Lord Highlander

   Chapter 622 611. Stay

  The magic caravan has been parked by the roadside at the gate of the manor, and Earl Gophero has no intention of inviting Suldak into the manor.

  Suldak could only jump off the magic caravan and step on the snow on the side of the street.

  He held the door of the magic caravan with one hand, faced Earl Gophero in the car, and finally fought for: "...give me some time, I may be able to do it!"

  Count Gophero ignored him at all, stretched out his hand to close the door with a gloomy look, and ordered the coachman to move forward.

Seeing Suldak trying to catch up, the guards on both sides of the carriage did not dare to stop him, so he opened the window and said to Suldak on the side of the road: "Tris is eighteen years old, she is not May have been waiting for you..."

  Suldak took two steps forward, chasing the magic caravan while walking and said: "I came here with absolute sincerity this time, no matter what, please think carefully..."

  Even though Suldak said so, Earl Gophero did not turn his head.

  The carriage drove into the ancient manor, and the manor guards quickly closed the big iron gate.

  Seeing the big iron gate closed tightly in front of his eyes, Suldak sighed.

  He stood on the side of the road with a disappointed face, watching the silver magic caravan disappear on the vestibule avenue of the dilapidated manor.

  To be honest, he was a little frustrated, but he came here full of enthusiasm. In the end, only the cold eyes of Earl Gophero and the tightly closed door came in exchange.

  The north wind blew a fine snowflake off the fence, and the guards at the gate tightened their collars.

  The guard stood in front of the gate, glanced at Surdak, waved to him, and signaled him to leave quickly.

  …

  Suldak came to a high-end restaurant that he had agreed with Hathaway and Beatrice.

   Reported his name to the waiter at the door of the restaurant, and the waiter took him up to the second floor.

  The restaurant on the second floor was very quiet, and not many nobles came to eat at this time.

   Hathaway and Beatrice were waiting on a window seat on the second floor, talking and laughing as they watched the snowy scenery outside the window.

   Seeing Suldak coming with the waiter, Hathaway and Beatrice stood up at the same time, looking at Suldak expectantly.

  Hathaway couldn't wait to ask Suldak: "How is your talk with Earl Gophero?"

  Surdak sat across from the two women, calmly drank the water in the glass, then pointed to Beatrice's plate and said to the waiter: "Give me this too..."

   The waiter saluted and left.

  Suldak did not say that the visit to chat with Earl Gophero was a failure.

He stared at Beatrice, his pale brown eyes were like a magnificent amber under the reflection of the sun, with a faint smile on his face, and said to Beatrice in a relaxed tone: " Maybe Earl Gophero doesn't know me well yet, he doesn't think I'm a good lord, so I don't get Earl Gophero's approval."

   Beatrice leaned back on her seat, with a look of disappointment in her eyes of "as expected".

  Hathaway quickly held her girlfriend's cold hand tightly, trying to give her some comfort.

Suldak leaned forward, put his hands on the hands of the two women, and sincerely said to the bewildered Beatrice: "I think it is my responsibility, after all, I am a remote seafarer. The little nobleman in Lanza City is not well-known in Bena City, and Earl Gophero doesn’t know me well. Maybe I need some time to increase my popularity in Bena City, so that maybe everyone can change everyone’s opinion of me .”

He said to Hathaway and Beatrice with some self-deprecation: "I am afraid that people who know me now will think that I am an extremely lucky guy. I was able to be appreciated by the Marquess Luther and marry his favorite daughter."

   Hathaway glanced at Suldak, and the message in her eyes was clearly: 'Just know! '

   "I want to attend some aristocratic gatherings recently, and I also want to make some young noble friends to expand my social circle." Suldak said to Hathaway.

   "You mean...you plan to live in Bena City for a while?" Hathaway asked excitedly.

   "I plan to stay and fight for it again. I hope Earl Gophero can change his mind." Suldak nodded and said.

  At this time, he couldn't help but think in his heart: Aphrodite might go crazy knowing that the time to return to Hailansa City will be delayed.

  Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his face...

  Looking at the delicious steak in front of her, Beatrice couldn't take a bite.

"Don't worry about this anymore. Didn't we agree? In the worst case, we will elope and I will accompany you. Earl Gophero will definitely not come to my house to look for you. If I am here, he will never even think about taking you away!" Hai Sylvie said.

  As a good sister, Hathaway didn't worry about this at all. She kept Beatrice by her side, and she wasn't ready to let her go home at all.

  The relationship between the Gophero family and the Luthor family is currently very delicate. They were originally old families in the Bena province.

Strictly speaking, the Gopher family may be older than the Luther family. The two families have been married and supported each other for so many years, until the generation of Beatrice's father, Earl Gopher. The Luo family has declined to the point of losing the honorable status of Marquis, and Earl Gophero did some wrong things when he was young, and the accumulated favors have been exhausted, and because of the competition for the plane mine, he and Luther Marquis The relationship was very tense.

   Therefore, Hathaway concluded that Earl Gophero would not easily go to the Marquis Luthor's mansion to be an important person.

  Marquis Luther's previous arrangements for Hathaway made Hathaway and Beatrice almost sympathetic to each other. The two had already discussed that they would never surrender to the family, and at worst they would flee from the city of Bena.

Originally, both of them planned to elope, but now the Marquis Luther's arrangement is exactly what Hathaway thought in her heart, so she no longer needs to elope to pursue her love. Now only Beatrice is left, the two People are likely to take two completely different paths in the future...

   Beatrice took a peek at Suldak, seeing that there were no worries in his eyes, and she felt a little more at ease.

  ‘In the future...we will probably live in Hailansa City! ’ Beatrice, with a cheerful personality, comforted herself in her heart.

  …

The magic caravan stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Suldak pretended not to understand the hint that Hathaway was going to sit in the hotel room, opened the door and jumped off the magic caravan, and then met Hathaway and Bea in the car. Triss waved goodbye, watched the magic caravan merge into the traffic on the street, and then turned and walked into the hotel.

   This hotel is located on the edge of the aristocratic neighborhood of Bena City, only two streets away from the Marquis Luther's Mansion.

  There is a red copper notice board at the entrance of the hotel, with a line clearly written on it: 'Only welcome nobles! '

Suldak walked up the steps, and the waiter at the door quickly opened the door for Suldak. The hotel didn't look too big from the outside, and the whole building was almost closely connected with the buildings facing the street on the left and right. Each building is completely independent.

  The interior of the hotel is very luxuriously decorated. The mahogany stairs and the anti-collision corners of the walls are covered with gold and silver patterns. Surdak climbed up to the second floor along the spiral staircase.

  A fair-skinned young noble came down the stairs.

  Holding the Western rapier on his waist, he was wearing an exquisite gown. He could tell at a glance that he was a nobleman who was usually pampered. When he passed by Suldak, he just glanced at him lightly.

The nobleman walked to the booth in the hall and got together with another young nobleman waiting in the hall. He saw that young nobleman staring at Suldak's back until Suldak was standing on the stairs. The mouth disappeared, and he asked curiously: "Harvey, what are you looking at? Is it your acquaintance?"

  His Imperial language rises at the end of every sentence, and the accent sounds very different from that of the Bena province.

   At this time, the young nobleman named Harvey curled his lips, with a sour taste in his tone, and sighed, "A country bumpkin who got lucky!"

Your son's eyes lit up, and the moment they opened wide, they turned out to be as weird as a green opal. His eyes were full of curiosity about Suldak, and he said quickly: "Sometimes, we I have to admit that 'luck is also a kind of strength', hey, Harvey, do you want to go up and get to know him?"

  Harvey's smile was a bit cold, and then he said, "Forget it, I'm not interested."

   "What? Did you have a feud with him?" Your son looked at Harvey and asked curiously.

   "In the entire city of Bena, all the young nobles who want to win Hathaway Luthor's heart have a problem with him, and I am just the most insignificant one of them!" Harvey said self-deprecatingly.

   "Marquis Luther's daughter Hathaway...I've heard of her!" the nobleman squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

   After finishing speaking, he habitually licked his lower lip with his scarlet tongue.

  The young aristocrat Harvey seemed unwilling to talk about it, so he asked the noble son: "Jack, which property of the family do you want to see today, my father asked me to accompany you all the way..."

  …

  Aphrodite in the room woke up, saw Suldak, and heard that he wanted to live in Bena City for a while, and almost collapsed.

   "You mean I'm going to live here for a while?"

  Aphrodite lifted off the soft snow-white quilt, stood directly in the center of the big bed, and looked at Suldak in disbelief.

Pointing to the street outside the window, the succubus protested to Suldak: "Don't you think that the streets of Bena City are full of demon hunters? There are even magicians in those adventure groups and mercenary groups. Because of that incident, I don’t even dare to go out on the street these days, I don’t want to live anymore, I want to go back to Hailansa!”

   After finishing speaking, she jumped out of bed with bare feet, a pair of long straight legs were directly exposed under the hip-length nightgown, she put the long cashmere dress on the hanger, and sat in front of the dressing table, arranging her hair angrily.

   "Aphrodite, I need your help."

  Suldak put his hands on the succubus' shoulders and said sincerely.

  Aphrodite bit her lip. She waited for Suldak angrily, and said, "...stay here for another month at most, no more!"

   "One month should be enough, no matter what the result is, we will go back to Wall Village!" Suldak said firmly.

   Seeing what Suldak said, Aphrodite asked curiously, "But...what are you going to do?"

  Suldak didn't hide the plan with Aphrodite, and said to her: "I want to go to the Thieves Guild to inquire about the Gophero family."
