loot

The Duke of St. Magnolia was staring at the computer screen in front of him calmly, with a calm expression on his face, as if nothing had happened.

But the butler still clearly remembers how the Duke was angry 10 minutes ago. In the past 20 years, he has never seen the Duke lose such a big temper, even in the adolescent period when it is generally the most difficult to control emotions. Pass.

At that time, he was instructing the maids in the dining room downstairs to decorate the room with new flowers and dried flowers, when he suddenly heard a loud "bang" coming from the direction of Lord Duke's study upstairs!

The old housekeeper broke out in a cold sweat. At first, he thought it was his lord, the duke, who accidentally made a magic explosion at home, but after opening the door and entering, he found that the solid wood desk in the study had been pushed to the ground, and all the things and documents on it were scattered. On the ground, His Excellency the Duke was standing behind the overturned desk, his eyes were fierce, and there was even a faint scarlet color in his dark eyes.

This is the first time the steward has seen their Lord Duke so angry, and even so angry, he did not do anything with magic. The news related to the second prince quickly disappeared.

The old butler didn't know why his master suddenly cared about matters related to the second prince, and he didn't even know whether the Duke's sudden anger in the morning had anything to do with the news report that seemed to have nothing to do with the Xi Shi family——according to In his rational analysis, nine out of ten it should be irrelevant.

However, just as he was conveying the inexplicable will of the Duke, the driver of the Duke's mansion also saw the news, and said to the old housekeeper in surprise: "Mr. Kress, this girl, look, it's the girl in the photo. The last time the Duke visited the Royal Academy of Magic, he took this girl away after the visit, and went to the exclusive Marriage Temple of the Xishi family, and finally sent her back to school..."

The old butler stopped him: "Dermo, you haven't told me anything today, and I don't know anything."

Having worked in the Duke's Mansion for many years, Mr. Driver instantly understood, nodded to Mr. Housekeeper, and left without saying a word.

However, Kress dialed the phone number of the relevant staff again, urging anxiously: "Quick! Immediately! Mobilize all available resources! Use all power! Make sure that those reports are within 5 minutes, no, 1 All disappeared in minutes!"

These people who worked for the Xishi family were also the first to discover that the dignified and calm old butler, who had served three generations of Xishi Dukes successively, had such a restless side, so they hurriedly took this matter as the top priority. .

After 10 minutes, everything has returned to calm, the overturned desk has returned to its original state, the servants came in quietly, tidied up everything neatly and quickly, and then quietly retreated out as if nothing had happened.

The old housekeeper stood by the door, leaned slightly and said calmly and respectfully: "My lord, those reports have all been deleted, and all newspapers with relevant reports have also been withdrawn. We will do our best to ensure that the impact of this matter is minimized."

Xi Shiyan let out a faint "um" from his nasal cavity, as if he didn't care about the outcome of this matter, he nodded slightly to signal the housekeeper to leave.

The old butler bowed again, quietly exited the study and closed the door for his master.

In the empty room with only one person left, the great magister stared at the computer screen in front of him, as if he wanted to use a time travel curse to go back to the night shown in the photo on the screen, and directly pulled one of the protagonists away.

After using the concealment magic, Yin Luo's hair color and pupils became a common chestnut color, but even so could not conceal the clear look in his eyes.After the photo is enlarged, it can be seen very clearly. In this photo, his cheeks are flushed with alcohol, his eyes are crystal clear and moist, and under the dim streetlights, it seems to be glowing with a layer of water. Yi Huachi Walking beside him, holding his waist, the pirate leaned towards the young man beside him very intimately and trustingly, with his left hand still hugging his neck affectionately.

Xi Shiyan still didn't believe that pirates would empathize with others, let alone that he would fall in love with such a bullshit prince who was nothing but youthful and childish in appearance, strength, knowledge, power and wealth.

But...but he knew better than anyone how attractive and foul the Pirates looked when they were drunk.He couldn't help recalling Yin Luo's various behaviors that night after he got drunk for the first time. Those moist, misty eyes...

Let such a drunk Yin Luo go home with another young man...is he crazy or stupid to allow this to happen!

But now it happened for real.He didn't know the news until he saw the overwhelming gossip.Xi Shiyan felt that he was really going crazy with anger.

The Duke of St. Magnolia couldn't help but put his hand on the purple crystal ball again. After a while, a slightly familiar building was reflected in the crystal ball again - the residence of the second prince.

Xi Shiyan pushed away the crystal ball and stood up, looking down at the scene in the crystal with a sullen face. Yinluohe Yihuachi sat in the garden intimately, with an exquisite and hearty breakfast on the white wooden table in front of him. Sitting together, the two looked like a newlywed young couple.

The Duke clenched his fists, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down. After a while, he opened his eyes again, and his face barely recovered.The solid wood desk narrowly escaped the bad luck of being overturned to the ground again.

"Kress!" The great magister called out to his butler again with a straight face.

When Cresser came in, Xi Shiyan returned to his usual calm and breezy look, and he ordered with a deadpan expression: "Get the car ready, I'm going out."

He's going to bring him back himself.Although it was already a new era, and people advocated more respect and freedom for their partners, but no matter what, he would not allow Yin Luo to stay in the Second Prince's Mansion any longer.

Yin Luo was enjoying breakfast with his friends in the garden.It was rare for Yi Huachi to go home to stay once, and he brought a lovely young lady back with him. The cooks in the mansion tried their best to serve them.

Yin Luo ate very happily.The so-called transition from frugality to extravagance is easy, but from luxury to frugality is difficult. No one will reject a more comfortable life.Although he looked beautiful when he was at sea, once those noble ships that flamboyantly arrived in the Biluosi waters, they became lambs to be slaughtered by the pirates, but when it comes to enjoying themselves, the pirates and the upper nobles of the Glory Empire are completely different. In a very different level, Yin Luo could not enjoy the skills of the prince's chef in the past.

Seeing that he was satisfied with the meal, Yi Huachi tentatively asked his friend, "Ah Luo, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Yin Luo didn't notice the strange behavior of his friend, and put another crystal shrimp dumpling into his mouth: "Say, what's the matter."

"It's like this," Yi Huachi's attitude became more and more twitchy, "Because of the photo, my elder brother found out about you, and I told him that we are friends. Of course, I didn't tell him that you are actually my Brother Luo, right? Sister Luo's matter."

"Although those photos were deleted very quickly, there are still some negative effects. Brother, he hopes to eliminate these effects. He specifically checked your information and found that you are Professor Luo Lijia's 'niece'. Professor Luo Lijia has a good family style. , I have always been very respected, and my reputation and reputation are excellent, so my brother hopes that I can pretend to be in a serious relationship with you, and after a while, I will pretend that my personality is not compatible and break up, so that I still have a serious relationship. The prince is not a disorderly prince who is promiscuous and promiscuous, those negative comments will disappear a lot."

Yi Huachi felt that it was not good to use his brother like this, but he had always respected and loved his elder brother, and he listened to the eldest prince very much. He was in a dilemma for a while, and after thinking about it, he told Yin Luo about the elder prince's proposal, and planned to see Yin Luo's first. reaction.

Yin Luo didn't think it was a big problem to temporarily pretend to be a couple in order to help Yi Huachi reshape a good image, anyway, it was fake, and his focus was on other aspects: "Why can't we just explain that we are good friends and go to the bar to drink together? Woolen cloth?"

Yi Huachi: "Probably because most people will associate with impure aspects when they see those photos, instead they don't believe the truth. Hey, actually, I don't think my image is important, but my elder brother is more cautious and always afraid of the Ke Feng family. It’s a fuss over trivial matters, so I don’t want them to take advantage of it. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to force it. It’s more important to find someone for you to divorce quickly, because it will be troublesome if you delay your divorce.”

Yin Luo waved his hand and picked up another shrimp dumpling: "It's a trivial matter, let's listen to your elder brother. But how do you pretend? Then publish reports in newspapers and on the Internet?"

He was a little worried that Xi Shi'an felt that this would damage his family's reputation, so he deleted all relevant news cleanly.In fact, he felt that the Duke of St. Magnolia was completely overwhelmed. After all, no one but Xi Shiyan himself knew about his relationship with the Xi Shi family.

But to be reasonable, he is indeed the real Duchess of St. Magnolia in name.So the Duke of Saint Magnolia is so concerned and nervous... Seems right?

"No need," Yi Huachi waved his hands in a mocking manner, looking relieved, "I told you that the queen will hold a royal ball this weekend, and my brother means that you will attend directly as my girlfriend. Just introduce it to everyone. After a month or two, if no one pays attention to this matter, we will be fine if we break up."

He looked at Yin Luo with some guilt: "But don't worry, Ah Luo, this way I can justifiably introduce all outstanding young generations to you, and whoever you like can tell me directly, brother will help you catch up." Secretly worried that his friend would really choose a super difficult task for him, such as chasing Xishi himself.

Yin Luo smiled and said yes, thinking that in a month or two, he might have fully recovered and left the imperial capital.

Although the First Prince asked them to pretend to be lovers for the time being, for the sake of a good reputation, he did not allow Yin Luo to live in the Second Prince's Prince's Mansion now.Considering that he still had a lot of classes to attend, Yin Luo was still worried that Xi Shi'an would force him to move to the Duke's mansion, but he comforted himself "I am the second prince's fake girlfriend now, Lord Duke should not be so blatant" and then happily Decided to obey the eldest prince's instructions and go back to school to live.

After he finished his breakfast, he bid farewell to his friends, and the driver of the Second Prince's Mansion took him back to school.

As soon as Yin Luo left, the car of the Duke of Saint Magnolia stopped at the door of the second prince's mansion.

The great magister got out of the car calmly and gracefully, and the butler of the second prince's mansion stood in front of the door together with Yi Huachi to welcome this rare visitor who came suddenly for some unknown reason.

After realizing that Yin Luo had left, Xi Shi'an's heart became calm.He thought to himself, sure enough, even if he didn't come, the pirates would leave here on their own initiative, after all, this is not their home.

He reluctantly made up a reason for coming here suddenly related to the eldest prince, and while chatting with Yi Huachi for a while, he seemed to casually ask the question he really cared about.

"I saw a lot of reports this morning that published photos of His Highness and a young lady? Excuse me, what is the relationship between His Highness and that young lady?" Xi Shiyan said calmly, without the slightest disturbance from his expression.

Although he was sure that Yin Luo would not fall in love with others, he still wanted to confirm that the Second Prince didn't have any unreasonable thoughts about his pirates.

When Yi Huachi heard Xi Shi'an mentioning the eldest prince, his heart trembled, and he secretly praised his elder brother for his skillful methods. He didn't know when he had already had a relationship with this great magister. No wonder Xi Shi's family Will help delete the message.

Thinking of this, he was more careful to deal with it, not daring to make any mistakes, for fear that his negligence would spoil the good deeds of his elder brother-you must know that if there is the support of the Duke of St. Not worth mentioning, nothing to contend with.

So Yi Huachi said to the big magister in front of him completely according to what his elder brother told him: "Xiao Luo is my girlfriend, and we are dating now."

As he said that, he showed a pure and shy smile with a good feeling about himself, which is completely the appearance of an excellent, innocent young man who has just begun to love.He praised himself in his heart, his acting skills have improved to another level, the elder brother will definitely be pleased.
