Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 46 You don't have to hide, we all understand
As time went by, Earl Hall's eyes became more and more kind when he looked at Yu Jin.

It's like a benevolent elder looking at a younger generation who is excellent in all aspects and good enough for him to recognize.

In terms of status, although the title of Viscount is a bit lower, he has at least entered the ranks of the nobility.

Besides, Yu Jin is at least a genuine viscount, not just the heir to the viscount.

In terms of ability, he was already a night watchman of the Church of Evernight at a young age.

And judging from his concealed identity and experience, he is obviously closely connected with the middle and even upper levels of the Church of Night.

Coming to Backlund from Wintershire obviously had an unknown purpose.

Earl Hall had no intention of exploring the purpose of this matter. He only needed to know that Yu Jin's identity was extraordinary.

therefore.

Whether it was Yu Jin's knowledge, conversation or ability, Earl Hall nodded frequently with approval.

Although he still felt somewhat unhappy about Jinx's decision to act without authorization, his overall attitude had improved.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Bang bang~"

"Come in."

Yu Jin subconsciously looked towards the door, and a blond, blue-eyed, beautiful and graceful lady pushed the door open, with a proper smile on her face, and jokingly said, "Gentlemen, I don't mean to interrupt your conversation. But it's lunch time now, I think you can enjoy lunch first before continuing."

"I'm sorry, Caitlin."

Earl Hall smiled bitterly, and then introduced to Ember, "This is my wife, Caitlin, and this is Viscount Ash Black. Ash, I'm sorry to have to keep you for so long. As compensation, how about you stay and have lunch with us?"

"It's my pleasure."

Yu Jin stood up and bowed slightly to the Countess, then smiled and accepted Earl Hall's invitation. After a pause, he said, "But before that, I think I need to go to the bathroom first."

"Oh, look at my brain."

Count Hall patted his head in annoyance, and the Countess was even quicker to order, "Laura, take Viscount Black to the bathroom."

Laura, the Countess's personal maid, who was dressed in a maid outfit, had long brown hair and brown eyes, bowed respectfully and led Yu Jin towards the bathroom.

The Count and Countess walked towards the restaurant.

"How about it?"

The Countess suddenly asked inexplicably.

"He's a fine young man."

The Earl nodded slightly and praised, "The Viscount's title is not low, and he has close ties with the Church of Darkness."

Although she did not say it explicitly, the Countess could see the importance her husband attached to the young man.

"It doesn't look bad."

The Countess frowned slightly and murmured, "It's just that this seems to be a little different from Anne's description. Could it be his disguise?"

Anne was Audrey's personal maid, and in her description, her words were quite restrained and considered.

But the Countess could also hear one thing -

He is a gigolo.

But her husband's words seemed to completely overturn this conjecture.

"will not."

The count pointed to his own eyes and said without hesitation, "If everything he showed was really a disguise, it would not be hidden from my eyes. My dear, you have to believe in my judgment."

"Of course I believe you."

The Countess sighed softly, still sounding somewhat worried. "But you also know that Anne would not lie, especially about this kind of thing, and we have already had the Beyonder verify it, right?"

"This……"

The Earl frowned, unable to figure out the key to this. After pondering for a moment, he said, "This may be a misunderstanding, or there may be some other secret. But you don't have to worry. I think we will know the truth of all this soon."

"makes sense."

The Countess nodded slightly and looked forward.

At the long table in the restaurant, Audrey had already stood up when she saw the two of them.

"Dad, Mom." Audrey greeted with a sweet smile and pulled out a chair next to the Countess.

"No, dear."

The Countess smiled and said, "Not today."

"Eh?"

Audrey was a little confused.

There was obvious amusement and teasing in my mother's eyes.

It doesn't seem like a bad thing. Could it be that some important person is going to sit next to me?
Is my brother back?
Audrey's mind raced as she began to guess who was coming.

She even guessed that it might be a prince——

This might be a blind date arranged by her mother for herself, even though she is not yet an adult.

But soon, Audrey's brain stopped working.

Because she saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the restaurant.

"Lord Hall, Lady Catelyn."

Yu Jin greeted them one by one, and finally looked at Audrey, "And Miss Audrey."

"Good day, Viscount Black."

Audrey's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly reacted and responded in a low voice.

She had no idea why Ash was here.

Did you come to visit on your own initiative? Or was you invited?

Audrey didn't know the reason, but she still instinctively tried to pretend that she didn't know him well in front of her parents.

However, she was so confused that she did not notice that the expressions of the White Lord and the Countess became playful at the same time when they heard her name.

"Sit down, Ash."

Earl Hall sat in the main seat and greeted them with a smile.

Yu Jin didn't act pretentiously and pulled out a chair and prepared to sit down.

"No, not that."

Earl Hall shook his head and pointed to a seat nearby, "Sit here, closer."

"..."

Ash's expression was slightly surprised, and he glanced at Earl Hall strangely.

But he did not refuse. Adhering to the principle that the guest should follow the host's wishes, he sat down at the seat pointed by Earl Hall.

And by coincidence.

This seat is right next to Audrey.

The Countess, who was supposed to sit here, did not sit on the other side of Audrey, but chose to sit opposite Audrey.

Even though Audrey was already a familiar audience member of the performance, her eyes still glazed over.

Instead, there was a hint of mischief in the earl's eyes, and the countess could hardly control her emotions and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

At this moment, they didn't look like aristocrats, or even like Audrey's parents. They were just two people having fun.

"How is this going?"

Audrey subconsciously turned her gaze towards the embers.

Although she didn't say anything, Yu Jin could see the questioning look in the girl's eyes.

"Thank you for your invitation, Earl Hall."

Yu Jin noticed Audrey's look, stood up, raised the glass on the table and toasted Earl Hall.

"do not worry about it."

Count Hall said with a smile, "After all, you and Audrey are friends, right?"

Yu Jin shrugged, but Audrey blushed instantly, her heart filled with shame for being teased by her parents.
