Section 52: Night of the Empty Nesters

Watching her father walk into the antechamber of the mansion with an umbrella, Margaret stood in front of the door smiling and paying due respect to her father and the king of this country.

Handing the umbrella to the attendant behind him, His Majesty took off his cloak: "Margaret, I met Colin today in the ruined fort to the north. ”

"You're drinking again?" As a woman, Margaret immediately grasped the key point that her father did not mention in his whole sentence.

"A man should drink." The middle-aged man laughed and glanced at Margaret: "What about your sister Faye." ”

"She's playing with her classmates." Margaret smiled and took her father's cloak and hung it on the coat rack at the entrance of the annex - avoiding extravagance was the motto of the Morvis family, who were no more than dukes in the south during the time they were not kings.

There aren't so many unrealistic faults.

"Men or women." Similarly, as a member of the Movis family, the father also grasped the key point that his daughter did not mention in the whole sentence for the first time.

"Boy." Margaret is not selling her sister, but there are some things that her father always has to know, and it is better to treat her with sincerity from the beginning than to deceive for a while.

“…… You two sisters really don't take me as a father seriously. The middle-aged man's eyes widened.

"After all, we are the children of your mother, father." Margaret did not flinch, and their mother did not take her father's words as a commandment, but chose the fourth prince at that time.

Some people don't have a high vision, but that doesn't mean they aren't lucky enough, and vice versa.

This sentence made the unhappiness on the middle-aged man's face disappear directly, and he shook his head: "Then tell me, which boy is it, if I am not mistaken, among the several nobles in Carterburg, there does not seem to be a suitable boy for Faye's child." ”

"It's not them, it's Marin, Marin Gayat, an apprentice in the Church of the Goddess of the Harvest and a classmate of Faye." Margaret, who had once again won a-for-tat battle with her father, said with a smile.

Marin Gayat...... My old Lev, I haven't heard of this name. Her father turned his head and looked at his old butler.

"Young Master Colin mentioned it at noon today, he said that he couldn't return to the city in that ruined fort, all because his mentor wanted his junior brother Young Master Marin to see blood." The old butler was of elven blood, so he didn't look as old as his lord sounded, and he replied with a smile as he stood by the door.

"Ah, yes......" Speaking of this, the father frowned: "No, why did you sisters find a child from the Harvest Goddess Church, I think it is time to change your sister to another church." ”

"Then it's better not the Church of the God of War." Margaret said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Her father was confused.

So as a daughter, Margaret told her father exactly what happened at noon today.

When he heard that his new son-in-law was alone against the living corpse bride transformed into Duke Domingo's daughter, and then he could win completely, His Majesty finally couldn't help but speak: "This kid is really a step ten? ”

"I just became an apprentice half a year ago."

"I've learned the technique of one ring to three rings in half a year, where did this monster come from." Margaret's father scratched his head: "Then again, my daughter...... Will there be many opponents? ”

If the father was still thinking about whether his daughter would look away, now he thinks that his daughter is ...... Will there be so many opponents in the imperial capital?

It must have been a bloody battle, but at the beginning, the old father of the Morvis family misunderstood who was the hunter and who was the prey.

"It's just a few crooked melons and cracked dates, and the only thing that is a little troublesome is that His Excellency Gaiatt also has a righteous sister, and that little leopard is very favored."

"That's okay, just find an opportunity for me to be a matchmaker for that little girl in a few years."

The head of the Morvis family was clear, but his daughter clearly didn't want to do it, and with a sound of me coming back, drawing the attention of both the father and daughter of the Wilwis family to the gate.

Faye was putting away her umbrella, she looked at her father and shook her head: "Father, I have a very good relationship with Maya, and I also think that one more friend has one more way, and I don't have to kill every opponent who may become a friend, and I think that if I make a move against Maya, then in Marin's eyes, I am no different from those crooked melons and cracked dates." ”

"My daughter, you are the best!" Her old father held his heart in his hands.

"Because it's the best, Maya listens to me now, and those crooked melons and crackers who lost their armor and abandoned their armor that we killed have no hope, this battle, I'm in control, father, don't come to make trouble for me."

"Why do you want to share it with other girls, my daughter, you can have everything you have." As a father, His Majesty really doesn't want his daughter to be an emotional sharer.

Taking off his coat, Faye, who had already walked to the center of the hall, turned his head to look at his father: "Father, that's why Margaret and I are the children of your mother and you, and our sisters are the children of your mother and youIt's something I'm very proud of that he was able to kill a living bride today! In the entire land under the jurisdiction of the Morvis family, on the territory of the Sidney Union, can you find me another one? ”

Her father was silent for a moment, and eventually had to shake his head to show that he was really powerless.

"You're right, my daughter, in that case, your life is up to you, but don't forget your last name, and don't forget the decency that a lady should have."

"At least I'm not going to die like the daughter of House Domingo." Faye unfurled his cuffs expressionlessly, revealing the small dagger in it: "The silver steel dagger, any lady should need it to maintain the last dignity necessary to be human." ”

As an old father, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at his old housekeeper: "Why don't I remember that I have such a family motto." ”

"Isn't it now, sir?" The old housekeeper obviously didn't want to join in the discussion with his master about the rights and wrongs of this kind of housework.

So the old man turned to look at his daughter: "But promise me, my daughter, don't give up easily." ”

"Of course, father, in my dreams, there has always been a prince riding a white horse, of course I now think that riding a horse is really too tasteless, maybe a small steam turbine locomotive is more suitable for my prince." Faye spoke a little quietly, and the old man, who couldn't figure out what his daughter was talking about, once again turned to his other daughter for help.

"Marin is a little short, it should be a bloodline effect, and he looks tender." At this moment, as a young female historian with a conscience, Margaret stepped forward and told her father about this fact.

Her father gasped and looked at his daughter with a little less affection: "My daughter, I should probably discuss it with your mother. ”

"Sister, look at the good things you have done." Faye gave his own sister a blank look.

"Honesty is a virtue, my sister, and you may not believe it, but be sure to be in awe of it, for there will be many who believe in it." Margaret smiled and finished speaking, and lifted the skirt to her old father: "Father, please forgive me, I will go back to the room to rest first." ”

Then the sister and daughter left the hall smiling.

Faye and her father stared at each other, and in the end her father couldn't bear the pressure - the eldest of the two daughters was like herself, sleek and persistent; And the second daughter is like a mother, persistent and stubborn.

At a very young age, she fled the royal capital because she said she didn't like the way people looked at her as if they were looking at her goods.

"My lovely daughter, aren't you going to rest?"

"Well, father, then I'll take my leave." Deciding to end the zero-sum game of staring at each other, her youngest daughter stroked her chest and performed a mage salute before walking to her room.

Watching his daughter disappear into the depths of the corridor, the old man of the Morvis family turned his head to look at his old butler: "Can you help me find a private detective tomorrow to find out what Mr. Marin Gayat is?" ”

Although he didn't have the same fury that his daughter Margaret showed when she said she had a boyfriend named Colin, as a father, he felt that there were things that he had to know.

"There is no problem, Your Majesty, if it is found to be a problem."

"In a place as big as Fort Carter, there's always a suitable place for him." After speaking, the old father smiled: "Do it beautifully, I don't want to be hunted down by my daughter for the rest of my life." ”

"Your Majesty, if you don't want to be hunted down by your daughter, then why don't you give up investigating him." The old butler felt that his master had become more and more problematic recently, and the closer he got to the twilight of his life, the more contradictory he became.

"Because I am a father first and a majesty second, you know, old Lev, they are the most favored daughters of my lover and me, and Lena and I don't even have a son, they are my treasures, you know, I don't want the pearl to be dusty, and I don't want my daughters to be dazzled by lies, if that's a little liar, help me ......" The next words were no longer words as a particle to strengthen the tone, and the old father pulled his left index finger on his neck gently but firmly.

"No problem, sir, please believe the oath that an elf has made to you." The old elf replied with a smile.

"I'm relieved to have your words, old Lev, remember, this is a secret between our men, don't tell my two ladies, let alone my daughters."

"You're my lord, and they're not." The old elf's eyes narrowed.

"That's why I believe in you so much, old Lev, remember, tomorrow morning." After saying that, the old father of the Morwis family decided to go back to his room to rest.

"Have you slept so early, Your Majesty, don't you ask the local nobles to play a few cards with you?"

"Do you know, old Lev, there is a king whose wives will not return today, and it is raining so hard." Speaking of this, the king pointed out the window to the continuous rain that was pouring down: "The sons are on the front line and in the royal capital, the daughters are either married or ready to marry off, the empty nester is so pitiful, and the strict control of his wives makes him unworthy of even a night life, so what else can he play, sleep, nothing to disturb." ”
