"It's really disturbing you, thank you very much for your hospitality."

"It's okay, I hope these can help you."

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Violet thought about the conversation just now while rushing towards the direction of Merupado Palace. Her teacher invited her to dinner together this evening.

......

"All the gifts bought?"

"Hmm."

"Then let's go."

"Don't you ask me what I bought?"

"No need, anyway, it's you and not me who will be ugly at that time."

"You..."

"Okay, let's go quickly, if you don't leave, you'll freeze Xiuyi."

Mary glared at Accardo angrily and got into the co-pilot's seat.

"Wait a minute, you don't want to tell me that this dinner is at Palazzo Merupado, do you?"

Looking at the huge building in front of her, which was hundreds of meters high, Mary squirmed her lips and asked in surprise.

"Congratulations, you guessed right."

"But it's not open at all this Christmas, how can we get in."

"Hold tight."

Accardo came to a remote corner and looked at what Mary was holding in her arms and said.

"Huh?"

"I said, let you hug Shuichi and the gift."

The next moment, a pair of long wings stretched out from Accardo's back, his right hand wrapped around Mary's slender waist, his wings vibrated violently, and he soared directly into the air and rushed to the top of the palace.

When they landed, Mary's face was still a little pale, and she was panting slightly, recalling the exciting scene just now.

"Let's go, don't keep them waiting."

Mary followed Accardo behind, glancing at the classic-style decorations on the walls from time to time, and then the two came to a double-open door. Like the gate of a high-class hall, it is thick and tall, and it is carved with elaborate and ornate patterns.

The door was pushed open, but the view inside was not what Mary thought. The area of the room is not particularly large, it has the appearance of a regular hexagon. The first three sides are all transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, exposed on the outside of the castle, and the outside view is unobstructed. In the middle of the room sits a log table with an extravagant crystal chandelier hanging above it, and a carpet embroidered with countless flowers on the floor. The light is yellow and full of warmth, dispelling the cold outside. At this time, there were already three people sitting at the table.

One of them saw them come in, stood up and walked up to him, and said with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Accardo, you are here. How are you doing?

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Violet, and your dress looks good."

Accardo looked at Violet's outfit, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

As if to cater to Christmas, Violet today wears a big red bow with white dots on her head. The top is also red, and the collar is white, which looks bright and vibrant. The lower body is wearing a thickened velvet skirt, although it lacks a little lightness, but it brings a bit of coquettishness to her overall image. There was also a small golden bell tied to his wrist, which rang one after another when he walked.

"How did this bell come about?"

"Well, it was sent by a customer today."

Accardo nodded and didn't ask any more.

"Hey, my Mr. Count, you really have peach blossom luck around you? Won't you tell us about it?

Margaret looked at Mary on the side, raised her eyebrows, and said a little strangely.

"Mary Crick, don't look at her like this, she is one of the best MI6 agents and has made great achievements for this country."

Accardo naturally knew what Margaret was doing in Yin and Yang, and gave them a general introduction. But to say that the real exaggeration is that Mary's eyes are about to pop out after knowing the identities of May and Margaret. After a few exchanges, she completely let go from the original crampedness, which Accardo can only say is amazing.

The atmosphere of the whole dinner gave Accardo a nice and short feeling. What he eats has become secondary to him, and what matters is who he eats with.

During this period, the crowd can be described as excited, and soon entered the chat session after eating and drinking enough.

"Xiuyi is really cute, is he already asleep? When will I have a baby?

Margaret looked at the sleeping Shuichi, her eyes full of envy.

"Margaret, raising children is not something that can be done in a momentary interest."

Looking at her appearance, Mei reminded her from the side.

"Ah, got it, got it, grandmother. By the way, let's start giving gifts. Sorry, Mary, this Lord Earl did not inform us that you were coming, so we did not prepare in advance.

Margaret did not hesitate, without a trace of psychological burden, and put the pot directly on Accardo's head.

"Oh, it's okay, I brought you a gift, I hope you like it."

Mary handed Margaret a gift box.

"Oh, is this for me? Thank you, rest assured, whatever it is, I will love it. "

When the gift was opened, inside was a stylish women's hat. This gift really won Margaret's heart.

What was given to Mei was a bottle of perfume, which was different from the rich floral fragrance, and the fragrance was more neutral and close to woody. All in all, May was happy with the gift.

"Thank you, in fact, with your current physical state, you should rest at home."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Accardo could hear Mei's complaints about him.

Good guys, how did they suddenly become a gang? Maybe it's because Shuichi is too cute or something else, Accardo said that he is inexplicably lying on the gun.

Women really can't guess!

"It's cruelty to yourself to treat yourself too favorably, May. You have to take into account the feelings of the other person while you think about yourself. "

Violet, it's yours."

"Hey, do I have that too? Thank you.

After a brief surprise, Violet took the gift box and opened it to see a brand-new and delicate-looking fountain pen inside.

"Thank you very much, I love this gift."

After hearing her answer, Mary smiled with satisfaction.

In the other two letters, Mary could tell from the appearance that the person who wrote the letter was a woman, only Violet's letter was too concise in appearance, and Mary could not infer anything other than that it was written by an extremely disciplined young man.

So in the end, she chose to choose a high-end fountain pen as a gift, after all, regardless of men and women, fountain pens are a good choice for people who are strict with themselves. Now it seems that nothing has gone wrong.

"So, what about mine?"

Accardo on the side raised his eyebrows and said to Mary.

"Shuichi's name is all given by you, isn't that enough."

Mary leaned into Accardo's ear and whispered.

"Please, how can this be counted, his last name is Akai."

"Then tonight, let's find a place, I'll give you another gift..." After

saying this, Mary's face also turned slightly red.

Accardo glanced at Mary with a look of interest, and then he himself received the gift.

May gave him a gold pocket watch with a sense of age, and Margaret gave him a brooch. Because what he didn't expect was that Violet also prepared a gift for him, a sapphire necklace. The color is as bright as her eyes, and it can be seen that it is not cheap, and the other party should have saved money for a long time to buy it.

After thanking each other, Accardo also took out his own gifts and gave May and Margaret a necklace, and Mary a scarf.

"Violet, this is for you."

"Hey..."

"Open it and take a look."

When Violet opened it, inside was a beautifully looking box.

The entire box is made of palatial sterling silver gilt and is also set with pearls, rubies and green enamel. There are also delicate and luxurious reliefs on it, highlighting the luxury.

"Ah, this is a music box, or a songbird music box, this is really beautiful."

Mei, as the former queen, has seen many strange treasures, and when she saw the box, she let out a sigh of admiration.

"Music box?"

Violet showed a hint of confusion, she had never seen anything like this.

"I'll teach you."

Mei pulled out a small drawer from the bottom of the music box, took out a bird-shaped key from it, wound the music box, turned on the switch, and the top cover of the box instantly popped open, and a bird suddenly jumped out and made a crisp and bright call.

The movements of the bird's mouth, neck, and tail are exactly the same as those of a real bird. The feathers on the body are also glued from the feathers of real birds, which appear vivid and lifelike.

Looking at the birds that kept chirping on the music box, a slight light appeared in Violet's eyes.

"Thank you, Mr. Accardo, I enjoyed this gift very much."

Violet held the music box in her hand and bowed in thanks. A warm and strong feeling was constantly tugging at her heartstrings, and she didn't know what it was, only that her heartbeat was constantly accelerating.

"You really are willing to pay for it, Lord Count."

To Margaret's slightly vinegarious words, Accardo did not answer. For Violet, he still identifies it as a tool.

It's like buying a good holster for a good gun.

Accardo thought so, but what he couldn't see was a softness in his eyes when he looked at Violet.
