Bonnie forked a piece of steak and put it in her mouth:

"Oh, I really want to know what method Xien used to make my father completely give up Xi Lun. If I had known it earlier, Xi Lun wouldn't have been pestering me for so many years..."

Noticing that Bonnie was distracted, Sheen turned around:

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"what!"

Bonnie was so scared that she dropped the knife that was placed beside her.

Bang!

The sound seemed to hit Bonnie on the head:

Finished!

"Father will definitely say that I am behaving in aristocratic manners incorrectly..."

"Bonnie?"

The Duke's deep voice rang over Bonnie's head.

"I'm...I'm sorry, I must..." Bonnie was about to admit her mistake.

"Are you OK?"

The Duke leaned slightly toward Bonnie to see what was going on.

"Huh?" Bonnie was stunned.

Normally, shouldn't my father blame me for setting a bad example for Xi Lun after I dropped the knife?

"Are you okay?" Sean put down his cutlery and asked Bonnie.

"Luckily I kept my feet tucked in so I didn't get hit."

The Duke saw the fallen knife, then he straightened up, turned around to explain to Sheen, and then instructed the servant,

"Go get a new knife."

The servant answered and left.

Bonnie is totally messy:

What is going on? ?

After the butler brought Bonnie a new knife, the three continued to eat.

The Duke glanced at Bonnie, who was cutting steaks with her head down, and felt something strange:

"Did we disturb Bonnie while talking about work?"

"(Why not let Bonnie take it slow?)" Sean chewed the chicken leg without saying anything.

Silence is Cambridge tonight...

There are not many people here anyway, so let’s just stop chatting.

For a while, the only sound in the restaurant was the sound of chewing food, which was not normal in the Haines family, where there was no restriction on chatting.

He didn't know how he managed to get through those few minutes; Sean could only focus on the delicious food.

After finishing the main course, the maid served us strawberry soufflé.

We were able to chat while eating.

Bonnie suddenly thought of this question:

"Uh, it seems like Sheen will be leaving in a few days, right?"

Sheen took a bite of the soufflé and looked up:

"Yes, I will return to the castle tonight."

......

"Don't look at me like that. I've lived here for more than two weeks. If I don't go back and pack my things, I'll be late for school." Sean also half-opened his eyes and looked at Bonnie who was staring at him.

The Duke held a glass of wine in his hand and said calmly:

"Time flies so fast."

Sheen did not leave the Duke idle:

“Have I arranged all my equipment for the trip?”

"Well, according to your request, I asked the servants to prepare it secretly. I guess you didn't notice it?"

The Duke gently shook the glass in his hand and stated,

"I have already coordinated with the people at the Magic Tower. Romos said that they will send a special magic carriage to go through the Magic Tower's dedicated tunnel so that it will not be discovered by others.

"Oh, remember, you must take Romos's autograph with you before getting on the bus."

"Yeah." Sheen nodded.

The Duke added: "Of course, if you leave in the morning you can arrive in the afternoon."

"So fast?" Bonnie's eyes widened.

One more thing to add: If you take the normal road, it will take at least seven days to reach the Demon Tower from the Duke's Palace.

"That's a privilege for students of the Magic Tower."

The Duke placed his left hand on the armrest and could not help but change the subject a little.

“If this thing is used in the empire’s transportation, Romos will definitely become a great man in the development of the empire.

"But he doesn't like too much honor," the Duke added.

Although the Duke in the original work is a villain (for Sheen), he does have some advantages——

For example, special vision:

"It's a pity that people were not optimistic about the construction on the eve of the project. It was only after I made an additional investment that I was able to use the road."

After saying this, the Duke looked up to the sky and laughed:

"Nobles who need to go to the north for trade have to take this route for convenience. This has also become an additional source of income for Haines~"

"That's right, it really saves time..." Bonnie laughed awkwardly.

Sheen complained inwardly:

"I would like to call Romos the "Infrastructure Maniac"..."

The three of them were silent for a moment, and Bonnie broke the silence.

"Is it really okay to hide this from the Lord and the others?"

Bonnie put down the soufflé and asked,

"And then let Xien leave quietly? Wouldn't that mean Xiren would succeed in vain?"

Sheen looked at Bonnie and laughed a few times:

"I have already thought about this. There will be a good show when I return to Norata Castle..."

"But..."

The Duke's face suddenly darkened.

"Oh no, I'm already on my way to the Imperial City on the day we agreed to leave...How about you get up earlier that day and go to Norata Castle to see Sheen off, Bonnie?"

This means that the Duke cannot see Sheen off...

Huh? The Duke still wants to send me off?

When Sheen heard this, he almost jumped out of his chair.

"Yeah, okay." Bonnie nodded.

The Duke suddenly thought of something and said to Bonnie in a teasing tone:

"When you are in a carriage, remember to check carefully to see if anyone has tampered with it."

"I know." Bonnie smiled bitterly.

(This has become Bonnie's dark history)

"What a shame (this is really great news!)." Sheen lowered his head and said lightly, pretending to be sad.

...

Early the next morning, Sheen sat at the coffee table in Norata Castle.

Last night, William and his grandchildren (Louis and Jimmy) had already helped him pack most of his things.

They are all stored in the underground carriage house.

Everyone kept the lord in the dark about Sheen's schedule, and when someone asked, they just said "school will start as normal".

They were all waiting for Alex to take the bait.

"The two dates are five months apart. The Lord will not miss such an opportunity..."

Sheen sat at the table, holding in his hand the letter that Romos had just written using magic.

This was fake evidence that he asked Romos to create using transmission magic.

The amazing thing was that the Demon Tower Master actually agreed, and things went so easily that even Sheen was surprised.

Louis came over and poured tea for Sheen with a smile.

"Louis."

"Yes, Master Sheen."

"Is everything packed?"

"There are still three days left. When we pack up our clothes on the last night, they won't notice."

"Well done, you and Jimmy, you've worked hard,"

Sean folded the envelope and placed it on the table, then turned to look at Louis.

"It won't be long before I go to the Magic Tower."

"When I'm away, you can go to Bonnie and she will take good care of you."

"...Yes, I understand." Louis straightened up and nodded.

Xien picked up the teacup and took a sip:

Sheen couldn't count on the Duke for anything - because if he gave the Duke enough benefits, he would be shaken.

We can only count on Bonnie to protect this pair of grandparents and grandchildren.

"Hmm..."

I don't know how this sibling relationship will develop...

When Xien was away, he was worried that the powerful Xi Lun would cause trouble for the grandparents and grandchildren.

But no matter what, Bonnie is completely disappointed with Xiren and probably won't trust him anymore.

"I hope this grandparents and grandchildren...especially Jimmy, can hold on until the day I return."
