"Yes, it was the Grand Duchess of Caister who sent me here. She sent a message to me saying that she wanted to bring you a letter."
The girl then remembered that she was not here for breakfast, so she quickly took out the letter and handed it to Qiao Yelan.
Kaister?
Is this generation's Grand Duke of Cumberland her pawn?
Qiao Yelan did not open the envelope, but waved to Ace who was stuffing the sixth tray of buns into his mouth one by one.
Ace quickly poured himself a glass of soy milk, then ran over while wiping his hands.
"This letter, check it."
"Do you want to open it?"
"dismantle."
Aledae was obviously nervous again. Qiao Yelan turned her head and comforted her with a smile.
"Don't worry, it's not because of you - it's because the person who gave you this letter is a dangerous person."
"You, you are not her friend?"
"No, she always has something to plot against me, so I am always on guard against her."
The girl's eyes lit up, and her clenched hands loosened a little.
"Doctor, nothing was found."
Ace handed the letter back.
"Okay, go ahead and have your breakfast."
Qiao Yelan opened the letter that had been taken out and browsed through the contents.
There were very few words, and it was obvious that Kast was aware that Londinium was not her Kast territory, so adhering to the principle of "too much talk leads to mistakes", she just "warned" Qiao Yelan not to touch her chess piece.
As someone who had already had in-depth communication with her, Qiao Yelan of course understood that this so-called warning was probably more of a flirtation than a deterrent - but outsiders couldn't see that.
So he handed the letter directly to Aledea.
"Hey?"
"Look at it, too, Allarda."
Qiao Yelan's face was a little gloomy, but he still gave the child a gentle and kind smile.
"Can I see it?"
"of course can."
After taking the letter, Aledai looked at the contents of the letter, her face turned pale, but she dared not say a word. She could only raise her tearful eyes and look at Qiao Yelan.
He was the only person she still felt somewhat close to at this time.
A clean handkerchief was handed over.
"It's okay, Aledea, you can cry - you shouldn't be anyone's pawn, you are a person, someone who can express her feelings freely."
Qiao Yelan's words broke through the girl's last psychological defense. She grabbed Qiao Yelan's hand and sobbed, then burst into tears.
Ace, who was standing by, was very considerate and rushed to the door with two trays of steamed buns that had not been finished yet - he did not leave immediately because he still had the duty of guarding.
But when he ran to the door, he almost dropped the buns in his hand.
There was a group of people lying outside, and the leader was the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple.
——was raising his index finger anxiously, signaling Ace to keep quiet.
Seeing this scene, Ace was not in a hurry anymore. He sat on the steps at the door and ate the melon and the bun at the same time.
This melon is very sweet.
It is difficult for children to control their emotions and bodies. In addition, she had eaten too much due to relaxation and hunger, so Aledae vomited all over the place.
Qiao Yelan held Aledae with one hand like comforting a kitten so that she would not fall when she vomited, and patted her back gently with the other hand.
When she could no longer vomit anything, Aledae was so weak that she had no strength left. Qiao Yelan used a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, then picked up the cup of water and fed it to her so that she could rinse her mouth.
"It's okay, it's okay."
He gently comforted Aledae, and the girl regained some strength, took the cup and drank some water.
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
"It's all right—feeling better now, Allarda?"
"I, I'm much better, thank you, sir."
"You don't have to call me Sir. My name is Qiao Yelan. If you like, you can just call me Mr. Qiao."
"Yes, Mr. Joe."
The girl recovered, but her modesty had made her so ashamed that she could hardly raise her head.
"You need to take a hot bath now and change your clothes - I'll let the maid take you there."
"No, that's too much trouble—"
"Then, you need to drink some more porridge to protect your stomach. Of course, you can't eat steamed buns for the time being, but you can eat more for lunch."
Qiao Yelan continued talking to himself.
"Now, go take a shower. The maid is here."
He handed the little hand he was holding to the maid and took the dizzy Aledae away.
"Go and buy her a complete set of noble maiden clothes that fit her size. The most noble kind - she is the Grand Duke of Cumberland of this generation, and no dress is out of place."
"Yes, my lord."
Another waiter quickly responded.
Qiao Yelan controlled his wheelchair and headed out of the restaurant.
I know she is your chess piece ≠ I won’t turn her into my own chess piece.
You brought this upon yourself.
In addition-
"It seems that the rules of the Honglu Temple need to be stricter."
Qiao Yelan slowly spoke to the group of people, saying words that made them look pale.
---------------------------------------------------------
Aledae sat in the chair blankly, feeling as if she was dreaming.
First, he was forced by the terrifying old woman to deliver a letter. He thought the recipient of the letter was also an old man who was as scary as the old woman, but it turned out to be a gentle and handsome older brother.
Then I had a delicious breakfast with my big brother, which I had never had before. But out of sadness and fear, I cried and vomited everything.
Then the eldest brother arranged for himself to be taken to bathe by the maid, and when he came out, he was served to put on luxurious clothes that he had seen before but never worn, and then sat here.
Warm and comfortable - completely different from his own Cumberland Mansion, which had been emptied out and then filled with people by Castle to guard him.
She really wanted to continue living in this dream, but she was afraid that the dream would suddenly be shattered.
dong dong dong.
The knock on the door almost scared Aledea to jump up. She ran over to open the door and found that it was Qiao Yelan holding a bowl of porridge.
"Mr. Joe?"
"Hello, Miss Allarday, I'm here to serve you food - may I go in first?"
"Ahh! I'm sorry!"
Aledai quickly moved aside and looked at Qiao Yelan's automatically moving wheelchair with curiosity all over her face.
"Close the door and have something to eat first."
After emptying her stomach and taking a hot bath, Aledae finally felt the weakness from hunger was about to consume her.
She sat down at the table and drank her porridge quietly.
Qiao Yelan didn't speak again until she finished her bowl of porridge.
"Eat something to fill your stomach first. You can eat more at noon."
"Uh, no, I have to go back first."
Perhaps because she had behaved too rudely in front of Qiao Yelan before, Aledae was a little afraid to look at Qiao Yelan at this moment.
"Are you in a hurry?"
"No, there isn't."
"Does that mean you hate being with me?"
Qiao Yelan asked with some melancholy.
"No! How could that be! There is no such thing!"
The girl retorted in a panic.
"How about having lunch with me?"
A sunny smile appeared on the man's face, and the request he made at this time was simply impossible for the girl to refuse.
"......it is good."
"Well, what does Aledae like to eat?"
"Mmm...meat."
The girl said in a low voice.
"Ok?"
"Eat meat."
Aledae wanted to crawl under the chair. As a noble girl, she felt that her image would continue to collapse after making such an ungirly suggestion.
"That's great. Girls should eat more meat so they can grow faster."
Qiao Yelan praised.
"Your father would also be happy to know that his daughter also likes to eat meat."

PS: Thanks to [Kaguya's Adventurers] for the reward of a silver treasure chest.
Thank you for your support.
Open a reward
Why are there still people asking me whether I will offer a bounty? Didn’t I write earlier that I will offer a bounty during the Chinese New Year?
No wonder many people keep asking the same question – don’t they all look at PS?
Let’s open a separate chapter to talk about the bounty.
There will be a lucky draw during the Chinese New Year. I hope everyone will vote for me if I come up with something.
I have always written big chapters, and of course I also use big chapters to pay off my debts, so the reward price is twice the usual amount.
The reward for a single chapter is 200 monthly tickets, or 20000 rewards, or 200 blades.
The starting data is: 4200 monthly tickets, 24 rewards, and 1200 blades.
There are not many readers, so it will be open for two weeks, until February 2th. On the evening of the 20th, I will publish a separate chapter to report on the bounty situation.
Chapter 120: Induction is always gradual
"Father? Do you know my father? Mr. Qiao!"
Aledae even forgot to be shy. She looked at Qiao Yelan eagerly, wanting to get more information about her father from him.
