Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 159

"Okay, Cecilia, don't let your favor get you into trouble."

Although he knew Cecilia very well and knew that she cared most about her feelings and would not really do anything to disrupt his harem, but looking at her pouting lips, Eli still reached out and smoothed them for her.

"Hmph~ The master is good in every way, except that he is a little fickle."

After Eli smoothed the corners of her mouth, Cecilia did not pout again. She just snorted and turned her head away, acting like the tsundere her master had said.

I'm really sorry, being born into a noble family, it's hard to avoid problems in this regard. Not to mention that he has many beautiful wives in this life with his extraordinary talent, even when he was mediocre in his previous life, he still had more than one beauty by his side.

William's sister Caroline, whom Eli met by chance before, was one of Eli's partners in his previous life. However, they were united in their previous life at the behest of their parents, a marriage between the Bruno family and the Black family.

Although Eli, whose soul came from the Blue Star, instinctively resisted this kind of arranged marriage with outdated ideas, after meeting Cassia, the woman he was going to marry, for the first time, Eli felt that the two of them were quite a good match and were indeed well-matched.

Later it was proved that the Duke and Duchess of Bruno and Eli had good vision. Garcia was indeed a rare and virtuous wife. Although her talent was average and she was only a fourth-level priest until adulthood, she did her best for her husband and family.

When Eli was living a leisurely life in his previous life, he regretted not having met Garcia earlier and missed out on many happy times with her. So after he was reborn in this life, in addition to working hard to improve himself and win over Jessica and Cecilia, he also took the opportunity of an aristocratic gathering when he was a child to find Garcia, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Black's mansion, and wanted to play with her in a very familiar way.

I have to say that Garcia was so adorable when she was a child. Although she was a little naughty compared to the elegant and dignified Garcia as an adult, Eli still liked playing with her.

Although it was somewhat awkward for Eli, with his adult soul, to play games with a little girl, he also enjoyed the joy of nurturing, especially nurturing his former wife.

Needless to say, Garcia was not the only one raised by Eli. Before long, three little girls and a little boy started playing together. However, the little blonde girl always competed with Garcia for brother Eli, so that although the relationship between the two was close, it was not very harmonious.

Recalling the little things from his childhood and youth in this life, Eli couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth into an arc filled with smile.

And when other people see this smile, they will naturally interpret it as a smug smile, as if saying "Look, I found a lot of beautiful wives~".

……

……

The young master of the Duke's Mansion has returned. After a "meeting" in the hall of the mansion, all the servants of the Duke's Mansion were notified.

In order to celebrate the young master's safe return, all staff in the mansion, regardless of length of service, position, age, will have their salary tripled this month, and will be given three days of vacation, with the time of the vacation being freely chosen.

This time, not only Duke and Duchess Bruno were happy, but the entire Duke's Mansion was plunged into a sea of ​​joy.

Even Jessica, who was usually the calmest, was very happy, because as Eli's personal bodyguard, she also received a large sum of money, which she could save as a dowry for her future marriage to her master.

There was one person who looked a little overwhelmed holding a small bag of heavy gold coins. She had just arrived at Eli's house. Wasn't it a bit inappropriate for her to take so much money from them?

Besides, Eleanor was Eli's guest, not his servant or Eli's woman, so why should she take the money? Eleanor scratched her head, puzzled.

However, compared with Eleanor's doubts, the Duchess was even more filled with guilt when she gave Eleanor the money. If it weren't for her good psychological quality, she would have hugged Eleanor and cried for a while.

Poor child, she was chosen by Eli at such a young age. It’s not her fault that she is so cute. It’s just that her son is too greedy...

Because they had been feasting and eating in the palace for a long time, it was dark now and no one was hungry, so they didn't ask the kitchen to prepare dinner. After giving red envelopes to Jessica, Cecilia, Evelyn and Eleanor, the Duchess went to arrange accommodation for everyone.

As the head of the family, Duke Bruno acted like the patriarch for a long time tonight and didn't say a word. However, his son was already an adult and brought a "girlfriend" home, so he just let his wife take care of these household chores and he just had to control the overall situation.

After the Duchess left, Duke Bruno did not stay long. He stood up from the sofa, walked to Eli, patted him on the shoulder, said only one sentence "Well done" and left on his own.

With Eli's recent achievements, his father, Duke Bruno, was naturally proud of him, but in order to maintain his majestic image as a father, he finally only uttered these four words.

Compared to those slick nobles, Duke Bruno, who had been a military general for a long time, was indeed not good at speaking. In addition, his son had behaved much more maturely than his peers since he was young and did not need too much discipline from him. Therefore, although the father and son were not strangers, they did have little communication.

After Duke Bruno left, the Duchess who had gone to make arrangements earlier came back. She ignored Eli and took Evelyn and Eleanor affectionately, bringing them to the inner courtyard of the Duke's Mansion where the three of them lived.

Under the arrangement of the Duchess, Evelyn was taken to a private courtyard not far from Eli's room. There was not only a huge bedroom, but also a study, guest room, bathroom and a small kitchen.

As for Eleanor, because she looked too young, the Duchess arranged her to live in the courtyard adjacent to her and Duke Bruno's master bedroom, so that she could quickly find adults if anything happened.

As for Jessica and Cecilia, although they often lived with Eli and slept in the same bed when they were outside, after returning to the Duke's Mansion, they had their own rooms, right next to Eli.

In front of the Duchess, Cecilia was too embarrassed to go into her master's room, and she went back to her room obediently. Although Jessica was not prone to blushing, she also went back to her room consciously.

At night, Eli lay alone on the spacious and comfortable bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. He was used to falling asleep in the arms of a beautiful girl, and now he was alone in the empty room, and he did feel lonely.

However, he was not a severe sex maniac who would die without the hug of a beautiful woman. Relying on the powerful spirit to hypnotize himself, Eli finally fell asleep smoothly... But in the middle of the night, when the whole Duke's Mansion was silent, a tall figure from the next room quietly sneaked into Eli's room. After discovering that Eli had fallen asleep alone, Cecilia did not feel disappointed, but happily rubbed into her master's arms.

After her, a rather plump figure from another room next door walked into Eli's room in an upright manner. After discovering that Cecilia had already taken the best position first, Jessica did not get angry, but lay down behind her master with an expressionless face, and reached out to hug her master into her broad arms.

That night, the Duke's Mansion was peaceful and nothing happened...

The next day, when Eli turned over and got up, his arms and back were empty, with only the lingering fragrance of the wind, proving that someone had been there last night.

After returning home, Cecilia restrained herself a lot. If she were outside, if she didn't give him a morning bite, she would have considered it because she was tired last night.

Jessica was as sensible as ever, coming when she should and leaving when she should, not seeming greedy, but just the right amount of considerate.

After a quick wash in the adjacent bathroom, Eli changed into aristocratic attire that was completely different from his military uniform. From today on, he was no longer the commander who bravely killed demons on the front line, but an ordinary son of a duke, a nobleman of the Dawn Empire.

But compared with those mediocre dandies, Eli is at most a playboy. Apart from his beauty, which is similar to other nobles, everything else is different.

It has to be said that clothes make a man look handsome. Although Eli's appearance is already good, he looks even more handsome and imposing after wearing exquisite and expensive aristocratic costumes. This is probably the reason why Garcia has been willing to play with him since she was a child.

After Eli had taken care of himself, his mother's servants came to invite him to the restaurant to dine with the Duke and Duchess. Before they came to invite him, Jessica and Cecilia had gone there first, and rarely did they act as his little followers.

On the way to the restaurant, Eli met Evelyn, who was also heading to the restaurant, led by a servant. Today, she was no longer wearing the black wizard robe, but a beautiful long dress. Although it was also black, she looked more elegant and beautiful.

Eli had sharp eyes, and when Evelyn came up to him with a smile on her face, he noticed that she was wearing a pair of exquisite black stockings under her skirt, and although it was only a brief glimpse, they looked like the same style as Cecilia's.

Black stockings should be paired with a short skirt. If such a long skirt covers it, won’t the black stockings be worn in vain? Eli was a little puzzled, but thinking of Evelin’s shy personality, she probably wouldn’t dare to wear a short skirt in front of outsiders.

That was perfect. He would let her change into a short skirt when they were alone. He remembered that Evelin's legs were also quite beautiful. They were a little plumper than Cecilia's and a little thinner than Jessica's. Not only did they have a certain sense of fleshiness, but the shape of their legs was also quite good. They should feel great to the touch...

"Eli~"

"Evelyn~"

In front of the servants, Evelin didn’t dare to be too intimate with Eli, but she still called him sweetly, then ran over with a ding-dong sound and hugged him gently.

Eli naturally responded with a big hug, and he didn't let go until Evelin's ears turned red.

After an intimate hug, Eli naturally took Evelyn's hand and waved away the servants who were leading the way for her. As the future master of the Duke's Mansion, of course he had to lead the way for the future mistress of the Duke's Mansion... one of them.

However, with his contributions on the front battlefield, promotion is inevitable. If he is awarded another title at that time, he may have to leave the Duke's Mansion and live in the palace granted by His Majesty the Emperor.

Of course, these are all later stories. For now, so many of them still have to live in the Duke's Mansion to get familiar with the environment. He has just become an adult and is not in a hurry to become completely independent.

Leading Evelyn, Eli quickly arrived at the restaurant. At this time, Duke Bruno and his wife, Jessica, Cecilia and others had already taken their seats. Even Eleanor was sitting in a specially made elevated chair waiting for them.

Jessica and Cecilia were originally Eli's personal guards, and they were not supposed to sit with the host family. But since Eli took them to the main table to have a family dinner for five people when they set out from here earlier, the Duchess naturally took them to sit down with her.

In fact, among all the people present, only Eleanor was special, not because she was the only one sitting on a special chair, but because she was the only guest at the table. However, it was obvious that Duke and Duchess Bruno did not treat her as a guest.

"Eli, you're finally here. Eleanor is almost starving to death."

Eleanor's face was full of unhappiness at this moment. Although the seat under her butt was a perfect fit, she still felt a little annoyed that someone was paying special attention to her height.

If she hadn't been born into a royal family and hadn't known a bit about etiquette, she would have been in a bad mood by now.

"Eli, you are such a jerk. Look how anxious Eleanor is...Okay, everyone is here. Let's eat."

Although the Duchess had good intentions, the term "baby" still inadvertently hurt Eleanor. She was Eli's big sister! Why was she being called like Eli's little darling?
If Eli hadn't taught her a lesson and improved her temper a little, she wouldn't even need to eat by now, she would be so angry that she would be full.

Forget it, Auntie didn’t mean it. Although I am older than Eli, I am much younger than Auntie. There is nothing wrong with her calling me “good boy”. I can just think of it as the Queen Mother calling her…

Sitting down with Evelyn, Eli didn't tease Eleanor, whose cheeks were puffed up, or Cecilia, who was staring at him and Evelyn holding hands, but started eating obediently.
Compared to the army, the food in the Duke's Mansion was undoubtedly much more refined and delicious. It was even comparable to the various imperial delicacies they had tasted along the way after entering the country.

This breakfast was a pleasant one. Eleanor, who had turned her grief and anger into appetite, even ate so much that her belly was full. As soon as she got down from the table, she asked Evelyn to take her out for a walk to help digest the food.

Duke and Duchess Bruno left immediately after the meal because they had important things to do. After all, the engagement party of Eli and Princess Lina was hosted by the Duke's Palace. Although the Duke's Palace was not short of money, time was tight and the preparations had to be meticulous, so they had to oversee it personally.
