At first, hearing the phrase, Leon felt an inexplicable familiarity. He seems to have heard it somewhere before. But when he tries to think about it, he only draws a blank.


Ethan, who saw Leon thinking deeply, believed it was not an act, and asked with a little more wonder, “Doesn’t Viscount Pat know about it?”


“I have not inherited that t.i.tle yet, so Count Ethan does not need to call me by that t.i.tle, just call me Leon.” Leon only shook his head. “Morning Dew After the Rain sounds familiar, but I really can’t really remember where I heard of it.”


Ethan looked deeply at Leon, and stretched out his hand to take a wooden box from his attendant and hand it over to Leon.


“Do you have any impressions of this box?”


This is a beautifully carved wooden box, the carvings depicted on it are very different from the imperial styles, a simple outline of ups and downs, giving an almost moiré like curve. This is a completely different style from the currently popular genres, and though others may not understand it, at this moment, Leon felt a thought pa.s.s by-this is old man Jon’s royal tea box.


Could it be Jon’s enemies headed towards our doorsteps?


“This… is supposed to be a box for holding things, right? ” Leon had intended to call it a tea box, but at that moment, he thought he should change his tune. Even if he doesn’t like old Jon, who made his favorite brother love Jon so much? With that in mind, he wouldn’t dare expose Jon.


Leon was too young, and although he soon reined in his change of expression, the surprise of that moment was captured by Ethan.


“You don’t remember this box at all? ” A voice of doubt asked.


“No.” Leon said without hesitation.


After a long pause, Ethan lowered the corners of his lower lip while a cold glint flashed through the shadows of his eyes when he coldly said. “Well, since Viscount Pat does not remember, let’s not waste our time,” And with an even colder tone he said. “Good-bye!”


As Ethan and his entourage left the manor, Leon’s face slowly sank.


Such a decisive departure, coupled with the coldness felt before Ethan‘s parting, Leon had a bad feeling.


After thinking about it further, Leon ordered his retinue in the manor to enter a state of alert, afterwards, he quickly rushed to the hanging building where old Jon was to be found.


This is the second time he has come to the Pendulum Building today, but this time, his mood is very different.


In a hurry and moving as fast as a gale of wind. The low blades of gra.s.s rustled up and down in the yard as he pa.s.sed by.


“Big brother, what are you doing here?” Angel saw that Leon did not look right, and no longer played the “You are here” quip, but thought that something big had happened, and hurriedly asked.


Advertis.e.m.e.nts


“Have you seen the tea box? Old Jon’s tea box. ” Leon said, hurdling up to the second floor and pushing open the door leading to Jon’s bedroom.


Angel followed as he asked: “Tea box?” Angel took out a round box carved with a dragon from a side of the small foot cabinet. “Is this what you’re talking about?”


Jon was sitting down while reading at his desk-the mute servant turned the page, as he was in charge of watching over Jon-Leon’s small ruckus was naturally captured by him.


“Hmm? Leon, have you learned how to appreciate my tea? ” Jon laughed.


The Canary Empire also had teas, but it was completely different from the tea made by Jon. The tea of the Canary Empire, to be exact, is a drink made of flowers, honey and milk, somewhat like milk tea. Both Angel and Jon like to drink milk-rich tea, but Jon himself rarely drinks the regular tea. He drinks tea picked from his own green tea tree, which is then processed by hand without any other ingredients. The tea garden where Ollie works, when Jon was in good health, had been built by his own two hands, but as he became more unwell, it was handed over to maid Mana to manage.


Leon ignored Jon’s teasing and took the tea box from Angel’s hand.


Leon frowned. “No.”


“What’s wrong with it?”


“The carvings, this box is carved with a snake monster, and the box I’m talking about is carved like a wave.” Leon said, recalling the box he had previously seen in Ethan’s hands.


“A snake monster? Brother, in fact, this is a dragon. ”


“Dragon? I’ve never seen such a slim dragon. ”


Angel knew that the creature he was referring to was from another world’s mythology, so Leon must not understand, he no longer pursued, but said:


“Mentor’s own tea box is usually of a dragon carving. Additionally, the rose tea box mentor had carved is for mother, the tea box carved for the father is a lion pattern, there are some other types of carved boxes, you said you saw a wave-like carving, that should be moiré box given out as gifts for guests. ”


“So the old man carved such beautiful boxes? Why haven’t I noticed such craftsmanship before.” Leon looked genuinely surprised, but immediately recovered and said to Angel:


“It should be the moiré one. Where is the moiré box?”


Angel made a strange expression as he looked into his brother’s eyes. “I told you, the moiré boxes were sent out as gifts. It’s not here anymore.”


“Father once asked mentor to carve a batch of moiré boxes, except for those which were given away, all of the boxes should be stacked in the warehouse.”


“Tell me Leon, what happened?” It was Jon who spoke this time, and though he had not spoken prior, his eyes were drawn to the conversation so he had been paying attention to Leon’s expression the whole time, which had been anxious from beginning to end, with brows that had never loosened throughout.


Leon looked at Jon, looked up and down for a moment before he slowly opened his mouth to say. “Count Ethan of the Monne family today…”


……


“Oh, it turns out that Leon is worried about this old man, that my enemies, will come after me?” After listening to Leon, Jon laughed away.


“Who’s worried about you! I was worried for Angel’s sake, and inexplicably helped you hide it. ” Leon turned his head awkwardly and yelled.


Angel was standing to the side, he had always believed that the main attribute his brother possessed was chivalry, but instead, he now felt that it more closely resembled the legendary pride!


“Let me ask you, what kind of problem does Count Ethan have with you? Today he came in a hurry and left in the same fashion, what was especially concerning was the way he left, his eyes were too fierce on his departure. If I could only understand the reason, I would try my best to resolve it. If not, you might have to count on your own blessings. ”


“There is nothing special about them.” Jon’s incredibly answered.


“Nothing at all? No way! The box he showed me was obviously carved by you! ”


Jon looked at Leon: “In this world, I only know people from the town of Grud. I don’t have to lie about that. ”


Jon came into this world with physical problems, coupled with his lack of The language and culture, Jon has spent several years adapting to this world with the help of Viscount Pat. After he had almost adapted to this new world, his limbs began showing signs of atrophy, and it became impossible for him to travel anywhere. Therefore, over the years, the farthest reaches Jon has visited was with old Pat to the imperial capital for his medical treatment, therefore, his network has not been widespread, and there was even less of a chance someone would hold a grudge against him.


Angel saw doubtful Leon‘s expression and said in a calm voice: “Mentor did not lie, there is no need to lie. Perhaps… my brother’s train of thought was wrong place from the beginning, Count Ethan might not actually know the existence of mentor at all. ”


“What did you say?” Leon said.


“As big brother state, Count Ethan came for one thing, and from the beginning asked about it, Morning Dew After the Rain, can this be the reason why he came?” Angel turned his head slightly, which was his habit when thinking: “But isn’t Morning Dew After the Rain just normal tea, as in for drinking? I keep feeling like there’s something missing. ”
