The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

For Lily 99's laxity, Riber didn't know whether to remind her.

After all, do dolls really care about such things?

Or, would someone really ask the Taoyuan brothers in their mind to visit the thatched cottage just because they saw the underwear worn by the doll?

Even if there is, shouldn't he let this puppet, which still has a flawless mind, see how free the so-called human beings are in some aspects...

Lily 99 looked at the earl tremblingly, for fear that her work would not be done well.Probably never dreamed that the Lord Earl was thinking about these things under his dignified face.

"So, is it really enough to only need these rewards? You are welcome, the Campret family will not treat anyone who has made a contribution. Well, of course, including dolls."

Due to the fact that Lily 99 was half-coerced, Riber also wanted to pay her three to five times more.

Anyway, it was a reward from the "Camprete Family", and he really didn't feel bad at all.

"Thank you, Earl. It's just that these are really enough. Master Manette left a lot of property, and after all, dolls basically don't need these."

Lily 99 said with a sigh of resentment.The face, which was originally carefully crafted, was extraordinarily lovable.

"If the Earl is willing to fulfill my request, I hope you can try not to publicize this matter. Because, like Master Manette, I can't make those prosthetics at will. Faced with such a situation, I can only use The inventory left by the master. Therefore, if other nobles also hear about this matter and come to hear the news, it will be very difficult for me."

Lily 99 said, covering half of her face with her long sleeves, as if she was wiping away her tears, giving the audience a sad atmosphere.

And Lysa also stepped forward at the right time, and got together with Lily 99.

The two of them, feeling sad, glanced quietly at Riber from the corner of their eyes.

If Riber cast their eyes over, the two would "cry each other" and "confess to each other", and when Riber looked away a little, they would turn their eyes back again nervously, in the thieves' observation. Bell's reaction.

After this situation lasted several times, Ribel, who was really helpless, asked Ewenna aloud.

"What are they doing?"

"Sister Lysa hopes that Mr. Riber can hire Lily."

Ewenna said very directly.

And just when Riber uttered such doubts as "Huh?", Lysa and Lily 99 had already called out Ewenna's name in a long and complaining tone.

However, the title of Lily 99 is a bit strange.She called "Sister Evanna".

Seeing Riber's questioning gaze again, Ewenna continued to explain,

"Sister Lysa, she decided to make Lily a member of us without authorization."

"..."

Riber could personally feel that Ewenna's helplessness seemed to go deep into the bone marrow.

A member of "them" probably refers to the Phantom Thieves.

Although, Lily 99, who can manipulate dolls and is almost impossible to find, is really suitable for the business of phantom thief.However, is it really okay to recruit the Phantom Thieves so casually?

Rather, it's only been a few days.How sympathetic Lysa and Lily 99 are to get along so well.

"Hire?"

Riber frowned slightly.And Lily 99 also started to promote herself.

Although, when it comes to prosthetics, Lily 99's skills are not yet consummate, and she can't make anything with "magic" effects.However, she is confident that she will not lose to anyone just making dolls.

Feeling the incomparable sense of expectation displayed by Lily 99, Riber also knew what her worries and anxiety were for.

Even if Riber didn't publicize, "The Earl of Campret took the maid with one arm to the doll's mansion, and the maid didn't lack an arm when she came out." This kind of story full of curiosity is very likely to appear in the The aristocratic circle spread.

Then, it is not difficult to foresee the scene where nobles who are idle and have nothing to do will swarm here.

Ask these nobles, where is there so much demand for prosthetics?

In order to verify the authenticity of the rumors, it is not difficult for them to directly find a person with sound limbs and make them crippled.

It would be fine if "Master Manette" refused all door-to-door business and drove away all the guests as usual.Once the mouth is opened and there is a precedent, things will become difficult.

For the aristocrats who value face quite a lot, the situation of "you can do the earl's business, but not mine" may be tantamount to enmity.

And once Lily 99 starts "doing business", it will only be a matter of time before she is exposed.

In the old royal capital where great aristocrats were prevalent, a "master" could not retain a detached position after all.

As for why Lily 99 chose Riber as her umbrella.

Riber felt that this was basically an act of breaking a can.

Ribeier has figured out her bottom, what else can't she get rid of?

"Puppet..."

When mentioning the doll Rebel, the figure comes to mind.And hand-made restaurants, which sound confusing, can they really become popular...

Riber thought it might be worth trying, so he didn't rule out hiring a dedicated puppeteer for the restaurant.Then, the remaining problem is the light on this Lily 99.

...

Forget it, it's all over now, it's just an important supporting role!

In the end, Riber still couldn't resist Lily 99 and Lysa's eye attack full of hope, and agreed to hire "Master Manette" to stay in the nameless restaurant.

When Taya, who had been dismissed, came back, she heard that Riber had hired Master Manette, and a question mark almost appeared on her face that was visible to the naked eye.

In this day and age, restaurants still need puppet masters?

Although she couldn't figure it out, Taya still silently provided a contract for Master Manette.

...

...

The day after the number of strange employees at the nameless restaurant increased, the main force of the restaurant finally arrived at the old royal capital.

That's right, Alice...'s mother, Ms. Fern!

Almost eight days later than Ribel and others, Sebastian and Ed's family finally arrived at the old capital.

At that time, Riber, who was chatting with Annie in the stable, saw the familiar little figure with long golden hair appearing in the backyard from a distance.

The moment she saw Riber, Alice ran over at a trot, opening her arms as if for a swooping hug.

Regarding Alice's enthusiasm, Riber didn't feel any doubt or discomfort.

After all, they have always been so close.

So, throw yourself into your arms as much as you want, and let go of the thoughts accumulated in the past half month!

With a reserved smile, Riber slightly opened his arms.

Then, he saw Alice passing by him, flying over and hugging Anne.

"..."

"Long time no see! Annie and Berta!"

Immediately, behind Riber, the sound of Tianma and the girl playing together sounded.

Turning around with a stiff face, Riber happened to meet Alice who was looking at him with eyes like looking at a fool, as if silently saying, "You don't think I will hug you, do you?" ?”

"..."

Facing Alice's blatant dislike, Riber was silent for a while, and then heaved a long sigh of relief.

All right, even if this little thing turns back to normal.

It can be regarded as a good thing.

I don't know, in order to celebrate this good event, this little guy is willing to live in the stables from now on...

Volume Three: Chapter 170, Daily Life in the Cracks

Although, Riber also knew that the Church of Light, one of the three famous organizations in the Kingdom, would not be able to embarrass a person who was blessed by the God of Light in their holy city.

Although, Sebastian can almost send a letter every day to report his safety.Inform Ribel that the hint of Grace remaining in Alice has been completely cleared by a bishop of the Church of Light.And when she prayed to the statue of the God of Light for the second time, Alice received another blessing from the God of Light.

However, during the waiting period in the old capital, Riber was still a little uneasy.

I always feel that maybe there will be a bloody plot where Alice and her party are detained in the Holy City and he has to rescue them.

He doesn't trust the light of the protagonist in Alice, and he doesn't trust his own constitution that will always be involved in various incidents.

Fortunately, everything is fine.

From this point of view, from the perspective of the Church of Light as a whole, the incident in Greenwater City is really a sudden disaster.

Not only was the Church of Light in Greenwater City, one of the important strongholds, completely wiped out, but the entire church would also fall into a vortex of public opinion afterwards. As a victim, he had to take all the responsibilities and deal with the aftermath.

And, because this incident was broken by the Knights.Therefore, the interior of the Bright Church will not be stable.

At that time, in Greenwater City, when he heard that Erhard, the head of the Knights branch, was ruthlessly dismissed, Riber was still aggrieved for Erhard for a while.But now after calming down, look at this matter objectively.The punishment of Erhard by the headquarters of the Knights actually included protection.

After all, Erhard is also the central figure in the incident.Therefore, even if she came from a prominent family, she could not protect herself from the strife among the big forces.

...

After thinking for a while, Riber shook his head.

The only thing he is lucky about is that he was not involved in the follow-up of the Greenwater City incident.

While Riber was thinking, the old butler Sebastian also came to the stable.

The moment he saw Riber, Sebas ran to his legs, hugged his legs and cried bitterly.Said that the more than ten days without seeing the young master seemed as long as more than ten years.

Facing Sebastian's exaggerated one-liners, Riber felt inexplicably unable to laugh even though he thought it was funny.

After crying for a while holding Riber's leg, he looked at Anne and Berta who were being caressed by Alice.Perhaps because Sebas, who felt that the Pegasus horses were very docile today, was emboldened by evil, he also wanted to hug his horses.

And the result, of course, needless to say.

Seeing the scene where the two pegasus nimbly dodged Sebas' embrace, Riber felt like he was looking at the poor clown.

Um...

Did Alice have the same mentality when she saw him before?

Sure enough, let her be the most luxurious room in the mansion, the stable?

After tossing with Tenma for a while, Sebastian ran back to Riber.

On this day, Sebastian was also excited, and vowed that in the old royal capital, he would also serve as the young master's "best" steward, dedicating everything he had.

And Riber, who was touched, put his hand on Sebas's shoulder affectionately.

"However, you are already a gardener now."

"what!"

After that, looking at Sebastian's figure that seemed to be weathering in the bitter cold wind, Riber returned to the main room of the mansion with an indifferent smile.

In the past, he was always slandering that he wanted to replace Sebastian, the butler who always backstabbed him in strange places.

But when Sebastian was replaced, Riber really still felt...

Well...

Good?

cough cough.

All in all, the reunion of Sebastian and Alice's family undoubtedly added new vitality to Riber's sticky life in the old capital.

...

...

After seeing Alice and Sebastian in the stables, Riber met Ed and Fern, the future main force of the unnamed restaurant, in the main building of the mansion.

The Ed and his wife, who had a much deeper feeling for the unnamed restaurant than Riber, fell into a trance when they saw the new house in the old royal capital, which was somewhat similar in structure and decoration to the old house in Greenwater.

It wasn't just that the Eds and his wife fell into a trance, Riber was also shocked when he saw them.

lying down -

what is happening?

In Riber's heart, the Eds have always been "safe".As the adoptive parents of a heroine, they don't exude any gleam of light, and they don't even have a level of utility. Is there anyone more reassuring than them?

But...but it's the Ed couple like this, no, to be precise, it's Fern, who actually shines!

what happened?What happened during the time I went to the holy city?
