Ford and Leila prepared a set of viscount aristocratic attire.
But Ryan frowned when he saw the aristocratic attire.
He forced Eve to change him into a set of his usual clothes.
Soon the Hill family's carriage team arrived at the Gray family's manor.
The patriarch of the Hill family, Charlie Hill, got off the first carriage in a grand manner.
Shi Yu politely stepped forward and bowed slightly to Ford and the others as a knight's salute.
"Good afternoon, Lord and Lady Grey."
"Hello, Master Ryan."
The Hill family is an emerging viscount family, and its status is like the stars and the bright moon compared to the Grey family, an old marquis family.
The difference in status made Charlie respect him very much.
Even Ryan, who currently has no title, has the same status as a viscount... Of course, this is not an open rule, but a private rule among the nobles.
Ford nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, Charlie, we are not strangers. You were the fifth captain of my Lion Knights. You are welcome."
"Where's that girl Adele? I saw her once when I was little, but I haven't seen her since then."
Charlie smiled and waved to the second carriage in the convoy.
"Adele, your Uncle Ford is calling you. Come out quickly and don't keep your Uncle Ford waiting for too long."
Everyone looked towards the second carriage.
But the carriage did not move at all and showed no reaction.
Ford turned his head and looked at Charlie in confusion. Charlie didn't know what was going on for a moment.
He hurried to the front of the carriage and knocked gently on the door.
"Adele?"
But there was still no response from inside the carriage.
Seeing that there was still no movement in the carriage, Charlie quickly crushed the lock of the carriage door and opened it.
Ford and his group also looked into the opened carriage.
There was no sign of Adele inside, only a knocked-out maid.
Adele's disappearance immediately made Charlie panic.
The nobles attached great importance to face and ceremony. They had previously agreed to marry into the Grey family, but now Adele had disappeared. Wouldn't that be equivalent to standing the Grey family up and slapping them in the face?
Charles didn't want to become an enemy of his former Grand Master of the Knights Templar.
After all, he had seen Ford's cruelty towards his enemies.
He quickly used his fighting spirit to wake up the unconscious maid.
The unconscious maid gradually woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Charlie, the master of the house, standing in front of her and looking at her.
She was so frightened that she quickly stood up from the seat of the carriage and knelt down.
"Jia...Jia?"
"You are Adele's personal maid, right? Where is Adele?" Charlie asked hurriedly.
The maid looked inside the carriage, but didn't see the young lady and started to panic.
"Jia...Jia, I...I don't know either. This morning, the lady in the car asked me to have dessert with her."
"After finishing dessert, I couldn't help but fall asleep, and then... I was woken up by you, my dear."
After listening to the maid's description, Charlie's heart finally settled down.
Ford and Leila also looked at Adele's disappearing carriage with serious expressions.
Ryan, who was standing nearby, raised an eyebrow at this sudden incident.
Run away from marriage?
The first time in life.
It's a rare thing.
"Charlie, I need you to give me a reasonable explanation." Ford stared at Charlie with a serious tone.
