Chapter 566 Mr. Lanqi invites you to be his guest
As night falls, the lights in the palace gradually light up.
In the princess' bedroom, Lysandra, dressed in the attire of a court maid, bowed gracefully to the princess and said goodbye, then left with steady steps, ending her day's work.
As a poor descendant of a noble family, in the royal capital of Naikaris, apart from some unfamiliar relatives, the etiquette she learned since childhood was the last evidence of her so-called noble bloodline.
"How can I please the princess tomorrow?"
Walking out of the palace, she walked along the path and sighed. On both sides of the stone path were carefully trimmed shrubs and tall statues, which almost obscured her figure.
The only job given to her by the Fallen Lord Kaliela was to keep the princess happy until she got married.
If she completed this task successfully, she would certainly be favored by Lord Zhuiluo. Not only would she be able to keep this well-paid job as a court ceremonial officer, but she would also be able to continue doing this job for a long time.
Correspondingly, if something went wrong, she would basically have no chance of staying in the Demon King's City Nakaris anymore.
The princess is actually very smart.
She could probably guess Lord Fallen's arrangements, so sometimes even when the princess was clearly feeling uneasy, she would appear calm for the sake of Lysandra's safety.
This made Lysandra feel even more guilty.
In the night, the fragrance of flowers on the streets of the Demon King's City became stronger. She boarded the magic vehicle and then began a long transfer.
She crossed an ancient and magnificent bridge, and beneath the bridge was an endless bay with sparkling waves.
On the other side of the bridge is the avenue leading to Leith Island, with lush trees on both sides of the road swaying in the wind.
Lysandra didn't know how much time had passed. She only remembered that she yawned more than a dozen times. After riding along the beach of Lis Island, she finally walked along the path to the courtyard of a small house hidden in the woods.
The cabin is built of wood and stone and is surrounded by lush trees and vines, giving it a secluded feel.
But this isolation is exactly why the rent is cheap.
The area where Lysandra rented was the strangest community in the Demon Realm capital, Nakaris.
It is located on the slender and colorful island "Lees Island" just east of "Naika Island" where the royal palace is located.
In addition to many natural wonders, the shape of the land on Leith Island is also rare. This place is 20 kilometers away from the city, like a huge triangular cake, extending into the most pleasant sea - the vast waters of Leith Island Bay.
Lysandra's small house was located at the top of the extended island, sandwiched between several large mansions whose annual rents were so high that she could not imagine.
Although the outline of the palace can be seen from afar across the bay, one has to get up early and go around in a long circle every day by vehicle to cross the bridge to reach the Naika Island Palace opposite.
The building closest to the left was the one she could see every day when she looked up when she entered the house. The main building looked more like the Naikalis Municipal Palace, with a suspended corridor connecting it to a brand new tower with green vines climbing on it, as well as lawns and gardens of the size of a royal palace.
That was the palace restaurant set up by the mysterious demon. It seemed that the neighbor himself also lived on the top floor of the mansion.
Recently, she had heard more and more rumors about that neighbor, and Lysandra vaguely heard his name.
Probably a male demon.
Except for his name, everything about him is a mystery, even his gender is guessed by the demons.
Lisandra opened the fence of the small courtyard. Although her house had the same sea view as her neighbor's, it was too inconspicuous, even shabby, so that its existence was completely hidden by the next door. It was difficult for people to find that there were ordinary residents here, so the rent was low enough for her to accept.
However, when she first moved here, the neighborhood wasn't as exaggerated and lively as it is now.
When she got home the other night, she almost thought her house was on fire.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening. Lysandra saw one side of the bay, which was probably where her house was located - it was brightly lit, and after turning the corner she realized that it was the palace restaurant next door that had been renovated at some point.
At first, the demons were just curious about what this magical palace was.
In just a day or two, its food and activities exploded and captivated the demons of Nakalis City, becoming one of the hottest topics in the surrounding area in the past few days.
If she sublet the house now, she might be able to make several times the difference and move to Naika Island near the palace to rent a better place.
"There's no rush. After all, I've been very busy with work recently."
She said with a sigh.
You know, moving is a very stressful thing.
For now, living here is quite comfortable.
Although the new neighbor was quite high-profile in some ways, he was very careful to close his shop before midnight and keep the surroundings very clean. Lisandra didn't feel that he caused her any trouble.
Instead, there is one more thing to show off, such as being neighbors with such wealthy people. It feels like I have returned to the glorious era of my ancestor, the Duke of Puckley, and I feel more like a nobleman.
Just as Lysandra walked into her own courtyard.
"Miss."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded in the darkness not far behind her, scaring her so much that she turned her head around suddenly.
Lysandra is not good at fighting.
Although the security in this area is pretty good, there have been a lot of eyes and ears lately.
The big demons also took Zhuiluo Qing into consideration and would not rashly touch or hurt her.
All Lysandra saw was a butler-like demon, with only his angular jaw and cold lips revealed in the shadows of the moonlight and lamplight.
"Who are you?"
After making sure that the other party had no hostility, Lysandra subconsciously tightened her handbag and asked with her neck shrunk.
Although he was wearing a dark blue retro striped butler uniform, his temperament was more like a retired demon officer, not even an ordinary non-commissioned officer.
"I'm the manager of the restaurant next door, my name is Luca. Our master wants to invite you to his party. He feels very ashamed that he hasn't had a chance to greet you as his neighbor since he moved here a few days ago."
Lieutenant Colonel Luca walked across the lawn, keeping a certain distance, and politely handed a letter to Lisandra.
"……Thanks."
Seeing the other party's gentlemanly and serious attitude, Lisandra felt relieved and walked up to take the letter and opened it.
The handwriting on the thin paper was very elegant and the content was concise and clear.
As the housekeeper said, the wealthy neighbor wanted to invite her to dinner in the palace restaurant, especially since the restaurant was hosting an event at the moment, like an unprecedented party.
Signed—"Rocky McCarthy".
"McCarthy?"
Lysandra finally determined the exact name of her next-door neighbor from several versions of the rumors.
