Section 32 Action

Lyle knocked on the door.

"Is it Lyle? I guess you're almost back." The sound in the room sounded. I wonder if it was because the door of the room was not installed, the sound inside could be clearly transmitted to the outside. "How is it, has Countess Marian gone?"

"It's true. I saw her carriage go away with my own eyes." Lyle tried to speak in a respectful tone. But if the people in the room could see his expression at the moment, they could know how angry he was when he said these words. In fact, it was a very humiliating for Lyle, who was incompetent but had a high opinion of himself, to be responsible for the task of inquiring about the news.

But he can only bow his head for the time being and has no choice.

"Go to Countess Marian's house tomorrow to confirm. If she does leave, we have to do it immediately. It's the day after tomorrow. Anyway, we're ready."

"This... I think it may be more appropriate to wait a little longer for the countess to walk away."

"There is no need for this at all. Countess Marianne is not followed by a magician... Even if something happens here, it cannot be notified there... No, it should be said that. Countess Marianne is the most suitable time when she is on the road. Because she is moving forward quickly in a carriage, it is difficult for her to receive the urgent letter from the rear. On the contrary, if she has arrived at the royal city, she may really receive the urgent letter. After all, there is also the possibility of magic communication. Of course, this is essentially just a cautious measure. Even if Countess Marianne is present, she may not be able to solve the situation I arranged."

"But it's all over the place that she has great magical powers..."

"She failed to exert influence on this sheriff's transfer, which itself shows that her energy is limited... No matter this, you go back first. When I need you, I will let you notify you."

The people in the room sent Lyle away in an understatement tone. The latter could only respond and walked down the stairs obediently.

"Wait for me!" Lyle cursed in a voice that he could only hear. "Don't look at you being arrogant now... one day... I will definitely make you regret it!"

The anger in his heart made him whip the mount hard and gallop on the road at a whirlwind speed. Several riders appeared in front of the road, but Lyle had no intention of stopping the horse. He turned the horse's head a little sideways, intending to quickly pass the travelers.

"Lyle!" A rider suddenly shouted, which made Lyle stunned and strangled the horse at the last moment. He looked at the travelers, and in terms of his dress, they were from other places.

"Lyle, it's you!" the leading one of these people continued.

...

Asu Rufat sat at the dining table. As before, before he took his seat, the two sisters had already started eating. Since his physical recovery, they have been maintaining this deliberate attitude towards him. Although it may seem more intimate at times, most of the time, they choose to ignore his existence. At least they do not speak to him actively.

Since watching the scene of silver grass blooming together at that night, the two sisters' attitudes have softened. Although they have not talked to him on their own initiative, they will at least look at him from time to time.

Although Aunt Mary asked him to take the initiative, he did not even have any chance. However, this situation also allowed him to further infer his past self. Perhaps because of being a mercenary, he seemed to be inexperienced in pleasing and pleasing women, especially those women who have a certain degree of hostility.

The women he used to be either prostitutes or sluts who could throw themselves to anyone's arms.

He slowly turned his attention back to his plate. Although his body had been healed for a long time (even if he was not completely cured), he found that he still lacked appetite. He could smell the fragrance of food and taste the umami flavor of food, but he didn't want to eat it. It was as if his body did not need these foods. For a few days, he calculated the amount of food he had eaten and found that he was dieting so exaggerated that he couldn't believe it.

But then again, although he ate very little, his body has nothing inappropriate. In fact, many people know that even if people are in a state of hunger, they may not necessarily feel "hungry". However, without direct feeling does not mean that they do not exist. Hunger can make people weak, dizzy, and drowsy--until they finally starve to death. Ash Rufate did not feel hungry or physically discomfort, so he can only think that he is gifted and eating very little does not matter.

Of course, after seeing the last incredible event, he now has a better ability to adapt to his own puzzles, at least not too surprised.

"Miss." Just as Ashu Rufate was thinking about his own problems, a servant hurriedly walked in from outside. "There are guests outside."

"Guest?" Xingke asked strangely. It's lunch time now, unless it's agreed, it's impossible to visit the door at this time.

"Yes, he asked to see you. And," the servant hesitated, "he indicated that you would go out and see him."

The two sisters looked at each other, "What kind of person are they?"

"He claimed to be the sheriff," the servant replied. The two sisters immediately remembered Aunt Mary's warning.

"No matter what, since we have come to the door, we must go out and meet." Xing Ke finally said.

The visitor at the door was a completely strange man. He was wearing a very common variegated fur coat with his chest open and clearly exposed the leather armor he wore. His helmet was hung on the saddle. Although there was nothing special about his figure and appearance, this stranger who called himself a sheriff had a very conspicuous military temperament. Because he sat straight on the horse's back and had a straight back.

He did not dismount from the horse from the beginning, but sat on the horse's back and waited for the two sisters to appear at the door.

"Are you Katyuya and Para of the Griffin family? The masters here?" Seeing the two sisters and Ashu Rufat come out together, the stranger asked, and his tone of speaking was very rude.

"That's right. May I ask you..."

"I am the sheriff Falod..." said the strange man.

"Wait, are you mistaken?! We know the Sheriff Mr. Fallod, you are not the same person."

"Sorry, I happened to have the same name as my ex." The man, also known as Falaud, replied. "It was just a coincidence."

Is it a coincidence? There are countless things in this world where names overlap. In particular, there are some special naming customs, such as giving the names of fathers or grandfathers to children. Ashu Rufate stares at the other party. Judging from the calm expression of the other party, this is not a lie. Besides, there are already rumors about the transfer of the sheriff. Although this transfer was indeed carried out according to normal procedures, there is a special feature in the time. That is, the Governor of Brassian happened to report his duties in the royal city. According to convention, when the Governor is not present, his power will be carried out by the Sheriff.

In other words, in a short period of time, the sheriff is equal to the actual ruler of the city. Of course, even if the Governor is there, he is also a very important official in the city.

"So... Lord Falod, what's the matter with you visiting us?" Xing Ke replied. She was not stupid either. In fact, just her attitude of coming to the door to ask for a meeting but not getting off the horse, she clearly showed that the other party's intention was not good.
