Chapter 503: Persuasion
"Alas......"
The Queen's carriage slowly drove away from the Stirling family's mansion, leaving only a sigh.
In the mansion, the loud noise made from the coffee table on the ground after being kicked by Ethan knocked over the sofa frightened Arlene, who had been crying, choked violently and looked at her son in disbelief.
At this time, Ethan stood in front of the sofa with backlight, and his side face was scattered with mottled shadows of trees passing through the window, and the shadows of the trees that kept swaying in the breeze made the faint light reflected in his black pupils seem to be clearly extinguished.
He just stood with his head hanging slightly, his shoulders slightly undulating, and his fists hanging at his side clenched, but Arlene, who was looking at him with wide open eyes, couldn't make a sound for a while.
I don't know how long it took for Ethan to look up at Arlene again, his eyes were a little trance, as if he was looking at something through Arlene, but Arlene looked at her son who had no deterrent effect at this moment, but the smooth run on his face had completely disappeared, and his heart was cold.
Without him, it was only because of Ethan's appearance at that time that Arlene looked too much like his father, the male who looked at her with the same expression after a big fight with her when she took Camilla out of the territory.
The long silence made Ethan's face completely disappear into the shadows, Arlene also sat on the sofa in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, the housekeeper came a few times, but he didn't come in, and even the servants were driven back to their respective residences by the housekeeper, which also made the mansion, which was not lively on weekdays, seem more and more deserted.
"Hey, big brother, aunt, you ......"
Camilla, dressed in a fancy suit, broke the silence of the room, and made Ethan, who was standing in the hall like a sculpture, finally turn his stiff neck.
"Go up and pack your things. Ethan commanded in a hoarse, deep voice that Camilla had never heard.
"Pack up your things?" Camilla was a little confused, and subconsciously looked at Arlene, although her aunt was a little mean to her in words, but compared to other cousins who didn't even want to talk to her when they were in the territory, they were much better, except for the etiquette requirements, they wouldn't always take care of that.
Hearing this, Arlene did look at her son in disbelief, and her lips trembled slightly and asked:
"You're trying to drive me away?!"
"Mother thinks too much, you are the Marquise of Latour, the mistress of the city of Latour, and it is not appropriate to be away for too long. ”
Ethan's voice was still a little hoarse, but Arlene was his mother in the end, and although the words she spoke, although they were a little formulaic, they were less impatient and a little more restrained when facing Camilla, but they were still not to be refused.
"You still know that I am a marquise, so do you know that I am not only a marquise, but also your mother? Who taught you to speak to me in such a tone?!"
I don't know if it was Ethan's restraint that gave Arlene confidence, she stood up suddenly, glared at Ethan angrily and asked.
Ethan's already suppressed heart fire was ignited in an instant, and he raised his eyes to Arlene's gaze, gritted his teeth and said:
"I'm an adult!
"Then you are also my son!" Arlene raised her chin slightly, and used her only remaining impeccable demeanor that belonged to a noble lady to hide the uneasiness in her heart, facing this son who was suddenly unusual.
Ethan looked at Arlene in disbelief when he heard this, and for a long time, he suddenly laughed at himself, sat down on his hair and said with a little weakness:
"Maybe since you came to the royal city, I shouldn't have the illusion that you still have control over me. For the sake of you giving birth to me and raising me for seven years, Mother, I beg you, go back!"
"I ......"
"Eh, you can't, you can't go in!"
Arlene opened her mouth to say something more, but was interrupted by the butler's sudden exclamation, and the three people in the living room almost instantly turned their attention to the direction of the door outside the hall.
Entering was a group of males and females, led by a bear clan who looked nearly middle-aged, close to two and a half meters tall, with a very rough appearance, and a short and fat butler who wanted to block his way, just like a joke.
"Locke Vito has seen Master Stirling, may the gods bless him. ”
Locke stood outside the living room with someone, and after glancing at the overturned coffee table and porcelain fragments scattered on the ground in the living room with an expressionless face, he saluted Ethan respectfully, but before Ethan could speak, he had already straightened up, raised his hand and waved behind him,
"Send Miss Sterling up to pack up her things, and be careful. ”
"Yes. The two small maids followed Locke's words, stepped out of the people he had brought, came to Camilla's side with a dull face, and one of them took Camilla by one of her arms, and led her upstairs.
When Camilla reacted and wanted to struggle, she was shocked to find that she couldn't break free from the clamps of these two seemingly petite but powerful maids.
"Who are you?!Let go of me!You dare to go wild in the marquis's mansion, can't you go crazy?!Big brother, save me!"
Listening to Camila open her voice and shout, no longer speaking in her usual contrived voice, Ethan only turned her head to glance at Locke and the waiters with golden studs on their ears who followed Locke in, but she didn't intend to help at all.
"Those two maids are a little stupid, and I ask Young Master Sterling to forgive me. Locke spoke at the right time, with a stiff face and a straight tone.
"Who gave you the audacity to trespass into the Marquis's mansion, butler, tell someone to blast them out for me!" Seeing that Locke didn't even pay attention to himself when he entered the door, Arlene reacted with hindsight and ordered menacingly.
But the housekeeper, who has always been obedient, didn't even move at this time, and his fat body was in a corner of the door of the living room, hanging his head slightly, like a dummy.
Seeing the housekeeper's anger surging up like this, Arlene's whole body trembled with anger, and her face was a little distorted, pointing at the housekeeper and scolding: "Damn, are you deaf?!"
"That's enough, Mother, don't you see yet? they're Luna's men! they won't listen to the butler, let alone you, and the guards won't dare to do anything with them even if they come in!" Ethan said in a voice that couldn't hide his exhaustion.
"Then you, you let them go!" Arlene consciously looked at the group behind Locke, the earrings that lit up with golden light in the afterglow of the setting sun, and finally cleverly grasped the loophole in Ethan's words.
"I came to persuade my mother to go back, and since my mother would not listen to me, there is nothing wrong with my cousin's people persuading me to do it for me. ”
After the words fell, Ethan stood up, looked at Locke a few times, and asked,
"What did my cousin tell me? Now that it's sunset, can you let my mother and them go tomorrow?"
Locke's face turned slightly red when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Your Highness only said, let us personally watch the Marquise Latour and Miss Stirling leave the royal city, and if necessary, help them pack up their things, and as for the rest, it is all up to you, young master, to arrange. ”
