Chapter 57 Red Rose and White Rose
Chapter 57 Red Rose and White Rose
Qiao Yiqi got into this carriage that symbolized status.
There were a few ice cubes inside, not many, but it was obviously cooler than outside.
The inside of the carriage is covered with a layer of down cushions, so even if you walk on uneven paths, you will not feel bumpy.
I have to say that he is indeed the only butler of the Joels family. No matter what he does, he is orderly and takes everything into consideration.
If this continues, he will be too embarrassed to kill Oster.
Open the curtain, you can see the emerald green trees outside.
This road is inaccessible, and pedestrians are rarely seen, and occasionally the nobles in carriages pass by.
Oster sat outside to show him the way, and told him about the current situation of each family by the way.
"Duke Philip approached Earl Ayers a while ago and proposed to marry Dorian Ayres, but was rejected by Earl Ayers on the grounds that Dorian needed to recuperate. Now it is fashionable to talk about marriage. Early. But there is reliable news that Dorian, the heir of the Earl of Ayers, is getting worse, and the doctor said that the time may not be long. Although they may not have the idea of marriage."
"Oh? What's going on with Dorian now?"
"This matter was well concealed by Ailes, so no specific information was obtained."
"So... this Philip saw that Ayers rejected his request and came to me as a candidate?"
"At present, it is indeed the case."
Qiao Yiqi closed his eyes and fell asleep, "Oh, Philip really has a good plan."
"One more thing...Her Majesty the Queen wants to find someone with status to go to the territory of the recent famine to appease the people. I wonder...does the Earl have any intentions?"
"Why don't you let the prince go?"
"There is news from the palace that the prince is unwell recently and cannot go there."
As soon as the words fell, a teacup flew out of it, shattered on the ground, and made a crisp sound, which scared the horses to a halt. "The queen has so many princes, all of them are sick? What about Ayers?" What attitude?"
"The Ayres family said that they are willing to obey the Queen's orders, and they are going to send Dorian, the default heir."
"Dorian is sick like that, and you still send Dorian, huh?"
"Perhaps Ayers has other plans." Oster bowed his head slightly, expressing his thoughts.
"You want to use an heir to drag me into trouble as an earl?" Qiao Yiqi sneered, "Go, why not. Let's go."
"No." Auster replied, driving the horse to move on.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Yiqi could only feel the speed of the carriage slowly stop.
Lifting the curtain, I saw Oster already standing at the door with a hand outstretched, ready to take him down.
Qiao Yiqi held his hand and used his strength to jump off the carriage.
Then he looked up at the manor in front of him.
The manor looks endless, and the huge iron gate is covered with vines, which seems to be full of a thick and simple atmosphere.
After straightening his hat, Qiao Yiqi stabilized the crutch in his hand.
Oster went to the door first and rang the doorbell.
A crisp bell rang.
The door was opened from the inside.
The person who came was a very old butler who looked older than Oster.
Auster just looks very old. In fact, he only dresses himself up so maturely to make people respect him and not to despise him.
"Lord Joels, our lady has been waiting inside for a long time."
"En." Qiao Yiqi responded lightly, and then entered behind the butler of the manor.
Oster followed him, holding some small items for him.
Walking into the back garden of the manor, you can see a crystal clear flower room, which is the place for today's afternoon tea.
Miss Prow invited him to come for afternoon tea, but both parties knew that it was Duke Philip who wanted to marry him.
The most powerful Duke of Puluo in the kingdom and the youngest Earl in the kingdom, this is undoubtedly a strong alliance.
No normal person would turn down such an opportunity.
But Qiao Yiqi did not belong to the category of normal people. He was not prepared to accept this marriage, but he couldn't directly reject Duke Philip, so he had to come here in person.
He sat down on the seat prepared for him, and Miss Prow was sitting next to him, and Duke Philip hadn't arrived yet, so he could only drink tea with Miss Prow.
Miss Pro was wearing a wide tutu skirt today, with big wavy hair hanging down her back. Even though her small face tried her best to look serious and dignified, the glances she gave him from time to time gave her away.
Qiao Yiqi took off his hat and handed it to Oster who was standing behind him, as if he didn't see her eyes.
Oster reached out to catch it, and then straightened the broken hair on his forehead.
"Earl Joels really has a loyal housekeeper." Miss Prow laughed.
"Don't dare, what my father left behind must be good, not to mention that Oster was originally the housekeeper of my Joels family. You say so, Oster." Qiao Yiqi tilted his head slightly, and the second half of the sentence was directed at Oster. Ster said.
"Naturally, it is my honor to be loyal to the Earl's family."
Auster puts his right hand on his left chest, which is a gesture of loyalty to his master.
"Okay, okay. Earl Joels can taste the scented tea I brewed myself. These flowers are carefully raised by me." Miss Pro said.
In fact, Miss Prow looked only 15 years old, and some views and thoughts on politics were influenced by Duke Philip, Qiao Yiqi was not going to share her knowledge, so she took two symbolic sips and then put it down, "It tastes good. As expected, Miss Pro made it herself."
Hearing his words, no matter how mature Miss Pro is, she is still a young girl in love. It is unavoidable to be a little happy to be evaluated like this by her sweetheart.
Just when Qiao Yiqi was getting annoyed, Duke Philip came slowly.
"Lord Joels, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm glad you're here."
The Duke held out a hand as if to shake it.
Out of politeness, Qiao Yiqi held his hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Philip winked at the servants and told them to take Miss Prow down.
Although a little unwilling, Miss Pro knew that this was her father's order, so she had no choice but to follow the servant.
"I don't know if Earl Joels intends to marry the little girl?" Now that everyone has come, Duke Philip asked straight to the point without any inkling.
"Thanks to the Duke's great love, I just think that Miss Pro is worthy of better ones, such as the princes in the palace, it is a good choice. Your Excellency Philip can consider it."
"Oh? It's just that I heard that the Ayres family has not been peaceful recently. Now that the Joels family has only the Earl left, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with the Ayers family. After all, the red rose is weak now, and the white rose If you don't do anything, you will be unable to justify it." Philip said casually.
The Ayres family is another huge family.
There are two big families in the kingdom, one is the Joels family which represents the red rose.The other is the Ayres family representing the white rose.
In the eyes of the people here, red represents blood and unknown, so Joels, represented by the demon god, is red.White represents the pure Holy Spirit, so the Ayres family represented by the Holy Spirit is white.
In this dungeon, he has two tasks, one is to let Oster die normally, for example, because Oster made a mistake or he must be executed for other reasons.The other is to confirm whether there are demon gods and holy gods in this world.
For now, he has no clue.
Qiao Yiqi rubbed the ring on her thumb, the emerald ring glistened in the sun.
"No matter how weak Red Rose is, it won't be the turn of other families to come forward, right?" Qiao Yiqi said coldly.
His words made Philip choke.
Even though he is a duke, Joels and Ayers are just an earl, but the financial resources and power of these two families can be said to be evenly divided, and he, the duke, has to give three points to them when he sees them.
Indeed, even though the red rose is at a disadvantage now, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Except for the white rose, no family can eat the red rose.
not to mention……
Philip looked up and down at the 13-year-old little earl, whose height did not reach his waist. Being able to keep the Joels family within three months has proved that he is definitely not someone in the pool. Pull the red rose to the top.
"It seems that Earl Joels is not going to marry me, Philip? You are not going to give me this face?" Philip also withdrew his smile and looked at him lightly.
