CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 172- DRINKING WITH THE COUPLE

Because the last time when they landed in the garden, the maids continued to talk about them for three days straight. Sh didn’t want to go through that again.

As they landed on the balcony, the vase they bought yesterday came into view.

"Have you decided on what flower to plant?" Reinhardt questioned.

"Not yet, I am still pondering".

"I see, so what’s felt on my schedule next?".

At the mention of work, Melissa’s expression turned serious "You have a meeting with Baron Lehan’s son".

Knock... Knock... At his moment, there was a knock on the door and Anastasia came in.

"Oh good, Lord Reinhardt, you are in your office." Seeing him, she looked a little relieved.

"What’s wrong?" The head maid looked at Melissa beside him and reported, "Marquis Boulevard is here".

So that was the case. Reinhardt nodded his head. The noble did tell him that he would visit often since his wife was here. However, isn’t that too soon?

Melissa, without much change in expression, nodded her head.

"It looks like we will have to change the schedule. Shall I arrange a meeting with Baron Lehan’s son tomorrow?".

"Do that." When it comes to rank, a Marquis was much higher up the ladder. Naturally, he needed to meet with the other first when they came all the way here from the capital.

Inside the guest hall, Marquis Boulevard was waiting for him. The moment the two of them entered, he got up from his seat and jubilantly walked towards them.

"Sir Reinhardt, I can’t express how fortunate I am feeling after seeing you again. Being in your divine presence feels like I am being cleansed of all the filth and evil of this world".

As usual, this guy was really hard to get along with. After singing his praises to no end, he looked at his wife.

"My beautiful wife, how have you been? Did you miss me?"

With eyes of yearning, he was just about to hug Melissa when the latter coughed, reminding him of where they were.

"Ah, it slipped my mind completely. Please forgive this great offence of mine, Sir Reinhardt".

"Don’t worry, let us sit first and then talk."

The three of them sat around a table. Reinhardt sat on a sofa facing the Boulevard while Melissa sat beside him.

"Eh? Melissa, why aren’t you sitting beside me?"

"Husband, have you forgotten? This is an official meeting and I am currently Lord Reinhardt’s assistant".

"Ah, you are right. Soir Reinhardt is the hope of humanity, you must aid him with all your power".

"You don’t have to remind me, I take my work very seriously".

The first half of their discussion was your normal marital talks with Boulevard asking Melissa this and that, her life here, and if she needed anything. The important talks came after that.

"Ah, Sir Reinhardt. Since I was in my way here, I was tasked by Her Majesty to give you this scroll".

Reinhardt’s eyes immediately turned serious as he received the scroll embroidered in gold and red from Marquis Boulevard. Usually, when one received a scroll like this directly from the crown, it meant one thing— Imperial Order.

However, to a knight commander, the meaning of the scroll was a little different. For them, receiving a red and golden scroll meant— a mission and not just any mission, but a high priority one.

As there were too many eyes here, he decided to open it later and kept the scroll in his [Dimensional Storage]. The talks after that didn’t have much importance. He simply relayed to them about all the events and things happening around the capital.

From Marquis Boulevard, Reinhardt was able to learn what the other Seven Great Knight orders were up to.

By the time their talks finished, it was already evening.

"Marquis Boulevard, what are your plans for today?"

Seeing that it was getting late, he asked his guest. Since it didn’t look like Marquis Boulevard planned on going anywhere, he was sure that the latter was thinking of sleeping here in his mansion.

"Ah, I have an important task in the neighbouring county, so I’ll be leaving tomorrow".

"In that case, stay the night here. Melissa will show you to your quarters".

"Haha, in that case, I’ll impose on Sir Reinhardt. Not only your presence, but your hospitality is divine too."

Before the other party could start, he hurriedly made his exit.

Just as Reinhardt was about to leave the room, Boulevard invited him to drink with him.

"I have many exquisite alcohols that I have brought with me. Capital’s finest and even from the foreign kingdoms. How about it?"

Well, that does sound like an excellent plan. However, too bad, he cannot get drunk. His passive divine traits would remove any and all substance trying to harm his body.

As tempting as the offer was, he had to turn it down. However, before he could, even Melissa joined in.

"Ah, that is an excellent plan. Since Lord Reinhardt has been working too hard these days, it is a good opportunity to relax a little. If you don’t give your mind and body some relaxation, it would affect your daily life".

It appeared that even she wanted him to drink with them. Reinhardt narrowed his eyes, immediately understanding what was going on.

Alright, since she wanted to play it like that, he would play along.

.

.

And so at night, Reinhardt arrived at the couple’s room. He knocked on the door, and soon it was opened by none other than his secretary, who welcomed him in.

At this moment, she was wearing quite a different outfit than he was used to seeing her in. In that negligee that exposed much of her skin, her mesmerising curves, that deep ravine between her breasts, her creamy soft legs, and her plump butt cheeks, everything released a powerful seduction.

"Hehe, welcome. Husband is inside waiting for you."

She grabbed his hands and pulled him in. Inside, Marquis Boulevard was sitting on a sofa while decorating the table in front of him with lavish and costly looking alcohol.
