Who told him to rush up there?.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Eli woke up early, and after moving away the black silk legs that were pressing on his stomach, he took off the cat tail that was wrapped around his arm, and then he broke free from Jessica's facial cleanser.

It can be seen that everyone’s sleeping posture is not very good, he is relatively normal, as long as he holds the sweet and soft baby, it’s fine.

Eli's action of getting up obviously woke up the others. Although it was still early, several girls got up. Even the little princess Lina, who was always lazy in bed, frowned and forced herself to get up.

Because Eli was leaving today, going to the distant Elf Empire, and he couldn't even set an exact time to return home, so no matter how sleepy they were, they had to get up and see their men off.

"Let's go, wash up and have breakfast together, I'm about to leave."

Eli patted Cecilia's round and firm butt as he spoke, and was the first to leave the room amid her coquettish voice.

When everyone had finished their preparations and were heading to the restaurant together, they met Eleanor walking with Alyssa on the way. The two of them had gotten up very early today, and it seemed that they were afraid that they would not be able to make it in time to send their brother (Eli) off.

The breakfast that followed was very dull. Even Cecilia, who usually loved to chatter, was unusually silent. On the other hand, Jessica, who was usually the coldest, seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times, which attracted Eli's attention.

"Jessica, do you have anything to say?"

Eli put down his knife and fork and asked Jessica with a puzzled look on his face.

"If the master is gone for a long time, what will happen to Sister Jia Xiya?"

Although Jessica and Gabriella were childhood sweethearts, their relationship was just average, not as close as that with Cecilia. But she had heard her master say that he would visit Gabriella at her home next month and would even propose marriage to her.

Now that the master is gone, the time of his departure is uncertain, and it is not far from next month. Jessica does not want the master to break his promise to others, especially to his own woman.

Eli was quite surprised to hear this. He had agreed with his future father-in-law in advance to go to the Duke of Black's mansion to propose marriage next month, but the Emperor, his other father-in-law, did not know about this. It was obviously a temporary decision to send him to the Elf Empire as an envoy, and it could not be done to interfere with his other engagement.

But this important matter is likely to collide with personal matters. If someone else were to make the choice, they would definitely prioritize the important matter and put off personal matters.

But to Eli, what does the diplomacy between the two countries mean? Can it be as important as his lifelong event?

Calculating the time, if he could go early and come back early, he would actually still have time. But Eli recalled his past life and found that the festival of the Elf Empire would end at the beginning of next month. If he wanted to receive the final blessing of the Goddess of Life, he might have to postpone the day of meeting Cassia.

Although he and Duke Black had only agreed to go next month and did not specify the beginning of the month, he could easily delay going until the middle or end of the month, and Duke Black would not find any fault with it, but Eli did not want to do that.

Because Garcia is also a very important woman in his life. She was one of his wives in his previous life. If Lina, Evelyn and others are his new loves, then Garcia is his old love. Eli never gets tired of the old and loves the new, so it is impossible for him not to consider Garcia's feelings.

Since I said I would go see her next month, it must be scheduled on the first day of next month. This will show how much I value her, and this time cannot be postponed!

But you can advance...

The reason why he decided to propose to Gabriella next month was to avoid the heat of his engagement with Princess Lina. He wanted to wait until this wave of excitement had passed before he could arrange a marriage. Otherwise, there might be rumors, and the old emperor might be unhappy to hear them.

But now this appointment was appointed by your Majesty the Emperor, and it happens to delay my marriage. Although I am also partly responsible for wanting to take advantage of the blessing, you, my father-in-law, must bear 99% of the responsibility, right?

Since it's all your fault, don't blame me for making you unhappy...

"After dinner, let's go to Uncle Black's house first and ask the housekeeper... no, Cecilia, you to prepare the generous gifts yourself. Don't worry about the gold coins. You have to prepare enough gifts even if you have to empty the old man's coffers!"

Eli was actually a little embarrassed, because he had indeed overlooked the time conflict between the blessing and the proposal at the beginning. It was not that he did not value this marriage, but he was not qualified to attend the elves' ceremony in his previous life. He was quite surprised to be suddenly appointed before, and he almost missed the big event because of his impulsiveness.

Fortunately, Jessica reminded him in time, and there was still a chance to make amends. In his opinion, between the two possibilities of making the old emperor unhappy and making Gabriella unhappy, he would choose the former without hesitation. For the sake of his wife, he could only let his father-in-law down...

Although Cecilia was a little jealous in the past, Eli was still relieved to leave important matters to her.

She may be jealous, but all she wants is to make her master happy. She will not make any mistakes in such an important matter. If she is asked to prepare the betrothal gifts, she will definitely do it lavishly and will not embarrass him in any way.

Eli's decision was absolute, and no one would object. Although this would mean they would have another sister, compared to Cassia, except for Jessica and Cecilia, the others were latecomers, so how could they refuse the one who came first?

After that, everyone hurriedly ate breakfast, and Eli went back to his room and changed into the most luxurious dress. This time he was going to propose marriage, so he had to dress more formally.

While Cecilia was preparing the gifts, Eli hurried to find his father and mother. Although proposing a marriage did not necessarily have to be done by the parents in person, it was better for them to be present as well, otherwise it would seem not serious enough.

Duke and Duchess Bruno were helpless when they learned that their son had to put his trip on hold and go to the Duke of Black's mansion to propose marriage. However, they could not object. After all, their son was an adult and this was his own private matter. It was not that his parents could not intervene, but it was best not to interfere.

Although Duke Bruno wanted to say that official business was more important and that the important tasks assigned by His Majesty the Emperor should not be delayed for the sake of a woman, he knew his son's character and it was useless to say this to him, as it would only cause conflicts between father and son.

It would be better to help him finish the work quickly, at least in time for the departure at noon or in the afternoon, so as not to delay the trip. You know, it is not a trivial matter to be an envoy to the Elf Empire. The Empire did not send only Eli, he was only the envoy of the Empire, and under him there were two deputy envoys and a large group of envoys.

Given Eli's status, it was natural for him to decide the departure time of the delegation. Yesterday he had already agreed with the messenger officer that they would set off today. Although the exact time was not set in detail at that time, the delegation must have made preparations early.

Just at this moment, the messenger who came yesterday came again, to inquire about Lord Eli's exact departure time.

Eli originally planned to leave early in the morning and reach the Elf Empire as early as possible. After all, the teleportation magic circle could not lead directly there, and he would need to "change trains" several times along the way. When he reached the outskirts of the Elf Forest, he still had to walk a very long way on his own. If he set out at noon or later, he would most likely have to travel at night or delay for another day.

But he was determined not to leave at this moment, considering that instead of being forced to travel at night in a hurry, it would be better to just give up and dawdle for another day. Anyway, the Elf Empire still left some time for the envoys from various countries who participated in the ceremony, so even if he arrived one day late, it would not delay anything big.

"We will set off at 2 pm. We will first use the teleportation magic circle to rush to the Principality of Moko. We will rest in the Principality of Moko for one night, and then we will cross the Elf Forest and rush to the Elf Capital the next morning."

Eli sent the messenger away with just a few words. Although his arrangement seemed unreasonable, he was the chief envoy after all. Once the mission was in his hands, he had the final say.

After seeing off the messenger, Duke Bruno and his wife returned in formal attire, and Cecilia, who had been sent to prepare the betrothal gifts, also came over.

Looking at the servants following her like a cloud and the gift boxes arranged in a long line, even without looking at the gift list, Duke Bruno knew that their family was bleeding heavily again.

Eli had already lost a huge sum of money when he got engaged to Princess Lina, a sum that could not be made up no matter how much betrothal gifts he received. Now that he was proposing to Cassia, the betrothal gifts he prepared would not only exceed the cost of Princess Lina's engagement party, but would also be at least three times the betrothal gifts for a proper marriage between duke-level nobles.

When Eli gets married, his family must not be left to Cecilia, she is a real spendthrift...

Duke Bruno was very distressed that three layers of his treasury were taken away, but Eli was very satisfied with Cecilia. This is called generosity...

"Then let's go to Uncle Black's house now. Don't make any noise along the way. We need to keep a low profile."

Eli said as he ordered the servants to carry the gift box and go directly to the Duke Black's Mansion.

With this kind of display, it’s no longer possible to be low-key… Duke Bruno thought with a heartache.

Sure enough, even though Eli and his companions just quietly went to the street with gifts, the residents along the way and even the nobles passing by were still shocked by them.

Although they couldn't tell the value of the gifts through the boxes, the boxes were all inlaid with gold, so they couldn't possibly be filled with stones, right?
Such a long procession, carrying heavy gifts tied with red silk, must be a betrothal gift to someone's family.

Which family is so generous that he is willing to spend such a heavy betrothal gift? Even if he is marrying a princess, it would be like this...

Of course, this refers to marrying a princess from another country. If it is Princess Lina of the Dawn Empire, the betrothal gift alone is not enough, and he also has to be able to defeat that guy Eli.

Just look at the young man in the middle of the team. His physique looks pretty good, but I wonder how many punches he can take from Eli... Wait, what the hell? Isn't this Eli! ?
With Eli's current fame, it is hard to find a few people who don't know him, especially among the children of the nobility. Almost all of them have been severely humiliated by their parents using the photos of Eli performing magic. His face is so impressive that one can still slightly distinguish it even if it turns into ashes.

Even ordinary civilians who couldn't recognize Eli, who looked handsome and had nothing special about him, could guess their identities by looking at the eye-catching cat-eared beauties beside him.

With a pair of furry cat ears and being so incredibly beautiful, she completely fits the image of the person in the legend. Who else could be the young man who could walk shoulder to shoulder with her?
My goodness, is he bringing his wife to propose marriage to his concubine? I have never seen such an operation before...

The engagement party of Eli and Princess Lina had been held a long time ago, and the betrothal gift this time was definitely not for the princess. Besides, they were not heading towards the palace. Anyone who was not stupid could guess that Eli was doing something tricky.

Princess Lina wasn't angry at all, and she looked very smiling. She really wasn't afraid of someone competing with her for favor...

Uh...but probably no one has the courage to compete with Princess Lina for favor, otherwise His Majesty the Emperor would probably teach her how to write the word "death".

But... besides Princess Lina, why are there several other beauties around this guy Eli? Are they all Eli's concubines? Aren't they afraid of Princess Lina? They are even talking and laughing with her.

And... why are there children here? Does the Empire's law really have no effect on Eli? He is suspected of taking advantage of an underage girl!
Instead, the Duke and Duchess Bruno who were walking in the front were ignored by people. After all, a noble lady and a noble lord could not be as eye-catching as the handsome men and beautiful women. Eli and his group were the real scenery.

Unconsciously, many people followed Eli and his team, most of them were idle noble children or bystanders who were keen on watching the fun. They wanted to see to whom the betrothal gifts would be sent, and who was so unlucky... uh, so lucky, to be favored by Lord Eli.

Fortunately, they didn't walk too far. Not long after, the large group of people in front stopped. The curious people took a look and saw that in front of them was the Duke of Black's Mansion, which was also a top-notch wealthy family in the imperial capital. It was a good match for Eli, who was born in the Duke of Bruno's Mansion.

I have heard before that the Duke of Black has a beautiful daughter, but she seldom goes out and naturally seldom interacts with other noble children. No one knows much about her. If she were not a priest who goes to the Holy Mountain of the Vatican every once in a while, I am afraid that few people would know of her existence.

Is Eli here to propose to Duke Black's daughter? But judging from Duke Black's expression, he doesn't seem too happy...

In fact, when Duke Black heard the butler come to report that Duke and Duchess Bruno and Dean Eli were coming to visit, he had a bad feeling. When he rushed out in a hurry and saw the gift boxes lined up half the street, his feeling became even stronger.

We had clearly agreed to stay out of the spotlight and come back next month, so why did it suddenly come forward? Isn't this trying to please His Majesty the Emperor?

He had just promised his daughter to Eli a few days ago, and I immediately gave my daughter to Eli as well. What's going on? Are we trying to fight over this? (End of this chapter)
