Ulysses Miles glanced at his butler with an indifferent expression.

Old Jill lowered his head and did not look at the head of the house, and the air around him froze with this glance.

"Go and call Tonali, the guests will be there in a moment. ”

Ulysses withdrew his substantive gaze and spoke coldly.

Old Jill nodded and slowly retreated, and only quickly turned around and left until he was more than ten meters away.

Looking at the distant butler, Ulysses was silent for a few seconds, then turned his head to look at the gate of the villa.

Looking out through the wide open iron fence gate, a delicate and noble carriage was slowly approaching, becoming clearer and clearer.

......

Andu looked at the group of people in front of him and had a headache.

Tonali was fine, but Tours had fallen on the round table with a face full of ripples, and there were five or six bottles scattered in front of him.

The bottles are upside down and stand upside down, including champagne, vodka and even a bottle of brandy.

Looking along the bottle of brandy, I was greeted by a man who was giggling, Archibald.

Andu wanted to go up and ask him what he was laughing at, but when he thought of his crazy appearance just now, and his drunken reaction after vomiting all over the ground, he resisted the urge after thinking about it.

I looked down at the white dress I bought a few days ago, if I was vomited, would I still be able to wear it in the future?

The only normal Dennis was sobering up on the side, although he didn't drink as much as the previous two, but compared to Andu, who only drank two glasses of red wine, his record was proud enough.

"What now?" Andu frowned at Tonali.

"What else can I do, either wake up or go to the room. Tonali spread his hands and didn't care.

"That's okay!?" Andu's eyes widened, "Won't it affect the banquet?"

Tonali said casually: "They haven't inherited the family yet, so they can't count, otherwise you think they dare to do this?"

This is not quite the kind of aristocratic banquet I imagined...... Andu complained silently.

In my former impression, the aristocrats should always have a glass of red wine, gossip with people everywhere, and go to the dance floor from time to time to dance a dance.

How could there be a nobleman who got drunk before he even started? That really disgraced the whole family......

"When they inherit the family, it will be fine, and now it is not bad. ”

Tonali pointed to Archibald, who was still giggling,

Archibald's father was an honorary citizen of Halma, so he could be said to be a prominent person, but he was only the third in line in the family. ”

Andu nodded, instantly understanding their reaction.

Tonali laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm different, I'm just my son, it doesn't matter if I'm a bastard or not, anyway, his position will be mine in the future, don't be as tired as Archibald lives." ”

Andu gave Tonali a serious look and added, "You look a lot more bastard than Archibald, and you can live a long time if you are not the first in line." ”

Tonali said angrily, "Why am I a bastard, I also donated five hundred silver dollars to Halma's charity fundraiser last year!"

Andu wondered, "Isn't that the money Viscount Ulysses gave you?"

Tonali immediately said: "It's in my pocket, it's mine!"

Andu glanced at Tonali and turned his attention to Dennis, who had recovered more or less heavily.

"How are you?"

Dennis looked around with a blank look, and then slowly turned to Andu, and stammered a little: "It's okay, it's okay......"

Tonali glanced at Dennis and reminded,

"You can't skip the feast like Archibald, or the chief knight will skin you. ”

Dennis seemed to remember something, his body shook suddenly, and his somewhat empty gaze instantly cleared up a lot.

"I'm going to wash my face!"

Andu looked at Dennis, who was suddenly energetic, and couldn't help but laugh.

I don't know what these people will be like when they inherit the family in the future?

"The picture must be beautiful. ”

Andu couldn't help but give birth to a picture in his heart, a wanton and flamboyant face, with a suit of formal clothes and guards, inexplicably funny.

"Knock knock!"

A knock at the door interrupted his imagination, and the magnetic voice of the old butler sounded from behind the door.

"Young Master, the banquet is about to begin. ”

Tonali said subconsciously.

"Father is back?"

"Yes, the lord is already greeting guests. ”

After two seconds of silence outside the door, the old butler's answer came as expected.

Andu pushed Tonali and smiled, "Let's go!"

Tonali took a deep breath, and most of the drunken alcohol he had just drunk dissipated.

Out of the wine room, Tonali commanded old Jill,

"Help Archibald and Tours find two rooms, and Dennis will take him to the main banquet if he can. ”

"Yes, young master. Old Jill bowed his head in response.

After straightening his collar and confirming that his image was not damaged, the prodigal son, who usually lived a little debauched, walked out with a satisfied face.

Walking with Tonali in the dimly lit corridor, the two were silent for a moment.

I don't know what the banquet of the nobles was like...... Isn't it boring, I can't dance...... Andu suddenly thought worriedly.

"I wonder what my future wife looks like?"

Tonali's opening broke the silence between the two.

"It shouldn't be too bad, but haven't you always been indifferent to marriage?"

Andu thought for a moment.

Tonali's expression was a little lonely, and he said abruptly: "But I still don't want my marriage to become a victim of politics and family!"

Nodding silently, Andu felt that he really had too much say in this point.

In the era of virtual networks, he has seen too many men and women pursuing true love, but this thing is too particular about fate and timing.

But no matter what, in the end, everyone still decides who to marry, and the parents' decision is already very small.

The few marriages that are decided by parents only exist for those who actually stand at the top of the pyramid, and as the first person in the gaming world, he has seen many of these things.

But in the final analysis, those young people still have some right to speak about this kind of thing that they have seen, such as running away from home, giving up the inheritance rights of the family, and crazy adding black material to themselves......

But Tonali in front of him, he doesn't have this right, because he is an only son, and in this world, for the sake of the continuation of the family, he has no choice.

Tonali's family was a real family, and unlike those honorary families, he had his own fiefdom, and it was just a few hundred kilometers away from Halma, and there were quite a few people in the family, and the clans of each branch coveted his place.

If something happens to him, then his father, Viscount Ulysses, will have to choose an heir from his kinship, and he will have to make sacrifices in order to maintain his position.

This is also why Viscount Ulysses obviously has his own fiefdom, and it is the same as working in Halma, just to maintain his authority and status in the family.

Viscount Ulysses was a success, and he was the most vocal about this summer's mayoral election.

And as his only son, Tonali was destined to gain and lose something in his life.

Starting from more than ten years of experience and experience in his own network, Andu thought for a long time and then said,

"You can get married first, and then fall in love!"

Tonali's expression was surprised at first, then complicated, and finally eccentric.

"You're kidding me, aren't you?"

Andu shook his head and said: "I'm serious, I'm married anyway, if the relationship is also negotiated, isn't it the same as love?"

Tonali made a rare serious thought, but within two seconds he denied the claim,

"It's so unreasonable, and what if she's ugly?"

Andu sympathized: "Then you better give up your heart that longs for love." ”

After speaking, he added: "Anyway, I haven't seen you interested in women." ”

Tonali said disdainfully: "When I changed three in one night, you didn't see it!"

"Are you sure you didn't drink too much that day, not a dream?"

"How is it possible, that guy from Tours is next door, you can ask him when he wakes up!"

？？？

The aristocratic circle is terrible...... Andu decisively chose to shut up.

The two of them returned to the courtyard again, and it was almost eleven o'clock, and the guests had almost arrived.

Among the large number of figures, Andu still saw the most conspicuous man at a glance.

Ulysses Myers.

"Lord Viscount...... Don't mind anymore?"

Tonali nodded and said seriously,

"I don't know why, but he asked me to go to the manor in the suburbs yesterday to find him, and when I was asked to arrange a banquet, he specifically mentioned you. ”

Andu's expression was a little confused: "Mention me?"

Tonali let out an "um" and continued, "Say he has something to thank you. ”

Andu looked at the distant gaze for a moment, and then said casually,

"I seem to ...... Didn't you do anything to be thankful for?"

Tonali said calmly: "I don't know, you should know when you go to see him in a while." ”

Thank me, what did I do?

Is it the one I tried against Darcy at trial? or is it Dominic's?

Or had he already guessed that Darcy's death had something to do with me?

Marat's Dead Church didn't preach it, and it shouldn't have been......

Putting away his watchful gaze, he suddenly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"It's still too weak...... I don't even have the slightest bargaining chip......"

Andu felt anxious in his heart, he hadn't been so anxious for a long time since he had obtained the Ring of Pencia.

It seems that it is time to prepare the card ring for the second ring...... Calculate the time, and you should reach the bottleneck around the end of the month at the latest.

Retracting his thoughts, Andu was about to go to say hello to Viscount Ulysses, but a stir in the crowd discouraged him.

Outside the gate, a carriage slowly stopped, and a middle-aged man wearing an expensive purple and black evening dress stepped out of it.

The man's hair is neatly combed back to the back of his head, looking very energetic and young, he is tall, but he gives people a very restrained feeling.

After he stepped out of the carriage, he did not greet Viscount Ulysses, who had already met him, but turned to look at the carriage behind him and stretched out his left hand.

A slender and delicate arm reached out, and the palm of the white silk glove was placed on the man's outstretched left hand.
