After being addicted to alchemy, the lady was kneeled down and licked by the Duke

Chapter 48 The invitation from the Duke of Pomegranate (please vote)

Early the next morning, Li Aili opened her eyes and found another pile of small flowers on the pillow.

It's just that compared to the single color of the previous two days, the flowers this time are colorful, red, blue, purple, yellow...

Li Aili was silent.

Good guy, have you learned not to catch a sheep with hair?

Pepe, you can do it, you are already a mature Pepe.

However, the results did not change.

A group of female tree spirits roared furiously outside the window, "Pepe!!! You little bastard!!!"

Li Aili lay by the window enjoying the beautiful morning scenery.

The woods to the west have grown visibly to the naked eye, the trees are more lush, and the area seems to be larger.

Take a deep breath of air, smelling of the fresh vegetation unique to the forest.

How many days have the dryads been here? Sure enough, racial talent is the most terrifying.

Flocks of birds flew from all directions and made their homes in the forest to the west.

Pepe 'led' a group of extremely violent female dryads, who 'whistled past' under her window.

"Good morning! Sister Ellie!" The little guy ran and raised his head to greet her.

Li Aili waved her hand, "Good morning, Peipei, be careful ahead!"

But she still said it was too late.

Peppa bumped right into the gardener's gardening tools and dropped them.

The female tree spirits smiled extremely ferociously. They swarmed up and tied Pepe with vines into a 'silkworm chrysalis' with only her little head exposed.

Then, he carried the unlucky child back to the West Forest like a wild boar.

When passing by Li Aili's window, they smiled beautifully again, "Good morning~ Aili."

Li Aili waved her hands stiffly, "Good morning, everyone, hahaha..."

She couldn't let the female dryads discover the pile of flowers on her bed!

And, very kindly and silently in his heart, he made a "light seal" on the naughty child Pepe, hoping that the God of Light would protect this child from being beaten to death.

During breakfast, Li Aili came to the North Restaurant as usual.

When she opened the door, she almost didn't recognize it.

The long ornate banquet table in the restaurant is gone, replaced by a small but cozy round table.

But it was still covered with expensive tablecloths woven by elves.

The Duke sat calmly at the table and read the newspaper.

"What happened to the original table?"

The Duke calmly turned over a page of the newspaper and said, "The castle has been infested with termites for the past two days. Last night, the table leg broke."

Li Aili: "..."

I am used to long banquet tables where two people are five meters away from each other, but it feels particularly awkward to use this small round table.

She always felt that if she straightened her legs a little, she could touch the Duke's long legs.

The footmen put a sumptuous breakfast on the table.

Conrad waited for Li Ellie and the Duke to put down their knives and forks, then walked forward with a silver tray.

There was a letter on the tray, along with a letter opener.

Li Aili asked tangledly: "Conrad, when will the new table in the restaurant arrive?"

Conrad: "What do you mean, ma'am?"

Seeing Conrad's confusion, Li Ellie was also confused, "I mean, the table here was eaten by termites, why didn't you order a new one?"

Conrad said: "This round table is a new table. The material is dragon blood wood and the craftsman is Master Kaka."

Li Aili: "..." I didn't ask you this...

Dragon blood wood? oh! It turns out to look like this!

"No, wait, I mean, aren't we going to change back to the original long banquet table?"

Conrad smiled, "No, madam, the termites in the castle specially eat long tables that are more than 2 meters long."

Li Aili: "……………………"

Li Aili looked at the man beside her expressionlessly.

The Duke pushed the unfolded letter in front of Li Aili just in time.

"A letter to me?" Li Aili's attention was diverted and she picked up the letter.

[To Arthur Leng Jade:

I sincerely invite you to my birthday party this year, please come.

Your friend, Brandon Garnet. 】

Li Aili: "..."

Red pomegranate? Duke of South County? ‘Sword of Brilliant Light’ Brandon?

In this era where 4/5 of the letters sent between nobles are social nonsense, the letter from the Duke of Pomegranate is as short as a class note passed around in school.

"Um, you want to go?"

The Duke stood up and straightened his embroidered navy blue jacket, "It's not me, it's us."

"Go and pack up. We'll leave in the afternoon."

Li Aili was slightly surprised, "So anxious? Um, no, why should I go too?"

The Duke gave a soft 'hmm', "I'm going to arrange the political affairs of the territory. We will stay at Swan Castle in South County for about four days."

Li Aili: "..."

The Duke looked at her lightly and said, "A box of gold coins."

Li Aili: "Okay~I'm going to pack my luggage~~"

Duke: "…………"

……

Joanna was as busy as a top after getting the news.

Li Aili thought that she only needed to prepare two sets of changes of clothes for four days.

As a result, Joanna packed up seven or eight sets of luxurious dresses for the party, and five or six sets for daily wear.

Along with sets of gemstones and jewelry, the luggage was as heavy as moving, rather than visiting a castle in the south.

Li Aili was stunned, "No, dear, I'll only go for four or five days. You..."

Joanna took a moment in her busy schedule, put her hands on her hips and said, "Let those little girls in Nan County open their eyes, so that one or two of them will go to the Duke's side when they have nothing to do!"

"Madam! Duke Nanjun is known as a 'prom maniac'. Promise me that you will never wear the same clothes to his ball, okay?"

"Otherwise those people in Nan County will think that the Duke is too poor to support you!"

Li Aili: "..." Is her skirt already related to the 'Southwestern War'?

During lunch, the accompanying knights had already begun to line up and prepare.

All dark mithril armor, paired with a black military flag, and a guard of honor composed of 36 silver knights.

The newly formed Blue Onyx Knights accompanied him as escort.

Even the royal family's trip was not so extravagant.

16 black horses pulling the carriage galloped wildly.

Li Aili looked at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the window, "The south is far away from here, right? How many days will it take if we rush?"

The Duke is still accustomed to using odd hours to deal with official duties.

He put down a scroll and said, "In about four days, after arriving at the Cathedral of Light in Ely City, you can use the church's portal to directly reach the southern part of the kingdom."

Because it was a long journey, the carriage's carriage used space magic.

Bedroom, bathroom, everything is included, it’s a magical version of an RV.

The Duke picked up the new parchment and said, "After arriving in the south, there are still about four or five days to go before we can reach Swan Castle."

Li Aili was a little sleepy, "I'm going to take a nap."

Looking at the mountain of parchment-like documents next to the Duke, she said sympathetically: "Keep up the good work."

Li Aili was lying on the soft bed in the magic folding carriage, searching for her original memory.

In the impression, she seemed to have never seen the Grand Duke of the South...

When Li Aili woke up, the carriage was still speeding.

The Duke was lying on the other side of the big bed with his eyes closed. She was so frightened that she sat up straight and picked up a big pillow to use as a 'self-defense weapon'.

The man opened his eyes, slowly turned sideways, supported his head with one hand and watched her 'performance' quietly.

Li Aili: "...Why are you lying here?"

The Duke asked slowly, "Where do you think I should lie?"

You should lie under the car.

Li Aili reminded politely, "With the kind of relationship we have, it wouldn't be good to sleep together, right?"

The Duke nodded thoughtfully, "So, I will generously not argue with you."

Li Aili: "..."

She had to hold back because she couldn't beat him.

The Duke stopped joking and said casually: "When we get to Duke Pomegranate's castle, do you still want to sleep in a separate room with me?"

Li Aili asked blankly, "Ah, is there any problem with this?"

The Duke chuckled lightly, "Then, the next day, the news that you and I are not in love will spread throughout the kingdom."

"On the third day, the Duke of Pomegranate will be able to stuff a woman into my room."

"It's very clear in our contract. While the relationship between husband and wife has not been dissolved, you have the responsibility and obligation to help me avoid this kind of trouble."

Li Aili: "..."

The Duke looked at her "earth-shattering" expression with satisfaction, "So, my dear, I am letting you adapt in advance, so that you will not get too excited and reveal yourself."

Li Aili: “…………”

After four days of driving day and night, the Duke's motorcade finally arrived in Erie.

When the city lord learned that Duke Leng Jade’s knights were ‘attacking the city’, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

You know, Earl McIver, who was last attacked by the Cold Emerald Knights, is now so poor that he can beg for food.
