Luther and his family sent off Old Thor, the Pompeii knight who went into the forest to clear out the danger, and other knights, and then returned to Pompeii Castle.
There was nothing much to do in the morning, so Luther decided to read some books to recharge his batteries. It would also be good to know more about the world.
Because of his continuous reading, Luther has basically read all the books in the Pompey family. Currently, Luther is asking someone to purchase books throughout the Orange Province.
After returning to the study, Luther picked up a book called "Five-Colored Dragons" and started reading it. This is a book that introduces the five evil dragons in the world.
After watching for not long, a guard came to report.
It is said that Miss Ruth has entered the castle and is currently being arranged in the small living room on the second floor.
Luther threw the book away immediately after hearing this. Who would care about books at this time? After throwing away the book, Luther first tidied up his appearance, checked his eyes to see if there was any eye mucus left, tidied his clothes, and just needed to touch up his makeup.
Of course, Luther doesn't wear makeup.
In short, after tidying up, Luther walked out of the study and arrived at the small living room.
When Luther arrived at the small living room, he saw many people, including Mrs. Sophie, Miss Ruth, a middle-aged man, and some maids.
Mrs. Sophie was wearing a blue dress and had light makeup on her face. She had a plump figure and sat elegantly, looking like a noble lady.
Miss Ruth is still the same, with her brown hair neatly styled and falling down softly. You can tell it is very silky without having to touch it.
Her delicate face is painted with light makeup, which makes her look very feminine.
The skirt she was wearing was rather conservative. The light yellow skirt had a high neckline, which concealed the smoothness of her neck, but it also had a slight drawback.
The tight design of the skirt made her plump chest look even more majestic.
Ha ha.
Luther invited Miss Ruth because of this reason. Luther liked plump women.
As for the middle-aged man, Luther felt that he should be a bodyguard.
When Luther came, Mrs. Sophie was talking to Miss Ruth, laughing and talking. When she heard footsteps, Mrs. Sophie turned around and saw that it was Luther, and said with a smile: "Ah, Luther is here, I have something else to talk to you about."
After that, Madam Sophie stood up and said to the middle-aged man, "Knight Xiuzhen, thank you for escorting Miss Ruth all the way. She must be hungry. The kitchen has prepared food. Please follow me."
Of course it's an excuse.
The middle-aged man called the Correction Knight was also very tactful. He bowed and said, "Thank you, ma'am."
With that, Knight Xiu, Lady Sophie, and the maids all left, leaving only Luther and Miss Ruth in the living room.
Very private environment.
But make no mistake, Luther wasn’t going to do anything.
To be honest, Luther has very little experience in this area. The two of them are currently just communicating through correspondence. Things have developed too quickly and Luther is a little thin-skinned.
Besides, Luther is still a bad person.
I just want to date, but I don't want to get married.
What a scumbag.
"Miss Ruth."
"Luther."
Miss Ruth stood up, and it was obvious that she was a little nervous, holding the hem of her skirt with her hands. Luther took the initiative to step forward and gently hugged Miss Ruth.
No kissing action.
After all, this was not Luther's previous life, and cheek kisses were very popular. In this world, people would only kiss each other gently on the cheek if they were very close, such as family members.
And obviously Luther and Miss Ruth haven't reached that point yet.
"Calculating the time, you arrived in Pompeii a few days late. What happened on the way?" After hugging, the two sat down together, and Luther asked with concern.
"Because it is the transition period between autumn and winter, the Baron recruited a group of mercenaries to cooperate with the family's knights to go into the forest to sweep the monsters. Therefore, there are few mercenaries at the moment. It is not safe to pass through a large forest on the way from Kaiyue City to Pompeii Territory. Dad was worried about my safety and searched for a long time before he found this corrected knight to escort me here."
Miss Ruth explained quietly.
But she was very happy to see that Luther cared about her so much.
This is still a pure little girl.
As for the Barton family also sweeping the monsters in the forest, Luther was not surprised. After all, Pompeii was also part of Barton Territory, and the entire southern part of Barton Territory was connected to the forest.
Not only Pompeii is threatened by monsters, but also Patton Territory.
In fact, as a vassal of the Baron's family, the Pompey family's mission is to serve as the outpost of Patton's territory, responsible for vigilance and defense.
This was the mission not only of Pompeii's family, but of many vassal families as well.
Miss Ruth's words also solved another puzzle of Luther. No wonder Miss Ruth, a descendant of aristocrats from a small merchant family, had knights as guards. They turned out to be mercenaries.
Temporary guard.
However, even as a temporary guard, the price of hiring a knight is not cheap. It can be seen that Miss Ruth's parents are very supportive of their daughter coming to him.
Obviously, Pompeii is of high quality.
"So that's how it is." Luther showed a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, and then said with a smile: "It's not easy to come here, you have to have fun next time."
"Um."
Miss Ruth was shy and just hummed.
After Luther talked to Miss Ruth for a while, Luther decided to change the place. Although Mrs. Sophie was gone, this small living room was still a private environment.
But Luther still felt awkward.
And Miss Ruth couldn't stay in the castle at night, Luther had already prepared for this. There were several small villas around the castle that Luther kept for himself.
Before this, Luther had prepared a small villa for Miss Ruth to live in.
So Luther made the invitation, and when Miss Ruth heard it, she blushed instantly, even her ears turned red, so cute.
After hesitating for a moment, she did not refuse and nodded with a red face.
In fact, the relationship between the two was not as distant as Luther thought. At least during the months that Miss Ruth corresponded with Luther, she was not distant to him.
Of course the most important thing is that Miss Ruth likes Luther.
Since Miss Ruth agreed, the next step was naturally to change the venue. The two of them came to the small villa prepared by Luther.
The villa is a wooden structure with two floors.
With a small garden.
Kitchen, living room, bedroom, maid, Luther had everything ready.
By the way, Miss Ruth is also a piano student who is on the road to becoming a pianist, so Luther also specially decorated a piano room for her.
Luther even obscenely asked Miss Ruth to play a tune, the name of which was very straightforward.
It's called "lover."
Luther found it very interesting to see Miss Ruth playing the beautiful melody with a blushing face.
There was nothing much to say during the day, just these little details. There was nothing much to say at night either, Luther was still too embarrassed to make a move.
The main thing was that the two of them enjoyed a candlelight dinner, and Luther even coquettishly opened a bottle of red wine.
It was quite an expensive wine, never mind the brand. Luther didn’t understand it at all, and couldn’t taste wine, he just tried it for fun.
He only knew that the bottle of red wine was worth one gold coin.
But Luther was not heartbroken at all.
That night Luther and Miss Ruth both stayed in the villa, occupying two adjacent rooms.
The next day, Luther began his date with Miss Ruth, planning an aristocratic and elegant hunting trip.
