The aristocrat was well acquainted with his companion’s persistent nature. He understood that no amount of persuasion would sway him, so he felt compelled to offer a warning. “If you’re truly determined to pursue the young man, you must be cautious of the man by his side. I’ve observed his perpetually tense muscles and his keen awareness of his surroundings. I suspect he’s either a seasoned hunter or a former soldier from the Empire’s army. His mental fortitude is likely of at least A-rank.”
The aristocratic young master trusted his companion’s judgment of character. Although his own mental strength was not insignificant, as a pampered aristocrat, he lacked any advantage when facing soldiers or hunters of equal mental strength.
Accordingly, he solemnly nodded and replied, “Rest assured, I won’t act impulsively. I’ll exercise patience and wait for an opportune moment when that man is absent.”
After lunch, Zhou Ye received an urgent call from Carrick, the manager of the bathhouse, summoning him to address an unforeseen situation. Regrettably, Zhou Ye had to apologize to his wife and Davies. “I’m sorry, but there’s an urgent matter at work that requires my immediate attention. I’ll have to leave you now, but I’ll return in time for dinner.”

“I will,” Zhou Ye affirmed. Turning to Davies, he added, “In my absence, I entrust Mi Lu’s safety to you. Both of you need to stay vigilant, understand?” Davies wore a serious expression as he nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll protect your wife. ”
Zhou Ye sighed helplessly. “It’s about protecting both of you!”
Davies half-heartedly nodded. “No one can harm me. I’m very strong.”
Thus, in his mind, he only needed to safeguard Mi Lu when Zhou Ye wasn’t around.
Zhou Ye recognized Davies’ thoughts, but he didn’t have the luxury of time to argue further. He nodded and hurriedly departed.
Once Zhou Ye was gone, Davies swiftly assumed the role of a bodyguard.
Mimicking the noble young masters he had observed earlier, he politely sought Mi Lu’s opinions and ensured her well-being.
“Miss Mi Lu, where would you like to go next?”
Mi Lu responded cooperatively, raising her hand to grasp the young man’s arm. “Let’s head to the garden for a glimpse.”
Davies’ eyes sparkled at the mention of the garden. He had a profound fondness for the enchanting blossoms that adorned its grounds.
Observing the young man’s evident delight, Mi Lu realized her assumption was correct—Davies truly cherished the garden’s resplendent flowers.
They lingered in the garden for a while. Just as they were about to depart, a group of manor staff returned, transporting several tables along with various kitchen utensils, powdered ingredients, and fresh flowers.
Curious, Mi Lu approached one of the staff members and inquired, “What’s happening here?”

If you’re interested, you can stay and witness the production process. Alternatively, you may rest in the adjacent area. Our staff will deliver delectable flower jelly to you later.”
Mi Lu expressed her gratitude, then turned to Davies and suggested, “If you’re interested, we can stay and observe.”
Davies nodded, content with remaining where they were. “There’s nowhere else
I’d rather be.”
Thus, Mi Lu and Davies stayed put, captivated by the spectacle of the chefs crafting flower jelly.
As the staff introduced the process, everyone learned that the ingredients required to freeze the flowers were freshly plucked and washed flower petals, alongside the powdery substance they had just witnessed. The staff explained that the powder was made from fish glue and served as a convenient means to freeze the flowers, more manageable than using an entire piece of fish glue.
Following the chef’s lead, the staff went on to elucidate the various types of flowers being used. “For this occasion, we have selected osmanthus, roses, chrysanthemums, and jasmine. These flowers were imported from the Alliance and are edible varieties modified by the research institute. Not only are they edible, but they also bloom all year round, thanks to the modifications
conducted at the manor..”
