"Well, this is my mother's sister, my aunt..."
Charles looked at Madam Hong, then told Xingyan that this was indeed a relative of their family.
But he didn't know why this aunt suddenly came to visit the Duke. In terms of her status, it didn't seem appropriate, right?
"Then I guess I understand. I was probably planning to go see you."
Xing Yan confirmed the matter directly and then asked Mo Lin to bring the cut cake over.
Although it was inappropriate to eat cake when it was almost time for lunch, he was used to being casual about it, and his body was no longer affected by eating.
Unless, it's the kind of daily meals at the Zoldyck house that contain toxins.
"It tastes good. I can let my Chi Tong or Mo Lin learn it too."
After tasting the cake, Xingyan was sure that Sebastian's competitive spirit was really strong.
This cake is slightly better than the one made by his chef, or it is slightly better in terms of technique.
...
...
Judging from his expression last time, Sebastian should also think the cake tastes good. Does that mean he has been studying hard in the past few days?
"No problem, you can ask Sebastian to come over and teach them. Of course, you can also let them go to my place. It's not far anyway."
Seeing that Xingyan enjoyed eating it, Ciel smiled with his eyes curved, and made it clear that it was not a problem at all for the demons to get together.
"It tastes really good. It seems that Charles has found a very good butler!"
Mrs. Red was eating the cake, but she didn't feel much about its sweet taste. Her heart was filled with certain memories.
It's just that at times like this, giving compliments is basic etiquette that everyone understands.
"Yes, that butler, he's very capable, right, Count Phantomhive!"
Xingyan tilted his head and looked at Ciel. He didn't like calling Ciel by his name directly.
Therefore, whether it was him or the people here, most of the time, they addressed Charles as Earl, the Earl next door, or just called him by his last name.
"Ah? Yes, indeed, you are capable."
Charles was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
That butler was very powerful and was his only support at the moment, but he was also a demon waiting to eat his soul!
"Okay, now that we've finished eating the cake, it's time to eat. Let's eat first and then play some games in the afternoon!"
Xingyan finished eating the cake and handed the cutlery to Mo Lin who was standing beside him. This was the second demon whose name he remembered.
However, because he is not very interested in snakes, most of the time he would ask Akagi to do things.
After all, he is a cat lover. Who can resist a cat that looks at him with expectant eyes?
"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Excellency the Duke. I apologize for not preparing any gifts this time. Please allow me to make it up to you next time."
After lunch, Viscount Dolit did not plan to stay any longer, but before leaving he was still thinking about coming back next time.
Although it might not be of much use, he was sure that as long as he could visit the Duke's house more often, his promotion to the position of Earl would not be far away.
There is another reason he can't tell, that is...
Your Excellency the Duke, you are such a charismatic person!
He found the unbridled arrogance, the coldness that looked down on everything, the soft and cute appearance, the beautiful young servants walking around the house, and even the multi-colored roses blooming on the wall so attractive!
"Sure. I prefer gourmet food. If I can receive delicious ingredients from all over the world as gifts, I probably won't mind your coming empty-handed this time, or the rude behavior of the courier having an accident."
Xing Yan looked at this viscount who was still handsome when he was silent, but was very good at courting death when he spoke and did things, but he could never die. He told him directly what kind of gift would interest him.
He actually didn't like this type of people, but this guy was pretty funny, so he decided to keep him and admire his way of committing suicide.
For example, now, if it weren't for the huge difference in status, would this guy want to attack the rose?
Just two days ago, after the flower blossomed, he asked about it, and the two butterfly demons said that this was a kind of enchanting plant that was relatively rare in hell and that even demons had to be careful with.
Even a demon might get hurt by it, but it's beautiful.
So, without the constraints of a contract, a few flower-loving demons discussed it and ran back to hell to bring a tree over...
All I can say is that these demons are getting more and more excited now that they can come to the human world without a contract.
If they were allowed to run wild, the whole of London might be destroyed in their hands.
"Then I will leave first, Your Excellency the Duke. I promise that next time I come to bother you, there will be no more messenger mistakes!"
Viscount Dorit didn't know what was going on with the messenger, but now he could only go back and investigate.
As for gifts and the like, if you know the direction, you can make this Duke happy, and then he can also get some benefits in the process.
Chi Tong sent the person out and then watched the Viscount's carriage leave.
Next, Madam Red couldn't leave even if she wanted to, because she had to wait for Charles to leave together.
But Charles had no plans to leave for the time being. Moreover, when the maid named Mo Lin came to entertain her, the two children had already gone out to play and could not be seen for the time being.
At this time, the two young boys had already run to the mountains, were fishing by the pond, and were preparing to have a barbecue.
The fish were bought by the servants and then kept in the pond.
Last time I went fishing it was just for fun, this time I was able to really catch the fish, and there was also soothing music playing next to me...
"My Lord Duke, why did you come here from the East? Are you used to the life here?"
Charles looked at Xing Yan who was sprinkling seasonings and marinating the fish, and suddenly realized that this man was not really a noble from Europe.
At least, on their side, no young master would do these things.
"It's OK. It doesn't matter where I am. As long as I am strong enough, someone will find what I like for me even at the ends of the earth."
Xingyan looked into Xiaer's eyes. There was curiosity and some worry in those blue eyes.
Are you worried that you are not living a good life?
Not quite sure what it was, Xingyan didn't bother to explore it, and just chatted with Xia Er about his current life.
Even the plants from hell have been brought here, so nothing is impossible.
However, the environment now is not the same as it will be more than a hundred years later, so all he can get are items from this era.
"As long as you are strong enough, you can do anything?"
Blinking, Ciel looked at his own hands, then carefully covered the eye patch with them.
He has already sold his soul to the devil. Is there any chance for him to become stronger?
Moreover, everything he did now was accomplished with the help of the devil. This was their deal and it was impossible to change...
But, he also wants to become stronger!
