Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

It's time for afternoon tea.

Afternoon tea was first popular among the aristocracy. It became popular in mid-winter and soon spread among the local aristocracy in Rome.

It first became popular because the interval between lunch and dinner is relatively long. Dinner will not be until after eight o'clock, and you will be hungry in the middle. This is why afternoon tea is the middle meal.

As a noble, you do not need to directly participate in work, but you have high social needs. In addition to holding dance parties, inviting a few acquaintances to have afternoon tea can also be regarded as a type of interpersonal communication.

But for aristocrats who truly have a higher social status, afternoon tea is more relaxing to have with family and friends. There is no need to go to other people's tea parties, and there is no need to take the initiative to please the other party.

"What do you want to drink? There is all kinds of tea here."

Cordelia opened the tea cabinet. The tea cabinet made of cherry wood had a fruity aroma. Through the transparent glass cabinet, you could see a dazzling array of tea leaves arranged in an orderly manner.

She turned around and said, "Even the tribute tea that could only be drunk by Eastern emperors in the past is available here."

Bai Yu was a little surprised: "Your collection is quite extensive."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, but this is not my collection." Cordelia smiled: "Compared to tea, I prefer drinking some honey lemonade. As a saint, I always have to do preaching activities, and tea is not very good. It soothes the throat."

"What about this cabinet?"

"Of course it is my father's collection." Cordelia said: "This old man can't do anything else, but he has learned a lot about the luxury of the nobility. When he was young, he relied on the arrogance of spending a lot of money and the bad boys of the aristocracy. His unique temperament fascinated his mother... But after he inexplicably inherited the position of Grand Duke, he realized that it was not easy to do. He couldn't even retain a few of his past hobbies. It was rare to collect tea leaves for decades. Hobby."

She selected the tea can: "Darjeeling or Wuyishan?"

"Is there Fuliang black tea?" Bai Yu casually mentioned Fuliang tea. It is estimated that many people have never heard of it, but as long as he mentioned the sentence in Pipa Xing, "Businessmen value profits over separation, I went to Fuliang to buy tea the month before last." You will have an immediate impression.

"Let me look for it..." Cordelia quickly rummaged through a jar of tea, scooped out two spoons of tea leaves, put them into a bone china cup, and added boiling hot water. The aroma of tea immediately hit her nostrils, just from her actions. Looks very capable and rough.

On the contrary, Bai Yu admires this kind of savage beauty that is completely natural without artificial training.

He looked at the white mist rolling in and asked casually: "Your mother has never shown up."

"She has opened a company outside and is having a cold war with her father. But after he is stripped of his title of Grand Duke, this old man will have no choice but to eat his mother's soft rice." Cordelia raised the corners of her lips: "I think they will recover as before."

"Has Grand Duke Bach given up?"

"Rather than giving up, it's better to say that it's a return to the original intention." Cordelia held her chin: "He seemed to be happy that I could overthrow his position, and he said, 'I have struggled to this point, even if The ancestors can’t say anything bad about me when they come here. I’ve tried hard, but it’s better not to work hard at all.’… In short, this old man should be at ease in the future, and I will probably be the Grand Duchess soon.”

"That's good." Bai Yu continued to ask: "What do the Holy Church and the Tiling Prince say?"

"I will go to the trial court to go through the procedures later. I will try to shorten the time as much as possible, but it will still take a few days." Cordelia paused: "The saint's right wrist is a big deal, and Prince Tiling plans to report it to the emperor. Your Majesty, we don’t know what the subsequent impact will be.”

"Why don't you negotiate terms with them?"

"I am a believer, and it is justifiable to return the holy remains to the church." Cordelia said with a smile: "And you rejected such a generous offer without even thinking about it. What other conditions can I offer?"

She said, pushing the dessert cabinet forward: "Try the pastries, I made them myself."

Bai Yu picked up a piece of macaron, took a bite, and licked the cream in his mouth: "It tastes good. I didn't expect you to have such skills."

"I'm very talented in baking. As long as I have sugar, eggs and flour, I can make delicious desserts." Cordelia raised her chin proudly.

Bai Yu slowly tasted the dessert, and after swallowing it, he took a sip of black tea and raised his eyes: "You don't want to ask me why I didn't agree to Prince Tiling's request."

Cordelia put her chin in her hands and looked at him quietly without speaking.

Bai Yu said lightly: "I just don't want to be tied up by the Holy Church and the Roman royal family. After all, everyone is born free. Why do I have to find a collar for myself? If I were a Roman, my name might be Allen."

"It seems to me that you worry a lot."

"It is precisely because I have too many worries that I cannot add more worries to myself."

Bai Yu paused and said, "I won't disturb your family reunion. I'll leave later."

Cordelia raised her eyes: "You only stayed for one day."

"I have sent you back safe and sound." Bai Yu was not used to beating around the bush: "And I still have some things to do."

"Is it dealing with those goods?"

"That is also one of the goals." Bai Yu nodded: "I also want to see my relatives."

Cordelia became wary and asked, "You don't want to go on a blind date secretly behind my back, do you?"

Bai Yu rubbed his eyebrows: "First, I didn't carry you behind your back; second, I didn't have to be sneaky; third, I wasn't going on a blind date."

"But you said you came to Rome just for a blind date."

"When did I say that?"

"You told Yotsuba."

"?"

"I overheard!" Cordelia said unconvinced and confident.

Bai Yu said: "I will not go on a blind date. After all, I already have... you know, so how can other women catch my eye? Do you have no confidence in yourself, or do you have doubts about my eyesight?"

If you can even reject someone at the top of the pyramid like the Saint, how can you possibly be interested in other blind dates?

Cordelia pouted, took a bite of the cake and said, "It was your indifferent attitude that made me lose my confidence."

Bai Yu: "Do you blame me?"

He also knew that Cordelia would definitely be dissatisfied, so he predicted it in advance before the sound of her pout came out.

"I will come back to you after my affairs are settled. And if you bring back the holy relics, the reward from the Holy Church will definitely be great. Maybe the title of Honorary Saint will fall on your head. I also hope that by then Please help me collect more information about the 'Holy Appearance'."

Cordelia had no reaction to the previous reward, but immediately couldn't sit still after hearing the second half of the sentence.

"Another look of holiness?"

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, what kind of jealousy was this: "She is a historical figure."

"But she is also a woman." Cordelia bit her nails: "Are you so concerned about a saint from five hundred years ago because I can't compare to her? She is prettier than me, and her breasts are bigger than mine. Your legs are longer than mine and your personality is better than mine?”

That's true... better looking than you, bigger than you, longer than you, not as unruly and willful as you, except for being a little more irritable.

Bai Yu coughed dryly: "You are focusing on the wrong thing. Shouldn't you care about the titles of some 'honorary saints'?"

"I don't care about this! I am no longer the person I used to be. I am not as superficial and vain as I used to be!" Cordelia shook her head vigorously: "The only thing I care about is why you prefer that holy face to me. !”

"How have you made any progress? Aren't you more superficial in the past? You might as well be vain!"

"Don't change the subject. Tell me clearly. What is so good about her and why I can't compare to her?"

"Uh... is it because you are still alive?" Bai Yu thought, after all, the dead are invincible.

"...Okay! I'll die for you right now!" Cordelia angrily grabbed the plastic knife and fork.

A lot of fuss.

Golden Luzhu snorted, and after a moment of hesitation, she still agreed: "I will try my best to collect information about her, but you must abide by the agreement and meet me at the cathedral in Huadu in one week at most."

She closed her left eye and raised her right eye, folded her arms and turned sideways, making a sneak peek.

At the same time, he threatened in a low voice: "If you don't come, I will go to the public toilet pole and put up a large sum of money to find you. Mr. Bai, you don't want to die in society, right?"

Bai Yu: "...彳庍口巴."

Cordelia crossed her legs.

With this agreement, she didn't need to worry that Bai Yu would just leave her aside and ignore her completely.

If he really intends to disappear, then Cordelia has plenty of ways to make him reflect on his future actions.

She's not that easy to fool, she can't just work without giving any reward.

Here Cordelia has realized that her approach may still be too conservative and not enough to shake the young man's heart.

She is the daughter of a grand duke and a spoiled child. Even if she is well-educated and educated, she cannot change her nature. Ever since she was a child, she has never been able to get anything she has been obsessed with.

And the young man standing under the beam of sunshine that broke through the gloomy clouds of the underworld has become an indelible beam of light in her heart. It is human nature to want to get him.

For example, a man would fall in love with the female sword fairy who saved him. This is also human nature.

…

Bai Yu's gaze deflected.

He thought that he had comforted the Saint, and did not notice the meaning behind the Saint's silence.

He is not really that proud and refuses to be fed by Her Royal Highness the Saint.

In fact, he had planned to get along with the Bach family to improve his reputation, reveal his identity appropriately, and facilitate his actions in Rome... However, subsequent changes have exceeded expectations. It is best to keep a certain distance from Cordelia at the moment. Avoid being pinched.

And now that he has a temporary mission, he can only gain freedom of movement by sending Cordelia away.

[Companion mission has been accepted]
