Chapter 102: A fateful encounter

Taking a deep look at Edith, who had always hidden his face in the shadow of the sofa, Luo Yun reached out and patted the suddenly clenched fists of Yubari beside him and said, "Old man, this joke is not very funny. ”

"Do you think I'm going to joke about this kind of thing, old man?"

"Does Count Calland know about this?"

"Without the Earl's approval, how could I have decided such a thing?" Picking up the teacup beside him and taking a sip, Thord tapped his knee and smiled, "You should know that Archduke Alphonse has always intended for his young son Dios to marry my young lady. ”

Luo Yun said in his heart that I know a P, but seeing that Sode looked like this, it seemed that this matter was not a secret, so he could only nod at the moment and asked: "I have always heard that the earl and the grand duke have a very good personal relationship, could it be that the earl is not satisfied with this family business?" ”

In Luo Yun's opinion, this kind of marriage between the nobles and the lords is enough as long as the other party has a personal appearance, as for what kind of character, knowledge, and personality are inconsequential, and it can make the Earl of Callan ruthlessly refuse the marriage of the Grand Duke, what kind of Dios has to be rotten.

"The Grand Duke has two sons under his knees, the eldest son, His Excellency Diggory, has a gentle and humble personality, is a true gentleman, and has received the elite education of the Principality since he was a child, no matter his knowledge and ability are the choice of the moment, and he is also the heir of the Principality favored by the nobles of the whole country, and the Grand Duke has always been proud of him, but three years ago, His Excellency Diggory died of an unexpected illness, and the burden of inheriting the Principality can only fall on the Archduke's youngest son Dios, and this kid has been idle since he was a child, and the Grand Duke has not prepared to let him inherit the title before, has always been negligent in disciplining him, and now when this Dios has become the only heir of the principality, the Grand Duke has found that this product is not enough to convince the public, if he succeeds to the throne, he is afraid that the Watson family will no longer be able to suppress the three marquises, so he has the idea of finding a strong relative. ”

"So the Grand Duke thought of the Kallan family? But isn't it best that this guy is a piece of wastewood? With Miss Edith's ability and the power of the Karlan family, I'm afraid it won't take long to completely empty him, and then the Duchy of Watson will change its surname to Calland, and this kind of good thing will Count Romen refuse? ”

"Originally, my father did have such thoughts, but I didn't expect that guy to be a mud that couldn't support the wall, alcoholism, addiction, gambling, and cruelty, over the years, there were no less than a hundred maids in the palace of the royal capital Pasha who were abused to death, and the aristocracy of the entire principality had a lot of complaints about him, and unfortunately the Grand Duke himself was sad because of the death of His Excellency Diggory, and his health was getting worse and worse, and there was no time to discipline this waste anymore."

Luo Yun was shocked in her heart, but these words were said by Edith on the side, and her face was as quiet as a pool at the moment, as if the few people were discussing just an unrelated person's lifelong affairs.

Seeing Luo Yun looking over with a surprised face, Edith smiled lightly and said: "But even if this waste is tyrannical and murderous, he won't dare to attack me anyway, after all, the strength of my Callan family is not inferior to the weakest of the three marquises, and the Watson family doesn't dare to touch the three marquises, so don't you dare to touch me Callan, it's just that if this Dios is just like this, it's just that......"

"Is this okay?" On the side, Luo Yun couldn't help but interrupt, if he had a baby daughter, this kind of scum would dare to hit her attention, and he would definitely stuff this goods into the ninety-one armor-piercing bullet and send him to the sky with 46 cannons.

Shaking his head slightly, Edith had a deep disgust on his face, but he didn't go any further.

Seeing this scene, Soder on the side opened his mouth to take over the conversation: "This matter has to start with February 29 of the previous year, the independence day of the Duchy of Watson. Because it is only once every four years, the celebration of Independence Day is also very grand, and the vast majority of the nobles and commoners in the city of Aydin gather in the square outside the Pasha Palace to watch the military parade and the subsequent parade of floats, and on that day the Grand Duke, as the ruler of the Duchy, will also give a review of the past four years and the future development of the Duchy, and the heir of the Grand Duke must also be present on this occasion, and that day is the first time that Dios has attended such an occasion with the Grand Duke since the death of His Excellency Diggory. But the celebration was about to begin, and Dios had not yet appeared, so the Grand Duke sent his chamberlain to look for him, and as a result, uh......"

"What's the result, don't gasp for breath at this time." Luo Yun and Maya saw Suo De's bad look, and the soul of gossip suddenly burned, and even Yubari, who was in a somewhat depressed mood on the side, looked up.

Showing an expression that he couldn't look at directly, Soder grinned bitterly and said: "As a result, the chamberlain found this thing entangled with his three personal guards in the dressing room and was in full swing, and there were still a few bottles of magic breath potions on the floor of the locker room, and later, although the Grand Duke issued the strictest gag order, and even this chamberlain and his family finally disappeared from the world, but this big scandal still spread in the aristocratic circle of the entire principality, you said that if the young lady marries such a garbage Kallan family, the face will not be wanted, So that night the earl rushed to the Pasha palace to dissolve the marriage contract between the two, also because the earl and the archduke had a very unpleasant quarrel. ”

"I, I'm grass, Nima, you city people really know how to play." Luo Yun didn't know what expression to use at the moment.

He had also heard of this magic breath potion, which was said to be made by a potions alchemist using several magical herbs to purify and concentrate, with a powerful hallucinogenic effect, and these goods were also strange enough, and the results of the ecstasy/hallucination/drug party before the Independence Day celebration were too high, so that it was delayed and was broadcast live.

Thinking about that scene, I felt that it was extremely exciting, and Maya Yubari on the side couldn't help but show an expression that couldn't be looked at directly.

Seeing that Edith and Thord both had wry smiles on their faces, Luo Yun asked in a low voice, "Then why does Count Calland want me to get engaged to Edith?" ”

"First of all, our two families have good prospects for cooperation, and the relationship between your kid and Miss is also very good, the most important thing is that you have three great swordsmen around you to protect you, if that dios seeks revenge, you also have enough power to protect yourself. In recent years, the Grand Duke's health has deteriorated, and recently there seem to be signs of matching Miss and Nadios, and three days later will be the Grand Duke's seventieth birthday, when the Duke's home and abroad will be many nobles to congratulate, in such an occasion if the public mouth, unless the family is ready to completely tear the face with the Grand Duke, otherwise this marriage may not be refused, and the Earl's meaning is to let you and Miss pretend to be engaged as soon as possible in these two days, and block the Grand Duke's mouth. ”

"Pretend?" Luo Yun and Maya Yubari were shocked at the same time.

"Nonsense, the Earl has already said that if you kid dares to discount the young lady's bad intentions, say it quickly, do you agree or agree?"

Luo Yun rolled his eyes and didn't speak, and with his silence, the atmosphere in the box gradually became solemn and depressing.

"On one side is the chick who has been helping you, and on the other side is the rival who will inevitably take over the principality in the future, which side do you say you should choose?" In the silent box, Liyue's teasing voice sounded in Luo Yun's mind.

Shaking his head with a smile, Luo Yun said, "Didn't you already help me choose." ”

Edith has helped him a lot these days, as for I'm afraid there will be more things to trouble her in the future, as for Nadios, as Lianyue said, even if he wants to take revenge on himself, he can only wait until he takes over the title of grand duke in the future, and at that time, with the town guard mansion in his body, how can he be afraid of him?

Glancing at Edith, who was silent with his head down, Luo Yun chuckled and said to Thord, "I am very good friends with Miss Edith. ”

Hearing this, Edith and Yubari breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, revealing a relieved smile.

Seeing that Luo Yun nodded, Thord was not in the mood to see those bidders competing to flatter the Grand Duke, and quietly left the auction hall through the side door with everyone, along the way, the air in the carriage became ambiguous and awkward due to the silence of Edith and Yubari.

After saying goodbye to Edith outside the State Guesthouse, Luo Yun wanted to have a good chat with Yubari when he returned to his residence, but Yubari held Maya's hand all the way, and the two chatted so lively, but they didn't give him any chance to speak.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, because he was going to visit Edith's father, Count Romon, Luo Yun got up early in the morning, in order not to delay time, he forcibly entered the third-level town guard world to have a good look and left his room, at breakfast, Yuzhang used the excuse that they were tired last night and needed to make up for sleep, so he dragged Maya, who had not finished breakfast, back to his room, helplessly, Luo Yun could only take Eugen to Nakallan Manor with him.

Walking out of the building of the State Guesthouse, Luo Yun looked up at the clear sky, and couldn't help sighing, the small place he lived in in his previous life was so precious, feeling the morning sun with a hint of warmth shining on his body, Luo Yun's mood was also much brighter, and he walked slowly in the verandah of the State Guesthouse with Eugen, not far away, a girl in a white dress was sitting at a wooden table holding a parchment scroll and watching with relish, The small gap between the vines and rose branches on the roof of the verandah cast a wisp of light on the girl's dress, and a curling ancient wind soaked in the fragrance of books came to the face, making Luo Yun and Eugen both slightly startled.

As if disturbed by the footsteps of the two, the girl raised her head in some astonishment, and saw Luo Yun and Eugen looking at her in a daze, she couldn't help but smile lightly, and closed the ancient scroll and bowed slightly to the two.

Smiling awkwardly, Luo Yun bowed with a little apology, and pulled Eugen gently down the verandah to the gate of the state guesthouse.

When the figures of the two had completely disappeared from view, the girl slowly turned her head and smiled lightly at a tall girl standing in the shadow of the pillar, wearing a red and blue double-breasted short skirt-style military uniform: "What a fateful meeting, nay, Rodney?"
