"It's going to be a ...... Good choice. ”

Opal pondered, "As far as I know, and my investigation, Nalongtail was born in the domain of Earl Ochre, yes, he is still the son of an earl, but unfortunately his mother is a commoner, so he is not a real Heyal. ”

His birth was a disgrace to the Hhyal family.

As a result, Nagao fled his hometown early and rarely used his real name.

This is a common Heyal scandal. Recently, however, the North seems to have acquiesced in the association between the great nobles and their commoner lovers. The Duke's mistress, whom Moshi had seen in the Red Sand Castle of the Firefinch, is a case in point.

Opal goes on to explain for Mostone:

"The master gave them off in marriage to those whom he trusted, in order to strengthen the stability and security of his land, and as a reward and promotion for his servants—not uncommon, though more often than in the case of half-heyars or khyars. It's a pity that Duna...... Maybe Longtail was born a little worse - sorry, but allow me to say that, after all, you know, Moshi, in the eyes of people other than you, they always take that into account. ”

Opal is right, Moshi really doesn't have a clear idea of this.

And it wasn't until Opal told him this that Mo Shi realized what Duna was hesitating, why Duna was unwilling to accept Longtail's pursuit calmly, why she tried to avoid suspicion - it had nothing to do with the relationship itself, but about her external identity.

Moser neglected this because he was preoccupied with thinking about the division between apostles and statesmen, and was trapped in his own moral contradictions. But it was also difficult for him to condemn himself, because he did feel that his own life was already difficult to bear.

So he fell silent.

Opal continued: "But I think it depends on what the long tail is going to do. He was a bright young man. He probably knows how wise it is to follow you. If that were the case, he would marry Duna. Then both of them will stay with you as your most trusted helper. ”

Realizing that Mo Shi's mind seemed to drift somewhere else, Opal stopped talking.

Opal focused his pupils to see him more clearly.

This confused apostle has something similar to eternity in him, and some very unstable factors.

"Are you in correspondence with Firesparrow?" he asked casually, hoping to keep the conversation going.

Mo Shi nodded.

In fact, Moshi learned a lot from Raven. When he left, the child he was pregnant with was a boy who died of illness less than a month after birth. Early infant death is common in this day and age, but Dino's grief does not have to be described in words.

Shekha and his wife had a girl last winter, their first child.

Princess Terina's pregnancy and miscarriage were repeated.

- A lot has happened in this year.

"By the way, just in case you ask," Opal coughed lightly, "and I want to tell you that I married last winter, the daughter of Viscount Kiori, who had a good relationship with the Zirconium family, and was of low status and had very little influence in the family, so after weighing it, I was sure that marrying her would not have any effect on you, or us." ”

"What?"

"That's what I thought. Opal explains, "Given that you don't understand a lot of everyday matters, I'm afraid you don't understand the necessity and rationality of marriage either." And I'm just an ordinary person. ”

"No, no, no, what I want to say is that you didn't even tell me about such a big thing, what the hell were you thinking when you tied the letter to the raven's leg?

“...... Yes, definitely. The castle belongs to you, but my wife is only about me. ”

Opal's expression was calm, but Mo Shi could see that Opal was not unaware of the meaning of his questioning.

"That's really reasonable, and I can't refute it. Mo Shi spread his hands, he usually spoke without thinking in front of the opal, "I didn't know that friends should be so strange. ”

"I just don't think you're going to be interested. ”

"Why do you say that?" Mo Shi frowned.

"You ......," Opal paused, and said hesitantly, "Mo Shi, you don't have a good parenting reaction at all, do you? We have known each other for a long time, you have never been closed for a long time, and I have never smelled the smell of good parenting. ”

Yes.

Truly.

Mo Shi does not have an estrus period at all. In other words, even if humans are theoretically in a state of preparing for pregnancy (estrus) all year round, given that Mo Shi is already a psychopath, he really will not be in heat.

Different from others in the group, different from others.

This sense of fear came suddenly again, confusing Mo Shi's thoughts.

Mo Shi snorted: "But that doesn't mean I don't ......"

Opal is a true Heyal who is far more proficient in social relations than Moshi, an aristocratic man who is based on interpersonal relationships, and a snowwalker born out of the snowwalker culture itself.

But Opal looked a little shaken at this time, and it seemed very studentlike.

"I think that God may have rid you of your lust by making you His apostle, and that being the case confirms the 'abstinence purification doctrine' – God has us married in order to multiply His elect, but if we indulge in love, we are tempted by demons. ”

"Honestly?"

"Of course. ”

"I'm not a proponent of abstinence purification. Moser points this out, "Although overindulgence is certainly a personality defect, it is not a sin to enjoy and accept desires." ”

Mo Shi was surprised that their topic had returned to theoretical discussion, and when the topic returned to here, the two young men of the academic school finally felt a sense of peace and security.

Overall, the conversation gave the two men varying degrees of comfort.

Moshi was affirmed and recognized, and he felt that he had returned to his own stability.

-

The next day, Moshi met Opal's wife at the dinner table. It was a quiet blonde Bea woman, very traditional and very quiet, who never spoke at the dinner table, and only answered with a short response of no more than three sentences when asked.

Moshi didn't get a chance to learn more about her.

And Opal is clearly pleased with her transparency. Or maybe he's proud of it. For her silence testifies to what he said to Moshi: his wife will not affect him in any way.

This is certainly not a marriage as Mo Shi understands it.

But perhaps in this medieval kingdom of snowwalkers, such marriages were normal and respected, at least in the realm of high society and theology, where they approved of such marital relationships.

Mo Shi stayed in the so-called Qingyin Castle until the end of the rainy season, and then got up and headed for the royal city.

The royal city was a more familiar place for him, and the human connection was more close.

Dino Firebird and Princess Zelota, Sheka Hawthorn and his wife, the two princes who had taught the lessons, the two queens, now Lady Dia, and even Levi Fei, a retainer from the House of Crows...... All kinds of familiarity.

Mo Shi was not an unknown figure in the court now, and it was obvious that when he returned to the court, he would be greeted by a lot of social work.

However, it is still pleasant to meet friends who have not seen each other for more than a year.

Moshi went to the Firefinch's mansion to visit Dino and Princess Gelota, as well as Sheka Hawthorn and his family.
