The atmosphere in the castle hall was a bit dull, and several powerful figures in Aaronburg subconsciously stopped talking when Gray walked into the hall, and their eyes were fixed on Gray's handsome face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

To be honest, Gray Cage was very nervous at the moment, he was very smart, and he knew that maybe his fate was about to be changed in the next moment, because he turned eighteen last month, and he was already an adult!

He could only wait, without any right to refute or choose, he didn't like it, he didn't like it! At the same time, there was a little expectation in his heart, he wanted to be liberated.

For as long as he can remember, Gray has been plagued by the doppelganger of an illegitimate child, he longs for fatherly love, but even more for motherly love, he longs for family, and he is always serious because he wants to hide his inferiority. His father was by his side, but he knew that he was like an orphan, and his father's love was always like a separation.

Since childhood, Gray's surroundings have been full of lies and mockery, and slowly he has learned to distinguish between good and bad, he is smart and has wisdom, but he knows how to hide his intelligence and wisdom.

Gray stood in the middle of the hall like a prisoner to be judged, and Baron and Mrs. Laglet sat on the stone steps on the south side of the hall, with their most loyal men standing respectfully to the left and right.

"Baron Lagley, Lady Lagley. "Gray's etiquette is so correct that I can't find the slightest problem.

Baron Laglai: "Yes." After a while, he looked left and right casually, and then stared at Gray who was looking down, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't speak, and Gray didn't dare to ask, so he waited quietly.

Just as Mrs. Laglay was a little impatient to remind her husband, Baron Laglay said, "Gray, it seems that the 10th of last month was your eighteenth birthday." ”

asked very casually, but Gray's heart was tight, and he quickly said, "Yes, Baron Lagley." ”

The baron said, "Yes." After a sigh, he glanced at the baroness next to him and said, "Eighteen years old, already an adult!" Gray, have you thought about your future life, or what are your plans for the future?"

Although it was an inquiring tone, Gray knew that he had no authority to answer, and he quietly waited for the next words.

"Your cousin, Sir Dale Lagley, you know?"

"Yes, I know. ”

"Did you know that he was Prime Minister in the court of the Earl of Lockton at Herainburg?"

"I've heard of it!"

"He said in his letter that he wanted you to help him, would you like to come over?" said the Baron this time quickly and directly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

When Gray heard this, his heart was cold, and he glanced at everyone present very covertly, the baroness's smile became more obvious, she looked at Gray's eyes even higher, and the baron stared at Gray's eyes, waiting for a reply with an expressionless face, and everyone else stood motionless like a wooden Zhuangzi.

Gray doesn't have a choice, it's not a multiple-choice question because there's only one option. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at his waist, the sword was unloaded when it was at the city gate, yes, a crazy thought suddenly popped up in his heart now, but this thought he extinguished without even thinking about it.

"Yes, I think I do. Gray kept his tone as calm as possible.

―――

Gray didn't know how he got out of the castle, it was Gonde's cry that brought him back to his senses.

There was a bit of heaviness in his hand, and when he raised his hand slightly, he heard a crisp "ding" sound, this is a bag of money, there should be a few gold coins, most of them are silver coins and copper coins. This is already a lot of money, you must know that in the Alan Continent, human civilians may not have seen gold coins in their lives, and generally a family of three only needs more than ten silver coins a year.

This was what Gray threw to him when the Baroness was about to leave the hall. He felt that the last vestiges of his dignity had been deprived, that he was an illegitimate child, that he had low self-esteem since childhood, and that he longed for the respect of others from the bottom of his heart. But in his mind, no one cared about his dignity, not even his father treated him as if he were doing ordinary business.

Gray had no right to refuse this money, and it was enough money for him to start a new life, and Baron and Lady Laglay gave Gray what they thought was the best way out in front of their loyal men.

Gray must not only receive this gift, but also give his sincerest gratitude. He swore that he would never forget today, and if he had a glimmer of hope before, then now Gray has completely understood and completely died! He understands that dignity is not given by others, but by himself.

It's already late autumn, and Aarenburg is located in the southernmost part of the continent of Aaron, although it is not too cold, a trace of coolness can still be clearly felt, but Gray's heart is even cooler.

He was banished, this Gray's first reaction, although it was a very 'decent' banishment, ten or a hundred times better than those knights who were driven out of the territory, but he was still banished, he grew up in this place, trained and grew up in this place, more than ten years passed in a flash, although he did not have a friend, and his relatives did not feel it, but this is his hometown after all, he was banished from his hometown, and if there were no special conditions, Baron LaGray would not allow him to return here!

It's already afternoon, and it will take at least a day to leave until supplies are bought and equipment is organized, although Gray really wants to leave here at the moment! Gray returned to his own residence in Aarontown, he was not qualified to live in the castle, his residence was a small two-story building, the first floor was the living room, dining room, kitchen and servants' quarters, and the second floor was the bedroom and study.

As soon as he sat down on a chair by the fireplace in the hall, Gonde's sister, who was also Gray's butler and cook, Lady Wren, came over and said cautiously, "Lord Gray, the castle has just sent someone to take back this house, ......what do you think?"

Mrs. Wren looked a little overwhelmed, but calm, and behind her, her husband, Wren, who was also Gray's groom, was obviously a little flustered. Madame Wren was not the daughter of a blacksmith, tall as a man, of average appearance, not ugly nor very beautiful, and her husband looked a little thin in front of her.

In this house, Gray was very casual, without the seriousness outside, he looked a little tired, the whole person was slumped in the chair, after hearing the words, his half-squinted eyes suddenly opened, glanced at the two Wren couples, and then looked at Gangde, who had just walked into the hall with a surprised face.

"This is too anxious!" Gray thought coldly in his heart, but on the surface he tried to maintain a calm attitude: "It's okay, I'm going to leave here temporarily, and there is no need to keep this house anymore." "The word 'temporary' was said very emphatically, as if to remind everyone, or to remind himself.

The three of them were taken aback, Mrs. Wren looked at Gray who pretended to be calm, and guessed that she had no ability to change anything, so she could only sigh in her heart, the identity of Gray's illegitimate son was not a secret in the entire Aaron region or in the surrounding aristocratic circles.

The two brothers and sisters of Gray lived with Gray when he was ten years old, when Mrs. Wren and her husband had just married, and Gonde was thirteen years old, and eight years had passed in the blink of an eye.

As if thinking of something, Gray grabbed the money bag on his waist, took out more than a dozen silver coins and handed them to Mrs. Wren: "Buy some jerky and bread, and ale." After a pause, he continued: "If you are willing to continue to follow me, get yourself a weapon for self-defense, and a carriage, and if you are not willing to buy me some supplies." ”

After saying that, Gray didn't wait for them to speak, got up and continued: "I want to be quiet, you don't have to prepare my dinner, try not to disturb me." With that, he got up and walked upstairs.
