The Duchess got drunk in the North.
Even when drunk, the Duke had to carry them off the carriage.
The knights accompanying the lady were completely bewildered. The lady was perfectly fine when she got into the carriage, so how come she's still drunk after returning from Erie?
Is that bowl of bloody maggie really that lethal?
"As expected of 'Mageli,' this liquor is really strong. Look, Madam hasn't recovered yet."
"Ah, it's a pity we're on a guard duty, otherwise I really wanted to have a good drink."
In the group, several married knights, led by Knight Balk, looked sympathetically at the group of single young men who were still discussing whether the Northern wine had a strong aftereffect.
"Hey, spring's coming, how about we organize a social event for these idiots?" the married Syrsis whispered to Balk.
Balk looked away. "If not this year, maybe next year."
Ciels looked sympathetically at the group of bachelors who had been talking about the effects of Magili's liquor and their drinking capacity. "Perhaps I should take them out for a taste of the real thing before the war starts."
Balk remained noncommittal, but suddenly remembered something, slapped Syrsis on the shoulder, and said seriously, "Don't go to the taverns in the city center, whatever you do, don't go to the taverns in the city center, remember that."
Silas looked completely bewildered. "Huh?"
Balk: "The people working in pubs are very 'unsafe' now, don't ask me why."
Silas: "???"
...
As soon as Li Aili returned to the castle, she ran back to the 'bestie base' in the south district and locked the door.
Well, when she got back, her boyfriend simply buried the accumulated work behind him, and didn't care whether the door was locked or not.
But the memory of that kiss in the train carriage still made her blush and her heart race.
At this point, you should drink a bottle of 'calming potion' to calm down.
Just as she was searching for the potion, Conrad's distinctive knocking sound rang out, 'knock, knock knock.'
"Come in, Conrad."
The doorknob moved slightly, and Conrad said helplessly, "Madam, you've locked the door."
Li Aili then hurriedly put down a pile of medicines and went to open the door.
As soon as Conrad entered, he saw medicine bottles scattered all over the floor.
Conrad: "..."
After hesitating several times, he couldn't help but speak tactfully, "If the master has done something wrong, I think a fine would be a good solution."
Li Aili: "?"
Conrad bluntly advised, "Force-feeding drugs is definitely not a good idea."
"In that case, you not only lost a precious potion, but you also didn't receive any compensation."
"Why not let the master lose some money, and you can save a bottle of medicine?"
Li Aili: What a reliable butler! She's learned something. ⊙o⊙
My mind has already started listing a huge number of specific 'fines' and their corresponding amounts.
Li Aili coughed lightly, "Is there something you need, Conrad?"
Conrad then remembered the important matter: "It's like this, madam, there are 16 special guests at the castle."
"The master means to ask you whether you would like to see them."
Li Aili looked puzzled. "Who?"
In a small drawing room of the castle, 16 people dressed in linen clothes waited nervously for news.
"Ben, will Duke Cold Emerald accept us?" One of the 16 people nervously tugged at his shabby linen clothes.
Ben Karsa's brow furrowed with a somber expression. "Do we have any other choice?"
When Li Aili walked in, all 16 people stood up at the same time.
But when they saw it was Li Aili, bubbles of disappointment appeared on their heads one by one.
Not a duke...
[So...I'm not trusted after all?]
[Damn it, are we really going to end up as lowly adventurers in an adventurers' guild?]
Li Aili: "..." Why do these people look so familiar to her?
Looking at the familiar-looking man at the head of the group, Li Aili suddenly remembered that these were the sixteen golden knights who had escorted Lord Kelan to the duchy.
After all, she had initially been eager to take over this corner of the wall, carrying a shovel.
Later, I heard that the king sent the group of golden knights to raise horses.
Lee Ellie was quite disappointed at the time, feeling that King Harry Clark was really wasting his talents.
Golden Knights, why don't you send them to do something better? The value they would gain would far exceed that of raising horses.
Li Aili took her seat. "Gentlemen, I remember you."
She looked at the leading knight, "I remember your name was..."
The golden knight reacted instinctively, and his name appeared above his head: [Ben Karsa]
Li Aili smiled slightly, "Mr. Ben Karsa."
At this moment, the Golden Knight, who had already experienced the bitterness and warmth of human nature, had red eyes and tears welling up.
During this time, they lived a life of humiliation in the capital.
The one in the capital sent them to raise horses, to be ridiculed and mocked.
Their knightly glory was gone, and they spent their days numbly under the contempt of others, living a life worse than death.
But who would have thought that the Duchess of Cold Emerald would remember the names of those she had only met a few times?
In particular, they never gave their names!
Li Aili, knowing when to stop, asked, "So, can you tell me why you've come here this time?"
In just a few seconds, Ben Karsa had made up his mind.
Ben Karsa began, "That's right, madam."
“Something has happened in the capital that we can no longer tolerate, so we have decided to seek refuge with His Excellency the Duke.”
At this moment, a maid came in and smiled as she served each knight a cup of hot tea.
