What was revealed was the face of a young and handsome man in his early twenties. It was black hair that he had never seen before, but there were no demi-human characteristics.
The duke heaved a sigh of relief. In this way, with the other party's ability, it would be easy for him to obtain status and wealth. There was nothing wrong with his daughter marrying him.'
He agreed with this in his heart.
"If you don't object to your daughter becoming my wife in the future, that magic crystal will be my engagement gift to her."”
The duke's eyes widened, and he thought, Are you going to give it to us?'
He looked at the magicite crystal again.
Even if he was a noble with a territory, he could not ignore such a huge fortune!
He looked at Lize…After a moment of hesitation, he remembered his conversation with his daughter in the morning and asked.
"Lizelot, my daughter, what do you think?”
At this moment, he was very careful, afraid that his daughter would reject him.
Lizelot's cheeks were slightly red. She lifted her skirt and curtsied." I, I'll listen to Father."”
The duke immediately smiled in satisfaction." Haha, then it's settled!”He paused for a moment." How should I address my future son-in-law?”
"My name is Long Jingyu." Jing Yu lowered his head slightly at him, because he was his father-in-law." I'll be leaving for a while." When I come back, I might have an identity that will surprise you. And the fact that we met today…"
He raised a finger to his lips.
"Duke, I hope you can keep this a secret. Other than the people in the room, don't tell anyone else.”
"Looks like you're a person with secrets. Hahaha, don't worry, I won't delve into it. As long as you are willing to treat my daughter well and make her satisfied, everything else is negotiable.”
For the sake of the magic crystal worth a million gold coins, the duke had fully displayed his magnanimity.
Their first conversation ended happily.
Later on, it was time for the young man.
Jing Yu covered his face with a cloak and left the study with Razorot. The Duke, who had stayed in the study, moved closer to the magic crystal and admired it for a while.
****
In the capital of the Kingdom of Bertum.
It was only when Jing Yu returned that he removed the magic on Celia and Vanessa. When the two women woke up and saw that the sky was already bright, they panicked.
As they tidied up their appearance, they were puzzled as to why they had missed the right time to wake up.
"It must be because I accumulated too much pressure last night.”Vanessa attributed the reason to Jing Yu." I've never seen anyone as stupid as you. You can't learn no matter what.”
After the intense friction during the lesson last night and the 'frank' meeting at the bathing place, she had to admit that she was now very casual with Jing Yu.
Celia tried to smooth things over." It's a good thing that you've finally learned it, isn't it? And there's still time, it's okay, Vanessa, we still have time to go now.”
"That's right, but there's no breakfast!”Vanessa glared sharply at Jing Yu.
That meant that he had nothing to eat.
She also wanted to express that you caused us to not have time to eat breakfast!
"If Celia is not as tall as you in the future, it will definitely be your fault!" Jing Yu replied seriously.”
Vanesha paused, wondering why it was my fault.
"I won't grow taller just because I miss a meal!" Celia protested. Jingyu, are you joking about my height again?”
She glared at him angrily.
Vanesha's eyebrows twitched as she suddenly remembered what Roana and Christina had said.
"I've never seen a commoner like him."
That's right, you're so skilled at making jokes about nobles. Where exactly did you come from?
In short, the three of them arrived at the palace in a hurry.
He did not immediately go to see the king. Instead, he first came to the door of a room. A blonde girl was waiting there. She was slightly taller than Celia and wore a white and blue maid uniform. Her appearance was different from Celia's cuteness. She was already a complete beauty.
"Aliya!"
Celia seemed to be very familiar with her. She called out to her from a distance and took the lead to run over to shake her hands.
The two of them whispered a few words, and Jing Yu and Vanessa came to them.
The girl introduced herself,"Nice to meet you. I'm Aliya." Gavanis was a maid working in the capital. This time, I have been ordered to serve Mr. Jing Yu. Please give me your advice.”
"There are clothes for you to change into.”Vanessa added,"We'll wait for you outside. Go.”
Jing Yu followed Aliya into the room alone.
Aliya took out a set of neatly folded clothes with a white top and black trousers.
"I've already heard about your height and body shape from Lord Vanesha. This is the knight's outfit I prepared for you. Please take off your clothes first.”
Jing Yu naturally wouldn't be shy just because he took off his clothes.
Aliya was not embarrassed. She considerately helped Jing Yu put on his shirt and coat and buttoned them up. He stood in front of a mirror that allowed him to see his entire body.
The black-haired boy in the mirror did not look like a commoner at all, which surprised Aliya.
However, her expression did not change much, and she did not say anything.
Jing Yu asked," Your movements are very light…Have you received any combat training?”
Aliya was stunned." Can you tell?”
She lowered her head and looked at herself…She was wearing a maid's dress that reached her ankles. It shouldn't reveal too much, right?
"We're from the slums, so we have to have good eyesight." Jing Yu laughed. Ah, right, I'm also a noble from now on.”
He didn't think much of it and even winked at Aliya in amusement.
"If you can't survive in the palace, you can come find me. I will definitely hire you."
Aliya was surprised again." How did you know that…"
If he had doubted it at the beginning, he wondered if Celia had told him. However, even Celia had never mentioned that he was not doing well.
She didn't think that he would be able to investigate her in advance.
"Isn't it obvious?" "To let a beauty like you serve a slums brat like me…If you were doing well in the palace, would you receive such treatment?" Jing Yu laughed.”
"..." Aliya could not answer.
There was only one thought in her mind, This child is so powerful!'
No wonder he was granted the title of knight at such a young age.
Seeing her like this, Jing Yu secretly smiled, Well, this is enough for now. It was almost time. Next, he would leave the meeting with the king to the substitute puppet. I'm going back to Earth first!
Without alerting anyone, he swapped places with the substitute doll.
When Vanessa and Celia saw the boy walk out with a blank expression, they just took it as a sign that he was about to meet the king. He was starting to get nervous.
For this, Vanessa was secretly amused. What? No matter how brave he is, he's still a child!'
