Chapter 511: Let's Talk
Since Silas decided to send Jack to Harris City, Olivia and Luna's mother and daughter have been busy, and of course, Silas, who proposed to "leave her son far away", was naturally resisted by the mother and daughter.
Looking at Silas, who was sitting behind the desk, although he was still the same as always, but in the small details of his clothes, he was no longer a perfect score, Howard couldn't help but sigh again.
"If you're short of breath, go to the doctor!" Silas looked up at the sound of reluctance.
"How many days have you been in the break room?" Howard asked, lifting his eyelids and landing his gaze on a tuck of folds at the hem of Silas' clothes.
Although Silas had to meet with the ministers every day, he was clever enough to stagger the clothes he wore and wear them the next day, and the king's formal attire was almost the same, so the ministers who came to report on official business did not notice anything unusual.
But after all, Howard follows Silas every day, and such a small detail may be able to be confused for three or two days, but it will take a little longer, so naturally it can't be hidden.
Silas was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then pursed his lips and said very unceremoniously, "It has nothing to do with you." ”
"In the past, you and Olivia had quarrels, and she had never relaxed about food and clothing. Aren't you really going to explain this time?" Howard was completely indifferent to Silas's cold words.
"Have you been idle lately?" Silas frowned at Howard.
"You know you're going to push them all away. Howard frowned at Silas.
"They've all grown up. Silas was silent for a moment, then dropped the pen in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and muttered in a low voice.
"But that doesn't mean they don't need their father anymore, it's obviously for their good deeds, what do you want to do like this?" remember the ...... between you and the old king" Howard rarely spoke once, and planned to say a few words.
"Howard!" Silas snorted, interrupting Howard's unfinished words.
"You're not your father, Charles and the three siblings aren't the same you used to be, not to mention Olivia is your partner!" Howard said as Silas sipped for a moment, but still insisted.
"You should probably go back and ask your eldest brother what kind of mood he felt when he stepped on your father's bruised claws when the title was changed. Neil, do you remember why you didn't go back to the title change challenge?"
Silas slowly stood up, walked over to the couch and sat down, then lay flat on his back, looking at the intricately patterned roof, his voice slightly drifting.
Howard pursed his lips when he heard this, his thoughts drifted a little away for a moment, but he didn't answer.
Silas didn't expect him to speak, but continued to mumble to himself:
"I thought I was going to be different from that old guy, even after Charles was born, after Jack and Luna were born.
But it wasn't until they grew up that I realized that I was still too naïve back then.
Neil, they're royalty, just like Samuel and I did.
It's ridiculous to say that it seems that a royal family like us has had everything since birth, but only at some point will we understand that we are not as good as those nobles who have their own fiefs.
One day they will need to rely on the power they have saved up to get what they want, or a higher status, and then there will be no more me.
As for Olivia, as long as I don't die, I'll do my best to make up for her ...... for the rest of my life."
"You're in your early forties. Howard's face was slightly moved.
"When my father went to the Far North, he was less than fifty years old, and it was more than twenty years...... I'll tell you the truth, I'm losing sight of what he looks like now......" Silas said in an unusually calm tone.
"The old king and queen have had a good life over the years. Howard said.
"It's icy and snowy, you can't even see any green, who knows?" said Silas with a smile as he looked at the roof.
"You're thinking too much. Howard was silent for a moment, then sat down on the side of the couch and looked at Silas and said.
"That's my destiny after all!How can I not want to?How about I give you a position as an auxiliary minister?When the time comes, whoever drives me out of the royal city, you can help me to deal with him!" Silas suddenly turned his head to look at Howard with great interest.
At the mention of the Auxiliary Minister, Howard's mind irrepressibly appeared with the wrinkled old face of Lord Shoufu, his face distorted for a moment, and he said coldly: "You are enough!"
Silas sneered and said, "Although you don't say it, in fact, your family didn't seem to be close to anyone because of your coldest temperament, but your father's favorite thing is you, that's why you didn't go back back then, right?"
"No, you don't. Howard was stunned for a moment, and said stiffly.
"Say whatever you want, but I don't need Charles and his siblings to have any unbearable feelings towards me. Silas said, putting one hand on his forehead and closing his eyes.
"If you continue like this, no one will pity you then!" Howard frowned and said honestly thinking of what Silas had done in the past few years and the trouble he had caused to the three Charles siblings.
The corners of Silas' mouth couldn't help but hook up when he heard this, "That's just ......"
Knowing that he couldn't be persuaded, Howard didn't continue, but saw that Silas was not a problem at all, so he got up and walked into the lounge, gathered up all the clothes scattered on the chaise longue in the lounge, and walked out with his arms.
The study was completely quiet because of Howard's departure, and Silas slowly opened his eyes and blinked a few times before getting up again, sitting back at his desk, picking up the pen again, and replying to the endless official documents day after day.
Howard leaves the study with a pile of dirty laundry and collides just around the corner with Luna, who is returning with someone.
Seeing the familiar pile of dirty clothes in Howard's arms, Luna pursed her lips, but finally paused and whispered, "Susie." ”
Susie followed Luna's gaze when she heard the voice, and immediately understood, and quickly greeted her, "Lord Howard, leave these to me!"
Howard looked up at Luna for a moment, then paused before shoving the pile of dirty laundry to Susie.
Susie reluctantly took the pile of dirty clothes, and with the help of a maid, turned and went straight to the laundry room.
"Talk?" Luna waited for Susie to leave with the maid before she walked up to Howard's side and paused.
"Good. Thinking of Silas in the study, Howard bowed his head slightly, and followed Luna as she stepped forward again.
