The car drove through a 30-meter-long walkway, bypassed a mermaid-shaped fountain in the middle of the courtyard, and finally stopped in front of a huge Roman-style house.
"As expected of the Empire's princess, this house is really big." Sei Itō said as he opened the door and got out of the car and looked up at the building in front of him.
"Sir, please come in." At this time, a short-haired maid wearing a black short-sleeved skirt and a white floral apron pushed open the closed door and politely greeted him.
"You're letting me in just like that?" Sei Itō asked with interest when he heard the maid's greeting.
"Her Royal Highness has already ordered that if a stranger is sent here by Knight Marde, we must treat them well and not neglect them." The maid leaned forward slightly and said with her head lowered.
"I see." Sei Itō nodded and then followed the maid into the house. Then, Sei Itō saw a living room with an area of more than 200 square meters. The floor was paved with marble, and there were three sofas in the middle, one long and two short sofas. Above the sofas, there was a three-tiered crystal chandelier. On the innermost wall, there was a fireplace, and above the fireplace, there was a huge oil painting of a wilderness scene.
"Please sit down." The maid said as she led Sei Itō to the short sofa.
Sei Itō nodded and sat down obediently. Then, he touched the white fur under his buttocks and back, and asked the maid who was making tea at the other end of the room, "What kind of fur is this?"
"Polar bear's fur." The maid said indifferently.
"Damn." Sei Itō was surprised by the maid's indifferent tone, and complained in his heart, "Bear's fur is considered a precious product in the main world. But here they are using polar bear's fur. Looking at the area of these three sofas, it would take at least four adult polar bear's fur to satisfy them. In the end, the difference between a commoner and a princess is really f * cking huge. "
"Your tea." Sei Itō was cursing in his heart. The maid walked to his side with a teacup shining with silver light under the light. She handed the teacup to Ito Sei and said.
Sei Itō reached out and took the teacup. The moment his fingers touched the teacup, he discovered the material of the teacup. He was even more speechless and complained in his heart, "Using silver with gold inlaid at the bottom. Aren't they afraid of being poisoned?"
Sei Itō took a sip of the black tea in his hand and asked, "Where is Cornelia?"
Hearing Sei Itō's address the princess, the maid's forehead instinctively and a flash of anger in her heart. But when he remembered that the other party was a guest ordered by the princess to serve, he could only suppress the emotions in his heart. He lowered his head and said, "Not yet."
"Oh." Ito Sei nodded and continued to observe the layout of the room. But the more Sei, the more he, the more he couldn't remain calm. In the end, he had to force himself to withdraw his gaze and drink tea to stop himself from complaining.
But Sei Itō couldn't be blamed. The furnishings in Cornelia's living room were indeed the most luxurious he had seen since he transmigrated. The carpet was made of a complete white tiger skin. The chandelier was inlaid with dozens of diamonds. All the wooden furnishings were basically wrapped in gold. Even if they weren't wrapped in gold, one could tell from the material that they were made of precious trees. At least, the clothes rack at the door was made of Phoebe zhennan.
Just as Sei Itō was drinking tea to hide his thoughts. The closed door was opened from the outside. Then, a girl with long pink hair, wearing a tight long-sleeved dress that exposed half of her chest, and a yellow gauze skirt ran in and said, "Sister! I'm here! "
"Eh? Who are you? "The pink-haired girl who rushed into the room didn't find her sister in the living room. She asked Sei Itō, the only stranger in the living room.
"Your Highness Euphemia." Before Sei Itō could speak, the maid on the side had already saluted and said, "This is Her Highness Cornelia's guest."
"My sister's guest?" The girl named Euphemia tilted her head and looked at Sei Itō, then asked the maid, "Where's my sister?"
"Her Highness Cornelia hasn't returned yet," the maid said.
"Sigh. She hasn't returned yet. I didn't see my sister in the palace. I thought she had returned here. Really, "Euphemia whispered with a disappointed expression.
"You are Cornelia's sister, Euphemia Brittania?" Sei Itō said to Euphemia.
"Hello." Hearing Sei Itō's question, Euphemia remembered that her behavior was a little rude. She quickly pulled the edge of her skirt with both hands, bowed, and said, "I am Euphemia Brittania."
"You are indeed a beautiful girl," Sei Itō praised, and then introduced himself, "I am Sei Itō, your sister's friend."
"Eh? My sister's friend? " Euphemia looked at Sei Itō in front of her strangely. She couldn't think of what was so special about this guy that he could become her sister's friend. After all, in the entire noble circle, except for Guilford, who was Cornelia's guardian knight, who could barely be considered her sister's friend, she had never heard of anyone else who could be her sister's friend. It could be seen how rare friends were for Cornelia. Now, a man who claimed to be her sister's friend suddenly appeared in her sister's house. This made Euphemia curious from the bottom of her heart.
Then, Euphemia walked to the sofa opposite Sei Itō and sat down. She crossed her legs on the ground and put her hands together on her thighs in front of her lower abdomen. She looked very ladylike as she chatted with Sei Itō about Cornelia.
Time gradually passed by as Sei Itō and Euphemia chatted …
"Creak!" Once again, the door was opened from the outside. The sudden sound of the door knocking interrupted the two's cheerful conversation, and they both turned to look at the door.
"Sister!" Euphemia's surprised voice immediately sounded. The person who walked in was Cornelia, who had disappeared for almost a day.
"Euphemia," Cornelia called out in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"I heard that you came back, and I couldn't find you in your bedroom. I thought you would be in the mansion, so I came over. Who knew that you would only come back now? I had to wait for you for a long time." Euphemia quickly walked up to Cornelia, hugged her, and complained.
"When I went to your bedroom to look for you, I heard from the servants that you went out. I was wondering where you went." Cornelia smiled.
"Didn't you come back a long time ago? Why did you only come back now? "Euphemia asked as she walked to the sofa with Cornelia.
"I went to see His Majesty the Emperor and reported the situation to him. Then, I went to the military headquarters to discuss the EU issue with the bureaucrats. That's why I was late," Cornelia explained. Then, she said, "By the way, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
"No, I've been waiting for you to come back." Euphemia shook her head.
"Liz, go and inform them to prepare dinner." Cornelia nodded and turned to the maid who had been standing quietly behind her.
"Yes, my Lord." The maid responded, turned around, and left the room to inform the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Then, Cornelia turned to Sei Itō and said, "When I came back just now, I asked someone to help you organize the information about those factories. I believe there will be results the day after tomorrow. When the time comes, tell me the target you have chosen, and I will help you contact them."
"Okay." Sei Itō nodded.
"Also, I have ordered the materials you asked me to buy for you. However, the quantity is too large, so it may take a little longer. But I can prepare it for you within five days," Cornelia said again.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble." Sei Itō thanked her. Then, he looked at Euphemia and said, "Since the matter is settled, I won't disturb you and your sister. I'll take my leave first."
"Okay." Cornelia nodded and then said to the maid, Liz, who had just finished informing the kitchen to prepare dinner, "Take him to the guest room."
“yes，my lord。” The maid looked at Sei Itō, who was sitting on the sofa, and then walked to Sei Itō and led Sei Itō to the stairs on the left of the living room. Then, she led Sei Itō to the second floor and disappeared in a moment.
"Sister, you actually let a man stay at home for the night!" Euphemia looked at Cornelia with a surprised and gossipy expression.
"What's wrong?" Cornelia asked with a frown.
"This is the first time I've seen my sister let a man stay at home for the night. Could it be that Mr. Sei Itō is not just your friend, but also your boyfriend?" Euphemia said to Cornelia, full of gossip.
"What nonsense are you thinking?" Cornelia's frown deepened. She said in a bad mood, "And he said that he's my friend?"
"Yes, that's what he said," Euphemia said with a strange expression.
"Oh, that's good." Cornelia secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Sei Itō would say something like that in front of Euphemia. It would be bad if they made a fool of themselves.
"But are you really just ordinary friends?" Euphemia asked with a teasing look.
"Enough …" Cornelia was about to reprimand Euphemia when a knock on the door interrupted her. Then, a maid pushed the door open and walked into the living room. She bowed to Cornelia and said, "Your Highness, dinner is ready. Please eat."
"I got it." Cornelia waved her hand to dismiss the maid. Then, she turned to Euphemia and said, "Let's go eat."
"Alright," Euphemia replied with a smile, and followed Cornelia to the restaurant.
Cornelia and Euphemia had a heartwarming dinner. After dinner, the two chatted for a while. Cornelia ordered someone to send Euphemia back to the palace. Then, she turned and went to the second floor. She came to the guest room prepared for Sei Itō and knocked on the door.
