Who told him to rush up there?

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, Eli woke up early. After moving the black silk legs that were pressing on his stomach, he took off the cat tail wrapped around his arm, and then he got out of Jessica's facial cleanser.

It can be seen that everyone's sleeping posture is not very good, and he is more normal. As long as he holds the sweet and soft one, it will be fine.

Eli's action of getting up obviously woke up the others. Although it was still early, several girls got up with him. Even the little princess Lina who was lazy in bed frowned and forced herself to get up.

Because Eli was going to leave today, and he was going to the distant Elf Empire, and he couldn't even set an exact time to go home, so no matter how sleepy they were, they had to get up to see their men off.

"Let's go, wash up, have breakfast together, I'm leaving."

Eli patted Cecilia's round and perky buttocks, and was the first to leave the room in her coquettish voice.

When everyone had finished their preparations and were heading to the restaurant, they met Eleanor walking with Alyssa on the way. They both got up early today, and it seemed that they were afraid that they would not be able to send their elder brother (Eli's younger brother) off in time.

The breakfast afterwards was very dull. Even Cecilia, who usually loved to chatter, was unusually silent. Jessica, who was usually the coldest, hesitated several times, which attracted Eli's attention.

"Jessica, do you have anything to say?"

Eli put down his knife and fork and asked Jessica with a puzzled look.

"If the master is gone for a long time, what will happen to sister Garcia?"

Although Jessica and Garcia were childhood sweethearts, their relationship was just average, far less close than that with Cecilia, but she had heard the master say that he would visit Garcia's house next month and even propose marriage.

Now that the master has left, the time is uncertain. It is not far from next month. Jessica does not want the master to break his promise to others, especially to his own woman.

Eli was quite surprised to hear this. He had agreed with his future father-in-law to go to the Duke of Black's mansion to propose marriage next month, but His Majesty the Emperor, the other father-in-law, did not know about it. This time, he was appointed to the Elf Empire as an envoy. It was obviously a temporary decision. It was impossible to do it to interfere with his other engagement.

But this official business is likely to collide with personal matters. If someone else makes the choice, then the official business is definitely more important, and personal matters can be delayed.

But for Eli, what is the diplomacy between the two countries? Can it be as important as his lifelong event?

Calculating the time, if he can go early and return early, it is actually in time, but Eli recalled his previous life and found that the festival of the Elf Empire ended at the beginning of next month. If he wants to get the last blessing of the goddess of life, he may have to postpone the day to meet Gabriella.

Although he and Duke Black only agreed to go next month, and did not say the beginning of the month, he could have delayed it until the middle or end of the month, and Duke Black would not have found fault with it, but Eli did not want to do so.

Because Garcia was also a very important woman in his life, one of his wives in his previous life. If Lina and Evelyn were his new loves, then Garcia was his old love. Eli never liked the new and disliked the old, and it was impossible for him not to consider Garcia's feelings.

Since he said he would go to see her next month, it must be scheduled on the first day of next month, so that he could show his importance to her, and this time could not be postponed!

But it could be advanced...

The reason why he set the time for proposing to Garcia next month was to avoid the heat of his engagement with Princess Lina. He could only arrange a marriage after this storm passed, otherwise there might be rumors, and the old emperor might be unhappy.

But now this appointment was appointed by your Majesty the Emperor, and it just happened to delay my marriage. Although I am partly responsible for wanting to take advantage of the blessing, my father-in-law should take 99% of the responsibility, right?

Since it's all your fault, don't blame me for making you unhappy...

"After dinner, go to Uncle Black's house first, and ask the housekeeper... No, Cecilia, you go and prepare the generous gifts yourself. Don't care about the gold coins, even if you have to empty the old man's coffers, you have to prepare enough gifts!"

Elai was actually a little embarrassed, because he did ignore the conflict between the blessing and the marriage proposal at the beginning. It's not that he didn't value this marriage, but he was not qualified to go to the elf festival in his previous life. He was quite surprised when he was suddenly appointed before, and he almost missed the big thing in a rush.

Fortunately, Jessica reminded him in time, and there was still a chance to make amends. In his opinion, between the two possibilities of making the old emperor unhappy and making Garcia unhappy, he would choose the former without hesitation. For the sake of his wife, he could only let his father-in-law down...

Although Cecilia used to be a little jealous, Eli was still relieved to leave important things to her.

She was jealous, but she wanted her master to be happy. She would not make mistakes in such a big thing. If she was asked to prepare the betrothal gifts, she would definitely do it generously and would never lose his face.

Eli's decision was absolute, and no one would object. Although this would make them have another sister, compared with Garcia, except for Jessica and Cecilia, the others were latecomers. How could they not accept the first one?

After that, everyone hurriedly ate breakfast, and Eli went back to his room to change into the most luxurious dress. This time he was going to propose marriage, so he had to dress more formally.

While Cecilia was preparing gifts, Eli quickly went to find his father and mother. Although the marriage proposal did not necessarily have to be handled by the parents themselves, it was best to have them present, otherwise it would not appear solemn. .

Knowing that their son had postponed his schedule and had to go to Duke Blake's Palace to propose marriage first, Duke Bruno and his wife were quite helpless, but they could not object vocally. After all, their son was an adult and this was his own private matter. It was not that his parents could not control it, but It's best not to mess around.

Although Duke Bruno wanted to say that business matters were important and he could not delay the official work assigned by His Majesty the Emperor for a woman, he understood his son's character and it was useless to say this to him. It would only cause conflicts between father and son.

It's better to help him get things done quickly, at least in time to set off at noon or in the afternoon, so as not to really delay the trip.

You must know that sending an envoy to the Elf Empire is not a small matter. The empire did not just send Eli alone. He was just the official envoy of the empire. There were two deputy envoys and a large group of envoys under him.

With Eli's identity, it was natural for him to decide the departure time of the mission. Yesterday, he had already agreed with the envoy to leave today. Although the exact time was not set in detail at that time, the mission must have arrived early. Be prepared.

Just at this moment, the missionary who came yesterday came again, precisely to inquire about Lord Eli's exact departure time.

Eli's original plan was to leave early in the morning and arrive at the Elf Empire as early as possible. After all, the teleportation magic circle could not lead directly there. He had to "change trains" several times along the way. There was still a long way to go to the outside of the Elf Forest on his own. , if you set off at noon or later, you will most likely have to travel through the night or be delayed for an extra day.

But he was determined not to leave at this time, considering that instead of being forced to rush on the night journey in a hurry, it would be better to just wait for one more day. Anyway, the Elf Empire still left some time for the envoys from various countries participating in the festival, but it was late. It won't be able to delay important events for even one day.

"We will set off at two o'clock in the afternoon. We will first arrive at the Principality of Moko through the teleportation magic circle. We will rest in the Principality for one night and then we will go through the Elf Forest and arrive at the Elf Imperial Capital early the next morning."

Eli dismissed the envoy with just a few words. Although his arrangement seemed unreasonable, he was the official envoy. When the mission came to him, he had the final say.

After seeing off the ministers, Cecilia, who was sent to prepare the betrothal gift, also came back after Duke Bruno and his wife changed into formal clothes.

Looking at the clouds of servants behind her and the long series of gift boxes, even without looking at the gift list, Duke Bruno knew that their family was bleeding heavily again.

Eli lost a lot of money when he and Princess Lina got engaged, and no matter how much gift money he received, he couldn't make it up. Now when he goes to propose marriage to Grazia, the betrothal gift he has prepared is not to mention more than what he had prepared for Princess Lina. The cost of the engagement banquet was at least three times the betrothal gift for a serious duke-level noble marriage.

In the future, when Eli gets officially married, his family must not be handed over to Cecilia. This is a serious spendthrift...

Duke Bruno was very distressed at the fact that three floors of his family's treasury were taken away, but Eli was very satisfied with Cecilia. This is called grandeur...

"Then let's go to Uncle Blake's house now. Don't beat the gongs and drums along the way. We have to keep a low profile."

Eli said and ordered the servants to carry the gift box and go directly to Duke Black's Mansion.

With this kind of pomp, it is no longer possible to keep a low profile... Duke Bruno thought heartbrokenly.

Sure enough, even if Eli and his party just went to the streets quietly carrying gifts, the residents along the way and even the noble children passing by were still shocked by them.

Although it is impossible for them to see through the boxes to see the value of these gifts, but these gift boxes are all inlaid with gold, there is no way they can contain stones, right?

There was such a long line of people carrying heavy gifts tied with red silk. Unsurprisingly, they must be betrothal gifts for someone.

Which family's children are so proud and willing to pay such a heavy betrothal gift, just to marry a princess...

Of course, this refers to marrying a princess from another country. If it is Princess Lina of the Dawn Empire, the betrothal gift alone is not enough, you also have to be able to beat that guy Eli.

Just look at the young man in the middle of the team. He looks pretty good, but I don’t know how many punches he can take from Eli... Wait, what the hell? Isn’t this Eli? ?

With Eli's current popularity, it is quite difficult to find a few people who don't know him, especially among the aristocratic children, almost everyone has been severely humiliated by their parents with Eli's magic photos. The face is really impressive, almost to the point where you can still distinguish it even if it turns to ashes.

Even ordinary civilians cannot recognize Eli, who has nothing special about him except that he is handsome, but looking at the very conspicuous girl with cat ears next to him, he can guess their identity by guessing.

She has a pair of fluffy cat ears and is so ridiculously beautiful that she completely fits the image of the person in the legend. Who else could the young man be who can walk side by side with her?

Good guy, are you taking your wife to hire a side wife? I have never seen this kind of operation before...

The engagement party between Eli and Princess Lina has been held a long time ago. This appointment will definitely not be for the princess. Besides, they are not going in the direction of the palace. As long as you are not stupid, you can basically guess that Eli is Making a fuss.

Princess Lina is not even angry. She is still smiling. She is really not afraid of anyone competing with her for favor...

Uh... but no one should have the courage to compete with Princess Lina for favor, otherwise the emperor would probably teach her how to write the word "death".

But... besides Princess Lina, how come there are several other beauties around Eli? These are Eli's concubines? Aren't they afraid of Princess Lina? They are still talking and laughing with her.

And... why are there children here? Does the law of the empire really not apply to Eli? He is suspected of occupying an underage girl!

On the contrary, the Duke and Duchess of Bruno who were walking in the front were ignored by people. After all, a noble lady and a noble lord are not as eye-catching as handsome men and beautiful women. Eli and his group are the scenery.

Unconsciously, many people followed Eli and his team, mostly some idle noble children or random people who were keen on watching the fun. They wanted to see who the betrothal gifts were going to be sent to, and who was so unlucky... uh, so blessed that Lord Eli took a fancy to them.

Fortunately, they didn't walk too far. Not long after, the large group of people in front stopped. The curious people took a look and saw that the front was the Duke of Black's Mansion, which was also a first-class wealthy family in the imperial capital. Eli, who was born in the Duke of Bruno's Mansion, was a good match.

I had heard that the Duke of Black had a beautiful daughter, but she rarely went out in the past, and naturally rarely interacted with other noble children. Everyone knew very little about her. If it weren't for her being a priest and going to the Holy Mountain of the Church every once in a while, I'm afraid few people would know of her existence.

Is Eli here to propose to the Duke of Black's daughter? But looking at the face of the Duke of Black, he didn't seem very happy...

In fact, when the butler came to report that the Duke and his wife of Bruno and Dean Eli were visiting, the Duke of Black had a bad premonition. When he ran out in a hurry and saw the gift boxes lined up half a street, his feeling became even stronger.

We clearly agreed to stay out of the spotlight and come back next month, why did you suddenly bring it forward? Isn't this trying to seduce His Majesty the Emperor?

He just promised his daughter to Eli a few days ago, and I immediately gave my daughter to Eli too, what's going on, is this a fight? (End of this chapter)
