Nan Sichen hugged Lan Nianyun, walked across the trestle bridge, walked on the islands and reefs, and walked into the castle.

They walked through the resplendent rectangular hall, through the curved granite portico, to a large study.

Nan Sichen put Lan Nianyun down.

He pressed a switch on the wall, and the diamond-shaped crystal lamps hanging high above the roof poured out, illuminating the oil paintings on the four walls of the room.

Lan Nianyun's big eyes were shining, and he looked around, and quickly understood.

She smiled lightly, raised her eyes and asked Nan Sichen, "These portraits are all painted by the counts of the Garomei family." ”

"Hmm," Nan Sichen took her hand and asked softly, "Cindy, guess which one is my grandfather." ”

Almost without any hesitation, Lan Nianyun pointed to one of them, "That painting is your grandfather!" ”

Nan Sichen met her clear eyes and asked with a smile: "How can you guess it?" ”

"Because, you have the same blue eyes as your grandfather!" Lan Nianyun's tone was very determined.

Not only the shape and color of the eyes are exactly the same, but even the calm and noble bearing revealed between the eyebrows is also exactly the same.

Nan Sichen is very much like his grandfather Charles.

"Heh," Nan Sichen chuckled with satisfaction, brought her to the portraits, and began to introduce, "Our Garome family was given the title of count in the time of Louis XIII, and for three hundred and eighty years, my grandfather Charles is the twelfth hereditary count of the Garome family. ”

"Oh!"

Lan Nianyun nodded, his curious gaze swept over the twelve portraits one by one, and saw that the earls of the past dynasties were standing or sitting, or wearing a big hat, or wearing a court hat, with different postures and very noble temperaments.

After that, Nan Sichen gave a brief introduction to each generation of earls, and Lan Nianyun listened carefully and wrote them down one by one.

When it came to the last oil painting, Nan Sichen paused, and Lan Nianyun's gaze was completely attracted.

The painting is very special, not only of the handsome and dashing count, but also of a young woman in a golden court dress and a wide-brimmed feathered hat.

In the painting, the Count is dressed in a cool silver knight's suit, with a long sword on his left waist, his right leg is bent, his left leg is on one knee, and his left hand takes the woman's right hand and looks up at her. His gaze was solemn, sincere, sincere, and attached, and seemed to be mixed with passionate longing and admiration.

And the young woman, looking down at the Count, her skin was white, her eyebrows were beautiful, her temperament was elegant, and she was very beautiful. However, her eyes were quiet and soft, and her smile was faint, as if a beautiful lily bloomed.

"This is Lester, the third-generation earl of the Garomei family, and that woman is the girl Lester likes." Nan Sichen made a final introduction.

"Hmm." Lan Nianyun replied softly.

Somehow, as soon as she saw this woman, she couldn't take her eyes off it, and she felt the mood of the woman when she painted this portrait.

She has respect, gratitude, and even pity for the earl, but she doesn't have the kind of love between men and women.

There was still a faint sadness and gloom in her eyes, as if to say goodbye to him, to tell him that she was going to fly away to an unknown place.

Lan Nianyun stared at this woman, looking at it, her heart was sour, and her vision was a little blurred.

"What's wrong, Cindy? Why are you crying? In his ears, Nan Sichen's voice was as soft as the breeze.

Just now, he looked at this oil painting for a long time with Lan Nianyun's gaze, and he had been meditating on Lester's life in his heart.

He was one of the greatest and most legendary counts in the history of the Garome family, and it was he who began to write the knightly handbook that had been passed down for centuries by the Garome family.

The woman in the painting is the first princess of the Garome family, the Duchess of Dianaline de France.

The story between Lester and Diane Lynn has long been written into a book and has been collected by successive earls and heirs.

However, so far, Nan Sichen has not seen the book, and only occasionally in conversations with Charles, he learned about some emotional entanglements between Lester and Diane Lian.

It was really a sighing emotion, Leicester went to the soup and fire, fearless, overcoming obstacles and moving forward bravely; Diane Lian has been struggling, tangled, wandering, and suffering, until finally she chose to let go of everything, left her hometown, and slashed the strands of love between the two with a knife.

Nan Sichen once felt very puzzled by Dianalian's approach, "Grandpa, why does Diana Lian not want to stay with Lester, she clearly has feelings for Lester, but she would rather leave him, and when she leaves, she also blesses him, hoping that he will marry her?" ”

Charles said earnestly, "Lawrence, the feelings in the world are very complicated, and not people who love each other will necessarily be able to be together, which requires the right time, place, and people to be promoted." Lester and Diane Lian have gone through too many hardships, even if they love each other, but they can't be together for a lifetime if they lose the right time and place. Diane Lian's choice to leave Leicester is actually another kind of fulfillment. Without Diane Lynn's letting go, Lester would not have established a happy family in the future, with children and grandchildren who will be glorious from generation to generation. ”

At that time, Nan Sichen was still young, only twelve years old, and he had not yet fully comprehended these words, compared to the relationship between Lester and Dianalian, he was more curious about what kind of ordeal the two had experienced, but he knew that the story of Lester and Dianale involved some secrets of the then king Louis XIV, and until he grew up, Charles would not show him the book.

At that time, he stared at this oil painting for a long time, and suddenly his mind moved, and he asked Charles, "Grandpa, why did Lester use his left hand when he took the oath of knighthood to Diane?" His sword was also pinned to his left waist. ”

Hearing this, Charles's eyes showed appreciation, his grandson has always been smart and careful, observant, for so many years, he and James have formulated an extremely strict plan for the cultivation of the earl's heir, but Nan Sichen has implemented it meticulously, he has not fallen behind, step by step, and every step he has taken has met their expectations, and even exceeded their expectations.

Just like at this time, Nan Sichen once again hit the crux of the problem.

Charles didn't answer him......
