Edward's eyes turned to the direction of the blond knight, with a gloomy look on his face.

This man who was brought back by Terrence made him feel unhappy from the bottom of his heart, like a hound with pricked up ears and sniffing nose, always flattering Terrence.I heard that the other party's bedroom is arranged next to Terrence - it was once a guest room specially prepared for Edward.

Damn, lowly, muscle-less fools!With luck, catch up with the nouveau riche in the aristocratic circle!

Edward thought grimly. He thought it was the cheap knight who had pushed him out of the climb.

But no matter how twisted and cursed in his heart, Edward still maintained a decent appearance on the surface, and greeted the new characters with a cheerful voice-in the Aldrette Mansion, he was the same Edward who had never changed. Only in this way can Terrence be reminded of the... deep friendship between the two.

Lancer glanced at him and walked straight to Terrence's side.

As a high-level martial artist, Lancer is unusually sensitive to hostility. Edward's kid-like cover-up will only make him look more stupid and ridiculous.

But what made Lancer frown even more was Edward's dangerous look at Terrence.

But the clever little master seemed to turn a blind eye to this, and didn't know the danger of the other party at all.

Lancer's silence was like a provocation, which ignited Edward's now sensitive nerves.He clenched his fists tightly, and there was a friction sound between the bones.

Terrence leaned over and touched Edward's forehead: "Ed, are you okay? You look very bad, are you uncomfortable?"

Edward didn't know if his expression was revealing anything, but seeing Terrence's face so close at hand still gave him a shock.

"No, it's fine."

Edward tried to smile again, he didn't know if he succeeded, but Terrence seemed to believe it, smiled and let out a sigh of relief: "That's good."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly fell backwards, away from Edward's side.Terrence turned his head and saw the frowning Lancer, whose hand was still on his wrist.

"Mr. Adam has something to ask you, master." The blond knight said with his facial features tensed.

Terrence raised his eyebrows: "Really?"

He looked at Lanser's gloomy expression, which rarely changed, and didn't say much. He turned to Edward and said, "I have something to do. Please wait a moment and let Lanser talk to you for a while."

After finishing speaking, he left the two people who didn't deal with him from inside to outside, got up and walked outside.

The moment he completely left the sight of the two of them, he cast a meaningful glance at Edward indiscriminately, and the other party's expression had long since lost the cheerfulness just now.

A flower cut off and placed in a water bottle...it still looks vibrant, but in fact, the longer it is soaked in water, the faster the roots will rot. One day, this flower will become moldy and wither ugly.

And Edward is the flower that broke away from the noble soil and struggled to survive in the false world in a bottle.

In fact, watching the opponent's withering process is also very interesting, provided that he does not become so annoying.

Terrence walked around the huge manor, and finally saw Adam Smith.

"I don't have anything to explain to you." Adam, holding various books in his arms, answered Terrence's inquiry strangely. He was tidying up the library.

Terrence waved his hand indifferently. He had long guessed that what Lancer said was actually a lie, and he just took advantage of the other party's words to leave.

Lancer probably didn't understand his behavior of getting close to Edward even though he knew that Edward's appearance was different, so he became more defensive towards Edward.This also makes Terrence very interesting.

Adam remembered something, put the things in his hands aside, took out an invitation card from his arms, and handed it to Terrence: "Someone sent it just now, and I wanted to send it to your study later."

Terrence flipped through the bronzing invitation in his hand: "Stiller...why haven't I heard of this surname?"

"Have you forgotten? This is a big merchant who exclusively supplies spices for the royal family. Some of the Aldertri family's output is also sold abroad through him."

Terrence showed a look of sudden realization.The property belonging to Aldrette under him is taken care of by special personnel, so the little duke basically doesn't pay much attention to business matters, but the imperial merchant Terrence still has a vague impression.

"Why, has he come to the imperial capital?" Terrence flipped the card in his hand, "Specially handing over invitations to the Aldrette Mansion, could it be said that this big businessman who has traveled around the world to speculate is planning to make a final decision in Shannen Pyle?" down?"

Thinking about it this way is not impossible. Perhaps this well-informed businessman has vaguely sensed the tense atmosphere between Shaning Pyer and Abant. What he resells are all luxury goods, and he even wandered around during the war. I am afraid that if you leave, you will lose not only the business, but also your life.

Adam shook his head: "I'm not sure about that, but I heard that this Mr. Stiller recently collected several very precious treasures and shipped them to the imperial capital together with the goods."

"Oh... I still came prepared." Terrence laughed.

"So, are you going?"

"Why not? I believe this businessman will prepare a suitable gift for me, right?"

Terrence patted the invitation, turned around and was about to leave, and said to the butler, "Go and say sorry to Ed, just say that I'm in a hurry and can't entertain him."

"Ok."

Terrence looked at Adam and saluted respectfully, then put down his work and left.

The butler has always been rigorous and courteous, asking no questions and saying no more. Perhaps the most outrageous thing he did was searching for Terrence's whereabouts on the border of the empire alone with his guards a year ago.

This is a loyal and wise servant.Terrence recognized Adam's loyalty from then on.

Lancer was completely different, that man had a natural aggressiveness, even if he was respectful and polite, it couldn't conceal the toughness and arrogance in his bones.His loyalty has the aggressive strength of a warrior, just like his usual style of conduct.

Terrence looked at his wrist and sighed inexplicably.

After listening to Adam's message, Edward's expression became embarrassed for a moment, but he quickly replied with a smile: "It seems that Terrence has been very busy recently."

Adam bent down: "I'm sorry. The young master asked me to convey his apology on his behalf. You can move about in the mansion by yourself. I think the young master will be very happy that you are still here after finishing his work."

——Think of me as a dog that comes and goes when it is called? !

Adam's seemingly apologetic words were so ironic in Edward's ears—of course, Terrence is a duke and of course things are busy, and he, who has been expelled, must have nothing to do, and it depends on the other party to make time in his spare time meet him.

There was great anger mixed with contempt and inferiority in his chest, but Edward did not dare to be presumptuous. He squeezed out a smile: "In that case, I'd better go back today. When Terrence is free next time, I'll come find him again."

Adam didn't do much to keep him, and said, "Thank you for your understanding, then please allow me to send you off."

Edward took a deep breath. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lancer who had been standing silently by the side since he left, and rejected Adam's proposal with a smile: "If you want to help Terrence, let him come Just send me off."

"This……"

Looking at the object Edward pointed at, Adam frowned.

Although Lancer followed Terrence all the time, he was not a real servant, but a subordinate of Terrence.Even though the rank of the knight is low, Edward's status is now a commoner. It is really rude for Lancer to send Edward away in person.

Although the young butler was still hesitating, Lancer had already taken a step and stood by the door—looking at his posture, Adam always felt that the other party was eager to send him out—so he shut his mouth.

Outside the main entrance of the main house is a square array of shrubs as tall as a person, which has been neatly repaired. Looking down from the high terrace, you can see the composition of green shrubs, colorful flower beds and white fine stone paths. The huge goshawk family crest.

Lancer led Edward down the path to the gate.

Edward looked at the straight back of the blond knight, and finally couldn't help but snorted coldly: "He's just a commoner with no background, even if he squeezed into the noble circle by relying on Terrence, he's just a dog crawling on the ground!"

In the living room, because he was worried that Terrence would come in at any time, he had been secretly enduring his hostility towards Lancer. Now, in the green road, Edward finally couldn't help his disgust towards Lancer, even mixed with the humiliation just now. anger.

Lancer turned his head to look at him. The sight of Edward looking directly at Edward on his face with rigid features made him feel challenged again, and he said with a gloomy expression, "Why? Do you feel unconvinced? No matter how unwilling you are Change the fact that you came from a humble background. A surname that I don’t know where it came from, maybe you just made it up for the sake of face?"

Edward said, laughing out loud.

"Isn't this talking about yourself?" Lancer finally spoke.

He is not the object of bullying and ridicule by others, and no one but Terrence can treat him with a superior attitude.The reason for keeping silent in the living room was unfortunately equal to that of Edward.He didn't know what Terrence meant to Edward, so in order not to offend the little master, he had to endure it secretly.

But since Edward came to the door automatically, there was no reason for the blond knight to remain silent.

Lancer stared at Edward's immature but gloomy face, and continued: "I forgot one thing, you have been deprived of your surname too, haven't you? Now you are just a commoner and you insult me ​​so much, according to the law The law is a crime."

Edward gritted his teeth and twisted his face.That's right, the gap between civilians and nobles is so huge, which makes Edward even more disgusted with his current miserable situation.

He pulled out the long sword at his waist and pointed at Lancer's nose: "So what? Do you see if Terrence will trust me or you? Maybe you will become jealous of me and slander me." You shameless person? Then, what will Terrence think of you!"

Edward said, laughing as if he had thought of some good idea: "Oh, how about I cut myself a few wounds now? Mr. Knight shot and hurt Terrence's important friend, you may be killed by Tyrence Lance throws it away like a useless rag."

Lancer frowned, Edward's words finally offended him.

Edward didn't even see the opponent's movements clearly, and Lancer snatched the long sword away.Immediately after a whirlwind, he was pressed to the ground, the sword was deeply embedded in the ground against his cheek, and the gray hair was tied in so tightly that Edward would pull his scalp if he wanted to raise his head .

"Don't try to deceive the master with your worthless friendship, or the next time this sword will pierce your throat, you can see if I dare!" Lancer's eyes seemed to be as sharp as iron. The sharp blade cut Edward's face.Although he stayed in the imperial capital for a year, his ruthless skills and extremely threatening aura have not disappeared.

Edward watched stiffly as Edward drew the blade and pulled him up from the ground.The sword light flashed across his waist, Edward almost thought that the opponent was going to kill him, only to realize after a few seconds that the opponent flicked the sword casually and threw the sword into the scabbard around his waist.

"Don't try to harm the master, and don't try to provoke me...Master Edward."

After finishing speaking, Lancer stopped looking at him, and left Edward standing where he was, and went back the same way.
