Section 9

Gray was received by Mrs. Lagley in the parlor at Beenburgh. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The lady was much older than she had been five years ago, and although she tried her best to dress up, the signs of his aging could not be concealed.

Unexpectedly, when Gray saw the Baroness of Arenburg, his father's wife, and the mother of his brother Craggs again, there was no hatred in his heart, on the contrary, a feeling of affection spread in his heart.

Kindness?Gray thought to himself, it was a strange feeling, but it was pleasant.

Gray struggled to make his face look rigid and serious.

When the Baroness saw Gray's familiar and unfamiliar cheeks again, she tried to make up for the majesty that Gray had seen before in Aarenburg.

However, what she didn't know was that her slight bowing made her majestic expression look so ridiculous.

Truth be told, Gray's adoptive mother didn't like Gray, but she had done her duty for more than a decade, otherwise Gray might have been just a groom in the stable.

"It's good not to be seen, ma'am!" said Gray, who had risen from the sofa in the parlor as Mrs. Lagley approached, and pointed to the sofa opposite, "Take a seat first!"

Gray's attitude at this time, like the attitude of this lady to Aarenburg before, is superficially close and impeccable to outsiders, but the actual estrangement is very obvious.

"Thank you, Viscount Cage!"

Madame Lagley naturally understood Gray's attitude, but she pretended not to know, she needed Gray's help now, and her etiquette was very well done, just like the wife of a knight of the family meeting her lord.

Her voice as a viscount vanished her already majestic expression, and her solemn etiquette showed her humility at the moment.

"You don't have to, Baroness!" Gray invited to sit down again.

Madame LaGray didn't want to be so humble to Gray, the bastard, but with Gray's current position, she had to let her do it, and if she had known that this would be the case to drive Gray out of Aarenburg, she would not have made such a stupid decision even if she had been killed.

She wasn't wrong in doing that, she was just following tradition, and if Gray's matter was to be separated, no nobleman would think that her approach was wrong.

"I just hope you'll forgive me, Viscount Cage, and I'm sorry for what I did wrong before!" Lady Lagley saluted again, but Gray tried to stop but couldn't.

"Baron Laglay is alright!" Gray asked, he could only change the subject, and he could only change the subject for such a clever woman who was still nominally his elder.

Madame Laglet knew that the other party could not forgive her so easily, but the mention of the Baron made her eyes light up, "He has accompanied the Earl's troops to the royal capital, you know, he is a traditional nobleman, when His Majesty's order came down, he immediately came to the city of Byan with his soldiers, and he took all the soldiers in the territory with him. ”

Gray nodded as he listened, although he didn't talk much with his father, he knew that his father retained the sense of honor of the traditional nobleman, and he was very active in joining the war against the orc invasion.

"It's his duty, ma'am, and the ancestral blood flowing through him has made him make the right choice!" Gray didn't know what to say, so he could only say formulaically.

Although the baroness was full of slander at Gray's statement in her heart, she could only say with pandering: "Of course, he has always maintained the sense of honor that a nobleman should have, but he should be more concerned about the safety of the people of the territory, which is also a matter of family honor!"

She pulled the matter to the safety of Aaronburg.

When Gray heard the other party say this, he immediately understood what she meant by coming to him.

The lady had been emphasizing that Baron Laglay had taken all of the garrison of Aarenburg with him in order to get Gray to provide them with shelter.

He was not mistaken, the reason why the Baroness would come in front of her face was to let Gray take care of Aarenburg as much as possible in the rest of the war, or rather take care of her and her two sons and daughters as much as possible.

Although the commoners don't know what will happen next to the Bien Leader, as the nobles of the Bien Leader, there are some things that they can't hide if they want to, they have their own survival circle, and it is very easy to get a little simple information.

The Baroness originally wanted Baron Laglet to leave a few soldiers behind to protect his minor son and daughter, but the Baron believed that it was the natural duty of nobles to resist the attacks of the orcs, not to mention the warrant of His Majesty.

Aristocrats like them, who have been passed down for hundreds of years, have always lived in awe of the royal family. Especially this kind of small nobles in the countryside, if they have the opportunity to be loyal to the royal family, then for them, even if they go to the soup, they will not hesitate.

Therefore, when His Majesty's orders were handed down layer by layer, the baron could join the battlefield in the north with his most powerful military force without hesitation, regardless of his territory or his family.

Gray just sighed secretly in his heart, sometimes, these nobles who respect tradition are indeed worthy of respect, but they are also quite ridiculous.

Thinking of this, Gray subconsciously asked, "How are Craggs and Lina?"

The relationship between these two younger siblings and Gray is not bad, although they don't get along very well, but there is nothing unpleasant about it.

Especially Craggs, Gray is still quite concerned about this younger brother, Craggs's early knightly theory class was taught by Gray, and Gray was only thirteen years old at that time, which is also the easiest age to establish a relationship foundation.

Mrs. Lagley's eyes lit up when she heard Gray ask her son and daughter, "They are all very good, and they miss you a lot, especially little Gus, he is very sad after you left, I brought him here today, would you like to see him?"

"Knock! knock!"

Gray was about to say yes, but there was a knock on the door in the living room.

It was Viscount Pedi who came in, he looked at the baroness for a moment, and then saluted Gray, "Viscount Cage, we have thought it through, I don't know if you can talk about it now?"

Viscount Pedy had already recognized Lady Laglay, but he ignored her existence and questioned Gray while motioning for Madame Lagley to withdraw.

The viscount did not know Gray's origins, and Sir Korwin did not tell him, and he probably thought that the two men had met by chance in the drawing room.

Lady Lagley naturally didn't dare to say anything, she looked at the heir of the Byan Domain, the person she usually needed to look up to, so humble in front of Gray, she really felt Gray's power.

The lady's heart was beating uncontrollably violently at this time, and she suddenly felt that a door in front of her was open to her, but then it closed again, and this feeling was a little uncomfortable and a little helpless.
