Chapter 293 Viscount Cliff

Returning to the city lord's mansion, Sophia got the news and came out: "You're back?"

When she saw Olivia's face clearly, she was stunned for a moment: "What is this?"

Bulky wooden-framed glasses obscured most of Olivia's face. If this was not the child she had raised since childhood, she might not be able to recognize it.

Olivia tilted her head and smiled slyly: "Sofia doesn't recognize me anymore?"

Sophia quickly came to her senses and frowned: "Are these glasses? Can't they be made to look better?"

Wearing large and heavy frames on your face really affects your appearance.

"You can change it later, I'll use this one for now," Sophia waved her hand carelessly, "Have you finished talking to mother? I have something to report to mother."

"Not yet, but the unknown Baron has left first. Alice and the Viscount have other things to talk about."

Olivia nodded: "Let's not wait for mother. First, help me and Felissa arrange lunch."

"I understand." Sophia bowed slightly and retreated.

It was already past lunch time, and Felissa was hungry very early, but it was not convenient for her to bring it up, so she endured it until now.

Sophia prepared quickly, and soon someone told her that lunch was ready.

During the meal, the two of them followed the etiquette of silent eating and sleeping and ate quietly.

Until an unexpected guest disturbed them.

The door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a slender figure slowly stepped into the restaurant with the crisp sound of "tuk tuk" knocking on the floor.

Only Sophia stayed to serve the two ladies. When she saw the person coming in, she immediately leaned over and saluted: "My lord."

"Well," the visitor responded coldly, "get up."

Olivia immediately put down her knife and fork and stood up: "Mother."

Felicia immediately saw the unknown lady who entered the door behind Viscount Cliff, but she had no time to say hello to her mother. Her attention was first focused on Viscount Cliff.

She had met many noble ladies in the royal city, and the most impressive among them were the prime minister's wife and the queen.

The Prime Minister's wife is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Due to her poor health, her face always looks a little sickly pale. She is as delicate as a flower in a greenhouse, weak and beautiful.

As the mother of a country, the queen is dignified and majestic. Under her pressure, people always dare not look directly at her face.

But Viscount Cliff is different from the Prime Minister's wife and the queen. If one must use an adjective to describe Viscount Cliff, Felicia can only think of iron-blooded.

Viscount Cliff is indeed a unique woman. Her hair is cut very short, just past the ears at most, and then she combs all her hair back to reveal her smooth forehead. She looks capable and neat. She is not wearing a skirt.

, instead chose equestrian clothing, high boots that wrapped her slender legs, and she was holding a cane that looked like it had been used for many years. Her feet were slightly sloping when she walked, which may have been an injury to her legs.

Felissa calmed down her thoughts and saluted Viscount Cliff: "Your Excellency, Viscount."

Viscount Cliff's indifferent gaze swept over Felissa: "Are you Alice's daughter?"

Felissa answered cautiously: "Yes."

Viscount Cliff nodded and said nothing more, but asked Sophia: "Is lunch ready?"

Sophia immediately went to the kitchen.

Olivia and Felissa both changed their positions and gave up the main seat. This is also part of the etiquette they learned in elementary school.

"No need to be formal." Viscount Cliff raised his hand and motioned for them to sit down, "You eat first."

Felissa watched Olivia move first before she dared to continue eating.

Olivia quickly finished the rest of the food. She stood up and said, "Mom, I have something to report to you. I will go to the study to wait for you."

"Go." Viscount Cliff said nonchalantly.

Felissa glanced at Olivia, swallowed the last bite of bread, and then carefully raised her eyes at her mother who had been silent and did not move.

"Alice," Viscount Cliff called the unknown lady, with a cold tone, "take Felicia to stay at the City Lord's Mansion for the next few days, and think about it carefully."

The nameless lady responded in a low voice: "Yes."

Felissa noticed that her mother seemed to be in a low mood. What kind of injustice had she suffered from Viscount Cliff?

Of course she didn't dare to ask directly in front of Viscount Cliff. It wasn't until they settled in the room in the City Lord's Mansion that Felicia said doubtfully: "Is mother unhappy? She had an affair with Viscount Cliff.

dispute?"

The unknown lady was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "No, the eldest lady and I just have some different ideas."

When Felissa could remember, their family was a noble, which meant that more than ten or twenty years later, her mother still called Viscount Cliff "Miss", which showed that the relationship between master and servant was deep, but in the

Despite such a deep relationship, the two still had differences.

Let’s make a reasonable guess…

"Is it something about me?"

Apart from that, Felissa couldn't think of any other more reasonable reason.

"You have indeed grown up a lot," Mrs. Wuming rubbed the top of Felicia's hair with sour eyes, "but I wish you were still the child who never grew up."

"Mother," Felissa sighed, "everyone has to grow up."

And compared to the freaks in the royal city, she can be said to have grown up much later.

Mrs. Wuming was silent for a while and asked slowly, "Have you ever thought about what you will do in the future?"

In the future...

"Before going to the Royal City, I always thought that my life trajectory was to graduate from the academy in the Royal City and then come back to inherit the title and territory of my father and mother, just like other nobles."

However, this was also the past.

Mrs. Wuming also heard the implication and asked: "What about now?"

Now……

"His Royal Highness Fred has other plans for me," Felissa said, but it was difficult to tell her mother what the specific arrangements were.

Because the key to this so-called arrangement is not Felissa herself, but depends on Azarez. Although neither Fred nor Safi said this explicitly, it is not difficult to guess.

The matter of the blood contract is a secret. Even if it is to the mother, it cannot be said. Besides, it is useless to say it. They have no ability to solve this matter. There is no use in telling this matter except to worry the mother, so it is better not to say it.

The nameless lady was obviously thinking wrongly. She became nervous: "Arrangement? What arrangement? He couldn't be doing it to you..."

"No, no," Felissa immediately stopped her mother's random thoughts, "His Royal Highness Fred doesn't mean that. He has a good relationship with Safi and would not do such a thing."

After receiving Feilisa's sworn assurance, the nameless lady relaxed a little: "It's okay if you don't have it, but you don't have to have particularly high expectations for the nobles. For them, playing with emotions is a normal thing.

.”

Felicia did not refute Mrs. Wuming's words and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I understand everything."
