Chapter 305: I'm Back! Ⅰ
The Emerald Capital, the home of the Javier family.
In the front hall, the servants were busy, and the old butler was even more serious, knowing that when night fell, the Javier family, as the military underlord, would hold a banquet to celebrate the Havier family's youngest daughter, Leni. Javier's coming-of-age banquet.
As the youngest daughter of Havel, the military undersecretary, this banquet was naturally grand.
Not only the nobles with heads and faces in the Emerald Capital, but even the royal family sent corresponding people to the banquet.
Of course, the enthusiasm of the people, in addition to giving face to the military undersecretary, was more to hear the news released by the military undersecretary that he was going to choose a husband for his little daughter!
The beauty of the youngest daughter of the Javier family is famous throughout the Emerald Capital.
Therefore, all the young people who did not marry and thought they were qualified enough came to this banquet, and the Havel family gave out more than 300 invitations to the banquet alone.
And the young heroes of the entire Emerald Capital began to gather here.
Even though it was still a long time before the banquet began, some people who were eager in their hearts had begun to appear outside the Javier family mansion, quietly waiting.
The carriages represent many of the big names of the Emerald Capital.
There were chancellors of the Exchequer, vice-ministers, and ministers of war, as well as carriages of a dozen counts and viscounts.
And after seeing the big people represented by these carriages, they came one after another, and the young people who were originally full of confidence began to drum in their hearts.
"There are so many people?"
"Lenny. Miss Javier has a peerless countenance. So many people. Quite normal! ”
"And. The main thing is that the character is gentle and kind! ”
"It's a pity we don't have a chance!"
The young people whose identities are not enough to compare with the big names at the front are full of melancholy.
"The big guys in front aren't necessarily all for Lenny. Miss Javier should have come for the sake of Lord Javier's face! ”
A sudden voice rang out from the crowd.
Many young people subconsciously looked at the person who spoke, and when they saw the age of the other party, these young people immediately laughed.
"How old are you? Also come to participate in Lenny. Miss Javier's banquet? ”
There was a slight mockery in the statement.
However, the man didn't care at all, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course I won't do it for Lenny. Miss Javier participated, and I came simply because of Lord Javier's face! ”
"The things of the 'big guys'. It's not about us! ”
After hearing the explanation, the young people around them immediately spoke, looking lonely.
"I'm just running errands for the 'big guys'! To put it simply...... It has nothing to do with me! ”
The man glanced around, and immediately replied.
Suddenly, such words aroused the favor of the young people around him, plus the other party was not a potential competitor, and he could speak well; Therefore. After a simple greeting, the people around quickly became one; Some things about the banquet began to be talked about.
"The biggest contender this time should be the eldest son of the finance minister's family, right?"
"Uh-huh. It must be that guy from the Bora family! ”
"What a strong opponent, not only the eldest son of the financial vice-minister, but also the deputy head of the Central Knights!"
"Deputy Master of the Central Knights? Scold! ”
A contemptuous laugh appeared, and the surroundings immediately corresponded.
If it was the first hundred years of the founding of the Jade Empire, the Central Knights would undoubtedly be respectable, but with the passage of time, it had already become a place for the children of wealthy merchants to find a way out and the children of nobles to gild.
After all, even the head of the knights is just a big knight of the Central Knights, which is really going to laugh to death.
"However, if Bokots and Lord Javier's family marry, the situation seems to be different!"
Amidst the laughter, the middle-aged man who had just joined the small group suddenly said.
"Yes! After all, Lord Havel is a military undersecretary! ”
"Bokoci, that guy definitely doesn't really like Lenny. Miss Javier's, he's for that dirty right! ”
"That's right, that's it!"
"Never be able to put Lenny. Miss Javier handed it over to that guy! ”
"Absolutely not!"
……
The young people were excited, and the middle-aged man retreated silently towards the crowd, and when he was out of the crowd in the real sense, the middle-aged man turned around and ran, at a fast speed, but the impatience in his heart made him want to have wings.
"Damn, shit! You must inform the adults of this news as much as possible, otherwise it will be too late! ”
Middle-aged man, the former tax collector of Horshshire: Lauder.
In order to share their worries, when the group was resting in Horn Town, they took the initiative to come to the Emerald Capital to find out the news first.
It's just that Lauder himself didn't expect him to find out such important news.
After running to the city gate, pulling out his hidden war horse, and throwing a copper fee to the soldiers next to him, Lauder turned over his horse, whipped the horse hard, and rushed towards the town of Horn.
……
In the backyard of Javier's mansion, in Lenny's room.
A white dress is hanging on the hanger, and the ironed long skirt is more and more elegant and chic.
However, Leni didn't even have that long dress at all.
She's quickly packing her belongings - she's leaving Javier's Mansion and the Emerald Capital to find Dean in Vaubonshire!
This is the decision that Leni had made yesterday after learning about the so-called birthday party that her father had prepared for her.
It's just that, in order to be secret and not to be discovered, even if Leni prepares quickly, the real speed is very slow.
But, fortunately, today was the day of the feast, and her father and brothers had no time to pay attention to her. It made her speed faster for a moment.
A suitcase woven of wood and rattan. Two changes of clothes. The relics left by the mother, as well as enough Kimpton.
That's all Leni saluted.
In fact, the first two were completed very quickly, and the most important two, the last two, were completed today.
The relics left by his mother have always been on her dresser, but every time his father notices them, he can only take them with him when he leaves.
And Kimpton?
Lenny said sorry to her two brothers from the bottom of her heart, just hoping that they would see their little vault looted. Not to be too sad.
"Miss!"
The loyal servant whispered to Leni.
"Let's go, Uncle Hawke!"
Lenny replied, and then, turning to look at her room again, her eyes began to moisten, and she muttered to herself, "I'm sorry father!" ”
The palm of his hand tightly grasped the relic left by his mother, a necklace mixed with gold and copper.
Feeling the unique hardness of the necklace, Leni wiped the corners of her eyes and resolutely turned around.
He and the servants carefully bypassed the maids and guards, and Leni was helped by the servants. Climbing over the courtyard wall of Javier's mansion, the dark skirt corners flickered on the wall.
"Uncle Hawke. We need to leave before the gates close, and then we need to go to Horntown for a few hours to rest, and then we need to rush straight out of Yorkshire, and only by leaving Yorkshire will my father's power really weaken! ”
Leni crouched in the corner and whispered her plan.
"The horses are ready! Please follow me! ”
As Lenny's mother's servant, Hawke would never refuse Lennie's request - just as this 'leaving home' would never dare any servant do.
Because this would definitely be hanged by Lennie's father.
However, Hawke was definitely not afraid of these.
He took out the gray cloak that he had prepared long ago and put it on for his young lady, and then, with his young lady, ran straight towards the place where he had hidden his horse.
It was half a city from Havel's mansion - the backyard of a tavern.
Four well-groomed horses are gaining momentum.
Bite!
A Kimpton was handed over from the servant to the owner of the tavern.
The diminutive tavern keeper nodded and escorted Lenny and the servant away, and then, as soon as he turned, ran towards the place appointed by the other employer.
Inside a sentry outside the Central Knights.
From outside Javier's mansion, hurried back to Bokoci. It was here that Bora met with the owner of the tavern.
"Are you sure it's the young lady?"
Expressionless, high-minded Bokoci. Bora stared at the man in front of her, her thinning hair swaying as the Deputy Head of the Central Knights leaned forward.
However, the cold lip line and fierce eyes made the tavern owner not laugh in the slightest, but nodded and said again and again in fear: "Hawke! I recognize Hawke! ”
"It's because you know Hawke that it's useful!"
Bokoci. Bora threw out two Kimptons and waved at them.
"Lenny! Leni! Your departure like this will definitely make Lord Javier sad...... If something happens, it's even more regrettable - but don't worry! As the deputy head of the Central Knights, I will definitely let you return safely! ”
It seems that some proudness has been thought of in mind, Bokots. Bora couldn't help but chuckle.
Then, the deputy head of the Central Knights, stood up straight and walked outside.
"Here's a team, I need to get out of town!"
The deputy head of the regiment said as he walked, with an indescribable ease in his expression.
As for anxiety?
That, of course, is not at all.
After all, the two Kimptons he paid before were definitely not as simple as ventilating the news.
Among them, there are other functions.
For example: give a horse some medicine or something.
