The lanterns are on.
Cavendish Manor, which had been silent for a long time, gradually became lively with the influx of guests.
The girl was sitting in the master bedroom of the mansion that once belonged to her grandparents, arranging her makeup in front of the dressing table.
"Lord Earl, has he agreed?"
Hearing this, Yu Gongxi protested dissatisfied:
"Frey, don't call me count! Call me lady!"
Frey burst into laughter.
"You have to get used to it quickly... Miss."
"Hey, that sounds much better."
Amemiya Xi gently parted her bangs, revealing her smooth and white forehead.
"It's so tiring to act like a count every day, and I have to remember so many people's names. Why don't my parents want to have another child? I really don't want to be an adult..."
She seemed to remember something, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"Speaking of which, that funny guy, although he said he was very respectful, actually didn't take me seriously at all."
"Do you mean Lord Peter?"
"That's right. He doesn't seem to care about his status. How can I put it... It's like everyone is equal in his eyes."
Frey recalled his interactions with Peter so far, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"I tested him today, but he said he came from the Northern Continent. Maybe he is a descendant of a declining bloodline."
Yu Gongxi didn't care about this, but asked:
"He and the Hogwarts magician really fought with the knight who defeated the death witchcraft all night?"
As a trainee high priest of the Church of Order and Holy Spirit, Amamiya Yu was certainly aware of the terrifying power of yesterday's necromantic alchemy.
Harry was able to save her not only because of the shield and the cross pendant.
It was even more because Yu Gongxi was carrying a life-saving magic item.
Eighth level.
But even so, Harry was still injured under all layers of protection. The shape of death that covered the sky was definitely comparable to the legendary ninth-level forbidden curse.
It only took Galen more than ten seconds to destroy the thing with the help of his soul.
This kind of knight is so proud that there are not many opponents in the entire continent.
So Peter and Harry, who could fight him for a whole night, wouldn't they be 50-50 equal to the top experts?
(↑This is purely a wild guess between two people, please refer to the facts)
"For the price of two hundred gold coins a month, I hired two people who are definitely not weaker than the general royal guard commander and the great magician. I'm missing out."
Frey nodded. Now that the Cavendish family is in Aknaits, he is actually the only one who can work.
The other servants and guards died in the snow in the canyon.
"So he didn't agree?"
Mentioning this, Yu Gongxi wanted to laugh.
"He said it's impossible to work part-time..."
"You have to pay more."
"Huh?" Frey was stunned.
"He seems to have a friend who is a gangster and wants me to help him get Ron's citizenship. I agreed."
When Frey heard this, his brows jumped and he quickly advised:
"Miss, although he helped us save our lives, his origins are unknown after all. If his friend causes anything in the future..."
"So what, you think I can't fix it?"
Amemiya Yu gently lifted the black silk stockings from her toes and across her calves. The lines were slender and soft, enough to hold in a hand.
"I don't think he has bad intentions. How can I put it... Well, I can't tell. Anyway, this guy is strong enough and saved my life. I just happen to be in need of a guard right now... The most important thing is, It’s quite fun to be with him.”
"Well, he's a little handsome, isn't that enough?"
Frey was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

.........
A middle-aged man who looked 70% similar to Albert was blocked at the entrance of the manor by a fat man, his face ashen.
"Richardano, what are you doing here? Loser~ This is Cavendish's territory——"
The fat man danced an abstract dance and said:
"Listen up Richardano, the Cavendish family is throwing a great party tonight, and all the top people in Aknaits will be attending, but guess who won't be invited?"
The fat man was half squatting on the ground, pointing at him with both hands, his expression disgusting.
"You~~~"
"Go home like crazy, Richano, or you'll stay and wash the dishes for us, haha, go get mad~"
Richano was hard.
The fist is hard.
He was the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Wyndham and the heir to the richest family in the city. This was the first time in his life that he met such a fat man who was so indebted.
But he came with a mission and had to endure it.
"Can you please inform me that on behalf of my grandfather, I would like to talk to the Earl to resolve the misunderstanding between us."
Hearing this, the fat man stretched out his hand:
"Stop talking nonsense and come to the party. Where are the souvenirs?"
"Of course I have them. You two can bring your things up." Richardo directed his servants to bring two boxes over. "A small gift is not a sign of respect."
The box was opened, and a golden light instantly lit up the night.
Each box is half a meter in diameter and is too heavy for one person to lift. It takes two people to carry it in. There are mountains of gold coins inside, probably no less than 5,000 in one box!
In the social etiquette of Ron, and even other countries in the Southern Continent, when the host's family holds a banquet, the guests must bring souvenirs to the host, otherwise they will be considered as uninvited guests.
But the usual souvenirs are gifts or food. The nobles are more high-end, popular jewelry or works of art, and very few give money directly, let alone 10,000 gold coins.
This is not a gift, this is an apology.
Tadokoro Konno suddenly beamed.
"Hey, you four move the box in, put it there, just put it there, don't press it!"
Richano felt contempt in his heart, but he still put on a very friendly smile on his face. He walked inside and said, "Well, tonight..."
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"
Tadokoro Konno stopped him again.
"You've given me souvenirs, and you still want to go in to the party? Why do you take advantage of all the good things? Go out and go out."
"?"
Richano is red and warm.
"Are you him-"
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked from behind and flew out.
"Uncle!!"
It turned out that Prince Satili had arrived, and not only had he arrived, but a huge vehicle frame was also following behind him.
"Guess what souvenir I brought you?"
"What?" Tadokoro Konno saw that there seemed to be a huge sculpture tied to the carriage.
"A homemade stone carving given to his little wife by the second brave man! It's more than a thousand years old! It's said that it also contains the second brave man's treasure!"
"Holy crap!" Fatty was shocked, "Where did you get this thing? Isn't it too expensive?"
If this sculpture were to be auctioned, it would cost more than 10,000 gold coins.
"Damn, from now on we are all a family, no matter how much money we talk about." Satili hugged Konno and walked towards the bustling manor, "It didn't cost any money, we moved directly from Albert's old house. "
Everyone was talking and laughing, and when they entered the manor, they didn't forget to close the door.
"Hey, who was the person you blocked in front of me just now?"
"Irrelevant."
.........
at the same time.
In the wine cellar of the manor.
Harry held a bottle of red wine that had just been sealed and solemnly explained to Peter:
"Remember, this bottle of wine is just for two glasses. The top half of the bottle is poured to the prince first, and the bottom half is poured to Amamiya Yu. Do you hear me? Don't get confused."
Peter couldn't understand why one of his jobs at Cavendish was to pour wine.
"What difference does it make?"
"The bottom half just looks like wine, but it's actually drinking water I mixed."
A top Hogwarts student who is proficient in everything except attack magic and has a perfect score in Potions said:
"The top half is the real wine. I used bubble magic to separate it in the middle. I pour it separately so it won't mix."
"Ah? Why do you do this?" Peter asked doubtfully, "Is it possible that our Lord Count has a bad drinking ability?"
"I don't know, but old Frey told me that Amamiya Yu should not drink alcohol, otherwise it will cause serious problems."
Peter understood.
Harry handed him the wine, which was the last bottle of Romanee-Conti left in the Count's winery after it was ruined by Galen.
"Don't shake it, hold it steady, do you hear me?"
"Brother, don't worry about doing things."
