Chapter 7 before departure

The refreshing morning breeze blew through the hair, and Terrence took a breath of the air with the scent of flowers and herbs comfortably, feeling much clearer.

Because the cold air of early spring had dissipated over time, the little prince gradually moved his official duties to the garden in the morning to complete.

In order to allow the little master to work comfortably, Adam Smith deliberately found a sunshade umbrella stand and exquisite tables and chairs. Not only that, but he also decorated the nearby shrubs into various teenagers and girls playing in his spare time. .

Terrence had to be amazed by Mr. Butler's exquisite craftsmanship, but when he was looking at the documents, he was surrounded by a bunch of laughing and playing portraits, no matter how he thought about it, it made people feel uncomfortable!

Adam, who was expressionless, replied like this: "Because it's too lonely to see the young master working alone, so I want to make your side more lively."

"..."

——Please do this so I feel more sad, okay? !

Thinking of the young butler, Terrence turned to look at Borg behind him, and asked, "Why haven't you seen Adam until now?"

"Mr. Smith has gone to the ranch in the country to check on the status of the horses. I'm afraid he won't be back before dinner."

Terrence nodded. He put down the information in his hand, rubbed his forehead, and asked casually: "Is there a magic spar among the relics my mother left me? Go and get it for me." .”

Borg asked strangely: "There is no magic spar in the things left by Madam, young master, do you remember wrongly?"

"Is that so?" Terrence looked at Borg, "I remember seeing it when I was tidying up things, isn't it in the warehouse?"

Facing Terrence's question again, Borg bowed down respectfully and replied: "Madam left behind only two boxes of jewels, some magic scrolls and two staffs, which I asked you to put into the storage at that time, and there are indeed no magic crystals. You know Madam doesn't use that thing often, but the master has a few boxes of water-based crystals that are kept in the study alone."

"I know, because someone mentioned wood-type crystals to me a few days ago, and I vaguely remember that there seems to be one at home. It seems that I remembered it wrong."

"If you want, I will order my servants to go and buy some back."

"No, it's useless to me anyway."

Terrence curled his lips, and turned his attention to the document again.

——There is no need for Borg to deceive himself for a piece of spar that is not very valuable, unless he knows that the value of that thing is not simple——this is obviously impossible, since his mother didn’t even tell him, let alone leak it to others .You can't pin your hopes on this kind of thing, and then you have to think about how to get the original fruit.

Terrence thought about it.

Although he had made up his mind to go to Postwall Forest, it was obviously quite difficult for him to leave the Royal City with his current status and age.Even after leaving the imperial capital, how to go to the destination unobtrusively is also a problem.

The Postvor Forest is located in the center of the three empires, and there are many small countries in the middle near the edge of the forest. The Principality of Sealand is one of them, but Terrence does not want to take the route there anyway.Once he appears in the Principality of Sealand, what he wants to do will never be hidden from the Grand Duke of Sealand who provided the information, but after all, he and the Grand Duke are only casual acquaintances at present. The machine assassinated him.And his own fief was separated from the forest by two small cities, so it was a bit tricky to get from the fief to Postoval quietly.

Sighing in distress, Terrence pushed away everything at hand, rested his chin on the table and let his eyes go blank. The chaotic thoughts and quiet atmosphere made him drowsy.

Just when the little duke was about to fall asleep, Borg woke him up at the right time.

"……Well?"

Terrence rubbed his eyes and looked up.

"The young master of Earl Winslet's family is visiting, do you want to bring him here, master?" Borg relayed the message from the doorman just now.

Hearing that name, Terrence's eyes narrowed reflexively, like a big lazy cat perking up, and Borg read the "I'm unhappy" message from his actions.

The deacon has long been used to the little master's unhappy temper these days - he attributes this to the fact that the little duke has just lost his parents and is not mentally stable - but he is a little confused when Master Winslet offended Your Excellency the Duke, you must know that these two people were good before, but they could make the little master give up half of the bed.

But as a housekeeper, he shouldn't interfere with the master's personal affairs, so Borg didn't show anything.

Terrence's drowsy mind started to work again, and he asked Borg to take all the things on the table back to the study, and asked someone to invite Edward Winslet in.

Edward was wearing a small silver-blue suit today. He already had a height of 160 centimeters at the age of ten, making him look more mature and handsome than his peers.

Compared with the gentle facial features he inherited from his mother, Terrence has always envied the other person's figure and appearance—of course, the heartbroken little duke hates seeing the face in front of him the most.

However, the deeper the disgust roiled in his heart, the sweeter the expression on Terrence's face, he took Edward's hand affectionately, and brought him to sit beside him: "I was just feeling bored and you came here, finally Let me breathe a sigh of relief."

"Tired?" Edward looked at Terrence's face, and stretched out his hand to pin the curly hair behind his ear.

Terrence stepped back subconsciously - he didn't feel that much before, but now he realizes that Edward's body movements are too much. This kind of natural aura of a veteran in love is really true for Terrence today. Call him intolerable.

Terrence concealed the gloom between his brows, and pretended to complain: "You don't know, I have to read a bunch of documents every morning (the documents are full of nonsense), and the number of courses is twice as much as before (God knows I I’ve learned it twice), and my sleep time is pushed back two hours at night (part of which is thinking about how to kill you perfectly).”

Finally, the little count concluded lamentingly: "Being a duke is no fun at all."

Edward smiled and patted Terrence on the shoulder: "But you are more free than before, aren't you? As long as you say you want to rest, I don't think anyone will stop a Duke's decision, right? You just pushed yourself Too tight, Terrence."

Terrence raised his eyebrows because of Edward's remarks, and nodded in response: "What you said makes sense..." He nodded his lower lip and gave a grunt, with distress still on his brows. "But Adam dismantled all my swings and slides. When Jack and the others came yesterday, we could only go to the greenhouse to see the flowers. It was so boring."

Edward thought for a while and said, "How about we go out to play? Just like before. Do you remember that once I secretly took you to our family's fief, but when I was found later, I was severely beaten by my father?" It took a beating."

He smiled slightly as he recalled what happened at that time.

Terrence raised an eyebrow.Of course he remembered what Edward said. After all, no matter which life, what Edward likes to do the most is to pull Terrence back to the past. Thanks to him, Terrence really has a deep memory of his childhood.

Around the age of 7, Edward did secretly take Terrence out of the imperial capital.At that time, Terrence was throwing a tantrum because of a toothache. A group of children who often surrounded him were too frightened to speak out. It was Edward who stood up and said that he wanted to give Terrence a surprise and controlled Terrence. Emotions.

That day, he took Terrence back to the Earl's Mansion, and then ran to Winslet City through the teleportation array set up in the Earl's Mansion - thank God, the nobles of the Earl and below do not need to report to the Queen in advance when using the teleportation array to return to the fief. That's why Terrence and Edward's disappearance will be unnoticed for a while. By the time the servants find out that something is wrong, both of them are already in the toy store in the city.

Speaking of which, that night, when the duchess brought Terrence and Edward back with her attendants, she, who was always gentle, lost her temper severely.Edward stood stubbornly in front of Terrence, and said to the angry duchess: "Terrence has never gone out to play, isn't it too pitiful? I admit that my behavior is very inappropriate, but How can I bear to ignore Terrence's request? I am willing to do anything for Terrence, even if you want to punish me for it, it doesn't matter!"

At that time, Terrence was also distressed by his mother's overprotection, and Edward's words undoubtedly moved him. Even the Duchess felt that Edward's friendship with his son came from the heart, but he did something wrong in a moment of confusion.Thinking about it now, the other party is simply using himself as a guise to hope to escape punishment.

I don't mind judging my former friends with the most sinister intentions, the conclusion Terrence made is actually the truth.Compared with a person like Terrence who was born lacking in intrigue and deceit, Edward was undoubtedly born with the hypocrisy and affectation of aristocrats.

But Edward's words reminded Terrence of one thing - the small fief of the Winslet family was on the edge of Boswater Forest.

A gleam flashed in Terrence's eyes: "Hey, Edward, shall we secretly go to Winslet City to play again this time?"

"...Huh? What?"

Edward, who originally wanted to call Terrence to play on the street, suddenly froze.

"I mean—" Terrence approached Edward intimately, and whispered into his ear, "we're going to Winslet City, um, don't tell anyone."

"You are the Duke now, Terrence! How can you just—"

Terrence quickly covered Edward's mouth: "Keep your voice down, my friend. This matter must not be heard by my housekeeper."

Edward frowned, obeyed Terrence's words and lowered his voice, but still said disapprovingly: "Don't do this, Terrence, this is not a small matter. Maybe you can talk to your housekeeper, at least not just you Come with me both."

When Edward did that three years ago, he didn't think so much. He was purely trying to please Terrence, but when he alarmed the Duchess, he broke out in a cold sweat.Now he understands better what is the bottom line of his behavior, secretly taking away the Duke of the Empire?He is going crazy!

Terrence didn't intend to lose the opportunity to deliver it to his door. As for whether it would be difficult for Edward to do so, he didn't think about it: "You must not tell Borg and Adam about this, they will definitely destroy it."

"But my status is low. If I take you away like this, I might die." Seeing that Terrence couldn't be persuaded, Edward had no choice but to resort to bitter tricks.Although Terrence is sometimes self-willed, he has always been soft-hearted. Edward can only hope that the other party can see the relationship between the two of them to give up.

It's a pity that Edward Winslet is definitely not among Terrence's soft-hearted objects.He took out what Edward said just now to stop him: "Don't worry, I'm the Duke now, as long as I speak, no one will dare to do anything to you, trust me, Ed."

He no longer gave Edward a chance to speak, and directly pulled him up: "That's it, we're leaving now!"

"Now? Immediately, immediately?"

Edward was horrified.

"Of course not, Ed." Terrence blinked back, and just when Edward thought things could turn around, he said again, "Let me prepare something first, and then we'll set off."
