"Oh... fiance? So Hera, did you send your sister here to get married?"
Rafiniya yelled first, as if there were little stars popping out of her eyes: "The heroic adventurers protect the beautiful princess and come to the capital to meet the prince. There is nothing more romantic than this..."
Leylin also said some congratulatory words to Old Bam, which made Alani's face flush a little bit, but he was a little surprised in his heart. He originally thought that this trip was dominated by Hera, but he didn't expect that the protagonist in the end was actually Alani, a little girl who is not yet an adult.
"Also, the elder sister gave the marriage? It seems that there is no such custom in the kingdom. Did something happen to the elders?"
Leylin smelled something bad.
"What are you doing? Don't you know that this is the mansion of Lord Viscount?"
Seeing such a group of mercenaries yelling in front, the two guards standing at the gate of the mansion couldn't bear it at first.
A guard came out. He was wearing brand new and bright armor, which was scrupulously wiped without any dust on it. He looked down at Leylin and the others with disdain in his eyes.
This kind of mercenary has a slightly better reputation in the royal capital than robbers and gangsters. It has never been synonymous with law-abiding, and those nobles hate to have anything to do with each other-it's too embarrassing!
As for the fiance and so on? The guard looked at the plainly dressed Hera sisters, and obviously chose not to believe it.
Alani pulled her sister's skirt, and looked at her own clothes—her family was not very well-to-do, and a big change happened. up.
She and her sister now look like country girls who have come to the city for the first time.
The little girl lowered her head, almost wanting to bury her head in the ground.
"This little brother..."
Hera's face was also a little flushed, but at this moment she could only cheer up and negotiate: "I'm from the city of Ammon..."
At the same time, she also took out a small cloth bag from her body, and after opening it layer by layer, there was a well-preserved noble medal.
Perhaps it was the function of the badge. After the guard glanced at Hera again, he went in suspiciously with the badge to report.
Leylin and the others waited in the wind for more than half an hour. When Rafiniya got a little impatient, the door of the Viscount's mansion slowly opened, and a man with the appearance of a butler came out with a professional look on his face. smile.
"May I ask who is the lady from the Lanta family?"
"I am Hera Ranta! This is my sister - Alani!"
Hera took a deep breath and walked forward, even with a flattering smile on her face.
This is the helplessness of reality. She and her sister are helpless in the royal capital. If they want to get a good life, they can only rely on the viscount fiancé of Alani. Make a bad impression.
"Two distinguished ladies, please follow me, the Viscount is waiting for you!"
The butler stood by the side of the road and bowed in salute.
"Also...they are mercenaries I hired, this time I was able to come to the capital safely, thanks to them on the way..."
Hera looked at Leylin and the others, and made some excuses.
"Mercenary?!" The steward's eyes were obviously a bit more disdainful, and only Rafiniya who was riding a horse made him glance a little longer: "But the viscount only mentioned the two ladies..."
"Hera, you go in first! We'll just wait..."
This obvious contempt made Rafiniya blush, but she was instantly held back by Leylin.
Leylin smiled and said to Hera, and at the same time looked at the contemptuous expression in the housekeeper's eyes, and secretly laughed in his heart: "This kind of expression... Could it be that sisters Hera are regarded as poor relatives who have no money to visit? Interesting! Interesting!! "
Under the mentality of watching a drama, Leylin forgave the other party's sins generously, and even held Rafiniya back. Looking at the other party's angry expression but nowhere to vent, his stomach almost cramped with laughter. up.
Hera cast a grateful look, then took her sister's hand and entered the gate.
"Ray! Look at them! This look!"
Rafiniya frowned completely, like an angry kitten.
"Ah... I can't take it anymore, at worst, I don't want the commission this time..."
"You don't want to return, but you can't implicate us..." Leylin slapped coldly at the side, and greeted Old Bam with a sympathetic nod, with watery eyes: "Miss! You can't let poor old Bam Bam doesn't even get paid for that..."
"You don't have a salary yet? Just those ogre ears on the road make you rich..."
Rafiniya muttered, but didn't burst out again.
In fact, the Hera sisters didn't have any assets, and they announced a commission increase on the way, but they were dumbfounded after halfway through the journey—they didn't have enough money to pay the previously promised fees!
Even, they still haven't paid half of the commission for the carriage and coachman in the Dark Forest Castle before!
Although Rafiniya didn't care about that little money, she couldn't help but care about other people. Hearing this, she could only walk aside angrily: "Anyway, I don't want this money. You can divide it up..."
"Oh! Rafiniya, you are the sweetest girl in the world!!!" Bam the dwarf immediately cheered, and even the driver next to him showed a smile on his face.
After getting along with this strange team of mercenaries, he also had some understanding.
Rafiniya is the owner of the money, and so does the mysterious Ray, and the only ones left with money are him and the dwarf Bam.
For the lower class people, they never mind that they can get an extra share, even if it is only a few coppers!
bang!
The door opened again, Alani came out holding the arm of a young nobleman, Hera and the steward stood behind.
"Is this the mercenary you hired this time? There are still dwarves? I think it is more suitable for going to the circus... Oh! By the way, have you ever seen the performance of the golden dwarf circus..."
This noble young man had a pale complexion and dark bags under his eyes. He looked as if his body had been hollowed out by alcohol, and his spirit was very sluggish. He completely ignored Leylin and his party, and started chatting with Hera behind him instead.
"Daniel, Raffinia and Ray are all powerful professionals..."
With a warm smile on Hera's face, she began to draw the nobleman's attention to Leylin and the others: "If you can recruit them, I believe it will be very helpful to you..."
Although he began to notice the other party's malicious gaze, Hera still tried to accentuate her curves, although this aroused Alani's dissatisfied gaze.
In her heart, she was indeed trying her best to 'help' Leylin and the others.
Rafiniya aside, for professionals among commoners, their only way out is to serve a nobleman.
In this way, after a few decades, those who have made great achievements may be able to receive the gift of the master, and obtain the title of an honorary knight or even a lord.
With this, they can seek a piece of territory, become hereditary nobles, and step into the ranks of the upper class.
In fact, Leylin's grandfather also started his family in the same way, but the object of allegiance was changed to the king.
"Hmm! You're right!"
Viscount Daniel looked at the fullness of Hera's chest, and couldn't help swallowing. Compared with the fiancée who was still a little girl, the sister of the other party was obviously more like a mature woman—of course, it would be more perfect if the two could be together.
"You are very lucky, I, Viscount Daniel, am willing to accept you as followers, kneel down and swear!"
Under the begging of the beauty, Daniel finally managed to look Leylin and the others straight.
"And you! You can be my honorary knight, close..."
When he saw Rafiniya, Daniel's eyes were clearly brightened, especially when he stayed on the opponent's slender thigh for a while.
On the contrary, his butler tried hard on the back of his lips, but he still didn't come out.
He is very clear about his young master's temper, and knows that the other party will not listen to any advice at all, but how can he promise so easily to collect followers, especially when there is a dwarf and a groom among the targets.
But fortunately, the young master will regret it in a few days at most, and at that time give them a guard position, or a servant, and the other party should be satisfied.
Even servants, the people in the Viscount's Mansion are superior to ordinary civilians! In the housekeeper's thinking, this is the theorem.
"Why? Don't you hurry up and thank Lord Viscount for your kindness?"
Hera winked at Leylin and the others, she thought she had found the best way out for these mercenaries.
After all, what's so bad about being a vassal of a nobleman compared to the near death of a mercenary
It has to be said that although the other party is shrewd, his head is still a little fixed. In other words, the thinking of the aristocracy has always been like this.
"Great master, I, Pollan, swear..."
To her surprise, neither Rafiniya, Leylin, nor even the dwarf Bam made any changes, only the groom rushed towards him with bright eyes.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Excellency the Viscount, but I have no intention of serving the nobles. We are here this time only to settle the commission..."
Leylin touched his nose, but stood up anyway.
"You guys..." Hera blushed with anger. For the first time, she felt that Leylin was so hateful that she dared to refuse her kindness!
Doesn't he know that there is a world of difference between nobles and commoners
This kind of ill-intentioned move made even Alani next to him frown.
Now that she has consciously regarded herself as the mistress of the Viscount's Mansion, Leylin's actions immediately made her feel that her dignity had been damaged.
