(My apologies, there's only one chapter today. I have a terrible headache today and slept all day at home. I only woke up at night and ate some food. I barely managed to write so much, but I really can't keep it up.
There's only one chapter today, and the word count is a bit low. I'll see if I can write more tomorrow.)
Chapter 388: Writing
When Philip walked in, the young man's face was calm. After training in the northwest for nearly three years and following Du Wei's lead in the northwest, this young man had gradually transformed into a mature and wise man.
His young face carried a maturity that didn't match his age, and the gaze in his eyes was as calm as water, without any ripples.
After walking in, the current second in command of the Desa Province's administrative system had a calm expression. He first bowed to Princess Louise, who was in front of him. Although the nominal owner of this place was Miss Dailey, Philip's action clearly expressed his respect for the princess. At the same time, it also faintly revealed the other party's identity: I know who you are.
His gaze was like a deep pool. Even when he saw Luoxue, such an outstanding person, Philip was only momentarily surprised before quickly regaining his composure. Although it was somewhat deliberate, this bearing was already extraordinary. No wonder many of Du Wei's subordinates felt that this Mr. Philip was a talented prime minister.
"Your Highness …" Philip muttered to himself. Although Dailey hadn't married the Prince Regent yet, her status as a princess had already been established. However, the way he addressed her still made her feel slightly uncomfortable. She interrupted him and said, "Sir Philip, please call me Daley. I'm not a princess yet. "
"Alright, my two noble ladies." Philip glanced at Dailey before his gaze immediately fell on Princess Louise. His words were clearly directed at Princess Louise. "According to the traditions of our Luo Lan City, these few days are the Duke's Mansion's auction for the next season's business purchases in the Desa Province. In order to achieve the harmony that the Duke said, we will hold a banquet in the Duke's Mansion tonight. Those who attend the banquet are all people of high status in the Desa Province, as well as some representatives of families from all over the continent … Yes, I just learned that the two noble ladies have also come to Loulan City. Since the two of you have such honorable statuses, it would naturally be best if you could attend this banquet. "
After Philip finished speaking unhurriedly, his gaze fell on Luoxue. "This is …"
"This is Mr. Luoxue from the north … Yes, he's my friend." Princess Louise was silent for a moment.... She didn't have time to probe the origins of this mysterious beauty, so she could only give Philip a vague answer. Philip glanced at Luoxue a few more times and didn't say anything, only nodding his head. Although he was full of admiration for this stranger's appearance and demeanor, Princess Louise was still the younger sister of the Empire's current Regent. Her status was incomparably noble, and it wasn't strange for her to recognize some of the talents of the noble families.
"Will the Tulip Guild be attending tonight's banquet?" Dailey knew that the princess wouldn't be able to ask, so she asked instead.
Philip immediately shook his head with a regretful expression. "I'm very sorry, but the Duke is currently not in Loulan City. He won't be attending tonight's banquet. However, although the Duke can't attend, our future Duchess, Miss Vivian, will attend on his behalf. It's the same. In the entire Loulan City, and even the entire Desa Province, who doesn't know Miss Vivian's identity? In addition, Mrs. Lister and her sister will also be attending tonight's banquet. I think the two noble ladies won't feel lonely tonight. "
After he finished speaking, he gently clapped his hands. Following the sound of clapping, a few people dressed in the servant attire of the Duke's Mansion immediately walked in with quick steps. Each of them held several different kinds of boxes in their hands. The lids of the boxes were all open, and inside were some gifts.
"The two ladies have come from afar. Although the Chamber of Commerce doesn't lack many things, it still isn't as prosperous and comfortable as the Imperial Capital. Our Duchess, Miss Vivian, was worried that the two of you wouldn't be used to living in the Northwest, so she had me send these things over. Of course, if the two of you aren't used to living here, it would be better for you to move to the Duke's castle. "
With that, the servants placed the gift boxes on the table. It was nothing more than a few sets of fine fur robes, some fine spices for women, fine pearls from Nanyang, and so on.
These gifts weren't from Vivian, it was naturally Philip's idea.
"Also, since the two of you came from the Imperial Capital, I'm afraid the two of you may not have brought your formal attire for the banquet. Our Duke's mansion has several fine tailors, all of whom were hired at a high price from the Imperial Capital. There are also etiquette masters from the palace who have taught them. I guarantee that they will satisfy the two of you. If there is a need, I will send them over in the afternoon. "
Philip only sat for a short while and spoke with the two women for a while before taking his leave. However, when he came out, he looked at Luoxue with interest and said meaningfully, "Mr. Luoxue doesn't look like an ordinary person. If it's convenient tonight, please come with us."
Luoxue narrowed his eyes. His expression seemed to be somewhat feminine. He suddenly said, "Mr. Philip, I heard that the future wife of the Duke of the Tulip Family was a genius female magus on the continent. Her teacher was the already deceased Master Gandorf, the publicly recognized number one magus on the continent, right?"
"Yes." Philip stared at this mysterious stranger even more carefully. "Could it be that Mr. Luoxue is interested in this?"
"Oh, I'm only interested in magic."
After hearing this, Philip looked at Luoxue with a deeper gaze and asked straightforwardly, "Oh? Forgive me for being presumptuous, but may I ask what is your full name, Mr. Luoxue? "
Beside him, Princess Louise's spirits were also lifted. She had been curious for a long time and had been trying to find out more about Luoxue. However, Luoxue's eloquence was too good. He used his peerless demeanor to make the two women somewhat addicted to him and messed up their intentions to ask more questions. Furthermore, Princess Louise's true identity was not convenient for outsiders and it was not convenient for her to directly ask. On the Roland Continent, it was very impolite for a woman to directly ask for a man's full name.
Fortunately, it was much more convenient for Philip. Moreover, he was a man and would not be rude to ask such a question.
"Oh, my full name? Please call me Luoxue. I don't have a full name, just Luoxue. Because when I was born, there was heavy snow falling from the sky.
Philip and the two women were stunned by this answer.
Just "Luoxue"?
Could it be that he was lying? On the Roland Continent, anyone with status had a family name. The name of a family name often represented the glorious history of the entire family.
Only the low-level untouchables did not have a family name.
However, looking at Luoxue's appearance, whether it was his demeanor or the way he spoke, he definitely did not look like a commoner.
"Oh, then please forgive my presumptuousness," Philip said faintly. Philip said faintly, "I just saw that Mr. Luoxue's speech was extraordinary, and from your handsome appearance, I thought you were a distinguished guest from a famous ancient family that I know."
Philip actually stopped asking about Luoxue's background.
After sitting for a while, Philip stood up and bid farewell. His actions were still very respectful and polite to Princess Louise.
However, after walking out of the Chamber of Commerce and turning a corner with his people, he suddenly stopped.
Philip stood where he was and turned around to look at the Chamber of Commerce in the distance. He immediately pulled over a capable subordinate beside him and said, "Go get a group of people here. Get them to change their clothes and patrol the surroundings of this street! I want someone to keep a close eye on every single person who walks out of here. Especially Miss Daley and her female companion! Hmm … And … "Philip thought for a moment and added," There's also an extremely handsome man. Get a group of people to keep an eye on him. Keep an eye on him! "
When his subordinate heard this, he was about to go and do it, but Philip suddenly seemed to have thought of something and pulled him back. "Wait a minute! Go to the Duke's Mansion immediately to see Sir Alpha about this. Tell him that I want him to do it personally. I think that young stranger is not ordinary. There are no masters among our men watching him. I am worried that it will be inappropriate. Go ask Sir Alpha to tell him what I mean and ask him to do it. "
The subordinate was stunned. "Sir, is this really necessary?"
"Humph, you have no idea. When Luoxue and Miss Daley were talking, they were not respectful at all. Instead, they were naturally cold. If it were an ordinary noble, they would not even have time to curry favor with them. How could they put on such airs? I think this Luoxue is not ordinary. Keep an eye on him. "
After giving these orders, Philip thought carefully again and did not feel that there was anything wrong. He asked himself if this arrangement was appropriate enough. But for some reason, he felt a little uneasy.
Also, that guy called Luoxue, his smile really made him feel uneasy.
•
In the Chamber of Commerce, after Philip left, Luoxue acted as if nothing had happened. However, the two women felt very strange.
No matter how they looked at it, this Luoxue seemed to be a peerless young talent cultivated by a noble family. They might just be a commoner without a family name.
As they were thinking, they suddenly heard a person from the Chamber of Commerce rush in and report.
"Miss … Miss, there is someone outside. This time it is the Holy Virgin of the Shrines of the Roland Continent, Princess Verona of the Empire.
Her Highness the Holy Virgin?
After hearing this, Daley's first reaction was to look at Princess Louise.
The relationship between Princess Louise and the Saintess could be said to be very strange. On the one hand, the Holy Virgin was the daughter of the Crown Prince and this princess was the Crown Prince's younger sister. Therefore, although the two of them were about the same age. However, in terms of status, the Saintess still had to address Princess Louise as' Aunt '.
