Chapter 18 Sleepover

The Falling Star Manor was quiet and peaceful at night, but unlike the near-dead silence on other nights this month, the Falling Star Manor tonight, in addition to the insects that have never been interrupted since the beginning of the summer, can still hear The crisp sound of pots and pans slamming against each other, and the sound of dishes cooking and frying in the pan.

Vivian, Liz and Linda were carefully preparing dinner that was at least two hours late.

The reason why it is so much later than usual is because Xu Yi has returned from the Falling Rain Valley today.

Although he was going to attend the banquet hosted by the Lord of the City, he clearly informed Vivian and the others, saying that he might not be able to eat much at the banquet and would come back here to fill his stomach.

So Vivienne and the others simply postponed their own dinner, estimated the time, and felt that the dinner at the City Lord's Mansion should be over soon before they really started to prepare dinner.

Although this Falling Star Manor was given to Xu Yi by President Cruise as a gift for his engagement with Steele, and Xu Yi also used it as his new residence after he and Steele got married, in fact Xu Yi I spent most of the month with Steele in the Falling Rain Valley, and never returned to live here.

Since Vivienne is still studying at the Baron Rictor Academy of Magic, it is not convenient for him to go back and forth 60 kilometers every day with Xu Yi to the Falling Rain Valley, so Xu Yi left her here to live, and took Liz and Lin together. Da, the two female slaves brought back from the Principality of Standing, also stayed to accompany her.

The three have lived in the Falling Star Manor for more than a month, and have long been accustomed to everything here, but they live very comfortably and comfortably.

"Hey. Anise. Can you go outside and see if the master is coming back soon?" Vivian saw that all the dishes were almost finished. He shouted to Yanis, who was leaning against the door and was forced by Vivian not to interfere in the cooking.

Yanis turned her head and glanced at the darkness outside the door, then looked back at the kitchen, where she really couldn't help. She hesitated for a while, then responded, and just as she was about to turn her head to go out, a pair of long pointed ears suddenly rang out. After shaking for a while, there was a hint of joy on his face: "The president has returned." Then he became suspicious again. "Strange. Seems like he's not alone."

"Really? The host has brought guests back?" Vivian glanced at the apparently overly rich dishes in the kitchen, but was not panicked, and asked, "Can you hear how many more people there are?"

The expression on Yanis' face was even more puzzled: "I brought a guest here. From the sound of footsteps, it seems that she is still a girl."

"Girls?" Vivian was a little strange now. "Sister Steele clearly accompanied Stasha and the others to Anweimar City. What kind of girl will the master bring back?"

"I don't know." Yanis shook her head, thought for a moment, and guessed, "Maybe it's the new lover met by the president? I heard that this kind of thing seems to be normal for a relatively high-ranking human being."

"Maybe..." Vivian looked hesitant. "But I don't think the master should be such a person..."

After thinking about it for a while, Vivian shook her head vigorously: "Don't worry about so much, even if it is the master's lover. That is also a guest. Liz, Linda. You stay and take care of the last few dishes, Anise, we Go out and meet your master."

Only when Vivian and Yanis walked out of the gate of the manor, they saw two figures walking out of the darkness and falling into the light of the two high-hanging magic lamps outside the gate of the manor.

Vivian's eyes swept across Xu Yi and fell on the Princess Caroline beside him, her eyes widened in surprise, and she whispered, "Wow, this girl is as beautiful as Sister Steele, Is it really the master's lover?"

Yanis glanced at Princess Kalinda, but looked puzzled: "Really? Why do I think she is far less pure than Miss Steele. From the aesthetic point of view of our elves, this girl is not beautiful at all. Ah. The president's vision won't be so bad, right?"

Vivian looked at Yanis in amazement, not understanding why she would make such an evaluation of the suffocating girl next to Xu Yi who was as beautiful as Steele, and immediately thought that this should be the aesthetics of the elves. After all, it is different from humans, so I did not argue, and hurriedly greeted it.

"Master, you are back." Vivian smiled sweetly to Xu Yi.

"Yeah." Xu Yi nodded, looked at Yanis who was following behind, and asked strangely, "Yanis, why are you here today? Weren't you still in the Black Rice Wasteland a few days ago? "

"The matter on the Black Rice Wasteland has temporarily ended, so I will report back." Yanis replied with a smile, and then nodded to Princess Caroline: "President, who is this human lady?"

Seeing that Vivian was also curious, Xu Yi introduced to the two: "This is the Princess Caroline from the Duchy of Drake. She is here to represent the Duchy of Drake and our new flight. The Chamber of Commerce will discuss some cooperation matters."

Yanis nodded, but there was no special reaction. After Vivian heard that this girl was actually a princess, she couldn't help bending her legs and wanted to give a big gift.

Xu Yi grabbed her, frowned and said solemnly, "Vivian, have you forgotten that I have explained it to you many times?"

Vivian was startled, then her face flushed, and she lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sorry, master, I forgot for a while."

Xu Yi shook his head and said to the somewhat inexplicable Princess Caroline: "His Royal Highness, this elf girl is called Yanis, and she is the exterior designer of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce Design Institute, this human girl. The name is Vivian, and she is also the exterior designer of our chamber of commerce. Most of the household magic machines produced by our chamber of commerce are designed by the two of them together.”

Princess Caroline looked at Yanice and Vivian in surprise: "Oh my god, I've always wondered who designed the beautiful appearance of those magical machines, but I never thought they were designed by a beautiful elf. Miss and the same beautiful and lovely human girl completed, I was so surprised!"

Yanis didn't have any special reaction, but Vivian blushed and said nothing.

"His Royal Highness. You don't seem to be very surprised to see the elves? Are elves very common in the Duchy of Drake?" Xu Yi asked.

"No. There have been no elves in our principality for hundreds of years." Princess Caroline shook her head. "But since I saw those novel magic machines, I started to pay attention to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and President Xu. I know that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has close ties with the elves, and the chamber of commerce even employs a lot of elves. , so it's not surprising. Of course, this is the first time I've seen a real elf since I was a child, and I'm actually quite pleasantly surprised."

"Really?" Xu Yi laughed, not paying much attention, and motioned Princess Caroline to enter the manor.

By this time Liz and Linda had dinner ready. After seeing the sumptuous dinner on the table, without Xu Yi's invitation, Princess Caroline offered to propose that she hadn't eaten anything at the dinner party at the City Lord's Mansion, hoping to taste these sumptuous dishes.

Of course Xu Yi couldn't refuse, so he sat down with Princess Caroline.

Because of the presence of an outsider like Princess Caroline, the atmosphere at the table was a little dull at first.

However, Princess Caroline's communication skills are obviously extremely superb, and she easily mobilized the atmosphere at the dining table by asking Vivian how to design the appearance of those magical machines.

A late dinner was finished in a cheerful atmosphere, and then Xu Yi led Princess Caroline to choose a guest room, and then asked Liz to lead her to bathe and change.

While the Princess Caroline left. Vivian asked Xu Yi curiously, "Master? Isn't this princess your lover?"

The sip of water Xu Yi was drinking almost spit out, looked at Vivian in astonishment and asked, "What lover? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Instead, Vivian looked puzzled: "If it's not your lover. Why would she follow you back to your residence alone? Isn't that weird?"

"Don't talk about you, I'm still weird myself." Xu Yi waved his hand angrily.

After the previous conversation, the Princess Caroline said to Xu Yi before leaving, see you for a while, he still didn't understand what it meant, but when he finished the conversation with Earl Stark and was about to return to the Falling Star Manor to rest, the card However, Lord Lorraine appeared again accompanied by Earl Stark, and then greatly exceeded Xu Yi's expectations, expressing that she hoped to stay overnight at Xu Yi's manor.

The reason she gave at the time hoped to be able to discuss the cooperation between the two parties in detail tonight with Xu Yi, but Xu Yi agreed without thinking too much.

But when Xu Yi found out that she actually followed him into the carriage alone, and Anduin didn't come at all, no matter how obtuse Xu Yi was about matters between men and women, he knew that there was definitely a problem.

But today he is clearly meeting this Caroline County Lord for the first time, why did she do this?

Xu Yi thought that he was not so attractive yet, and he could make a dignified princess who met him for the first time fall in love with him to the point where he wanted to show his love to him.

"What about tonight?" Vivian was a little stunned. "If she's not your lover, I think Sister Steele will be unhappy that you've brought her home."

Xu Yi was also stunned, and asked back: "You mean if she is my lover, Steele won't be unhappy?"

"Yeah, with your status as the master, it's strange not to have a lover." Vivian said as a matter of course: "Sister Steele told me last time that if you want to find a lover, you must find those who are beautiful enough. Yes, otherwise she will feel embarrassed. This Princess Caroline is very beautiful, and I think Sister Steele will be very satisfied."

"What a mess." Xu Yi shook his hand vigorously. "Steel is just kidding you. If I really found a lover, believe it or not Steele hacked me to death in minutes?"

"Sister Steele won't be so fierce, right?" Vivian patted the small breasts that had gradually developed, and said with some fear: "I plan to wait until Sister Steele returns and immediately tell her what happened tonight. She's happy, it's not like that."

Xu Yi couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Okay, just treat her as an ordinary guest. Anyway, after tonight, I'm going to the Falling Rain Valley, and she won't be here for a few days. Just try to keep as little contact with her as possible in the future, so as not to cause trouble. Thiel is angry." Xu Yi thought for a while, then stood up and commanded: "I'll go to the study, don't let anyone disturb me. By the way, Anise, come with me, I have something to explain to you. "

Yanis responded and followed Xu Yi to the study.

Behind her, Vivian looked at Xu Yi's back, and then looked at the direction in which Princess Caroline was bathing, with a puzzled look on her little face.
