In the not-so-empty living room sat four people, and in addition to his wife, there were three young men, one of whom he knew.

In the story of Wren in the imperial capital, there is a rumor that is not very reliable, that is, Wren is actually a. The reason for this is that he rarely shows up in public with some ladies, and most of the people who accompany him are young men, except for the guard named Jasmine.

For example, Hugo, for example...... Vonkos.

As the grand steward of the Arcanian family, no one has ever underestimated Vonkos, the steward of a large family and the steward of an ordinary family are completely different creatures. The housekeeper of a large family is more like the foreign minister of a country, and in addition to the things that have to be bothered by the head of the family, many things can be handled by the housekeeper himself. That's why it's always said that Funkos is half a Rennes.

He controlled all of Wren's channels and connections, and even knew better than Wren himself what kind of power the Arcanian family had, how many important princes and ministers he knew, and how many resources he had at his disposal.

Among the three young people sitting in this living room is Fontos.

Tutat didn't tease and even ridicule Funkos in private, telling others that he was a lucky man who climbed the high pole by selling his ass.

The Pole Climb is a Desi folk tale, which is said to have been many, many years ago in the days of the city-state, when a desolate and unscrupulous king had erected a very high and soft pole outside the castle that led to the balcony of his attic. He told all his subjects that if anyone could climb up the balcony by a pole, he would be given wealth and power. The pole was brushed with a layer of mutton fat, slippery and unswerving, with many sharp sword tips erected on the ground around the pole.

Many people fell down and died from various injuries during the climb, until a young warrior who was only 17 years old appeared .......

It's a long story, and it's not that healthy.

This is not Tutart's idea alone, many people will think so, and they can't ignore the fact that whether or not Funkos became Rennes's henchman by selling his ass, he represents Rennes's will to a certain extent. He knew better that the sudden power of the Elders during the day, the resolute retraction of Sarcomo's confession, and the arrival of Vonkos were all connected, not isolated and isolated events.

His mind calmed down in an instant, and he walked to his wife's side and sat down, grabbed his wife's slightly trembling hand tightly, and held it hard.

"Mr. Funkos, I wonder if there is anything important about your sudden visit?", Tutat tried to make himself appear calm enough, but his trembling lips betrayed his heart, and he was being consumed by fear.

Fontaus was very charming when he laughed, Father God was really an old bastard, who gave him the right soul, but gave him the wrong body, and played a big joke on him. He had a harmless smile on his face, which even made Tutat's two children look a little stunned, "It's nothing, Lord Wren asked me to visit you, but I saw your wife and your children leave the imperial capital." You know, the temper of an adult is sometimes not very good, and I will be very scared if I can't do his orders according to his request, so I took your wife and children back without permission, and you won't blame me, right?"

He bowed slightly, "I apologize to you and your wife for my recklessness. ”

The more cultured and personable he became, the more fearful and uneasy Tutat became. The corners of his mouth twitched, squeezed out a smile, glanced at his wife again to confirm that his wife was not hurt, and then said: "You are too polite, His Excellency the Marquis of Rennes is also polite, if there is anything, just give me a direct order, I will take my family to meet you there." ”

"No, no, no!", Funkos shook his finger, "this matter is important, so I have to come." ”

Tutat's voice, which was terrified to the extreme, began to tremble, "This is the imperial capital!"

What he meant was that even if Wren wanted to do anything to him and his family, he had to figure out the situation, this was the home base of the Orlando family, and he was also a member of the Orlando family. Vonkos, and the Wren behind him, can't do anything extreme to them in this environment. He was cheering himself up to make himself less afraid, and he was also secretly warning Funkos not to hurt his family.

Because of the Empress Pars, she will definitely interfere.

There are many kinds of people in the world, and some people will be very rational and restrained, and the restrained ones are like a coward in the eyes of ordinary people.

But there is also a kind of person, who is bold and unscrupulous, and nothing can make him change his mind.

Wren is undoubtedly the latter.

Facing Tuttat's warning, vonkos obviously didn't take it to heart, he beckoned, pulled out a few pieces of candy from his pocket, and Tutat's youngest son ran over with a rub. Funkos put his arm around the little boy's shoulders and looked at the Tutat couple with a smile, "Everyone is constantly choosing to walk towards the single-plank bridge, and once you take the first step, you will never have a chance to turn back." ”

"Haven't you been mentally prepared from the moment you decided to stand on the opposite side of the adults?", Phonkos rubbed the little boy's flaxen hair, his eyes were extraordinarily gentle, "No, you were actually mentally prepared, and it is possible that you used many methods to convince yourself that you had chosen the right direction at great risk. So everything that happened today was prepared from the moment you made your decision, wasn't it?"

"People are good at deceiving themselves, and we tend to choose to believe what is good for us and not what is harmful to us. Phonkos stood up as he spoke, and the little boy looked at the very good-looking big brother with some strange eyes, "So Lord Wren has entrusted me to greet you and hope you ......", he smiled and nodded to the woman next to Tutat, "contribute the last of your meager strength." ”

The two young men who accompanied him stood up, drew their short swords from their waists, and stabbed Tutat on the sofa without the slightest negotiability. Phonkos bent down slightly, and the arm of his arm was tightly wrapped around the little boy's neck, and he lifted him up with force. The boy struggled violently, his hands clapping against his strong arms, but his strength was too small to give Phonkos a chance to cause pain.

The woman screamed and threw herself forward, Tutat turned in panic, and his daughter screamed and rushed out the door.

With a pop, the short sword plunged into the back of Tutat's heart, breaking out of his chest, the shiny tip of the sword glistening with a cold glow, and the blood slowly gathered along the tip of the sword little by little, and then dripped down.

With a thud, the dagger was withdrawn, and the young man leaned forward and pressed a hand on Tutat's wife's mouth, and the dagger stabbed it in the chest. The woman's body trembled a few times, and her eyes were a little dazed, but she still tried her best to push her hands forward with all her strength, trying to save her child.

The weak hand did end up on Funkos's arm, but it was limp and had no strength.

The little boy's struggles gradually became weaker and smaller, and all the muscles of his small body began to harden and tighten, and the whole person began to tremble violently due to suffocation. The trembling didn't last long before calm returned.

Tutat was not dead at this point, and the sword did pass through his chest, but instead of hitting his heart directly, it passed next to the ventricles and tore a hole in his heart. He turned over with great effort, his eyes full of reluctance to give up on life. He looked at his wife and the blue-faced child beside him with a sad expression, and something seemed to be exploding in his chest.

Blood splattered from the corners of his eyes, and the sudden drop and rise in blood pressure caused the capillaries in his eyes to burst like bloody tears.

Another member of the entourage dragged Tutat's daughter back from the entrance by the hair and wrenched her neck in front of Tutat in front of her.

Phonkos let go of his arm, sat back down, picked up the steaming flower tea on the table and took a sip, and at the end, he looked up at Tutat as he was dying, "Lord Wren asked me to greet you, and he said, I wish you a good death." ”

Tutat's body lost all strength in the convulsions, and von Koss pouted, "Since we are a family, we must always be together, put their family in order, and no one can be left behind." ”

Looking at this neat family, Fontos couldn't help but sigh, everyone has their own choice, and from the day of the decision, there has been no chance to turn back. As Tutat said, the moment he made his decision, it meant that he was willing to bear the consequences of his decision. Whether the consequences are good or bad, it's his own choice, isn't it?

Stood up and tidied up the crooked clothes caused by the slightly intense activities just now, he is the chief steward of the Alcanian family, and he represents the glory of the family all the time, how can he be so indecent?

Straightening the corners of his clothes and flicking his cuffs, he looked at the calm family, smiled, and walked to the door.

Today's weather is good, the wind is beautiful, the temperature is not high or low, it is very pleasant, it is really a good time to "go out".

Isn't it, Mr. and Mrs. Tuttat?

As the door was closed, the small world in the room fell into an eternal silence.

A family, forever together, it's really jealous!
