穿著海藍軍裝，留有一頭酒紅長髮的女子坐在黑檀木製的大桌前，此刻正惡狠狠的瞪著站在窗邊，背對她的老人。195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBQzIFR0rS

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。195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4HykQ4gzq

「……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。195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJDuZUyLhL

今天是世界前五大建設公司──「蘭星集團」成立 80 周年的紀念日。集團現任總裁──麥考夫 ‧ 蘭基廣發邀請函給熟識官員、合夥人和部屬，讓大家一同見證集團的光輝。195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd4rgRAYtd

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。195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ75MaM8MV
