Two hundred and fifty one. Engagement

[The Viscount slept very late as usual. Knock knock knock—The peaceful night was broken by a knock on the door. The Viscount raised his head and looked at the figure who appeared behind the door holding a candle. "Why don't you go to bed at this time!"

"He frowned and shouted coldly.]

["Why do you want servants to spy on me." Sara, who was usually in awe of her father, took a deep breath and looked directly at her father who looked much older than during the day.]

[Feeling that his daughter was different from usual, the Viscount fell silent slightly and put down the account book in his hand: "If you didn't do this, you would have run away with that poor boy."]

[The father's answer confirmed Sara's suspicion. The pain of being betrayed by a good friend made Sara sneer: "A father actually spies on his daughter..."]

[The Viscount sighed and said to his daughter seriously: "Count Fran is not something that a nobleman like me who only has a small fief can reach. He agreed to the marriage entirely because of the contract between his fathers. The power of the Count can completely protect our family for dozens of years."

Year... What do you think they would do if they knew you were out meeting a man? Our family might be destroyed! For the sake of the family, for your father...]

[Sara interrupted her father with a sneer: "The so-called nobility means sacrificing the happiness of his children?"]

["Sacrificing happiness?" The Viscount's daughter's sharp attitude made the Viscount angry. He unconsciously raised his voice, "You know how hard-won your life is now! How many people in this town don't even have enough to eat every day?

There is no hope in sight! Your piece of jewelry is their salary for several months, and everything you enjoy is earned by your ancestors!]

[Sarah tilted her head and looked at her father who had lost his bearings, and suddenly asked: "Do you love my mother?"]

[The Viscount's expression paused at this moment, and he said slowly: "Love is just the product of a young man's head. Maybe now you will think that I am exchanging my daughter for benefits, but in the future you will understand the meaning of what I do."]

["So you are already old!" Sara raised her snow-white neck, as proud as a swan. 】

[The Viscount's daughter's attitude reminded him of something, which seemed to be from the past. His tone gradually calmed down, but his words were undeniable and tough: "You are not allowed to leave the room for these two days. I will hold a banquet to invite the Count and his little one the day after tomorrow.

Son, you will be engaged at that time, please go back and rest."]

[Sarah took a deep look at her father and turned to leave the house owner’s room. Sara, wearing a white dress, was wandering in the corridor like a ghost. Unknowingly, she came to the room of the maid Irene.

.]

[Through the thin door, she seemed to hear the gentle breathing behind the door.]



It's raining continuously, and the sudden drop in temperature today has made pedestrians on the street wear an extra layer of outerwear.

The warm and bright baron's mansion and the outside world seemed to be two different worlds. The baron and the exorcists were sitting at the long table in the dining room.

"I'm afraid you can only eat such fresh caviar in Belfast." Petra pursed her lips and couldn't help but admired it.

Baron Joseph nodded and chuckled, his eyes fell on the first place on his right hand, and he said softly: "Is there anything you are dissatisfied with?"

"No, thank you for the hospitality."

Lu Li picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth and looked at the clock.

6:40, half an hour before "Sara" wakes up.

"If you like, I can prepare it for you every day." The baron pointed out.

Petra suddenly felt that the caviar in the spoon had lost its flavor.

"Let's talk about it later."

This kind of unscrupulous nutritional supplementation will not last long. Maybe after it is over, the baron can send the daily food to the detective agency?

After the baron finished breakfast, he left with the head maid to change clothes. Petra and the others discussed the possible plot that might happen today, and then went to the bedroom with the housekeeper.

The Baron still covered up her dull complexion and freckles to prevent the story from taking her away from the mansion.

At 7:10, the obscure ancient sound did not sound on time.

The people in Petra exchanged glances. Maybe there are new changes in the plot?

After a long wait, when the hands of the clock approached eight o'clock, the obscure ancient voice finally sounded.

[Chapter 6 Determination]

[Sara woke up deeply, sleepiness rushing towards her like a tide. After being in a daze for a while, Sara seemed to remember who she was. "Miss, you got up late today." Maid Irene said with a chuckle. But Sara

La did not chat with Irene in a cat-like lazy voice as usual.]

["What's wrong, Miss? Are you having a nightmare?" Maid Eileen asked in confusion. 】

"Miss, you got up late today. What's wrong? Miss, did you have a nightmare?" the baron said calmly.

["Nothing." Sara shook her head and said, seeming to be the same as before, "When did Adam tell you he came?" "Just in the morning." The maid Irene opened the closet and said to Sara, "Big

What do you want to wear today, miss?” “That blue pleated skirt,” Sarah replied.]

The baron opened his wardrobe, hesitated for a moment among the dazzling array of gorgeous dresses, and with great difficulty selected a sky blue pleated dress that he disliked the most.

Lu Li waited for the male servants to leave temporarily, and came in after a while. Sarah had already changed into the dress. This dress was no different from the top she wore. It was still pitch black that could not reflect any color.

Perhaps because Adam was about to arrive, nervousness filled Sarabi's heart. Sarabi was usually silent, which was specifically reflected in the fact that there were only a few sentences in the obscure ancient voice.

[The servant Lu Li hurried over and told Sarah that Adam was here.]

After a while, the plot of this chapter officially begins.

This has nothing to do with the four servants, whose tasks are to clean the bedroom and trim the non-existent potted plants. Only the Baron, as a personal maid, accompanied Sarah to the reception room.

This departure took a long time. Near noon, the Baron and "Sarah" returned. The latter went to attend etiquette lessons, and the Baron told what happened when the obscure ancient voice no longer paid attention to them.

Just as David had guessed, the viscount of the aristocratic class would certainly not allow his daughter to be with a poor boy, even if Adam's father was a small businessman.

The expected quarrel did not occur. The Viscount talked a lot with Adam like an elder. He calmly told Adam that he and Sarah were not suitable. Sarah could not adapt to the life of ordinary people. The good impression between the two was

It is based on some illusions, but the reality is cruel.

This was undoubtedly more deadly than asking the servants to drive Adam out, but soon Sarah arrived and argued with her father.

The viscount asked the housekeeper to take Sarah away, and before Sarah left, he told Adam that Sarah was engaged to the count's youngest son and would hold a dinner party tomorrow night.

The final result was that Adam took the gifts he carefully prepared and left the manor in despair.

The story doesn't end here.
