Days and nights of women's clothing in front of the Duke

After a night's rest, Andy got enough sleep, and his sober brain felt the hunger in his stomach. He lifted the quilt, wore sandals dyed and woven from snow hemp, and walked to the window.

The sun is shining outside the window, and the red flowers and green leaves in the house are sticky with crystal dew and are just about to bloom.

Andy stretched his back, his eyebrows relaxed.

There was no one in the yard, except Darwin, who played the role of servant conscientiously. He had to get up at five o'clock, take care of the garden, handle chores, prepare breakfast, arrange the day's affairs, and go to the stable to reserve the carriage for the lady to travel.

Due to lack of money, they did not hire additional servants.

As a true Seabuckthorn person, Miss Oliver does not have the habit of being served by a personal maid. The Seabuckthorn area believes in the Father God, worships the God of War form of the Father God, and yearns for powerful force.

Seabuckthorn women are also encouraged to fight, brave and powerful, and good at using weapons.

In addition, Themis suggested that the nobles should bring fewer servants, so Oliver only took one male servant and said that, but in some respects, it is easy to attract criticism.

Darwin told Andy yesterday that someone had spread to the academy privately that Miss Oliver and the servants had presumptuous acts, and he asked euphemistically whether this would have any bad influence on the real Oliver.

Andy sneered at that time, squinted his eyes, and threw the leftover fruit core into the trash can: "Why do you think Baron Morton sent his daughter to Themis, and asked someone to send her to the king? All for social season."

"why?"

Darwin had never heard Andy say anything about it.

Andy paused for a moment, then said quietly: "In Seabuckthorn, if Oliver walks past the houses, people will immediately hide the beautiful daughter at home, and pray to the goddess, and the gods will send thunder to kill that rampant robber."

This is not slander.

Oliver and Andy met for the first time. He was busy getting rid of the search brought by the assassination of the captain, sneaked into the brothel, and picked up a large dress to disguise.

People are crowded.

In the shade of red, filled with the strong fragrance of roses, this dashing lady is trying to make out with an improper woman in an improper place.

Andy turned the corner, and his sudden appearance startled the girl in Oliver's arms, but he was exhausted and afraid of being caught in prison, so he turned a blind eye to such things and was in a hurry.

But the eyes of this noble lady from seabuckthorn are bright, and she has given full play to her true nature as a robber.

She stopped Andy forcibly, pulled off his hood, looked at him while pinching his butt, and asked the price directly.

Andy almost made a move. He was so anxious that he heard the pursuers getting closer, so he simply gave up resistance and let Oliver push him into the room.

"Beautiful girl, I want to know your name." The woman from the land of seabuckthorn was tall, with well-proportioned proportions, and wore a dashing men's riding suit.

Her long brown hair was bundled up, with a few strands hanging down, her black eyes unblinking, locked on to her target, her facial features were heroic, her smile was bright, her speaking attitude and behavior were resolute.

Andy kept silent, and stepped back step by step. After the guessing person left, Oliver began to unbutton his buttons slowly. His face darkened, and he simply pulled down his skirt, revealing a flat and strong chest.

"I am a man."

Oliver's face was a little stiff, his expression gradually became cold and terrifying, and he slowly pulled out the leather whip tied around his waist.

Andy: "..."

If he hadn't traveled far and wide and seen many monsters and ghosts, he should have been carried in that unlucky and unscrupulous place that time.

Darwin, who was also well-informed, was dumbfounded for a moment. It seemed that Miss Oliver's reputation was even worse than expected. A happy and heroic smile appeared in his mind. The tall woman brandished a broad sword, Jump on deck on a stormy night and face the waves like a fearless fighter.

"Wind...hahahahahahahahaha... come on! come on! Let me see your ability... hahahahahahahaha..."

Darwin frowned and suppressed Oliver's heroic laughter. The longer they stayed in Themis, the more likely they would be exposed, especially because Andy's appearance was so eye-catching that it was almost impossible to be a transparent person.

"We're running out of money, and we don't know when Oliver will be back."

Darwin sighed, regretting taking on this task.

"Don't worry, she'll be back."

Report her to Austin immediately when you come back.

That woman is in Themis now, but she doesn't know where she is hiding. Andy knows the truth, but he has no way to tell Darwin what happened, so he can only comfort him casually.

He was worried that the crazy woman who was killing and killing brought something evil from the dragon ruins.

Andy couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. His exhausted body made him rationally give up thinking. He chose to wash up and go back to his room to sleep.

I fell asleep until eight o'clock in the morning.

Andy shaved his newly grown beard. According to the weather, Darwin chose a long dress with sleeves for him, matching accessories of the same color, including necklaces, rings, and hairbands. These are Oliver's own items. Yu is full of old mysteries.

After smartly dressing up, Andy walked down the stairs, and Darwin was setting up breakfast, because it was unlikely that anyone would visit at this time, and he usually had breakfast with Andy.

Today's breakfast was a glass of milk and warm honey bread. Andy habitually tugged on his skirt to relax his waist so that he could stuff a little more into his stomach.

Themis will have a fixed briefing every three days or so, recording recent events, or publishing academic articles, as an internal communication, Oliver's title is enough for him to receive such a briefing.

Andy used to hate studying, and he hated literacy even more. He really started learning after Annie disappeared, and literacy would help him find his sister.

Shaking out the newspaper and picking up the warm honey bread, Andy skimmed through a few articles, and saw that Themis's magnetic field recording instrument suddenly failed. The time was three days ago, when the giant dragon sneaked in secretly.

I don't know if this will be one of Austin's protection measures.

Then browsing down, Andy saw a familiar name.

[Humanoid Dan was arrested and imprisoned by the Red Knight for murdering the priest Semen]

Dan... humanoid... There is only one humanoid studying at Themis. Andy naturally recalled the green-skinned boy who helped him once at the banquet. look, murder?Andy, full of doubts, read on.

This piece of news doesn't take up much space. It briefly mentions that Dan was found fainted in a remote path with a murder weapon in his hand, and that Father Simon was stabbed in the heart and died not far from him.

Simon...

Andy vaguely remembered this person, on the earl's big ship, he once prayed for the soul of Mier who died of drowning.

He was killed by that humanoid, and Andy decided to find out the news when he went out for a walk later.

He didn't expect Darwin, who was staying at home, to know this. After deciding on today's itinerary, Andy asked Darwin to ask for leave from the Noble Women's Court for him, and went out after breakfast.

It's not like he doesn't want to go to dance lessons...

Andy was fully dressed, and the reserved carriage was already waiting outside the door. Without Darwin's help, the coachman was eager to help Andy get into the carriage in front of a beautiful lady.

"Good morning."

The man in the half-height silk top hat took off his hat, revealing a familiar face with long hair, slightly curly hair, and gloomy green eyes.

"Ma'am, where are you going?"

"The Red Knights of Themis."

Andy ordered the location, turned his head and raised his eyebrows. He accidentally saw Austin here. The coachman closed the door lightly, obviously knowing that a gentleman was already sitting in the carriage.

"Lord Duke."

Andy nodded, and sat opposite the Duke with his skirt up, the horse's hooves stomped, and the carriage shook slightly.

The Duke's green eyes flooded with waves. He stared at Andy for a while, then suddenly turned his head, coughed politely, and said casually.

"You look well, and I'm glad, Miss Oliver."

Andy smiled: "My lord, did you sit in my carriage on purpose just to compliment my appearance?"

Gee.

This guy is always slurring his speech, which was not the case when we first met. Whether he wants me to pretend to know him or not.

Andy frowned.

No, no matter how you look at it, he seems to be euphemistically expressing his affection, but Austin must know my identity. Could it be that he is indirectly expressing his secret tendency?It was still for the sake of cooperating with me and for his own convenience, and he didn't want to add any extra trouble.

I don't mean to rely on past affection to blackmail or anything.

Andy thought a lot in a flash, the more he thought, the more restrained and calm he became, without any joy or unhappiness.

Austin observed Andy's implicitly guarded expression and clenched his fists quietly. His expression became colder and his eyes became more elusive.

"I came to you because I hope you can cooperate with me and do me a little favor."

Andy had no reason to refuse, and was curious about what the Duke wanted.

"I'd be happy to be of your service."

The Duke paused, a smile appeared on his cold face, he pursed his lips, as if mocking himself, and said softly.

"You haven't changed much. Sometimes I wonder if you will still be the same if you encounter an unbearable betrayal or experience an unbearable ordeal."

"You may not understand how I feel."

Andy looked him straight in the eyes, green eyes surging, deep, dark, with no hint of malice.

The Duke sighed and looked away: "Miss Oliver, we are here."

The driver stopped the carriage, not far away was the stronghold of the Red Knights.

Andy brushed off the non-existent dust on the hem of his skirt, and had no intention of answering those words: "I'm going to find out something, you can wait for me in the carriage."

The Duke put on his hat: "I can go with you."

Andy disagreed: "You and I ride in the same carriage and accompany me everywhere, I'm afraid there will be bad rumors."

The Duke was silent for a while, and said in a somewhat dry tone.

"You don't seem to know."

Andy's eyelids twitched: "What do you mean?"

"The Iliad told a duke with a big mouth what I said to him at the ball. Well, I mean, I'm afraid the little trick I used to protect you may have had some unexpected effects."

Andy pictured the blond Iliad with his innocent handsome face.

"But the Duke doesn't allow me to approach you. He told me that you are his fiancée."
