Chapter 52 Visitor (Ask for Subscription ~ Ask for Monthly Pass ~)
Dinner runs late into the night.
Several of the cooks were so tired that they could barely stand by someone holding them up.
Everyone has a look of doubt on their faces.
What they can eat, as chefs, they have seen it themselves.
Lady Gerald is very good at eating, and has more than 3 times the amount of food that ordinary people.
That lady has the appetite of an average strong man, which is also admirable.
But compared to Jason.
The two are really nothing.
It's like a bottomless pit, and if anything goes in, you can't see the slightest change in your lower abdomen.
In the beginning, the chefs were still looking for finesse, and the meat was grilled in pieces.
Later, it has become a whole sheep roasted whole sheep.
But even so, the speed of roasting can't keep up with the speed at which Jason eats, and since he has the passive talent of tooth strengthening, the days of not having to spit out bones are too good.
Crunchy.
The meat is crispy.
Tendons and mouths.
The pith is soft and tender.
Jason, who was a little carried away for a while, completely let go of himself.
It wasn't until I felt a little full in my stomach that I stopped.
Faced with the horror of the chefs.
Gerald's surprise.
Denise's envy.
Jason coughed lightly.
"Dinner, five minutes full."
Jason said modestly.
In fact, he was only a little full.
Gerald is thinking about whether the property he left to his cousin is not enough, according to Jason's food consumption, if he doesn't manage it properly, I'm afraid he will be poor in less than three years.
"I envy you who can eat and are not fat."
"What's the secret?"
"Tell me, don't tell anyone else."
Denise whispered as she reached out her paw to tug at Jason's sleeve, but Jason dodged it in disgust.
"Go wipe your hands."
Jason said.
"Okay."
Denise agreed, but snorted with the grease on her fingers, and then, forgetting that she had just asked Jason for her secret, she took out the snail in her skirt and walked towards the house.
"I'm full~"
"Little snail ~ what do you want to eat ~"
Looking at Denise's heartless figure, Gerald stood up with a smile.
It was late at night and he needed to get back to 111 Delen Street.
Not a break, of course.
There are a few things he still needs to deal with.
A moment before dawn was his time to rest.
"See you tomorrow morning at seven o'clock on the beach."
"I will systematically teach you the swordsmanship, fighting and archery of the griffon school."
Gerald said.
"Hmm."
Jason nodded, staring at Gerald's departing back.
The attendants and servants around him saluted Jason and left.
In an instant, the lively holiday cottage fell silent.
There's nothing Jason isn't used to.
He began to make his rounds around the cottage, and although he was sure that Gerald had arranged the most reliable guards, there were some habits that Jason couldn't change.
After making two rounds and making sure there were no problems, Jason was ready to return to the room and advance to the 'Night Watchman'.
At this time, the sound of the soles of his boots on the gravel road was heard in his ears.
Stomp and tread.
The other party did not hide the idea of hiding it at all.
Come in the open.
Son of Grand Duke 'Swallow Castle', Barney. Carat.
The other party knocked on the trunk of the coconut tree next to the cottage as if knocking on the door.
Bang Bang Bang!
The voice was dull, but it was enough to catch the attention of someone with normal hearing, let alone Jason.
As early as the moment the footsteps came, Jason was looking at the son of the Grand Duke.
Looking at the other party who appeared, Jason was a little surprised.
But then he thought of the situation when he returned earlier, and the other party appeared on the steps of 111 Delen Street.
"Sure enough!"
"It's not just a coincidence!"
Even with Gerald's explanation, Jason was vigilant at this time.
"Good evening, Excellency Jason."
The son of the Grand Duke greeted him very politely.
There is a world of difference from the sense of rebelliousness when we met before.
Jason nodded in response.
The gaze is indifferent to each other.
Such an attitude made the son of the Grand Duke smile bitterly.
"I'm sorry I made a bad impression on you."
"That's to save my sister, I had to choose."
"I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble."
As he spoke, the son of the Grand Duke bowed slightly.
Whether it's true or not, it's easy to get a good impression of it.
But Jason took a step to the side, dodging the other party's salute, and the vigilance in his eyes was even more than before.
Because he clearly remembers the saying in his hometown, 'Nothing is done.' It's either a traitor or a thief'!
In fact, the same is true.
After seeing Jason's dodge, the smile on the face of the Grand Duke's son froze slightly, and then, again, he smiled bitterly.
Then the son of the Grand Duke decided not to go around in circles any more.
"My sister really likes Master Gerald."
"So, I hope you'll be able to help me with a word."
"No."
Jason simply refused.
Although I don't know what the words are, Jason thinks that it is better for the other party to say such words directly to Gerald.
Once he intervenes, it will definitely affect Gerrard's subjective judgment.
Jason absolutely didn't want to see such a thing happen.
But the son of the Grand Duke did not give up, and said in an almost pleading tone.
"Just a word!"
"I will give you a fair amount of money......"
"No."
Jason refuses again.
And, pointing outward.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
However, to Jason's surprise, the son of the Grand Duke, who had been rejected twice, was not angry at all, let alone angry, but looked relieved.
Call!
He exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and a smile appeared on the face of the Grand Duke's son again.
"Thank you."
He thanked Jason again.
Looking at Jason's puzzled gaze, the son of the Grand Duke said softly:
"Carol, the only girl in our family, is my favorite sister."
"I don't want her to marry Master Gerald."
"It's not that Lord Gerald isn't good enough, it's that Lord Gerald isn't suitable for marriage."
When he said these words again, the face of the son of the Grand Duke was full of tenderness, and his eyes were full of love.
Then, there is the slightest sorrow.
The son of the Grand Duke continued:
"Carol is so young that she doesn't know what kind of husband she should find."
"She admires the heroic Gerald, but she never knew that a hero is definitely not a suitable husband, let alone a good father to his children."
"So, I'm against this marriage."
"But there are some things that I can't stop."
Speaking of which, Barney. Carat all kinds of hammered coconut trees.
The whole coconut tree swayed from side to side at once.
His voice rose a point.
"Father's decision, I can't stop it."
"And in the face of Carol's plea just now, I won't refuse."
"I'll do my best to fulfill her request."
"Even if ...... I don't want to. โ
"Luckily!"
"Good thing you refused!"
"So, I thank you!"
"As a thank you, I'll tell you a secretโ"
A smile appeared on the face of the Grand Duke's face again, and he looked at Jason, and after his voice was unconsciously elongated, he said:
"The 'Cursed Child' statement...... It's true! โ
