214. Annoying flies
Over the next few days, with the exception of the occasional visit from Yeles, Shaun declined all entertainment, including a small banquet hosted by Soma.
In fact, the original intention of this banquet was to introduce Sean to other allies who were attached to the Hastings family, so as to prevent some unnecessary trouble. At that time, because of Sean's refusal, the purpose of this banquet naturally ended in failure, so several small families, including the Yeros family, felt very arrogant and rude to Sean's behavior.
Although Soma was a little unhappy, it could only be attributed to the special temperament of the scholar.
At this point, Sean and Yelles are almost strikingly similar.
But what really surprised people even more was that Christina actually became Sean's servant.
In terms of appearance and temperament, there are only two people in Luo Mingen who can compare with Christina, but because of their background, they are still slightly inferior to Christina. But in terms of personal strength, Christina is definitely the first person of the young generation in the entire Lominen, even if it is Domingo's eldest son, Avi. Hasteen is no match for Christina either.
Therefore, when Christina came to Lominen, it immediately became a hot topic in the entire Lominen high society, and many young people fell under Christina's pomegranate skirt. Hastings is no exception. However, Sean knew that this information was indeed true, otherwise, it would be impossible for the Hasting family to arrange for Yeles to live in the main building of Hasteen Manor, and generally speaking, no matter how familiar an ally is, it is impossible for an ally to live in the core main building of a manor.
If the Hastings had no intention of marrying the Cassine family, Sean would not have believed it.
He is no longer as ignorant and ignorant as he was when he first came to this world.
With a young man as talented and talented as Christina, it is never a problem to become a golden powerhouse, and maybe even be able to step into the Sanctuary. For a Hasteen family who needs to be attached to others, a Sanctuary powerhouse is equivalent to giving them a ticket to become a dukeβat least. This is true in the Kingdom of Dabion, but not necessarily in an established kingdom like France, let alone powerful kingdoms that rival the strength of the Seven Empires.
But now, such a person who is also coveted by the Hasteen family has become Sean's servant, which makes many people a little unbearable, especially Avi. Hasting.
It's just that Sean doesn't have time to take care of this fly now.
Of course, it's not as good as saying that this guy who looks like a fly in Sean's eyes is really smart. He himself is not Christina's opponent, so naturally he will not have any idea of a duel with Sean, who can easily defeat Christina, this is simply self-inflicted humiliation. But during this time, he did what a fly should do. That's where Christina is, and he's there.
However, politely keep your distance, Avi. Hastings did a good job, and tried to conquer a woman with gentlemanly demeanor and aristocratic tolerance, which is indeed what some nobles are best at. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to have much effect on Christina. So in the eyes of Sean, who saw through Avi's actions at a glance, it was naturally a buzzing fly.
"What time does the restaurant order take you?" Sean pursed his lips.
"What restaurant?" Christina was a little confused.
"Of course, it's the restaurant where lunch is prepared." Sean said with a look of surprise. "Do you think I'm iron-beaten? Don't need to eat? How did you become a maid? β
"But...... You've been going back to the tavern for the last few days. Christina replied.
"Didn't I tell you in the morning, I'm going to taste the food at the House of the Stars today." Sean said with a serious face, "Today, a service attitude like yours is not good!" As a head maid, you must always record all the requirements of the master in detail and complete them with a perfect attitude. β
"But you didn't say this morning that you were going to dine at the House of the Stars." Christina argued. "When I went to look for you in the tavern in the morning, you came to the master's residence, and you didn't explain anything along the way."
"Didn't I say that?" Sean asked rhetorically.
Anno and Alfred wisely chose to shut up, and one of them closed their eyes to recuperate. One looks left and right, and no matter what, he just doesn't look at Sean, and he doesn't pick up Sean's words. As they have been following Sean for a while, they don't know where Sean is purely trying to play tricks at the moment, they just pray silently for Christina, as for speaking, they will never do it, because there is no way to answer this kind of question, no matter what, it will definitely offend another person, so it's better to shut up.
Under the influence of Neil, William, Alfred and others, Anno has now become much smarter.
"Absolutely! No! Said! Christina snorted.
"Dare to talk back!" Sean snorted coldly, "Tell me, what do I want you to do as a maid?" Aside from talking back to make me angry, what have you done these days like a maid should do? β¦β¦ As a maid, especially the head maid, you have to put the needs of the master first, don't I say you won't do it? What do you want? β
"I'm ......," Christina opened her mouth, completely unsure of what to say.
said that she was not a maid in the first place, but she really had to fulfill the bet of the duel if she lost, otherwise she was making excuses for herself. But if she is a maid, she really hasn't done anything these days, she just followed Sean to Master Rhoda's residence, and in the afternoon she chose to go back to Hasteen Manor instead of staying at Binx's wine house, which really doesn't look like a maid's behavior.
"Don't hurry up and order food." Sean snorted.
"I'll do it anyway." Avi couldn't stand it anymore, "I'm more familiar with the owner of that restaurant. β
"No, you don't!" Christina snorted coldly and refused Avi's kindness without hesitation, and at this time she even made Avi hostile. Then, before Sean and Avi could say anything, Christina had already left Master Rhoda's residence and set off towards the luxurious restaurant in the center of Loominen.
Sean glanced at Avi. sighed slightly in my heart: sure enough, the biological IQ during the estrus period was negative.
Christina's anger has obviously been provoked by Sean, and the wisest thing at this time is to shut up and accompany silently, rather than opening her mouth as if she is showing off something to solve the problem for Christina, because it will make Christina even more incompetent. After all, just now Sean had hinted that Christina, the maid, was simply an incompetent person through repeated emphasis, so when Avi said that, it would naturally make Christina think that Avi was also here to laugh at him.
It's really strange to have a good feeling in this situation.
I have to say, Avi. Hasteen was actually a very handsome person.
He has curly blond hair and very handsome features, full of a unique heroic spirit. Because of my origin. In addition, since childhood, there has been deliberate cultivation and training in the direction of successors, so Avi. Hasteen exudes the same military aura as Domingo, and Sean can keenly feel that Avi's body has a very faint smell of blood, which obviously means that he is a person who has really been in battle, not a greenhouse flower like Christina who has also killed people.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this. That's why Avi was able to block Christina's Soul Slash.
With good family affairs, excellent strength, unique charm, and handsome appearance, Avi is naturally admired and favored by countless women in Luo Mingen. The only pity is that. It's that Avi is not really a talented genius. And there is no good coach, otherwise the Hastings might really be able to carry forward in Avi's hands - provided that he can win the competition for the head of the family, of course.
"Your Excellency, don't you think it's a bad thing for you to do this as a nobleman?" Avi looked at Sean with undisguised hostility in his eyes.
"Do you have a hole in your head?" Sean didn't answer the rhetorical question.
"What?" Avi was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding the meaning of Sean's words.
"I mean, did you break your brain in a duel with someone else?" Sean explained emphatically.
"Your Excellency. Are you insulting me? Avi's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.
"If your brain is not broken, then what attitude do I have to use to talk to my maid, do I need to be taught by you?" Sean sneered. "Not convinced? Let's duel! If you can win against me, then I'll dismiss Christina as a maid, and if you lose, I'll just be missing an errand runner. β
This time, Avi's face was not as simple as a slight change.
As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, then it shouldn't be a big problem to become the head of the Hastings family in the future. But if he agrees to this duel with Sean, but loses to Sean, then in order to take care of the face of the Hasteen family, no matter how good he is, he will not be able to become the head of the Hasteen family. If the victory between him and Sean was at odds, maybe he would have tried it, but through his observation of Sean these days, Avi had no confidence in defeating Sean at all.
Just one of Sean's inadvertent leaks of killing intent made Avi feel like he was in an ice cave, a sense of despair that couldn't afford to fight back at all.
Of course, with Avi's way of thinking, he would definitely not know that Shaun did not inadvertently leak it, but put a shadow on him completely. If Avi can't break through this shadow, then his achievements in this life can be completely ruined.
Weakening the enemy's strength unknowingly, Sean likes it the most.
"What? Don't dare? Sean sneered, "As a man, being cowardly to this extent is the only time I've ever seen it in my life, and I thought you would at least have a life-and-death duel with me for a fight." β
"Huh." Avi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly, "Sometimes the way to solve a problem doesn't necessarily have to be a duel. In terms of personal strength, I admit that I am indeed not your opponent, but in terms of future growth, I do not think that I will be inferior to Your Excellency. β¦β¦ Remember today, because one day you will regret the rapidity of your tongue today. β
Hearing Avi's words, Sean was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that the guy in front of him was so calm, he was no longer as simple as slapping his face, and it could even be said that he stepped on his face with his foot, but he was still able to admit that his strength was insufficient, and even if Sean won the duel with him, he would not win. And judging from the implication of his words, it is obvious that this guy intends to compete with Sean for family heritage and strength, and when he becomes the head of the Hasteen family, then Sean will offend the entire Hasteen family.
This is the performance of a truly scheming aristocratic child.
If Sean is really just a nobleman of Dabiang, then I am afraid that he will really regret his words and deeds today. But in fact, Sean is not a nobleman of Dabion at all, and it can even be said that when the all-out war starts soon, it is unknown whether the Hastings family can keep it, and Sean naturally has no reason to be afraid.
"I think it should be Your Excellency who will regret it." Now that the words have been said and done, Sean doesn't plan to hide anything anymore, "You'll regret being my enemy." β
"Really?" Avi sneered, "I'll see." β
With that, Avi showed the temperament of a future count: he turned around with disdain on his face, and left the residence of Master Rhoda.
"Why do you bother?" Alfred shook his head helplessly, "This guy can calm down so much, and the future will not be easy." β
Sean replied in a low voice: "Anyway, it is Soma who is now in charge of Luo Mingen's affairs, and my affairs with him can only be regarded as a personal grudge, so even if Soma knows the way, he will not interfere." β¦β¦ Moreover, he is from Nugus's side, and I don't need to grieve my emotions, this fly has been buzzing around for the last few days, which is really too much of an eyesore. β
"Well, I think so too." Anno made a rare personal opinion. (To be continued......)
