還是跟以前一樣，不會打領帶呢！老人正要開口詢問是否需要幫忙時，巴特夫已經打上領帶。199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yS66HJQIr

「……小夫少爺、不，應該說是蘭基中將。」老管家出聲。自從在機場見到巴特夫後，他一直找不到話題開口。眼見即將抵達目的地，還要打理莊園雜事的他或許再也找不到機會跟這位 14 年不見的小少爺說說話。199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6OYbTJqm5

巴特夫和大葆士鮮少在媒體前露面。雖然不像已經不是本人的大葆士宣傳照那麼誇張，但巴特夫秀氣外貌對戰神殿公關部而言依舊不甚理想，對外宣傳照仍舊躲不過被調整的命運。199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR7pdK8jfC

「麻煩您了。」巴特夫點頭。他往老管家前進方向看去，只見有一小群被簇擁著的人在高聲闊論。199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyFyN6tcJk
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKa7MDL7LZ
