After being scolded, Ilkand also realized that his behavior just now was a bit impulsive. He snorted and loosened the collar of the housekeeper.
The latter didn't really care. He took half a step back and said without changing his expression, "Bria, take Sir Ilkander to change into a dress. The dinner is about to start."
The maid whose name was called ran over and led Ilkander to change into his knight's armor.
The housekeeper directed others to start setting the table.
As the richest noble in the West, the tablecloths of the Emmanuel family are all made of silk, with gold threads on the four corners. They look quite gorgeous, but the most eye-catching thing is the one placed in the center of the dining table.
That candlestick.
The candlestick is about half a meter high, made of pure gold, and has gems embedded on the top, which can reflect the light of the candle even more brilliantly.
However, Miss Rabbit compared it with the one on her brooch and found that these gemstones were far inferior to the one Li Yu gave her in terms of size, color, and cutting skills.
Moreover, Li Yu also said that as long as she keeps it and does not sell it, she can receive one every year. Thinking of this, the female lord suddenly felt much more balanced.
Given the long lifespan of an orc, as long as she lived normally, there would be no problem in collecting two to three hundred pills from Li Yu.
The girl is thinking about how to use so many gems. Well, she already has the brooch. She can get a few more necklaces and rings. It would be best to wear them on all ten hands, but this seems a bit too exaggerated.
...hehehehe.
The female lord became happier and happier as she thought about it, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. The next moment, a voice came to her ears.
"Sir Ilea, I'm telling you a joke."
The person who spoke was the same person who had previously scolded Ilkand and came to the rescue of the housekeeper.
He is also the eldest and steady one among the three, and is always polite and courteous.
"No, I'm not laughing at you, don't get me wrong." Miss Rabbit came to her senses and immediately launched a series of denials.
After a pause, he added, "I just suddenly remembered something to be happy about... You don't need to worry about me and Merlin. That guy named Ilkander is right. We are just outsiders and will not get involved with Iman."
Get involved in the Newer family’s affairs.”
The visitor sighed, "Well, no matter what, I have to apologize to you and Prophet Merlin for my brother's rude words before. He is not a bad-hearted person, but he has been very reckless since he was a child and sometimes speaks carelessly.
, not intentionally targeting anyone.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with me here, but it was really inappropriate for him to attack the housekeeper earlier."
"Oh, that's true. Miss Galin has served the family for more than ten years, and my father has always trusted her and regarded her as his right-hand man. He even taught her how to handle government affairs... None of our three brothers have ever experienced such treatment.
.
"Ilkander may be a little jealous of her because of this, but the main reason is that since his father was injured in a sneak attack by that hateful black dragon, he has been staying in Black Rock City to recuperate. In addition to Miss Galin, there are four maids responsible for serving him.
, no one saw him again.
"The three of us brothers have asked to see my father several times but have been rejected. We are inevitably worried."
"This is human nature."
"It would be best if you could understand. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Halman Galin, the eldest son of Theodosius. She said that Sir Ilea, you and the prophet Merlin were both invited by my father.
I wonder if you have met my father?"
"No." Miss Rabbit shook her head, "We only met Miss Galin, but don't worry, what we are here to discuss has nothing to do with you three brothers."
"Really?" Harman was doubtful after hearing this, but said nothing more because by this time Ilkand had already finished changing his clothes and came out.
On the other side, the housekeeper also asked people to clear the table.
Everyone took their seats one by one, with only the seat at the top left empty. As soon as he sat down, Ilkand started shouting, "Where's my father, didn't you say that my father would show up when the dinner started? Why didn't you see him?"
"
"I remember what I said before was that you would see your father at the dinner. I didn't say that Lord Theodosius would show up immediately as soon as the dinner started." The housekeeper said without being humble or overbearing.
"Word-playing guy!" Ilkand muttered.
And this time, even another young man who had been relatively silent before couldn't help but say, "Miss Galin, why do you have to drag us? Our request is very simple from beginning to end, just to see you.
Father."
"I understand and can fully understand your eagerness to see Lord Theodosius. However, this is Lord Theodosius's order. Lord Rafael, I hope you can understand."
Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Ilkand had already pulled out the saber from his waist and stuck it on the table.
"Stop talking nonsense to her. Let's just go upstairs and search this place. We will definitely find my father. This mansion belongs to the Emmanuel family. I want to see who dares to stop the three of us here."
"This..." Harman hesitated.
Rafael had already stood up.
At this moment, the housekeeper's voice sounded again, "From now on, anyone who leaves this table will automatically lose their inheritance rights."
Rafael hesitated for a moment, and finally sat back down. Halman was even more reluctant to let his butt leave the chair.
Seeing that both brothers had changed their attitudes, Ilkander had no choice but to look at the housekeeper and sneer, "Even if you take out the inheritance rights, fine, I want to see how you plan to end it tonight."
The housekeeper remained unmoved, as if she had not heard Irkander's threat.
She looked around and said, "Since no one wants to leave, the dinner can begin. But before that, there is one small thing. Sir Ilea, Prophet Merlin, and Lord Theodosius asked me to confront each other again.
Thank you for taking the time to come to the banquet.
"In addition to the iron thorn seeds you asked for before, Lord Theodosius insisted on giving the gifts he had prepared before to both of you."
At first, Miss Rabbit thought the gift the housekeeper meant was money.
I thought that with the astonishing wealth owned by the Emmanuel family, I couldn't be too greedy. I gave them a few gold or more than ten gold and sent them away.
Even if you say less, you have to spend more than a hundred gold.
If you can just run back and forth like this and get one or two hundred gold coins, then the female lord can bring the Emmanuel family to bankruptcy regardless of rain or shine!
However, what disappointed her was that the housekeeper did not ask anyone to drag out the large box filled with gold coins. She only took out a piece of parchment and placed it in front of Li Yu and Ilea with both hands.
