Chapter 55 Family Education
Diana, who was preparing to see the play, was sent back by Duke Redkin on the grounds that Professor Wolf had asked the students not to return late.
At this time, only Charles with a confused face and Duke Redkin were left in the living room who was pouring hot water into the teapot.
Duke Redkin suddenly asked Charles, "Where is your relationship with her?"
Charles said with a crying and laughing: "She and I are just friends. ”
"Come less. Duke Redkin "hehe" Charles' face, "At the beginning, Spike and Winnie were just friends who talked about the customs of the mainland, and in the end, Winnie didn't run away with Spike, otherwise how did you get here." ”
Charles decided not to comment on his parents, so he picked up the teapot and poured tea for his grandfather.
Duke Redkin, who picked up the teacup, continued to ask, "Have you ever held hands with her? Have you kissed her? Have you slept together in bed?"
"Grandpa!" Charles was about to cry, "I'm only eight years old!"
"Oh. "You know you're only eight years old so you can't do anything yet, and that means you know what you can do when you're eighteen, right?"
Charles decided to pass the test and looked at his grandfather with an innocent and dazed look.
"It's not a loss to someone who has fought all his life and is ready to become a king, this insight is strong enough. Charles thought.
Next, Duke Redkin told the story: "When I was seventeen years old, I was sent into the scouts. One day when we were out on patrol, we found a piece of apple peel in a meadow with signs of camping. I immediately sent someone to bring this piece of apple back with me, do you know why?"
Charles began to think. Apples are not a rare fruit, and wild apple trees are sometimes encountered in the wild. Donio had told him that apples could be used for stew.
Then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. According to the rules in the caravan, fruits in the wild are also forbidden to be eaten raw, so most of the fruits collected by the members of the escort team are used to make soup. Because the devil knows what parasites or eggs are on the surface or inside the fruit.
Of course, if you are not particular, you can also throw the whole fruit into the pot and cook it before eating. However, the taste of the apple peel after cooking is not very good. And after peeling the skin and then eating it, the only person who is so particular is the noble lord. The soldiers who used it as cattle at the bottom didn't care about the taste.
Charles, after recounting his reasoning, concluded: "Because this apple peel proves that there was once a noble man of great rank who stayed here." ”
"Not bad. Duke Redkin was pleased with Charles's answer, "Later we organized a crack squad to raid the Marquis who was inspecting the front line, and then captured him. Later, his family spent a large ransom to ransom him back. When he returned, he was nicknamed the 'Marquis of Appleskin', but he died of depression within two years. ”
"You are gifted with insight, but there will be many people in this world who are more perceptive than you. While you are peeping into other people's loopholes, others are also looking for your flaws. ”
"You have to keep in mind that the more powerful a person is, the more powerful he is, the more powerful he is. So when you're dealing with those people, you don't have to take them lightly. ”
Charles was humbly taught.
Then Duke Redkin continued: "Charles, your parents are gone, and I originally planned to take you over and let your grandmother educate you to be a good man. ”
"But now that you have chosen to learn from Princess Elizabeth and take revenge with your own strength, we respect your choice. ”
"However, there are some knowledge that the elf princess cannot teach you, and as your closest elder, I am obligated to pass on this knowledge to you. This knowledge is often imparted by the elders of the family, rather than by teachers or masters. ”
"What kind of knowledge?" Charles asked, confused.
Duke Redkin paused and said, "Knowledge about women." ”
Charles fell into a stupor.
Duke Redkin was unimpressed, and he asked, "Do you know why I said in front of Diana just now that you would be the fourth crown prince?"
Charles thought for a moment, but could only shake his head and say he didn't know.
So Duke Redkin said: "If you are going to choose your life partner for yourself, rather than waiting for a marriage with an exchange of interests to come to you, then you must recognize what kind of person your partner candidate is." ”
"Your current status is a nobleman, and Diana, although she may be the orphan of a nobleman, her current status is a commoner. In many aristocratic families, if you are combined, you will lose the face of the family. Enlightened families will sweep such couples out of the house, and stubborn families will make them disappear from this world. ”
"In the days that follow, you can carefully observe whether Diana's attitude towards you has changed. If she is very attentive to you, or if she treats you coldly and indulges you in chasing her, then you must resolutely leave her. If she doesn't change too deliberately, then you can continue to observe for a few more years, you are still young anyway. ”
"There are some things that I am not afraid to say to you. Princess Elizabeth's evaluation of you and Professor Wolfe's evaluation of Miss Diana have one thing in common, that is, you always keep your mind hidden from outsiders. Maybe you think you're hiding it well, but it's not a matter of minutes to see through who the two of them are. ”
"But it's normal, you've just experienced a disaster, and it's normal for your heart to change. ”
"I'm afraid that Miss Diana is the same. There are too many dirty things in the aristocracy, and she probably witnessed the upheaval of the family at a young age, so she subconsciously put on a mask and behaved, for fear that others would see something, and then encounter disaster again. ”
"The two of you are like hedgehogs with thorns, and if you get too close, you can easily hurt and be hurt by each other. ”
"If you really like her, have a showdown with her as soon as possible. What she needs, whether you can meet it, what you need, whether she can give, make these things clear. If you can both accept each other, then continue the relationship, don't worry about her identity, I will help you out. If you can't, then cut it off as soon as possible. ”
Charles listened to his grandfather's words in amazement, and the cold sweat behind his back was already soaking his shirt. The two of them thought they were hiding well, but in the end, they had already been seen through by others. Fortunately, others only know that they hide their minds, and they don't know what they are hiding.
Duke Redkin thought his grandson was frightened by his words, and he waved his hand, and a warm breeze rose from Charles's body, drying his shirt.
A person's conclusions about certain things are influenced by his three views and knowledge reserves.
Duke Redkin didn't know the true origin of his grandson and Diana, so he thought about it from the perspective of an aboriginal nobleman, and the conclusion he came to was naturally digressive.
But aside from the true identities of the two, Charles found that his grandfather's ideas were still in line with the core values of the feudal aristocracy.
In marriages between nobles, feelings are often secondary, and the exchange of interests is the main thing.
After all, the Maccaden family, which is not in the whirlpool, is an alternative among the aristocracy.
"One more important thing. Duke Redkin said to Charles, "You can't have sex until you're sixteen." It doesn't matter if the other party is male or female, human or slime. ”
"I'll ask Aubrey to warn the group of colored embryos in the caravan that they can't take you with them when they go to the flower building. ”
Charles doesn't remember the first time he was stunned by his grandfather's words tonight, what is the way to play with slime?
So he changed the subject: "Grandpa, so the fourth crown prince just now is just a cover." ”
Duke Redkin, who had just had a cup of tea, put down the teacup and asked, "You are my own grandson, what's so strange about you being the crown prince?"
Charles counted on his fingers and said, "But there are three uncles and six cousins in front of me, and even if I am qualified, I will be ranked tenth." ”
"It's simple. "Because you're smarter than your cousins." ”
"Huh?" Charles' answer was unexpected.
Duke Redkin pointed to the empty teacup, and the little grandson immediately poured him tea.
He continued: "The three conditions I have just made to the princess of Bischberg have been discussed in the family. ”
"In discussing the third clause of the marriage of the princess of Bischberg to us, your cousins and cousins are concerned about who will marry the delicate bride if Antoine II agrees. ”
"It's just you, and all of a sudden you thought of stabilizing the external environment. ”
"Huh?" Alex was shocked again, "No, I'm just a bystander, so I can only think of this." Cousins, they are all waiting for the bride to come over, so naturally the focus is different. ”
"I haven't reacted for two days, I can only say that they are all breeding pigs!" Duke Redkin hated his grandchildren a little, "Besides, when you reach the age where you can get married, I am already the king, and you are already the crown prince, so it is just right for her to marry you at that time." ”
"Wait!" Charles noticed the problem, "you mean to marry Linda to me?"
"If I don't marry you, do you really want me to divorce your grandmother and marry that little girl. Duke Redkin glanced at Charles, "Well, I'll write to your grandmother and say that you proposed this." ”
Cold sweat fell down Charles's head, he had seen his grandmother and Elizabeth when he was two years old!
Grandma is able to fight a tie with Elizabeth magic without destroying their back garden and without using magical items!
Duke Redkin snickered when he saw his grandson's embarrassed expression.
He continued, "There's nothing wrong with that little girl. She happens to be three years older than you, and a brave man from another world said, 'Female junior, hug gold bricks', which is just right." Your ancestors, the Great Sage Philip and Queen Victoria, had exactly a hundred gold bricks. ”
Many years later, Charles was forcibly invited by the elven queen to the tournament after learning that his grandfather had become king, and was forcibly invited to the tournament by the elven queen and beaten without feeling a trace of surprise.
