Li's path

Chapter 547 The Sixth Special Operation Day ([-])

Patrick Haines, the third son of the four famous Haines Marquis family, is as arrogant as Usses.

Ao can be seen by anyone, his eyes are higher than the top, his nostrils look at people, and he always talks about his family background; Friends, not those sycophants around who only care about flattering Haines' name.

When he first entered school, because of his growth environment and family education, his arrogance overwhelmed Jiao.That's why there are self-righteous gangs, defeating Allen in a way that almost damages the dignity of others, and defiantly challenge the seniors in the club. Seeing that Class VII's grades surpassed Class I, they aggressively come to trouble.

But after going through a series of incidents, such as being rejected by Li En, being defeated by the trio of top students from Class [-] with crushing results, being half-baked by Li En, being attacked by Alice in the imperial capital, being beaten by Seemingly delicate and weak, Frieda, who thought she was just the manager of the fencing club, was easily beaten.
Uh, it seems like it's all a failure?

Heck, don't worry about those details.Everyone should remember that Patrick is the fourth in the academic year of the culture class, martial arts and Jusses are of the same level, a true elite with both civil and military skills.The reason why he was defeated was only because he encountered a monster that could not be speculated by common sense, not that he was not strong.In fact, Patrick's level can blow at least 90.00% of his peers above eight.

Huh?Why is it getting darker and darker?Regardless, failure is the mother of success. After experiencing a series of blows and failures, Patrick stopped being impetuous and got rid of many bad habits. With the approval of the members, he acted as the organizer of the class I college festival activities.

But now, he, who was supposed to be busy with the academy festival, seemed to be preoccupied.

How did you get it?

It's very simple. Patrick was born in a noble family, and he has strict requirements on etiquette. He always walks with his head held high. How could he keep his head down like this, even Li En, who was walking towards him, didn't notice.

"What's wrong? Patrick, looking listless."

"Schwarzer." Patrick looked up at Li En, "What's the matter?"

"I'm fine, but I think you're fine."

"...It's nothing, it has nothing to do with you."

"Whether it matters or not, you can also tell me, maybe you will feel better if you say it."

"Oh, you're such a weirdo." Patrick sighed bluntly, "Since you said so, it's not impossible to tell you."

"All ears."

"Actually. I care a little about Threstan."

Celestan, the deacon assigned by the Haynes family to Patrick, is like Sharon, proficient in etiquette, social interaction, cooking, and martial arts, and is almost omnipotent. (Sharon, Serestan, Salifa, deacons and maids are all monsters, and the little maid Rhodes in the No. [-] student dormitory is relatively normal.)
For Patrick, Celestan was not only a deacon who served him, but a relative who watched him grow up, strict and kind, like an elder brother.The relationship between the master and the servant has always been very good, and it can be said that they talk about everything.

But since last week, Threstan has been acting strangely.Although the deacon was doing his job perfectly as usual, Patrick still felt that Celestan was absent-minded and cold to himself.Not only did I not remind myself of what I should pay attention to as usual, but sometimes I said some inexplicable flattering words or responded perfunctorily to what I said. This is the first time that such a thing has happened.

After seeing Celestan talking to someone through the guide communication with a serious face, Patrick finally couldn't help it.He looked for opportunities to ask Serestan more than once, but every time he was taken away with a few words.This made Patrick both angry and feel that he was worthless. He wanted to go to the gymnasium to practice swords to vent, but Li En bumped into him.

"So that's what's going on, why don't I go quietly to see what's wrong with him?" Li En suggested after hearing Patrick's story.

"You? To go with Threstan?"

"Well, some things are inconvenient to talk to people close to you, but you won't have any scruples with others. If you agree."

"That's it." Patrick thought for a while, then nodded, "Then please, but why are you?"

"Why do you want to help you, don't you?"

"Ah."

"Although you have various shortcomings, and you are in a competitive relationship with our class, you are not a bad person in general, and you are not annoying. Moreover, your class has issued a declaration of competition against our class. You, the leader, are out of shape. Even if we win, you will not be convinced."

"Are you sure you will win?" Patrick said not to be outdone, "I remember that you haven't decided on the theme of the event yet."

"It will be confirmed tonight. It will definitely surprise you. Don't be afraid then."

"Joke, am I afraid of you?"

"What I want is this momentum, otherwise it would be boring, then I will go to Serestan first and wait for my good news."

"Schwarzer, you are really strange."

Bistro "Cherry".

Sarah sat at the corner of the bar, did not drink as much as usual, but quietly picked up the glass and took a small sip.

There was a glass of whiskey exactly the same as Sarah's in the next seat, but it was empty, and no one touched the glass from the beginning to the end.

Today is the anniversary of the death of her comrade-in-arms, and she pays tribute to the deceased with a drink.

Thanks to her, the tavern, which used to be noisy in the past, is exceptionally quiet today. Even Serestan, who happened to pass by, was attracted by the atmosphere, walked into the tavern unconsciously, picked a secluded place, and drank alone.

Within a few minutes, his thoughts were shattered, and someone sat beside him familiarly: "A cup of lemon tea, thank you."

"Oh? Isn't this student Li En?" The person Serestan knew, Lien Schwarzer, one of the "hated" objects of his young master, "Master, I am really sorry for causing you trouble every time."

"Who told your young master to be a dishonest tsundere? No, you're causing me trouble again." If Patrick heard Li En's answer, he would probably run away on the spot—this is what you said "quietly" "?
"So that's how it is." Serestan deserves to be an existence comparable to Sharon's, and it's clear at all, "I made the young master worry, so the young master asked Li En to find out what I was thinking? Right? "

"That's it, although I'm meddling in my own business. Speaking of which, neither you nor Patrick are completely different from usual. I heard from Miss Sharon that you don't seem to drink at all." Li En said He glanced at the wine glass in front of Serestan.

"It's not that exaggerated. Even if I'm a deacon, occasionally I would like to have a drink at work." Celestan chuckled, "—Of course, I'm joking, this is just a non-alcoholic drink, I want to at least try Just look at that atmosphere."

"If you want to try the atmosphere of drinking, you seem to have a lot of problems. It's no wonder that Patrick put on that expression and asked me for help."

"It seems... I seem to have troubled the young master beyond my imagination." Threstan frowned slightly.

"So, let's at least reveal something." Li En said along the way.

"Well, this matter is a bit complicated to say, eh."

Seeing that Threstan hesitated to speak, Li En decided to take the initiative: "Is there something wrong with my family?"

"!" Threstan's complexion changed slightly, "I didn't expect Li En to be so sharp."

"Sure enough. Although you serve Patrick, you are the deacon of the Haines family after all, and you cannot violate the orders of the family."

"As you said. A few days ago, His Excellency the Marquis of Haines directly issued an order to recall me. The order said, if you hurry up, you will return to Haines' mansion next week. From my personal mood In other words, I still want to continue to serve the young master by his side. It seems that my family is starting to feel flustered."

The current situation in the empire is treacherous, and the undercurrent under the table is turbulent. It is the time when manpower is most scarce, and it is reasonable to recall the expatriates.Especially for a competent general like Celestan, otherwise the Marquis would not have personally ordered it.

"Even so, His Excellency the Marquis of Haines is a very warm person. As long as I can complete the work thoroughly, it is quite possible that I will tolerate a little waywardness. Therefore, at present, I am looking for whether There's a way for me to handle more homework than usual and stay in Tolista."

"Master, he didn't treat me as an ordinary servant, but gave me a place to live as a human being. So, as long as it is something I can do, I want to do it for him."

"Then why don't you directly confess your heart to the Marquis of Haines? There are some words that can never be conveyed if you don't speak them out. I believe His Excellency the Marquis will be able to understand your heart and Patrick's heart."

Li En's words can be said to awaken the dreamer.

Abandoning petty tricks and speaking uprightly, the bond between the two cannot be stopped by such trivial matters.

"Thank you, Li En, I know what to do."

"—That's it, Celestan went to contact your father, let me come back and tell you first." In the indoor martial arts arena, Li En truthfully told Patrick what happened.

"Hmph, you're making your own decisions behind my back again." Patrick muttered softly.

"Come on, do you think I can't see that you are happy?" Li En complained.

"Very happy? Where did I make you feel this way?" Patrick retorted subconsciously, "Besides, even if Threstan is not here, it's a little bit for me—"

"A bit of what? Not happy at all? Not happy at all? Not at all willing?"

"Lee En Shu Hua Ze!" Patrick was furious.

"Ah, Mr. Threstan, are the negotiations over? What's the result?"

"What?" Patrick looked out the window, but found that there was no sign of Celestan at all, and couldn't help being furious, "Schwarzer, you lied to me!"

Looking back, Li En had already walked away, and the sound of closing the door was particularly crisp.

PS: In the last chapter, Usses was unlucky. How did Patrick, who is also a son of the Four Great Families, escape?
PS2: In fact, San Shao is quite cute, and it would be nice to have a chance to write a side story in the future.
