The Sun King's Evidence

Entering the castle, Ryan smelled the scent of lavender.

The baron tilted his head, his expression a little stiff, and he thought about who the person was.

Passing through the auditorium on the first floor of the castle, following the scent of lavender, Ryan saw a graceful figure in his study. She was looking at Ryan's collection of books with great interest. Her waist-deep black hair had a moving shimmer. Flashing.

Hearing the footsteps, the visitor said: "I always thought your castle... would be much smaller than I imagined, but your castle is already more luxurious than the castles of many Nord lords."

After saying that, she turned around.

The female member of the Garland Council, Miss Teresa Trowick, appeared in front of Ryan. Today she was wearing a bow-tie Athenian style slant-neck wrap top, black straight leggings, and the familiar butterfly Patterned glasses, long white lace gloves and her cool face.

Her brown short boots moved lightly on the carpet, and following the afternoon sun, the sorceress gently threw herself into the Baron's arms.

"It's been a year and a half, Ryan, how are you?"

"I thought you wouldn't come, Theresa." After not seeing him for a year and a half, the Baron had mixed feelings. The last time we met, he was a knight of the Kingdom of Nord.

Now he is a real baron, a champion chosen by God, and a hero of mankind.

"Some things were delayed. I came to you immediately after I finished dealing with it. It is a very beautiful territory, prosperous and beautiful. Your original choice was not wrong, just like my choice was not wrong." The sorceress saw that Ryan had matured. Looking a lot, full of emotions, she hugged Ryan's neck and said softly.

Ryan reached out and hugged the sorceress, then gently pushed her away: "I wrote to you last year, but there was no news or reply for several months. I thought you would never come."

The sorceress immediately felt the change in Ryan's attitude. She raised her head and looked directly into Ryan's eyes with her beautiful red phoenix eyes: "I'm late, so I'm not welcome?"

"Of course not, dear Theresa, it's just that things changed before you came here... Let's go to the reception room on the second floor to talk." Ryan motioned to the sorceress to follow him to the reception room on the second floor. .

The arrogant and sensitive sorceress immediately felt Ryan's subtle sense of alienation. He had not been seen for more than a year. He was now full of majesty and extremely strong self-confidence, and his strength was also stronger. The legendary mid-level sorceress had already It's impossible to tell what state he is in now.

Thinking of her mother's words, Theresa looked at Ryan's back, stamped her foot, and hurried to follow.

ten minutes later.

In the luxurious reception room, carpets from Estalia, oil paintings from Belion, exquisite sculptures from dwarves and handicrafts from wood elves tell the baron's sincerity to his guests.

But what Teresa felt was a sense of distance. The sorceress felt as if there was a thick wall separating herself from Ryan. This was not what she wanted.

The sorceress sat on the soft sofa. She crossed one of her long legs and said in a dangerous tone: "Is this the answer you want to give me? Mr. Ryan? Is this how you welcome your partner?"

"Hahahaha!" Ryan couldn't help laughing. He took out a bottle of red wine: "Your temper still hasn't changed, Teresa. It's obvious that you are late, but you can still be so plausible... I want some red wine. Huh? The fine wine produced in Winford should be very expensive in your place, right?"

After listening to Ryan's words, Teresa's pretty face turned red, and she couldn't maintain her mature and cool look: "That's because your attitude is very bad! Ryan, it turns out we are not like this!"

"You just broke into my castle and you have the nerve to say that I have a bad attitude? My eldest lady." Ryan placed the glass goblet in front of Theresa. There was a faint smile on the Baron's face: "Be careful. Get kicked out by me!"

"You dare!?" Teresa stood up immediately. Seeing Ryan's faint smile, the sorceress realized that she had been teased and had to sit down again: "You have to ask your Bernadotte Miss, if it weren’t for her and her mentor, Speaker Margarita, I wouldn’t have come to your territory so late.”

"Oh? Did something happen?" Ryan also poured himself a glass of red wine, and then sat down opposite Theresa. The baron was wearing full aristocratic casual clothes, and his inquiry was heard in the ears of the sorceress. More like a routine inquiry.

He is really completely different, Teresa thought in her heart, and the sorceress sighed secretly in her heart. What on earth has Ryan done in the past year and a half? Doesn't the well-informed Congresswoman of Garland know?

After pondering for a moment, Teresa gave up complaining, and the sorceress picked up the goblet with some understatement: "It's nothing, it's just that after I received your letter, Speaker Margaretta didn't agree with me to put down what I was doing. I had to wait until I completed the task before rushing here."

"That's it, Teresa, it's hard to come all the way." Ryan stood up. He looked at the scenery outside the window through his castle and his territory: "Do you need a rest? I asked the servant to prepare the food on the third floor. Guest room.”

"Lian... you." Teresa felt very annoyed and frustrated. The sorceress didn't know what was wrong. She stood up anxiously and walked behind Ryan: "What on earth is going on? Aren't we partners? Why did I Is it the same conversation between the lord and the wizard?"

"It's nothing, I'm just arranging these things, just like you arranged for me." Ryan turned around, his face was calm.

The sorceress's face turned pale, and she said softly: "I'm sorry..."

Teresa knew what Ryan was talking about, and it seemed that he was still brooding about what happened before.

The relationship between Ryan and the Gloria Council has been reversed. Before, Ryan, as a legendary junior knight with no foundation, he sought help from the Gloria Council. In this case, Aurora, as the stronger party, The elder can use his power to pressure others, he can give Teresa to him when he knows that his partner is Veronica, he can change the candidates frequently at will, and he can call his partner away as soon as he completes the task. .

Ryan is now different from what he used to be. There are many wizards willing to work for him and provide magic solutions. As long as he needs it, Morgiana will immediately send the Lake God Prophet to stay, and the high elves have also extended an olive branch.

So he was expressing his dissatisfaction, and he was forcefully telling Aurora and her daughter that their previous cooperation was over, their favors had been used up, and everything had to start again.

Indeed, as Aurora had judged, Ryan's good impression of their mother and daughter had been exhausted by Teresa's poor performance. Ryan's performance made the sorceress feel a twinge of pain in her heart.

I messed up everything and now I'm going to make up for it.

"It's okay. It's already a big improvement that you're willing to apologize, dear Theresa." After hearing the sorceress's apology, Ryan nodded, indicating that he accepted it. Only then did the faint feeling of alienation disappear, and the baron's face Finally, he showed a sincere smile: "I accept your apology. Welcome to Baron Jean, my territory."

"Thank you." The sorceress forced a smile and said, "I know I have done a lot of bad things before, but I won't do it again in the future. Trust me, Ryan."

"Um."

Teresa Trowick and Veronica are indeed very different. Compared with Veronica who does not have much property and can only carry her own books, clothes, magic scrolls and a big bed, Teresa What Sarah brought could be called a luxury.

In addition to her huge private property, Congresswoman Gloria also brought the latest grains researched by the Church of Life, as well as letters from Lane's adoptive father, Lord Norman of Auternay.

The adoptive father's letter told Ryan that everything was fine. Norman said that he planned to retire in a few years, and the lordship would be handed over to Ryan's cousin, Norman's nephew. Ryan's various deeds are connected to Norman's. Norman was very proud of him. Similarly, his adoptive father also used a questioning tone to criticize Ryan's behavior of throwing himself into the arms of the fairy in the lake. Norman said that he was very disappointed in this matter because Yuri Ke is the correct object of belief.

"I went to Orternay to visit your parents." Teresa took out some small gifts: "They gave me a lot of things."

"How are your father and mother?" Ryan played with the little puppets made by his mother and recalled the memories of his childhood. A smile appeared on his face as he recalled the past.

"Everything is fine." Teresa said with some embarrassment: "Sister Dietlinde and I went to visit them. Sister Dietlinde checked their bodies and made potions for them."

"This must be Ms. Aurora's idea, right?" Ryan put these things away very carefully: "Anyway, I still want to thank you."

"No, this is what we should do." Teresa shook her head quickly.

After saying these things, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and the sorceress and the baron seemed to have nothing to talk about.

"By the way, Ryan, I saw two wizard towers being built near your castle..." Theresa was trying to stir up a topic, when a sweet voice came from the door of the reception room: "Ouch, Who is this? Why did the little princess of Jialan condescend to come to this small territory?"

Veronica, wearing a blue dress and white high heels, walked in from the door of the reception room, with an exaggerated smile on her sweet face: "Ms. Trowick? Are you confused about the first-come, first-served rule? Do you want me to teach you?"

"Veronica!" Teresa stood up, the sorceress's silver eyes full of anger: "I don't want to argue with you!"

"But I want to argue with you! Because our little Princess Gloria seems not to understand some simple truths from beginning to end!" Veronica's long dark brown shawl hair was tied with many white ribbons and a bow tied in her ear. , her beautiful almond eyes stared at Theresa who was glaring at her: "Should I say you are ignorant or shameless? How dare you chase me here? You really make me feel sick, Trovik ."

"Who do you think you are talking to? Veronica! Ryan also wrote to me at the same time!" Teresa also stood up. The sorceress was angered by the witch, and she pointed at Veronica: "Young Master Nonsense, let’s decide the winner!”

Sure enough, the meeting between the two witches was like a tit-for-tat confrontation like sparks hitting the earth. Ryan was helpless when he saw Veronica was so excited. He also wanted to persuade her, but Veronica took his hand: "Get out, honey, This is between Trovik and me!”

"But..." "Nothing but, get out and I promise you I won't collapse your castle!"

"That's right, Ryan, give us some space. Veronica and I need to come to an end." Teresa also raised her staff, and the sorceress stared at the aggressive Witch of Gloria: "This matter nothing dealing with you."

Ryan had no choice but to go out and close the door. He heard a lot of indecent words starting with F and various unheard curse words, and then it quickly evolved into...

The baron sighed and walked up the stairs to the first floor.

"Master, what are you doing down there? I feel like the floor is shaking." The dark elf was pushing the dining cart by when she saw Ryan appearing, and the maid stopped.

"There are some feuds between the two witches that need to be resolved." Ryan shrugged. Theresa and Veronica had a long history of hatred, and it was obvious that the hatred between them had deepened because of him.

"Two witches? Is the new witch the Miss Teresa that the master once mentioned?" Orika then asked.

"Her arrival is a bit embarrassing, Orica. I wrote to Theresa and Veronica last year. I hope they can come to my territory to help me build it and provide me with magic answers... Ryan also felt the floor beneath his feet shaking: "Seeing that Theresa didn't reply or come, I..."

"You thought she wouldn't come, Master." Olica said softly: "Miss Teresa's arrival makes you a little embarrassed, because there is a deep conflict between her and Ms. Veronica, and... witches are magicians. One consultant is enough.”

"Speaking of which, Orica, you were also a spell caster, right?" Ryan stopped.

"...Yes, master, I am also a spell caster." The dark elf suddenly laughed: "At least, the two witch ladies upstairs are no match for me, but now I am just the master's maid. "

"Hey, no woman in the family is simple. You guys make me sad." Ryan followed Olica into the kitchen. Theresa came from afar, and the Baron planned to cook in person.

"If the master needs magic answers, I can actually do that, but the master needs to... share the same room with me the night before." The maid leaned on Ryan's back: "Human magic is... practical for elves. It’s too simple.”

"We'll talk about these things later." Ryan did not answer the question.

Teresa's arrival has already given him a headache. He really didn't expect the sorceress to come at this time. In fact, his territory no longer needs a second witch, but Teresa came because of him after all. Can't refuse either.

When the baron was preparing his dinner, Teresa walked out of the reception room with a smile on her face: "Ryan, go see your Miss Veronica, I think she needs your help."

"???"

This chapter was deleted, edited, and rewritten several times, but I still felt dissatisfied with it. However, this awkward attitude did reflect the awkward relationship between the protagonist and the sorceress, so I decided to leave it at that, which was fine.
