At night, there is silence around the small lake with the sparkling moonlight on the surface.

Silently hiding in a remote corner, facing the eternal night sky above his head, Ulysses, who usually deliberately showed his strength everywhere, finally took off all his masks and covers.

His eyes were slightly red, his eyes were blank, and his slightly immature face was full of grief and indignation.

He hated, he hated why this world was going to treat him like this, he hated Dries for pressing every step of the way, he hated the king's ruthless judgment, he hated the indifference of those relatives and friends in the past, and he even hated his grandfather for why he wanted to die in a distant fortress......

For what? Why am I going to bear this? For what?

His hands were stuck in the grass and clenched, his nails that had not been trimmed for many days were covered with dirt, and the boy who had suffered for the past two years was almost unable to withstand the successive blows of bad luck.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure flashed through her mind, but Ulysses became even more angry, and today she actually saw her embarrassed appearance!

What qualifications do you have to face her in the future?

After working hard for so long, he didn't even feel the omen of divine awakening, maybe he didn't have this talent at all, but if he couldn't become a strong man to wash the shame of the family, then why did he have to live so painfully?

Thinking of this, the young man actually stood up suddenly, his eyes fell on the lake in front of him, and he walked forward step by step.

"Hey, hey, you just suffered such a little grievance and don't want to live?"

Xia Dong, who was hiding in the shadows, finally couldn't continue to be a bystander, so he had to reluctantly appear to stop the other party's move, he didn't expect this little guy to be so vulnerable, if you really talk about it, the other party's current situation is much better than when he first arrived in this world, at least the other party still has no worries about food and clothing, just with the eight hundred gold coins he got from selling his ancestral home, this guy is enough even if he mixes for a lifetime.

His sudden appearance apparently startled Ulysses, who saw the burly boy turn around sharply and ask aloud with a frightened face, "Who are you?" ”

Touching his chin, Xia Dong looked each other up and down, compared to when they first met during the day, the current teenager is a little more aristocratic and elegant, plus the body is tall and well-proportioned, if you don't pay attention to the bruises on your face, you are actually a beautiful young man with a good demeanor, and probably because of the experience in recent years, the other party still has a little melancholy that seems to be nothing, no wonder he can have the rare talent of eating soft rice.

Presumably, the extremely powerful eldest princess was inspired by him to the so-called maternal love, right? Xia Dong, who was full of gossip and bad taste, guessed so.

"Hello? Who the hell are you? Somewhat creepy at his gaze, Ulysses couldn't help but strike his hands into a standard stance while questioning again.

Gathering his thoughts, Xia Dong shrugged his shoulders slightly, "My name is Chardon, and I have a bit of a friendship with your grandfather, so let's see how you are now, but it seems that I came at a bad time?" ”

Although the young man's eyes suddenly burst into a look of strong anticipation when he first heard this, he quickly lowered his head again and replied in a stubborn voice: "I'm fine, I don't need you to care." ”

Death to save face and suffer guilt was the first thought that flashed through Xia Dong's heart, but he could also understand the other party's current mentality, so he tried to make his attitude more gentle and kind, "Child, I know that you have suffered a lot of sins before, but don't worry, I promised your grandfather to take care of you as much as possible......"

"Who wants you to care? I'm alive and well now, so you can go back somewhere! The young man didn't know what was going on, and suddenly he couldn't hold back his emotions, and he broke out so suddenly.

Looking at each other with pity in his eyes, Xia Dong thought for a while, and suddenly turned around, "Boy, if you really want to regain everything you have lost, if you want to surprise those who look down on you, and if you want to stand in front of that eldest princess in a dignified manner, I will give you a chance, come to see me in the afternoon of three days in the afternoon where your grandfather used to be, remember, you only have this one chance." ”

Watching Xia Dong's figure slowly disappear into the darkness, Ulysses's face was distorted and struggling, and he didn't know what he was thinking......

Three days later, Charlton House, back garden.

Xia Dong, who was lazily leaning back in his chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and in this suddenly sunny weather after a long period of gloom, it was really easy for people to feel drowsy.

Opposite him, Minaya, who maintained the graceful manners of a lady, was sitting elegantly with a white glazed porcelain cup, sipping flower tea.

In the Fairmont Kingdom, there are thirty-two different kinds of different flower teas that are popular, and according to the request of the full-time tutor Mei Li, in addition to understanding the origin of these flower teas, the girl must also learn to taste the difference between the advantages and disadvantages, so the poor girl has to take turns tasting a large number of different flower teas every day during this time, and even Xia Dong sometimes feels deep sympathy for its misery.

"The fragrance is long, light and sweet, this is the night language." With a feeling of trepidation, Minaya spoke her judgment while trying to pray that nothing had gone wrong, otherwise she would have to drink several times as much tea today.

Hearing her answer, Mei Li, who was still full of charm, was silent for a moment with a serious face, and then nodded slightly in the girl's frightened eyes, "Miss guessed right." ”

Energetically waving her little fist twice, Minaya just wanted to cheer, but immediately realized the gaffe, so she quickly looked at the darkened teacher in fear, playfully stuck out her little tongue, and returned to the standard sitting position.

Looking at her funny, Xia Dong shook his head slightly without a trace, it is difficult for this girl, who has been wild for more than ten years, but suddenly has to get used to everything completely unfamiliar in a few months.

But there is no way to do it, he doesn't want Minaya to become a hillbilly despised by most nobles in the future.

"Sir, there is a young master Ulysses visiting outside, he said that he has an appointment with you, do you have time to meet with him?" Ray Moore, the increasingly stern housekeeper, suddenly walked into the garden and bowed down in front of Xia Dong to ask for instructions.

is the so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, although Xia Dongming's identity on his face is not amazing, but as he has refused countless large and small contacts for the master these days, and secretly found someone to understand the origin of the bishop's badge, Ray Moore is now more and more confident, and even began to have his own style when facing many visitors.

In fact, if it weren't for the faint feeling that there was a relationship between Ulysses and Xia Dong, it would not have been his turn to personally report such a trivial matter.

With a slight smile, Xia Dong nodded, "Let him wait in the study first, and I'll come over later." He didn't have any trouble with this boy, and he didn't want to overwhelm people, but he knew very well how rebellious a boy at this age was, and if he couldn't completely suppress the other party at the beginning, he was afraid that he would have a headache in the future.
