Chapter 12 Invitation

After the meal, Leo hurriedly took the butler to the guest room prepared by the count, and told the butler everything that happened on the table.The butler is just a servant, and of course it is impossible to dine with the master.It was the same in Earl Flory's castle. No matter how close the earl and the butler were, the butler was not allowed to dine with the earl.Therefore, everything that happened at the dinner table still needs to be dictated by Leo himself.

What Leo is most shocked about now is that not everyone can kill the earth storm bear, and the known places where the earth storm bear exists, besides the wild hunting ground specially circled in the imperial capital, another place where the earth storm bear exists is The Lost Forest next to the Earl's Land.Is it possible that Count Flory has reached the level where he can freely enter and exit the Lost Forest and can hunt the earth storm bear? Or, before anyone knew it, Count Flory advanced to become a knight of justice?You know, there are only a handful of knights of justice on the mainland. If Baron Flory really advanced, it would be terrible.

Leo looked at the butler who was pacing and thinking in the bedroom and said: "Butler, according to the current situation, the Earl's situation is very inconsistent with the rumors from the outside world. Do you think Earl Flory deliberately hid himself? Would he? Already advanced? And that Miss Caroline is also inconsistent with the rumors. When we first met, Miss Caroline would look at me with a disdainful expression. Isn’t it said that Miss Caroline’s character is submissive? A submissive woman, How dare you look down on a knight? Besides, can a waste really be favored by the count? Or can a waste develop that drink called fruit juice?"

He is in a mess right now. It seems that his Grandpa Duke is really old, and he didn't investigate all of this clearly. He underestimated Earl Flory's desire to completely break with him and sent them to divorce him.Hey, what should I do, if Earl Flory really has some hidden secrets, then if I provoke him this time, I will be the first to suffer.If something happened to him, the family would definitely not offend a great knight with unlimited potential for himself.Although he has good talent, there is never a shortage of boys with excellent talent in the big family.

After listening to Leo's narration, the steward also hesitated for a while. Over the years, the Duke's reputation in the imperial capital has been in full swing, and he has become arrogant.Let's just say that this matter of retiring the engagement was settled quietly in private, which is good for everyone, and he insisted on making the whole empire known.It's all right now, Earl Flory is so confident, it can be seen that the Earl's life has become more comfortable these years.The duke is good, it's good to give orders every day in the imperial capital, which makes him and the young master tremble with fear here.If Earl Flory wanted to attack him and the young master in spite of his feelings, how could they escape from other people's territory with the people they brought.

Looking at Leo with a sad face, the steward sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "Master Leo, we can only investigate by ourselves now, let's not talk about the divorce, and stay in Earl Flory's territory more In time, he, the earl, will never drive us out. Even if rumors spread outside, as long as we don’t speak out in person, then what outsiders say won’t matter.” I waited for someone to investigate in private first, and then Decide whether to divorce or what.Now the only way is this one, if you rashly explain your intention, the consequences may be disastrous.

Leo nodded, he couldn't think of a better way than this, so he could only do this first.The people he admired should not be slumped because they are not valued by the empire, so Leo believes that Earl Flory must have some unknown cards.Moreover, Leo is very curious, what is the reason why a girl is willing to bear the reputation of a waste and live with humiliation.You know, a girl's reputation is related to her life's happiness.In this era when women are disadvantaged, if a woman has a bad reputation, she cannot marry a good husband. Without a good husband, what happiness is there?
It's a pity that they thought Caroline and the Earl were too great.If it weren't for Caroline's good luck to find the person who entered the Lost Forest and came out safely, then what she is facing now is definitely a humiliating divorce.If Caroline hadn't traveled to this different world by accident, the fate of the Earl and Caroline might not have changed.However, this may be the benefit of traveling through the legend, or it may have its own destiny.

That night, the big shots in the castle basically had no sleep at all.

In the early morning, the sound of birdsong woke up the sleeping people in the castle.Rusting sounds came from each room, and gradually, people came out of the room one after another.The castle slowly filled with life.A few naughty children were washing their faces by the well, splashing water on the busy maids from time to time.The knights put on their armor and came to the open space outside the castle to start training.The sound of ping-pong-pong swords kept ringing, making people sound excited.The servants began to clean the yard and make breakfast.The owners of the castle washed and dressed, then sat at the dining table and talked.

"I don't know if there is something important this time that requires the future heir to the duke to come to my remote place in person." The count looked at Leo and asked. Although he knew what they were here for, the count still asked.He wants to confirm it with his own ears, and also find an excuse for what he will do in the near future.If people don't offend me, I won't offend others. If this kid is really so shameless, then don't blame him for being cold-blooded and ruthless.Everything is for my precious daughter.

Leo exchanged glances with the housekeeper standing not far away, and then replied with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I've been a little bored after staying in the imperial capital for a long time, just walking around. It just so happened that Grandpa mentioned you, so I just stopped by to visit you. Speaking of which, Grandpa asked me to bring you some presents, which were in the carriage yesterday. It is not something expensive, and I hope the Earl will not dislike it."

After saying these words, Leo and the butler were in pain. There were a lot of gold, silver and jewels on the carriage, all to appease the earl after the divorce, but now they were used to give favors. If the Duke knew about it, he would probably Let the dogs scold them bloody.However, if it's what I imagined, then these things are still useful.

The count sneered in his heart, then looked at Leo with a smile on his face and said: "Then there is Master Laureo, remember to take me to say hello to the Duke when I go home. I have a job to leave, and it is inconvenient to go to the imperial capital, so I won’t thank the Duke personally.”

"Okay, okay, I will definitely bring the Earl's words." Seeing that the Earl didn't say anything, Leo replied hastily: "This time, I will trouble the Earl to entertain you. I want to stay longer in the Earl's territory. Some time later, I don’t know if the Earl can make it easier.” Although living in the castle is not convenient for them to investigate, it is also because there is a greater possibility of discovering secrets in the castle.So after discussing with the steward, Leo decided to live in the castle like this, and then quietly investigated.

The count didn't know what kind of idea Leo had, but he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he said, "I want to stay as long as I want, anyway, there are a lot of vacant rooms in the castle. But I hope that Master Leo will not disturb my daughter." The count thought He pointed out that he already knew the purpose of Leo's visit, and warned Leo not to get close to Caroline, trying to start with her.

Leo's heart trembled, and he hurriedly replied: "I understand, I understand, the Earl can rest assured." It seems that Earl Flory doesn't want to tear himself apart, but it's okay, as long as he doesn't provoke Miss Caroline , I believe Earl Flory will not embarrass himself.Thinking about this, Leo felt relieved, at least until they investigate clearly, their personal safety is still guaranteed.

Seeing that Leo is so sensible, the Earl didn't say much. No matter what Leo or the Duke pay attention to, with his current ability, it is still possible to protect himself, so he is not worried that someone will What a trick.But for fear that Caroline would feel uncomfortable, it is better not to let them meet each other.

The maid cautiously shuttled around the dining table, for fear of offending the young master from the imperial capital if she was not careful.I heard that the eldest young master came to divorce the young lady, but why did he leave without finishing talking and stay here for a few more days?The servants were very strange in their hearts, but they didn't dare to discuss it openly. If the Earl knew, their heads would be moved.

It wasn't long before Caroline got dressed and came down the stairs.

Caroline was wearing a gorgeous but simple black outfit today, her long hair in a shawl was combed into a ponytail, and she looked very energetic.The little face was flushed, and his heart was very excited.Today is a big day, at least for Caroline, she is going to the Lost Forest again.Because of the earl's generous act last night, the wild vegetables dug up a while ago are running out. In order to entertain Leo, the earl decided to send someone there.But Caroline is going to go in secretly this time, because she has a big event to do.

After a quiet breakfast, the earl took people out to run errands.He believed that Leo would not dare to take the initiative to find Caroline, so that Caroline would not see Leo, and would not have any emotions.Unfortunately, he didn't expect that his daughter would take the initiative to trouble Leo.

After taking the earl away, Caroline came to Leo, saluted with a smile, and then said, "Excuse me, are you free today?"

Caroline's smile was fake. Although Leo didn't want to talk to Caroline, he had no reason not to answer a lady's question, so he saluted Caroline and said, "I don't know what Caroline is?" What's the matter with Miss Rowling?" With a polite look, if she didn't know his purpose from the beginning, Caroline wouldn't have any objection, but now facing Leo like this, Caroline is quite upset in her heart of.

"Since you are fine, can you go out with me?" A knight cannot refuse a lady's invitation. Caroline knew this, so she invited Leo openly.Don't bully her just because she is just a girl, there is a price to pay, Caroline thought to herself, with a cold gleam in her eyes.
