"plz follow me."

The steady housekeeper took care of the back of the tuxedo and led Salina through the carefully trimmed garden. With his eyes, the soldiers in charge of guarding the inner door used to turn the winch, and the heavy cast iron gate slowly rose with the sound of clicking mechanisms.

"What a good guard," Salina looked at the door that slowly raised like a turtle climbing, and sincerely exclaimed, "Any illegal person who dares to invade the Viscount's mansion will definitely hit the head in front of this door and burst into blood."

"Of course," Weirne laughed proudly and reservedly, "if there were really those ungrateful bandits, the musketeers and large crossbows on the wall would cost them a heavy price."

"This door also incorporates the latest demon-suppressing alloy to prevent the mages in the city from rebelling, or the mages among the invaders."

"Demon suppressing alloy?" Salina raised her eyebrows curiously, "I have never heard of this metal."

"Of course you haven't heard of it," Villeren laughed. "This is the latest achievement of Chelfidu. You can't find this alloy in the Empire."

"So that's it." Salina smiled, not asking why Villeren wanted to tell her such a stupid thing.

The two passed through the second defensive wall with tight defense, and the road in front of them finally became spacious and smooth. Behind the gate was the most core area of ​​the entire manor.

The straight road leads to the distance, like a sharp sword, splitting the huge main house on the earth and the fountain in the middle of the road into symmetrical left and right halves.

At the top of the marble fountain is a jade boy holding a water bottle. He drags the bottom of the water bottle with one hand over his shoulder, and holds the mouth of the bottle with the other hand. The extremely clear spring water flows out from the mouth of the bottle.

"This is the masterpiece of Master Koleveen," it seems that when he saw Salina's attention shifting to the fountain, Villeen, who was beside him, spoke up and introduced it to him. "Vissue Dimitri can't put it down. Every day, there will be a mage to replace the flowing water in the fountain, so that the water will always remain fresh and clean."

"What a good way to do it," Salina nodded in praise. "It seems Viscount Dimitri is an art lover."

"That's certainly," Villeren continued to lead Salina forward. "Our viscount has always had a strong interest in art, and of course music is here."

Weilen didn't say anything anymore, just smiled and nodded, continued to turn around, leading the way ahead.

On the left side of the road is a slightly smaller building, with loud neighing from horses coming from it.

"That is the exclusive stable for Lord Viscount," explained Villerenthisalina, "and it is full of Lord Viscount's love horses."

"Improve it," Salina raised her hand powerlessly and interrupted Villeren. "Along the way, I didn't seem to see Lord Viscount's industry? What you know is the traditional real estate industry."

Villeren was not angry because he was interrupted. On the contrary, the smile on his face became stronger after Salina asked, "That's certainly, the respected Ms. Salina and the wise nobles knew how to leave land for their family, and Viscount Dimitri was no exception."

He said this, stopped, turned his body, pointed his finger behind the manor, and lay dormant in the majestic mountains in the dark like beasts. "This entire mountain is the territory of Lord Dimitri!"

"This is really impressive," Salina raised her head, her expression on her face made people unable to see her true feelings. "What are Lord Viscount doing in the mountains?"

"A mine of its own, and at the foot of the mountain is a huge vineyard - although not as good as Ms. Rose's one, it is a very good vineyard in Chelfi."

"As for the slightly higher places, fruit trees were planted. Viscount originally intended to introduce tea, but unfortunately no one could plant it here. I'm afraid only those Orientals know how to take care of these fascinating plants."

During such a chat, the two walked past the left side of the fountain. The guards at the main house gate had already seen them, and someone immediately opened the door made of gold-shaped wood for them.

Salina saw a waiter turning back to the house in a hurry, and there was no doubt that he must have informed Viscount Dimitri.

"Ah, it seems that the waiters in the main house have found us," Villeren twisted the bow on his neck so that his neck would not be tightened. "Please follow me in, dear Ms. Salina."

The two stepped onto the cloud stone steps in front of the gate step by step, and the orange-yellow light of the kerosene lamp hit the top of their heads. The waiters who had been waiting for a long time surrounded them, took off their coats, and gave them hot hot towels.

Salina took the towel and wiped it hard on her face and hands. The heat on the towel quickly drove away the cold air from her body and made her stiff face regain consciousness.

"I hope this is enough to make you feel comfortable, Mr. Villeren, Miss Salina," the waiter who bowed and respectfully took the hot towel, "Vissue Demitri and Ms. Ivana are already waiting for your visit in the upstairs banquet hall."

"Thank you very much, sir."

Villeren nodded politely to the waiter, then turned to look at Ms. Salina, "Let's go up, Ms. Salina, Viscount Dimitri must not be able to wait."

They went all the way to the second floor, and the lamp holder on the second floor was full of kerosene lamps, and each kerosene lamp was filled with lamp oil, emitting an extremely bright light.

Viscount Dimitri was waiting for them at the other end of the banquet hall, beside him was Ivana with light makeup and a smile on her face.

Compared with the corridor where kerosene lamps are hung everywhere, the decoration and atmosphere in the banquet hall are obviously more retro. The four silver candlesticks on the table are the only light source in the entire banquet hall.

"Ah, welcome! Welcome!" As soon as Salina appeared from the banquet hall, Viscount Dimitri immediately stood up from her seat.

He moved to the side of his seat and opened his arms to Salina, "Since you saw it at the dance, your beauty and figure have occupied a place in my heart."

“I am very honored to be able to visit our manor this time.”

He said this and bowed slightly to Salina.

To be honest, Viscount Dimitri is not ugly, at least not consistent with Salina's imagination of fat and big belly-bearing - he looks at most twenty-five or six years old, his light brown hair is meticulously combed, and his tights are outlined with a perfect figure without a trace of fat.

And he is not bad either, at least he can be regarded as an extremely high-quality handsome guy in Chelfidu.

But somehow, facing his compliments, Salina just couldn't be happy and even felt a little disgusting.

"Uh, thank you..." Salina said a little embarrassedly, "I am deeply honored that you invited me here to visit."

"Let's stop being polite here," Viscount Dimitri smiled pretentiously, "Please take a seat and let's start to enjoy this sumptuous dinner - I've asked my chef to prepare it long ago, all of which are classic imperial dishes!"

Salina sat down with a smile, and the waiter next to her brought her napkins and cutlery.

"Please do it yourself," Viscount Dimitri sat down, "Ivana talked to me about your superb skills in the Rut. I'm so sorry I didn't hear it on the party-I have a few nobles I have to meet and a business that I have to discuss."

He cut the carefully cooked steak from the plate with a knife and fork, divided the delicious beef into small pieces that were easy to enter, and put it in his mouth with a fork.

He began to chew, and the extremely fragrant juice of beef exploded in his mouth, making his next words vague: "I hope... I can play the last song for us later, just treat it as my personal small request."

"Of course it's okay," Salina agreed with a smile, and picked up the knife and fork placed at her hand and put the beef into her mouth. "This beef is really good, reminding me of the Grandule Hotel in the Imperial Capital."

"That would be better," Viscount Dimitri laughed, "this is exactly what I want to do."

He put down his knife and fork, turned his head, "Come and give me one hundred and fifty gold coins tonight."

After the waiter bowed his body and left backwards to convey his instructions, he turned back with a smile and looked at Salina opposite the table, "In fact, it's not just for you to come to the banquet today... Well... Honestly, the second thing made me feel a little embarrassed to speak."

"Let me say it," Ivana, who was standing by, smiled and snatched his brother's head. "This is the thing, Ms. Salina - since my brother has fallen in love with you, I'm thinking maybe we can have a marriage between the two families? This will also be good for restoring the relationship between Strand and Eindhoven."

"What!?" Salina glanced at Ivana, then slowly stood up, opened her mouth wide and looked at Viscount Dimitri, "Is this true, Viscount Dimitri?"

"Of course it's true," Viscount Dimitri stood up suddenly and bowed to Salina solemnly. "You are as dazzling as the sun in the sky, and as soft as the moonlight in the middle of the night. I love you so deeply, but I dare not approach, for fear of being burned by the dazzling light you emit."

"But I can't control myself," he stepped out of his seat, "I love you so deeply, and my love for you is visible to the gods."

"Uh..." Salina took two steps back and showed a look of embarrassment, "Please let me think about it, Viscount Dimitri... This is too abrupt. To be honest, I am completely unprepared."

"Take a step back," she sighed, "even if I agree, I must return to Eindhoven and ask my parents for their consent."

"Ah, that's certain, that's certain," Viscount Dimitri's eyes showed a greedy and longing light, but he quickly controlled himself and sat back in his seat like a modest and polite gentleman.

"A hypocritical bastard," Salina sneered in her heart, "You can be considered a master in the pretending part."

Thinking of her, she felt a little gloating in her heart. "If you let me know my true identity," she thought maliciously in her heart, "Will you spit out all the food you eat today?"

"Wait," she suddenly thought of another extremely critical thing, "If I promised Viscount Dimitri... then in his capacity, he would not show off his own thing...and that might be my chance - the opportunity to weaken the Midnight Ghost."

"I'm sure that guy has set his sights on me," she thought happily, "if he knew that I had a preliminary engagement with Viscount Dimitri...the midnight ghost, who was dazzled by anger, might have launched an attack on Viscount Dimitri's estate."

"No matter what the final result is, it will be beneficial to me, or to the world - after all, neither of these two sides are good people."

So she sat back in her seat and looked at Viscount Dimitri opposite with a smile, "I can't make too much promise to you, respect Viscount Dimitri, but you are indeed a gentleman with outstanding appearance and excellent abilities. I am very happy to make an engagement with you."

"But like I said, it's a bit unruly to do this, so I was thinking, maybe we can reach a preliminary treaty first."

"That would be better," Viscount Dimitri laughed happily, and Ivana, who was beside him, also laughed, "I will announce this to All Chelfidu immediately."

Viscount Dimitri said with great enthusiasm, and Ivana raised his glass and lowered it slightly to Salina. "It seems that my brother will soon receive an excellent wife, and pay tribute to your upcoming engagement, dear Salina."

Salina also raised her wine glass, "Salute to you, my dear Ivana."

"Okay, OK," Viscount Dimitri raised his glass, "Let us all celebrate this good news! Maybe Salina can play the previous song-I saw the piano box at your feet!"

"No problem," Salina bent down and lifted the violin case from her feet. "Let this song be the symbol of our agreement!"

◇◇◇◇◇

The news that Viscount Salina went to Viscount Dimitri's house for the banquet soon spread throughout Chelfidu, and most of the nobles were excited about the news - which meant that the entire Chelfidu had a step closer to Ms. Salena.

Then a more important news was thrown out by Viscount Dimitri's sister Ivana Chastantin. Salina Noah and Dimitri Chastantin reached a preliminary engagement. If Salina's parents did not object to this, they would make a formal engagement and get married in the future.

The news was admitted a little later by Viscount Dimitri, who specially held a small banquet in his bar and invited most of the Chelfidu nobles to the venue.

It was at this banquet that he announced the news that was enough to shock Chelfidu. All the nobles present could not forget his arrogant and complacent smile.
