Chapter 222: Pear Blossom Falling (Part II)
"It can't be!"
Demeyer screamed, he couldn't believe the hypothesis, because if it were true, everything he had believed in for years and the pride he had lived on would be shattered??? ? ?· y?K?A?N?S?HU·COM
"Why is it impossible? Is this easy to prove, as long as you go back and ask your best friend to know what you really want, but why don't you first ask for it but refute it with anger!
Is this because if the pursuit of the truth may make you feel no place to vent your guilt about your actions, just as you have been accusing this lady without evidence because you can't vent your thoughts about your brother, then how can she vent her thoughts?"
Paparoni's tone was not heavy, but every word he said hit Demeyer's heart like a sledgehammer.
"I don't believe it! How could this woman be so kind!"
He pointed his finger at Marcelles, as if to prove himself right, but the Duchess retorted for the first time in the face of his accusation:
"Demeyer, I don't need you to believe Lord Paparoni's words, you can say that I am vain, you can call me ruthless, or even say that I behave frivolously, but I swear with my conscience in front of everyone that I have not done anything to be sorry for your brother emotionally since his death, and I dare not accept this evaluation of debauchery!"
Marcelles's tone was very serious, and the charm and softness on her face were swept away at this time, and she was completely a strong woman's style.
"You...... But why...... You ......" Affected by Marcelles' unusual, and faced with too much information in an instant, Demeyer was already incoherent. Y?K?A BOOK N?SHU COM
Seeing this, Paparoni sighed and continued:
"Mrs. Dosaigon is actually doing this for the sake of your future, after becoming the deputy commander, you should also clearly understand that the senior generals of the imperial ** side will inevitably have to be involved with the courtiers and various forces, and the complexity of this is definitely not something that a pure soldier and a novice in officialdom can adapt to, with your current situation, you can't get rid of the label of immaturity.
You don't think that the exception of a man like Alphonse who can be in charge is an example that can be easily copied, and his rudeness refers to character rather than intelligence and skill, and besides, it took him thirty-five years to sit in the position of Grand Commander, and it would take him nearly twenty years to achieve a similar position with a figure like your brother.
But what do you think is the reason why you can be promoted from the captain of a thousand men to the post of deputy commander of the legion within ten years? Is it all based on your brother's old favors in the legion and the military department, you know that this is impossible! Not to mention that there were factional strife in the same legion, that is, personal relations would generally fade most of them after death, but your career is so open and almost without a trace of stagnation, even if it is occasionally thrilling, you can be lucky enough to turn evil into good fortune, which can only show that there is a person or force who can have access to enough high power and related figures in the empire to pave the way for you to pave the way for your career behind the scenes.
You are so surprised to prove that the forces behind this have not revealed their identity to you and made demands, and those who have this motive but do not ask for anything in return may be reasonable only if it is your closest relatives, and from this point of view, you should be able to understand that what I said is absolutely true!
Demeyer: You say that everyone knows what to say about this lady, do you still think so, knowing this? Do you really think that this is a selfish, vain, and indifferent person who is willing to do this as a widow for the sake of her deceased husband's closest relatives, and who has spent so much energy and fortune on her life?
Even if all this is aside, do you think that the imperial title is such a child's play, there are countless precedents in history where nobles have been deprived of their titles for some reason, if this lady is really virtuous, will Your Majesty not consider it?"
Paparoni finally threw out a point that caught everyone's attention, and immediately many people turned their eyes to the silent His Majesty the King.
Vincent only smiled wryly, but it was enough to show that he acquiesced to Paparoni's claim.
"Your Majesty, you have always known! Paparoni, you have known...... In this way, I am afraid that many people still know why I am the only one...... Why?"
Demeyer's voice trembled, and at last he turned to the Duchess and asked, and Marcelles understood that he was not just asking literally.
"This is also a matter of no choice, I beg those in the know not to tell you these things, you adults may see that I am a woman without a husband, so you let me be this little willful.
It is my greatest luck and achievement in this life that I can marry a strange husband like your brother in a humble body, he is the person I care about the most, I will do my best to meet his requests, he likes my unrestrained happiness, even if I bury tears and pain in my heart with infamy, I have to pretend to be smiling, because he will look at me and think of me in a place that no one knows, and I don't want him to be sad about it.
As for why I want to restore my original surname to stop those relatives in your family from coveting, in fact, since his death, people have been sending people from his hometown to ask for a share of the inheritance, I had to make this decision to show my attitude, until the official announcement of my ascension to the knighthood came to an end, but after the occasional harassment failed, they created rumors that I was watery Yang Hua and thin love, and I have never regarded it as the same thing, because there are more important things than me.
There is nothing to hide between Brini and me, I know that you two brothers were abandoned by the family and drifted to the royal capital alone, and his most beloved relative is only your brother, how can I bear to let you be distressed by other things in addition to grief, so I didn't tell you these things. ”
"People say that I am a moral defect, but I don't care! I only care about you two brothers in this life, and now you are the only one left, but no matter what you think of me, I will not blame you, and now I see that you have a smooth career in the army, and I can be regarded as having an explanation for your brother.
It's just that...... Mel, I miss him! I miss him so much! The weight of my thoughts is like a mountain and a boundless sea, and I am about to be unable to carry it! If you still can't forgive me, please release your anger and kill me with a sword here, better than if I am alone in this world......"
Once again, Marcelles' eyes were dazzled by tears, so he didn't notice Demeyer coming before he felt he was being held by a pair of strong arms.
"No, you still have me...... I ......"
Listening to the other party's hoarse voice full of apology and nostalgia, Mather Leston felt relieved physically and mentally, and lay on the other's shoulder and cried bitterly.
The uncle and sister-in-law hugged each other tightly and wept tears, filled with endless grief and bitterness, but this is not salvation and liberation!
Many of the people around him, including Vincent, were already smiling on their faces.
