"Looking forward to our next encounter. ”

Julian waved goodbye to the departing Lycia.

Stopping to look, the carriage in which Lygia rode grew smaller and smaller in Julian's field of vision, and finally melted into the horizon like a stone of sand.

Recalling Lycia's smile before leaving, Julian was deeply intoxicated and deeply confused.

"Don't look, the people are gone. Rosalind teased Julian.

Julian ignored Rosalind and turned back in the direction of the castle.

"What, you're going to the Imperial Capital?" Duke McCarvey asked, frowning.

"Yes, I often look up at the starry sky and feel more and more insignificant, so I want to learn, I want to acquire more knowledge, and the imperial capital has exactly what I need, the imperial academy has the most knowledgeable and wise men, and the empire's great library has the richest collection of books, I want to use this to improve myself, not to be an ignorant fool. ”

Although Duke McCarvey always wanted to drive Julian to Kyoto, but when Julian himself proposed it, he fell into deep suspicion! Is this really the case? How credible is Yurian's words? Duke McCarvey fell into all kinds of confusion and anxiety, although Julian has always maintained his prudence and humility, almost impeccable etiquette during this time, and his new appearance has impressed everyone, but the shadow of Leopold has always hung over Duke McCarvey, so that he has to make a careful choice.

"The birds want to nest. The Duke of McCarvey recalled what his wife had said to herself, and she mentioned that Julian seemed to admire the princess Lygia, and fell into the innocence, peculiar sorrow and melancholy of youth. Duke McCarvey suddenly dawned, I see! Julian wanted to follow in the footsteps of the princess named Lygia.

In the end, Julian's request was granted by Duke McCarvey, and the time of departure was decided by Julian himself.

Julian left his father's room and found a small head hiding around the corner of the corridor, and he stepped forward with a slight smile.

"Sean, hello. Julian said affectionately.

Sean was very uncomfortable with Julian's kind greeting, and he timidly replied, "I wish you good health, honorable Lord McCarvey." ”

"And our esteemed Earl of the Red River Valley, what is Your Excellency Gallaher doing here?"

"I want to see my father, your father, Lord Duke. ”

Julian narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously his ears were keen to catch the word, but he didn't bother Sean, "Why did you go to Lord Duke?"

"I wanted to get out of the castle and go outside, but the Duke wouldn't let me out. ”

"Why?"

"He said it was too dangerous out there. ”

It seems that his father dotes on this illegitimate son very much, Julian secretly believes in it.

"I can take you out to play. ”

"Really?" Sean's face showed the innocence of a child, and his dark eyes shone brightly, as if they were shining.

"Really. ”

Julian took Sean's immature little hand and slowly walked out of the court.

With Julian by his side, all the way unimpeded, no one dared to stop them, which made the naïve Sean worship Julian in his heart, and the doorman who had been glaring at him before was humble like a dog in front of Julian.

"The Duke clearly forbade me to go out, and every time I walked through the gate of the castle, the guards wouldn't let me go along, so why was it okay this time?"

"Because I'm by your side. ”

"Why are you right next to me?"

"Because they are all my house slaves, how dare house slaves rebel against their masters?"

"Why are they your house slaves?" asked Sean persistently.

"Why....." Julian explained after a moment's thought, "it is probably fate, some people are born noble, while others are born lowly, because they have a very different father. ”

"That's right....." Sean nodded ignorantly, as if chewing on Julian's words.

Julian accompanied Sean to travel through most of the Angry Wave City, Julian was originally a famous prodigal in Angry Wave City, and naturally knew what fun places to go in the city, and Sean couldn't think about it, leaving the original cowardly fear of Duke McCarvey's reprimand far behind, Julian also bought him a lot of small toys and maltose, Sean's face was full of smiles.

"Why are they all avoiding us?" asked Sean as he turned away from the passers-by.

"Because of the clothes. ”

"I like beautiful clothes because they look good and keep warm, but I can't understand why they're afraid of these nice things. ”

Of course they like beautiful clothes, and who in this world doesn't like glamorous things? Of course, they are very envious of our beautiful clothes, but they are also afraid of our clothes, because clothes are not only warm and beautiful, but the most important thing for us is to declare our identity and distinguish us from them. ”

Along the way, Julian tells Sean many esoteric things, and Sean is ignorant and can't understand Yurian's words very well, but this does not prevent him from adoring Yurian's erudition.

The sun had set, and there was a lingering glow floating in the air that had not been going away for a long time, "It's time to go home, or you won't be able to make it time for dinner." ”

On the way home, they have an accident when a boy as old as Sean is beaten by a group of grown men, who insult the boy with foul language.

The kind-hearted Sean couldn't bear to look at him, he covered his eyes and pleaded with Julian, "Can't we help him?"

Julian shook his head, "Of course I can help him, but I'm not willing to do that?"

"Why?"

"Because the boy stole something that wasn't originally his?"

"Did he steal?"

"Yes, he stole and stole what didn't belong to him! ”

"But, but this is too cruel, it's just some money, so cruel. ”

"It may seem like a small amount of money to you, but for them it's a month's hard work, which means a child waiting to be fed at home, and a new dress that hasn't been added for a year. ”

"But....." Sean wasn't willing to give up.

"Then why don't you come up and help him yourself. Julian said.

Sean looked at Julian, and then at the strong men who were much taller than him, he shrank his head timidly, his eyes were full of tears, and he swayed Julian's clothes and begged: "Please help him, he is so pitiful." ”

Julian sighed softly, couldn't help Sean's pleading, and said: "Yes Sean, of course I can help him, but it's not because I pity him, I never sympathize with those criminals, they blame themselves and others." Remember my words, Shaun, never touch something that doesn't belong to you!
