Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 918 918 Lady Mora

A few more Nobles came over when they noticed that Wolfe was talking to someone in the garden, and that he wasn't occupied with the other Nobles at the moment. Two identical young men with fancy suits and confident strides came with smiles on their faces, and extended their hands for a greeting.

"Saint Noxus, it is a pleasure to meet you. We are Aaron and Andon, the fourth and fifth sons of Count Ara. I do hope that we're not intruding on your time with this lovely young lady." One of the dark-haired twins introduced himself.

"Not at all, I was just discussing the improvements that we have made to the gardens with the Lady Alessia Mora, daughter of the Baron Mora from the Eight District." Wolfe explained.

That made the two young men perk up.

If she was discussing the gardens with Wolfe, that meant she was single, and it seemed he wasn't going to pursue her, which left this lovely young woman open for courting. If they had seen her before they might have overlooked her simply because she blended in so well, but the way that she was blushing as she looked at them had a particular allure to it.

Wolfe noticed as well, but he read more into it than the inexperienced and proper young Noblemen might have. She was definitely thinking naughty things about the twins.

He smiled at the three of them, and decided to just skip propriety to have a little fun.

"Tell me boys, as I'm from quite some distance away, is it common for men to share a wife here? As everyone probably knows, I have two wives of my own, and I had wondered if the reverse was true."

The boys laughed. "There's no rule against it, but it's a bit uncommon. As identical twins, we've shared everything since birth, but the suggestion of sharing a wife might scare away any potential candidates we approached." The one who had introduced himself as Aaron joked.

Alessia discretely punched Wolfe in the kidneys, while her face flared bright red. He wasn't going to stop, though. He wished them all the happiness in the world.

"You know, there is a nice spot by the trees. Perhaps we could sit in the shade and the three of you could have a lovely and properly chaperoned chance to meet each other? I doubt anyone would question the integrity of a Saint as Chaperone." Wolfe suggested.

The boys smiled and each took one of Alessia's hands to lead her to the spot under the tree Wolfe had indicated, before realizing that there were only three seats as the tree was on the other side.

"I will be right over here. But I will put up a soundproof barrier, and only step back inside if I sense someone needs me." Wolfe explained quietly as he took a seat and gestured for one of the maids to bring over drinks.

She arrived with a tray, and then quickly vanished again, serving drinks to the Nobles who were tiring of the watching game and beginning to move through the garden, awed by the work that Wolfe had done.

None of them had come this far yet, but Wolfe could see a few of them discretely checking the tables he had made, shocked that the tops were constructed of rare jadeite.

The staff had done the same, even going as far as to discretely pair lift the tops, to be sure that they did come apart and could be easily moved later.

If the luncheon went on longer than anticipated, they would need to put these away and set up for a dinner inside, after which the Nobles liked to take a walk in the gardens. The tables would be in the way at that point, so they needed to go after everyone moved inside.

Many of the workers were still showing up through the small back alley door, where there were showers in a pair of small shacks, and a stack of uniforms set out for both men and women. They had obviously done this before, and the butler must have called workers in from the village to supplement the staff.

As if thinking about him had summoned him, the butler himself passed by on a tour of the gardens to see what Wolfe had changed while he was here.

"Come sit a minute, I need to talk to you about something." Wolfe greeted him.

"Of course, Saint Noxus."

"I think that you've seen all the tables, and the items that were created in the food service area, those are all yours to keep. It would take more energy to get rid of them after the party than to wash them, so you can keep them in reserve for another large gathering.

The tables split, with the tops coming off and the base folding for storage, and the chairs are folding chairs with enchanted seats. Just take the cloth off and they fold flat.

The rest of the changes I make along the way likely won't be permanent, but those ones are. I also noticed that you have had to call in quite a few staff for the event, and as it is directly my fault, courtesy dictates that I don't force your lady to bear the costs.

Take this pouch of silver coins to pay the workers for the day. Discretely if you must." Wolfe explained.

The butler chuckled. "Sir, the daily wage for a server is five coppers, half a coin."

Wolfe shrugged. "Then pay them double for their lost time at their day jobs. I know many of them wanted to be home after we renovated the village."

The butler nodded politely, and pocketed the coin pouch before looking at the silent trio.

"Are they perhaps mute?" He asked as the three smiled, blushed and gestured while they talked.

"I put them in a soundproof barrier while the twins try to woo a potential bride." Wolfe chuckled.

The butler shook his head with an amused smile on his face. "Her father will be overjoyed if they succeed. I've already got a writ of approval from him should she find a suitable suitor. That is why she's in town in the first place, but she has been staying with a friend of the family who holds the title of Baroness herself."

"Then we shall wish them luck, and I will let you get back to work. It looks like someone noticed me sitting here, so I will have guests to entertain, and they will bore you to death if you don't run away."
