Lord Highlander

   Chapter 690 679. Smile

  Suldak rode to the mansion of Marquis Luther, and handed a letter of visit to the housekeeper in the concierge of the mansion.

  The butler quickly invited Suldak and his party into the living room, and a maid brought tea and pastries to Suldak and the others.

  The butler sent a maid to spread the news of Suldak's visit to the Marquis's residence.

Since Suldak successfully proposed to Miss Hathaway more than two months ago, and was recognized by the Marquis Luther and Mrs. Marianne, it is much easier to visit the Marquis Luther’s mansion than other nobles. The Marquess of Luther will not surprise anyone either.

   "Is the Marquis in the mansion?" Suldak raised his head and asked the young foreign affairs steward.

  The butler said very respectfully: "Your Excellency went to the House of Representatives in the morning. Recently, there are many issues in the House of Representatives. Your Excellency is busy almost every day until late. Recently, many nobles from the Tarapakan area have fled to Bena City for refuge."

   I didn't expect that Marquis Luthor, who received the garrison mission on the plane, would be so busy every day. The situation in Bena province is not as optimistic as it seems on the surface.

It has been more than four years since Duke Newman led the Bena Legion into the Warsaw plane, and the situation in the Warsaw plane is still unclear. If this continues, it will not be a good thing for the Bena Legion. The price paid by the noble lords of Handanar County and Bena Province is a bit too high.

   Lord McDonnell's idea of ​​leaving the province of Bena seems to have been made clear. Marquis Luther is a representative of the main combat faction in the province of Bena, so he naturally cannot be absent from this kind of meeting.

  Suldak was not prepared either, he asked the housekeeper again: "What about Miss Hathaway?"

   "Miss Hathaway entered the Foreign Affairs Bureau of Bena City a while ago. Every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday morning, she will handle official duties in the Foreign Affairs Bureau."

Suldak did not expect to find a job in the Foreign Affairs Bureau. His last letter to Hathaway was also written two months ago before leading the army into the desert. At that time, he also told Hathaway in the letter that he would leave Wall village for a period of time, during this period can not write to her.

   Unexpectedly, two and a half months later, when she returned to Bena City, she found that Hathaway had actually found a job, probably because staying at home was too boring.

  Suldak's thoughts flew far away for a while...

   "Baron Suldak, Mrs. Marianne is waiting for you in the living room." The butler said in front of Suldak, calling him back from his distraction.

  Mrs. Marianne's personal maid saluted Suldak at the door, and said softly: "Baron Suldak, madam asked me to come pick you up."

  Suldak got up quickly and followed the maid out.

The place where Mrs. Marian received Suldak was a small living room. There were two rows of tables and chairs on both sides of the room. The walls around the room were covered with gorgeous wallpapers. Suldak saw Mrs. Marian wearing a golden Sitting on a chair in the middle of the living room in an iris-style court dress, a beam of light shone in from the colorful window glass behind her, forming spots of light on the floor of the living room.

  Four maids stood on both sides of Mrs. Marian. When Suldak walked into the living room, all eyes fell on him.

   Salute and sit down.

  Madam Marian's soft eyes fell on Suldak, and she asked, "Dak, are you coming to Bena City this time to go to the Bailin plane with the legion?"

   "After receiving the call-up order from Marquis Luther, I led the cavalry battalion to Bena City." Suldak said.

  The maid took out milk tea and placed it in front of Suldak. There was a faint aroma in the teacup. The maid leaned over to stir the milk tea evenly, and squatted beside him.

  Mrs. Marianne stared at Suldak and asked, "When I was chatting with Mrs. Annabelle a few days ago, I also talked about your establishment of a cavalry battalion. So... are you ready now?"

   "Yes, madam." Surdak replied.

  Mrs. Marianne's eyes flashed with surprise, and said: "Ferdinand wanted to help you back then. After all, if you want to form an army, it will be very difficult at the beginning. I didn't expect you to be able to do it so well!"

"I just recruited some recruits and veterans who retired from the battlefield. Many of them have never been cavalry before, but they are all working hard to train cavalry. I believe they will soon adapt to cavalry life." Sur Duck said a little cautiously.

  The maid squatting beside him peeled off a lavender fruit, twisted it with **** and brought it to his mouth.

  As long as he wants to eat, he can eat it with his mouth open.

  Suldak had never tried this kind of service before, he didn't know how to do it, and asked Mrs. Marian blushingly: "How is Miss Hathaway recently?"

   "Recently, Wei seems to be interested in some foreign affairs, so she went to the Foreign Affairs Bureau to find a clerical job. Today happened to be on duty, and she won't be back until the afternoon." Mrs. Marian pursed her lips, controlling the smile on her face.

  Knowing that Suldak has no noble family background behind him, so he doesn't have some bad habits that nobles have, this makes Madam Marian very satisfied.

   "If I want to see her now, will you think I'm being rude?" Suldak stood up from his seat and asked Madam Marianne.

  He was tall and straight, looking a little heroic, as if he couldn't wait to see Hathaway.

  Madam Marianne covered her slightly upturned mouth with a round fan, and said to Suldak with relief, "You want to see Hathaway now? If so, I can send someone to show you the way."

   After finishing speaking, he waved to the maid standing aside and ordered: "You lead Baron Suldak to the Foreign Affairs Bureau to find Hathaway."

   "Thank you, Mrs. Marianne..." Suldak gave a knight salute to Mrs. Marianne.

  Suldak followed the maid to leave the Marquis's Mansion in a luxurious magic caravan, followed by Andrew and a pair of cavalrymen, walking down the long street, which seemed very pompous. He leaned on the soft leather sofa, his whole body seemed to be embedded in it, and the feeling of being half-wrapped in leather seemed to be able to quickly eliminate the fatigue on his body.

  Through the glass window, Suldak looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers secretly blooming on the street under the chilly spring, and suddenly felt in his heart that this is the life of a nobleman!

  …

  This area gathers many of the most prestigious nobles in the city of Bena. These mansions are almost surrounded by the Duke of Newman's castle, which is collectively referred to as the northern part of the city of Bena.

  Of course, the City Hall of Bena City and some other offices are almost concentrated in the northern part of the city.

The City Hall was built on the south side of the Peace Square in front of Newman Castle. The entire row of buildings here are administrative units and offices. The Foreign Affairs Bureau is also in this row of buildings. This is the political center of the province of Bena. All strategic decisions are released from here.

  The Foreign Affairs Bureau accepts business and government invitations and visits from provinces and above. Bena Province is an inland province of the Grimm Empire, and it is also one of the few provinces that has not been invaded by the Dark Legion of Hell.

Although the Duke of Newman and the Bena Legion were restrained in the Warsaw plane, the development of the Bena province has not stagnated. Nowadays, other provinces of the Grimm Empire often send official letters, many of which invite the great lords in the Bena province They sent troops together to resist the Dark Legion of Abyss Hell.

  Of course, this kind of thing is not for nothing. Most of them will give up a piece of plane territory, including some rich mines, herbal gardens, monster forests and so on.

   As the situation in the Green Empire became more and more tense.

It is said that the Mohist Legion, which is guarding the Vala Valley on the plane of Kenda, has sealed the magic eye there with the full cooperation of the Royal Knights, the North and the South, and the main force of the Mohist Legion was temporarily relieved and officially joined the confrontation In the battle of the Dark Legion of Hell.

  At the same time, the South Wind Legion located in Haiyinsi City signed an armistice agreement with the Naga Sea Clan in the Endless Sea. Under the leadership of Prince James, the South Wind Legion joined the war of planes with the main construction knights.

Jingyue. After Duchess Ellie took charge of the North Wind Legion, the North Wind Legion and the barbarians of the ice and snow tundra had several battles in the past two years. Enter the bit plane battlefield.

   Plane wars in the Grimm Empire are raging, and the nobles and lords of all provinces in the empire are also ready to move, but the stakes in the war are a bit high. Before the situation is clear, the lords are still unwilling to act rashly.

   It was under such circumstances that the Foreign Affairs Bureau of Bena Province became extremely busy, receiving various official letters on commercial and political matters almost every day.

Hathaway was sitting in the office, facing the desk were the official letters to be reviewed. These official letters were all applications submitted by the small lords in other provinces. After all, looking at it now, the province of Bena was one of the few that had not been invaded by the dark forces of the abyss. One of the provinces of the private plane, these small lords from other provinces applied to join the province of Bena with some reasonable reasons.

  The land in the main plane of Bena Province has been divided very loosely, and it is impossible to accept the application of the lord to join.

   At this time, of course, we must choose some outstanding lords to join the province of Bena.

Hathaway's current job is to review, organize and classify, which is the job of a junior clerk. She only has three working days a week, and each working day is only half a day. The official letters on the desk are already a foot high. .

  As Hathaway's personal assistant, what the round-faced Beatrice has to do every day is to receive official letters and register them, and then move them to Hathaway's desk after sorting them out.

"I think that Beard is just looking for trouble on purpose. He's trying to draw your attention to him." Beatrice hugged a hot water cup, took a sip of sweet milk tea, squinted her eyes, and curled her long eyelashes And up, her desktop is a bit messy, but the handwriting on the account book is fairly neat.

  Seeing Hathaway's desk, Beatrice knew that today's afternoon tea might stay in this office.

"This is also my part of the job. I go to see the official letters on the desks of other clerks, and there are almost as many!" Hathaway wore a tube skirt and a white shirt with lace on the chest. She looked like a professional woman. There is a faint smile in the white eyes, and the eyes pass by the birds on the branches outside the window, and I see the buds from the treetops, spring is here.

   Beatrice rolled her eyes, knowing that her girlfriend's thoughts had flown away again.

  But she still has to nag a bit, maybe once such complaints are spoken out, she will feel better in her heart.

She puffed up her face like a red apple, and muttered: "I only saw it from Teacher Sabrina before, and I didn't know they were nobles in Bena City, but I just wanted to post it at this time. They are talking about their own political opinions all night, as if the high-level members of the House of Representatives adopted their suggestions, and the war of planes will end immediately, they can only mourn at the ball, but no one appreciates their talents, my old man God, Hathaway, I don't want to participate in this kind of boring dance party anymore."

  Hathaway threw the quill pen into the inkwell accurately, stretched on the chair, and said:

   "Forget it, just ignore him, no matter what we do at this time, it will make him feel good about himself."

   "It's just that there are so many things, it's really annoying. I also want to go horseback riding in the manor outside the city..."

  Hathaway rubbed her forehead, looked at the increasingly thick spring colors outside the window with some distress, and said quietly.

   "Do you think we should write him a letter?" Beatrice asked, blinking.

Hathaway shook her head, walked to the window and said: "The family legion is ready to go, he should be here soon, if he is not in Hailansa City, I don't want the letter written by the two of us to be received by his wife Take it apart, if that's the case, wouldn't you feel a little embarrassed?"

   Beatrice put her hand to her forehead and closed her mouth.

A magic caravan was parked in front of the downstairs steps. Although the dense branches blocked the whole view of the magic caravan, for a moment, Hathaway clearly saw the silver family emblem on the car. the carriage, but Beatrice said:

   "I saw our family's carriage, it's strange, why did you come to pick us up so early today?"

Beatrice's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "If it's so early, why don't you go out for lunch? I think we can try the dwarf-style restaurant at the street corner. I heard that the rum tastes good there. The bread is very authentic, baked by a dwarf baker invited from Stan."

"ah!"

  Hathaway let out a scream, covered her mouth, waved Beatrice vigorously, turned around and rushed out of the office, even wearing a tube skirt seemed to be unable to stop her footsteps.

Beatrice didn't know the situation, but followed without hesitation. When she rushed out, she didn't forget to grab the fur coats of the two of them in her hands, and followed Hathaway closely. On the wooden floor of the office A series of rapid notes are stepped on.

  Beard was walking up the stairs with a roll of maps in his hands, when he saw Hathaway rushing towards him, surprise appeared on his face.

  Just as he was about to speak, he saw Hathaway quickly passing by him and rushing downstairs. The surprise on his face turned into a difference, and he asked quickly:

   "Hey, where are you going?"

  No one responded, he quickly turned around and supported the guardrail of the spiral staircase with both hands, leaned out and asked downstairs:

   "Miss Hathaway, what happened?"

  Beatrice also ran down the stairs quickly past him, and Beard tried to grab Beatrice's arm and said to her earnestly:

   "Beatrice, is there anything I can do for you?"

  Beatrice shook off his hand without looking back, and Beard immediately chased after Beatrice, trotting and asking:

   "Did something happen at home? My carriage is parked outside..."

In a blink of an eye, I ran to the lobby on the first floor. At this time, the glass door of the lobby of the Foreign Affairs Bureau was opened by the guard at the door. A tall figure walked in from the door, followed by a maid. He walked into the lobby and looked at the first floor curiously. The layout of the hall, he seemed to be here for the first time, he was a little unfamiliar with it, and was about to go back and say something to the maid behind him.

  Hathaway rushed out from the stairs and yelled casually: "Dark..."

  There were still many clerks in the hall, and everyone was attracted by Hathaway's shout, but she rushed over for a moment, throwing herself fiercely into the arms of the tall figure...

   Beatrice, who was following Hathaway, also let out an exclamation, and rushed over. The tall figure could only spread out another arm, holding Beatrice in her arms.

  ‘Wow…’

  At this moment, the scroll of the map in Beard's arms was rolling from his arms, jumping and scattered on the marble floor at the stairway.

  He stared blankly at Suldak standing at the door, hugging Hathaway, who he had spent countless efforts to catch up with, in his arms.

  At this moment, it seems that the sky is dark.

"How did you come?"

Hathaway hugged Suldak fiercely. When she calmed down, she realized that this was the office of the Foreign Affairs Bureau. arm, half-pull and half-drag him up the stairs.

   When passing by Beard, Suldak gave him a polite smile...
