Francis's non-lord's banquet was never seen, and the banquet was always only attended by the first half of the young master, who was about to follow the lord's wife to the birthday party held by the Lopu family for the heir three days later.

The news came so suddenly that the nobles were caught off guard, and they tried to find out why, but the Luopu family never revealed the slightest information.

Don't ask, it's the lord's wife and the little young master who are happy to ask.

Eli rarely had the opportunity to dress so formally, so at his suggestion, he changed to a Chinese-style button-down shirt, a wide dark blue bib shorts, calf socks with belt buckles, and comfortable and handsome little leather boots. Firia also chose the dark blue one among the colorful ribbons and tied him a beautiful knot at the collar of his shirt.

As Firia picked up the breasted cape, Eli finally couldn't help but ask, "Do I have to wear shorts underneath and a long-sleeved shirt and cape on top?" ”

"Of course." Firia buttoned the last button, "It's night, but you won't be cold." ”

"But I think I'm going to be hot."

"Neither will you, I assure you." Firia gently pinched Eli's soft cheek, "One thermostat is enough for three banquets." ”

Sometimes Eli didn't want universal magic to work so well, and the breasted cloak was just over his elbows, restricting his movement a bit.

But Eli was relieved when he saw Feria's layered skirt and intricate and heavy jewelry, and he just added an extra cloak, and Phiria was about to pile herself into a Christmas tree.

"It turns out that it's hard to stay beautiful." Eli sighed from the bottom of her heart.

However, Phiria refused to discuss the topic with Eli when she was about to be late, and she was able to pick Eli up and get into the carriage in such a costume.

The lord's carriage was spacious, with thick fleece blankets on the floor, precious and ornate satin curtains on the walls, and berries and hot fried potatoes and carrot gnocchi on a small wooden table in the center.

Firia picked up a ripe berry and stuffed it into Eli's mouth, and she affectionately pasted Eli's forehead: "This is the first official appearance of our little Eli, and I can't drop the chain, right?" ”

The sweet juice of the berries spread in her mouth, and Eli blinked, tilting her head against Phiria.

During the carriage's journey, Firia slowly talked about the Lopu family.

The Lope family did not exist in Francis for a long time, it moved from a distant territory when the old lord had just succeeded to the throne, it was not abundant, it has always been low-key and silent, and it was once an easily overlooked existence in aristocratic circles.

Until Iris collapsed, Luo Pu rushed out of the shadows like a wolf, stepping on the wreckage of Iris and quickly stepping into the very center of the aristocratic circle.

The leap in status did not change the low-key approach of the Lopu family, and they maintained close ties with each family, always supporting only the lord of Francis, like a lone wolf pack living in the mountains watching other animals from afar.

Speaking of this, Firia paused and suddenly said, "Luopu's heir is called Clarence Luopu, today is his seventh birthday, if you like him, you can be friends with him." ”

The subject turned a little stiffly, and Eli looked up at Phiria's soft face.

He asked, "If I like him, can I bring him to the castle to grow beets?" ”

"Of course," Firia suddenly realized that something was wrong, "aren't your two plots of land planted with potatoes and sweet potatoes?" And when did beets happen? ”

Eli's expression froze instantly: Oh no, I forgot to tell Firia that I had shoveled one of her iris clumps to grow beets when I was interrupted by a derivative mission!

Firia's eyes grew dangerous.

At this moment, a crisp girl's voice came from outside the car: "May I ask if it is the lord's wife and the little master?" ”

The wheels of the carriage stopped, and Firia lifted the curtain in front of the window with her feather fan close together, and looked at the girl in a knight's uniform with a sassy ponytail.

"Miss Lopu." Firia bowed her head a little coldly, counting it as a greeting.

The girl made an overly honest knightly salute, and slammed her fist into her chest, and the muffled sound made Eli's chest ach a little.

Phirea lowered the curtain, flicked Eli's head, and said menacingly, "Go back and give me a good quibble about your beets." ”

Eli covered his forehead aggrievedly: You husband and wife really like to settle accounts after the autumn.

The groom opened the curtain of the carriage, and Phirea bent down with her skirt and walked out, her eyes slightly lowered, and she stepped on the small wooden bench with her maid's arm slightly down.

"Eli." The beautiful and elegant lady turned back and called calmly into the carriage.

The key words made all the nobles who pretended that they suddenly needed to breathe at the door of other people's manors instantly abandon the disguise that could only deceive themselves, and looked over in unison.

Like a row of searchlights.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long, and soon, the protagonist stepped out of the luxurious carriage that was covered with a veil of mystery.

Francis's finest craftsmen could not have carved out the delicate features, and the silver hair, which glowed white in the moonlight, seemed to contain a galaxy of stars, and purple eyes that were clearer than crystal. He is obviously not as tall as many adults, but he already has an innate noble temperament.

This is Francis and Curtis's little young master.

Only a small fraction of the nobles were able to attend the banquet at the lord's castle, and a large part of this small group had only seen Eli from a distance, and had never seen Eli so clearly.

"Oh my God," a noble lady gasped and covered her heart, and she gave up her ladylike image and poked her little sister with her elbow, "Do you think my child can be half as beautiful as the little master?" ”

The little sister struggled for a moment, and finally answered truthfully: "I think there should be some difficulties." ”

The noble lady was not angry, she nodded approvingly: "The lady is so beautiful, the lord is so handsome, it should not be easy to give birth to a child like the little master." ”

Eli didn't know that his appearance had played a role, and he was listening to Phiria's greetings with the eldest lady of the Lopu family with a polite smile.

"How is your mother doing?"

The eldest lady nodded affirmatively: "Very good, but I often miss Madame, and I think about when I will invite Madame to the hunting ground again." ”

"Anytime." Firia promised.

It seems that Lady Lopu and Firia still have handkerchiefs, Eli thought, no wonder Firia hinted that she could try to be friends with Lopu's heir.

The eldest lady's gaze fell on Eli, her gaze was strangely hot, Eli looked back and received a friendly and bright smile.

I don't know if it's the characteristics of the Luopu family, this eldest lady's eyes are very distinctive, the black pupils are oval different from ordinary people, and the gray-blue eyes are also wrapped with a layer of ice blue.

Just like the eyes of a wolf, it is very much in line with Firia's evaluation of the Luopu family, it is the vigorous aura that this eldest lady exudes from the inside out always makes him hallucinate huskies.

Huskies and wolves should be considered close relatives.

"Please come with me, Mother is waiting for you."

When Firia and Eli appeared in the hall, the nobles even paused in their conversation.

Of course, the top part of the aristocracy couldn't do anything to find an excuse to see at the door, and the look in his eyes was very vague, and he couldn't bear to add up, and Eli even felt like a monkey in a zoo.

Those eyes were also much more complicated, a mixture of good-natured malice and simple curiosity, and if Eli wasn't a pseudo-child, he would probably have left a psychological shadow.

Fortunately, Firia had no desire to show her children to others, and she took Eli's hand and followed the eldest lady up the stairs covered with animal skin blankets, and at the end of the stairs stood a smiling dark-haired woman.

"Lisa." Firea let go of Eli and stepped forward to give Lady Lopu a dragonfly hug.

"It's really an honor for Luo Pu to bring the little master here." Mrs. Lopu turned sideways and swept the hall casually, "Please follow me." ”

Firia and Lady Lopu walked side by side, and the eldest lady, who had been eager for a long time, suppressed her excitement and asked Eli's opinion: "Can I take you there?" ”

What's wrong with that, Eli put his hand in the girl's dry, warm palm, and the action caused his sleeve to pull up, revealing the green bracelet on his wrist.

This bracelet is different from the usual smooth and uniform thickness, it seems to be made of slender vines overlapping and spiraling, and it also has the translucent luster that is characteristic of gemstones. Very special and also very beautiful.

"This bracelet is so pretty."

"My teacher gave it to me." Eli raised his hand and shook it.

They walked into the terrace on the second floor, the curtain on which was so thick that no one could see what they were doing when they closed it.

Mrs. Lopu closed the curtain on her front foot, and with her back foot she gave Firea a firm hug, in stark contrast to the one on the staircase, and Eli was dumbfounded.

"When will you go to the hunting ground again?" Mrs. Lopu was very purposeful and asked straight to the point.

Firia nudged her and quipped, "What are you going to do?" Watch you bet on a rabbit with magic and then throw yourself into a pit? ”

"If you slander me in front of your children, I'm going to reveal all the things you've done."

Firia seemed to have some sort of early history in Lady Lopu's hand, and she raised her fingers and shh

Eli rarely saw her feel this way, not that Firea was always suppressing herself in front of them, but that Lady Lopu might have a unique meaning to her.

Mrs. Lopu crouched in front of Eli with the hem of her skirt, and she magically shook out a silver necklace from her hand, with a green gem in the shape of a drop falling from the middle of the necklace. Eli recognized it as a well-planted jadeite.

"Eli is so old, I haven't seen you properly." Mrs. Lopu resisted the urge to rub Eli's head and whispered, "This is a small gift for Eli. ”

Eli subconsciously looked at Firia, and only after Fieria nodded lightly did she take the necklace with a polite sentence: "Thank you, ma'am." ”

The child's thanks were always very sincere, and Mrs. Lopu was so overjoyed that she was about to continue to say something, when the eldest lady, who had just left, pushed open the door to the terrace.

"Mother, I brought Clarence here."

Clarence? Eli looked over curiously.

The thin boy stood beside the eldest lady with a book in his arms, his expression was indifferent, holding a thick book, and he seemed to be a cool brother who didn't care much about people.

"Clarence has come just in time," Lady Lopu said positively, "and this is Eli." ”

Cool brother Clarence glanced at Eli and replied slowly, "I know, the one that grows potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the one with a dragon." ”
