“It has been a long time, Ms. Eberlen and Miss Lafaya.”
"The last time we met, I think it was... oh no, please come in first."
Andrew looked at Eberron and his adjutant, who appeared outside the room with serious expressions, with surprise. After a moment of stunned silence, he stepped aside and politely invited them inside.
"It was when the three legends were discussing the allocation of war zones that you were pushing Knight Fera's wheelchair, while I stood behind Grand Duke Coldthorn."
Without a moment's hesitation, Eberron recounted the scene exactly as it happened.
For a recorder, this level of memory ability is nothing special; Eberron doesn't even need to actively recall it.
"In addition, aside from the eye contact at the time, this was our first formal conversation."
After saying this, Eberron sighed silently and turned to Andrew.
Although he was dressed in military uniform, Eberron still bowed his head to Andrew and made a gesture as if a lady were lifting her skirt.
Her heroic air dissipated, and Eberlen displayed the elegance befitting a noblewoman.
"Eberron Teton, the current personal scribe of the Grand Duke of Coldthorn and a member of the Silver Council, greets you."
Ugh, what an annoying and troublesome custom.
Although I felt disgusted, there was nothing I could do; it was a constraint imposed on those of nobles.
Although the Teton family is still a member of the Silver Council, it is not as powerful as the Yinlai and Jaslin families, and can only be considered to be in the middle ranks.
Of course, even this alone is far superior to Andrew's newly revived family.
"Andrew, a warrior of the Knights of Ferra, greets you."
Does not including family members indicate a lack of self-esteem?
But looking at Andrew, who was poised and smiling as he bowed respectfully, Eberron felt that the other man didn't seem like the kind of person who would feel ashamed because of his family.
Although the other family has been in decline for a long time, with the joint recommendation of Jia Silin's family and Yin Lai's family, there will basically be no family members who would obstruct the process.
It's practically a done deal that he'll be able to return to the Silver Council.
Moreover, Andrew's personal value is quite high. Having won the Star Chaser competition and earned the title of "Star Chaser," he is an outstanding young nobleman.
Whether it's demeanor, character, achievements, or appearance, the other person is excellent enough.
"They could even be ranked high on the list of marriage partners worth considering..."
By the way, the last person on that list is also very familiar; it's Anthony from Yin Lai's family...
Besides his personal character, a bigger reason was the engagement between the other party and Jasmine's family.
Although the Yin family is a very powerful family that is worth marrying into, not many nobles are willing to provoke the Jia Silin family, especially when the old man is still in charge of the family.
He invited Eberron to sit on the sofa opposite him and said with a smile:
"Please don't be shy. I'm not here in the name of the family, but only in my personal capacity."
It wasn't for the family, but rather a choice made in an individual capacity...
Recalling the other person's experience, Eberlen seemed to understand something and politely refrained from asking further questions.
"In that case, let's stop speaking in that stiff tone."
After relaxing for a moment, Eberlen went straight to the point and asked:
"What is your team doing here?"
This special squad's resolute request to go to the Bloodbath Zone was certainly not a spur-of-the-moment decision; there must be a special reason behind it.
So……
What brings you here?
With a slight smile and a tilt of his head, Andrew nodded elegantly, but instead of answering, he fell into deep thought.
Slightly narrowing his eyes, Eberron pondered for a moment and asked:
"Is it a secret mission?"
"Oh no, that's not it. We're not on a special mission, and it's not that I don't want to tell you. I'm just... thinking about how to explain it to you."
Andrew waved his hand, smiled, and shook his head, saying:
"First of all, I don't know Mr. Yin Lai's purpose. I suggest you inquire about it through family connections. As for my personal opinion..."
Andrew shrugged and smiled helplessly:
"You may not believe it, but I really just wanted to keep my friends company and not fall too far behind them."
Andrew was right about one thing.
Eberlen was indeed unwilling to believe it.
For such a dubious reason, he actually volunteered to go to the Bloodbath Zone?
Blinking, Eberron couldn't help but ask:
"You...do you want to die?"
Could it be that Andrew, having finally gained freedom after breaking free from his family's constraints, wants to choose his own way of dying?
"Haha, how could that be? I know it sounds absurd, but it is indeed a small, but crazy, idea of mine."
[I highly recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Give it a try!]
With a faint smile and a shake of his head, Andrew's smile faded, and he spoke firmly:
"Besides, I won't die so easily before I catch up with them."
She observed him suspiciously for a long time, but in the end, although Eberlen did not continue to ask, she did not sense any suicidal thoughts in him.
On the contrary, Andrew was filled with strong self-confidence at this moment.
And the will to strive toward a certain goal.
She had seen many, many people, and those with such willpower on the battlefield were the most likely to survive.
