Age of Empires From Scratch

For David's words, Sharon only replied with a very simple sentence with extremely complicated meaning: "Hehe!"

After deciding on the gift, David will go outside to buy a few gift boxes next, otherwise it would not look good to just take out the present in such a dry manner.

By the way, he also wanted to inquire about news. David felt that the Earl of Sutton-Stewart should have a good reputation in the capital, which can be known from the conversation between the two guards when they entered the inner city.

There is a high probability that one of the guards sold Sharon's information. I don't know how much it was sold for?

Walking on the streets of the inner city, the environment of the inner city of the capital is very good, the road paved with stone slabs is clean and flat, and the buildings on both sides of the street also maintain a good image, which is indeed better than the dirty and messy outer city. I don’t know. How many grades.

It didn't take David much time to find a shop selling gift boxes.

To be precise, this shop is right next to the hotel, just a few steps away.

According to the owner, the guests who can stay in the hotel in the inner city are those who often have to walk with the nobles. No matter whether they are nobles from other places or other identities, it is inevitable to send gifts to each other when they walk with the nobles in the city. , the gift box is a very good commodity here.

By the way, David also inquired about Earl Stewart's information.

Originally, he thought that ordinary people would not discuss the information of an earl too much, but he didn't expect that the earl didn't seem to care about it, and his name can be said to be known to everyone in King Tilan. According to the shop owner, even ordinary people in the outer city often talk about the earl in their daily lives.

The younger brother of the current queen; the most 'romantic' man in the Kingdom of Tilan; the number one playboy in the Kingdom of Tiran; Earl of Sutton-Stewart.

David, who bought a gift box with a bunch of information attached, didn't waste any more time and walked back to the hotel directly.

"Come back so soon? Aren't you going to inquire about the news?"

Sharon put the things in her hands back in a panic, but Newton's old alchemist was not in the living room, and he should have gone back to rest in his room or study David's Hammer of Judgment.

"The earl's information is easier to inquire about than expected. Just find the owner of a shop by the side of the road, and he can tell you a lot."

After briefly explaining the news she had inquired about, the image of the earl in Sharon's mind gradually became three-dimensional and plump after hearing it, and at the same time it became even more disgusting to her.

It sounds like he's just a scum who uses his status to harm beautiful women everywhere!

"At least I haven't heard that the Earl has used any violent means to grab the woman he likes."

"Because of his status, have all these news been suppressed?"

The two discussed a few words casually. Before such a thing actually happened, it was difficult for the two of them to draw a conclusion directly.

While talking, David conveniently put the prepared gift into the box, and went to the hotel alone to ask for a pen and paper, wrote a simple explanation and put them into the box together.

Before the sun gradually approached the horizon, but before the world fell into twilight, the person sent by Earl Stuart came.

"Two respected guests, this is the dress prepared by the Earl for you."

The leading attendant, who was holding the jewelry gift earlier, introduced the two dresses to David and Sharon in a very calm tone.

David didn't care about the design and sewing by the top tailor in King Tilan, what precious materials were used, and how long it took.

After the attendant Balabala finished his introduction, he smiled and said that he was not going to change his dress, but kept the current outfit to meet the Earl.

"this……"

The attendant was a little dazed, as if he didn't expect that there would be a commoner who would refuse the kindness of a lord earl so bluntly. In the past, no matter how unhappy the guests were, they would not refuse to change their dresses. It may be that these two bumpkins from the countryside didn't understand the value of these two dresses at all.

The attendant quickly regained his composure, the doubt and disdain on his face lasted for less than two seconds, the kind that ordinary people couldn't detect his actual thoughts at all.

Thinking of his master's order, the attendant did not force David and Sharron to wear the dresses prepared for them, but politely invited them to go downstairs.

"The carriage is already waiting for you two, please follow me."

David and Sharon looked at each other. The attitude of the other party was beyond their expectations. Following the attendants out of the hotel and boarding the carriage, David noticed the sights from various places around him. These people were all looking at him and his side. Sharon.

You can also hear things like

"It's Earl Stuart's carriage!"

"Who is that earl looking for again?"

"It seems to be a young couple, the earl likes this kind the most!"

"Oh~ poor man, maybe this is their last day together."

All kinds of conversations did not escape David's ears, and Sharon heard a lot of them. It was not until they sat in the carriage that those weak conversations were completely isolated from the outside.

As the carriage drove, David looked outside through the side window. The carriage quickly turned from the commercial area of ​​the inner city to another street, and passed a guard post before turning into this street.

"It's Lord Stuart's guest."

The attendant sat next to the driver of the carriage, and after telling the heavily armed soldiers the identities of the passengers in the carriage, the soldiers didn't even come over to check, but just glanced at the carriage curiously, and let the carriage pass through the guard post.

David saw through the window that the soldier and another colleague seemed to be whispering, but unfortunately there was no way to hear anything.

"This carriage, won't it have enchantments? The sound insulation effect is a bit too good."

David continued to look out the window. After passing the guard post, the carriage entered a block with a smoother and cleaner road. On both sides of the street were the best houses that David had seen since he came to this world. The front and rear courtyards and buildings are like a small castle mansion.

The distance between these mansions is relatively far, leaving a large open space on both sides of the street. David guessed that these wastelands are lawns in summer.

"It looks like a rich neighborhood." Sharon also looked out through the car window on the other side: "The people living here should be nobles from the capital, right?"

"There should be many high-ranking officials from the Kingdom of Tilan." David looked away, because the carriage had turned into one of the courtyards.

The carriage did not stop, but continued to pull the two of them to the backyard before stopping.

The door opened, and David got out of the carriage first, and saw Earl Sutton Stewart who had already been waiting here.

Earl Stewart didn't respond to David and Sharon not wearing the dresses he gave him. It seems that the earl had already got the news before David got off the car.

When Sharon got out of the carriage, Earl Stuart said, "What a pity, that set of jewelry will make your blond hair and skin more dazzling when you wear it."

Sharon has long golden hair that shines like a holy light, a sweet appearance, and a tall and fit figure. Even in the eyes of Earl Stuart, who has seen countless beauties, the young girl in front of him is the best of the best.

Now it seems that it is not an easy task to take down this prey.

While greeting the two of them, Stuart led David and Sharon to a long table with tableware, candles, flowers and other decorations on it.

When everyone was seated, the servants immediately came up and took away the redundant decorations on the table, and at the same time put clean wet towels and other items.

A rectangular table, three people eat, it seems that it is not convenient to arrange seats, in fact, the chairs have already been set up, two of them are located at the two ends of the long table, and the other is placed diagonally opposite to one of them .

Stuart sat alone at one end, David sat at the other end, and Sharon sat diagonally across from David.

"Welcome to Tilan." After taking his seat, Earl Stewart used these words as an opening statement, and signaled the servants to serve the dishes: "I heard that David came to the Royal City to upgrade the village?"

"Yes." David knew that when he was inquiring about Stuart, the Earl also inquired about himself and others.

Just picking up a girl, is it necessary to inquire about it in such detail? David began to wonder what the Earl wanted to do?

After serving the food and taking a few bites, Earl Stewart suddenly raised his wine glass and stared at David with expectant eyes: "I think Mr. David's trip will be very smooth, maybe I should express my congratulations in advance, What do you think, Mr. Mayor?"

David looked at Earl Sutton Stewart who was sitting not far in front of him. His words were easy to understand. He almost told David directly that he could help a little in this matter.

"So, what's the price?"

"I like talking to smart people." Earl Stewart took a sip of the fruit wine in his glass, and was happy that David, a commoner from a small country place, could immediately understand what he meant: "I admire Sharon very much, and I hope she can Come enjoy tomorrow's sunrise with me."

"..."

Looking at the silent David, Earl Stewart did not rush to urge him. He looked at Sharon's face a few more times before adding a few words: "Your Excellency must be very worried that Miss Sharon will not be able to rest well in an unfamiliar environment. , maybe it should be left to 'see'."

"..."

Earl Stewart did not give David time to 'consider' this time, and immediately urged: "What do you think of my suggestion? Baron!"

"My lord, you seem to be asking the wrong person." David called 'good guy' from the bottom of his heart, enduring the constant pain in his calf, and calmly expressed his attitude: "I have no right to do it for Sharon. any decision."
