"Brando, let your father sue you for these things," Windsor touched the shallow scar on her son's cheek - this scar was still left during the wolf disaster, although it was not obvious, but it still made her heart ache, "There are some things in our family, and it is time to sue you." But now, tell me about what has happened these days, you must have suffered a lot outside. ”

"It's nothing, but Mom, you don't want me to stand here and talk about it."

"Look, I'm old and confused."

"You are not old, you are a famous beauty here, more beautiful than the eternal goddess Elaine, from Sylman to Buch, from Manowell to Fort Kurk, I don't know how many people envy the old man."

Windsor laughed, and Freya and Antitina laughed, they had never seen their lord like this. The mistress of the manor took the two little girls by the hand and led them into the house, a living room, furnished in a compact and warm manner, like the usual style of a country house in this area, with a fireplace, a flower stand on the wall, a pot of spider plants hanging from the house, next to the kitchen, and against the wall placed a low wooden cabinet full of porcelain jars, and in the center of the living room there was a sofa and a coffee table, on which fragrant snacks of all colors were prepared and steaming, all of which were produced by the mill.

Brando remembers his mother's handiwork, and Antitina and Freya praise them, but both of them are so urbane that they are too embarrassed to eat them after tasting a few pieces.

Brando then began to tell his mother about his experiences over the years, and he was not good at telling stories, but he was also very coherent. When he talked about how he escaped from Riedenberg, Windsor looked happy and said with some concern: "Your father and I heard that it was a mercenary who escaped from Richenberg with the refugees, but I didn't expect you to be in there. Why didn't you come to us directly, and your father was angry about it. ”

"I want to," Brando's face flushed, "but you know, I'm in trouble with All Things Come Together, and I'm worried about revealing my identity." I was also worried about causing trouble to my family, so I had to choose not to go home. ”

"Poor boy."

"Aunt Windsor, I can also testify for Brando, he provoked those hateful cultists to save me, and blamed me for being too good at asserting at that time, please help Brando explain it to Uncle Scott, don't blame Brando." Freya mustered up the courage to interject quietly at this time.

Windsor glanced at her with a smile: "Silly boy, I don't blame you or Brando for this. Our old man is just sulking with himself, he is so stubborn, just wait for a while. Freya, Antitina, if you don't dislike it, call me Mama Windsor, and this will be your home from now on. ”

Antitina and Freya only felt their cheeks burn when they heard this, and they could still scream. But their hearts are warm, and Freya is fine. The aristocratic daughter lowered her eyelids and almost burst into tears.

Brando didn't know what his mother was thinking, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Mom, there's a lot going on in the back." ”

"Oh?" Windsor was really attracted to the attention: "By the way, what about after that, where did you go?" ”

"After that, in order to settle the refugees. I went to Tony Gel. ”

"Toniger, I seem to have heard of this place, by the way, there seems to be a great person there, called Count Toniger. I've heard that he made the Cruz people suffer in Ampesel. Recently, even Mardala was defeated at his hands, and he helped Her Royal Highness defeat Jean Denel's army, presumably he will soon be renamed Count Jean Denel. ”

Brando knows that his mother has always been more knowledgeable, otherwise where does the country woman know what makes Denel and Tonigel, let alone see the relationship, Brando used to attribute this to his mother's aristocratic background, but now it seems that where can the average small aristocratic family cultivate such a daughter, in terms of grandfather, his mother's background may not be too small.

However, he was a little surprised that his mother didn't seem to know who Count Toniger was, didn't Bunid tell them?

"Mom, you really don't know who Count Jean Denel is?"

"How do I know who that Lord Earl is, silly boy, I only learned about it by hearing rumors from the city."

"Huh?"

This cry of surprise was not from Brando, but from Antitina, and the staff lady and her lord looked at each other, and couldn't help but look at each other. It seems that the Highland Knight really didn't tell his family, what happened during this time, so what did they look for him in such a hurry? For a moment, Brando couldn't help but become more and more confused, and wondered what kind of medicine was in the gourd of the strange knights on the Karasu Heights.

"Brando, do you know that Count Toniger?"

Brando nodded, and was about to speak, when he saw Dwayne come out of the inner room and say to him, "Brando, Mr. Scott, he let you pass." ”

Brando closed his mouth and glanced at his mother, Windsor nodded at him: "Go, Brando, go and let your father see you, don't look at him like this, there is not a day these days that he doesn't worry about you, in order to find you, he even entrusted those past relationships." Originally, your grandfather ...... Hey, forget it, go ahead, your father will sue you. ”

Brando also nodded, he originally wanted to take Antitina with him, but after thinking about it, this was to see his father, and taking Antitina with him seemed a little too ambiguous; He subconsciously looked at the staff lady, Antitina and he had a heart-to-heart, and immediately understood what his lord was thinking, and hurriedly replied, "I'll stay with Aunt Windsor." ”

"Call Mommy." Windsor corrected.

Antitina blushed and called something in a voice like a mosquito, which she might not have heard clearly, but Windsor smiled, "Go," she said, "Go, Brando, and let your father take a good look at you, you are a man now." ”

Brando then got up and walked into the back room with Dawn. They passed through a room and came to the courtyard at the back of the manor, where he saw his father standing under an oak tree, and beside him there was a man whom Brando recognized as the Grand Master of the Highlanders, Bunid, but he saw a maiden not far from them. As soon as he saw the other man, he stood there as if he had been petrified.

The maiden evidently had noticed him as well, and she turned her head sideways to examine him carefully; The girl stood there, dressed in a long silver dress, with pointed ears piercing the silver hair, which set off the soft face, but the look in her eyes was as calm as a dream: "Brandoqing, long time no see." ”

"Gong ...... Her Royal Highness the Princess? ”

Brando thought about all sorts of possibilities. But he never dreamed that it would be Princess Griffiin who would end up in front of him.

How did Her Royal Highness the Princess appear here? Brando felt as if he had been slapped on the head, his mind went blank for a moment, and he lost the ability to think. The visit of the Highland Knights was not unexpected, his grandfather was Darus, and his mother was the aristocratic daughter of Cardirego, all kinds of indications suggest that he may have been born into the family of the Highland Knights. But the Highland Knights were independent of Eruin's political system. They have always maintained a transcendent status, and they and Her Royal Highness the Princess. When did they come together again with the royal family?

Brando looked at Bunid, then at Her Royal Highness, and then at her father, and for a moment his mind was a little short-circuited.

This was completely beyond his comprehension.

Brando subconsciously looked at his father, wanting to get a reasonable answer from the old man. But old Scott was wiping a two-handed broadsword, and his movements were meticulous. Silently polished the blade of the sword, then raised his head and looked at Brando: "I just heard that you have been through a lot in the past year and a half. Princess, she also named you an earl, and your swordsmanship has also grown greatly? ”

Bunid smiled: "Scott, your son is not what it used to be, and even I may not be his opponent now." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Scott's eyes, and he looked at his son with a straight face, when Brando ran to the countryside of Buchi, because he couldn't endure the hardships of militia training, he knew that his son was quite talented in swordsmanship, but he was loose by nature, for which he lost his temper. It's just that before his father died, his father had always taught Brando, and the old man also forbade other people in the manor to show that he knew swordsmanship, so he couldn't intervene, and not long after his father's death, this guy who had no one to control fled to Buch.

He could never have imagined that so many things would happen that he didn't even know that his son was still alive until Buned's arrival.

Scott looked at the sword in his hand, it was his old buddy, he had carefully treasured it for nearly twenty years, and today was the first time it had been rediscovered. He raised his sword, gestured, and looked at Brando.

"What the hell is going on, old man?" Brando is getting more and more confused.

"You want to know, after my level, I will naturally sue you," Scott raised his sword and assumed a defensive posture: "If you want to inherit something, you must first have that qualification, otherwise I'd rather you stay mediocre, come on." ”

Brando knew at a glance that this was Eruin's military swordsmanship, but it was just a two-handed swordsmanship routine. To be honest, his father's strength also tends to be above the gold realm, and Eruin is also considered to be the number one player in the ranks, but at the moment he is full of flaws in his eyes. "The old man is still far behind his grandfather." Brando thought to himself, but there was an embarrassed look on his face: "Old man, forget it." ”

He was not afraid, but worried that if he made two or three moves to make the old man unable to get off the stage; What's more, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Bunid are still here, with the old man's stubborn temperament, if the old man really loses face, his good days may come to an end.

"Mr. Scott, let me do it." Griffiin said suddenly.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess, you—?" Scott was stunned.

"Scott, let Her Highness the Princess try it," Bunid said with a slight smile.

Scott hesitated for a moment, he glanced at his son, then at the princess, and nodded: "Then please Your Royal Highness the princess must pay attention to safety." ”

Brando kept an eye on Bunid's face, and the guy was smiling like an old fox, and he didn't know what the hell he was thinking. Griffiin took the sword from his hand, and with his skirt in one hand, he came to Brando. "Lord Earl, in swordsmanship. You are Haruzer's teacher, and you are my teacher," she raised her sword and saluted Brando, "Teacher, please advise. ”

The half-elf princess bowed slightly, and she wore a long dress. But he is holding a long sword, like a lily blooming in the afternoon sun, which is heart-pounding. But when she stood up again, she had a straight face, and the momentum on her body changed, as if she was no longer the eldest princess of the Eruin Kingdom, but a female knight standing in the depths. She looked at Brando with silver eyes, and only Brando's figure remained in her eyes, tugging at her skirt with one hand. Take a step forward and stab Brando with a sword in one hand.

The sword light of that sword shone in the dappled sunlight through the leaves, like a bunch of stretched flower leaves.

When Scott saw this sword, he couldn't help but nod secretly, Her Royal Highness the Princess's sword was not a show, and it showed quite solid basic skills. He couldn't help but look at Brando, at the level of his son's past. Even if there are ten, they won't be able to take this sword.

But Brando was unhurried. He stepped back, gave way to the edge of the princess's sword, and then struck lightly with the sheathed sword of the earth, and Griffiin's sword was deflected somewhere. Her Royal Highness the Princess returned in vain, her face was a little flushed, and she looked at him with a little surprise. Although she knew that this Count Toniger was excellent in swordsmanship, she didn't expect to be able to defuse her attack so lightly.

She could feel that Brando didn't use any strength, not even a few points faster than the average person, and was just using skills to fight her swordsmanship.

Scott frowned. Brando's hand was more famous in the eyes of him, a knight who had been on the battlefield, and it contained not only swordsmanship, but combat experience, and only a seasoned person would dare to face the blade of the sword that someone else stabbed directly at him so lightly. He couldn't help but look at his son suspiciously, Bunid hadn't told him about Brando's great deeds, but he also guessed a few points at the moment, thinking that his son might indeed have an extraordinary chance outside this time.

Her Royal Highness the princess couldn't make a sword, so she immediately put away her sword and sank down, and slashed at Brando's waist with a backhand, and the blade drew a silver arc with her figure, but what was even more beautiful was the dancing long skirt, which made Brando stunned. The slash is different from the thorn, this sword he can no longer dodge, so he has to use the sheathed sword of the earth to press down the sword of Her Royal Highness the princess, and then take a step forward and get stuck on the route of Griffiin's attack, Her Royal Highness the princess only felt the sword sinking, and the next moment Brando's figure was in front of her, she wanted to withdraw the sword, but it was too late, her hand was tight, and the sword had fallen to the ground with a clang.

Griffy's sword is one of the more famous moves in the white crow swordsmanship, wings whirl, Brando is too familiar with the trick, he almost saw this move and subconsciously used the best set of responses, but when he used the scabbard with one hand to card the neck of His Royal Highness the princess, and the other hand tightly held the opponent's wrist, almost letting the princess's entire back stick to his chest, he was shocked to realize what kind of stupid thing he had done, and he was stunned for a while.

It's over!

There was only one thought in Brando's mind at that moment.

Not only him, but even Scott was shocked, he never knew that his son was so bold, not only defeated Her Royal Highness the princess mercilessly, but also openly took advantage of Her Royal Highness. Martha is on top, Scott only feels that the biggest mistake in his life is not teaching Brando what is called gentlemanly manners, but he suddenly had a trace of happiness in his heart, fortunately he didn't really do it with his son just now, otherwise it would not be his son who took the school exam, but his son who examined him, then he would lose face and even lose his face in front of Buned.

He was faintly proud in his heart, after all, they were a knight family, knights stood with swords, and this generation of the Cadilloso family did not disgrace the family after all, and it far exceeded everyone's expectations.

There was some quiet in the courtyard for a while.

Griffiin stayed for a moment, but there was no look of shame on her face, she struggled slightly, and said, "Teacher, can you let me go?" ”

Brando reacted immediately, and hurriedly let go of Her Royal Highness the Princess, only to feel that his cheeks were hot all the way to the root of his ears, and he thought to himself, "Oh my God, what have I done?" He couldn't help but look at Her Royal Highness the princess with some shame, but Griffith's face was very calm, she bent down to pick up the sword on the ground, glanced at Brando quietly, and gasped for a moment before saying, "Mr. Scott, Your Excellency Grand Master, can you let me stay alone with Lord Earl for a while?" ”

Scott and Bunid looked at each other as if they had exchanged colors before nodding.

But before leaving, Bunid smiled and said to Brando: "The little guy is courageous, as an 'uncle', I will pray for you." ”

Brando's old man, Mr. Scott Sr., was more reserved, he just glared at him and reminded, "Do it yourself." ”

Brando, who saw the two men walking out of the courtyard one after the other, did not understand what Her Highness meant, and he turned around to see Princess Griffiin standing with her sword in her hands; She stood under the tree, raised her head, the thin spots of light between the leaves fell on her shoulder, looking like a fairy in the forest, her gaze passed through the courtyard, looking at the scattered farmland outside the manor and the stag forest in the distance, and said softly: "Mr. Knight, can I still call you that?" ”

Brando's face was still warm, and he felt particularly uncomfortable alone with Her Royal Highness at this moment, as if the soft touch from before was still in his arms, and there was a faint fragrance of lilies on his body, which made him a little distracted, but he still nodded.

Griffiin glanced at him, the look in his silver eyes was very complicated, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried.

"You must be wondering why I'm here with the Highland Knights, right?"

Brando nodded.
