Chapter 44: The Duties of the Nobles
Lowell and the others said goodbye and left, and Shirina left the study with them, her face was no longer sad and lonely, with a smile like a flower, she jumped lightly from time to time, and muttered whispered words in her mouth, if you listened carefully, you could find that what she muttered was exactly what she said in the study, and she was still very satisfied with her performance just now!
Siricorn said goodbye to Rowell and Will, looked at Shirina's happy face, and walked towards her.
Shirina stumbled upon Uncle Sirigon's approach to her, and quickly quieted down, although she seemed bold in the study, but now he was a little apprehensive when he saw Uncle Sirigon's eyes looking at him. This uncle, who has watched him grow up, is no less strict with himself than his father.
Sirigon's face eased when he walked up to Shirina and looked at Shirina who didn't dare to look at him with her head down, although she didn't listen to her and talked nonsense, but fortunately she didn't say the wrong thing. And what surprised him was when Shirina had this ability, he watched Shirina grow up, she was much more naughty than other boys when she was a child, and she was taught the most by the earl.
"You did it impulsively today, you know, Shirina!" Siricorn looked at Shirina and said, "But it's good that you didn't say anything wrong, and you helped the Baron solve a problem, but next time I want you to let me know in advance when you do something." After all, I am your uncle, and I am the only one who can help you here, although I may not be able to help much, but I will definitely protect you for the Earl. ”
"Hmm...."Shirina nodded obediently.
Sirigons sighed, the once powerful and glorious Renault family had fallen to this point, which made him feel very sad for the old man who had grown up in the family.
"Take me to your room, Shirina." Siricorn said, "I have something to talk to you about. He sighed and said, it seemed like a very important thing.
"Yes, Uncle Sirigon." Shirina nodded, and led Sirigon, toward her room. At this time, the study door behind him slowly opened again, and Qin Feng stood at the door of the study and looked at the two people who disappeared on the stairs, frowning slightly. After all, although Sirigon temporarily obeyed his orders, he was still loyal to the Renault family, so Qin Feng's trust in him was still not as good as that of Lowell or Hank.
But who knew that Sirigon's orders to him were really carried out? Qin Feng sighed and closed the door.
Shirina took Siricorn to her residence, thinking that Siricorn didn't want to come here, after all, this was Cirena's room, even if he was Shirena's uncle, he shouldn't have come here. But in Bull Town, the only secret place is left here, and the other places are likely to have the Baron's eyeliner, even if the Baron will not inquire, but the people below will tell the above when they know this.
And it really can't be known to the baron so early.
Siricorn looked at Shirina's room, this room was not too big, and it seemed to be about the same as his room in the original Earl's Palace, about 30 square meters. The walls of the boulder were hung with brightly colored flowers or pictures, and on one side of the house was a large bed, with a soft goose down quilt piled up at the foot of the bed, and clothes piled up on the bed. Siricorn retracted his gaze and looked at Shirina.
Shirina's face has always been bad, on the one hand, she is worried that Uncle Sirigan will reprimand her for making decisions on her own, and on the other hand, she feels embarrassed, she just forgot that she didn't let the maid clean up the room today and ran out, but she didn't expect to be seen by Uncle Sirigon.
Siricorn turned around and walked slowly to the window, looking out the window at the heavy snow, Shirena's room was on the third floor of the Baron's Palace, from here you could see everything in Boole Town, Sirigon's eyes narrowed, looking at the soldiers standing on duty in the wind and snow on the city wall in the distance, with their backs to Cilina.
"Uncle, is there anything wrong with you?" Shirina asked suspiciously, as she made the bed. Uncle Sirigon doesn't come to his room for no reason, only big things are possible.
"Shirina, do you think the snow is heavier in Boole Town or the snow is heavier in Ice Castle?" Sirigang said. It had been snowing for a long time, and the whole town had been almost overwhelmed, and there was no life in sight except for the chimneys that were constantly smoking.
"Ice Castle, of course." Shirina replied, "Ice Castle is in the cold all year round, and Bulltown certainly can't match it. She didn't know why Uncle Sirigon was asking this.
"Do you think it's better to stay in Bull or go back to Ice Castle?" Sirigons said.
"...."Shirina seemed to understand the meaning of Sirigon's words, she quieted down and looked at Uncle Cirigon's generous back, "Is my father asking me to stay here?" Uncle Sirigon? She asked.
Siricorn turned, pulled a bundle of cloth from inside his coat, and tossed it to Shirina. "This is the Earl's letter, and he does not want you to go back, and agrees with me."
This is her father's handwriting, Shirina opened the strip of cloth and recognized it at a glance, she glanced at it, her body was stunned, she looked at Ciricorn in disbelief, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this true?" In fact, she had already determined in her heart that this was indeed true, and her father's handwriting on the strip of cloth was the best proof of this.
Siricorn nodded, "That's what I meant, and that's what the Count meant." Now in the Northlands, only the town of Bull is the best place to go, and the nobles in the south have a deep grudge against the Renault family, even your grandfather's Kari family, who have betrayed the Renault family. Our Renault family has no allies at this point, and the Cold Iron Castle won't last long. Siricorn looked at Shirina and felt a little unbearable, but this is the responsibility of every noblewoman: "So my decision with Lord Count is the best for you, even if you don't want to. ”
"For you, it's the best choice for me to marry the Rheinryth family?" Shirina didn't yell in excitement, she wasn't a girl who stupidly thought that yelling would solve everything, she looked at Cirigan quietly and asked.
"It's really the best choice, although the Rheinreth family is not strong, they have the best leaders and a group of good executors. This is the foundation of a strong family, and the Earl and I both believe that given a little time, the Rhinereth family will definitely become one of the best families in the Empire. Siricorn patted Shirina on the shoulder, "I know this may be a little difficult for you to accept, but even if you don't marry a baron, you will marry another count or baron." As the Count's daughter, you were born to enjoy wealth that no one else can enjoy, but you also have the responsibilities that come with your status. It's not just for you, it's for your family. ”
"Can you give me a moment? Uncle Sirigon. Shirina whispered.
"Hmm...," Sirigas nodded, and said again as he walked to the door, "The old butler of the Rheinreth has also agreed, and I hope you will think it through sooner." ”
"So it's just me and him who don't know?" The door was closed, and Shirina lay on the bed dejectedly, feeling the cold wind blowing on her face, and smiled self-deprecatingly, but she didn't expect that it was indeed the two of them who were hidden in her bones in the end.
In fact, the housekeeper mentioned this matter in front of Qin Feng, but he was dragged down by Qin Feng, which Xilina didn't know.
