Chapter 281 Daughter
No. 39, Böklund Street, North District of Backlund, Congressman Macht's home.

"It's so exaggerated! I heard from the maid at home that when she passed by the house at No. 32, she heard a uniform greeting!" There was a hint of sarcasm in Mrs. Liana's expression as she shared the interesting story with her husband and daughter at the dinner table.

"Oh? I remember that Mr. Wayne was not a military man?" Macht, a former Loen Army officer, said with some interest:
"He's not from a military background, but he's training servants this way? Which butler did he hire?"

The Macht family’s housekeeper hurriedly replied:

"It's Asnia, the Asnia who once served Viscount Yorkville. He also has never served in the army, Mr. Macht." As a butler, it is necessary to understand the basic situation of the new neighbor, and chatting with the other party's butler is the fastest way to do that.

Morrie Macht mused:

"K……"

"Maybe I'm just acting on purpose,"

Hazel took a sip of coffee and analyzed confidently:

"He is just creating a different kind of noise to attract the attention of those of us who live nearby. If we are interested and pay him a visit, it will solve the 'social' problem that the 'nouveau riche' are worried about. It's a very smart move."

"Hazel!" Lady Liana, who had dark green hair, exclaimed:
"Morrie, look how quickly our daughter is growing up, how reasonable her analysis is, how graceful her manners are!"

Senator Macht also put on a fond smile and said:

"Of course, Hazel is our child and has always been our pride! In my father's eyes, Backlund's most dazzling gem is Hazel~"

Hazel straightened her chest. Of course, with the help of the teacher in the sewer, even the young lady from the Hall family was just a mortal compared to her!

……

In Queens, in Lord Hall's luxurious villa, it's tea time.

"Countess, I hope this sudden visit will not disturb your travel plans. You are still as beautiful and charming as ever." Xiao Fu picked up the freshly brewed black tea with his right hand wearing elbow-length white gauze gloves, took a sip and complimented.

Countess Hall, who indeed looked to be in her early thirties, smiled calmly and said:

"It is my honor to have afternoon tea with you. You are truly youthful and beautiful. You look as young as my daughter... It is because you have not attended social dances in recent years. Otherwise, the title of 'Backlund's most dazzling gem' belongs to you, Her Highness Renee Augustus!"

Augustus!

Audrey was surprised that there was such a woman in the royal family! Was she the king's illegitimate daughter?
She could tell her mother was introducing her, so she took the opportunity to speak:

"Your Highness Renee!"

Xiao Fu put down the red teacup, and then fixed his eyes on the blonde girl. She smiled and said:

"This must be the most beautiful girl in Backlund, Miss Audrey Hall. I have heard of your name from the queen a long time ago, but I have never had the chance to meet you..."

Mrs. Hall breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was not here to propose marriage or speak well of the princes. That was good... She looked at her daughter with a doting smile and said:

"Audrey will not officially become an adult socially until the end of this year, so she hasn't participated in many social dances. The most she has done is socialize with the younger generation..."

"Oh? So Audrey, have you ever thought about what to do during this time after you become an adult and before you get married?"

Xiao Fu looked at the two people's surprised expressions and explained:
"Although Augustus mostly believes in storms, I am also a woman. The goddess encourages us to be independent and work. I don't have to follow the royal family, right?"

Mrs. Hall immediately understood why Augustus was not valued! She was a rare goddess believer in the family that believed in storms for generations! She was really an outlier! No wonder there was no news about the king's sister many years ago!
What about now? Why did she come to visit? For Audrey? Audrey was stunned for a moment. She had heard the first half of what Her Highness Renee said before! Ms. Eslant from the "Psychological Alchemy Society" had advised her that she could try to be a "psychologist"!
Could it be?! This Augustus is a member of the "Psychological Alchemy Society"?! Because the lady Eslant who contacted him suddenly died, she was replaced by Her Highness Renee, who has a higher status?!
Audrey's mind was full of thoughts, and she was also thinking about what Mr. Priestess said: Choose! Now is the time to choose! Once you choose, your life trajectory may change completely!

"I haven't decided yet... Maybe I will join a charity organization, or maybe I will become a pianist, painter, artist..."

Audrey let out a breath in her heart, and then said firmly:

"Or...a psychologist."

Xiao Fu heard the expected answer, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and said:

"What a loving and talented girl. I believe the Earl and Countess will support your idea...

"I personally have some experience in psychology. If you are interested, I will send you an invitation letter the next time I hold a 'psychology seminar'. The address is my house in Queens, not far from your house."

Mrs. Hall personally picked up the red teapot, shielded her daughter with her body, filled Little Fur's cup, and then smiled and said:
"We will indeed support Audrey's decision, but her father has the right to know at least... and her eldest brother and second brother. Well, influenced by the Kingdom Parliament, our family has always had small meetings...

"Your Highness Renee, please try the black tea that the Queen sent... It must taste the same as the one in the palace, right?"

Xiao Fu smiled, and imitated Old Blue's gesture, picking up two exquisite desserts and stuffing them into his mouth to chew them. Then he picked up the steaming cup of black tea and drank it all. Under the stunned gaze of the two ladies, he stood up and lifted his skirt and said:
"Thank you for your hospitality. The black tea tastes really good, and the desserts are delicious too."

She pulled her long golden hair back, turned around and left the small living room of the Hall family. When she reached the door, she seemed to suddenly remember something, turned her head and added:

"By the way, I'm here for a private purpose this time. Please don't let it escalate to any other level."

……

dinner time.

Mrs. Hall recounted her afternoon tea experience, shaking her head and sighing:

"Augustus is still Augustus, so rude and ignorant of etiquette!"

Earl Hall frowned and said:

"A private matter... I will find time to ask Duke Negan..."

The eldest son, Hibbert Hall, said angrily:

“This is a royal conspiracy!

"The princes of the royal family have always coveted Audrey! They covet her beauty, kindness, and most importantly, her father's..."

"Shut up Hibbert!"

Earl Hall stopped his eldest son from speaking, and turned to the silent Audrey and said gently:

“Don’t worry Audrey, your parents won’t let you do anything you don’t want to do. Even the royal family has to respect the power of the Hall family.

"Also, don't go to that 'psychological seminar'. There has been new progress in the recent murder case of the 'psychologist'. Some people suspect that it may be related to this profession..."

Listening to her father's gentle words, Audrey smiled perfectly and said:
"Okay, Father."
