Section 39 Home (two verses uploaded today)
Moon Shadow looked up and saw an old man dressed in aristocratic attire standing at the arch in front of him, his waist straight, his face gloomy like a creditor who had not collected his debts, looking at her with a hint of coldness, and behind him, there were four heavily armed attendants.
Albert was obviously afraid of the old man, and let go of Moon Shadow's hand in a panic: "Uh, grandpa, this is Alice, Alice is home!" Alice, come and meet Grandpa! ”
Grandfather?
Isn't that the contemporary patriarch of the Warren family?
Moon Shadow had no choice but to step forward and salute, who called someone an elder!
"Well, it's good to come back!"
Duke Warren's face looked much better, he glanced at the moon shadow, and said to Albert with a straight face: "Albert, you are not too young, you must remember your status as a magician and nobleman, and pay attention to your physique!" ”
"Yes, Grandpa!" Albert was as honest as a sheep in the paws of a wolf.
Duke Warren nodded with satisfaction, his eyes fell on the Cremu and Lisi sisters behind the Moon Shadow, the old man was a warrior at the peak of the eighth level, of course he could recognize the level of the Lisi sisters, although Amazonian warriors were very rare, but what surprised him even more was Cremu.
Generally speaking, the rank of a warrior or mage is determined by a professional guild using professional methods, but senior professionals will have a rough assessment of low-level professionals. For example, the Lisi sisters, Duke Warren can assess their strength between level four ~ five, but it is absolutely impossible for a low-level professional to assess the level of a high-level professional. Now, Duke Warren could not determine the rank of the Cremu, and he could not even determine whether the Cremu was an ordinary person.
"Who are they?" Duke Warren asked about Moon Shadow this time.
"Krim is my servant, Liz and Murphy are my handmaidens!" Moon Shadow replied deferentially, giving his parents enough face.
"Hmm."
Duke Warren nodded and left with his attendants.
Moon Shadow watched Duke Warren walk away, and gently patted his chest a few times: "Ho, brother, this old man is fierce enough!" ”
Geezer? Albert grinned, "Alice, you really have ...... However, he is indeed quite fierce. After Duke Warren left, Albert began to laugh again, but much more than before.
Along the way, he met people greeting Albert from time to time, looking at Moon Shadow with surprise or disdain...... However, Moon Shadow chose to ignore them all, and her heart was now filled with the joy of meeting the Countess.
Motherhood has always been the greatest, when Alice was unconscious, the Countess gave up all communication, even her husband, and stayed by her side day and night, although Alice did not wake up, but she could still feel the strong maternal love, and left this emotion to Moon Shadow.
It is probably the reason for the loss of life since childhood, the memory of little Alice and the love of the countess made Moon Shadow feel her mother's feelings again, if it were not for her attachment to the countess, she might find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and abundant spiritual energy to cultivate, and she might also travel to the mainland.
As for Count Warren, Moon Shadow didn't have the slightest place in his heart for this cheap father, but Eugenie and Albert still had a place in little Alice's memory.
In the distance, Moon Shadow saw the Countess in a sky blue dress standing in front of the door, waving to this side, her long hair dancing gently in the breeze, and a demure smile on the corner of her mouth.
Although after more than two years of cultivation, Moon Shadow's state of mind had reached the realm of Gujing Bubo, but when she saw the countess, there were still ripples in her heart. The years have left a few traces on the countess's smooth forehead, but they have not detracted from her beauty in the slightest.
Moon Shadow ran over quickly and plunged into the Countess's warm embrace, "Mom, I'm back!" ”
The countess's eyes were filled with tears, she gently stroked the soft long hair of Moon Shadow, and said in a soft but firm voice: "Alice, come back this time, I won't let you leave your mother's side again!" ”
"Yes, Mom, I'll never leave you again!" Moon Shadow's answer was equally firm.
Albert had something to do, and said that he would come back early in the evening and leave, while Moon Shadow accompanied his mother into the room to talk, and in order not to worry the countess, she picked out some interesting things that happened during her travels and told them to the countess, and did not mention anything about the shipwreck, and the separation with Mina-sensei.
The mother and daughter talked happily, but almost missed the time for dinner, until Albert came in, the mother and daughter knew that time passed so quickly, and Moon Shadow was not too hungry, but considering the Countess's health and Count Warren, who had just returned home, she still honestly followed her to the dining room.
Although it is a big family, except for special days, each family still eats in their own restaurant, as soon as they enter the door, Moon Shadow sees Count Warren sitting on the main seat, although he is very cold, but this cheap father is indeed very handsome, nearly fifty years old, he looks less than forty years old, his eyes are blazing, quite majestic, but that face...... It seems too serious, and there is a tendency to move closer to Duke Warren, I don't know if it is affected by the residual memories of little Alice, Moon Shadow is quite timid under the gaze of Count Warren, although it is only for a moment, it also makes her feel uncomfortable.
However, Moon Shadow paid the most attention to the woman sitting next to the Count, smoky and flattering—this was the most pertinent comment Moon Shadow thought was true, and two children, a man and a woman, in their teens, were looking at her curiously.
The Countess glanced at Moon Shadow, and Moon Shadow reluctantly stepped forward and saluted, "Father, I'm back!" ”
Earl Warren nodded and said, "Well, it's good to come back, sit down!" ”
For more than ten years, the Count only occasionally glanced at his daughter when he returned to the manor, and in his impression, his daughter was like a lifeless ugly duckling nestled in a pile of silk, but he did not expect that it was so beautiful now, which reminded him of the Countess in his youth.
Cecili, who was next to the earl, walked over and pulled Moon Shadow to sit down beside her, and said with a smile, "Ouch, this is Alice?" It's so beautiful, it's just like my sister, Arya, Robert, call me sister! ”
The two little children stood up politely: "Sister! ”
"Hey!" Moon Shadow agreed, thought for a moment, and took out two rubies from the storage bracelet and gave them to the two little ones.
"Thank you, sister!" The little ones still have sweet mouths and can't put down their new toys.
Count Warren's eyes showed a look of surprise, the bracelet ...... It is clearly a storage equipment similar to a space ring, if it is to be auctioned on the mainland, it is very easy to sell it for one million and eight hundred thousand gold coins, even the Warren family only has a space ring of about four cubic meters, and now it is wearing it on the patriarch's hand, where did the moon shadow come from? Maybe it was given by High Priest Mina?
"Alice, this is Lady Cecili, you should call her 'Second Aunt'." The Countess sat down beside the Count and introduced Moon Shadow.
"Second aunt!" Moon Shadow shouted unexpectedly, purely to save face for the Countess.
"Okay, everyone is a family, don't be so polite, Alice just came back today, she must be tired and hungry, hurry up and eat!" Lady Cecilia laughed.
