Chapter 73: Brothers (Update, the last chapter before it was released)
As Lord Rosen's confidant, and as the old man who has served the Denister family for the longest time, Captain Adams certainly remembers this most inconspicuous young master in the family.
However, what puzzled him was that although the young man in front of him had exactly the same appearance as the little young master, he did give people a completely different feeling.
Thinking of the various rumors about that Mitheus over the past year, Adams quickly reacted.
Today's little young master is not what it used to be, and it is even rumored that Grand Duke Rosen personally ventured to the southwest border to confirm whether the young man who is now hot in the aristocratic circle is the young master of the family.
If that's the case, then I'm afraid that Denister's words will change.
And at this time, the little young master's return to Sunset City is the best proof of this.
"Welcome back, young master. Adams bowed.
The surrounding guards also realized something and hurriedly saluted.
"See, this is our little master, the big guy behind the Mitheus Dragon Arena, Lord Karen. ”
"I heard that Young Master Karen is now a dragon knight?"
"Are you blind? You didn't see such a big wolf?"
"I heard that Mitheus is still building a dream arena, and invited all the dragon fighters in the entire Dragon Training Continent to participate, and the prize money is very generous. ”
"Do you want to join in the fun?"
"Why can't I?"
The guards were talking, and Li Xiang had already stepped into the door of the Denister family under the guidance of Adams.
Sbotin and Ogu, who had already received the news, were already standing outside the door.
In the family, the two who are fighting in secret are obviously on the same side at this time.
Seeing that the young man who was the only one of the three brothers to inherit his mother's beauty saluted them with a smile on his face, and his eyes even said indifferently without a trace of waves, the two of them felt very uncomfortable in their hearts.
Is this still the younger brother who left the family?
"Welcome back, Karen. Aogu took the lead and gave Li Xiang a big hug.
Sputin just said lightly: "Go in first, my father has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
"Okay. Li Xiang let go of the titular second brother and took the lead in stepping into the door with a smile.
The two walked behind Li Xiang, looking at the swaggering and natural younger brother, with complicated expressions.
The two of them had already felt that since their father had gone to Mitheus, his attitude towards his younger brother had changed dramatically, and he had never mentioned this little son in front of others before, but now almost every guest would take the initiative to say a few words.
When I met those nobles who came to the door to propose marriage, I was even more relieved to smile. "The child is away from home, and I can't do the young man's affairs, so when he comes back, I'll help you ask. ”
The two had never seen their father smile so heartily at the mention of them.
It wasn't until they saw that Grand Duke Lawson had taken the initiative to stand at the door that the two really realized that this younger brother, who had not seen him for more than a year, had a lot of status in their father's heart.
"Karen, come in. Archduke Rosen took his son's hand.
Not to mention, after a long absence, Archduke Rosen really misses this little son who dares to sit on an equal footing with him and talk eloquently.
In his mind, this is what a young man should look like, he Rosen decades ago, why wasn't he young and vigorous?
Li Xiang was not polite at all, and after bowing slightly, he sat down by himself, looked at the environment that had barely changed, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
This feeling lingered, which made him a little stunned.
"Haven't you eaten yet? I've got some snacks for you. Archduke Rosen smiled and waved his hand to go down and bring the prepared things to him.
Li Xiang responded with a smile: "Father, don't be so polite, I'm a little unused to it." ”
The faces of the two changed slightly.
On weekdays, how could they have the courage to talk to their father like this.
What surprised them even more was that Archduke Rosen didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "It's rare for you to come back, you can't even go without food." ”
"Okay, let's finish eating. "To be honest, Li Xiang is really hungry.
Soon, the snacks came up. Li Xiang was not polite, he picked it up and sent it to his mouth.
The two people next to him sat on either side, looked at each other, and didn't say a word.
It wasn't until Li Xiang finished eating that Grand Duke Rosen took his eyes off his little son, looked at the two sons next to him who were pretending to be calm, and said, "You three brothers have a good chat, I'll go and prepare first, and set off directly later." ”
As soon as Grand Duke Rosen left, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Li Xiang stuffed the last piece of pastry into his mouth and turned his head to look at the two.
The two looked at each other, but neither spoke.
Li Xiang naturally knew the purpose of leaving the three of them alone here at this time, and neither of them was a fool, so he naturally knew it.
"Big brother, second brother, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and it seems that you are doing well. Li Xiang still took the initiative to speak.
Hearing his younger brother speak, the two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
From Li Xiang's appearance to the present, there is an inexplicable sense of oppression, which has pressed on the hearts of the two, making them almost breathless.
The two of them basically didn't dare to imagine, but this is the reality.
Ogu smiled: "It's okay. It's just that without you, it's a lot more deserted. Fortunately, now that you're back, you have one more person to help your father share the burden. ”
The two stared at Li Xiang with burning eyes.
Li Xiang smiled secretly in his heart, but sighed with some regret on the surface: "What the second brother said is, it's a pity that I can't be busy in Mitheus myself now, if it wasn't for my father's summons this time, I don't think it would be possible to come back in the short term." Besides, I have to go back quickly after the matter is done, there are still many things to be taken care of over there. ”
Sputin lamented: "It's rare to come, don't you stay for a few more days before leaving?"
"I don't know what my father summoned me to, but I don't think I'll be in Dennister unless it's a matter of great importance. Li Xiang paused and continued: "Don't worry, two elder brothers, whether it is now or in the future, my focus will only be on the revival of Mitheus, and as for the future of Dannister, I will rely on the two elder brothers to assist my father." ”
Li Xiang felt that what he said was straightforward enough.
That's what he thinks too.
In his opinion, Mitheus is no worse than the name of a grand duke in the kingdom, not to mention that after experiencing the incident of Sour Iron City, Li Xiang has already figured out that his focus should be on his own strength, not just the strength of Mitheus.
If he has the strength to surpass His Excellency Ryon, let alone Mitheus, even Denister's crisis this time can be resolved.
After all, this is a world where strength is king.
Although these two brothers who don't have much emotion in their memories, it can be seen that they completely regard themselves as a guest in their current tone, but Li Xiang doesn't care.
It doesn't even feel like it matters.
