Luo Xing Manor is quiet and peaceful at night, but unlike other nights this month where the place is almost deathly quiet, tonight in Luo Xing Manor in addition to the chirping of insects that has never stopped since the beginning of summer, you can also hear The crisp sound of pots and pans hitting each other, and the pop of dishes being cooked and fried in the pot.
Vivian, Liz and Linda were carefully preparing dinner that was at least two hours late.
The reason why it was so much later than usual was because Xu Yi came back from Luoyu Valley today, which was rare.
Although he was going to attend the dinner hosted by the Lord of the City, he clearly informed Vivian and others that he might not be able to eat much at the dinner and would come back here to fill his stomach.
So Vivian and others simply postponed their dinner. They estimated the time and felt that the dinner at the City Lord's Mansion should be almost over before they actually started preparing for dinner.
Although this Falling Star Manor was given to Xu Yi by President Cruise as a gift for his engagement with Steele, and Xu Yi also regarded it as his new residence after they got married, but in fact Xu Yi For more than a month, Steele and I spent most of our nights in Falling Rain Valley and never came back to live here.
Since Vivian was still studying at the Baron Rector Magic Academy, it was not convenient for her to travel 60 kilometers back and forth to the Falling Rain Valley with Xu Yi every day, so Xu Yi left her here to live and left Liz and Lin with her. The two female slaves brought back from the Principality of Standing also stayed with her.
The three of them have been living in Luoxing Manor for more than a month. They have already become accustomed to everything here, and they live in a very comfortable and comfortable place.
"Hey. Yanis. Can you go outside and see if the master is coming back soon?" Vivian saw that all the dishes were almost finished. Then he shouted to Yanis who was leaning at the door and was forced by Vivian not to interfere in the cooking.
Yanis turned her head and glanced at the darkness outside the door, then looked back at the kitchen where she really couldn't help. She hesitated for a moment, responded, and was about to turn around and go out, when a pair of long pointed ears suddenly appeared. He stirred for a moment, and a hint of joy appeared on his face: "The president is back." Then he became confused again. "Strange. It seems like he's not the only one."
"Really? The master has brought guests back?" Vivian glanced at the obviously over-excessive dishes in the kitchen, but she was not panicked and asked: "Can you tell how many people are there?"
The expression on Yanis's face became even more confused: "I just brought a guest here. Judging from the footsteps, it sounds like she is a girl."
"Girl?" Vivian felt a little strange now. "Sister Steele obviously accompanied Stasha and the others to Anvilmar City. What kind of girl will Master bring back?"
"I don't know." Yanis shook her head, thought for a moment, and guessed: "Maybe it's the president's new lover? I heard that this kind of thing seems to be normal for relatively high-status humans."
"Maybe..." Vivian looked hesitant. "But I think the master is not such a person..."
After thinking for a moment, Vivian shook her head vigorously: "Don't worry about it, even if you are the owner's lover, she is also a guest. Liz, Linda. You stay and take charge of the last few dishes, Yanis, we Go out and greet the master."
Vivian and Yanis had just walked out of the gate of the manor when they saw two figures walking out of the darkness and falling into the light of two magic lamps hanging high outside the gate of the manor.
Vivian's eyes passed over Xu Yi and landed on Princess Carolyn beside him. Her eyes widened in surprise and she exclaimed softly: "Wow, this girl is as beautiful as Sister Steele. Is she really the master’s lover?”
Yanis took a look at Princess Kalinda, but looked confused: "Really? Why do I think she is far less pure than Miss Steele? From the perspective of our elves' aesthetics, this girl is not beautiful at all. Ah. The president’s vision is not so bad, right?”
Vivian looked at Anis in surprise, wondering why she would make such comments about the girl next to Xu Yi who was as breathtakingly beautiful as Steele. She then thought that this should be the aesthetics of the elves. Since he was different from humans, he didn't argue and hurriedly greeted him.
"Master, you are back." Vivian smiled sweetly at Xu Yi.
"Yeah." Xu Yi nodded, looked at Yanis who was following behind, and asked a little strangely: "Yanis, why are you here today? Weren't you still in the Black Rice Wasteland a few days ago? "
"The things in the Black Rice Wasteland are over for the time being, so I came back to report." Yanis replied with a smile, and then nodded to Princess Caroline: "President, who is this human lady?"
Seeing that Vivian also showed curiosity, Xu Yi introduced the two of them: "This is Princess Carolyn from the Duke of Drake. She is here to represent the Principality of Drake and our new flight." The Chamber of Commerce is discussing some cooperation matters.”
Yanis nodded without any special reaction. After Vivian heard that this girl was actually a princess, she couldn't help but bend her legs and wanted to salute.
Xu Yi grabbed her, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Vivian, have you forgotten that I told you many times?"
Vivian was startled, then her face turned red, she lowered her head and whispered softly: "I'm sorry, Master, I forgot about it for a moment."
Xu Yi shook his head and said to Princess Carolyn who was a little confused at the side: "Your Highness, this elf girl is called Yanis. She is the appearance designer of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Design Institute. This human girl Her name is Vivian, and she is also the appearance designer of our chamber of commerce. The appearance design of most of the household magic machines produced by our chamber of commerce is completed by the two of them. "
Princess Carolyn looked at Agnes and Vivian in surprise: "Oh my God, I have always wondered who designed those beautiful magical machines, but I didn't expect that they were actually designed by a beautiful elf. Miss and an equally beautiful and lovely human girl, it really surprised me!”
Yanis had no special reaction, but Vivian blushed and said nothing.
"Your Highness the Princess. You don't seem to be very surprised to see the elves? Are elves very common in the Duke of Drake?" Xu Yi asked.
"No. There have been no elves in our principality for hundreds of years." Princess Carolyn shook her head. "But I started to pay attention to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and you, President Xu, after I saw those novel magical machines. I know that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has a close relationship with the elves, and even employs many elves in the chamber of commerce. , so it’s not surprising. Of course, this is the first time I’ve seen real elves since I was a child, and I’m actually very surprised.”
"Really?" Xu Yi laughed, not paying much attention, and signaled Princess Caroline to enter the manor.
By this time Liz and Linda had already prepared dinner. After seeing the sumptuous dinner on the table, without Xu Yi's invitation, Princess Carolyn took the initiative to say that she actually didn't eat anything at the dinner at the City Lord's Mansion and hoped to taste these sumptuous dishes.
Of course Xu Yi couldn't refuse, so he sat down with Princess Caroline.
Because there was an outsider like Princess Caroline, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little dull at first.
However, Princess Caroline's communication skills were obviously extremely good, and she easily rekindled the atmosphere at the dinner table by asking Vivian how she designed the appearance of those magical machines.
After a late dinner was finished in a cheerful atmosphere, Xu Yi led Princess Carolyn to choose a guest room, and then asked Liz to lead her to bathe and change.
While Princess Caroline is leaving. Vivian asked Xu Yi curiously: "Master? Isn't this princess your lover?"
Xu Yi almost spit out the sip of water he was drinking. He looked at Vivian in shock and asked, "What lover? What are you talking about?"
Vivian looked puzzled: "If she wasn't your lover, why would she follow you back to your residence alone? Isn't this too strange?"
"Don't talk about you, I'm still surprised myself." Xu Yi waved his hand angrily.
After the previous conversation, Princess Carolyn said to Xu Yi "See you later" before leaving. He still didn't understand what he meant, but when he finished the conversation with Earl Stark and was about to return to Falling Star Manor to rest, Ka However, Princess Lorraine appeared again accompanied by Earl Stark, and then, much to Xu Yi's surprise, she expressed her wish to stay one night at Xu Yi's manor.
The reason she gave at that time was that she hoped to have a detailed discussion with Xu Yi tonight about the cooperation between the two parties. Xu Yi agreed without thinking too much.
But when Xu Yi discovered that she followed him into the carriage alone, and Anduin didn't come at all, no matter how insensitive Xu Yi was about matters between men and women, he knew that there was definitely a problem with this.
But today was obviously the first time he met Princess Carolyn. Why would she do this
Xu Yi thought that he was not so charming that he could make a princess who met him for the first time fall in love with him to the point of committing himself to her.
"Then what should we do tonight?" Vivian was in a daze. "If she is not your lover, I think Sister Steele will be unhappy to know that you brought her back home."
Xu Yi was also stunned and asked: "You mean if she were my lover, Steele wouldn't be unhappy?"
"Yes, with your status as master, it's strange that you don't have a lover." Vivian said matter-of-factly: "Sister Steele told me last time that if you want to find a lover, you must find someone who is beautiful enough. Otherwise she will feel embarrassed. Princess Caroline is very beautiful, and I think Sister Steele will be very satisfied."
"What a mess." Xu Yi shook his hand vigorously. "Steele is just kidding you. If I really find a lover, do you believe that Steele will hack me to death in minutes?"
"Sister Steele won't be so fierce, right?" Vivian patted her small breasts that had gradually grown, and said with some fear: "I also plan to wait until Sister Steele comes back and tell her what happened tonight. She’s happy, it turns out that’s not the case.”
Xu Yi couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"Okay, just treat her like an ordinary guest. Anyway, I'm going to Falling Rain Valley after tonight, and she won't be able to stay here for a few days. Just try to have as little contact with her as possible from now on, so as not to cause trouble. Tier was angry." Xu Yi thought for a moment, stood up and ordered: "I'm going to the study, don't let anyone disturb me. By the way, Yanis, come with me, I have something to explain to you. "
Yanis responded and followed Xu Yi towards the study.
Vivian behind her looked at Xu Yi's back, then looked at the direction where Princess Caroline was bathing, with a look of confusion on her face.
