At Ah Fu's invitation, Hei Cha stood beside him. The tall Count Armand stood in the front, as handsome as a sculpture in suppressed all her emotions and observed the situation calmly.
Ah Fu looked at her solemn expression and said, "Eve, Earl Mellis and his men came suddenly. Although I have confidence in you and know that you are a well-prepared person, it is still a day early. Is everything arranged?"
Hei Cha's breathing became heavier. Mellis, this name was among the ten people, which meant that the earl had been replaced by a player.
She felt inexplicably relieved.
Compared to the Horror Cave, Black Tea is more familiar to the players. Of course, it would be easier for her if Melris was Doctor Bai.
But in terms of probability, this possibility is very small.
Black Tea said vaguely: "Everything is the best arrangement."
These words left Ah Fu confused, and his puzzled eyes kept wandering to Hei Cha.
Heicha had no time to pay attention. According to the butler Ah Fu, the person who came today was Count Armand's good friend Count Mellis, and the dinner that the head maid Eve led her subordinates to carefully prepare was also prepared for him.
But what a grand occasion... Heicha looked around and saw four luxurious carriages parked in the lush rose garden.
Four...How many people did this player bring...
A handsome and unrestrained man got out of the first carriage. His unruly black hair hung down between his brows, making his facial features look like a work carefully carved by God.
Strangely enough, his skin was a sickly pale color, while his eyes were like rich rubies.
A man with a very handsome appearance, one glance at him will remind people of the dark red moon.
It must be Melris, Hei Cha looked at her and was concerned about who was inside this beautiful appearance.
Speaking of which, because of his illness and abilities, Dr. Bai's skin is abnormally pale. Could this Melris really be Dr. Bai?
Mellis extended his hand gracefully and very gentlemanly let the lady in the carriage take his hand and slowly walk down.
A dazzling lady, her whole body exuding a noble aura, her eyes were even unwilling to look at the gravel road.
"Armand, no matter how many times I suggest it, you won't accept my advice? The gravel road will make the carriage bumpy."
Ah Fu awkwardly glanced at the sand-like pebbles on the ground. He had spent a lot of money to get them back at the request of his master. They would only feel soft when he stepped on them with his bare feet. How could they cause the carriage to shake?
Armand said calmly, "Christine, you can only visit my house once a month because you follow Melris. Of course, where I live is based on my feelings. There is no need to change it for a guest like you."
Armand emphasized the word "guest", which made Christine angry and she started to blame other things.
"Armand, you know you should call me Mrs. Mellis now." Christine said, and pride gradually appeared on her face, as if it was a proud thing for her to get rid of her own name and completely become a vassal of a man.
Armand raised his eyelids and glanced at Christine indifferently. His almost gray pupils were indifferent and ruthless, which scared Christine so much that she couldn't help but take a small step back.
"Melris!" She looked at the man with black hair and red eyes with some incompetence.
Hei Cha seemed to be enjoying a big show. She wanted to know how Mellis would respond.
To be honest, she was initially dissatisfied with the fact that Eve was just a small head maid. After all, the lower the status, the less one can do.
If she had a noble status like the player who played Count Mellis, it wouldn't be so difficult to save Minister Gao.
But now she understood that having a low status had a huge advantage - safety.
There are too many risks to face when you have a high status. For example, Melris, the people who can talk to him are all people of high status like Armand and Christine. Even if he does not do a small detail right, the risk of being exposed will increase greatly.
Melris had a similar expression to Armand and glanced at Christine indifferently.
"If you don't want to attend this dinner, you can get in the carriage and go back now."
Christine immediately stopped talking. Although she had not been married to Melris for a long time, she had spent a lot of time studying Melris long before they got married.
Ever since she could remember, her family had given her this mission. It could be said that she existed just to marry Mellis.
The most common way to use the power of powerful new nobles like Melris to save the impoverished old nobles is marriage.
Her family spent a lot of effort to train her into the "qualified lady" she is today. She defeated countless competitors and finally completed this mission.
She knew Melris as well as his best friend Armand.
So she knew clearly that Mellis was angry now.
When the atmosphere became a little awkward, the people in the second carriage slowly got off. They were a pair of sisters who looked somewhat similar. They had pale skin and red eyes similar to Earl Mellis.
The similar appearance reminded Hei Cha of the twins Gan Xing and En Xing, but unfortunately she knew clearly that they did not participate.
Then the third girl got out of the second carriage.
Armand frowned as he looked at her. "Merrith, you brought her here without informing me in advance?"
Hei Cha immediately stared at it intently.
Is there something special about this girl? How will Mellis respond?
Melris looked at the girl with a smile and said, "Leonor, I'm sorry, I made you dislike me again."
The girl called Leonor nodded nonchalantly and walked over to the sisters.
It was as if the two counts were not discussing her.
The smile on Mellis's face deepened, and his cold-blooded red eyes seemed to warm up.
"Armand, Leonor is your fiancée after all."
Armand turned his face away coldly, but when he glanced at the silent Leonor, a hint of doubt flashed in his cold gray pupils.
After not seeing her for a few months, she seemed to have changed a lot... At least now she was not embarrassed by his and Melris's sarcasm.
He still remembered the first time she came to his house, she was even ridiculed by him and burst into tears. She cried without caring about anyone's face and rushed out of the banquet hall with her skirt lifted up.
The heavy rain soaked her to the ground. Through the glass and the rain, he saw her taking her anger out on the rose bush in the front yard, but she got her finger pricked by the thorns of the rose instead. She became even more angry and jumped around without caring about her image.
At that time, he was about to change his boring impression of her, but when she quickly adjusted her mood and appearance and walked back to the banquet hall with elegant steps again, Armand knew that his judgment was correct.
When he received the same education as Christine and all the noble women, he should not have expected anything from the soul beneath this beautiful appearance.
The same old elegance and intelligence, the same old thoughtfulness and understanding.
Each noble lady was sculpted by the same sculptor. (End of this chapter)
