"Then the toast tonight can only be cancelled. As for the curry rice, we can wait until tomorrow. Alas, it seems we have to go out for grilled steak tonight?"

"No……"

Chapter 11 Children's Body Shape

In a castle wrapped in a forest, Li Xuan looked at the well-dressed young lady in front of him and smiled and said, "That's about it."

"It turns out that Lord Wesley Desward is no longer alive." The girl with brown hair in a bun said with regret.

Li Xuan said helplessly: "It happened about half a year ago. I am also very troubled by his hasty death."

"Then when Lord Wesley passed away...I didn't know the situation and rashly sent such a letter. I'm really sorry." There was a trace of self-blame on the girl's face, although it was hard to tell whether it was sincere or not. But the aristocratic etiquette is done very well.

"Please don't worry, I will take care of the work instead of Wesley." Li Xuan smiled faintly, picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip.

"He was just confused because of the check that was sent with the letter." Dalian sipped black tea elegantly while exposing Li Xuan mercilessly.

However, Dalian still underestimated Li Xuan's shamelessness, and saw Li Xuan say with a gentle smile on his face: "Since we have received the deposit for revenge, we can't pretend not to know anything."

"It must have caused you a lot of trouble. I sent the check without confirming it." The girl's behavior made Li Xuan feel a little strange. Although she was very polite, she seemed to be a little too polite, like It's like he doesn't have any feelings of his own, he's just following instructions.

"It's okay, even though that's what I said, we also wanted to see Colonel Lilben's collection of books, so we came here." Li Xuan smiled and touched Dalian's head, but Dalian muttered. His mouth seemed unhappy.

"Ah, that's it." The girl looked at Dalian with a smile on her face, but Dalian snorted and turned her head away with a look of displeasure on her face, not looking at Li Xuan and the girl.

"Then I will take you to visit your grandfather's study right away, Lord Desward." The girl's respectful statement made Li Xuan frown.

After all, he is not from the Desward family: "Don't be so polite, just call me Xuan, or Li Xuan, Miss Lilburn."

"That's not possible, Sir Desward." The girl was still smiling and behaved appropriately.

But when Dalian saw Li Xuan and the girl smiling so happily, her unhappy expression became more and more obvious.

"It's really spectacular." Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Colonel Lilburn's study. The entire study was surrounded by summer vacation and books. Even the sides of the door and the wall between the windows were inlaid with Bookshelf, it seems that the owner of the study is unwilling to leave any place where books can be stored.

"My parents died early. After my grandfather died, I inherited this mansion together. But how to judge the value of each book, I am completely confused and have no way to start." Miss Estila said slightly embarrassed road.

After Li Xuan casually opened a book, he suddenly said: "I see, that's why I have to get rid of that guy Wes to do the appraisal."

Suddenly, there was a series of music, and I couldn't help but curiously asked: "Huh? Who is this sound?"

"Ah, it's a clock. The clock in this mansion plays music every hour. Because my grandfather made a fortune from music boxes, it seems that this technology is also used here..."

The room gradually dimmed, which made Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head, lit a lamp, looked at the gloves on his hands, shook his head and said, "Dali'an, what do you think?"

"It's far behind Wes's collection." Darian said calmly, holding the book in her hand.

"That's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about Miss Lilburn." Li Xuan glanced at Dalian helplessly, knowing that this girl deliberately changed the subject, he couldn't help but say.

Darian commented unceremoniously: "The figure of a child."

Dalian's unkind comment made Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh. He looked at the dusk and the forest outside and murmured to himself: "Why do you live alone in such a remote place? The surroundings are clearly so deserted. Why? Well, or...what are you afraid of?"

"Are you very concerned about that toddler's figure?" Dalian glanced at Li Xuan in surprise, with an unhappy expression on her face.

"A little bit." Li Xuan did not deny that Miss Estila did make him a little concerned, whether it was her behavior or her stiff expression.

"You like that hairstyle." Dalian didn't answer Li Xuan's words, just turned her head and looked at the scenery outside and whispered.

Li Xuan and Darian were not in a high mood, so they didn't bother to provoke the other party. After all, this little girl was not very tall and not very strong, but her personality was very difficult to deal with. If something happened to her, I'm afraid the other party would be He would kick him in the leg without hesitation!

Although the little girl's figure was fine even if she was kicked, the metal armor on Dalian's feet made Li Xuan give up the idea and continue reading.

"Dang Dang." A polite knock on the door made Li Xuan raise his head. Not far away, a middle-aged man looked at Li Xuan and said, "Is it convenient for you now, Mr. Desward?"

Dalian glanced at the middle-aged man and continued to read, not intending to pay any attention to this guy.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, could only stand up. After all, no matter how you looked at it, he didn't look like he was inconvenienced.

"I'm Martin Guise, please give me some advice." The man who called himself Martin also walked in and stretched out his hand.

"To each other, I'm very sorry, Mr. Giese. I have a serious mysophobia, please forgive me." Li Xuan stretched out his gloved right hand, which made Martin stunned for a moment.

But Martin recovered in the next second, held Li Xuan's hand and smiled: "A beautiful person like you, if you don't have mysophobia, it will be troublesome."

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched involuntarily. Although the other party cleverly avoided the topic of gloves, he brought up the matter of appearance, which made Li Xuan almost lose control and open the King's Treasure...

Chapter 12 Clear explanation

"Mr. Geese, I'm sorry, please..." The British name is preceded by the given name and followed by the surname. It is exactly the opposite of China, Japan and other countries. Unless they are very close people, other people can only call each other by their name. Last name instead of first name.

"Oh, I'm Estila's cousin, and now I'm her guardian. Once a week, I come here to check on the child. Anyway, this place is deep in the mountains." Martin met Li Xuan I didn't want to mention my appearance too much, so I suddenly realized that as a male, I would prefer to be called handsome rather than being called beautiful by others.

Li Xuan frowned and said in confusion: "Are you the one who let her live here?"

"Well, I also arranged the servants." Martin didn't mean to hide anything. He nodded and told the truth.

"Then why are you keeping her here? Are you afraid that someone will hurt her, or are you afraid that she will hurt someone?" Li Xuan glanced at Martin in confusion, and pointed the question straight to the point!

Martin looked at Li Xuan helplessly and said, "It seems you have misunderstood. It was not my decision to let this child stay here."

"Does she want to stay here?" Li Xuan looked at Martin differently. Although there are people who know the weird personality, there must be a reason for this, right?

Martin turned around and said a little sadly: "That's not the case. This is a curse. The child has reached the age of marriage. Naturally, people will come to talk about marriage, and there have been cases where it has developed into an engagement; but an engagement All were killed without exception."

"Killed?!" Li Xuan looked at Martin in surprise. This kind of joke was not random, let alone talking about his cousin!

"More than that, you know the child's parents, right?"

"I heard that he passed away a long time ago. Could it be that..."

"Yes, they were killed, and several other servants were also..."

"Then who is it? Haven't you checked?"

"I don't know either, but what all the deceased have in common is that they all wanted to take Estila out of the house, so they were cursed. I checked many times, but in the end nothing was found."

After Martin paused for a moment, he said: "Yes, it is the cursed book by Colonel Lilburn. The reason is the book. The book that the Colonel got is still hidden somewhere in the house. If you want to say that, then The child is controlled by the phantom book..."

Li Xuan walked into the house holding two books that he liked to read. He looked at Dalian who was sitting on the bed and still reading calmly and said with a smile: "How about it, are Colonel's books still interesting?"

"Yes, it's different from Wes's hobby. It's very interesting. We don't have books written using foreign laws like this at home." Dalian said while reading with her expression still calm.

"Really, that's good." Li Xuan put a stack of books on the chair to attract Dalian's attention.

Dalian looked at it and couldn't help but asked curiously: "What is that?"

"It's records related to Colonel Lilburn and diaries. There should be relevant records in them. People shouldn't disappear and be killed without any reason. There must be a reason for it." Li Xuan calmly picked up a diary and started reading it.
