"Excuse me, is Mr. Kevin here?" Today, Kevin was working seriously in the library as usual, when he was looking for materials, he suddenly heard an inquiry from the door.

"Yes, I'm here. What's the matter?" Because the voice behind the many bookshelves made Kevin feel a little familiar but not sure, so he quickly took the books he had found and walked towards the door quickly.

But before Kevin had time to see who it was, a black and white haired little dumpling swooped on Kevin's lap, "Chirp!"

"Duanzi?" Kevin was very surprised to see this little furball hugging his leg and kept acting coquettishly. He raised his head and looked at the strong orc blocking the door like a hill, "Mr. Abu?"

"Hello, Mr. Kevin." Seeing Kevin's surprised expression, Abu grinned, "Didn't bother you?"

"No," Kevin shook his head, bent down and hugged Nat into his arms, and asked Abu strangely, "Why did you suddenly bring Nat here today?"

Abu gestured to the small bag in his hand and replied, "You have been leaving early and returning late recently. Nat hasn't seen you for a few days and misses you very much, so he quarreled with me when I was free today." I brought him to see you, this is the snack he bought for you."

"Wow, Tuanzi actually gave me something to eat." Hearing what Abu said, Kevin laughed, nuzzled Nat's wet little nose, and joked.

"Tweet..." Nat was very dissatisfied that Kevin hadn't come to see him for so long, and stretched out two short arms to hug Kevin's neck with great effort, and kept condemning him.

"Oh, ok, ok, it's my fault, I haven't played with you for a long time, I'm really sorry," Kevin and Nat can more or less understand Nat's meaning after getting along, smiling Apologizing to him, "Forgive me, cute, smart, handsome and handsome Mr. Tuanzi."

"Chirp..." After understanding what Kevin said, Tuanzi paused for a moment, then buried his face in Kevin's neck shyly and proudly and rubbed it twice.

"Hey, you guy, you know how to listen to good things!" Nat's actions completely amused Kevin, and he laughed for a long time before he stopped.

"Look at me, I forgot to invite you in." When his eyes touched Abu who was standing at the door laughing with him, Kevin realized that he hadn't let Abu in. He hurriedly welcomed Abu apologetically, busy Pour him tea and water.

"No, no, no need," Abu stopped Kevin and waved his hands again and again, "Don't bother me, I came here on purpose when I saw you were about to finish work, and I was going to bring Nat to see you, so I just sent you back manor."

Under Abu's insistence, Kevin gave up the idea of ​​pouring tea for the other party, looked at the sky outside the window and nodded, "Well, I'm going to finish work soon, why don't you sit with Nat for a while, I can tidy up and go."

"Hey, okay." Abu nodded honestly, took Nat from Kevin's hand and responded.

"Well, Mr. Kevin, is there a lot of work in the library recently?" Abu asked Kevin who was hugging Nat and whispering as he walked, carrying the snacks that Nat insisted on buying for Kevin.

"It's okay, it's almost the same as before." Kevin, who was busy chatting with Nat, answered Abu's question casually.

"Oh..." Abu nodded, and then continued to ask cautiously, "Then why do you always come back to the manor so late recently?" Just after finishing speaking, Abu paid attention to Kevin's face and added, "I It’s because I think it’s not safe for you to be outside alone at night.”

"Ludan City is still the main city after all, so what's unsafe." Kevin replied indifferently.

"It's the main city that's not safe. There are all kinds of things." Abu muttered in a low voice with some dissatisfaction seeing Kevin's indifference.

Hearing Abu's complaint, Kevin smiled, hugged Nat with another arm, and asked Abu, "It's just right, I also have something I want to ask you."

"You ask, as long as I know, I will tell you." Abu nodded immediately.

"Do you know where there are vacant houses for rent?" Kevin asked when Abu nodded, "I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find it."

"For rent? Do you want to rent a house? You are not at the owner's place..." Abu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that what Kevin was going to ask, he blurted out the question, but he reacted instantly, "You want to move out of the manor? Why?"

"I've lived with Mr. Arthur for long enough, so I should move out." Kevin explained softly, but there was a trace of Abu's incomprehensible loss in his eyes.

"But the master didn't drive you away." Abu felt that he still didn't understand.

"I am not related to Mr. Arthur. He saved me and gave me a job. I am very grateful. I don't think I should continue to live there. After all, I can support myself now." Isn't it, how can I continue to cause trouble for Mr. Arthur." Kevin continued to explain patiently.

Abu saw that Kevin was obviously not in the same mood as before, and didn't speak. Although the reason was very tenable, Abu instinctively felt that this was not the real reason. As for the real reason, Abu didn't know.

Seeing that Abu didn't speak, Kevin didn't continue talking, but walked forward silently holding Nat.

When he was about to reach Arthur's manor, Abu finally stopped and said, "I don't know why you want to move, but this is your decision, and I support you, and I will inquire about it for you. But I still suggest you wait until a while before moving out." Seeing Kevin opened his mouth to say something, Abu waved his hand to signal Kevin to listen to himself, "I can see that there is a conflict between you and the master, you are not happy , the master is not happy recently. But I also know that the master really cares about you, and it will be the master's birthday in a while, so don't make him unhappy, at least wait until his birthday is over before leaving."

"Birthday?" Kevin was stunned.

"Yes," Abu nodded, with a serious expression on his face, "Ten days later, according to the usual birthday party, the manor will hold a birthday party. You should wait until you have been busy for a while before you deal with the moving. Maybe, I think, you can talk to Let's talk calmly, Master."

Kevin thought for a long time, nodded, and handed Nat, who had already started to doze off, to Abu, "I see, please keep an eye on me about the house." He said and gestured to the manor that was not far away from him. The gate, "Then I'll go in first, thank you for bringing Nat to see me today."

"You're welcome," Abu resumed his simple and honest look, "I hope Nat didn't affect your work today, you've been tired all day, go back and rest."

Kevin nodded, took the snack that Abu handed over, smiled at him, and walked towards the manor.

Abramovich watched Kevin approach the gate and then turned and left with Nat in his arms.

And Arthur, who was standing on the second floor of the manor, looked at Kevin and Abu saying goodbye to each other with complicated and difficult expressions.

Even though he had been informed of Arthur's birthday in advance, Kevin had no special reaction, and continued his life of leaving early and returning late until the day before Arthur's birthday.

Different from Kevin's indifference, the people in the manor have already started to get busy for the master's birthday, trying to hold a perfect birthday party for the master, especially on the day of the birthday party, everyone's nerves have been stretched to the tightest.

Around [-] o'clock in the morning, the guests who were being entertained began to arrive at the manor one after another, which made the usually quiet manor lively.

And Kevin also tidied up at Ogden's request and was taken to the hall.

Today's Arthur is the absolute protagonist. When Kevin walked into the hall, he saw Arthur surrounded by nobles who looked like a star holding the moon. Looking at his easy-talking and laughing appearance, he couldn't help but sigh, people It's really very different from people. If I was surrounded by such a large group of people talking, my head would definitely explode.

When passing by, Kevin met Arthur's glance. After smiling politely, Kevin calmly went to get a glass of wine, then hid in a small corner with few people and drank slowly.

Arthur only glanced at Kevin, and then immediately turned his energy back to the guests around him, continuing to chat and laugh happily.

Arthur just stood there, maintaining a perfect smile, and the guests around him changed from group to group, and he was not impatient.

Iron-clad camps and flowing soldiers, Kevin suddenly thought of such a sentence, and then felt amused by his nonsensical thoughts, so he quickly raised the wine glass and handed it to his mouth to cover his sudden expression.

As if taking the interaction between Arthur and the people around him as an appetizer, Kevin unknowingly drank many glasses of wine. Later, Kevin felt that those orcs with erect ears and long tails had turned into animal forms. Lions, leopards, tigers and foxes walked all over the house, and Kevin's eyes became dizzy after watching it.This situation made Kevin believe that he was a little drunk, and with the little sobriety left, Kevin concluded that something might happen to him if he stayed here, so he stood up shaking and walked towards the back garden, deciding to go blowing. Hair, sober up.

He didn't realize that all his actions fell into Arthur's eyes, and naturally he didn't notice Arthur's frown when he saw his unsteady steps.

The weather at the end of July was extremely hot. Kevin sat in the gazebo and felt the waves of heat coming. Hearing the tireless chirping of Cicada, he felt a little dizzy with his decision. A breeze to sober yourself up?

Wiping off the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, Kevin decided to go back to his room to sleep, anyway, no one has the time to pay special attention to his absence today.

But the sky always fails to meet people's wishes, and Kevin, who was walking halfway, met someone he absolutely didn't want to meet.

"Mr. Kevin?" Hearing this voice, Kevin frowned instinctively, then raised his head and saw that it was Gris, whom he had met once, and there were several females behind him.

"Hello, Mr. Gris." Kevin took a deep breath and cheered up.

"Hello, Mr. Kevin," Gris smiled and led the crowd towards Kevin, "Why did you come here? It made me look for you everywhere."

"Is there anything you want from me?" Kevin asked politely.

"Since I met you last time, I have been looking for a chance to get together with you again, but I have never had the chance, so I took advantage of Mr. Arthur's birthday today to meet you." Gris is still the same With a friendly smile on his face.

"Uh, so..." Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, Kevin felt that his brain was starting to become a little troubled, but he didn't know what to say after answering.

And Gris stared blankly at Kevin, who was not in the right state, then glanced at Kevin's blushing face, and asked in surprise, "Are you drunk?"

"Well..." Kevin tried his best to keep himself awake, and said slowly, "I probably can't drink too much, just one drink makes me feel a little dizzy..."

"Then are you really okay? Do you want me to call a servant to take you to have a rest?" Gris looked concerned.

"No need," Kevin shook his head twice, then pursed his lips and waved his hands with a smile, "I'm fine, I can find a place to rest by myself."

Probably because Kevin's attitude was too firm, and Gris didn't insist on finding someone to send Kevin off. He only let Kevin leave alone after repeatedly confirming that Kevin could handle it.

Even though he only had a conversation with Gris, Kevin felt that his energy was exhausted too much, his head became dizzy, and his whole body felt dizzy.

Qiang maintained a steady pace until he turned a corner and out of Gris' sight, Kevin quickly found a cool and ventilated place to sit down and start to breathe by relying on his familiarity with the garden.

Because it didn't go very far, the conversations of those females were continuously blown into Kevin's ears by the hot wind.

"Is that the female that General Arthur brought back?"

"It's him. I heard his name is Kevin."

"It's not bad, but it's too uneducated to be drunk in the morning?"

"I heard that General Arthur brought him back from the forest, and I don't know where his home is," the owner of the voice paused, and the next voice took on a different tone, "Maybe This is a new method for some low-ranking nobles who are eager to please General Arthur!"

"Then if you say that, it's understandable if you're uneducated." Another voice interjected.

"Playthings are playthings after all. Don't those stupid, low-class nobles think that such a mysterious, uneducated and unattractive female can bind General Arthur's heart?"

"That is to say, now those down-and-out aristocrats are doing things more and more people feel that they are out of class."

"A down-and-out aristocrat with no class can only send a low-class embryonic female with no class. Maybe Kevin still thinks he is amazing!"

"That's right, looking at him, he seems to have been fascinated by General Arthur. Hmph, I'm looking forward to the day he is abandoned."

……

The discussion was still going on, but the voice became farther and farther away because of the movement of the group of people. Kevin closed his eyes and listened to the comments of the so-called "noble females" who assumed the identity of the "eight wives" and sneered. , muttered, "You're just dirty, your whole family is dirty! I don't like him doing your shit! I like it so what, you can strangle me and piss you off!"

"So, you like me, right?" Suddenly a voice came from above Kevin's head.

And when he opened his eyes and looked at the person who was coming, Kevin felt that he was mostly sober from the wine, and his heart stopped beating instantly.
