Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 113 Audrey: Follow my lead! Ember: Got it.

"Really."

Xio brought the beautifully wrapped cake from her room and placed it on the table. She then sat down on the sofa with her arms folded, saying unhappily, "I even specially set aside a day to prepare for your birthday. I only booked this cake from the Royal Violet Bakery several months in advance."

Royal Violet Bakery, as the name suggests, is a shop that has obtained the "Royal Certification" from the Loen Royal Family.

Such stores that have been granted royal certification usually have very popular business.

If you want to order a cake from them, you have to order it at least two months in advance. And the price is very expensive, even the middle class can't afford it.

But what Xiou didn't expect was that he had carefully prepared a birthday for Fors months in advance, but what he got in return was betrayal.

"I'm doing this for your own good."

Fors looked at her aggrievedly and said weakly.

Xio did not give her any face and refuted her mercilessly, "People always like to impose their will on others, and finally say: This is all for your own good."

"Is this what Emperor Roselle said?"

Yu Jin, who was sitting aside watching the show, suddenly asked.

"You still said that!"

Fors puffed up his cheeks and muttered, "If it weren't for you, how could things have turned out like this?"

Xio said unhappily, "If it weren't for the embers, you would never have told me in your life. Fors, if you really did that, do you think I would feel at ease?"

“Even if I succeed in becoming Sequence 7, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life!”

“So I know I was wrong!”

"It's no use knowing you're wrong! From tomorrow on, you have to act like a magician seriously!"

"Huh? You don't really want me to go to the circus and perform acrobatics, do you??!"

"That's better than lying at home all day. Your potion won't be digested anyway. Besides, the one doing the acrobatics is a clown, and you're a master of magic. Why don't you just perform magic?"

"But what if it's digested?"

Fors muttered, "After all, we still don't have money, right?"

"About this question."

Yu Jin looked at the two of them with some confusion, "Don't you know how to borrow money?"

"Borrow money?"

Xio and Fors looked at each other and then turned their gazes towards the embers.

"You mean, I want to borrow it from you?"

Fors sat up straight and asked excitedly, "How much can you lend us?"

"It's not impossible."

Yu Jin pondered for two seconds, then nodded slightly.

He's not short of money anyway.

"It's not impossible? Then who were you originally going to talk about?"

Xio frowned slightly and asked in surprise.

"Miss Justice."

Ember said without thinking, "She will provide 'loan' services to members of the Tarot Club."

"justice?"

Fors blinked and asked, "Do you admit that you are lovers?"

"When did I ever deny it?"

Ember asked back.

"What about Miss Justice? Is she Miss Audrey?"

Ember glanced at Xio who was asking the question and said, "I suggest you ask Justice himself about this question."

"Ok."

Quinn didn't hesitate, but after thinking about it, he asked seriously, "How much can Miss Justice borrow?"

"I suggest you ask Justice himself."

Ember repeated it, but added at the end, "But I guess the key to the problem is not how much Miss Justice can borrow, but how much you can borrow."

"..."

Fors opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but wisely chose to remain silent.

If Miss Justice is really Miss Audrey.

Then it seems that she really has no shortage of money.

Even if both of them needed to advance to Sequence 7, the total cost would not exceed 6000 pounds.

For ordinary people, this amount of money is something they can never earn in their entire lifetime.

But for Miss Audrey, this might just be her pocket money for a few months.

"If Miss Justice is willing to lend the money, that would be great."

Xio heaved a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, even though he had to pay back the money he borrowed.

But at least they no longer have to worry about who gets promoted first.

As for the issue of repaying the money.

Once they advance to Sequence 7 and have greater strength, it will naturally become easier to repay the money.

"By the way, Ember, there's something I forgot to tell you."

Fors suddenly spoke, attracting Yu Jin's attention, and asked in a low voice, "Do you still remember Will Auceptin?"

"Who?"

Yu Jin didn't react for a moment.

Fors explained, "Well, it was the little boy who was the patient I met during my first surgery at Backlund Central Hospital."

"He...I..."

Fors sorted out her thoughts and said hesitantly, "I used to dream about him often. He always told me in my dreams that he was dead and asked me not to bother him anymore."

"When?"

Yu Jin was slightly surprised and asked.

"It was probably around the beginning of September."

For thought for a moment and replied.

"Early September?"

Yu Jin tapped the tabletop with his fingers, lost in thought.

At that time, he had just been drawn into the world of painting. Did that mean that as soon as he left, the other party got entangled with Fors?
"Do you remember what day the surgery was?"

Ember pondered for a moment and asked.

"Tuesday, August 8st."

Fors answered immediately without thinking.

It was from that day that he underwent surgery for a whole week to complete the digestion of the potion!
That day was the beginning of the most tiring week in her life.

So, she had a particularly deep impression of this day!

"Where does he live?"

Ember thought about it and then asked.

"I do not know."

Fors shook his head, but Xio immediately replied, "North District, 66 Dalton Street."

"stop?!"

Fors opened his eyes wide, "Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't investigate without permission?"

"I didn't investigate on my own."

There was a sly flash in Xio's eyes, and he said with a smile, "I just found his home address by accident."

"The devil believes you."

Fors puffed up his cheeks and said, “Your words can only fool fools!”
How could it be discovered by accident?

"How long did the dream last? How frequent was it?"

Ember thought about it and then asked.

"It lasted from the beginning of September to September 9, about once a week. Since I recited Mr. Fool's honorific name, I haven't dreamed of him again. Only a few days ago..."

Fors paused for a moment before continuing, "On October 10th, six days ago, last Wednesday, a blood moon appeared at night, and I had to urgently ask Mr. Fool for help."

"But before that, I seemed to vaguely see the shadow of Will Auceptin."

"He wants to hurt you?!"

Xio's expression was a little surprised and angry, "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I'm afraid you'll worry..."

Under Xio's glare, Fors's voice became smaller and smaller.

"I would be worried if you didn't tell me!"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. Am I okay?"

Fors patted Xio's head and comforted him.

"Whatever his purpose may be, I will pay him a visit tomorrow."

Yu Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Try to go out less recently."

Yu Jin always felt that Will Auceptin was seducing him.

If he didn't do anything, I would almost forget his existence.

After all, he didn't seem to be very resilient, and in the era when the gods had not yet fallen, one more person would not be a big difference.

But the other party came to him on his own initiative and told Yu Jin not to come to him.

But in fact, this is just a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt. Isn't this a typical case of playing hard to get?

Since he invited her so enthusiastically, Yu Jin couldn't refuse.

"oh oh."

Fors nodded like a chick pecking at rice and said obediently, "I'll try not to go out. Can you give me Kulala?"

"..."

Yu Jin looked at Fors speechlessly and took out the bell.

"Dingling bell~"

Amid the clear sound of bells, the figures of the Kulala sisters quietly emerged.

"Hey hey hey ~ my Kulala ~ long time no see ~"

Xio opened his collar and let the miniaturized Kularis get in, while Fors just hugged Kularis and started going crazy.

Xio rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "You should at least wait until you finish eating the cake before you go crazy, right?"

This was a cake she had booked a long time in advance and had waited in line for more than two months to buy!
Ember shook his head and didn't disturb them.

Turn around and leave the house.

He can't rest yet because he still has a lot of work to do.

……

Minsk Street 15.

Klein sat at the table, lost in thought.

Just this morning, he visited the Roselle Memorial Exhibition held at the Kingdom Museum. This memorial exhibition was hosted by the Church of Steam and Machinery and exhibited a large number of Emperor Roselle's invention manuscripts and relics.

The reason why he suddenly wanted to visit this memorial exhibition was because he had seen the diary of Roselle presented by the Tarot Club members. Although there were still large sections of grass and green, there were also a small part of it that was extremely valuable.

For example:
"On January 20th, I finished the second Blasphemy card."

"Let me think, let me think, where should I hide it?"

"Well, I plan to disguise it as a bookmark and put it in a very valuable book. If the recipient is not a destined person, it will be difficult for him to imagine that the most valuable thing in the valuable book is actually that inconspicuous bookmark!"

"Yes, this is a good idea!"

Although this passage is not long, it reveals a very important piece of information:

That is, Roselle once disguised a "blasphemous card" as a bookmark and put it in a book.

At today's memorial exhibition, Klein discovered that many books were sandwiched with bookmarks, and these bookmarks were of different shapes. One of these books successfully caught his attention and was his main suspect, the plagiarized, creative manuscript of Emperor Roselle.

But there were too many people at the exhibition during the day.

In order to avoid alerting the Steam Church, Klein did not dare to test them.

But that doesn't mean he will give up.

He had little chance of verifying whether the bookmark was the card of blasphemy, but he was not acting alone.

As his thoughts turned, Klein began to analyze the people he knew who could help him.

Gradually, he simply found an object:
Miss Justice.

Klein exhaled, closed the curtains, rubbed his cheek, and began to pray to himself:

"A fool who does not belong to this age;"

"The mysterious master above the gray fog;"

"The King of Yellow and Black who controls good luck."

"I pray for certain help;"

“Please help me get access to the bookmark in Russell’s creative manuscript;”

"Help me to do small, hard-to-detect damage to it, and tell me what the reaction is. During this time, you can silently recite the Hermetic or Ancient Hermetic words corresponding to the Pirate King."

"Whoever offers to help, even if nothing happens, I will give him £500 as a reward, which will be deducted from the £5000 that has not yet been paid."

“If there is a response, I am willing to give more.”

After doing all this, Klein waited for a moment before entering above the gray fog and saw the light screen showing his own prayer scene.

He had already divined that sneaking into the Kingdom Museum at night to steal bookmarks was risky but not too dangerous.

So the next step is to find someone to help test whether the bookmark is real.

As Klein analyzed, he quickly extracted his prayer information, thickened the mosaic, adjusted his voice to be slightly distorted, and then threw it into the illusory star that symbolized Miss Justice.

"I hope nothing unexpected happens."

Klein thought silently.

It's just some small attempts, there shouldn't be too much risk, right?

At the same time, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall in Queens.

Audrey sat in front of the dressing table, thinking about how to quickly flip through and memorize Roselle's diary without arousing suspicion when she visited the Roselle Memorial Exhibition in the evening.

Suddenly, her surroundings became hazy and endless gray-white mist emerged.

In the center of the gray fog, the figure of The Fool was perched high, listening to the prayers of a man who was so blurry that he could not even see clearly.

And when Audrey heard those words of supplication, she blinked.

After a little hesitation, she decided to accept it. Anyway, she was going to visit the Roselle Memorial Exhibition today.

As for how to do some minor damage...

Audrey thought, her eyes moving unfocused across the objects on the dressing table, and suddenly stopped at the open jewelry box and a pair of gemstone earrings decorated with fine needles.

The corners of her mouth curled up a little, her eyebrows curved slightly, and she said to herself:
"Well, although I can complete the task alone."

"But to be on the safe side, it's best to have someone to help."

"Susie just happened to..."

"Miss, are you in there?"

Just as she was daydreaming, Audrey heard someone knocking on the door and a distorted voice coming from the corridor outside.

From the previous footsteps and the corresponding rhythm, she recognized it as her personal maid, Anne.

"I'm here, come in."

Audrey looked in the mirror, adjusted her expression, fixed her hair, and straightened her back.

"Click~"

Anne pushed open the door and said with a smile, "Miss, I have good news to tell you."

"Eh? What's the good news?"

Audrey blinked curiously like a young lady who knew nothing about the world.

Anne smiled and said, "Viscount Black is downstairs, and Lady Catelyn is entertaining him downstairs."

After a pause, Anne winked at Audrey and said, "It seems that he came here specifically to see the lady."

"Eh?"

Audrey immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised voice, her pretty face flushed, and she looked a little flustered, "I, I'll put on some makeup first, and I'll be right down."

"Okay, miss."

There was a hint of mischief in Anne's eyes, and she bowed slightly and left the room.

What Anne didn't know was that as soon as she closed the door to block her view, Audrey's expression returned to normal in a very short time.

"Has Mr. Lover come back yet?"

"Hmm~, during the last Tarot meeting, he and Mr. Alger were already less than two days away from Pritz Harbor."

"According to the time calculation, Mr. Lover arrived at Pritz Harbor almost exactly this morning."

The girl fiddled with her smooth golden hair, repeatedly wrapping it around her fingers and then quickly releasing it, her fair and beautiful face full of an expression of serious thought.

Although her face looked calm, the girl's mood seemed somewhat complicated and entangled.

Her father had discovered that there was a connection between her and the embers.

In order not to expose the existence of the Tarot Club, she chose to pretend to be a young girl who was just beginning to fall in love.

This would naturally conceal the existence of the Tarot Club.

At the same time, it can also effectively explain her relationship with Ember.

And that was indeed the case, the father had no doubts about their relationship.

She even invited Yu Jin to be her tutor.

Well, although this tutor is not competent at all and has only been to work for a few days so far.

However, considering Yu Jin's flexible working hours in the Church of Evernight, he can be considered competent in his job.

Now back
The only problem is.

"How should I go to see my mother?"

"Well, I don't want to come off as too enthusiastic."

“But it’s not okay to be too cold.

"Hmm~"

Audrey fell into thought.

But soon she won't have to worry about this anymore.

Because, footsteps were heard outside the door again.

"Not Annie."

Audrey listened to the sound and rhythm of footsteps outside the door and felt that it was very familiar, but for a moment she could not match it to a particular servant.

Until she heard a knock on the door.

"May I come inside?"

"Mr. Lover."

The girl looked a little surprised. She patted her cheeks and said softly, "Come in."

"Click~"

Yu Jin pushed the door open and quickly closed it after entering the room.

Through the crack in the door, Audrey also saw Susie lying on the ground and winking at her.

"..."

Audrey was speechless. Susie, what are you doing?

Audrey sighed helplessly in her heart. Susie had been hanging out with Annie and the others all day and had learned bad things from them.

Audrey opened her mouth and was about to say hello.

But suddenly I heard the sound of small footsteps coming from outside the door——

It was like someone was walking on tiptoe, and there was more than one person.

"How did you get up here?"

Audrey's expression changed slightly, her cheeks flushed, and she was so nervous that her voice stuttered.

Ember shrugged, "Lady Catelyn asked me to come up and talk to you."

"I-I see... Then... Then when did you come back?"

"We just arrived at Pritz Harbor this morning, and took the steam train back to Backlund at two in the afternoon."

"Hmm~"

Audrey lowered her head, as if she didn't know what to say next. After a moment, she blushed and said, "Ash, can you...can you tell me about your experience at sea during this time?"

"of course can."

Yu Jin smiled and nodded, pretending to ponder for a moment, and half-fabricated and half-stitched about his experience of "going to sea".

"Well, where should I start? I set out from Pritz Harbor, and my first stop was Damir Island..."

I heard conversation coming from inside the house.

After a while, the sound of a woman laughing with her hands covering her mouth could be heard from outside the door. A moment later, footsteps were heard from outside the door, gradually fading away.

It seemed that the woman had left the corridor contentedly.

"Really."

Audrey's expression instantly returned to normal, and she said in distress, "Why is even my mother like this?"

She recognized the footsteps as Lady Catelyn's, and even the snickering was hers.

But why would a mother want to laugh at her daughter's joke?
"It's because they care about you, right?"

Ember shrugged and sat down on a chair nearby.

Audrey looked somewhat helpless and sighed softly.

Really.

If I had known earlier, I would have pretended that we had a different relationship. Now if we continue like this, it will be difficult to resolve in the end.

And, fortunately, my father is not at home, otherwise the situation would have become more complicated.

but.

The arrival of embers doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

"Hmm~, embers."

Audrey sorted out her thoughts and said softly, "Just now, Mr. Fool's followers commissioned me. They hope that I can do some minor, imperceptible damage to a bookmark at the memorial exhibition of Emperor Roselle."

After thinking for a while, Audrey continued, "That bookmark seems to contain some very important secrets. Mr. Fool's followers value it so much that they offered an unlimited price for it."

"I accepted the commission, but it would be difficult for me to do it without being noticed. So..."

Audrey blinked, "Ember, are you coming?"

"can."

Yu Jin was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he nodded slightly.

Although he had no interest in Russell's Caobi Diary.

But he didn't have much to do anyway, so it was not impossible for him to accompany Audrey.

Ember thought for a moment and then asked, "How is your mind-reading potion being digested?"

"Not even close."

Audrey's lips curled up slightly, her smile was bright, and she said in a brisk tone, "I think I should be able to finish digesting it by the end of the month. By then, I can become a mid-sequence Beyonder."

She only became a spectator channel extraordinaire in early July.

By the end of August, she had been promoted to a mind reader.

And now, only over a month had passed, and she would soon be able to completely digest the potion.

And most importantly, she already had all the potions she needed to be promoted to 'Psychologist'.

You can be promoted immediately after the potion is digested.

In less than four months, he went from an ordinary person to a Sequence 7 Mid-Sequence Beyonder.

This speed is undoubtedly unimaginable for ordinary people!

Even with the help of acting, her speed is definitely among the fastest.

Although because of the audience's channel, she has become accustomed to concealing her emotions.

But this doesn't mean that she doesn't feel excited and proud inside, she just doesn't often show it.

"ember."

Audrey winked at Ember and said cunningly, "I think you should be able to prepare the Sequence 6 potion formula for me in advance. I want to collect the main ingredients in advance. Well, it would be best if I could finish collecting the main ingredients before digesting the potion, just like in the past few times."

The formula for a Sequence 7 potion cost 800 pounds, and including various materials she spent a total of 2300 pounds.

Sequence 6 will only be more expensive.

Although in theory, the formula for a sequence 6 potion would only cost less than 1600 pounds.

But the closer you get to a higher sequence, the less potion formulas are circulated.

This also means that potion formulas above the mid-sequence usually have a very serious premium.

According to the market price, a sequence 6 potion formula might even cost as much as 3000 pounds!
At the Sequence 6 level, the main ingredients needed to prepare the potion cost no less than 2000 pounds each.

In other words, if you want to complete the promotion, you will need to spend at least 7000 pounds in total!
Even for Audrey, this was a big burden.

Because this is equivalent to her pocket money for half a year.

Especially when she still needs to pay the monthly "rental fee" for the Ember Sacrifice Ring, it seems even more stretched.

However, this is actually not a big problem.

After all, although she has no money, her father, Earl Hall, is rich!

A mere 7000 pounds was less than one percent of the Hall family's annual income.

It’s just a small amount of money!
Audrey thought happily.

"no problem."

Yu Jin nodded slightly, and at the end, he poured cold water on Audrey, "However, most of the sequence pathways that the Evernight Goddess Church has only reach Sequence 5 at the highest. After all, all major forces are extremely strict about keeping high-sequence potion formulas secret, and the church is not omnipotent. Therefore, you can only rely on yourself to find potion formulas above Sequence 4."

“Sequence 5.”

Audrey pursed her lips, feeling a little complicated.

A few months ago, she was just an ordinary noble girl who had aspirations for an extraordinary world.

But now she has reached the threshold of a mid-sequence Beyonder.

Even the demigods who were once high and mighty and could only be looked up to now seemed to be within reach.

You know, even in the Orthodox Church, demigods are popular high-level combat forces!

“This is not something I should consider right now.”

Audrey shook her head, her tone still cheerful, and she smiled, "I still have a long way to go before I can become a Sequence 4 Demigod. Besides, this is not something that can be achieved overnight, right?"

Promotions for low-sequence people are fast, but that doesn’t mean the same is true for mid- and high-sequence people.

It now takes less than two months to digest the potion, but in the middle sequence it may take at least half a year.

By that calculation, it would take her at least a year to become Sequence 5.

She doesn't need to think so far ahead.

not to mention.

Isn’t there still the almighty Mr. Fool?

With Mr. Fool here, I can use my accumulated merits to exchange for potion formulas, right?

"Ah!"

At No. 15 Minsk Street, Klein touched his nose and looked around vigilantly.

Is there a traitor who wants to harm me?

……

Six pm.

The Kingdom Museum saw off its last batch of visitors.

But soon, they welcomed a new group of visitors——

The visiting group consisted of noble people such as the Earl's daughter, the Duke's child, and the young Viscount.

These noble children would certainly not crowd together with commoners to visit the exhibition, so they chose to come after the Kingdom Museum closed and were received by special staff.

And Audrey and Ember are among them.

"In Backlund's gloom, she is like the bright sunshine."

At this time, Max Levimors, the captain of the West District team of "Mechanical Heart" who was in charge of guarding Nian Zhan, was looking at the blonde girl on the side with admiration.

But when his eyes met the young man next to the girl, he couldn't help feeling sad and angry.

"It's a pity that the pearl is covered in dust!"

At this moment, Audrey was like a noble lady who showed great curiosity about everything in the outside world. She was looking at the toilet inlaid with gold foil and carved with intricate patterns with great interest.

“Is this the first flush toilet in the modern sense?”

"Yes, I personally think that this is one of the outstanding contributions that Roselle has made to human civilization. It and its accompanying sewer project have changed the situation in Trier where the streets are full of, ah, full of filth."

The tour guide originally wanted to say the word "feces", but after looking at the girl in front of him, he felt that he could not lose his elegant demeanor.

Viscount Glint laughed beside him:
"Why are you so curious about this? No matter how old it is, it's still just a flush toilet."

The other noble children who were on good terms with them all laughed out loud.

"No, Grelinte, you don't understand. This is the glory of human civilization."

Audrey responded with a faint smile, and mentally made a vomiting face.

If it weren't for the request from Mr. Fool's followers, I wouldn't want to do this.

She sighed helplessly.

Although the embers were still there, Audrey had already thought about the division of labor between the two parties before coming.

The other party will only be responsible for covering for him——

Moreover, Yu Jin's image is indeed not suitable for playing a naive girl.

Audrey imagined the scene in her mind and couldn't help laughing.

"Pfft~"

"Ok?"

Yu Jin cast a questioning look at him, which immediately made Audrey look away as if she was guilty, and walked to other exhibits pretending to be curious.

soon.

Led by the tour guide, the group entered the exhibition hall containing Roselle's diary.

Audrey showed great interest as always, and asked to appreciate something in every exhibition hall carefully, and her request was basically met.

The narrator could neither refuse nor deny the beautiful girl’s request.

Because she is Backlund's most dazzling gem and the daughter of Count Hall.

As long as she didn't want to take all these things home, no one would refuse her request.

Yu Jin also glanced at a diary in the exhibition hall.

"May 5st, Lady Alice is really nice!"

"May 5nd. Well, her daughter is not bad either."

"May 5th. Tsk, Mrs. Alice actually has a little granddaughter with the same name as her. But to distinguish her, let's call her Little Alice. You can't tell, Little Alice is already 24 years old, but her figure is still so petite and lovely. Mrs. Alice is not bad either. From her appearance, she doesn't look like she is almost 19 years old. She looks like she is in her twenties at most."

"May 5th, Little Alice stepped on me yesterday in white silk, AWSL!"

"Well, I found that I have a crush on little Alice. White silk is really nice."

"On May 5, little Alice's husband came to visit me unexpectedly and scared me. He asked me if I knew where little Alice was. Hehe, how could he know that when he asked this question, little Alice was hiding in my arms, only a quilt away from him?"

"June 6th, I'm tired of it. I'm a little tired of it. Although white silk is good, you will get tired of it after a while. But today little Alice came again, and brought one of her sisters, another white silk!"

"AWSL! I will never get tired of white silk! White silk is the eternal god!"

"On June 6, Mrs. Alice suddenly came to my house angrily and blamed me for being obsessed with her granddaughter."

Yu Jin withdrew his gaze expressionlessly and followed the team that was heading to other exhibition halls.

at last.

After walking and stopping along the way, they came to the restored study room where Roselle had lived before.

When the guide introduced the "creative manuscript", the girl spoke with bright eyes:

"Can I take a look? I want to see what the manuscript of the great inventor Russell looks like and what wonderful ideas it contains."

"No problem, beautiful Miss Hall, respected Viscount Glint, you can all turn over a few pages.
If any of you are devout believers of the church, you can even apply for a copy.”

The narrator answered based on Max's hint.

As a devout believer of the goddess, Audrey could only respond with a faint smile and was not in a position to speak.

At the same time, she pretended to lift her hair, reached out her hand to touch her right ear, and quietly took off the earring.

Then, the glass covering the desk opened. Audrey stepped forward, held down the manuscript, casually pulled out the bookmark, and flipped a page at random.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, there was a slight sound.

I seemed to hear someone exclaiming beside my ear, attracting the attention of everyone around me.

When I looked sideways, I found that it was Yu Jin who accidentally swept the ink bottle off the table.

Seeing the ink bottle fall to the ground, everyone's heart was in their throat.

But just when the ink bottle was about to hit the ground and break, Yu Jin quickly caught it.

Suddenly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry for my oversight."

Yu Jin put the ink bottle back on the table and said apologetically.

"No, it's okay."

The guide breathed a sigh of relief, and then reminded, "Please be careful, especially when handling items that are easily damaged."

"Really? Why would Miss Audrey fall for such a hot-headed boy?"

Max frowned, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

But considering the other party's status as a nobleman and the fact that he didn't actually damage anything, he couldn't come out and reprimand him.

Taking this opportunity, Audrey, who had already finished testing, threw the earrings in her hand to the ground, then tilted her head and said:
"Sorry, my earring fell off."

The maid came over quickly, picked up the earrings and helped her put them on.

The episode passed in a flash, and everyone's attention returned to the manuscript.

"Why are you so careless?"

Audrey walked up to Yu Jin and said with some complaint.

"My fault."

Yu Jin raised his hands and said helplessly, "It was right on the edge, and I almost dropped it. But it doesn't matter, right? It's just an ink bottle, how much can it be worth?"

"That's more than just an ink bottle!"

Audrey seemed a little angry, and said angrily, "You don't understand at all! That is the relic of Emperor Roselle, it is..."

“It is the glory of human civilization.”

Yu Jin took over the conversation with a nonchalant expression on his face, "I understand, I understand."

Audrey puffed up her cheeks and glared at him angrily.

This scene immediately made the people around feel a little gloating.

Not only those noble children, but also Max, the guard, is like this.

After all, no one wants Backlund's most dazzling gem to be cheated away by someone else.

Even if they want to cheat, they should be allowed to do it!
It’s better to break up, it’s better to break up right on the spot!
Max thought with some malice.

Unfortunately.

Audrey had her back to them, so no one saw the subtle hint in the girl's eyes.

Otherwise they should realize that it's all an act.

soon.

Many of the noble children who came to visit showed interest in the manuscripts, and they came forward to look through them, and even exclaimed in admiration from time to time -

They may not be truly interested, but more simply hope to cater to Backlund's most dazzling gem.

But Audrey, who was still watching, smiled faintly and rolled her eyes at the embers beside her from time to time.

It was like saying to him, 'Look, it's not me who's wrong, it's you who have no taste! '

Yu Jin seemed a little irritated and walked towards the booth without saying a word.

This made Max alert, fearing that he would tear up the manuscript in anger, but -

That would be nice if that were the case.

Max had a sneer on his face.

He would stop the other person and teach him a lesson he would never forget.

At the same time, we must also make Miss Audrey realize that she has chosen the wrong person!

He is just another dandy boy who looks all show and no substance.

however.

To his disappointment, the embers showed no signs of wanting to tear it apart violently.

He just flipped through it casually for a while, then threw the manuscript back to the booth very casually and said lightly:
"generally!"

"Ah."

Max was so angry that he laughed, but he also knew that he was currently disguised as a security guard and had no right to reprimand the other party.

So he just walked forward with a cold face and confirmed it.

When he found that the bookmark on which he had received the manuscript was showing signs of being exposed, he stuffed the bookmark back in and closed the glass cover again.

On the other side, Miss Audrey, as expected, started to sulk at Yu Jin again.

No matter how Yu Jin tried to talk to him, he ignored him.

This comforted Max a little.

Max nodded slightly to the tour guide without leaving any trace.

The tour guide quickly understood and immediately led the group out of the study and walked towards other exhibition halls.

In the next exhibition hall, Miss Audrey continued to show great interest.

Yu Jin, who was standing next to her, seemed to want to make amends and would occasionally agree, but each time he only got a light snort from Miss Audrey.

Until they left the museum, their relationship seemed to remain stiff.

Even the maid was a little worried.

"Who asked you to come up?"

Audrey boarded the carriage and looked at Yu Jin who was also preparing to board, and said with dissatisfaction.

"You can't let me walk back?"

Ember shrugged and squeezed forward shamelessly.

Audrey just puffed up her cheeks but did not object.

This scene undoubtedly made those who saw it secretly curse him as shameless, but in fact, they were all jealous to death in their hearts.

Especially Max, who had been waiting for Miss Audrey's rejection.

As long as Miss Audrey refused, he would rush up and pull that guy down.

But unfortunately, he didn't wait for this opportunity.

It was already evening, and Backlund, where it was already difficult to see the sun, had already become dark, and the gas street lamps were lit one after another.

The carriage drove silently on the street, heading north towards Queens.

The two people in the carriage seemed to have a conflict and did not say a word the whole way.

In the end, Yu Jin took the initiative to admit his mistake and finally calmed Audrey down.

When they returned to the Hall family villa, Yu Jin was the first to get out of the car.

He reached out his hand to the girl in the car.

"uh-huh?"

Audrey raised her snow-white neck and deliberately ignored him. Instead, she was led out of the car from the other side by the maid.

Lord Hall had also returned home at this time and was standing at the door with Caitlin.

She looked at the two of them with an auntie smile.

They had already learned from the maid that the two had had a conflict, but they did not take it seriously.

It is normal for young people to have some temper with each other.

Just some comfort.

Yu Jin watched Audrey return home and said with a slightly awkward expression, "Mr. Earl, Lady Caitlin, I'll take my leave first."

"Not urgent."

Earl Hall said with a smile, "Dinner is already prepared. Let's have dinner before going back. Also,"

Count Hall gave Yu Jin a look and said in a tone of an experienced person, "Girls need to be coaxed. Go up and have a good talk with Audrey."

Yu Jin touched his nose and did not insist on refusing.

As if he just needed an excuse, he turned and climbed the stairs.

Under the guidance of the maid, he entered the room that Audrey had deliberately left unlocked.

The maids outside the corridor smiled softly, as if they could see that their mistress had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

As soon as she entered the room, Audrey still looked sulky.

It wasn't until Yu Jin closed the door that Audrey's expression immediately calmed down. Instead, she asked curiously,

"How about it?"

"very smooth."

Ember nodded and said something that made Audrey a little confused.

Then, she saw a note appear in Yu Jin's palm, and her eyes widened.

She looked at the embers, and the embers looked at her, and they were speechless.
