Seeing Norbert take out his special wine bottle as if he was taking credit, Annick couldn't help but wipe his sweat.

"Put it away, and when you get in the car, you can drive the carriage by yourself."

"Oh, no problem. By the way, section chief, who are the two beautiful ladies next to you?"

Seeing Norbert staring at them, the two sisters hugged Annick's arms tightly.

"Brother, this perverted guy is so scary."

"Yes, you have to protect us."

When Norbert heard this, he turned to stone, his eyes were dull, and he couldn't say his usual shameless words.

Annick couldn't laugh or cry and replied: "When did you two become so weak? By the way, my two sisters usually like to pretend to be ladies on the outside, but they actually like to play pranks on the inside. Don't pay attention to what I just said."

He patted Nolbe, who was still petrified, and then asked casually.

"Masura, why didn't you see it?"

Norbert, who was still frozen, replied hesitantly: "No, I don't know. On the second floor, these are her rooms on the right."

"Irena, Irina, go and see if you have any impressions of the lovely policewoman who came to our house last time. Don't stay still. Is the gift box Merlin asked you to make ready?"

Hearing that there was something serious, Norbert regained his energy and immediately replied.

"It's done. According to your wishes, the box is very beautiful."

"Then bring it. It just so happens that the outer packaging of the gift I gave you at the banquet last year is still there. I hope it can be stuffed inside."

It has to be said that Nolbe's craftsmanship is very strong. The four top corners of the wooden box he brought were wrapped with brass, and the whole body was made of brown jujube wood. After polishing, it felt like jade.

"Well, the workmanship is good." Norbert said as if he wanted to take credit.

"Not bad, just a bit big."

Annick found the outer packaging of the birthday gift given to Congressman Carter's daughter last year, and it happened to be perfume.

"Compared with the outer packaging of this Xiang'ao perfume, yours is a bit wider."

Looking at the paper bag in Annick's hand, Norbert shook his shoulders and explained: "You can't blame me. Section Chief, you didn't tell me the size in advance. It's too late to change it now."

"The problem is not big, just put it vertically, exposing a small part. The key is the logo. It only needs to be seen that we are giving away famous brand perfumes. Otherwise, it will be too bad if they think we are eating and drinking for free."

Annick was in trouble and couldn't tell. He obviously spent fifty pounds but he couldn't just say it directly, otherwise it would be very respectable to give him anything.

"What's the point?"

"Otherwise, you can choose the gift yourself. Of course, it will not be reimbursed."

Norbert heard this and joined in.

"No, section chief, I made this box after all. Although the material cost is not expensive and the handwork is valuable, I am not bragging. Even a twenty-year-old carpenter may not have my skills."

Then you are really wasting your talents as a policeman. If you are interested in traveling to the earth hundreds of years ago, go and make friends with an emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He is also very good at carpentry.

"Go to Merlin and wait. When he arrives, ask him to bring the potion."

"good."

After sending everyone away, Annick decided to take a nap.

After a while, Annick was woken up.

"Here section chief, the potion, be careful, it will be gone if you drop it."

Merlin handed over four glass bottles, and Annick carefully put them into gift boxes filled with cotton and velvet.

"I know, after all, a bottle is more than ten pounds, so it is very expensive. Are Matthew and the others ready?"

"Okay, your two sisters and I seem to be talking and laughing outside."

"Okay, let's go, today will probably be difficult."

The anxiety before doing something bad was like this. Annick got into the carriage with his uneasy heart and sat beside Merlin.

Mathiu, Elena and Irina sat aside, looking at her distracted brother, and Irina stepped on his toes.

"Yeah, my toes still hurt a lot. If anything happens, just say no."

"You idiot, don't you appreciate the results of Irina and I's hard work for a long time?"

Whatever results there are, there will be results.

Annick followed her gaze and this time noticed Matthew sitting between the two sisters, with a red face and lowered head.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to look good when you put it away, Matthew."

Mathew in front of her was wearing a sky blue tube top evening dress, and her hair had been carefully taken care of. Her long hair was tied behind her head, and a butterfly-shaped hairpin inlaid with crystal clear diamonds was used to fix the ponytail.

braid.

"Thank you, senior." Matthew's voice was as low as a mosquito.

"I'm afraid you might be stealing the master's limelight by dressing up so beautifully. It won't be convenient for my plan." Merlin teased.

Irina replied with a dissatisfied look: "Yes, no matter how beautifully we dressed up today. It is estimated that the eyes of the guests present were still attracted by Her Royal Highness. Last week's "Eggsberg Daily News" fully praised Her Royal Highness.

Wisdom, as expected, the reporter who used to harass our wooden brother is also here."

"Are you Rita? I haven't seen you for a long time. I guess you know we can't dig up any news here."

Irena added: "So you were abandoned after you lost your news value. My poor brother was manipulated by others. It is the same today. He has to gamble his own future for a mere woman.

"

I felt a little sore, and Annick said hurriedly: "What do you mean by just a woman? It's just a friend, a life-long friendship. Also, if our old man betroths you to a man you don't know and has no feelings for today, I will take the lead."

If you take it away, the girl's happiness in the rest of her life is of course important."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Seeing that her brother was getting serious, Irena interrupted.

"I really have a pair of reassuring sisters." Annick said in an eccentric manner.

But this kind of trick didn't seem to have any effect on them. Irina directly answered: "That's right, it's your blessing to have me and sister Irena."

The City Defense Army Headquarters was temporarily requisitioned by General Granger as a venue for adult ceremonies and engagements. Early in the morning, many carriages were parked at the intersection.

"Norbe, let's get off the car first and wait for you at the door."

"OK."

Everyone walked to the gate, where soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition were standing guard. There was one almost every ten yards, with shining bayonets, which looked particularly dazzling in the morning sun.

"Do you guys have invitations? How about we go in now?"

Standing at the door, the officer in charge of checking the invitation asked when he saw Annick and everyone else.

"Are you a captain? Of course there is an invitation letter. We were waiting for our companion to come with us, and he parked the car. By the way, you guys are really well guarded."

Showing the invitation, the officer checked it and complained: "I can't help it. Today is not only the birthday of the general's daughter, but also Her Royal Highness the Princess is coming in the afternoon, plus a lot of nobles from Lumang brought by the prospective son-in-law.

We have to be extra careful now. We'll have to search you when we get in, please forgive me."
