Chapter 654 New Roommate

After hearing Joan's answer, Audrey relaxed her sitting position, buried herself in the sofa, and looked at the window boredly.

Qiao An buried her head in the record and didn't care about distracted chatting. Audrey sat alone in silence for a long time, and finally couldn't help getting up and walking to the desk, sitting opposite Joan, wrote a note with a pen, and gently pushed it in front of him.

"Is it okay to end the experiment before dinner at the latest? I don't want Holden to see my silly face, otherwise he will have fun!"

Joan looked at the note full of beautiful handwriting, nodded and replied: "Okay, you can stay for dinner, the landlady is a good cook."

"Shall we continue the experiment tonight?" Audrey wrote.

"See what you mean, by the way, where do you live?"

"'City on a Hill' Grand Hotel." New note.

Joan's eyes shifted from the note to Audrey's face, unable to hide his surprise: "That's the most luxurious hotel in the city! The accommodation is expensive, right?"

Audrey tilted her head and thought about it, then nodded seriously twice, it seems that it is really not cheap.

"There's no need to live in such a luxurious hotel! We still have a vacant room here. If you don't dislike the shabby place, you can move here to live with your brother. It's convenient to save money."

Audrey smiled slightly, wrote "Thank you" on the paper, and then wrote: "Holden knows that you invited me to live with me, and he will be too scared to go home."

Qiao An was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized a problem: Mr. Poet, who has been a libertine and freedom-loving man all his life, might not appreciate his presumptuous idea of ​​inviting his sister to live here, which simply added a constraint.

"Don't worry about Holden, quickly show me my new room!" Audrey wrote excitedly.

Joan was a little bit regretful, but now, he was too embarrassed to regret it, so he could only bite the bullet and lead Audrey to visit the guest room.

He had expected Audrey to be picky, such as criticizing the small and messy room, so that he could "borrow the donkey" and persuade her to continue to live in a high-end hotel for more comfort.

It turned out that things were contrary to expectations. Audrey didn't express any dissatisfaction with the guest room. After simply looking around, she rolled up her sleeves, picked up the broom, and happily cleaned up. If it weren't for the "aphasia" in her throat, she would probably be humming happily while working at the moment.

How could Joan have the nerve to let the distinguished guest clean the room by himself, so he hurried over, grabbed the broom in Audrey's hand, gave her a cup of black tea, asked her to sit down and rest, and tidied up quickly by himself.

Audrey sat on the edge of the bed holding the teacup, swaying her legs slightly, and watched Qiao An busy with a smile.

Joan glanced back inadvertently. The afternoon sun was shining on Audrey through the glass window. The platinum hair seemed to be melting in the sunlight. Under the ingenious contrast of light and shadow, the girl's beautiful and attractive profile lines changed. It was extremely soft, adding a bit of gentleness and femininity. Sitting quietly by the bed with a teacup in hand, the whole person was as beautiful as a classical oil painting.

It's a pity that this beautiful and shining "oil painting" can only be permanently preserved in Joan's memory. Audrey is not the kind of character who can sit quietly all the time. Teacup, hastily scribbled a note and showed it to him.

The note said: "If I want to live here permanently, how much rent will I have to pay?"

Joan wiped off his sweat, shook his head and said, "You didn't get a commission for assisting me in the research and development of spells, how dare you share the rent."

Audrey stopped being polite to him, and after Joan finished cleaning the guest room, she used paper and pen instead of mouth to chat with him and inquire about his family background.

Qiao An first briefly introduced her background, and then casually asked about her family situation. Unexpectedly, her unintentional question seemed to have caused great trouble to Audrey. She hesitated for a long time with a pencil and did not answer directly. Instead, she asked Joan how her younger brother Holden introduced his background to him. Seems to be looking for a reference answer.

Joann didn't understand what she was worrying about, so she told the truth: "Holden said that he was born in an old and conservative noble family in Canaan, but his mother has no status in the family, so he is just an unaffected family member." Take it seriously..." He didn't have the nerve to say the word "illegitimate child".

Audrey sighed, her face looked a little complicated. He picked up a pen and wrote a line of scrawled text on the paper: "Holden was indeed discriminated against by my mother's relatives, but my father and my elder brother have always defended him. I came to the New World to look for Holden this time, and I got My elder brother’s acquiescence, otherwise I would never think of leaving the border of Canaan.”

Her words seemed ordinary, but Qiao An noticed the terribly detailed details between the lines.

That's right, both Audrey and Holden came from aristocratic families, but in an ancient kingdom like Canaan with a history of thousands of years, it is not surprising that there are many nobles. But Audrey mentioned the "border", which is a bit unusual. What kind of nobleman has the ability to seal off a country's border, just to prevent a girl from leaving the country to pursue her brother who ran away from home? ?

To be able to do this, at least one must have the power to mobilize the Canaan Defense Forces!

For the moment, Audrey's father is a top nobleman, a great lord who owns a large area of ​​sealed territory, and holds the military power of the kingdom. In addition to his status as a noble lord, he also has titles such as "Army General". The ability to temporarily mobilize the National Defense Forces to block the border. However, it was either a critical moment when foreign enemies invaded the country, or a mutiny was deliberately launched, so such drastic measures were taken. How could the army be mobilized at will just to prevent the daughter from leaving home?

If something like this really happened, how would I explain it to the royal family and the cabinet? Is this because you think you have a long life?

Joan doesn't know much about Canaan politics, but judging from the relevant news reports, the military power of the Canaan Kingdom has always been firmly in the hands of the monarch, and there are no powerful ministers who have power over the government and hold heavy troops. Audrey said The "aristocratic family" mentioned here, shouldn't it refer to the Canaanite royal family?

Joan also thinks that Audrey's full name is "Audrey Rosenthal Zion", and Zion is the surname of the royal family of Canaan, and "Rosenthal" is the name of Queen Juno of Canaan. The surname of the lady's maiden family—the Rosenthal tribe, one of the six psychic clans in the Tianfang Desert.

Audrey's younger brother Holden does not have the middle name "Rosenthal". Considering that he is not born of Queen Juno and is an "illegitimate child", he is indeed not qualified to add the name "Rosenthal" to himself. middle name.

After some analysis, Joan became more and more suspicious that Audrey was actually the daughter of the current King Joshua VIII of Canaan. He couldn't hold back the urge to get to the bottom of it, so he turned the experiment log to a blank page and hurriedly wrote a line, Push the diary to Audrey on the opposite side of the desk.
