"Smack!" The teacup was shattered, the purple tea in the cup splashed on the ground, and the tea leaves on the ground that were still faintly smoking were telling their innocence like tear spots. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Count Yadris didn't pay attention to the debris on the ground, I don't know if the smell of tea in the room suppressed the anger in the earl's heart, and the anger like an imminent volcanic eruption did not erupt! The old man just sat quietly, his eyes unfocused on the verdant greenery of the garden outside the window.

The giant escaped again, and also fled into the Lost Mountains. This is the news that the Chief Consul, Lord Count Ardris, has just received. A big net that he carefully weaved with great effort, even regardless of the safety of the country, had already succeeded in netting this "big fish".

Everything was as he expected, after unleashing the power of the entire Meniah Empire. It was easy to find the traces of the giant hiding outside the outskirts of the imperial capital Acropolis Mias, the giant was so small in front of the state machine, the giant was so fragile in front of the magic weapon, and the stupid giant fell to his death, such a good opportunity let him escape!

Every time he thought of this, the Earl felt that there was nowhere to vent the monstrous anger in his heart, this anger could no longer disappear by smashing a few Desik porcelain, someone had to pay enough for it! Although he looked like he was in a trance, the Earl cursed viciously in his heart.

While the Earl was still in a daze, a timid servant walked in gently. Looking at the porcelain cup with broken bones, the servant knelt down with a "plop", and his voice was trembling with a hint of "old. Sir, Lord Aldrich is back! ”

The imaginary anger did not befall the frightened servant, who had the audacity to quietly look up. The Earl still sat quietly on the chair by the window and looked at the garden, thinking that the Earl had not heard his words, and the servant who was crying bitterly in his heart was about to make a sound, when there was a sound of "duh~duh~~~" from outside the door.

With this rhythmic voice, a burly but emaciated middle-aged man, General Aldrich, appeared at the door. The original blond flowing hair was now messily entangled, the originally handsome and resolute face was full of haggard and stubble, and he limped in with a cane in his right hand.

General Aldrich, who had entered the room, glanced at his servant, who was still kneeling on the ground, staring at his servant, his stubble chin raised in the direction of the gate. After the servant breathed a sigh of relief, he stood up, saluted General Aldrich with gratitude on his face, and withdrew.

After watching the door being gently closed by the servant who had exited. Aldrich found a comfortable chair and sat down, picked up the crutches, and gently tapped and massaged his already sore right leg with the crutches while looking at his old father. Neither father nor son had any intention of speaking first, and the room was quiet except for the slight fluttering sound of a cane hitting his right leg.

I don't know how long it took, but after a sigh, Lord Adriss finally broke the silence first.

"You... Got it? There was a hint of hoarseness in the old man's voice.

"yes, got it!" As inexplicable as the inexplicable question.

"Did you come back to see my joke?" The Earl's voice suddenly rose a little. The Earl, who was waiting for his son to nod his head and was ready to be furious, was waiting for his son to shake his head with a wry smile.

"Father, you're old!" Looking at his son, who did not play according to the previous routine, the Earl was stunned. "It's been so long, you're a lot older than before." Aldrich, who thought his father had misunderstood, added.

Count Adris found that his son had changed, and his former sharpness was revealed, and he disappeared without flinching, replaced by a sense of mature vicissitudes. But the sadness and decadence in his eyes could not be concealed from the Earl, who was his father.

"Legs, are you okay?" There were also some who were not very comfortable with their son's transformation, and the Earl's concern seemed a little stiff, but the look of concern in his eyes could be understood even by an idiot. Hearing his father's question, Aldrich smiled and patted his right leg gently, "Okay, except that it is a little shorter than the left leg, it is no different from before!" ”

The nonchalant answer made the Earl suddenly very angry, what does it mean that there is no difference? Didn't he know that he had become a joke in the entire aristocratic circle of the imperial capital? Doesn't he know that everyone else calls him "Cripple General" behind his back?

And from today onwards, he will also become another joke talking point for those nobles who have nothing to do as long as they are full! Well, now the father and son have become the best jokes in the imperial capital!

There was a brief silence in the room again, and the awkward atmosphere grew heavier.

"I know they're all laughing at me behind my back, and I know they call me the lame general. But so what? I'm still the general of the Rat Cavalry, and you're the chief consul of the Empire! Even if.. Seeing that his father was silent, Aldrich was also a little angry.

The Earl suddenly waved his hand to stop his son from continuing. "I know what you want to say, even if your leg is lame, it doesn't mean that you can't lead troops to fight, it doesn't mean that you can't be a general, right?"

General Aldrich didn't wonder why the old man in front of him knew what he thought, but he didn't mean to stop at all. He got up from his chair and shouted excitedly, "Father! You can't ignore the safety of the empire because of me! ”

His son finally matured, looking at his son in front of him, although he was still sad, but the decadent eyes were swept away, the face that was red because of excitement instantly infected the earl, and the anger that had accumulated in his heart suddenly disappeared, and the originally gloomy face that was even wrinkled together finally showed a smile of relief.

Half an hour later, the door opened. General Aldrich reappeared at the gate.

"Wait, remember to bring them back for the New Year this year! I miss Al! The voice of the Earl came from the room.

Aldrich's back stiffened, and after hesitating, he finally turned around and nodded to his gray-haired father, his father still couldn't let go of his grandson in the end! Aldrich, who sighed, limped out of the Earl's Court.

The servants looked at each other, and just now they clearly felt a hint of joy in the words of the Earl? Glad?

Some people couldn't help but pinch their companions around them. "Ah~ why are you pinching me?" Although the pinched servant did not dare to cry out in pain, he could not help but seek justice for himself.

"I want to see if I'm dreaming!" ...
