Chapter 10 First Acquaintance

"Miss! The Duke is asking you to go home for dinner!" Liya, who was practicing drawing the bow suddenly heard such a sound that seemed to be coming through the barriers of time and space, and almost trembled her hand and dropped the short bow to the ground.

However, it turns out that Liya was thinking too much, because she heard it wrongly because she was far away, and then a clearer voice came immediately: "Miss! The Duke's banquet is about to begin!"

Riya had to stop practicing and turned around and replied, "Okay, I'll come."

Then he smiled at Wagner, who was guiding the side and said, "Uncle Wagner, let's be here today, thank you."

"Ah! Miss, you are so kind, these are all right." Wagner looked flattered.

"Uncle, are you feeling uncomfortable today? Why do you look distracted?"

"Ah... no, it's nothing. Maybe it's because I was too tired when I went on a mission a while ago. Please forgive me!" Wagner also noticed that he had lost his composure and quickly calmed down.

"Okay, Uncle Wagner should pay attention to rest. If there is nothing to do tomorrow, it won't be used on the training ground. I will try my best to do a good job of opening the bow."

"Yes! Thank you for your concern."

"You don't have to be polite, uncle. I'm leaving!" Lea, who had turned around, turned around and smiled at Wagner.

"Miss, please go slowly!" Wagner finally bowed to Leah, watching her figure turn around the shooting range gate and disappear.

...

After saying goodbye to the scout captain Wagner, Leah came down to the bathroom surrounded by the maids.

"Huh~ I practiced a lot today, but my arms were still a little sore." Soaked in warm water and received the maid's massage just right, Liya felt sleepy for a day and fell asleep in the bathhouse.

"Miss! Miss! Wake up, it's time to go to the banquet hall."

The sleeping Liya was awakened by the voice of the personal maid Lilith - Lilith is the granddaughter of the old housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion. She is thirteen years old this year and has been designated as Liya's personal maid since three years ago.

"Ah~oh~It's Lilith." Liya opened her eyes and faced Lilith's green pupils. After a moment of staying up, she realized that this was her personal maid. The maids in the Duke's Mansion were all the best in terms of appearance and personality. Zhou Yu, the straight man and otaku in his previous life, rarely had close contact with beautiful women. Now, there are beautiful girls around her every day, which often makes her unable to tell whether she is reality or dreams.

"Miss, the banquet is about to begin. If you are late, it will be a very rude behavior." Lilith saw Liya wake up and reminded him again.

"Well, okay, let's go." Liya saw from the dressing mirror that she was not only moved to the room while she was asleep, but her dresses, shapes and accessories were also thoughtfully organized, which shows that the professional level of the maids in the Duke's Mansion was so high.

Along the exquisite corridor, Leah and her party came to a unique building in the castle - the Banquet Hall.

The castle is not a building as people imagine, but a small town composed of several buildings. It has a complete range of functional buildings. If you are unfortunately surrounded, as long as the interior is not broken through, it will not be a problem to stick to it for three or five years.

As a military fortress, Frost Leaf Castle is naturally mostly military buildings, with almost no entertainment buildings, and the banquet hall was built after Duke Locke was promoted to Duke. As far as Liya knows, entertainment activities in this world are very poor, nobles are keen on dances and hunting, and entertainment activities for civilians are pitifully rare. The banquet hall of Frost Leaf Castle is because every noble with a strong reputation will build a banquet hall in his own mansion. It is said that the nobles in the royal capital hold dances almost every day.

As the host, Liya naturally couldn't walk in from the main entrance. She led the maids to the side door of the banquet hall. As the thick wooden door was pushed open by the waiter, bursts of noise came out of the front hall. It seemed that most of the nobles near the territory had arrived. Liya met her father, Duke Locke, in the side hall, and Prince Cripp, the guest of honor, did not arrive, so Duke Locke could not go out too early.

"Little Liya, I heard you bumped into Princess Lanya at noon today?" Duke Rock asked. However, judging from his tone, Princess Lanya should not be a big deal, and Duke Rock just asked casually, without any intention of blaming him.

"Yes, my father, I have to blame myself for not paying attention. I don't know if I had hit her." Liya thought of knocking Princess Lanya out ten meters away at noon, and she felt a little nervous.

"It's okay. Prince Cripp and Princess Marina are both fifth-level experts. Their daughter's physical fitness is not much worse, not to mention that she has protective props. Princess Lanya was not injured, just go and apologize later."

"Then I'll feel relieved." Liya breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a waiter came to Duke Locke and whispered: "Duke, Prince Cripp's frame has entered the castle."

"Well, I get it." Duke Rock waved his hand to beat the waiter away, then turned around and reached out to Liya: "Let's go, Little Liya, it's time for us to go out too."

"Okay, my father." Lea put her little hand obediently in Duke's wide palm, and walked towards the noisy vestibule with the duke.

"Duke, I still have the same charm after not seeing you for several years!"

"Duke, you are still so healthy!"

"Miss Lea is getting more and more cute!"

When the father and daughter appeared in the front hall, they immediately became the focus of everyone. Many nobles came up to ask about their well-being, while the ladies smiled and greeted not far away. Duke Locke led Leah to keep answering while smiling and answering, and walked towards the main entrance of the banquet hall.

As the duke and daughter and a group of noble followers stood behind the main entrance, the waiter's notice rang out at the right time: "Prince Cripp is here~! Princess Lanya is here~!"

The thick and gorgeous white door was slowly pushed open, and a team of ten people appeared in front of people. First, the man was wearing a white gold-edged dress, and the fine gold thread painted a mighty lion wearing a crown and squirting fire on his chest - it was the symbol of Freya's royal family "fire lion". There was no doubt that this was Prince Cripp. However, when the pink head and pink pupils appeared on a man, Leah always felt an inexplicable sense of incongruity, especially when she noticed the pink beard, the sense of incongruity became even more serious.

Prince Cripp followed the Prince's Mansion's guard to the left, and on the right was a girl wearing a maid dress holding Princess Lanya in her arms. However, Princess Lanya's originally smooth forehead is now covered with a piece of gauze, which looks a bit pitiful.

"On behalf of the Frost Leaf Leader, I welcome your arrival, Prince Cripp." Duke Locke saluted first.

"Welcome to His Highness the Prince!" The nobles behind the duke followed.

"Thank you! Lord Locke, and everyone." Prince Cripp replied.

Then the group followed Prince Cripp and Duke Locke and walked to the center of the banquet hall.

When the prince was patrolling the border, he naturally had to go to the Ice Wind Castle. Most of the nobles in this world were composed of strong men and did not have too many arrogance and extravagance. At least the Kingdom of Freya, which had been established for more than three hundred years, was not immersed in singing and dancing and peace. After Prince Cripp made a brief speech in the center of the banquet hall, the welcome banquet began in a friendly and friendly atmosphere.

"Little Liya, come and say hello to His Highness the Prince." Duke Locke led Liya to Prince Cripp.

Riya saluted obediently and said, "I have met His Highness the Prince."

"Hahaha, don't be so arrogant. Just call me Uncle Cripp." Prince Cripp had a good relationship with Duke Rock, and there was no such thing as being a member of the royal family in his words.

"Okay, Uncle Cripp."

"Haha, Little Liya is so good. Come on, let me introduce it to you. This is Sister Lanya. But I think you have met you." As he said that, Lanya was let out by Prince Cripp and blinked at Liya.

Lan Ya was obviously deeply impressed by her encounter at noon. The moment she saw Liya, a trace of fear flashed in her pink eyes, and her eyes became panicked. Her two little hands grabbed the hem of her skirt at a loss.

Liya was amused and crying, and she had to make a cute expression on her face: "Hello, Sister Lanya."

"You... Hello..." Lan Ya was like a frightened little rabbit, staring at the ground with her eyes tightly, and she didn't dare to look up at the "human-shaped monster" opposite (Lan Ya's first impression of Liya).

Seeing Lan Ya's behavior like this, Liya had to speak first: "Hey, I'm sorry for the afternoon. I was thinking about something else and didn't see you. So... I'm sorry for hurting you."

Lan Ya still lowered her head and replied nervously: "No...it's okay..."

Prince Cripp and Duke Rock were standing beside each other, smiling as they watched the two little loli talk. After seeing the little loli’s reconciliation, the two looked at each other and walked towards the center of the noble circle, leaving the space to two girls of similar ages - at least that’s what they thought.

However, Liya was a little confused at this moment. She wanted to eat and drink and try her best to reduce her presence in order to escape early, but she was entrusted with the important task of seeing the child. It is almost impossible to leave early. However, as an otaku party with a high level of attending events in her previous life, Liya quickly changed her mindset - Lanya was at most in the middle class in kindergarten, which was far worse than her sister's naughty child in her previous life.

Seeing Lan Ya looking at her at a loss, Liya knew that she had to take on the task of taking the initiative in the conversation: "By the way, why did you have gauze on your head and didn't go to find the priest? I remember there is a big church in Frost Leaf City."

"Then... that, I heard that all the pastors in the church have gone to the Ice Wind Castle..." Lan Ya replied as if she was weak.

"What are you doing at Ice Wind Castle?"

"Yes...I'm sorry, I don't know."

"Ah, I forgot, you are only four years old, and it is unlikely that you know so much." Liya sighed with an old driver's expression.

Lan Ya couldn't help but open her eyes wide in surprise, raised her head and looked at Liya carefully for the first time, and said, "Hey? Liya, you seem to be one year younger than me, right?"

Riya held her chin with one hand and thought: "I almost forgot what I said."

"Eh? Eh??" In this kind of answer that clearly shows the thinking ability of a four-year-old child, Lan Ya could only express her unclear tone.

The two lolitas were not harassed by any unsightly noble. I think they were too young, and even the kind of people who were flattering were not able to find any suitable reason to come. In this way, the two lolitas were talking to each other in a mess, and a welcome dinner gradually came to an end.
