Chapter 65: A Reasonable Request
The Mogg family, a family with a long heritage and noble blood.
Bérielland had a younger brother and a younger sister, the younger brother Bunyan remained at court to assist his brother after Berry Lang succeeded to the earldom, and the younger sister Marianne married Duke McCarvey, Yurien's mother.
Bérilang's wife, Vida, was the daughter of William Granwell, Earl of Mecklenburg, and she married you at the age of thirteen, and her surname was changed from Granwell to Mog, and in the early spring of the following year she gave birth to her eldest son, Leander, and Mrs. Vida became a mother before she was fourteen, so when Berryrand insulted Dick, Julian scoffed, this kind of guy who started the highest death sentence in three years, what is there to say.
Compared with the sparsely populated McCarvey family, the Mogg family is thriving and has a total of five children, in addition to the eldest son Leander, there are also the second son Carlos, the third son Marcus, the eldest daughter Freya and the younger daughter Delores.
When Julian saw the young and beautiful Madame Mogg, he guessed that if he had a wife ten years younger than him, young and beautiful, and with a graceful figure, he would probably work hard every day and night.
Julian is close to Leander, Carlos, and Freya, and the three are about the same age, Leandel is twenty years old, Carlos is eighteen, and Freya is sixteen years old and Julian is the same age. In the year when Berry Lang went to live in Raging Wave City, he brought these three children, Marcus was still in infancy, Deloris was not yet born, because the four were cousins, so they quickly played together.
Leander inherited his father Berry's cautious and steady character, but was a little indecisive, while Carlos had a frivolous personality and did not inherit Berry's temperament at all, and was closest to Julian's personality, so the two played the best, often climbing mountains and wading together, And Freya, proud as a swan, a woman who often talked about aristocratic reserve and elegance, from the age of thirteen, stopped liking dolls, began to like beautiful dresses and dazzling gems, and to Julian, who lived a life of dissoluteness, she always said, "Oh, you are rude, not at all like a real nobleman." ”。
When they were seen again, Leander bowed his head humbly, and he became more and more like his father, and Carlos was still enthusiastic, and he came up and gave Julian a warm hug, took him by the hand and sat down at the table, and said a few witty words, while Freya, as if she had become a true aristocratic lady, was reserved, An elegant and ceremonial smile curtsy to Julian, the lively Marcus interprets the innocence of a child around Julian's curious questions, and Delores, timidly hiding behind her mother, occasionally poking her head out to look at Julian, a cousin she has never met, with a shy and curious gaze.
Berry Lang shook the bell, the sound of the bell was crisp and loud, and the waiters carried rich and delicious delicacies in their hands, and the delicious food and bright candles gradually warmed up the atmosphere on the table.
"Look at that handsome face, you are becoming more and more like your father. Bunyan said.
Julian touched his chin, which already had a sparse beard, and said, "Yes, I've often heard people say that I look like my mother. ”
"I also feel that Julian is becoming more and more like Aunt Mariana. It was Freya who said this, and there was a blush on her face, whether it was the smear of a bright candle flame or a beating heart.
Julian was a little surprised, as he didn't think he was close to Freya.
"It is remarkable to hear that you have defeated the 20,000 men of the Earl of Noamon on the Dawn Plains with a force of 6,000 men. Freya said wistfully.
"That's not a feat to be proud of, it's just a stupid impulse. Berry Lang said disdainfully.
"Knight Edmund was sixteen years old when he first went into battle. Freya argued.
"Edmund Knight?"
"Ahem, the protagonist of the 'Rose Knight' that Freya watched recently. Carlos explained.
"Oh my God, what did Vida say, burn all this idiot's chivalric novels, or she'll get more and more stupid. ”
"Honey, you're too Freya, she's just a child. Madame Mogg comforted Freya, who was about to cry, and said dissatisfiedly.
"You're spoiling them too much. Don't forget that you are already a mother of two at your age. ”
"Ahem. Julian coughed twice deliberately, although as an outsider it was not suitable to meddle in this matter, but the dispute in the matter was caused by him, and Julian had to say two words.
When everyone's eyes shifted to him, Julian brewed in his belly for a while, and said:
"Unfortunately, cousin Freya, I am not the noble knight you imagined to punish the evil and help the weak, and the war is not as romantic as you imagined, to be honest, when I saw a young and excellent warrior fall on the green grass, I was very remorseful, and I was ashamed of the war I had so recklessly provoked. ”
Yuri paused and continued, "If you want to know a true knight, then I can introduce you to my subordinate Edgar, who is a true knight with a noble heart, and is no less than the knight of the roses you have in mind. ”
"Thank you, Julian. Freya said gratefully.
"Hmph. Bérylang snorted through his thick nostrils.
Because of this little episode, the dinner party, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly became depressing and silent.
When the dinner was over, Bunyan got up to take his leave, Madame Mogg led the children away, and the servants took away the messy cups and plates, leaving only Bériurand and Julian in the house.
"The orc .......," Berry Lang muttered as he looked at Julian with a sharp gaze.
"When I captured Boulder City, I didn't have the time to escape from the city. ”
"An orc who appeared in Boulder. Berry Lang chewed thoughtfully.
"So you think that orc and Count Noamon are in collusion?"
"Who knows, maybe so. ”
"Hmph, if that's not the case, do you need to take him by the neck like a pet and swagger towards Raging Wave City?"
Julian sneered, acquiescing.
Although the truth is not yet known, this in itself is an ominous signal. Orcs, these filthy things, their very existence is a sin. ”
After a moment of contemplation, Berry Lang asked, "So what do you need me to help you do?"
Perhaps because he was not accustomed to such a straightforward way of speaking like Berryron, Julian did not know how to answer for a while, and after a little deliberation on his words, he said: "The nobles seem to be dissatisfied with me. ”
"If you weren't Mariana's child, I wouldn't have allowed you to enter my castle. Berry Lang said unceremoniously.
"So I ask for your help as your nephew. ”
"You're asking me to help you frame a sword-wielding nobleman?"
"Believe me that the murder of my assassination, and the near-murder of your nephew in his castle, is not a slanderous and impertinent aggression, but a righteous and justified revenge. ”
"Then you should have asked your father for a ruling in the first place. ”
"I was at first carried away by the anger of revenge, and I had no evidence in my hands to act so irrationally, and I now regret my reckless and rash actions. ”
Berry Lang sighed deeply, "Okay, I can help you and go with you to Raging Waves. But it's not because I approve of your actions, but because you're Mariana's child, the future guardian of the South. ”
