Chapter 25: The Visit
Kane walked around the academy for a long time, this academy was too big, and the buildings were relatively dense, and it seemed that every road was about the same, until he was dizzy and finally found his way out of the academy.
The Marquis of Bryn's Mansion is located in a relatively remote place in the northwest of Forey City, and the surrounding area is not as lively as other streets, and the Marquis House is not as luxurious as Kane imagined.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Leah in armor walking out, looking like he was going to the academy, and he saw Kane, there were no other buildings here except the Marquis's Palace, and he was mostly here to pay a visit.
"What are you doing here?" Leah frowned, wondering if this guy had been following me all along?
Kane smiled, "I haven't seen you in years, and it looks like you don't remember me anymore." β
Leah looked him up and down for a while, indeed a little familiar, but also vague, "Who are you?"
Kane walked up to her, looked at her beautiful face and smiled, "Do you see my head is bright?
"Huh?" Leah was stunned for a moment, looked at his blonde hair, and the image of a little boy suddenly appeared in her heart, "You are... Kane?"
Kane smiled and nodded, "I just arrived in Furui City, so thank you so much for talking about yesterday." β
As soon as she said this, Leah also remembered yesterday's events again, and Kane's eyes were a little weird, she used to slander the idiot who didn't know where the teenager came from yesterday, but she didn't expect it to be her fiancΓ©, to be honest, Lia wasn't particularly opposed to this marriage before, but now it seems that she may have to reconsider.
Kane looked a little uncomfortable for her, "I'm here to visit this time, I don't know if Grandma Serena is here, my grandfather has a letter for me to pass on to her." β
"Come with me. Leah looked at him again for a while before she said lukewarmly.
Kane was a little embarrassed to follow her in, and saw that the furnishings in the house were also very simple, a small yard was planted with many vines, and under a wooden frame, an old lady with silver hair was sitting on a chair reading a book, it was the long-lost Lady Serena.
Naturally, her age will not change much from back then, so Kane recognized it at a glance, and hurriedly walked up to salute, Serena was also a little strange to this young man at first, after all, Kane's change was really big, until Kane reported his identity, he didn't recognize him until he reported his identity, and pulled him to sit down happily, Leah was not in a hurry to go to the academy, and sat down on the side.
"I heard about your coming-of-age ceremony a while ago, but your Grandpa Brin is not here, and I can't go, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon, and I can't recognize you when you grow so big in a blink of an eye. Serena said with a friendly smile.
"I also just arrived, and this time I came alone, so there was a delay on the way. Kane had a good impression of the kind old lady.
"You're coming alone?" Serena was stunned, "Blair is too bad for this old thing, what if there is any accident on the road, I will ask him well next time we meet!"
Kane smiled, "Grandpa is also doing this to train me, I have the clan emblem on my body, and the journey has been smooth." β
Serena nodded, glanced at the two young men, and then said to Kane, "You can stay here, and I'll send someone to say hello from the academy." β
"Well, I've been to the academy before, but Dean Auston has asked me to stay in the academy for the time being, so....by the way, my grandfather has a letter for you. Kane saw Serena frown halfway through speaking, and quickly changed the topic, and took out the letter after speaking.
Serena's face was a little displeased, and she took the letter and read it, and Kane looked at Leah again, and saw that she was expressionless, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Selina read the letter slowly, "Your grandfather said he would come over in a while, and now that you are both grown up, it's time to talk about marriage." β
Kane and Leah were stunned at the same time, they both felt that it seemed too fast, this was the second time they had met, and they were still young, although there were many marriages at this age on the Wind Continent, but Kane felt that it was not the time to talk about marriage.
"That's... Let's wait for Grandpa and Grandpa Brin to come back... Besides, we're all young now. Kane felt that his brain was very slow to turn in the face of his elders, and he was really not used to this kind of communication.
Leah's face was still calm, and Kane thought that she had already accepted the marriage after all these years.
Serena smiled, "Since Auston arranged for you to live in the academy, I don't have much to say, in that case, why don't I let Leah live there tomorrow, you can cultivate more relationships, and you don't have to worry about marriage." β
"I don't like living in the Academy!" Kane was about to speak, but Leah, who had been silent, spoke first.
"Go, after all, you will be a member of the Rett family in the future, what are you doing here all day with my old wife, if you don't like to be noisy, then I will let Auston arrange a separate place for you to live. β
Leah frowned, "I don't want to marry yet." β
Serena's face also turned cold, "Nonsense, marriage is not a child's play, besides, an excellent child like Kane is not something that anyone can meet." β
"Excellent?" Leah looked at Kane a little speechlessly, this idiot can also be called excellent?
Kane also blushed, he was willing to stay here for a minute now, it was too torturous to talk to such an elder.
"That's... I've just enrolled, and I still have some things to take care of at the academy, so I'll come back to see you another day. β
Serena smiled, "It's okay, anyway, the days are still long, come and talk to me more in the future, Liya is still ignorant now, you don't have to take her words to heart." β
Kane nodded and stood up to say goodbye to her, and Serena pulled Leah over and told them to go to the academy together.
The two of them walked out slowly, the atmosphere was awkward, and Kane thought to himself that he would never come back unless he had to, it was too uncomfortable.
"I'll tell you, it's okay to move in together, but I will never marry you until I graduate!" said Lia angrily as soon as the two of them left.
"Graduation? Are you talking about you graduating or am I graduating?" Kane thought to himself, you think I'd like to marry you now.
"Of course it's you! If you can't even be a high-level magician, I won't agree to anything grandpa says!" Leah grew angry.
Kane made a nonchalant expression, and the two began to fall silent, but the look at Yari showed that she was still sulking.
"Miss Leah. Suddenly, there was a shout from the side.
The two stopped, and Kane turned his head to see a richly dressed man standing next to him, who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, like some aristocratic son.
When Liya saw the man, she looked disgusted, "What are you doing again?"
The man seemed to be the only one in his eyes, completely ignoring Kane on the side, only to see him walking over with a beautiful long box in his hand, followed by a few attendants.
"I have a gift for you. As he spoke, he opened the box, and when Kane looked inside, he saw a long sword of fine workmanship, which was made of steel of great value, judging by the sheen on it.
Liya snorted disdainfully, but the man didn't care about her face at all, "This is what I specially asked someone to bring back from the Eli Empire to give to you, it is made of the best dragon soul steel, the craftsmanship of the elf clan, I believe that wearing it will make the young lady more noble and beautiful!"
Leah was angry at this time, but when she saw Kane next to her, who had a calm face, she had an idea in her heart, "Thank you for your kindness, but I wonder if you are interested in meeting an old friend?"
"Old friend?" the man's face was overjoyed when he saw Leah accepting his kindness, but he was stunned when he heard the words.
Leah turned to Kane and smiled, "I wonder if you remember your Son Allen from Honoris City?"
"Alan?" Kane was stunned, of course he remembered that the eldest son of the Sith family, the self-proclaimed knight, had just not seen him for so many years, but he didn't expect to meet him here, and looking at his current appearance, he seemed to be less and less like a knight.
"Your Excellency...?" Alan also looked at Kane curiously.
Leah smiled, "Don't the sons of the two families in Gnoris City know each other?"
Saying this, Alan couldn't help but be surprised, "You're Kane Reiter!"
Kane smiled, ignoring Allen's somewhat hateful eyes, and bowed slightly, "I don't usually go out, please forgive me." β
Alan is still stunned, and he naturally knows about Kane and Leah's marriage contract, but it can be seen from today's actions that maybe his actions back then were not out of childish innocence, Kane was also very surprised by this, this guy's persistence is really admirable.
But to be honest, Kane doesn't take him seriously now, he can't even tell himself how he feels about Leah or this marriage now, Kane feels that if it weren't for this marriage, maybe he and Leah would never have gotten together, and the two look like people from two worlds.
Besides, even if Kane likes Leah very much now and approves of this marriage very much, then the love rival he will face will not be this Allen, but the two princes of the royal family, and Allen can be completely ignored when compared with them.
