It is no accident that the Robertson family has been able to occupy a top spot in Scotland, where there are many wealthy families. Lord Robertson Sr., the founder of the family's glory, embraced the principles of pragmatism. Whether it's friendship or love, whether it's the land or the knights under him, it's just a bargaining chip for politics and interests.

Even, the elder Robertson wrote the definition of marriage into "God Bless Robertson's Family History":

What is Marriage? My dear children, don't be stupid! Marriage is the intersection of two intersecting lines. Just like a quilt, it doesn't matter what the style is, but it has to be warm.

************

Emily's heart was turned upside down, she felt deceived, insulted, and damaged. She should never fall victim to the interests of the family, although she knew the family's holy book by heart. Scripture - "The History of the Robertson Family of God".

When this kind of thing really happens to you, you can't accept it willingly no matter what. Especially when she thought of the fat, greedy, and powerful cousin of the Prince, Emily was so cold that she felt like she had fallen into the ice polar region of 10,000 years.

Emily raised her head, her cold eyes like a sharp knife, and a knife slashed the faces of these elders and knights.

looked at his father, who was snorting slightly and full of entanglement, he was so cowardly at the moment.

Gerald, the kind old butler who sat beside him, did not say a word, and was overwhelmed by the pressure of the "big man" of the family.

Griff, who was usually respectful to himself and even a little admired, had a fleeting look of resentment, and quickly turned his face away.

It was James Knight, who was panting in a hurry, and his eyes seemed to be on fire. But he tried to open his mouth several times to speak, but finally gave up. James understood that this kind of decision was not something he, a knight who worked for the Robertson family, could discuss or decide.

Emily almost cried when she saw the oriental lad sitting at the far end of the table.

At this moment, Dai Lan lazily leaned back on the wide, high-back French oak seat, yawning from time to time. Slender fingers intertwined and gently rubbed. His eyes were blurred, as if he couldn't figure out what the topic of the meeting was discussing.

"This guy is completely like a different person! Where's that responsible young man who accompanied me to Lucer last time! Emily's head was cold, as if someone had been drained of her blood, and she gradually became numb.

She needed someone to take her side so much. Even a word against their proposal may not change the outcome in the end.

For some reason, Emily's eyes saw the figure of a magician in a black robe with an old voice. It was the elemental mage who brought them hope and shock in the secret room of the Debroie Tavern!

Emily suddenly felt that being by the side of that elemental mage was the most secure moment in her years.

Don't look at living in Celtic Castle, her father is an earl, a knight of glory, and a dozen knights to escort him, but Emily doesn't get even the security of a pinpoint.

And an old magician, who was strange and didn't even know what she looked like, could give her a moment of safety.

At this moment, everyone has different calculations in their hearts, and no one speaks.

Outside the window, the noisy cries of crows annoyed.

Count Jonad poured down the fine Highland black tea in one gulp, but his mouth was full of bitterness.

Elder Ferrero secretly gave Griff a look and crooked the corners of his mouth.

Griff understood, extremely reluctant but unable to do so, and he knew that his duties as a subordinate should always take precedence over his own preferences. It only took a second to adjust his mood, raised his arm to signal, and said in a calm tone: "Patriarchs, elders, Miss Emily is smart, and Prince Tudor is wise and rich in the world, this marriage is very suitable." ”

Emily glared at Griff, her pink lips almost bitten and bleeding.

Count Jonad's mind was still wandering, and he did not speak. However, the scales are clearly tilted to one side.

Elder Ferrero smiled, "Griff is really a loyal servant of our Robertson family, and he thinks about the family at every turn. I think it's time to think about his promotion. Of course, we will have to wait until the Prince's visit has passed. ”

Ferrero was cunning and cunning, and deliberately said in a serious tone: "My dear patriarch, don't you still understand the situation of our Robertson family? Because the delivery of iron swords and armor was not timely enough, King Keller mentioned several times that he would replace the Jacobs family with this business. If it weren't for Prince Ferrado's words of kindness for us, the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”

The second elder who has not spoken, the Glory Knight Hook. Robertson also knocked on the side: "The family has two major inputs." Land taxes and ironware. Recently, the taxes of those wicked people have become more and more difficult to collect. If you lose your iron tools again, hehe......"

"Miss, what is your opinion?" Gerald, the old butler, made a final struggle for Emily, "After all, I have to ask your opinion!" ”

In this atmosphere of public view, what can Emily say. Tears rolled in his eyes, trying to blink to keep them from staying.

"What can Emily say! Marriage has always been a matter of those of us who are elders. Elder Galero's face sank, "Can I still harm this niece who I grew up watching!" ”

Gerald shook his head slightly, silent.

Count Jonad sighed, waved his hand, stopped the discussion, and said to Gerald, "What the elders said also makes sense. Go ahead and prepare for the affair, remember, you can't be too hasty with Prince Fedora's side. ”

When Emily heard this, she seemed to have lost all her strength, and sat in a daze on the wide high-backed chair that symbolized the family's rights.

"Smack!"

A crisp sound came from the end of the table, attracting everyone's attention.

The oriental young man, the punishment knight Dai Lan, gently grabbed the teacup in front of him, let go and fell to the ground, splashing all over the ground.

In the shock of everyone, Dai Lan gently dusted off a little dust on his chest with his right hand, and said lukewarmly: "The entire family, dozens of knights up and down, but they have to rely on a girl to protect them. I said, "Elder Galiro, you're really good!" ”

"You!" Galero was on fire for nothing, he had never been so humiliated on his own turf. Qi and blood flowed, and a red halo immediately circled around Galiro. This is the highest level of swordsmanship of the Glory Knight, and you can send out sword qi to hurt people's lives with a single hand.

"Patriarch Jonad, in the history of our Robertson family, there has never been a servant who can stand up to the elders. What do you think about this matter? "In the end, it was a treacherous and cunning, Galero calmed down and threw this problem to the old lord.

Speaking for his daughter, Jonad's heart naturally rose with gratitude. But standing in the shoes of an old politician, it is more important to protect the dignity of yourself and your family.

"Enough! Shut up! After a moment of silence, Jonad slapped the table hard, and a light blue air mass appeared behind him, forming a tiger head with angry eyes, a million majesty.

The room fell silent for a moment, and looking around, Count Jonad's cold voice echoed: "Since Emily was born in the Robertson family, she must consider the whole family. Gerald, it's up to you to prepare for the affair. Dai Lan, do you still have me as an earl in your eyes? You will be fined two months' salary, forbidden to attend the Prince's visit and reception, and you will not be allowed to attend high-level family meetings in the future! ”

Dai Lan still has that elegant, superior expression. He didn't even look at everyone, except for a smile at Emily, revealing a row of white teeth.

This kind of smile is like a April day in the world, warm.

Dai Lan stood up, bowed half a salute to the old man, and turned away.

Emily looked at Dai Lan's distant back, and for some reason, a hot liquid kept rolling down from her blue eyes......
