After listening to Sebas's report, Julian learned Christine's identity, it was indeed an ordinary country girl, and this was her first time in the city to meet her fiancé.

"I seem to have gone too far. Julian said, touching his chin.

"That's excessive. "Sebas didn't give face to his master.

"I've decided!" Yurien rose from his chair, as if he had something big to decide. "If I take happiness away from her, then I will give her a hundredfold, a thousand, ten thousand times happiness. Counteract the pain I have brought her and give him more happiness. ”

"Wait, sir, you said you wouldn't mean anything to marry her, would you?" asked Sebas in an uncertain tone.

"Seriously, after all, I love her, and she is so loving. Julian replied.

"My lord, this has nothing to do with love, you are the son of Duke McCarvey, the heir of Raging Waves, and you will definitely rule the entire southern realm in the future. If you marry a commonwoman, not only will the Duke be angry, but the McCarvey family will become a joke in the entire aristocratic circle, and this kind of marriage will inevitably not be recognized. Sebas admonished

"Forget it. Julian said dryly.

"Your Excellency!" Sebas was bewildered by Julian's attitude.

"Sebas, you are very clever, and you have done a good job of assisting me in my affairs or advising me, or helping me deal with all the troubles I have caused because of my absurd acts. You have to take everything I say to heart, but you don't have to take everything seriously, after all, I have my own concerns. ”

"I see. ”

"But Christine's affairs should be taken care of, I'll visit his family, and leave her former fiancé to you. ”

"Understood. Sebas was ordered to step down.

"Barr, come with me. Julian put on his coat and said to Barr.

"Yes. Barr followed Julian in silence.

Julian came to a tavern, and from the news that Sebas had received, the father had been staying here since his daughter had been taken by himself, hoping that things would turn around, and that he hoped that his daughter would return to his side.

The first floor of the inn is operated as a bar, and the second floor is used as a hotel. Julian frowned slightly as he walked in, for there was a strange smell mixed with food, alcohol, men's sweat, and even fishy, not far from the docks, and frequented by sailors.

Although it was daytime, the tavern still gathered countless drunkards, who were noisy, staggering, telling a few meat jokes, bragging, touching the hostess's buttocks when the hostess was drinking, causing the waitress to scream, and then making up a happy laugh, these daily routines made up the life of this group of people, a boring life.

Ignoring the drunkards, Julian walked straight to the second floor, but was stopped halfway by a drunk, red-faced drunkard.

"Friend, let's have a duel. "The red-faced drunkard was drunk, and he smelled of alcohol.

"I'm not interested. I'm here to find someone, please get out of the way. Julian looked at the drunkard who stood in his way like a psychopath.

"Then you say that Emilia is the most beautiful woman in the world. The drunkard thought for a moment and said.

"I haven't seen the Emilia you mentioned, how can you say she's the most beautiful woman in the world?"

"So what to do, Emilia said that if I defeated a hundred men in a duel, she would agree to my courtship. The drunkard touched his somewhat confused head.

"Then let's duel. With that, the drunkard raised his fist and swung it at Julian.

But the fist didn't reach Julian, and the punch was caught by Barr in midair. The drunkard looked at the man who caught his fist, a tall man with a fierce face, and before he could think more, with a bang, the drunkard saw a huge fist smashed into his face, and the drunkard flew out directly upside down and hit the ground hard.

In this suddenness, everyone in the tavern was stunned, looking at the red face lying on the ground screaming and the burly man standing behind the richly dressed young man, they knew that the red face had hit a hard stubble today, and the people who wanted to watch the excitement couldn't help but shrink their heads and bow their heads to drink.

"Ignore them, let's go. Julian went up to the second floor.

Julian followed the information to the room where Christine's father lived and knocked on the door. After a while, a middle-aged man with a haggard face poked his head out, looked at Julian standing in front of the door and Barr following him, and asked, "Who are you?"

"We're here to find Mr. Norn. Julian said

"I am, what are you looking for me? Norn said.

"Well, it's about your daughter, so let's go in and talk. Julian asked.

"Come in, have you been sent by Lord Earl, has Lord Count agreed to release my daughter? As soon as he heard the news about his daughter, Norn opened his bloodshot eyes.

Instead of immediately answering the haggard father's question, Julian went into the room and found a chair to sit down.

Seeing Julian's leisurely appearance, Norn was a little anxious. "Sir, what is going on? help me, tell me the news about my daughter, for the sake of a father, please. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Norne. I am not a messenger sent by Earl McCarvey, and your daughter will not be released. Julian denied the other party's answer.

Hearing Julian's words, a look of despair crept up on Norn's face. But as a middle-aged man, he finally sank down and asked, "Then what news did you come to tell me?"

"I am not an emissary to Earl McCarvey. ”

"I know. ”

"Because I am Earl McCarvey himself, Julian McCarvey, the heir of Raging Waves, and the first in line to the throne of the McCarvey family. Julian identified himself.

Apparently shocked by Julian's words, the father quickly knelt on the ground.

"Honorable, merciful Earl McCarvey, tell me how my daughter is?"

"You need not worry about your daughter now living in my mansion and being treated with respect. Julian replied.

When he heard the news that his daughter was fine, he was immediately relieved, because he had heard too many rumors about the nobility, and some young nobles would suffer inhuman abuse when they were taken away to satisfy the perverted hobby of the nobles, and even if they survived by luck, they would be sold to a brothel by the nobles who were tired of playing. Among them, it was because of the attitude shown by Julian's personal presence that Norn felt reassured.

"Can my daughter come back to me?" asked Norn wistfully.

"Not yet, but I can meet you later. Julian said.

Julian's words undoubtedly gave the father hope, and his haggard face seemed to be much more energetic.

"But I have taken possession of your daughter's body, so her marriage must be dissolved, do you understand what I say?" said Julian in an unquestioning tone.

Although Norn had long understood that it was impossible for his daughter not to be possessed, he was still a little upset when he heard the news in person. The result was much better than he expected, and Norn silently comforted himself.

Julian tosses a money bag to Norn.

"There are a hundred gold coins in it, take a good bath, eat a good meal, and live in a clean environment. Julian got up and left.

Norn looked at the money bag in his hand, the huge amount of money he couldn't earn in his life, and couldn't help but fall into a wry smile.

"My lord, are you going to buy my daughter?!"

Hearing Norn's questioning behind him, Julian stopped.

"If I said yes, that's. ”

Faced with such a straightforward and merciless answer, Norn's face turned pale, "If I could, even if ten thousand gold coins were placed in front of me, I would not choose to exchange it for my daughter's happiness, but I had no choice." I know that my daughter is naturally beautiful, I have never seen a more beautiful woman than my daughter, and sometimes I even wonder if she is my daughter, but I know that she is indeed my daughter, she inherited her mother's brown chestnut hair, my light brown eyes, and I have some similarities in facial features to my wife and me, but two ordinary people give birth to a beautiful woman who captivates the city and the country. Excessive beauty is not lucky for a civilian woman, but will bring disaster, I have been worried about it when she was young, and even moved to the countryside to live, I let her marry early, but also to protect her, but I did not expect that in my such careful care, Christine still could not escape her fate. Your Excellency is not like other nobles, and Christine may not be entirely bad to meet you, so please, please give her happiness, I beg you again as a father. ”

Norn fell to his knees and bent deeply, his head resting on the floor.

"I will. Julian said lightly and left the place.
