Chapter 189 Invitation
New Victory, Klein Manor.
"Why are there wilted flowers in the garden? Didn't I remind you again and again yesterday that every flower must be perfect? Go and cut that flower off!"
"Who threw the petals into the fountain without permission? I really can't figure out whether the fountain water or the petals got into your brain? Is it that spring is coming and your cerebellum is also going to bloom? Damn it, go and pick up all the petals on the water!"
After being silent for several months, Klein Manor suddenly became lively again one morning.
In the huge manor, servants and attendants were busy, striving to make everything appear in the most perfect state.
The stewards in charge of various sections of the manor seemed to be competing secretly, mustering their energy to organize every detail within their management area.
This nitpicking attitude seemed too harsh compared to the daily ease and tolerance of Klein Manor, but the servants in the entire manor did not dare to slack off.
Who doesn’t know that today is the day when Young Master Lu Yi returns home?
Although Duke Klein and Lord Astor did not say it explicitly, the servants in Klein Manor could clearly see how much they valued it.
Klein Manor must welcome the young master back with the best attitude.
…
When Astor resigned today, Lu Yi had already arrived at Klein Manor.
After hearing the news from the servant at the gate of the manor, Astor smiled for a moment, but soon his smile was suppressed and he returned to his usual cold and reserved attitude towards others.
"Let's go back to the main hall. We got off work early today, so we'll have dinner at home."
The servant driving the carriage silently drove faster. The short distance from the entrance of Klein Manor to the main house was several minutes faster than usual.
The servant opened the door for him, and Astor walked straight to the secondary dining room on the side - this was where the Klein family would dine when there were no visitors.
Sure enough, the other Kleins had already finished their meals and had no intention of waiting for him to come back to eat together.
Duke Klein, who was sitting in the main seat, even looked at him in surprise and gracefully put down the knife and fork in his hand.
"Ah, Astor, you left work so early today."
"It's within the normal time frame for resignation. My ability is still limited, and I can't solve the problem as quickly as my father does." Astor said with a wry smile.
"Good day, mother."
As Astor spoke, he slowly sat down next to Lu Yi.
"Lu Yi."
Facing his beloved brother, Astor finally showed a reluctant smile on his cold face.
"Brother." Lu Yi sold out his teammates without mercy, "Father has been at home this afternoon."
"Oh? It seems that father skipped work again today?" Astor suddenly realized.
Duke Klein was irritated by Astor's smile that said it all, and he immediately shouted, "Hey! What's that look in your eyes? It's outrageous!"
Astor said helplessly: "I just repeated my father's behavior. Please don't think too much about it. If you skip work again this month, your aunt will nag you."
Seeing Astra pull out Queen Klein, Duke Klein immediately deflated and said awkwardly: "I know, I know. Isn't today an exception? I think Lu Yi will be disappointed if he doesn't see his dearest father when he returns home."
Lu Yi immediately said, "No, father, I am twenty-one years old, not one."
Duke Klein said righteously: "Nonsense! In the eyes of your parents, you will always be children!"
"Sairen, no matter what, skipping work is really not a good idea." Mrs. Klein said slowly, "You clearly told me that you were on vacation this afternoon..."
Duke Klein's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he spread his hands towards Mrs. Klein and said, "I can explain this matter."
Mrs. Klein raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Really, dear Sairen, we still have a long time tonight, we can explain it properly."
Lu Yi had no idea how Duke Klein later explained it to Mrs. Klein. He only knew that he did not see his dear father again that night or the whole next day.
Astor, on the other hand, had a day off the second day and planned to spend the entire day at Klein Manor to relax.
Lu Yi had been traveling a lot in the past few days, so he decided to stay at home and rest with Astor.
However, plans always fail to keep up with changes.
The brothers' plan to stay at home was officially shattered after they received an invitation letter in the afternoon.
The servant handed the gold-plated hard invitation to Astor. After Astor saw the contents of the invitation, his expression became subtle.
Seeing this, Lu Yi asked curiously: "Brother, what is written on it?"
Astor did not answer, but handed the invitation letter in his hand to Lu Yi.
Lu Yi took the invitation letter and began to read it.
After reading it, Lu Yi was silent for a moment, and subconsciously looked through the cover of the invitation letter carefully.
It was indeed a personal letter from Queen Klein.
There is nothing wrong with the content of the invitation letter itself, it is just a very standard invitation.
The problem is that the outer cover of the letter does not match the inner contents.
This private letter belonging to Queen Klein did not contain a letter from their aunt Queen Klein, but a letter from their uncle, the newly victorious king, Victor V!
They had no right to refuse the monarch's invitation.
It was fine to go, after all, they had been to the palace many times.
But Lu Yi was quite puzzled as to why the king sent the invitation in such a weird and awkward way.
If it was just an invitation to the palace, Queen Klein could have delivered it. If it was an invitation from the king, why did he hide the invitation in Queen Klein's personal letter?
Lu Yi felt that something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it for a while.
Fortunately, Lu Yi is a humble and studious person. When he couldn't figure out the key to the problem, he immediately asked Aster beside him for help.
"Brother, do you know what this means? Why did His Majesty do this? Is there any deeper meaning?"
Astor shook his head and said, "Your Majesty must have a deep meaning in doing this."
Yes, then what? Lu Yi looked at Astor expectantly, waiting for him to continue.
However, Astor stopped talking after saying this, and stood up and urged: "Lu Yi, go pack up quickly, we are leaving."
The New Victory Palace is some distance away from Klein Manor, and it is getting late now. If it is any later, we may not be able to make it to the afternoon tea time written on the invitation.
Lu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Aster leave first.
[“857, do you think my brother might know something but is just unwilling to tell me?”]
[I think so too.]
[“Tsk.”]
[“It’s really unpleasant to know that someone is keeping a secret from you…”]
