I took Chai Anping to experience a real aristocratic wardrobe. When Chai Anping appeared in front of the doorman again, he was already looking noble.
The high-grade satin with gold pattern on black background is cut just right, making Chai Anping's figure appear slender and elegant. The golden epaulettes are decorated with a few strands of silk thread, there are two rows of bright buttons on the chest, and the pleated collar is luxurious and complicated. He really looks like a handsome man.
A truly aristocratic gentleman.
The clothes that would satisfy Lux wouldn't be that bad in the first place.
"This collar is really awkward."
"Don't be ridiculous...it will be too late if it breaks down later." Lux gave him an angry blow and drove him into the carriage.
When they got off the carriage again, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of the Crownguard's mansion.
The old servant who had been waiting here for a long time immediately came over to greet him respectfully. She was still quietly looking at Chai Anping, who looked like a dog from the corner of her eye. She had already heard about this famous inspector.
This is not the first time Chai Anping has come to the Crown Guard Mansion. The last time he asked to see Galen was because of the mage's attack on the palace, and he was able to get in under the name of his cheap father.
This time it was amazing - the Generalissimo personally invited me.
The sky had completely darkened, and the bright lights in the manor had already been turned on. The group walked through several corridors and arrived at their destination.
A small pavilion in the middle of an artificial lake.
There are white curtains hanging on all sides of the small pavilion, and several lamps are lit on the pillars. Tiana is sitting on the main seat wearing ordinary clothes, drinking sake.
"Well, here we come." She raised her head and smiled at Lux and Chai Anping: "Please sit down quickly."
The servant followed her wave and immediately bowed his head and retreated.
"There are not many Crownguards in the capital now, so I have to come to see you, Inspector Shelley." She poured a glass of wine for Chai Anping: "Don't be nervous, it's just in my capacity as Aunt Lux.
"
"Marshal, just call me Gracie."
This is the first time Chai Anping has seen this big shot. She has always inherited the heroic image of women in the Crown Guard family. Even though she is over thirty or forty years old, her pair of willow eyebrows are still extremely powerful, and her face even looks very young.
"Okay, Gracie." She teased, "You have stirred up a lot of trouble in the capital recently."
"Where, where."
Tiana's gentle attitude made both of them sigh in relief.
In fact, this is because the amount of intelligence among the three parties is not equal.
Lux and Chai Anping knew a lot of inside information because of Rodney's help, but Tiana was deceived and still thought she was still in control of the situation. I have to say that Rodney was really worried about Lux's emotional problems.
Heartbroken.
Tiana asked a few questions about Chai Anping's situation, but she didn't show any dissatisfaction.
"By the way, Lux, why don't you dress like this at home?" She frowned: "Go back and change clothes quickly, so as not to make people laugh."
"……yes."
Lux squeezed Chai Anping under the table and quickly walked out of the pavilion.
Sure enough, Aunt Tiana still wanted a chance to talk to Chai Anping alone. Lux, who knew her aunt was terrifying, was sweating while trotting.
"Gracie, I don't like to beat around the bush." Tiana's smile faded: "You two are really good at this trick of breaking the boat. But this little girl Lux thinks she can hide it from me, but she doesn't know that she actually passed it.
I found out about this when I bought tickets for the arena."
She stared at Chai Anping's face with slightly narrowed eyes: "What I didn't expect was that you, a young man from the countryside, had extraordinary skills. You could touch Lux's heart so quickly and make her willing to make such a sacrifice for you.
"
Chai Anping suppressed the shock in his heart and said calmly: "Your Highness and I are sincere. It is not a sacrifice or any tricks."
"I know that if she doesn't want to, she will always find some way to resist you." Tiana waved her hand: "Of course it's just some small tricks, even this time."
"I already know you a little bit, so I didn't stop her stupid and childish behavior. Others thought I was holding back my anger, so I didn't even dare to breathe..." Tiana laughed: "But I think you can
Understand what I mean."
Chai Anping couldn't help but blinked when he heard this, Marshal...you seem to be a little satisfied with me?
"The marshal values you!" He immediately bowed and saluted.
"No need to be polite, you are a young man I like." Tiana continued: "I didn't stop you, which means that I actually support your young people's relationship, but I want to ask you a few questions here.
Answer truthfully."
"Excuse me, Marshal." Ren Chai Anping couldn't have imagined that the banquet in the evening would turn out to be such a gentle scene, which basically made all the rhetoric he prepared all the way invalid. Could it be that Tiana is his good aunt?!
The unknown floating flowers in the artificial lake blew in the fragrance, and the white curtains were caressing. Everything seemed...beautiful.
"Why does William Raphael take such good care of you?"
"Well……"
Chai Anping was startled when he heard this. He didn't even know what was going on!
"This...Sir William has never told me, but it seems that he wants to accept me as his disciple. On her granddaughter's birthday, she also kindly invited me to celebrate with her."
"Oh——?" Tiana teased and snorted: "Nina little girl... Then he really values you very much."
She invited Chai Anping to take a sip of wine, and then said: "I heard that Simmons, who is about to take office as the director of the fourth part of the Demon Searchers, also has a close relationship with you?"
"This..." Chai Anping narrowed his eyes, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
He smiled slightly shyly and said: "No, it just happened to save his life, it's nothing... But you said he is about to be a minister. Isn't he just a squad leader?"
I happened to have saved a life...saved a life...
Tiana looked at him deeply, Chai Anping smiled innocently and took a sip of wine.
"Nothing, drink slowly Gracie, the food will be served soon." Tiana laughed inexplicably: "Otherwise, if Lux comes over and finds you drunk, you should blame me."
"I'm so happy that the marshal values me so much!"
"Don't be happy too early." Tiana poured half a cup for him: "Although it sounds like nonsense, I still have to ask you once, do you really like Lux?"
"certainly!"
"Okay, then do you think your current status is worthy of her?" Tiana put down the wine bottle: "With a picked-up Viscount status?"
"Uh... of course not." Chai Anping shook his head.
"You have to be young if you want to climb higher, Gracie." She pointedly asked: "What do you think of joining the army?"
"If it's for Lux, I won't hesitate!"
When Chai Anping heard this, not only was he not angry, but he was filled with ecstasy - Tiana clearly meant to support him!
"Very good." Tiana nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, don't miss this Northern War. You have won applause from the city through the Glory Competition, so don't continue this kind of playful duel and go to the battlefield to accumulate experience.
Make your own contribution!"
"What do you mean..." Chai Anping frowned slightly.
"I'll give you the opportunity to go to the North and use the reward for killing a murderer to join the army. Otherwise, even if you kill ten murderers slowly like this, you won't be able to get the title of earl." Tiana
Explained: "If you want to become an earl, you must have meritorious service on the battlefield!"
this……
Chai Anping is stupid. If he is not moved by Tiana's proposal, he is stupid and has no brains... The elders have paved the way for you to go, and you still refuse?
only--
"Marshal, I 100% agree with your opinion, but I... I'm afraid I can't accept it." After thinking about it, he sighed helplessly: "I promised Lux to win the championship of this glory competition."
"Hmm?!" Tiana suddenly raised her eyebrows: "Don't you even know what's more important?"
"No, Marshal, I know very well." He smiled slightly: "For me, the most important thing is not merit or glory, but Lux's love. How could I put the cart before the horse and let her down?"
"It's unbelievable." Tiana was stunned for a moment and then sighed: "This is the most frank sentence you have said here at night."
