Like ice cream? I also like that this is not a problem, and pregnant women always have hobbies that are different from usual... Angel doesn't care about this. The chef she hired Intis cooks very average dishes, but Loen can make all kinds of popular desserts, including ice cream of course.
At this time, the two of them had returned to the door of the small living room. Ribak quickly introduced the situation of Best Baronet who was not on the guest list, and then left quickly to prepare ice cream and apology gifts.
Angel, after the maid Aisha opened the door, calmed down, walked into the living room, and came to the reception area near the balcony with an excellent view, where she met the three visitors.
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Aaron Ceres was a tall and thin young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses with a slightly cold expression. I heard that he was a famous surgeon, and Angel thought he was already a middle-aged man. At this time, she was a little surprised by the young man.
But Angel felt a little familiar with this face. She quickly recalled the couple who accidentally entered the battlefield when fighting Ms. D, the goddess of the Aurora Society, the last time she was in Backlund. At that time, Ms. D's flame spear was chasing Angel's escape route, but there were two ordinary people in front of Angel. She had to block the blow and fired the special effect of the "Good Luck" revolver with her backhand, severely injuring the "shepherd".
If I hadn't been lucky and triggered a 16-fold increase in damage, I might have died there. Of course, there was also the surgeon in front of me... Angel thought about it and looked at the only black-haired lady sitting there.
The latter has a gentle appearance and is about 25 years old. She is the kind of woman in her prime who has completely lost her youthfulness, but the years have not yet left traces on her face. Her belly is high under the loose dress. She is estimated to be more than 7 months old.
A little further away from the two people, standing alone on the balcony was a middle-aged man with short brown hair. His chin was a bit wide and his entire face was rectangular. This made his facial features somewhat flat and highlighted the bags under his eyes that were much more obvious than those of his peers.
"Sir Best, Mr. Aaron, Ms. Vilma, good afternoon."
Angel took the initiative to say hello.
When the three of them heard Angel's footsteps, they stopped looking out the window, looked over, and had completely different reactions.
Ms. Vilma's face, which looked a little fatter due to pregnancy, could not hide the envy. Aaron was surprised and appreciative, but relatively restrained. Best Baronet barely maintained a polite smile, but kept staring at Angel until the other party said hello, then coughed slightly to hide his gaze.
"Christine Teresa Miss, good afternoon. I'm sorry, your arrival has eclipsed the scenery outside the window. I couldn't find the words to praise you and was in a daze for a moment."
"Rather, I hope the guests will praise the gardeners' work."
Angel also gently exposed the other party's rudeness. She had long expected that this kind of embarrassment would occur sooner or later when she showed her face as High Sequence Demoness, so she was mentally prepared.
"Haha, the garden layout style here reminds me of Intis. They always like the serious layout of central axis symmetry, which is completely different from the open social atmosphere and radical dressing style."
Aaron doctor said with a smile.
"Loen always incorporates the characteristics of each country, whether it's good or bad."
His wife Vilma interjected.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Best calmed down, and several people took their seats. The servant brought black tea and coffee according to everyone's preferences.
Like most Backlund nobles, Best drank black tea. The Marquis black tea purchased by Female Butler from Angel made this Baronet nod repeatedly, quickly get rid of the embarrassment just now, and said:
"I heard from Chris that you just recently returned to Loen from Intis? Are you still used to the life of Backlund?"
"The biggest change here is probably that the air is much better than it was a few years ago. Everything else is the same as before, fast-paced but relatively conservative, as if every day is the same day."
Angel thought for a moment and gave an honest evaluation.
"The changes in the environment are due to the new laws promulgated by Your Majesty, as well as the initiative of industry leaders including Sir Best to make changes."
Aaron's words made Angel curious. "What is the profession of jazz?"
"I invested in several Lead White Factory and heating coal companies. At the beginning of this year, in response to His Majesty's new policy, I shut down some factories, upgraded equipment, and reduced pollution emissions. Haha, although this will cost me a lot, but seeing that the sky of Backlund is getting bluer and bluer, it is all worth it."
Best took a sip of black tea, the smile on his face seemed to be affected by the bitterness of the tea Distortion.
If I hadn't listened to Ribak's introduction before entering the door, I might have really believed your words... Angel chuckled secretly, and the information temporarily compiled by his butler flashed through his mind.
The Baronet family obtained the title of viscount in "Oath Betrayal War" more than 600 years ago. Family members have served in the military for generations. Although they have not been able to go further, they have at least maintained the hereditary title to this day. Unfortunately, due to some unknown reasons more than ten years ago, it was downgraded to Baronet, which is also commonly known as Lord. The fiefdom has also been reduced by more than half. I can only find connections, invest in emerging industries, and maintain a decent life.
But after Great Smog, the highly polluting factories and industries he mainly invested in were "taken care of" by Atmospheric Pollution Investigation Committee, and most of them were forced to shut down. The idea of upgrading equipment was probably just an excuse.
I just don't know if Dr. Aaron is really praising him, or if he is feeling weird after knowing the truth...
Angel calmly took over the topic, praised the other person a few words, and cleverly led the topic to Aaron's wife Wilma Gladys.
From the conversation, we learned that this woman was a middle school teacher. She took a long leave soon after becoming pregnant last year and concentrated on recuperating at home.
"When is ma'am's due date?"
Angel asked, his eyes resting on the opponent's abdomen, showing a heartfelt smile for the coming of new life.
The same smile also hung on Aaron's face. He subconsciously glanced at Madam's belly and said:
"Early July, two months to go."
Therefore, she was pregnant around October last year...Angel subconsciously calculated the date, and suddenly remembered why she was so familiar with these two people.
Not simply because he protected the opponent in that battle, but also because, as Klein once mentioned, in the belly of Vilma is a "monster" Sequence 1, "Reboot", "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin!
She is the mother of a Angel!
Thinking of this, Angel was on pins and needles, and suddenly she felt that the Feneport Coffee she bought at a high price no longer tasted good. She couldn't help but want to open Spirit Vision to see the lady's abdomen, but she knew that looking directly at a Angel might put herself in danger, and hesitation covered her beautiful face.
At this moment, the belated three-color jam ice cream with blueberry, strawberry and white icing was brought into the living room. No one else noticed anything strange about her, especially Vilma, the mother of Snake of Fate, who was taking the porcelain bowl handed by the servant and enjoying the jam ice cream elegantly, with a satisfied smile on her face.
This kind of informal visit usually consists of tea and coffee, with snacks rarely served to avoid staining the clothes. However, the happiness of the pregnant woman comes first. The other people did not disturb Vilma who was in high spirits, but quietly changed the topic and asked about Angel's life before returning to Backlund.
Angel wanted to spread his prepared identity through various chats, so he told Aaron and Best the prepared story in detail.
Her "setting" of herself is that of a poor girl who had to leave her hometown and go to Intis because her parents left when she was just an adult and she was bullied by other relatives. After operating in Trier for several years, "Christine" had a lot of savings, but it was difficult to adapt to the overly open atmosphere there, so he sold all his property and returned to Loen, hoping to start a new development in Backlund.
As for the experience in the past few years, Angel stayed in Trier for a few days, and then went to Masik and returned to Loen to gain some knowledge. It is naturally very simple to fool a few Loen locals who have never been abroad.
Especially when she mentioned that rich people in Trier are keen to show their wealth and leisure by walking turtles, and that young people are popular in holding weddings in Underground Catacombs, which has even caused many terrorist incidents, several Loen people showed a mixture of surprise and contempt.
"I originally thought that the atmosphere in Backlund in recent years was a little too avant-garde. From His Majesty to the workers, everyone was a little radical, so that the old traditions were gradually abandoned. But compared with Intis's Trier, this place is still too conservative."
Best sighed with emotion, wondering if he was thinking of his factories that were forced to close due to "radical policies".
As a representative of the emerging class, Dr. Aaron had different opinions. Professionals like him were the beneficiaries of the kingdom's changes and naturally supported more changes. However, out of politeness, he only retorted with a few words.
Angel was worried that the atmosphere would become tense, so he brought the topic to Dr. Aaron's recent surgery. He learned that the doctor had gained the appreciation of Baron Cinderas, a newly minted aristocrat, through a successful surgery. The acquaintance with Best was precisely because of Baron's connection.
That's it, otherwise it would be nice if the two people with different positions and different classes didn't quarrel. How could they come to visit me at the same time...Angel cursed and couldn't help but want to make some sharp comments, but Ms. Vilma opposite her suddenly put down the ice cream, covered her stomach, and showed a hint of Affliction on her face.
It couldn't be food poisoning, then my reputation on this street would be over!
Angel's heart tightened, and he looked at her, only to find that Dr. Aaron just whispered a few words to his wife with an indifferent expression, turned around and said apologetically:
"Sorry, my wife is feeling a little uncomfortable, and the fetus has been a little active these days."
"Need any help?"
Angel, who almost always wanted to use his "disease" ability to reversely affect the other party, asked quickly.
"No, she can just go back and rest for a while."
Declining Angel's help, Aaron helped his wife stand up and prepared to leave. Best seemed to be in high spirits, but when he saw his companion was about to leave, he had to stand up together and said to Angel:
"Miss Theresa, it was a pleasure getting along with you. Maybe we can meet again soon... There will be a dance held at my mansion next week, and I sincerely hope you can come to attend."
According to "Noble Etiquette", after the first informal meeting, shouldn't you invite a return visit first, and then the formal dance and banquet... Angel recalled the modest knowledge of etiquette in his mind, and suddenly found Best Baronet's eyes sparkling, and he immediately understood the other party's reason for "speeding up".
If I were the real "Demoness", I should be happy to agree at this time... She muttered without giving a definite answer. Anyway, you can decide whether to attend this kind of dance when the invitation is sent.
When she sent the three guests to the door, Ribak was already waiting at the door. He gave carefully selected gifts to the guests, which won Best Baronet's praise again.
He pays attention to ostentation, tends to be conservative, and is kind to others on the surface. In fact, he may have different ideas than what he looks like... Angel put a few labels on the other party, watched them leave along the central axis of the garden, and returned to the living room on the third floor.
As soon as she asked the maid to close the door and leave, she felt the touch of Spirituality, opened Spirit Vision, and sure enough she found that Reinette Tinekerr had entered the room through Spirit World.
The lady left because the baby was too active and had abdominal pain. Could it be because "Snake of Fate" had a premonition that the powerful Messenger Miss would come here... Angel expressed his awe for "fate", then took the letter and prepared to take out a gold coin to pay.
"He has..." "In advance..." "Has paid..." "The fee."
Paid in advance?
Angel raised his eyebrows and opened the envelope, and sure enough he found it was written by Klein.
