Chapter 43 Engagement.
——Old friend?
A trace of confusion flashed across Yu Zhizhi’s eyes.
She remembered that last night the Duke said that people from the K family were coming to visit, but that would be a week later.
If not the acting leader of the K family [Don Nader K] and his younger brother [Don Nader K], who else does he know?
Yu Zhizhi walked out from behind the pillar, straightened her skirt and walked outside.
When leaving, he did not forget to say to the wild dog: "Take good care of your health. I will see you again tomorrow."
Returning to the place where I lived, I changed into a more formal aristocratic dress. According to the Duke's instructions, the little pet needs to be dressed up beautifully when taking it out to meet people.
Under the leadership of the hamster maid, Yu Zhizhi went to the living room.
The ancient buildings look more mysterious and elegant under the sunlight. The simple tiles shone golden in the sunlight, and each bluestone slab was polished as smooth as a mirror.
Looking from a distance, you can see the golden trees in the courtyard shining brightly.
Yu Zhizhi followed the maid into the courtyard, walked around the water corridor, and came to the reception room of the Duke's Mansion.
There are several bronze flowerpots on both sides of the porch, with some exotic flowers and plants planted in them, exuding a faint fragrance.
Pushing open the door, you are greeted by a spacious hall.
The floor is covered with a dark red carpet, vintage and valuable wooden furniture is neatly arranged, the tea table is beside the window, and the murals are carved with beautiful landscapes, everything complements each other so well.
Yu Zhizhi stepped on the carpet and saw several figures standing in the living room. Sitting on the master's seat, it was Duke Bolan who had just returned from the palace.
In the Valoran Empire, Duke Bolan's status is extremely noble, and he needs to handle many government affairs every day.
Different from the loose dark purple robes he often wears at home, today's Duke wears a dark blue noble dress, with the Valoran Empire's medals symbolizing status and honor hung on his shoulders.
After he saw Yu Zhizhi, an unknown smile flashed in his golden vertical pupils.
"Zhizhi, come to meet the distinguished guests of the Duke's Palace."
Yu Zhizhi stepped forward.
Just by looking at the young man's back, he recognized him.
——It’s Noel, the genius of the rabbit tribe.
I've seen him before at the K family's ancestor worship ceremony.
The young man slowly turned around and saw a familiar figure, his pupils were slightly startled.
She is not...
Was he abducted by the leader of the Eagle Clan?
The girl walked slowly, lifted up her skirt with both hands, and saluted gracefully. Her pretty face was even more rosy than the last time I saw her, like the peach blossoms blooming in spring, and she also exuded a light fragrance, which was very suitable for the Duke's Palace.
At that moment, Noel understood why the Duke arranged an engagement between himself and the snake female when they were in the palace.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he returned a gentleman's greeting: "We meet again, Miss Zhizhi."
Yu Zhizhi slowly walked to the Duke's side.
The man gently pulled the broken hair from her cheek, his attitude was ambiguous: "Did you sleep well?"
Yu Zhizhi's cheeks immediately turned red.
She lowered her head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "It's okay."
Black Rabbit Noel looked at them with a smile. The relationship between the two seemed to be very close. He was invited to the Duke's Mansion to stay temporarily and develop a relationship with his fiancée from the snake tribe.
He originally thought it would be boring, but after meeting Yu Zhizhi, he found it interesting.
"This is Noel from the Rabbit Clan, whom you have met."
The Duke also watched that live broadcast.
The eye-catching image of the rabbit clan's proud male and S-class female standing together came to mind, and barrages flew up.
Everyone said they were a perfect match.
If a small pet wants a mate, he may first consider a rabbit male.
What a pity~
No chance now.
The smile on the Duke's face was obvious: "His Majesty the King has granted marriage to Mr. Noel, and the Rabbit Clan and the Snake Clan are getting married."
Yu Zhizhi blinked, what a coincidence.
I didn’t expect to meet Noel again here.
Not being familiar with him made Yu Zhizhi feel more relaxed.
She smiled and leaned towards the Duke unconsciously.
"As well as your matter, His Majesty the King already knows about it." The Duke touched the little female's head lovingly. "In order to prevent you from being snatched away by gangsters, you need to choose a beastman as soon as possible. However, I have asked His Majesty the King to give you more time so that you can choose slowly."
Yu Zhizhi was slightly startled.
Does everyone know what happened to her at the Duke's Palace?
The nobles of the Valoran Empire are all well aware of the bad guy the Duke calls him.
If the leader of the Eagle Tribe really snatches away the S-class female from the Rabbit Tribe, a bunch of eagle cubs will be born in three years. No matter how talented the cubs are, they will eventually become a serious problem for the Valoran Empire.
Every S-class female in the empire will be ceremoniously protected.
Never allow other empires to covet you.
The higher the female level, the more beastmen she has. In addition to reproducing offspring, more and more powerful males are needed to protect her.
Of course the Duke didn't want to hand over the little female rabbit like this.
The pet he finally found.
Before I get tired of it, I have to keep her by my side no matter what.
So I found an excuse to delay it for three to five years, or even longer——
If he doesn't let go, the little female will have to stay in the Duke's Mansion as a "distinguished guest".
Behind his back, I still have to let him stroke me and let him hold me.
It is his exclusive little pet.
Wait until one day he feels bored, and then choose a beast husband for her who is excellent in all aspects. Before that, no one could even think of possessing her.
At the same time, Duke Bolan must also bear the responsibility of protecting her and cannot let other forces take her captive.
Black Rabbit Noel went to meet his fiancée under the leadership of his servants.
Yu Zhizhi watched him go away.
While she was watching, the person behind her suddenly bent down and hugged her.
There were outsiders just now, and the Duke had been restraining himself from doing anything more intimate.
He had only been away for a morning, and he missed the smell of the little female very much. Yu Zhizhi leaned in his arms, still thinking about the main mission.
Then I heard the Duke's lazy voice floating in my ears: "Who are you going to choose to be the beastman?"
"……I have no idea."
"Don Locke is coming out soon, don't you miss him?"
The most talented wolf cub in the K family in a century, he is also the most valued war weapon in the empire. For Duke Bolan, Tang Locke has a new identity——
Pet's ex.
Yu Zhizhi thought of Tang Luoke and turned pale.
During the short few days they spent together on the 13th floor, she thought she would die in his arms every day.
This caused my legs to feel weak just thinking about him.
I don’t want to…
Marry him.
However, now is not the time to think about this. Yu Zhizhi raised his head, looked at the man behind him, and asked softly: "Will you come back for dinner tonight?"
She had to find a way to complete the main plot first.
I have to take out the remaining bottle of [pheromone that drives male orcs crazy]...
Now, conquering Snake is the most important thing.
Everything else has to go to the back.
Seeing that the little female really didn't have any thoughts about the wolf cub, she seemed to only care about whether she would come back tonight.
The corners of the Duke's lips raised slightly.
He admitted that he was very happy.
——Because of the "attachment" to small pets.
"Of course I'll come back." He rubbed the little rabbit's head and said, "Wait for me."
