Chapter 178 Drawing of Hell in the Garden
Under the crimson moonlight, the garden, which was already full of flowers, was now covered with a layer of light red gauze, which made it look even more beautiful.
In the small pavilion in the garden, Bert and Hasta sat on one side, and Audrey sat on the other side with Countess Hall's arm around her.
Without Count Hall present, Hibbert and Audrey seemed much more relaxed, and Hasta also thought that this atmosphere was very good.
Hibbert glanced at Audrey, thought for a while and said, "Hasta, how did you meet my sister?"
"At the party organized by Grallant, Miss Audrey was also invited. I had the honor to chat with her for a few words. Later, I met her several times at Grallant's place, and we really became familiar with each other."
Hasta answered honestly, and there was no need for him to lie on this issue.
"My sister has caused you a lot of trouble, right?"
Why does this sound a bit strange?
Hasta thought for a moment and said honestly: "Miss Audrey is very smart and elegant. In many ways, I am the one who makes Miss Audrey worry extra."
"Really?"
Before Hasta answered, Audrey pretended to complain: "My dear brother, you don't seem to trust your lovely sister very much."
"It is because of my understanding and trust in you that I have such doubts."
Hibbert's answer made Audrey gently shake Countess Hall's arm and said coquettishly: "My dearest and fair Countess Hall, you should give your daughter a fair trial, right?"
Countess Hall smiled and patted Audrey's little hand, "Of course, my Audrey has always been my most proud daughter. She is excellent and perfect in all aspects."
"Countess Hall, your vision is as wise as ever."
Audrey glanced at Hibbert with great pride. When she caught a glimpse of Hasta's surprised expression, her cheeks were slightly hot.
She actually forgot that Mr. Hastur was still by her side. The Audrey who was acting cute just now would definitely break the elegant and generous image in Mr. Hastur's mind, right?
Hastur said nothing.
He was indeed a little surprised, but what surprised him was not that Audrey still had a cute side, but that he felt that the family atmosphere of Count Hall was really good.
Perhaps only such a happy and free family atmosphere can cultivate a simple and kind noble girl like Audrey.
The reason why Audrey is the most dazzling gem in Backlund is that she has been carved just right since she was born.
As she grows up, the dazzling light of the gem naturally begins to shine throughout Backlund.
After talking for a while, Hibbert left on the pretext of leaving Hastur with Countess Hall and Audrey.
Without Hibbert present, Audrey was much more relaxed, with a faint smile on her face, sometimes communicating with Hastur, and sometimes telling Countess Hall some interesting things that happened when she met with Hastur, Grallint and others.
For example, the little golden retriever in Glint can do backflips, is very smart, and can understand human language.
In the distance, Susie, quietly hiding under the flowers, turned sideways disdainfully.
It has learned such a simple action as backflips when it was very young. Is this a skill worth praising?
As for being smart and obedient, can it be compared with it?
It can also turn the pages of a book by itself.
The book says: Humility is a good character.
When Susie thought of this, she didn't want to compete with the little golden retriever. She was in a good mood, raised her head slightly, and shook her tail.
At the small pavilion in the garden, Countess Hall glanced at Audrey with a smile on her face, and then glanced at Hasta who was calm and measured opposite her, yawned slightly and said:
"I'm a little tired, I have to rest for a while."
Audrey stood up and wanted to help Countess Hall go back to the room to rest.
Countess Hall shook her head and said, "Leaving guests here alone is not the way we treat guests in the Count Hall family."
"Dear Countess Hall, you are right."
Audrey smiled and waved, asking the maid beside her to escort Countess Hall back to her room to rest.
Soon, Hasta and Audrey were alone in the pavilion.
"Mr. Hasta, are you satisfied with the dessert tonight?"
"It's very good. I'm thinking of poaching one of your chefs back."
"That's probably difficult. Every chef is a valuable asset to our family."
"It seems that I don't have this good fortune."
Hasta also understood that for a chef in a noble family, loyalty often comes first.
Once a chef who is not loyal enough is bribed by hostile forces, it is easy for him to poison the food.
"Mr. Hasta can come to our house often." Audrey provided Hasta with a solution.
"It's my honor."
Audrey sighed, "Oh, it turns out that Mr. Hasta can compromise with desserts."
"This is the price of wanting to taste delicious food."
"Will Mr. Hasta cook some delicious food himself?"
"I will when I'm alone, because I will really starve to death if I don't do it myself. Now I won't, because I'm too lazy to do it."
"This is too real."
"How is Miss Audrey's cooking class?"
"..."
Audrey was silent for a while, blinked and smiled, "Mr. Hasta, I'll take you to visit the garden, but it's too boring to sit like this."
Hasta was a little surprised. Isn't Audrey good at cooking?
But with her intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult for her to master cooking skills, right?
Hasta didn't ask any more questions, because it would be impolite to ask again.
He accepted Audrey's invitation and followed her to visit the garden.
The back garden of Earl Hall's house is so large that you can't see the border at a glance. According to Audrey, there are more than ten gardening workers in their family.
Under the crimson moonlight, the garden path paved with white pebbles is full of flowers on both sides. Hasta and Audrey walked side by side while talking.
When they walked most of the way, Hasta suddenly stopped, and his smiling face had a bit of a strange expression.
This scene seems familiar.
Have I seen it somewhere before?
Hasta thought about it and finally remembered that he had seen a picture in advance in the Hall of Stars by peeping into fate.
The painting is similar to the current situation, and the surrounding scenery is also very similar.
The only difference is that Earl Hall has not appeared in this scroll yet.
Hasta breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the hell picture did not come true.
"Mr. Hasta, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Audrey saw that Hasta's face was not right, so she subconsciously moved closer to see what happened to Hasta.
"I'm fine. I just suddenly remembered something unpleasant."
"Woof!"
As soon as Hasta finished explaining, Susie, who had been watching from a distance, called out.
Hasta and Audrey subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.
Earl Hall was standing at the end of the cobblestones, looking at their direction from a distance.
Click!
Hasta's heart beat violently, and his expression almost froze. Fortunately, his current Qi cultivation skills were not bad, and he did not show any panic expression when he was caught.
He just looked calm and calm.
Selfless people are fearless. He and Audrey are just ordinary friends. Even if the so-called hell picture was formed, it was just a coincidence and did not mean anything.
Audrey smiled and waved in the direction of Earl Hall, looking very innocent and cute.
"Mr. Hasta, let's go over there."
"Yes, OK."
Hasta followed Audrey along the cobblestone road to where Earl Hall was.
They still walked side by side, but the distance between their shoulders was about half a meter, a very normal and safe distance.
After walking for three or two minutes, they came to Earl Hall, and Audrey happily took Earl Hall's arm.
Hibbert, who was standing not far behind Earl Hall, moved his mouth slightly, as if he was trying to hold back a smile.
When Hasta looked over, he gave Hasta a look of wishing for the best.
This made Hasta a little panic.
Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with the scene just now, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed because he had spied on this picture of hell last time.
He came to the banquet tonight to bribe Earl Hall.
But now, before he could start to please Earl Hall, Earl Hall saw what happened just now. He didn't think that Earl Hall would not think anything else.
Under such a hellish start, Hasta felt that it would be difficult for him to bribe Earl Hall.
Earl Hall talked to Audrey for a few words, and Audrey left.
At this time, only Hasta, Earl Hall and Hibbert, who was standing a little far away, were left.
The smile that Earl Hall had just shown to Audrey was also restrained at this moment.
Not saying a word, Hasta put a lot of pressure on him.
This pressure came from his identity as Audrey's father, not from his status as a powerful earl.
Hasta sighed in his heart. Just by looking at this look, he knew that Earl Hall didn't like him very much now.
If this was a TV series, he could even predict Earl Hall's next first sentence: "You approach my daughter to take the opportunity to please me, and then let me help you get promoted to the title?"
