Chapter 1018 (1/2)
Gently push open the plate, Charlotte with some tired color on her face leaned lazily on the back of the chair, but her eyes couldn't help lifting up, and then sank down angrily.
The black haired wizard opposite was half lying and half sitting on the recliner with a relaxed face. On his left hand, there were unfinished snacks and wine. On his right hand, he turned over the scroll just sent by the court manager Charles, and his face was filled with a leisurely smile.
Outside the window are flying snow and silent courtyards, frozen ponds, and red blood Castle turned white in winter, a world wrapped in silver;
Inside the window are silk curtains and carpets painted with various patterns, prosperous fireplace and fluorescent chandeliers as bright as day, soft beds and sofa chairs, and heavy wool blankets.
Cold and hot, light and dark, only separated by a wall; Looking at the snow outside the window, enjoying a beautiful afternoon tea in a warm room, lazily and leisurely spending a short afternoon and a long night, and then enjoying the bacon and hot soup at dinner, it is indeed in line with the style of a standard ”Byrne aristocrat”;
But there is one problem
”This is my room.”
I don't know how long it took, Charlotte finally said, ”if you want to have afternoon tea, please go to the restaurant or go back to your own room!”
”The dining room is too big, and it will take a long time for the fireplace to heat up.” Lauren, curled up comfortably in the wool blanket and holding up the wine glass, said slowly:
”As for the Duke's bedroom... I gave it to Isaac.”
”Why?”
”Because he... Well, to be exact, Lina desallion wants to enjoy a time together without being disturbed - in the whole red blood Castle palace, only the Duke's bedroom has an independent bathroom, cloakroom and small restaurant.”
”So after careful consideration, I think I should make such a small sacrifice for my friend... You see, in fact, your bedroom is also large, and there is no problem sleeping with two people...”
”Don't get off the subject.” the countess interrupted with a cold face:
”Answer me, why do you have to come to my room?”
”So busy trying to drive me away?” Lauren was surprised and his voice trembled. ”You're so tired of me that you don't want to see me?”
”Twice at a time doesn't matter, of course, but the problem is all day and all night... And don't use that tone as if I had done something to you!”
Charlotte groaned angrily.
Since half a month ago... More accurately, after the ceremony, Lauren has been in a quite ”decadent” state, lying in bed or sofa day and night, dealing with everything listlessly, and enjoying the banquet and every afternoon tea listlessly.
This lazy posture is really a bit of ”Baron style”, which is also a routine routine of Byrne aristocracy.
But just because it was too ”normal”, it was very abnormal to appear in Laurent Turin - only to see Dalton kand on the rainy day, which seemed to restore him to his former state, and then continue to be ”decadent”.
Dinner, afternoon tea, visiting the garden, or just sit there and sit idle all day; Only think about three things a day - what to eat for breakfast, what to eat for lunch and what to eat for dinner.
And recently there is a trend to intensify, began to rely on their own room refused to go!
This guy, after all
”Actually... There's no special reason.” slowly, with a listless expression, Loren put down his glass and took the little cherry from the dessert plate with a fork:
”I just occasionally want to experience what it feels like to live leisurely rather than fight on the front line of life and death.”
In a word, the countess's doubts and grievances accumulated for a long time dissipated.
Centaur war, dwarf civil war, assassination night of red blood castle, envoy to fog moon court, battle of eboden
After getting the title of Duke, the guy didn't seem to be really free and enjoy everything that a lord of Byrne should have.
Even if the present leisurely life is not as good as the average value of Byrne's ”decadent aristocracy”, it is nothing compared with those drunken Knight kings in Byrne's history. Why do you feel so disgusted?
Is it really because you are too harsh? Charlotte was full of strong remorse.
The black haired wizard who didn't notice the change of the girl beside him still sat on the bench and tasted the fragrance of cherry in his mouth, making the sweet and greasy taste completely spread in his mouth.
Probably because of the honey stain, the original aroma of cherry was completely covered and sweet teeth fell off - of course, it was not considered by Duke Bain that the fruit in May and June could be eaten in winter.
”Suddenly I want to eat pickled ham.”
The lazy dark haired wizard whispered.
”OK, I'll get the kitchen ready.” Charlotte whispered, ”light the fireplace now. The restaurant should be warm at dinner.”
”Don't go to the restaurant, it's here.” the black haired wizard continued to ask.
”... yes.” after a moment of hesitation, Charlotte agreed: ”it seems good to have dinner watching the snow.”
”You'd better close the curtains. You can't see anything at night.” the black haired wizard continued to test.
The countess nodded, ”that's right. Let's start preparing now. We have to make room for the table.”
”I'm not going to get out of bed today.” the black haired wizard began to intensify: ”anyway, it's just the two of us, and we don't have to pack anything.”
”But there are only two plates under the dessert plate and bedside table... We want to eat with them?”
The countess began to doubt.
”It doesn't matter.” the black haired wizard smiled and looked up with a natural look on his face:
”You feed me.”
The voice fell and suddenly became much quieter.
Obviously, the fireplace is burning well, but you can still feel the temperature in the bedroom drop a bit.
The countess who did not say a word got up slowly, calmly walked to the wine rack behind her, gently stroked the fine wines she had collected for a long time - the dusty bottle bodies, and even felt the passage of time.
”Call -”
At the moment of the dark shadow, Loren almost instinctively completed the three movements of vigilance, dodge and block; When I returned to God again, I had a wine bottle in my hand.
”Don't push an inch there, asshole!”
Charlotte, who had been silent for a long time, finally roared like an explosion.
”Hey... I'm kidding. Don't take it seriously!”
”The devil believes you!”
”Well... It seems that only Ayn likes to say it.”
”Not from now on!”
”Then you must let me explain?”
