Chapter 549: Father's "Story"
Michelle wasn't surprised by the reaction, and she didn't want to pay too much attention to their feelings. Then he turned to his trusted maid and said, "Go and bring in Young Master Golon." ”
"You can't do that!"
As soon as Michelle finished speaking, an elder stood up and shouted, "That little cub, he's Dominico's bastard child, and...... And a mongrel with filthy blood!"
Michelle didn't mean that anyone would jump out against it, but she also frowned deeply at the old man's vicious words, she took a breath, forcibly suppressed her anger, and said, "Dominico...... Though my foolish brother walks...... He acted a little ridiculously, and even more violated the laws of the empire and was banished, but he still had 'Huwen' in his name, and his child, whether you accept it or not, is my own nephew. ”
"But Michelle, although you were young when that incident happened, but now that you are sitting on the position of patriarch, then you should already know the secrets of the family, aren't you afraid that the appearance of this blood-stained bastard will anger that person again and make the situation worse......"
"I only know that in this situation, I will not give up any hope of saving my family, even if it is slim. ”
"But he must have a lot of hatred for our family......"
"I insist!"
"You're luring the wolf into the house......"
"In short, the situation is no worse than it is now......"
“……”
******
Goron sat in the living room, his eyes closed slightly, as if he was resting, and around him stood the knights of the Huwen family, as if protecting, more like watching.
But even if they stared intently at the little ogre, it was impossible to know that he was using all his strength to activate his second supernatural power at this time, and he could hear everything that was happening in the basement.
Goron's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his mind remembered the stories he had first heard, told to him by his own father, Viscount Dominico Huvin.
The demented father weaves his entire life into fragmented stories, telling it to his son, Golon, in a dreamlike self-talk.
Originally, these things were just simple stories that had nothing to do with him, no different from other stories he had heard. But at this moment, the little ogre matched his father's words with the messy quarrels in the basement, and with some reasoning and conjectures of his own, Goron finally understood something about his father.
It's just another traditional routine of fighting for power and profit within the family, but there are a few differences......
Golon's father is undoubtedly a scum, a waste, a bastard, a fool who doesn't learn anything, bullies the weak and fears the hard.
Just like the thousands of aristocratic young masters in the imperial capital.
However, these shortcomings are not a problem in the minds of some people, such as the previous patriarch of the Huwen family, Golon's great-grandfather, Viscount Charles Huwen.
This old patriarch, who has worked on the execution platform of the imperial capital for 70 years and has cut off hundreds of heads in his life, usually does not smile, and is cold to anyone and everything, but he loves and spoils his grandson in his later years.
The old fool is not only obedient to Dominico, but also willingly wipes his ass for this trouble-making grandson. His attitude towards him was completely different from that towards his other grandchildren, and it was even rumored that Dominiko was actually the youngest son of the old patriarch, but no one dared to really investigate and confirm this matter.
At that time, the Huwen family was far less powerful than it is now, and the name "Executioner Family" was not a capital that could be bragged about in the aristocratic circle. But despite this, the "viscount" title that can be inherited by hereditary inheritance has also made countless clansmen look through the autumn water, after all, there are thousands of nobles in the imperial capital, but there are not too many who really have hereditary titles.
But in front of the almost paranoid grandson maniac, the others didn't even have a chance at all, and the old patriarch Charles forcibly suppressed all opposition in the clan through a series of iron-fisted means before his death, although he passed the patriarch to his eldest son, Dominico's father Isaac Huwen, but passed the hereditary viscount title directly to his grandson Dominico.
In the old patriarch's mind, this was a guarantee that his beloved grandson would have the upper hand in the family's brutal battle for inheritance, although separating the title from the patriarch's position was dangerous, even absurd, and could easily cause a split in the family's rights.
But the current patriarch is, after all, Dominico's biological father, so this question does not seem to be a problem.
In fact, if it weren't for many scruples, old Charles would even want to skip the patriarchal position over his son who didn't like it very much, and pass it directly to the grandson who would please him and fall in love with him.
It's just that he has a very long life and a very strong desire for power, and he has been sitting on the position of patriarch for more than 60 years, but he has let the son who has been waiting for him to die to inherit the position of patriarch for more than 50 years.
Seeing that his son who was already gray-haired and had an old and sick face, even the paranoid and willful old Charles was a little unbearable. will finally make such a ridiculous arrangement.
Old Charles just walked away, leaving behind a seemingly "perfectly harmonious" mess.
After the death of Charles Sr., conflicts within the family suddenly erupted. The new patriarch has no title in his body, whether it is in social occasions outside or within the family, he is not only despised and ridiculed everywhere, but he also has no majesty and power within the family.
Not to mention that those people disobeyed his orders and instructions, and even lacked even the least respect. After all, everyone is an equal-ranking nobleman, and they all exist equally in the laws of the empire.
What made it even more difficult for the patriarch to accept was that because there was no hereditary title, Isaac, the patriarch and father, even bowed down when he saw his son.
Of course, if Isaac wanted to pass the patriarchate directly to his son, these problems could be solved, and this was what his father, Charles Sr., wanted to see the most. But Isaac was really unwilling, he waited for decades, seeing that he didn't have a few years to live, but he made a wedding dress for his son in vain.
If people encounter a dead knot that they can't figure out, they are prone to do something irrational and extremely crazy. Isaac is a prime example of this, and after being driven completely insane, he begins to prepare for his own crazy plan.
Isaac's most hated man is that his father is dead, and he is ready to take revenge on his own son.
At this time, Dominiko was unaware of it. He didn't care about the position of "patriarch" who was destined to fall on his head, and all his thoughts seemed to be spent on fighting with his peers in other families of equal status, on messing with flowers and insulting civilians. But what he really wants most is the half-brother, Amanda Huwen, who has a stunningly beautiful face.
Although Amanda Huwen is also Isaac's biological son, his mother is a lowly prostitute, so Amanda is almost the same status in the family as an ordinary servant. If it weren't for the protection of his younger brother, Dominico, who was able to cover the sky with one hand in the family, Amanda's rebellious appearance would have caused him a lot of trouble.
The relationship between the two brothers is very good, and Dominico hides his twisted love in the family affection, quietly enjoying every day with his beloved brother.
And all this fell into the eyes of Isaac, who was becoming more and more crazy, and a crazy plan gradually took shape.
It was not difficult to reconcile the ridiculous son who had spent all his thoughts on his brother, and on a beautiful evening, in the midst of a family drinking party, stimulated by spiced alcohol and a few words of incursion, Dominiko finally crossed the last red line, and he pounced on his brother like a mad beast in full view of everyone......
This kind of absurd thing is actually not a shocking news in the aristocratic circle, and it can generally be suppressed within the family.
Although it is inevitable that people will be ridiculed when they say it, the Huwen family at that time was only the bottom of the nobility after all, and they were not valued at all.
However, under the impetus of well-intentioned people, this absurd thing spread at an astonishing speed, until it reached the ears of His Majesty, who was also famous for his "absurdity". So the parties involved in this matter were summoned by the Emperor, and everyone knew about the rest of the matter, the Emperor Durontar fell in love with Amanda at first sight, the first beauty in the mainland, and even sent countless graces to his family, and the Huwen family has soared since then.
However, there is only one person who is the exception......
That is the great sinner who "shamelessly" took away the beloved "for the first time", Amanda's younger brother, Dominico Huvin.
Originally, with the emperor's murderous style, Dominiko was a dead end, but I don't know why, in the end, Dominiko's punishment was just to deprive him of his title and exile to the ends of the earth.
……
After some tidying up, this almost complete "story" has emerged in Golon's mind.
Although this story is logical and plausible, for some reason, Goron always feels as if he has overlooked something, and there are still some hidden mysteries in this story that have not been solved.
But to be honest, these experiences of his father are really just a "story" for the little ogre, as long as Goron knows that his father is still alive, he is already very satisfied, and he has no intention of paying attention to his father's so-called "grievances and hatreds".
Goron would follow the Huwen knights here, but he just wanted to see his father again, make sure he was safe, and then prepare to leave.
However, Goron used his second magic power to completely scan the entire Mandala Fort, but he did not find any trace of his father, which made him faintly feel uneasy in his heart, and secretly prayed in his heart that his broken father would not join in the fun, and also caused a lot of trouble for his son.
