Chapter 6 A cold look appeared in the beautiful eyes...
After Fu You had treated his injuries and recovered his strength, he left the General's Mansion that night without even spending the night.
The next day, he appeared in the palace as if nothing had happened. Even the Knight Bo was impressed by Fu You's tenacious perseverance.
Fu You wore a high-necked shirt and a silver-embroidered vest. His slightly long blond hair was tied back with a ribbon. As he spoke with a smile, he looked elegant and noble.
He saw the Knight approaching, his emerald eyes curved, and he nodded slightly in greeting: "Greetings, General Mandeville."
Knight Bo looked at Fu You with deep eyes, but the other party always showed a flawless smile.
If he had not clearly seen the trace of bandage exposed at the junction of the young man's silk gloves and sleeves, he would have thought that everything that happened last night was just an absurd dream he had experienced.
Before Knight Bo could react, a male voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them.
"Are you making trouble for yourself again, Beaumont?"
They both turned around at the same time, and as expected, saw the red-haired young man walking towards them with his chin held high.
The young man was dressed in an exquisite suit, tall and slender, with a handsome appearance. He also had a pair of green eyes, but unlike Fuyou's, they were not as beautiful as gemstones. Instead, they were as lush and green as a forest. When he looked at people, he had a kind of insightful brightness.
"Greetings, Your Excellency Vaughan." Fu You's eyes curved. "It's been a long time since we last met, and you're still as dignified as ever."
After hearing Fu You's opening remarks, Knight Bo standing by couldn't help but look at him sideways.
"I don't need your casual greeting." Genna Vaughan snorted and turned the fox family crest ring on his thumb.
Fu You was not displeased by the other party's impolite attitude.
After all, this was his number one political enemy—the guy who directly planned to kill him in the original plot.
Gunnar, always a decent man, disliked him greatly, and at this moment his sarcasm was almost considered friendly.
Fu You's expression remained unchanged, and he was about to say something lightly to smooth things over.
However, before he could open his mouth, Knight Bo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"After your audience with His Majesty, if you have time, you can come visit us." The man lowered his eyes, his high brows casting a deep shadow across his eye sockets. "Flora said she really wants to see you."
Fu You looked into the other person's eyes, a little surprised.
"My pleasure." But he immediately reacted, smiled and agreed, saying that he would definitely keep the appointment.
Knight Bo then withdrew his gaze. He still had some matters to discuss with other military leaders, so he left with steady steps.
Gena stood there with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
He couldn't believe it, and kept looking at the departing Knight Bo and the Fuyou in front of him. His eyes were as incredible as if he saw 100,000 Zergs dancing a striptease in front of him at the same time - after all, before this, he and Mandeville had an unbreakable anti-Fuyou alliance.
But now, that guy Mandeville actually took the initiative to invite Fu You to his home as a guest?
Even in the name of his precious brother? !
No, could it be that Mandeville's wooden brain was finally shaken by the mecha?
Just as Gena was still standing there doubting his life, several rows of eunuchs came out of the inner court respectfully and in an orderly manner.
His Majesty has appeared.
The current king of the empire is Obelia III, a middle-aged monarch who looks very kind.
The nobles saluted respectfully. When Gena saw the man walking out of the inner court with His Majesty, chatting and laughing, he smiled again and quietly approached Fu You.
"I don't know what kind of magic potion you gave that Mandeville, Beaumont, but the Duke of Longbardi will show no mercy to you."
Gena lowered his voice, his tone full of mockery as if he was waiting for something interesting to happen: "You ruined his son's job. He's almost going to hate you to death."
Upon hearing this, Fu You suddenly chuckled softly and looked at him sideways.
A few strands of long, golden hair brushed gently across the young man's face, revealing his extremely beautiful emerald eyes. A smile, perhaps even arrogance, shone through his narrow, narrow pupils, and a chilling, poisonous aroma emanated from his beautiful eyes.
The ruby held in the snake's mouth on the earring sparkled in the sunlight, making it hard to tell which one was brighter, the ruby or the young man's eyes.
Gena seemed to be captivated by the look in Fu You's eyes. He was so stunned that he forgot to react.
Instantly, the smile in Fu You's eyes deepened. He sighed softly and said leisurely, "Not necessarily, Lord Vaughn. I've always been very good at turning enemies into friends."
Somehow, Gena felt that the other party's words "turn enemies into friends" were hinting at something.
He frowned slightly and looked at Fu You's profile, which had already withdrawn his gaze.
The next second, he heard the other party chuckle again.
Realizing that he was probably fooled by Fu You again, Genargen instantly became an internet celebrity!
He looked away in anger, probably because he was being fooled. But for some reason, the image of those beautiful blue eyes, as deep as a lake, could not be shaken off his mind.
…
There has been nothing new in the empire recently, so His Majesty exchanged a few words with the nobles and left early.
The crowd dispersed in twos and threes, and even Knight Bo left with the military. However, Fu You remained where he was.
On the side, there was Gena who was observing Fu You.
Grand Duke Longbardi, dressed in a silk robe embroidered with tiger stripes in silver thread, slowly rose from his seat of honor and left. He had not appeared at court for a long time, but his reputation as a tyrannical duke remained unshaken. No one wanted to cross his path, and they respectfully made way for him.
However, when Longbardi passed by, Fu You suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, the Grand Duke."
There was an uproar all around, and everyone looked at the new earl in surprise, who had just had a feud with the Grand Duke.
Longbardi stopped in his tracks. The Grand Duke, well-maintained, still looked like a middle-aged man. His dignified face, expressionless, looked at the young man who had stopped him.
Even if no one spoke, the aura was enough to make it hard to breathe.
Fu You smiled slightly and bowed, "I apologize for the inconvenience this minor misunderstanding between you and your beloved son has caused you. Therefore, I have personally written a written explanation of what happened at yesterday's banquet, which has been submitted to Your Majesty by the eunuchs."
As compensation, could I visit you and Sir Lawn tomorrow to express my apologies?"
Many of the nobles present had attended yesterday's banquet, and they certainly knew that Fu You was the one who was hurt.
Therefore, when they saw Fu You actually put himself in the position of the wrongdoer with such a humble attitude, everyone showed a look of surprise.
Longbardi looked straight at Fu You.
After a long while, he said, "Okay."
Fu You smiled even more respectfully. He bowed again to praise the Grand Duke's magnanimity and watched him leave.
Before Longbardi's figure completely disappeared from the palace, Gena, who had been stunned for a long time, finally came to his senses.
He frowned and raised his voice to question Fu You, "Is this what you call turning an enemy into a friend? Being servile and fawning, putting on a forgiving smile?!"
Gena looked at him with a look of deep disappointment: "Have you forgotten all the honor you inherited from the family crest, Beaumont?"
After saying this, Gena was ready to leave in anger - he didn't know where his anger came from, but from the moment he saw Fu You talking to Longbardi in that manner, it was as if a fire was burning in his chest.
He thought Fu You would be as indifferent to his unkind words as he was every time before.
But Gena had just taken half a step when a fierce fist blasted towards his side face and hit him hard!
Gena was caught off guard by the blow and staggered a few steps.
He subconsciously covered his face, and purple marks immediately appeared on the corners of his mouth, burning him with pain.
Gena looked up in surprise and looked at Fu You who suddenly punched him.
Fu You didn't say anything, but the smile on his face completely disappeared.
As if offended by what he had just said, the young man stared at him with his green eyes.
The unprecedented indifference in those eyes somehow made the fire in Gena's chest surge even more fiercely. His handsome face darkened, and he lowered his hand from covering his face and stepped forward, ready to fight back.
When the people around saw that something was wrong, they rushed over and separated the political enemies who had always been at odds with each other.
"Oh! Let's talk it over, Lord Beaumont. Why are you doing this?"
"Lord Vaughan, calm down. Earl Beaumont is still injured. Don't take him seriously!"
It was only after Gena pushed Fu You that he remembered that he had been injured yesterday. He calmed down a bit and retracted his strength in time.
But even so, Fu You's thin body was still shaken by his push, as if he was unable to stand steadily.
The slender hand then grabbed the hand that Gena extended, but its fingertips hooked on his palm.
Gena's whole body stiffened, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Fu You.
However, the contact between the two was only for a moment, and a young nobleman behind him hurried forward to help Fu You.
Fu You seemed to have been hurt. His slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, revealing an expression of suppressing pain. He suppressed his breathing and said something pitifully to the noble. The noble's face suddenly turned red and he helped Fu You away.
Throughout the whole process, he never even glanced at Gena.
When the people around saw that the farce was over, some who had a good relationship with Gena came forward to comfort him. However, seeing that Gena was staring at the direction Fu You had left, they thought that he was still angry and stopped talking.
After a long time, Gena seemed to come back to his senses. His brows were still tightly furrowed, and he walked quickly to a secluded place.
Gena clenched his fist, and a folded piece of paper fell out of his palm, stained with wet blood.
His emerald green eyes touched the bloodstain, and the wrinkles between his brows deepened. As if struggling with something, Gena took a deep breath and finally opened the note after several seconds.
On the note, there was only a line of small words written in extremely beautiful cursive:
[See you tonight at 9 o'clock, Vaughan Manor^-^]
