MTL - Tome of Blood-Chapter 11 -11-Invitation from the Duke's House

  Chapter 11-11-Invitation from the Duke's House

  Charlotte feels really busy.

   It's like the boss who hasn't been to the company for a long time, one by one, everyone is queuing up to see her.

   However, it seems popular, but none of them really only care about her, all of them are for other purposes.

but…

  Bold family?

  The Duke's house?

  Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

  The Boulder family is the lord family of the Boulder Duchy, and it is also the object of the Castel family's allegiance.

  By the way, the two parties are still related.

  First of all, the ancestors of the Castel family were separated from the Bold family, which can be regarded as a side branch of Bold.

  Secondly, Lady Catherine, the second wife of the former Duke of Bold, is Charlotte's aunt.

   If seniority is considered, Charlotte is still of the same generation as the current Duke.

  Hmm...although the difference in age between the two is actually dozens of years.

  In the vague memories Charlotte inherited, most of the few previous experiences of leaving Castel Manor were to visit the aunt in the Duke's mansion.

   Only, Lady Catherine has been dead for many years.

  The predecessor has not left the manor for ten years.

  Charlotte thought of the nobles who were kicked out by the female knight before.

   If I remember correctly, they seem to claim to represent the Duke's Mansion...

  Could it be...they?

  Charlotte was thoughtful.

   Secretly thinking that she is really popular, she nodded slightly, and said obediently:

   "Bring them in!"

  The door of the room was pushed open again, and several gorgeously dressed nobles entered the ward.

   Not beyond Charlotte's expectations, it was the group of people who were kicked out by Captain Kara before.

   "Miss Charlotte, we meet again. We haven't seen each other for many years. You are getting more and more beautiful."

  The fat nobles headed by them smiled kindly and performed a standard noble etiquette.

  Then, his expression became serious again, just like a Sichuan opera changing face, becoming sad and heavy:

   "The Duke's Mansion already knows what happened last night. His Excellency the Duke is deeply saddened and even more angry about what happened to the Castel family."

   "This morning, His Excellency the Duke has urged the Demon Hunting House to thoroughly investigate the matter, and vowed to dig out all the blood-born ghosts in Boulder and catch them all!"

   "Please rest assured, no matter what happens, the Polder family will always be the strongest backing of the Castel family!"

  The fat nobleman was filled with righteous indignation, with a sincere expression.

  Charlotte shrank slightly under the quilt, showing a dazed and timid expression.

  She tilted her little head, and her big eyes seemed to be filled with question marks:

"excuse me, you are…?"

  The fat noble's breath stagnates.

   But the young noble swordsman behind him couldn't help but chuckle:

   "Pfft, Bruno, as I said earlier, ten years have passed, how could the young lady of the Castel family still remember you."

   After speaking, the swordsman passed the fat nobleman and came to Charlotte.

  He was about to speak, but suddenly thought of something, and imitated the action of the fat nobleman and performed a noble etiquette.

  Charlotte still looks like a vigilant little animal, pretending to be an ignorant and timid little girl.

  However, she was quite calm in her heart, and analyzed the other party's identity based on the other party's performance.

   Let's not talk about the fat nobles headed by it.

  His deacon attire is too conspicuous. He is obviously a butler and deacon of the Duke's mansion, and he may have a viscount or baron title on him.

   What makes Charlotte curious is the swordsman.

  Based on the memory inherited by Charlotte, the swordsman's movements are not standard, but it can be seen that the opponent has tried his best.

   This should be a person who has just become a nobleman, or a powerful transcendent.

   Chatting with Dean Raoul, let Charlotte know more about the nobles in this world.

  In the world of Myria, nobles almost monopolize extraordinary power. It is normal for wild extraordinary people to be recruited by nobles, and some people can even directly become upstarts with titles.

  However, looking at the obviously high-end and gorgeous clothing on the other party, especially the lion logo of the Bold family painted on the right chest that only direct members can wear, Charlotte further revised her judgment:

   This is an upstart who has been recognized by the Polder family and has obtained the status of a direct member.

   "Nice to meet you, Miss Charlotte, I'm Lionel Poulder."

   The noble swordsman said.

   "Cough cough cough...cough cough cough..."

  The fat noble beside him coughed desperately to wink.

  The swordsman froze for a moment, then reacted instantly, scratched his head, and said in embarrassment:

   "Eh...Leno de Porte..."

   "De" is a common epithet in the names of nobles in the New Moon Kingdom. Usually, the surnames that follow it are also territories, meaning "belonging to" or "from", which is a sign of nobility.

  For example, Charlotte herself, Charlotte de Castel, in a popular sense means "Charlotte from Castelland".

  In the New Moon Kingdom, the best way to judge the status of a nobleman is to see whether there is "virtue" between the first name and the last name when the other party announces their name.

   Obviously, this newcomer to the Bold family hasn't gotten used to his aristocratic status yet.

  Re-applying this time, he was so nervous that he even mispronounced the last name of "Polder".

   The fat noble is going crazy.

  As if wearing a mask of pain, he covered his face instantly, and reminded in a low voice in despair:

   "It's Polder..."

  Swordsman: …

  The young nobleman's expression froze, and then his face turned red.

  His expression changed a bit, and then he cursed like a broken jar:

   "Damn! Nobles are trouble, **** Boulder!"

  The fat nobleman's eyes widened, and he held his head in an instant, almost fainting.

   However, the young swordsman doesn't care anymore:

   "Okay, Bruno, stop staring at me with your small eyes, no matter how big your stares are, they are still small!"

   "Don't lecture me anymore, the old man is here today, and I don't care."

   "I've said it many times, if you're not used to it, you're not used to it. There are too many rules in the house, so it's better to be a mercenary!"

   After finishing speaking, he looked at Charlotte again, and said quickly:

   "Miss Charlotte, let me introduce myself again, I'm Leno."

   "As you can see, I used to be a free mercenary. I just returned to the Bold family not long ago. I am not familiar with anything. Please bear with me if I offend you."

   "I am here this time, in addition to wanting to visit, I also send an invitation letter for the old man."

   Abandoning the aristocratic reserve, the young swordsman completely let go of himself, and finally relaxed.

  He took out an invitation letter wrapped in golden silk from his arms, and subconsciously threw it to Charlotte.

   But after noticing her wrapped hands and feet, the swordsman quickly stopped his movements, and gently placed the invitation letter in front of her:

   "The old man's 60th birthday will be half a month later. A birthday dinner will be held in the Duke's Mansion. All the lower-level nobles will be invited, and other lords from some kingdoms will also be present."

   "Damn it! Honestly, I think I'm insane for sending birthday invitations! After all, that happened yesterday, it's not a good time..."

   "But the old man asked me to send it. He said that this matter is very important to the future of the Castel family, especially after the accident at the Castel Manor."

   "Miss Charlotte, I know that you are very sad, painful, and scared now... However, people always have to look forward."

  "There is a saying among mercenaries: life is the most **** adventure, and only the most determined **** can return home with beauties and treasures in their arms while shouting "Son of a bitch."

   "You are not only yourself, but also represent the Castel family, please be strong."

   "Okay, I...cough, I've finished speaking, and the invitation letter has been delivered, so I won't bother you any more."

   "I wish you a speedy recovery! Goodbye!"

  The young swordsman named Leno finished speaking quickly, without even breathing, then turned and left.

  Charlotte, Lottie and the fat nobleman were all stunned.

  However, just before leaving, Leno stopped again, turned his head and looked at Charlotte carefully, pondered for a moment and said:

   "Miss Charlotte..."

   "You are very beautiful and cute, just like the legend, more beautiful and moving than any girl of any race I have ever seen, presumably in the future, you will be the best in the world."

   "It's an honor to see the beauties of the Castel family. In the past, I would have been bragging with my companions for several years!"

   "However, because of this, please be more vigilant..."

   “Born with beauty and wealth is a blessing from the gods, but it is also a curse.”

   "Especially when there is not enough strength to match it..."

   “They bring not only good, but also disaster.”

   "Some things, when it's time to give up, you must give up in time!"

   After finishing speaking, Leno no longer explained too much, but opened the door and left gracefully.

  The fat nobleman froze for a moment, saluted Charlotte apologetically, then turned around and trotted after him:

   "Ouch! Lord Leno, wait for me! Wait for me!"

  The two came and went quickly.

   In a blink of an eye, only Charlotte and Lottie were left.

  Looking at Charlotte who was lost in thought, Lottie was full of apologies:

   "Sorry...Miss Charlotte, I didn't expect him to be so rude...I shouldn't have let him in, did you freak out?"

   Saying that, the beautiful Priestess shook her head again, frowned and said:

   "An illegitimate child is an illegitimate child, without any aristocratic cultivation, it really embarrasses Duke Boulder!"

  The illegitimate son of the Duke's family...

  Charlotte looked thoughtfully at the Duke's invitation letter in front of her.

   For newcomers and new books, ask for a monthly pass and ask for follow-up reading! At the seedling stage, if you can chase it, try not to raise it.

   In addition, this book is single! There may also be some emotional drama later, but it is not the protagonist. The protagonist will at most become a fan-headed fun person who kowtows at CP... the kind that is not too big a deal to watch the excitement
