Guarding the square table in the foyer, Rausis, with a bandage around his torso, sat opposite his father, Paliusis.

After enduring his father's sharp gaze for a while, Rausis confirmed that he already knew about the incident at dusk, and finally couldn't help but speak, "I'm sorry, father. ”

"For what?"

"At dusk, I lost to that kid and disgraced you. ”

"Alas!" said Palyusis, sighing in disappointment, "you can't grasp the essence of the problem, Rausis. What you have embarrassed me about is your incompetence and attitude towards the eldest lady. ”

"Father!" said Rausis, a little unacceptable. "If it's the former, I'll admit it. At that time, I was reckless, and I didn't know how many pounds and taels I had. But I don't think I'm wrong with Barrett's attitude! I've always demanded myself as her betrothed, doing everything I can not behave in a disproportionate manner. Can't I ask her to be the same as my betrothed to be true to herself!"

"That's the attitude that's problematic, Rausis. How meaningful do you think the term 'betrothed' is?"

"Since it is agreed that the relationship will be combined one day, of course it is very important!"

"Wrong! The betrothed person is not as important as you say! At best, it is just to let Barriet prioritize you when choosing a partner, so that she will pay more attention to you than other boys! You still don't get anything, and there is no essential difference between you and other suitors! If you don't fight for it, the marriage contract is just a piece of paper!"

Listening to his father's reprimand, and recalling the shock he had received at dusk, Rausis suddenly felt fear.

"So, what does Barrett say today......"

"Don't worry. After the beating, Palyusis turned to comfort, "I think that's just a momentary anger from the eldest lady." And although Barriet is a good girl, what a noble person she is, even if she likes people, people don't necessarily look down on her. You still have a chance. ”

"So, father, what should I do?"

"Think about this kind of thing!"

Paliusis shouted so hard that Rausis did not dare to ask again. However, although Paliusis said this, he did not mean to ignore it completely.

In fact, the marriage contract relationship is also a relatively strong bond, as long as there is a relationship, not to mention that it can reduce a lot of competitors, even among those who dare to compete, Rausis also has the advantage of being "recognized" by both parents.

Of course, the premise is that the relationship can be maintained.

At this time, for the first time, Paliusis seriously thought about the gossip among the villagers against his father and son, and thought about the bad results that might occur if this trend continued. Not for the sake of their own status and interests, but for the sake of their son.

......

The twilight incident, caused by Igarashi Suke, Barrett, and Rausis, is destined to be a big talk from house to house tonight. Even more so since the Ayilid family has Arreas, an admirer of Barrite, present.

"I think Rausis is done this time. After relaying what he heard to his parents, Arreas inevitably said with some schadenfreude. Seeing that his number one rival in love all the time was deflated, he was naturally happy.

"The same cannot be said. "I think the eldest lady is talking angrily, and the village chief and Paliusis are cautious about their personal relationship, and Paliusis even privately says that the village chief is his only confidant, and this marriage can be blown so easily." ”

"Dad, what you are talking about is the friendship between Uncle the village chief and Uncle Paliusis, and in the end marriage is our juniors' own business. And you don't know, I heard from those who saw that the young nobleman had almost touched Barrett's whole body. Can he touch it if he doesn't like it? Can Barrett let him touch it if he doesn't like it?"

Saying this, Arreas also frowned unhappily, but at the moment his main concern was to stomp on Rausis.

"What tongues do children chew on! As you just said, they're training Barrett. When I teach you archery, don't you also pull your posture inch by inch!"

When his father said this, Arreas was really speechless to refute it.

"In short, I think Barrett and Rausis are going to blow. ”

It's not that you think, it's that you want to, right?

Looking at her son's pouting appearance, Ayilid couldn't help but think to herself. His son, could he not understand what had been going on all along?

With this thought at this, Ayilid spoke tentatively.

"Arreas, what if...... I mean, if you were given an equal chance to pursue Barrett, would you want it? Not that you would marry Barrett, but just a chance. ”

"Daddy, aren't you knowingly asking? Barrett is the first dream of the boys in the village, who doesn't want this kind of opportunity?"

"Leave it alone and say you want it or not?"

"Yes, of course!" said Arreas, not knowing what his father was thinking, but just matter-of-fact.

Seeing his son so excited, the scales in Ayilaide's heart inevitably deviated. Not for himself, but for his son.

......

After dinner, Chai Mod arrived at Siriopala's house as promised. The two sat down at the table in the foyer and discussed as representatives what to do with Paliusis.

"First of all, at least Paliusis, the captain of the guard, can't do it any longer!" After talking about the current situation, Chaimaud finally gave a formal opinion.

"Hmm. Siriopala nodded in agreement, "That's the bottom line, otherwise wouldn't it be like no punishment?"

"Secondly, his son Rausis could not succeed him as captain of the guard. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, isn't it? The position of captain of the guard has always been a duty set by the rules that have been handed down by the Palyusis family, and isn't it a violation of the rules to change to another family?"

"So what? I've figured this out! If the eldest lady clings to the rules, the village will be finished this time! It's because she dares to break these rules that we are saved, aren't we?"

"This ...... It makes sense. However, the rules were set by the gods for us humans after the creation of the age, and it is not true to violate them. ”

"The eldest lady has already violated it, isn't there nothing? Not only is there no divine punishment, but it has also blessed the village. Besides, the gods didn't say anything in the first place, so if we break it, they will punish us?"

"Even if that's the case, isn't it a bit too desperate to deprive them of their vocation?"

"Absolutely? He Palyusis is not desperate enough for us? In the past half a month, which of these hundreds of people in the village has not been miserable? Think about it, Roreya, what a good person, his son died of thirst, and he committed suicide. This is the iniquity he has made!"

Siliopala is also the eldest sister of the representative women in the village, and when Chai Mod mentions the victims, she is also angry and clenched her silver teeth.

"Since he was unkind in the first place, then don't blame us for being unjust!" said Chai Mod more and more angrily, and the louder he became, "I'll tell you something practical. We all removed Palyusis from his post, but made Lausis the captain of the guard, and as a result, wouldn't the guard still be under Palius? Even if Paliusis didn't interfere, his son would not hold a grudge against everyone, and maybe he would find fault and take revenge on us. ”

Listening to Chai Mod's analysis, Siriopala couldn't help but nod and felt reasonable.

"Knock knock. Just then, there was a knock at the door.

The desert is cold at night, and few people leave home, who could it be?

Thinking so, the two looked at each other, and Chaimade, who was a man, got up and opened the door for the knocker. It turned out to be Ayilaid.

"Why are you here?" he exclaimed.

Ayilid was stunned for a moment when he saw that it was Chai Mod who had come to open the door, and then looked at Siriopala at the table, and then understood.

"Let's talk, what you two are talking about. ”

"You're going to fight with us, too?" said Chai Mod, letting Ayilid into the house.

"Sort of. With that, Ayilid sat down at the table, and Chaimad sat down with him. "The three of us, and Paliusis, the four of us are the representatives of the people's will in the village. If you want to punish him, you have to be three to one, otherwise it will be very difficult. ”

"The people in the village are almost all against Palyusis now, so why do you have to be three against one?" said Chaimud, a little unconvinced.

"Really? You think that's because it's the atmosphere, but think about it rationally. Paliusis had a high prestige in the Guards, and those who were related to the Guards were at least neutral, if not supportive. My hunter brothers have actually not suffered much in the past month and half, so it doesn't matter to us to deal with Palyusis or not. These people must have half of the people in the village, right? The remaining half are your craftsmen and the helpless old and weak women and children. ”

In this way, Chaimade and Siliopara are really a little lacking in confidence.

"If you want me to join your side, there are conditions. Ayilid continued.

"On what terms?"

"First of all, you can't go too far with Paliusis. ”

"He's been so too much to us, why can't we be too old to him!"

"Because Paliusis is not a wicked man, and he has protected the village for so long, and he has no merit and hard work, right?

"What are you afraid of, when the time comes, there will be nobles and adults to help us, and they will come over to have a 'craft exchange' with us today!"

"I know, my hunting party is gone. But do you know that there are people there from Palyus, too?"

"Did the nobles go to him, too? What does that mean?"

"It means that you don't necessarily take one side in a fight. Do you still feel like you're being supported by someone?"

Hearing this, Chai Mod and Chilliopala glanced at each other, and the latter said, "We can discuss this." ”

"That's it for now. On the other hand, I would like to add to your dispensation an item to break the marriage of Raucis and Barrette. ”
