City of Sin: One hundred and five partners

The housekeeper took Richard to an area where he had never passed before, and walked along a dark and damp corridor for a long time before taking the steps.

This is a six-story building at the rear of the castle. There is no layout environment at all. The rooms are dense and narrow, obviously to accommodate as many people as possible in the limited space. There are a total of five such buildings. Most of the young people sent by the sideline pedigree live here. In addition, they are also the residences of some High Rank servants in the Archeron Family, as well as the guards High Level officers and the young Infantry Knight.

Because the floating island area is small, many people in the five buildings are two or even four people. Coco lives on the top floor, where they are allocated to young men and women of the collateral family. However, since no partner has been selected, these boys and girls are allocated to separate rooms for the sake of convenience.

The housekeeper is obviously familiar with everyone on the floating island. Although there are servants saluting him on the road, he does not need to stop and ask, but directly takes Richard to a door at the end of the corridor. , Knocked on the door.

"Which one is it?" Coco's soft voice came from behind the door.

The butler reported his name, and Coco immediately yelled and said a moment. A moment later, Coco opened the door. She wrapped a big thick shawl, covering the entire upper body, revealing a white nightdress that grew to the ankle underneath, and a pair of little feet that stepped on the carpet were white and tender and dazzling. It's very late now. Obviously, it looks like Coco has fallen asleep before and was woken up again.

For these young boys and girls, the housekeeper on the floating island can be said to be an important person after Gordon, especially for those who are not strong in their own family. So as soon as I heard that the housekeeper was outside, Coco quickly got up and came to open the door only wrapped in a shawl, without even bothering to change clothes.

She saw the housekeeper and the Richard behind the housekeeper. As if she understood something, she immediately bowed slightly and said, "Are you going to conduct a magic experiment now? Please wait a few minutes, I will immediately You can change your clothes! "

The importance of this job for Coco is obviously far above sleep.

The butler waved his hand to stop Coco and said with a constant slow and steady tone: "No, it has nothing to do with the magic experiment. Coco.Millie.Archeron, you have been honored to be designated as the first partner by Young Master Richard. Because Young Master Richard will be early tomorrow I'm going to leave, so I will spend the night here with you tonight. "

"What !?" Coco exclaimed, his face instantly turned white, and he stepped back involuntarily.

But the housekeeper was not going to repeat it to her again, but gave the way sideways and said to Richard: "Master, please come in. In addition, I will call you to have breakfast at five o'clock tomorrow morning. The time is half past six. The journey tomorrow is very long, so please be more restrained tonight. "

Richard was expressionless, but nodded.

The butler turned to leave, and Coco suddenly rushed out of the room and grabbed him, asking anxiously: "Adult! How could it be me? You must have made a mistake, yes, it must be!"

The housekeeper did not try to get rid of or explain, and it seemed that he did not notice anything wrong with the behavior and tone of Coco. He just saluted Coco gracefully, but his unexplained attitude showed that it was impossible. Wrong. In fact, the 60-year-old butler seems to have never made mistakes in the past two decades.

At this time, Richard, who was thrown at the door of the room, said lightly behind their backs: "You chose me, there is nothing wrong."

Coco opened his mouth wide and froze for a moment before he hurriedly walked in front of Richard and bowed deeply, saying, "Young Master Richard, please consider it carefully! You know I do n’t have any bloodline ability, more It ’s just a Level 2 Illusionist, and it ’s not talented in any way. Do n’t say that you are not such a great genius, even an ordinary person. I ca n’t give birth to the outstanding descendants you need! ”

Richard frowned slightly, and keenly felt that Coco ’s reaction, including what she said, was overdone. No matter what the reason behind, it had already irritated him in his heart. Any boy with a flesh-and-blood spirit who is so obviously rejected will always be angry.

The sound of Coco is very loud. Several doors on both sides of the corridor opened, and a few heads were protruded from it. There were men and women. When they saw the situation clearly, they all threw out their tongues or smiled to the housekeeper, and then they shrank back. The faces of several girls were full of envy and jealousy. They couldn't figure out why the Coco, which had almost no advantages except face, was suddenly taken by Richard. Could it be that she had the ability to be born lucky or naturally charmed. Why didn't she see it?

The girls cursed fiercely behind the door and were all caught in Richard's ears, but he only heard nothing. After looking at the pale, weak face of Coco, and the large eyes that had begun to wet, Richard looked up and asked the butler: "Can I still change my partner?"

The housekeeper ’s both eyes could n’t see anything in his eyes. With a constant voice, he kept respectful of not adding one point nor reducing one point. He replied: "This is your choice and has been approved by the patriarch. It is officially effective and difficult to change. If you have a better candidate in your mind now, my personal suggestion is that you can choose it again. Anyway, you have the right to decide the plural. My personal understanding of the meaning of the plural is not limited to two Of course, if you insist on changing instead of choosing one more, you can do it, but you need to go through some necessary procedures. First, you need to obtain the consent of Master Gordon. Second, prove whether you have used Coco, ... … "

As the housekeeper described the long conditions, Coco's face immediately lit up with hope. It seemed that she wanted to say something, but she wasn't too stupid. She didn't break the housekeeper boldly to interject, nor did she persuade Richard.

Light and rapid footsteps suddenly sounded on the stairs, and a handsome young man appeared at the stairs. Richard felt something, turned back suddenly, and a pair of cold eyes fell on the young man's body. But the housekeeper didn't know when to turn to face the stairs and looked at the young man peacefully.

In an instant, the temperature of Sixth Layer seems to have dropped below the freezing point, making people unable to resist a chill!

The young man ’s movements suddenly became stiff, and his eyes moved from Richard to the housekeeper, then to Coco, and then gave her a deep look. But under the gaze of the housekeeper's quiet and deep eyes, sweat began to flow continuously from the young man's forehead, and finally failed to shout out the prepared words from his throat. He greeted the butler stiffly and said, "It's the wrong floor," and turned around and walked down slowly. The hard and heavy steps seemed to be his current mood.

At this moment, Richard's indifferent cruel voice sounded: "I'm not going to change people, it's her!"

ps: Second tonight, obviously there will be.
