Earl Adair stood up, and three hidden bodyguards disguised as maids protected Queen Draudine from three directions, while Princess Chrysanthemum and Queen Plum Blossom stood in front of Aya.

The Orchid Goddess pulled the string calmly, and the string turned pure blue in her hands.

"Get out of the way." The loud voice echoed throughout the space, and then the four men in black moved away to the sides.

Leaning on a pure black cane and wearing a military uniform, the old man limped in.

"Sorry, Your Majesty."

"Calcius!" Delaudio stood up abruptly, staring at the strong but weak man in front of her, and uttered an unbelievable voice.

"I will apologize later, but now Bernadette Dante is no longer a staff member of the Bamboo Moon Pavilion." The old man said in a flat tone.

"Now, she is already a member of my Laurent family. If she haunts such a place again, it will damage the reputation of my Laurent family." He said, and then coughed twice, and then, the wrinkled face The old man's voice suddenly eased.

"Bernadette, come home with me."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Step aside."

The cold voice reverberated in the room. Although it was not as loud as the sentence just now, it had a majesty that made people tremble unconsciously.

Princess Chrysanthemum and Queen Plum Blossom stepped aside, and Goddess Orchid also silently relaxed the strings.

The person who said that - Aya Tiamat spoke calmly.

"It's nothing to you, just keep playing."

"Yes."

Let her continue to play, and it really started to play, and the melodious music echoed in the room, but there was no other sound.

Except for Aya and Meredith, who started to play, everyone looked nervous.

Holding Zhuji's hand tightly in her hand, Bernadette was frightened when the other party broke in just now, and Aya subconsciously held her hand.

Slowly raising her head, Aya calmly looked at the man in front of her.

This is a man whose age is difficult to define, with short gray hair, scabrous wrinkles on his face, and slightly trembling ankles even with a cane, he looks like he is seventy years old.

However, his tall and straight figure, broad back and resolute expression made him look like a young man in his thirties.

"It's so similar, it's annoying." Aya said softly.

"What do you mean?" Zhuji was frightened at this time, but she still heard Aya's words.

"It's nothing, it just reminds me of a nasty old man." Aya smiled at Zhuji.

In fact, their looks are not similar, but in terms of temperament, they are exactly the same as that person.

Although the old man is very old, but his eyes are still young, his eyes are still firm and terrifying, as if he could violently kill someone at any time - his father...

Shaking her head lightly, to get rid of unnecessary distracting thoughts, Aya refocused her eyes on the old man.

"Duke Purple Eagle?" She asked lightly. "Break into other people's banquets without authorization, is this the etiquette of the Laurent family?"

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became tense. In any case, Aya's words were too provocative.

Calcius Laurent stood there silently for a long time.

"Take it."

He handed the cane to the bodyguard next to him, and bowed to Aya.

"What!" Delaudio subconsciously shouted.

That bow was very deep, almost ninety degrees, and it could be seen that sweat was already protruding from the old man's forehead.

"This is the greatest apology I can express to you." Standing up, Duke Laurent said. "Dear steel-ranked adventurer, I hope you won't have a bad impression of the Dragon Kingdom because of my rudeness."

As the highest-ranking nobleman in the country, this behavior is no longer an apology. More importantly, the target of Duke Laurent's apology——Aya just sat calmly, and she didn't even stand up.

"However, I hope you can let go of my 'wife and concubine'." Re-posting the crutches, Duke Laurent said. "She is no longer a prostitute."

Why, doing this to such a degree for a concubine who just started, even bowing and apologizing, Delaudio showed a surprised expression.

Calcius Laurent was the one she watched growing up, and Delaudio knew clearly that he was definitely not this kind of person.

The prime minister drank tea silently, with a calm expression, as if he hadn't seen the farce in front of him at all.

"Bernadette, when is your birthday?" Aya said without answering the other party's words, nor letting go of Zhuji's hand. "Probably another week."

"Yes, yes." Bernadette nodded subconsciously.

"Then, Your Majesty the Duke of Purple Eagle, what you did did not comply with the rules."

On the day before the oiran turns sixteen, there will be a big event that absolutely belongs to her for the first time—or she decides to marry on that day, in short, it is the day before her birthday.

"That's just an unwritten 'hidden rule'." Duke Laurent said.

Unwritten rules, that is, if you break it, you break it.

"Hehe." Aya laughed.

Her voice was so mocking that Duke Laurent's bodyguard almost stepped forward.

"You are going to do something to her, aren't you?" said Duke Laurent.
