In this world, the first priority of the aristocracy is always the question of inheritance, and many wars have been caused by this. Even the thousand-year-old grievances between the kingdom of Isaac and the kingdom of Eren next door came from this.

And once you see blood, it means that the climax is coming.

After a night of wind and rain, the situation in the whole White City was obviously much more tense the next day. The soldiers were organized into teams of five and began to patrol around, and everyone could clearly feel the change. It's the tabloids in Baicheng, which are surprisingly quiet, and the reports are all about some small things about sesame mung beans.

Or else?

The lord's inheritance is a matter of life, usually blindly reporting that it is okay, the knife has been unsheathed, and then blindly reporting is looking for death. I heard that the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, who had sensed the change in the atmosphere, had been waiting at the gate of the castle early to see Irene. It doesn't mean anything else, just to probe the lord's tone and see what the lord likes to listen to at this time.

Of course, none of this is Gray's business. Or rather, Gray doesn't care about it for the time being. Because he has a new problem - Shelley.

As soon as he opened the door in the morning, he found Shelley standing in the door of his room, dressed beautifully. And then I followed him all the time.

He takes a step, Shelley follows, he runs, Shelley runs with him.

Worst of all, Shelley kept looking at him and laughing......

I've always cried when I saw him before.

Actually, crying is also annoying, but fortunately, it is simple and easy to understand. At least Gray knew that Shelley was crying because she was sad. Although Gray couldn't figure out what she was sad about, it was as if anything could make her sad. But at least you know she's sad, isn't it?

What's the deal with laughing now? And it's watching yourself laugh and laugh all the time...... It's creepy.

"She can't have discovered my secret, can she?"

"You still have a secret?

"I'm such a big 'secret' standing here, and you actually ask me what secret?"

"Oh, you say you're a lich? If she knew, she wouldn't laugh. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure. ”

Still, Gray wasn't satisfied. Because he was going out to meet the opportunity to promote chivalry, and Shelley was going to follow. This forced him to let Shelley ride the horse while leading the horse himself.

"She affected the speed of my movements, which caused me to miss out on a lot of opportunities that required me to develop my chivalry, which in turn delayed my time as a great knight. Maybe years, maybe forever! Oh my God! It's terrible to think about!"

"Oh, so you can't stand it anymore? And you still proposed in the first place, and you still want to have a lot of little lichs?"

"What does this have to do with a marriage proposal?"

"When you're married, you know that you even have to sleep together?"

"But I don't have to sleep. ”

“......”

The black cat suddenly thought of a serious question: "Do you think that if you get married, you will definitely have children?"

"Isn't it?" asked Gray.

"Could it be?" the black cat was shocked.

Gray said seriously: "I think the "Knight Guide" is that as long as you get married, you will have children in a few years. It's the same in the Bible. But it's kind of strange why some people who are not married have children? Isn't it necessary to get married?"

The corner of the black cat's eyes twitched.

In other words, this guy has never figured out what Irene's question about the relationship between her "biological daughter" and Jones's "illegitimate child" is about.

Would you like to educate a lich about human physiology now?

"Heh, whoever likes to do this kind of thing will do it, anyway, I won't do it. ”

"What did you say?"

"No, I just yawned and didn't say anything. The black cat said with a sneer.

Probably because of the fact that there would be a war at any time, some caravans chose to leave early, and Baicheng was depressed a lot. There are more soldiers on the streets, and there are fewer pedestrians.

This left Gray very troubled. To make matters worse, most of the soldiers knew about him and would help him whenever they saw him wanting to do something.

So, one morning, he helped three old people cross the road. It's hard to get it. Because of the urgency, one of them didn't want to cross the road and helped him over, and he could only help him back.

Can that count as two?

Well, you can't. Then deduct this, and actually help one.

This made Gray feel like his knighthood was bleak.

"What to do, can I still be a great knight?" Gray glanced back at Shelley, who was sitting on his horse, smiling sweetly with his long hair, all the while staring at him.

Shelley's gaze really never left Gray for a moment.

"Love is really blind. The black cat sighed, "She's been following you all morning, hasn't she noticed that you're a fool?"

"Help me figure out a way to get rid of her. ”

"It's too simple. She's not alone. It's almost noon, so I'll send her back to the castle for lunch, and then sneak away while she's not looking. ”

"Hey, that sounds great!"

Turning back, he saw Shelley take a basket from the maid.

"I thought about it for a moment, it's quite far back to the castle here. You're tired after a morning of walking. So I asked them to prepare a place for us here, and we'll have a picnic here at noon today. ”

As he spoke, Shelley pointed, and in the distance, Gray saw that the four maids of the Grugru family had already laid out a mat on the grass and set up a sumptuous lunch.

"I have to eat in front of her?" Gray froze.

"Don't ask me how I got rid of six people, I don't know. The black cat muttered quietly.

......

The river flowed gently, and a dragonfly landed on the reeds by the river, shook slightly, and flew away again.

A cushion was laid over the small riverside turf, and Gray and Shelley sat against each other.

A sandwich was clamped, and Shelley handed it to Gray.

"Come, open your mouth, ah~"

There were five maids staring at Gray all around.

And that's not all, there are pedestrians in the distance.

"Isn't that Baron Gray and Miss Shelley?

"It looks like a good relationship. ”

"The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, it's really good. ”

"You've seen Baron Grey. ”

"I haven't seen it...... Hee-hee, why do you think I'm staring here?" the speaker snickered.

Yes, a large group of girls, mixed with some aunts, just waiting for Gray to lift his mask and look at his face.

Not only that, but just five meters from Gray, three artists had already set up their easels and were ready to start sketching. Here's an illustration for tomorrow's newspaper headlines.

All of them widened their eyes and craned their necks.

Gray's spine was cold.

"What to do?" Gray whispered to the black cat.

"How do I know what to do? "The black cat is numb.

After thinking about it, Gray could only say, "I'll do it myself!" and then took the sandwich, quickly lifted the mask and stuffed it in. Then he pretended to look left and right as if nothing had happened.

All of a sudden, everyone fell silent. Including Shelley.

"You eat so fast. ”

"Yes? I eat like this. ”

"Are you hungry?" it doesn't matter, I've prepared a lot!" Shelley smiled sweetly again, and graciously clipped the next piece and handed it over.

Everyone craned their necks again.

Gray repeats his old tricks! That's right! He's not afraid anymore!

Then the third, the fourth, a chicken leg, a whole pork leg, greens, all sorts of foods.

The black cats hiding in the armor were all buried by food.

"Have you ever wondered what it would be like to stuff so much food into your armor in this weather?"

"Won't you just eat it all?"

"Do you think a cat can finish eating?" said the black cat weakly.

The people who were waiting to see Gray's true face had already left disappointed, but Shelley looked even happier, and she said excitedly: "You have such a good appetite, our children in the future must be very healthy!"

Gray suddenly heard a topic that interested him. So, he took Shelley's hand and said, "Shelley, I have a question for you!"

"You say. ”

"How are we going to have children in the future?"

Hearing this, Shelley was shy, and his face was as red as an apple, and the head was lower and lower.

"You, you asked me this suddenly...... I, I don't know how to answer. Isn't it too early to talk about it?"

"Isn't it early? Didn't you just start?"

"Did I start it?"

"Of course, I heard it very clearly. ”

"Hmm...... Well, I'll get married, and then I'll have children. Shelley blinked at Gray.

Gray said seriously, "I think you misunderstood what I meant, I want to know the specifics." ”

"You, how 'specific' do you want to be?" Shelley was stunned.

"Just, the more specific, the better!"

"The more 'specific', the better?"

"Yes!" Gray nodded heavily.

Shelley's heart beat faster, her breathing was short, and she looked at Gray blankly, her face was hot, she bit her lip, and her brows were so frowning that she could wring out water. I couldn't speak for a long time.

But Gray was still staring at her, waiting for an answer. Not only that, but also kept waving her hand to signal her to hurry up and speak.

The two men looked at each other like this.

The five maidens on the side were so embarrassed that they didn't know where to look, and the lich still didn't know what embarrassment was.

After a while, Shelley finally couldn't take it anymore, she stood up suddenly, and said with a bitter face: "No, we can't talk about this topic yet!

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

The surrounding maids hurriedly chased after each other.

In the blink of an eye, Gray was the only one left on the lawn.

"She doesn't want to tell me, does she?"

"Yes. ”

"Why doesn't she want to tell me? Isn't this a serious topic? How can it be related to frivolity?"

"Yes, that's a serious topic indeed. Quite serious. The black cat, who has long been accustomed to it, has no fluctuations in his heart, and even wants to fall into the well.
