Tome of Blood

Chapter 11 -11- Invitation from the Duke's House

Charlotte felt really busy.

Like the boss who hasn't been to the company for a long time, one by one, everyone lined up to see her.

However, it seems to be popular, but none of them really only care about her, they are all for other purposes.

but……

The Polder family?

Duke's house?

Charlotte's heart twitched slightly.

The Boulder family is the lord family of the Boulder Duchy, and is also the object of the Castel family's allegiance.

By the way, both parties are related.

First of all, the ancestors of the Castle family were separated from the Bold family, which can be regarded as a side branch of Bold.

Secondly, Lady Catherine, the second wife of the former Duke of Bold, is Charlotte's aunt.

In terms of seniority, Charlotte is still of the same generation as the current Duke.

Hmm... Although the difference in age between the two is actually dozens of years.

In the vague memories that Charlotte inherited, most of the few previous experiences of leaving Castel Manor were to visit her aunt in the Duke's mansion.

Only, Lady Catherine has been dead for many years.

And the predecessor has not left the manor for ten years.

Charlotte thought of the nobles who had been kicked out by the female knight before.

If I remember correctly, they seem to claim to represent the Duke's Mansion...

Could it be... that's them?

Charlotte thought about it.

Secretly thinking that she was really hot, she nodded slightly, and said obediently:

"Please come in!"

The door was pushed open again, and several richly dressed nobles entered the ward.

Not beyond Charlotte's expectation, it was the group of people who were kicked out by Captain Kara before.

"Miss Charlotte, we meet again. We haven't seen each other for many years. You are getting more and more beautiful."

The leading fat nobleman smiled kindly and performed a standard noble etiquette.

Then, his expression became solemn again, like a Sichuan opera changing face, becoming sad and heavy:

"The Duke's Palace already knows what happened last night. His Excellency the Duke is deeply saddened and even more angry about what happened to the Castel family."

"This morning, His Excellency the Duke has urged the Demon Hunting Office to thoroughly investigate this matter, and vowed to dig out all the blood-born ghosts of Boulder and catch them all!"

"Please rest assured, no matter what happens, the Polder family will always be the strongest backing of the Castel family!"

The fat nobleman was filled with righteous indignation and his expression was sincere.

Charlotte shrank slightly under the quilt, showing a dazed and timid expression.

She tilted her little head, and her big eyes seemed to be filled with question marks:

"May I ask you are……?"

The fat noble's breath stagnates.

But the young noble swordsman behind him couldn't help but chuckle:

"Pfft, Bruno, as I said earlier, ten years have passed, how could the young lady of the Castel family still remember you."

After speaking, the swordsman passed the fat nobleman and came to Charlotte.

He was about to speak, but suddenly he thought of something, and imitated the action of the fat nobleman and performed a noble etiquette.

Charlotte still looks like a vigilant little animal, pretending to be an ignorant and timid little girl.

However, she was quite calm in her heart, and analyzed the other party's identity based on the other party's performance.

Let's not talk about the fat aristocrat headed by it.

His deacon outfit is too conspicuous, he is obviously a housekeeper and deacon of the Duke's mansion, and he may have a viscount or baron title on him.

What makes Charlotte curious is the swordsman.

Judging by the memory inherited by Charlotte, the swordsman's movements are quite substandard, but it can be seen that the opponent has tried his best.

This should be a person who has just become a nobleman, or a powerful transcendent.

Chatting with Dean Raoul gave Charlotte a better understanding of the nobles in this world.

In the world of Myria, the nobles almost monopolize the extraordinary power. It is normal for wild extraordinary people to be recruited by the nobles, and some people can even directly become upstarts with titles.

However, looking at the obviously high-end and gorgeous clothing on the other party, especially the lion logo of the Boulder family painted on the right chest that only direct members can wear, Charlotte further revised her judgment:

This is an upstart who has not long been recognized by the Bold family and has obtained the status of a direct member.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Charlotte, I'm Lionel Poulder."

The noble swordsman said.

"Cough cough cough...cough cough cough..."

The fat noble beside him coughed desperately to wink.

The swordsman froze for a moment, then reacted instantly, scratched his head, and said in embarrassment:

"Er...Leno de Porte..."

"De" is a common epithet in the names of nobles in the New Moon Kingdom. Usually, the surnames that follow it are also territories, meaning "belongs to" or "comes from", which is a sign of nobility.

For example, Charlotte herself, Charlotte de Castells, in a colloquial sense means "Charlotte from Castells".

In the New Moon Kingdom, the best way to judge the status of an aristocrat is to see whether there is "virtue" between the first name and the last name when the other party announces their name.

Obviously, this newcomer to the Bold family has not yet gotten used to his aristocratic status.

This time when he re-registered, he was so nervous that he even mispronounced the last name of "Polder".

The fat aristocrat is going crazy.

As if wearing a mask of pain, he covered his face instantly, and reminded in a low voice in despair:

"It's Polder..."

Swordsman: ...

The young nobleman's expression froze, and then his face turned red.

His expression changed a bit, and then he cursed like a broken jar:

"Damn! Nobles are troublesome, fuck Boulder!"

The fat nobleman's eyes widened, he held his head for an instant, and almost fainted.

However, the young swordsman doesn't care anymore:

"Okay, Bruno, stop staring at me with your small eyes, no matter how big you stare, it's still small!"

"Don't teach me any more, I don't care if the old man is here today."

"I've said it many times. If you're not used to it, you're not used to it. There are too many rules at home, so you're more comfortable being a mercenary!"

After all, he looked at Charlotte again, and said quickly:

"Miss Charlotte, let me introduce myself again, I'm Leno."

"As you can see, I used to be a free mercenary. I just returned to the Bold family not long ago. I am not familiar with anything. Please bear with me if I offend you."

"I came here this time not only to visit, but also to send an invitation letter for the old man."

Abandoning the reservedness of the nobility, the young swordsman completely let go of himself, and finally relaxed.

He took out an invitation letter wrapped in golden silk from his arms, and subconsciously threw it to Charlotte.

But after noticing her wrapped hands and feet, the swordsman quickly stopped his movements, and gently placed the invitation letter in front of her:

"Half a month later it will be the old man's birthday. A birthday dinner will be held at the Duke's Mansion. All the lower-ranking nobles will be invited, and other lords from some kingdoms will also be present."

"Damn! Honestly, I think I'm crazy to send birthday invitations now! After all, it happened yesterday, and now is not a good time..."

"But the old man asked me to send it. He said that this matter is very important to the future of the Castel family, especially after the accident at Castel Manor."

"Miss Charlotte, I know you are very sad, painful, and scared now... However, people always have to look forward."

"There is a saying among mercenaries: life is the most fucked adventure, only the most determined bastards can return home with beauties and treasures in their arms while shouting son of a bitch."

"You are not only yourself, but also represent the Castel family, please be strong."

"Okay, I...cough, I've finished my words, and the invitation letter has been delivered, so I won't bother you any more."

"I wish you a speedy recovery! Goodbye!"

The young swordsman named Leno quickly finished speaking without even taking a breath, then turned and left.

Charlotte, Lottie and the fat noble were all stunned.

However, just before he was about to leave, Leno stopped again, turned his head and looked at Charlotte carefully, pondered for a moment and said:

"Miss Charlotte..."

"You are very beautiful and cute, just like in the legend, you are more beautiful and moving than any girl of any race I have ever seen. I think you will be the best in the future."

"It's my honor to see the beauties of the Castel family. In the past, I would have been bragging to my companions for several years!"

"However, because of this, please be more vigilant..."

"Born with beauty and wealth is a blessing from the gods, but it is also a curse."

"Especially when there is not enough strength to match it..."

"They bring not only good, but also disaster."

"Some things, when it's time to give up, you must give up in time!"

After all, Leno no longer explained too much, but opened the door and left gracefully.

The fat nobleman froze for a moment, saluted Charlotte apologetically, then turned around and trotted after him:

"Ouch! Lord Leno, wait for me! Wait for me!"

The two came and went quickly.

In a blink of an eye, only Charlotte and Lottie were left.

Looking at Charlotte who was lost in thought, Lottie was full of apologies:

"I'm sorry...Miss Charlotte, I didn't expect him to be so rude...I shouldn't have let him in, did I frighten you?"

Saying that, the beautiful Priestess shook her head again, frowned and said:

"An illegitimate child is an illegitimate child. He has no aristocratic cultivation at all. It really disgraces the Duke of Bold!"

The illegitimate son of the Duke's family...

Charlotte looked thoughtfully at the Duke's invitation letter in front of her.

Newcomers and new books ask for a monthly pass and ask for follow-up reading! At the seedling stage, if you can chase it, try not to raise it.

Plus, the book is single! There may also be some emotional scenes in the future, but it is not the protagonist. The protagonist will at most become a fan-headed fun person who kowtows on CP... the kind that watching the excitement is not a big deal
