has she not paid all kinds of trading chips? Which time was not Arthur who took the initiative.

This made the lady, who had always been strong, unable to swallow this breath.

So, just now Malinda didn't tell Lady Susan about her visit.

To win Arthur once!

At least!

At least—

She, Malinda, is also going to get an initiative!

Therefore, Malinda unconsciously attached importance to Lady Susan's visit.

"Mary prepares some light food.

However, meat needs to be prepared well.

Use spices sparingly, and you need a soup that is good enough for the main course. ”

Malinda commanded.

"Yes, sir."

Mary, the cook who worked as a housekeeper, immediately walked to the kitchen herself.

When Edwin came to report, Malinda walked to the gate of the main building of Caesar's Manor, and watched a carriage slowly drive in through the gate without any sign.

Driving was a familiar but unnamed guard of the Count of Nanlos's house.

Other than that, there are no more companions.

Malinda frowned secretly.

Although with Madame Susan's strength, there is no need for more guards, but as the grand butler of the Count of South Ross, he should be treated.

Or rather......

Aristocratic etiquette, demeanor.

In short, there should be a cavalry contingent of no less than 20 people around the carriage.

And now there is only one possibility.

Madame Susan did not come on behalf of the Count of South Los, but in her own name.

In this case, you need to have a good personal relationship.

And she and Lady Susan?

There is no such personal relationship.

But what really made Malinda strange was Lady Susan's attitude -

After the carriage stopped at the door of the main building, and without waiting for the guards to open the door, after seeing Malinda standing at the door, Lady Susan pushed the door and stepped out of the carriage.

"How did you get out?

Winter in South Los is not so friendly. ”

An elder-style slightly complaining remark made Malinda look confused.

Later, even more bewildered, Lady Susan took off her rabbit fur cloak and draped it over Malinda.

Moreover, before Malinda could react, she took Malinda's arm and brought her back to the main building almost half-supported.

Malinda was stupid.

The 'Lady of the Long Night' looked at Lady Susan in amazement.

But the lady looked at Malinda carefully, and whispered—

"Old Charlie's bastard would be glad if he knew he was going to be a grandfather."

Malinda was stunned.

Subsequently, the pupils shook violently.

Well?!!
