Chapter 88： Temptation and prevarication

Even though the three disappeared from sight, Ram was still looking into the distance.

Although she was expressionless all the time, she couldn't hide her worried eyes no matter what.

This is very inconsistent with her always indifferent appearance.

What a caring sister.

"Are you worried about them?"

Zhou Fangwu suggested to Ram who was on the side: "In this case, why don't you go with me?"

"No, Ram has to clean and guard the mansion."

After hearing this, Ram shook his head and refused, "In order to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to make trouble and cause unnecessary trouble, Ram can't leave."

"Isn't there Roswaal?"

Zhou Fangwu asked curiously: "With him, the chief court mage, is there anyone who dares to come to the Earl's Mansion to make trouble?"

"Lord Roswaal left last night."

Ram told him lightly that Roswaal was no longer in the mansion.

"You left last night?"

"Yes, before dinner."

"Is that so... well, even if it's like this, wouldn't there still be me?"

"That's why Ram said he wanted to stay, to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to make trouble and cause unnecessary trouble."

hiss…

Zhou Fangwu seemed to understand what she meant.

"That... Ram, the person you mentioned who took the opportunity to make trouble, isn't he talking about me?"

"Ah, did the guest finally understand? Ram thought he had to speak more plainly."

"..."

【Am I so untrustworthy by you? ! 】

Zhou Fangwu still didn't say this sentence, he was afraid that it would hurt the delicate tacit understanding between him and Ram.

"Hehe, just kidding."

Ram chuckled softly: "Ram waited in the mansion because of Master Roswaal's order. Besides, don't the guests also need someone to serve them?"

…Laughed?

Although it was only a short moment, Zhou Fangwu still saw it.

No matter who he was facing, Ram, who had always been expressionless and indifferent, actually smiled? !

Just when he was in a daze, Ram had already recovered, turned around and walked back.

Walking and saying:

"The guest said before that Ram is slightly inferior to the guest in tea art. About this, Ram wants to have a good discussion with the guest."

Maybe Zhou Fangwu's words aroused Lahm's competitive spirit before, so she wanted Zhou Fangwu to prove it to her with a strong unwillingness to admit defeat.

"OK."

Zhou Fangwu followed with a smile.

"By the way, we've known each other for so long, how about calling me by my name?"

"Wu?"

"Well, it feels good."

"Guest... no, is Wu a disciple?"

"Where did you come to this conclusion?"

"Look, how can someone call him by his name when we meet?"

"Hey, hey, we've been together for a few days, how can this be the first time we've met!"

"Sure enough, Wu is a disciple."

"So, where did you come to this conclusion!!"

"Doesn't it seem too intimate to be called by someone's name in such a short time?"

"Are you suspecting that I have ulterior motives?"

…

The two walked back noisily, and Lahm's poisonous tongue remained the same.

At this time, the Earl's Mansion was a little empty.

There are only three people in the huge mansion, and one of them still doesn't go anywhere or just stays in the forbidden library, the blond drill loli who can't even see anyone.

The two came to the kitchen.

Ram found out the highest-grade black tea from Earl's Mansion and asked Zhou Fangwu to brew it.

[Please start your performance. 】

Her movements and expressions, all over her body reveal a tea art that is even more profound than hers.

Then, Zhou Fangwu staged a different world tea ceremony for her.

The tea ceremony imitated from Ubuyashiki Tianyin is used to brew black tea, which has a different and unique flavor.

The mellow aroma began to spread, and the two couldn't help talking.

After soaking, Ram couldn't wait to take a sip.

"It's delicious."

Ram praised honestly.

This cup of black tea made her recognize Zhou Fangwu's tea art.

The fragrance is strong and heart-warming, and the longan-like smell makes people linger.

This is very different from the style of black tea she brews, very different!

"Right."

After Zhou Fangwu tasted it, he also had an expression of enjoyment on his face.

The tea he uses is expensive, high-end and rare, not for sale, so the taste after brewing is also the ultimate delicacy that he has never tasted.

While the two were enjoying themselves, Zhou Fangwu suddenly said, "Then, what's the matter with Lahm calling me here?"

"..."

"Speaking bluntly, although you can hide what's on your mind and there is no abnormality on your face, it doesn't work in front of me, it's all exposed."

Ram's expression changed slightly, and she asked softly, "It's about Master Roswaal..."

"Ah, sure enough."

Looking at her with such an expression, "The fact that you can come to me must have something to do with Roswaal. He asked you to come?"

"…no."

"So you made your own claim?"

"Yes."

After getting her reply, Zhou Fangwu put down his teacup, "So, what's the matter?"

"About what Wu said yesterday..."

As one of the few Rams who knew that Roswaal had the [Book of Wisdom (Youth Edition)], after hearing what Zhou Fangwu said yesterday, of course, he also had doubts and strong curiosity.

After all, Roswaal has always been very strict in protecting the [Book].

She also thought that Zhou Fangwu was talking nonsense, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't look like it at all, so she came to ask.

"Ah, that..."

After hearing this, Zhou Fangwu waved his hands and pretended not to care, and said, "That's just trying to deceive Roswaal, and the purpose is to restrain him."

"Eh?"

Ram didn't understand what he meant.

Zhou Fangwu explained to her:

"Look, Emilia is living in the earl's mansion right now. Roswaal has to arrange and give instructions for everything she has. Emilia doesn't have her own opinionThis is it No way!

If that's the case, wouldn't Emilia become a marionette in his hands?

If Emilia succeeds in the election and becomes the king, wouldn't Roswaal become the regent of the Kingdom of Lugnica, and the whole country must obey his arrangements?

As a courtier, how can you allow such a thing to happen? "

Zhou Fangwu's words are righteous.

A loyal minister's remarks for Emilia's consideration made Ram not sure whether he knew or didn't know the existence of [Book].

"That is to say, Wu said those words in order to let Lord Roswaal not secretly make things difficult for Lord Emilia?"

"That's right!"

"That Wu yesterday...!"

"Ahem, stop, stop!"

Lahm wanted to say something more, but Zhou Fangwu interrupted her.

Said: "Ram is Roswaal's servant, I must have my heart towards him, and I will report to him if there is anything. So, I'm sorry, there are some things I can't tell you."

Zhou Fangwu forcibly ended the topic.

"..."

Ram didn't continue talking, but just looked at him blankly, as if trying to see through him.

Zhou Fangwu shook his shoulders, feeling uncomfortable.

"Uh... even I would be shy to be stared at with such eager eyes! Stop the uncomfortable eyes, Ram."

But Ram didn't mean to restrain himself at all.

"Okay, I'm afraid of you"

Zhou Fangwu had no choice but to pick up the bubbled black tea, turn around and leave, and said as he walked, "I'm going to see Beatrice, by the way, please send my lunch to the Forbidden Library."

After speaking, he turned around and went to look for the door of opportunity.
