"Can't bear that kid?"

The old man said the second half of the sentence for Anna, and said with a sneer:

"Think you can flirt with me freely in St. Mary's College, but once you leave and join the Silent Agency, you won't have this opportunity?"

"..."

Anna didn't speak, but the meaning was very clear.

How can I be willing to leave him when my love for my junior is overflowing?

"Oh...you girl."

Looking at the Chinese cabbage that he had been raising for ten years, just like that being dodged by that golden pig, the old man's eyes showed a trace of helplessness and depression, and he continued:

"Actually, I also made up my mind based on your relationship with that kid."

"Ok?"

Anna cast her eyes in doubt, a little puzzled about the relationship between them.

"Ah."

The old man suddenly looked out the window and smiled contemptuously, "You must not have forgotten the identity of that kid."

"identity……"

Anna moved slightly, and then reacted immediately.

The man she was thinking of was Moon Campbell.

He is the only son of the Duke of Campbell, and the future is almost certain for the Duke.

And most importantly, due to several generations of single inheritance, the Campbell's family has become the only die-hard royal family among the great aristocrats.

That's why, as a bond, he has a marriage contract bestowed by the emperor himself with the famous princess of the empire.

"A marriage contract..."

Anna murmured softly, followed the old man's gaze, and turned to look out the window.

On the roof not far away, in the twilight sunlight, that silver-white figure stood gracefully.

Like being shrouded in the spotlight by nature, Her Royal Highness just standing there quietly is enough to fascinate anyone.

"It's so beautiful." Anna sighed softly.

And as if feeling something, the silver-white girl suddenly turned her head and looked at the girl in the carriage a few blocks away.

This seemed to be the first time the two met their eyes, and there was no killing intent, let alone any special meaning.

It looked so peaceful.

Just like the sea without a breeze.

But the old man's smile suddenly narrowed, and he said:

"Girl, as I said just now, it is quite normal for Moon Campbell, as the future Duke, to have several lovers."

"but--"

"The position of the only duchess... don't you want to fight for it?"

[WEB] 7. Different trends

"Ann, good... Long time no see."

After several struggles, Mu En still bit the bullet and walked into the carriage to meet the meaningful eyes of her personal maid.

An still looked dignified, wearing a close-fitting maid outfit, sitting there with her waist straight, her hands on her knees, and every movement was as elegant and precise as if measured by a ruler.

"Jiu, not long ago, didn't we just meet a few days ago? But the young master..."

An's eyes fell on Mu En, and he said with a half-smile:

"Why is the young master wet all over?"

"Ah, this..."

I can't tell you that I just jumped into the river on my own initiative to cover up something...

Mu En forced a smile and said:

"It's not because I thought I was too happy to see An, so I took a shower before coming here."

"Oh? Young master taking a bath...why are your clothes soaked?"

"This...wouldn't it be more solemn to wash the clothes together!"

"Really? But why..."

An Xiaoqiao's nose shrugged, her eyes swept over Mu En's body, and then she glanced at the distance outside the window, and said with a smile:

"I always feel that there is a strange smell on the young master~"

"Varied……"

Mu En trembled and almost jumped up in fright.

I didn't hesitate to destroy my image, and I jumped into the river with the eyes of those silent people who looked at the lunatic, and I could still smell it. Is your nose better than that of the snake man?

But he still forced himself to calm down.

Experience told him that the more it is like this, the less you can panic.

The more you panic, the faster you die!

"Yes...it's perfume, An. The smell you asked about is probably the perfume smell left on my clothes." Mu En said with a straight face, talking nonsense.

"The smell of this perfume...is it really unique?"

"Natural, unique and normal, haha, normal."

"..."

An squinted and stared at Mu En for a long time, and the atmosphere in the carriage fell into a stagnation.

In this cramped low pressure, when Mu En felt her heart beating faster and almost couldn't hold back, An suddenly smiled,

"Why are you so nervous, master? As your personal maid, do you think I will doubt your words?"

"No... No, of course not. I also believe in Ann unconditionally. You are one of my closest people." Mu En wiped the water from her forehead and said.

"It really makes An very happy to hear the young master's words."

An was full of smiles, and from her dignified and beautiful face, there was a rare shyness.

But then, her expression became serious.

"Okay, don't scare the young master anymore, I'm here for a serious business."

"What's the matter?"

"There are two things. One is that earlier today, there were many nobles in the palace, and they suddenly sent a lot of gifts."

"Gift...why at this time..."

"The people in the palace said that it was a reward from His Majesty in recognition of the outstanding contributions made by the Campbell family during this crisis.

As for those nobles, they usually sent them away, but this time there were more suddenly, but they were all sent back according to the previous handling method. "

"Outstanding contribution?"

Mu En raised her eyebrows in surprise, a little puzzled.

What outstanding contribution?

In this incident of the Campbell family, the duke led the army and the duchess raised the baby in the countryside. It cannot be said that they did not contribute, and it was simply irrelevant.

In order to save the senior sister, he plunged into the center of the whirlpool by himself.

But he didn't mobilize the power of the Duke's Mansion either.

And from the moment she saw so many silent people around her, Mu En understood that what she had done, in the whole huge wave, was not a turn-around, at most it was icing on the cake.

Even without him, there is a high probability that the evil god's plan will not succeed.

Nothing will change...except for the fact that the senior may really die.

Well, and the moon could probably struggle a bit more, too.

However, in any case, what Moon has done cannot be called an "outstanding contribution."

Not to mention……

I just came out of the fog of the dark moon, and the gift from the palace arrived earlier than me, so the timing couldn't be right.

"I heard that after this incident, many nobles in the royal capital have suffered heavy losses." An reminded with a hint.

"Is that so...?"

Mu En was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted.

Thanks to His Majesty's wonderful operations, Belleland's noble faction suffered a major blow this time, and I am afraid that they will not be able to jump around again for a long time.

As for the Campbell family, because of their status as a hard-core royal faction, although they did nothing, they did not lose anything. Coupled with the stability of the imperial power, they gained inexplicably great benefits under the ebb and flow.

Although it may be even more envied in the future.

"It seems that the population is not busy, which is also a bit of an advantage."

Mu En sighed with complicated emotions.

Generally speaking, the more noble the nobles were, the more they hoped for the decline of imperial power.

But among the great aristocrats, the heresy of the Campbell family happened.

After a few generations of single inheritance, the family members are not prosperous, so they naturally lose the biggest means for the nobles to form parties for personal gain - marriage.

After all, there is only one Duke of Campbell, and only one son of the Duke of Campbell. You can't expect the two of them to marry dozens of noble daughters, right?

It is precisely because of this that the Campbell family can only rely on the power of the Duke of Campbell to gather a large number of small and medium nobles and turn around to become the head of the royal family faction.

"Now that I think about it, after that incident in the original book, Moon Campbell was demoted to a commoner, and his fate was miserable. Even the Duke's House was not allowed to interfere. It must not be as simple as it appears on the surface. There is a high probability that other nobles are pushing it."

Mu En thought to herself.

After all, many people don't want to see a high-ranking duke who is so close to the royal family, and even wants to marry the royal family.

However, for such a bad behavior of mine, I gave the princess to that, and made such a big fuss. In the original book, it was just that the original owner was demoted to a commoner, and the status of the Campbell family itself was not shaken at all. Campbell Family Trust.

"Huh? Wait, that's not right."

Mu En suddenly thought of something, raised her head and said in doubt:

"It doesn't make sense why the palace would suddenly send something over at this juncture. Isn't this intentional to bring hatred to our family!"

"Regarding this point, when the people from the palace brought the things, they also brought a message."

Not knowing if it was an illusion, Mu En suddenly felt that An's tone was uncharacteristically weird.

"What?" Mu En asked curiously.

"they said……"

After settling down for a while, he said sourly:

"Let the Duke's Mansion start preparations. A few months later, the engagement ceremony between you and Princess Celesia, young master."

[WEB] 8. Two kinds of happiness

"puff……"

After listening to An's words, Mu En almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He stared at An with straight eyes, and said in a trembling voice:

"Wh... what? You said an engagement... an engagement ceremony?"

"correct."

Ann nodded and said:
