Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info's handmade gowns are luxurious in almost every detail, and the neckline is carefully polished into buttoned gemstones, and even the tiniest of them can make an ordinary family live comfortably for several months

The clothes made by several masters according to the figure perfectly present the most perfect curves of the woman, and with the help of the maid, the waist inlaid with gold wire is slowly tied, and the chest tightly wrapped between breaths appears more towering, and the white and deep ravine in the center can bring people endless reverie without sound......

Standing on the thick cashmere carpet with her smooth little feet, Elena pulled the skirt and spun around in place, leaned forward with some dissatisfaction to look at the blurred reflection in the bronze mirror, and rarely asked the personal maid beside her with apprehension

"I ...... I look okay, could there be any details that I haven't noticed? ”

Before he finished speaking, his fair neck was already red, and his big eyes under his long eyelashes were full of indescribable tenderness and sweetness

"Of course, my dear granddaughter will always be the most beautiful flower in the world, but what makes me feel extremely sad is that this fully blooming flower is finally leaving me, at this time, can little Erin hate the guy who snatched you, haha!"

With the sound of heavy footsteps, the Duke of Lancaster's bold and joyful teasing came in, and it was Elena's cousin Antonis, who looked serious for the first time, holding the old man by his side......

Waving his hand to make the frightened maid who was squatting down to retreat, the duke gently hugged the coquettish Elena, and pressed her shoulders with both hands to look carefully, his eyes full of reluctance and kindness, perhaps, as he said before, a most precious thing was about to leave him

"Grandfather, I'm afraid I'm not ready...... I, I don't want to leave you."

Her eyes were slightly red, and Elena Joan's nose was slightly wrinkled, just like all girls who leave the family for the first time, and whispered with deep reluctance and attachment

Gently brushing his granddaughter's silky green silk, the Duke of Lancaster smiled and spoke

"What a foolish thing to say, everyone grows up to form a new family, Your Highness is a true gentleman who is respected and reassured, kind, kind, humble and stoic, you will be happy my little Irene, and ...... Who said you would leave me? ”

With the support of Antonis and Elena, the duke, who was full of kindness, still had the slightest trace of the majesty of a noble nobleman with a decisive killing at this moment, and slowly sat down on the sofa, looking at his grandson and granddaughter kneeling on both sides, he laughed for a long time before he continued

"I have already discussed with His Highness, the destruction of Grey Keep may be destined to the rebirth of the Lancaster family, and a city that is still built on the same site in the future has no meaning in my opinion except for pain and memories, so I have decided that in the Northern Territory, on the plain not far from Stormwind City, we will have a new city in the future, a starting point to rewrite the glorious future of the family!"

"Praise the Light, grandfather, but will such words embarrass Leo, after all, the cities between nobles are too close to each other, and there will always be some impact on the development of the family......"

"You......"

Pinched Elena's nose, looking at his granddaughter who had already begun to think about each other before she got married, the duke wanted to say that it was impossible to say that there was no jealousy and sadness, but he covered it up well, and after thinking about it, he decided to let his granddaughter know more

The duke's eyes flashed with apologetic glare that Antonis keenly captured, and the former gentleman nodded calmly at his grandfather, as if he had already known the family's final decision

After a moment's thought, the Duke whispered to Elena, who was wide-eyed and puzzled

"The aging body allows me to take care of the family less and less, no, don't say honey yet, let me finish ......"

Holding the hands of the two children beside him, the young and energetic skin made the Duke a little gloomy

"The family finally passed my decision yesterday, little Irene, in the future, after I am summoned by the gods, you will become the new leader of the Lancaster family, and inherit my dukedom status and matching status and wealth, which can be regarded as an answer to your question above, the two families will support and take care of each other from now on, until one day...... Completely integrated, of course, the great surname Lancaster will live on forever, and Your Highness has promised me that in the future your children will have two surnames at the same time! ”

Standing up as stunned as if struck by lightning, it took Elena a few minutes to recover from this shocking news, and with some gaffes pointing to Antonis, who was still calm next to her, she subconsciously covered her lips and spoke

"I don't understand grandfather, sorry...... My mind is very confused now, I always thought that only a cousin would be able to inherit the expectations of you and the family, and you seem to have forgotten, I am a woman, a duchess? This...... There is no precedent for this at all...... No, I can't accept it, it will bring the honor of the whole family to shame because of me! ”

Antonis, who had become more mature than before, looked at his somewhat tired grandfather, stood up calmly with a smile, and gently took Elena's somewhat cold and trembling palm as he had played in childhood

"Don't worry I'll be sad for my sister, I agree with my grandfather's decision, the interests of the family are above all else, not to mention that your love is so real and strong, maybe you don't know, I have decided to participate in the cruel war in the future, any man of the Lancaster family should rely on his bravery and fearlessness to gain merit like his grandfather did back then, I now have the status of an earl, and the future will be under the care of my kind brother-in-law, Even a marquis or even a duke is not something unimaginable...... As for your fears, there is no need for my dear sister, think of the countess who has been clinging to her a little annoying lately, and I believe that you will do better than her in the future, after all, we all have the blood of the noble Lancastrian family in our veins! ”

Raising his head, Antonis' slender neck was raised high, just as he had when he first met Leo when he first came out of the storm, but now the count's face was much less unruly and more heartfelt

Seeing this scene in front of him, the corners of the Duke of Lancaster's eyes suddenly moistened, and the inheritance problem of countless nobles who had been embarrassed was silently resolved here, including Antonis, who worried him the most in the past, all the children grew up and matured unconsciously, and behind the strong reluctance, the Duke had an irrepressible emotion and longing......

"The future must be better, isn't it......"
