Chapter Ninety-Four: The Troubled Brother

When the vow in her heart had been silently recited for the twelfth time, Miss Margaret stood in front of the door of the dining-room.

She stopped the head maid from opening the door for her, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath to make sure she was ready for battle.

The Bavarian family had a custom of having breakfast together, but since the death of the Duchess, her mother, the Grand Duke of France had not fulfilled this custom for a long time, because he could not get up by noon of his own will without an emergency. Today, she and her brother are the only ones who are still being asked by the Grand Duke to continue this custom, which is called the cultivation of family affection.

"This is a hellish family relationship!"

Miss Qianjin, who had no idea that the duke was already in the office with gray hair, cursed fiercely, gritted her teeth, and prepared to push the door in. However, before she could raise her hand, the door of the restaurant was pulled open from the inside.

Behind the door was a handsome young man with red hair, who, like Margaret, had inherited her mother's hair color, and her own brother, Claire Bavaria.

"Oh, Margaret, my dear sister, you are here. As soon as she saw her sister, Claire had a bright smile on her face. He had already sensed the girl's arrival from the sudden cessation of footsteps, and guessed the reason for her hesitation outside the door. In this regard, he could only secretly smile bitterly in his heart, and took the initiative to open the door and welcome the other party in.

"Good morning, Claire. ”

The girl, who had never called him brother, bowed her head slightly, and swept the corner of her eye to the table behind him. He knew what she was looking for, she was looking for the frog who was sitting at the table enjoying breakfast. It's just that, apparently, her target discovered her one step before her!

(Good morning, Miss Margaret)"

An incongruous voice rang out in the cafeteria, and Claire immediately saw her sister Han Mao stand up, and subconsciously took a half step back, obviously startled.

"Oh, don't be afraid, Tours just wanted to say hello to you. He hurriedly comforted the girl who was leaning back, and then immediately turned his head and complained to the frog on the table, "Tours, you scared my sister. ”

"Quack, quack, quack...... (Oh, sorry, I don't want to, but you see, I'm the way I am...... )”

The frog retracted its raised right forelimb and pressed it against its head, making a very humane gesture of touching its head.

"You even named it?"

Behind her, the girl's voice of disbelief came, and Claire turned her head to find that her sister had retreated out the door, looking at her as if she was looking at a psychopath!

"No, I didn't name him......"

Claire defended herself in a very soft voice, and finally "invited" her sister to the table. Seeing the girl half-sitting on the chair, staring at the frog on the other side of the table, looking ready to get up and run away at any moment, he couldn't help but sigh.

Asking a young girl to kiss an ugly frog did seem to be too much for her.

Even if his request is really for the sake of "business"!

The entire Grand Duke's Mansion didn't know that he, the eldest young master who liked to "mess around", awakened a unique mental image when he was twelve years old - he knew the language!

With the power of this mental image, he could read and understand any kind of words and language, even the incomprehensible roars of animals, which would be translated into words in his ears that he could understand.

This mental image is a natural adventurous and freedom-loving person who is ecstatic. However, he suppressed this joy and hid his awakened mental image from anyone.

Because......

He looked across the long table and looked at the girl who had finally picked up her hot hand, but was still on guard against the frog, with a gentle smile in his eyes.

Because he already has a good enough sister, a sister who wants to be able to prove himself in front of his father. As an ambitious older brother, he only longs for freedom and adventure, not to become a duke who seems to be a high position but has no freedom at all, like his father. Since he has a sister who is far more suitable for inheriting the family than himself, why don't he make way for the other party.

He just wants to make his father hate him more and more and value his sister more, so that he can get out of this seemingly gorgeous but dirty circle!

The world regards him as a fool, but he knows that he is not pretending to be crazy and stupid, and showing it to this group of fools?

It's a pity that the person he wants to be able to deceive the most is not fooled, and the more he messes around, the more his father loves him, as if this old fox has already smelled something unusual, and has seen through all his tricks, which makes him feel powerless.

He shook his head with a wry smile and turned his gaze back to his friend, who had only been rescued a few days earlier, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

The "Frog Prince" is just a rumor he casually invented, but he really doesn't lie when he fights wits with witches. Hiding the truth in a lie, and imposing a lie on the truth, only then can he deceive the most dangerous enemy - the witch from the Black Balance Society!

Great evil has lurked in the shadows of the Holy White City, and the witch from the Black Balance Society has become a thriving among the nobles with her hands full of "rare treasures". The people who sang and danced were ignorant of the danger in front of them, and the exhortations of their "fools" not only did no one believe them, but they were more likely to lead to death.

He didn't know why Crimson would ignore the witch, but he knew he couldn't let the other person know who she was until he was prepared.

He needed a proof to win his father's trust and the priests of the Red Lotus Temple, but the only proof was a frog, who would believe the "testimony" of a frog?

Therefore, he must make Tours turn back into human form in full view of everyone, so that he can truly convince others that the "witch" really exists, and that Sersi has arrived in the city!

In the Empire's database, the information of several dangerous people in the Black Balance Society may not be complete, but there are quite a few. In the past few days, he has hurriedly consulted many books, and finally learns that Sercy's mental image is derived from the description of witches in fairy tales.

What is the way to unlock the curse of the frog prince?

That's right!

It's a princess's kiss.......

Truth be told, there's no worse answer!

Looking at the haggard girl on the other side of the long table, the son of the distressed and helpless duke couldn't help but feel a little unbearable, did he force himself too hard, but if he told her the truth, would this sister, who had always treated him as a "fool", really believe what he said?

He couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

Forget it, let's relax her a little bit today.

Thinking so, Claire slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

"Margaret, do you want to take an airship?"
