Early in the morning the next day, Aurelia sent Muriel to May. Then, the driver of the carriage brought Rollin to Duke Dupont's mansion.
After sending Rollin in, Aurelia stayed outside the mansion to avoid unnecessary awkwardness.
After entering, Rollin was quickly brought to Duke Dupont's office by the butler.
At this moment, Duke Dupont was reading documents at his desk. Upon seeing Rollin's arrival, he stopped and sized him up for a few minutes.
"Rollin, do some work on the side. I'll bring you to the banquet hall in a while."
Upon hearing this, Rollin was a little flattered. He did not expect that the other party did not do anything at all.
About an hour later, he brought Rollin to the banquet hall.
In the hall, a woman dressed in luxurious clothes sat next to Monica. Her mature aura was somewhat similar to Monica's.
After seeing Rollin, she immediately stood up and came to the side of Rollin to size him up.
"Aiyo! These arms and legs are really strong. No wonder my daughter would fall in love with you!"
Duke Dupont immediately raised his eyes to signal for her to be more dignified. However, Monica's mother did not intend to pay attention to him and continued to dawdle on Rollin.
"Mm, I'm very satisfied! You should immediately marry Monica!"
Upon hearing his words, Rollin immediately became embarrassed. Wasn't this a little too hasty!?
Upon hearing this, Monica immediately ran over and grabbed her hand.
"Stop touching him. He's my future husband. What if you hurt him!?"
Duke Dupont immediately coughed violently when he saw this scene. "Cough, cough, cough, cough."
Sensing that something was wrong, the mother and daughter immediately sat back down.
Duke Dupont immediately whispered to Rollin, "Just pretend that nothing happened!"
Then, he walked back to his seat.
After everyone sat down, Duke Dupont told him everything about Rollin's recommendation to the Magic Academy.
Upon hearing this, Rollin immediately stood up and bowed to Duke Dupont to thank him. "Thank you very much, Duke Dupont!"
Upon hearing this, he was immediately unhappy. "Although you two aren't married yet, you have to change the way you address me!"
After he finished speaking, Rollin understood what Duke Dupont meant. "Father, Mother!"
After hearing the shouts, both of them immediately beamed with joy.
Monica's parents were such straightforward people. As long as it was something that their daughter liked, and there wasn't be too much of a problem in principle, and they could accept it.
"I reckon that when school starts in September, you'll have to go to the academy. Before that, stay with Monica for a few days, and don't wander around!"
Although Rollin really wanted to refuse, he had no other choice but to nod in response.
The lunch party lasted for more than two hours and only stopped when Duke Dupont was drunk.
When he returned to his room, Duke Dupont was still regretting how his daughter had suddenly been taken advantage of by a pig!
Monica's mother smiled and greeted Rollin before bringing Duke Dupont back to his room.
At this moment, Rollin thought of Aurelia, who was still waiting outside, and hurriedly went to greet him.
After telling Aurelia everything that had happened, he left the Duke's residence in a carriage.
When he returned to the hall, only Monica, who was dressed in dignified clothes, was left waiting for Rollin.
Seeing that he had returned, Monica immediately stood up and brought Rollin back to her room.
This was a very large room. It was no exaggeration to say that the bed was as big as Rollin's room!
"From today onwards, Rollin, I will be your fiancée. You have to treat me well from now on!"
All of this happened too suddenly. Rollin had yet to react to what had happened.
He could only lean on Monica's side and lie down for a while.
Monica had not been in contact with Rollin for a long time. When Rollin was taking a nap, she carefully observed this man from the side.
'The slums is really a magical place. To think that there would be such an outstanding man.' Monica could not help but think of this.
Then, she recalled the first beautiful misunderstanding and the various conflicts that had occurred between her and Rollin.
Then, she ruined Rollin's good deed, and she proposed to make it up to him.
The more she thought about it, the redder her face turned. All of this happened too coincidentally. Unknowingly, Monica fell in love with this man.
As she thought about it, she fell asleep on his body.
Before the sun set, the butler knocked on the door.
"Young Master, Miss! It's time to wake up. It's time to eat dinner!"
Upon hearing the shouts, Rollin, who had just woken up from his drunken stupor, rubbed his forehead.
'I drank too much in the afternoon! I should drink less in the evening!'
When he got up, he realized that there was a person lying on top of him.
"It's Monica! Wake up!"
Monica, who had slept soundly, immediately opened her eyes.
"Eh! Did I fall asleep?"
After the two of them washed up, they immediately went to the banquet hall. At this time, Duke Dupont was already prepared and was ready to have a good drink with Rollin again!
Because he had failed in the afternoon and was still full of nonsense, he was now ready to change it to his favorite wine and have another big fight with Rollin during dinner.
'I must make you drunk and make you full of nonsense!' With this thought in mind, the two of them immediately sat down and started to drink together.
They knew that late at night, Rollin and the Duke were drunk together.
The two women helped their husbands into their rooms.
The next morning, Monica woke Rollin up after tormenting him.
"Wake up quickly. My parents aren't home today. I'll take you around Imperial City!"
After washing up for a while, the two of them sat in a carriage and arrived at the most luxurious street in the Imperial City.
This place was completely made of a marble railing that was connected to the floor tiles. Furthermore, the decorations of all the shops were all in the same color.
The entire prosperous street looked very much like this.
Everyone on the street was dressed very cleanly. Their clothes were all decorated with various luxurious patterns!
"Is this the most prosperous place in the capital?!"
Compared to the commoner district, this place was like heaven on earth, not to mention the slums district that was like hell.
Monica immediately brought Rollin to her favorite shop and ordered a few dishes.
Rollin took a look at the menu and realized that there was nothing on it that was less than a gold coin.
In other words, the food he ate was enough to allow a person in the slums to live for a lifetime!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Rollin could not help but sigh at the fickleness of the world!
