The Duke in the Spire of Thorns

"Good day."

Escrito greeted him softly, and Celeste raised his eyelids and gave him a polite smile, "Good day."

His businesslike attitude made Escrit frowned, but the smile on his face was still very elegant and decent. As Escrit was about to say something, Celeste walked away from him without hesitation. pass.

Although Celeste tried to avoid it, he finally met the "Marquis of Smedley".

Escrito has completely changed, he is different from the person in Celeste's memory.

He was wearing an exquisite court dress, and his new heavy boots tightly wrapped his calves. His slender, pale fingers were slightly closed, and he was holding a beautifully crafted cane. ring.The corners of the lips are raised, and the demeanor is graceful, with the usual casualness of the superiors, the eyelids are downcast, and the smile is not a smile.

Escrit simply stood there, but no one dared to underestimate him.

Celeste turned to the beginning, this person was so strange that he felt at a loss.

He pursed his lips tightly and walked in indifferently. The gorgeous clothes on his body were his cold armor. Celeste walked past them without squinting. The minister nodded.

After a brief audience, the banquet specially organized for the envoys of the Ossi Empire began.

This banquet had been prepared a long time ago, and it was jointly discussed and prepared by Neuss and Celeste, but since neither of them had any experience in preparing such banquets (in fact, this is usually the work of the queen), it is hoped that Lester went home and turned to his mother.

After reviewing the general plans of the two, this noble lady from the East organized the entire banquet by herself. She lived at home all year round and rarely went out to socialize, but she was unexpectedly capable, and every link was arranged to perfection .

"That's how my future queen should be."

Standing in the magnificent hall, Noyce whispered to Celeste, "Does your mother have any nieces? I think..."

"I suggest you go and discuss this matter with my mother."

Celeste was expressionless: "I have never written with my cousins, and I don't know if they are interested in marrying over."

At the banquet, Noyce and Celeste didn't have a short time to take a break. They had to chat and laugh with the envoys, and use gorgeous and tortuous words to test each other. Celeste was surrounded by the most people. He stared at the famous Duke Ulysses with an amiable and friendly attitude.

As the leader of the mission, Escrit was standing beside the king to discuss with him about Celeste's journey.

He changed from being submissive and docile before, and became smooth and tough, "Please don't worry, we are fully capable of ensuring the safety of Your Excellency the Duke, so you don't need to send soldiers to escort you."

"Your remarks are ridiculous."

Noyce said coldly: "You want me to leave the Crown Prince of the San Pedre Empire unprotected? Will the Aussian Empire be willing to hand over their crown prince to us for protection?"

If it were another envoy of the Aussian Empire, Noyce would never express his dissatisfaction so bluntly, but now, standing in front of him is Escrit, and his impression of Escrit is still there. On that humble servant who was obedient to Celeste.Now, he felt the other party's naked malice from the other party's remarks, and subconsciously felt the unhappiness of being offended.

But soon, Noyce came back to his senses. Escrito stood in front of him, still with a faint smile on his face. He didn't speak, and his expression was noncommittal.Noyce looked at him, full of anger in his chest, and forced a smile: "Please forgive my rudeness just now, I will consider your suggestion."

"I hope you can think about it carefully."

Escrit spoke briefly to Noyce, then walked towards Celeste.

He was the focus of this banquet other than Celeste. His past and his current identity were a topic worth talking about. He smiled and walked to Celeste.As soon as he approached, all the people around Celeste left, as if there was some tacit understanding.

"Would you like to talk to me?"

Escrito's easy-going attitude was completely different from his performance in front of the king just now, but Celeste didn't know it.He really wanted to turn around and leave, but reason made him show a formulaic smile: "I'm honored."

He answered businesslike.

"During the time I was away from you, I missed you very much. I wonder if you miss me?"

Escrito said abruptly, and Celeste was a little caught off guard by this question. He bent his lips and replied gracefully: "Thank you for your love. Naturally, I miss you too. Your work was excellent."

Escrit paused, then deftly poured a cup of tea from the table beside him and handed it to Celeste: "I remember this is your favorite drink, please use it."

"Thank you very much." Celeste only touched the rim of the cup with his lips, and then put the cup back, "It tastes as good as ever, I feel very honored that you can remember my trivial little preference. "

No matter what Escrit said, Celeste's attitude was still so official. He dealt with his former knight commander gracefully, as if he had completely forgotten that this was his former servant, and cooperated with him from time to time. words with a smile.

His attitude was completely different from what Escrit had expected. Escrit had guessed the scene of their meeting before. His master might be dissatisfied, indifferent, or even awkwardly happy, but In any case, the meeting scene that he previewed in his mind was sweet.

The scene he saw when he used another body to lurk next to Celeste made him extremely happy, and the fantasy in his heart was even sweeter, but now, Celeste's alienated performance made Escrit start from fantasy. When Zhong came back to his senses, his face was a bit ugly, but Celeste pretended not to notice.

Escrito took a step forward and held Celeste's hand, "You are really ruthless."

"I'm sorry, which aspect are you referring to?"

Celeste tried to withdraw his hand, but Escrit held it tightly. He tried several times but failed, but even so, he didn't frown, just said lightly: "You are impolite." Now, I think you may be drunk, I will let the waiter take care of you."

The expression on Escrit's face became more gloomy, but in the next second, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he directly clasped Celeste's hands, leaning over and kissing them.

Faced with this unexpected situation, Celeste did not raise his eyes, "There are so many people watching, I think you are really drunk."

"Of course they can't see it."

The two of them are now in the corner of the entire banquet. After hearing Escrit's words, Celeste raised the corners of his lips, and his tone finally became a little emotional: "It's those wonderful little tricks again, isn't it? See Come on, I have to take a high look at you."

But soon, he suppressed this emotion to the bottom of his heart again. Even though his emotions were so complicated that even he couldn't tell them clearly, he still perfectly concealed them.

In any case, Celeste is still a qualified nobleman after all.Similarly, he also has the common problem of high-ranking nobles: he will never give up his control, and giving up control means bowing to another person, so no matter how much he desires, as long as the control is not in his hands, he will He will pretend not to care.

Clearly, in his relationship with Escrit, he had lost his right to call the shots.

Now, he was cold and polite, like he wasn't the one who secretly cried because he missed the Knight Commander.

Eskrit stared at him in silence. The envoy of the Oskar Empire came with hope, but was treated indifferently again. He couldn't laugh anymore. The two were relatively silent. In the end, Eskrit Still hoarse, Te asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Say it, tell me all your dissatisfaction with me, as long as you are willing to say it, even if you only frown, I will change it for you.

Celeste lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, "What I want to say is that you may not be able to tolerate alcohol very well. I suggest you drink less alcohol in the future, otherwise it will be unpleasant to lose your composure on other occasions." thing."

"...Ah, I see."

A smile appeared on Escrito's handsome and pale face, "Thank you very much for your reminder, I will pay attention."

He took a step back, with a gloomy look in his emerald green eyes, "Looking forward to our next meeting."

Escrit's voice was soft, but with an unspeakable emotion, he repeated again: "Looking forward to our next meeting."

Celeste clenched his fists quietly, the expression on his face was still decent: "Me too, the conversation with you was very pleasant."

Escrito's red lips curled up, but there was no emotion in his eyes. He took a few steps back and left.

Celeste always looked at ease at the banquet, but after the banquet was over and he locked the bedroom door, he walked into the dark room, lifted the white cloth covered by the oil painting, and looked at Esk quietly for a while. A portrait of Ritter, then weeping as he hugged his black leopard.

The pure black leopard could barely see its outline in the dark room. It gently rubbed against Celeste, and a few human emotions flashed in the golden animal pupils, but Celeste didn't notice it at all.

It opened its mouth gently, and its white fangs silently revealed a bit of ferocity in the darkness.

Suddenly, it twitched slightly.

... This body is about to break down.

The author has something to say: before meeting people: crying secretly when reading letters

After meeting people: Arrogant and easy to play bureaucratic

After parting again: Looking at the portrait and secretly crying

No matter how much you like the arrogant aristocratic young master after losing the right to call the shots, he refuses to show it (such a poor little bastard)
