Hakata, the capital of flowers

Everything here is different from Talia. When Camelia stepped into the city, she realized that it was completely opposite to the gray city wall she had just seen outside.

All that comes into view is bright red, and the small flower baskets on the window sills of every household are reflected on the gorgeous walls painted in colorful colors. Although it is a bit vulgar, it still makes people excited.Although it is still winter, the Blackton Market in Bodo is still very lively, and the businessmen are in full swing.The bazaar is crowded with people, and there are moving heads everywhere, so Thalia, who is well-planned in the city planning, suddenly joins Camelia, who is the bazaar at the gate of the city, very uncomfortable.

Instead, it doesn't look like a capital city, but more like a noisy small town where merchants from all over the world gathered on the border and some exiles and soldiers mixed together.

"This is the characteristic of Bodo, isn't it?" The Grand Duchess raised her eyes to look at Katie on the opposite side, with a hint of cunning in her eyes: "Every item in the house is carefully selected by the hostess, which means that the house is The taste of the hostess is equal to the taste of the hostess. I don’t know if every visitor will feel the good intentions of the host’s family from the bottom of their hearts.”

"Although I don't think it was Mrs. Milia's original intention, Mr. Bo Luotan published an article in the "New Sun" after his visit to Bodo last year, and praised Bodo's planning and design. Mrs. Kari Weijia The newly built annex of New Kilo was designed with this seemingly chaotic concept.”

"Hehe, that's interesting. Maybe Miria moved a golden mountain for him, so that this self-proclaimed artist activist can give her face." She paused, as if thinking of something: "Kari Weijia is a How can a serious person do such a stupid thing...Go back and find that report for me, I want to see how he touted the Countess's creativity."

"I obey..." As she was speaking, Katie's eyes seemed to be fixed on a certain point outside the window.

Camelia followed her gaze, and at that moment, a familiar blond hair jumped into her eyes, and the figure wrapped in a white shirt and wine red riding boots and trousers seemed to touch a certain point on her body, her whole body The pores of his body dilated, and the blood rushed straight up along the instep.Her pupils dilated alone, speechless in shock.

"Master, it's Mrs. Milia." Katie obviously realized that her master had identified the wrong person, and reminded her aloud.

Milia...

Oh yes, it's Milia.Camelia suddenly realized this, and came back to her senses embarrassingly.She subconsciously rubbed the corners of her eyes, only to feel her scalp tense, as if there were moths flapping their wings inside, which made her feel a dull pain.

"There is no need to stop here."

Katie tapped the door rhythmically, and the carriage continued on.

It's just that Camelia still had some reluctance to throw her peripheral vision at the golden color until it disappeared from sight.

"Although Mirja and Ofe are both blond, but at that moment just now, I was a little dazed, and I didn't know who I saw. Miriya and Mirja are sisters, even if they look like it, it's not surprising. But I don’t know why there is a shadow of Offie in my mind, which flashes by.”

Katie said sternly: "Now the only one who can really help Madam is General Lancelot."

Camelia nodded: "Have you prepared the materials for Ryefield Mogo? Anyway, the Earl of Containwys is the son-in-law of that old fox in name, is he willing to help us decide what to deal with later? To a certain extent, even though Dulam has already taken this job, I still think there must be something related to Thalia. It is not a comfortable thing to be kept in a secret by others."

While talking, suddenly the carriage darkened, they passed through an arched door, the coachman tightened the reins, and the horses screamed and stamped their feet on the spot.After the car stopped, Katie opened the door.The butler of Contain Weiss bowed his waist and saluted. Camelia looked forward, tightened her jaw slightly, and took the hands from Katie and Irina.

"Your Majesty, on behalf of Bodo, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you." The butler greeted you with a smile, speaking fluent official standard language of the four continents.Camelia glanced at him from the corner of her eye, her eyes drifted to a room on the second floor in the southeast direction, and she nodded slightly.

"I am Bodo executive Charlhas, and I am listening to your orders."

Katie stepped forward to return the salute gracefully, and introduced herself: "I am Catherine, the chief attendant of Talia."

Long before Camelia and her party arrived in Bodo, Thalia's herald had notified Contain Weiss House of their arrival in advance. in the book.Because the earl was not in the city, the butler on duty today, that is, the executive officer, came to greet him on behalf of the master.

"Your Majesty the Duke must be very tired from the journey. Please take a rest. We have informed the master of your visit. I believe he will come back as soon as he receives the news."

"Then it's up to you, Your Excellency..."

While the two were arranging a meeting, Camelia's voice floated over faintly: "Is the countess at the house?"

Charhas stopped what he was doing, turned to face Camelia and said respectfully: "Madam has not come back yet, she is in the city to supervise the building. If you have something urgent, I will send someone to inform Madam now .”

"No, I'll just wait for them here."

Under the leadership of Charles Haas, Camelia waited for the return of Contain Weiss in the arranged lounge.Irina was by her side, and Katie went with Charlehas to the kitchen to arrange lunch and other things.

She stayed until ten o'clock in the evening before Milia came back.

When she heard the news of Camelia's visit, she seemed to be quite worried. She naturally guessed the reason why Camelia came to Bodo. , and could vaguely see the tired look on her face.

It really deserves to be the capital of flowers. In Dominica, a land that is not very rich, the price of rare spices has always been as high as sky-high.But in Hakata, all these seem to be like the gifts of nature in the families of farmers who rely on farming for a living.Even Camelia, who has never been very interested in food, feels how important it is to recruit a good cook.And the basic condiments for cooking are not just relying on salt and wine to make incomparable delicacies.

"What makes our hostess look ten years older?" Camelia put down the knife and fork, took the handkerchief, pursed her lips, and opened her mouth lightly.

"...I just, never felt so helpless. You know, I'm used to being in control of everything." The hostess smiled reluctantly.

Camelia sighed, and stretched out her hand to hold her slender wrist, "You wanted to stop her, but you forgot that she was still a mother."

"You're right. I don't have any children, so I never thought it would be like this. I regret that I didn't go to Thalia myself, but wrote a letter and had it delivered to her." Same as a few months ago Compared with the previous meeting, although Miria sitting in front of her is still so elegant and beautiful, her brows are full of sadness and haggardness that cannot be concealed.Her voice is thin, like a piece of paper that is easily torn.

Such an opening was a bit embarrassing, so Camelia changed the subject. "Maybe it's just Mirga's private matter, and she just doesn't want us to know. You know, even though I can still sit here quietly and dine with you, it doesn't mean that's the case in my heart." She trailed off. It was very long, "But as an adult, I believe she would have thought about it before doing this." Camelia tapped her forehead lightly with her fingers a few times.

"And...you can rest easy for the time being. I have already made a favor with Lancelot. I believe that with the help of the Yinye family, Mirjia and Fran will return safely."

Milia's eyes widened, "You mean, Lancelot is willing to help us? But isn't Sir Lancelot being demoted to the south by my king..."

"I'm asking Oliveira."

"..." The beautiful countess lowered her eyes and didn't speak for a while, she just wiped her hands with a silk cloth in silence.

"If it's him, maybe he will bring Mirga back from him." Camelia's words seem to have some effect, like a starlight in the boundless darkness, guiding the lost lamb in chaos. To give up hope.

"Who is he?"

"I only saw him once in my father's study." Milia adjusted her emotions, her eyes gradually became serious. "That person has the air of the north, tall and majestic. Even though I know that Mirja has deep affection for you, it is undeniable that she is the most suitable to stand beside him .”

"To be precise, Mirja is still too immature now. If she is 40 years old, standing next to him is the most ideal state." Regarding the emotions floating in Camelia's eyes, Miriya saw all the emotions in her eyes inside. "That one, with the deep aura like a king, his gaze is like the starry sky at night, as if everything in his eyes is just scattered light spots in the bright galaxy. Even if he is far away, he can't help but feel a burst of pain in his body. Trembling, that oppressive feeling that makes you surrender instantly, like a giant que, tearing the earth apart even without a sharp blade."

"I don't intend to offend, but to be honest, for example, if Mirja is a sharp sword that has been sharpened, and this man's broad mind is the scabbard that can hold everything." Miria's lips moved. , looking away from Camelia. "I once had a dream. In that dream, Mirga was drenched in blood, standing alone on the battlefield where the battle had ended, surrounded by... Her eyes were so empty, she looked at me, as if she was begging me I can go to her side, but I can't take a step because of fear."

After listening to Milia's statement, Camelia smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Yeah, I'm still too impetuous. It's because I can't give Mirja enough sense of security that she will be so self-willed and yelling at me in places where I can't see. I can't catch him now, But as long as I still hold the spool in my hand, she will definitely come back to me." Her eyes were narrowed, and there was a hint of chill in her smile.

Milia just shook her head, she knew Camelia too well.

"That man won't hurt her. If I'm not mistaken, he seems to need Mirja desperately for something."

"No matter what kind of person he is, quietly taking my wife away from my house may not be glorious after all." Camelia smiled.

"Hmm..." Miria was about to say something when a maid came over and whispered in her ear. "Carly, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. The earl has already returned. I know it was hard for you to come here from Thalia. I can help you arrange the meeting until tomorrow."

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. If possible, I still want to meet the Earl sooner."
