After lightly shaking hands with Avdotka, Talia released her hand and followed Avdotka away.
Everyone in the library hurriedly dispersed when they saw this, for fear of bumping into the two noble ladies.
In Ursus, the classes are quite distinct. If a commoner accidentally offends the nobles, his fate will not be good.
That's why Tallulah gave this dress to Talia.
This outfit was Talia's best protection. As long as she wore it, she would basically not be recognized unless she met the ruler of Dunsdalk.
No one dared to take the risk of questioning a noble. Not only would there be no benefit if they succeeded, but if they failed, they would become a punching bag for others.
Not worth the candle.
Walking down the street with Avdotka and looking at the pedestrians around her who were deliberately avoiding her, Talia once again changed her opinion of the class-divided lifestyle in Ursus.
Before, when she walked down the street in casual clothes, a few girls would turn their heads to look at her, but now that she was wearing this outfit, not to mention looking at her, no one even dared to glance at her.
Following Afdoka's route, Talia soon saw a warmly decorated...cafe at the end of the street?
Looking at the plain decoration at the door, Talia was puzzled.
If there hadn't been a sign hanging above her head, she would have thought that Avdoga had taken the wrong road and led her to a B&B.
When they pushed the door open, the wind chimes hanging on the door made a clear and pleasant sound, disturbing a Rupert girl who was washing something with her back to them.
"Welcome...Ah! Miss Aphrodite!"
The girl who was washing things turned around, and her eyes lit up when she saw Afdoka. She quickly put down what she was doing and rushed to the front desk, casually wiping her wet hands on her apron.
"What are you going to order today? Is it the same as before?"
"Just like before."
The girl skillfully took out a small notebook and wrote down Avdoga's request on it. From her skillful look, it was obvious that this was not Avdoga's first time here.
"And what about this lady? Would you like something to drink? How about dessert?"
After asking Afdoka, the Lupo girl turned to ask Talia.
"Is there any milk? If so, this will do. As for dessert, you can order whatever you like."
After casually ordering a few things, Talia followed Avdoga to sit in a secluded seat, far away from the counter where they would not be disturbed by anyone.
"So, Talia, can you tell me now, are you looking for me to do something? Or are you just looking for me?"
After putting the notebook and other things away, Afdoka didn't keep anyone in suspense and started talking directly with Talia.
"Then I'll tell you directly."
Seeing that Avdotja brought up the topic directly, Talia gave up the idea of continuing to chat.
"I want to... buy some food from Miss Avdotka."
After these words were spoken, the smile on Avdotja's face froze, and then returned to normal. If Talia hadn't been staring at her, she might not have noticed it.
"Is that so?"
Avdotka wasn't particularly surprised by what Talia said.
She and her father had been in Dundelk for some time, and they had never hidden their whereabouts, so it was not surprising that their identities were discovered.
"If you want to buy food, just go to my father. Why not come to me, Miss Talia?"
Adding the word "Miss" behind Talia's name, the sense of alienation between the words was released without any concealment.
Since Talia came to do a deal with her, she had to change the relationship of friendship to a business relationship.
Let's keep things separate, don't confuse this kind of thing.
Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly!
What's more, they have only just met each other.
Volume 3: Chapter 54: Natural Countermeasure to Darkness
How come... he suddenly seems like a different person?
Not familiar with the trading methods of the noble Japanese, Taklia became a little confused after Afuduojia changed her mask. She didn't understand why Afuduojia suddenly changed her state.
Is there something wrong with her?
Or maybe she said something wrong, causing Avdoga to begin to doubt her identity.
No! It must not be exposed!
With a gleam in her eyes, Talia released the aura she had restrained and confronted Aphrodite.
The guerrillas' affairs cannot be exposed. Once discovered by the enemy, both she and Tallulah will be in danger, and everyone far above the frozen land will not be able to escape!
Let's try it out first...
"I don't need much, so I won't bother the Marquis. I guess he wouldn't think much of this small business..."
"Is that why you came to see me?"
Twirling her fingers around her hair, Afdoka looked at Talia, not knowing what she was thinking. Her deep eyes made Talia feel uneasy.
She had no power at all, so if this noble lady wanted to do something to her, she would not be able to resist.
"But I'm just an ordinary noble child. My family has no intention of letting me take over the business. So, Miss Talia's plan will probably fail."
Looking at Talia with a smile, Avdotja told a lie.
She wanted to see what purpose Talia had in approaching her.
It's just a small business. Even if she takes full control of it, her father won't say anything. Just sell it, and she will bear all the losses or profits herself.
It's just that she doesn't want to trade with those guys with ulterior motives, especially those... who approach her specifically for the purpose of trading!
So, are you Miss Talia?
"Is that so..."
A lost expression hung on Talia's face, her teeth biting her lower lip, and that fragile look, as if it would break at any moment, caught Avdoga's eyes.
For a moment, Avdoga actually wanted to change her words and take them back, worried that the girl in front of her would be sad.
Fortunately, she reacted in time and did not do anything bad.
"Yes, after all, my father is still able to hold on, so it's not our turn to interfere. All we can do is just some minor fights."
Observing Talia's reaction, Avdotka prepared to proceed to the next countermeasure.
All that’s left is to reveal a little information so that the little bird can grasp a little hope, and then the transaction can be completed smoothly.
She has to thank you!
Waiting for Talia's reply, Afdoka slowly drank the drinks and desserts that had just been served.
A sip of tea, a bite of cake, the bitterness mixed with sweetness made her squint her eyes.
This was something she learned in Victoria. Only the nobles there had the leisure to develop something like this to kill time.
If it were Ursus, they would probably invent afternoon tea with the water of life as the main theme, right?
It's flammable!
Time passed minute by minute, and the teapot in front of Avdoga was already half empty, and there were only two small cakes left on the plate.
It takes a long time to think. The war nobles have great patience.
The time of "business talks" had obviously exceeded Avdotja's expectations, and her originally confident mentality also quietly changed. She didn't understand why Talia took so long to consider it when it was just a simple matter of changing positions.
As long as Talia opened her mouth, she could make a small concession and then naturally complete the deal with Talia.
Raising her hand to order another pot of tea, Avdotja's hands began to drum unconsciously on the table.
This was a little habit of hers, and she would only do this when she was upset. It was obvious that Talia's silence had invisibly broken Avdoga's offensive.
And Talia, what is our little bird doing?
She racked her brains to think whether the solution she discussed with Tallulah last night was suitable for the current situation.
She is now just like a student preparing for an exam, having trouble with the fill-in-the-blank questions.
There is clearly only one answer, but she has several alternatives, and they all feel similar!
"So, what do you think? Miss Talia, would you like me to introduce you to my father?"
In the end, it was Avdoga who lost her patience first and spoke first.
There was no way. She had already drunk two pots of tea and was afraid that if she waited any longer, she would have to run to the bathroom.
"No, thank you for your kindness. The Marquis is very busy. I would feel bad if I bothered him with such a small matter."
Rejecting Avdoga's suggestion, Talia picked up the already cold milk and drank it all in one gulp.
She had no confidence to face a marquis who had made great achievements in the business world. How could she possibly defeat the marquis when she had trouble dealing with Avdotka?
I'm afraid that just a few words will reveal my secrets to others!
"Besides, I want to spend some time with Aphrodite. It's so hard to meet someone with the same hobbies as me. If we part ways over such a small matter, wouldn't that be a shame?"
Talia looked at Afdoka with a smile, and the gentle and peaceful beauty made Afdoka feel a little overwhelmed.
What's with this kind of flirtatious talk?
Unintentional or...
Two red clouds floated on her cheeks. Afdoka covered her face with one hand and turned her head away embarrassedly.
If a boy said this, she wouldn't react so strongly and would just refuse him directly.
But these words came from Talia's mouth, which made her unsure. Such ambiguous words were not something that the timid and shy Liberi would say.
On the other hand, Talia was prepared to return empty-handed.
Avdoka was very tight-lipped and no information could be obtained from her, but she couldn't just give up on Avdoka, so she could only think of an excuse to deal with it.
Yes, that's what she thought!
There was no Tallulah to advise her, it was all her own idea!
Is it effective...
It seemed a little beyond her expectations.
"Talia has a real mouth..."
After calming herself down, Afdoka changed her name back to the original one, which meant that her relationship with Talia had changed again.
Her investigation was complete, and Talia really had no ulterior motives in approaching her.
If Talia had been thinking anything, she would have climbed the steps the moment she moved her father out.
After all, there is a gap in status. Even if you, Avdoka, have a good relationship with me, the benefits you can bring to me are far less than those of your father.
I already have better channels, why should I play friend games with you here?
At most, it takes some time to maintain the relationship.
"Okay, okay~"
Sighing helplessly, Avdotka clapped her hands to draw Talia's attention.
"I do have what Talia needs, but..."
"Do you have enough chips?"
Licking her lips with her tongue, Afdoka looked at Talia as if she were looking at a defenseless rabbit.
Volume 3: Chapter 55: Tallulah's Identity
chips?
What chips?
Don’t you use money to buy things?
Shouldn't you be asking me if I have enough money?
Knowing nothing about the jargon among the Ursus nobles, Talia wisely chose not to answer the question and just smiled at Aphrodite.
Sometimes, not answering is also an answer!
A silent attitude means affirmation!
"I see from the group chat that Miss Taglia is prepared. But since that's the case, why don't you come over to my house tonight and get together? We can chat then, how about that?"
