Chapter 79: The Nolan Family
An hour after the birthday banquet of the Marquis of Lewin, Meng Fan and Tiberius stood at a table with snacks, Meng Fan looked ahead, and under a large locust tree not far away, Lewin Nolan, the lord of Ziyang City, and King Landry Pars sat together, and Queen Freya, the lord of Dawn City, Cicela, and others sat alongside.

"Grandpa," a ten-year-old red-haired boy came up to Lewin Nolan and said timidly, "Oh, Warren," Lewin shook the boy's hand happily, "I've grown so tall." Lewin touched the top of the boy's head.
"Come, Warren, let Grandpa hug you. Lewin sat down on his lap with the boy in his lap, the boy who was held on his lap by Levine Nolan, the lord of Purple Sun City, was Prince Warren, the child of King Landry Pars of Gilgia and Queen Freya.
Warren is just ten years old this year, "Happy birthday, Grandpa." Warren handed a small red paper crane he had woven to Lewin, "Thank you, Warren, this is the most precious gift Grandpa has received today." Lewin happily kissed his grandson's little cheek.
Meng Fan, who was standing not far away, looked at the warm picture of Lewin and his grandson Warrenqi, "Tiberius, I heard that Lewin Nolan has a son." Meng Fan said.
"Lord Claude, you're talking about Alan, Lewin did have a son and a daughter, the elder sister is the current Queen of Gilgias, Freya, and the younger brother is named Alan Nolan, and Alan should be 25 or 6 years old this year. Tiberius replied that Tiberius was born in Ziyang City, and his father was a tax collector under the Marquis of Lewin, and Tiberius knew a lot about the affairs in Ziyang City.
"This Allen...... Why didn't you see it in the banquet hall?" Meng Fan turned his head and asked, "Lord Claude, Alan Nolan...... His legs were naturally deformed and he couldn't walk at all, and Levin kept his son Alan in the lord's mansion all the time, and few people had seen the young lord. Tiberius replied.
"Legs are naturally deformed?" Meng Fan looked puzzled, Levin Nolan, the lord of Ziyang City, gave birth to a son and a daughter, and his sister Freya was beautiful and married to the king of Gilgias, but his younger brother was a disabled person, which was a little unbelievable.
"Lewin married his cousin Evelyn, and the two had a total of three children, the eldest daughter Freya is now Her Royal Highness, and her son Alan was born with deformed legs and could not walk upright, and Evelyn died in childbirth when she gave birth to her third child, and the child could not be saved...... I heard about the dead child...... It's also a deformed child. Tiberius whispered.
After listening to Tiberius's words, Meng Fan roughly understood why Levin Nolan gave birth to a son with deformed legs like Allen, on the earth, cousins belong to close relatives who are forbidden to marry, and marriage between close relatives will greatly increase the appearance of genetic diseases and deformed children, but in the Qinglan continent, where scientific knowledge is not yet developed, cousins are not forbidden to marry.
"Lewin Nolan loved his wife Evelyn very much, and after Evelyn's death, Levine did not marry another woman...... Tiberius said.
Yes, I should have discovered that under the big locust tree not far away, Lewin, the lord of Ziyang City, was sitting next to his relatives, on the left side of Lewin sat Landry Pars, the king of Gilgias, and on the right side of Lewin sat Queen Freya, according to etiquette, Queen Freya should sit with the king, and on the right side of the Marquis of Lewin should also sit the Marquisate.
Turning around, Meng Fan picked up a piece of pastry from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, "Lewin only has one son, Allen?" Meng Fan asked while eating the pastry, "Yes, Lord Claude, Lewin Nolan, the Lord of Purple Sun City, only has one son, Allen. Tiberius nodded.
"Then ...... future" Meng Fan turned his head to look at Tiberius, if Levin only had one son, Allen, then Allen would take over his father's lordship in the future, but letting a person with deformed legs serve as the lord of Ziyang City, I am afraid it would cause the people to be suspicious.
"Lewin hasn't decided on his heir yet...... Tiberius replied as he looked at the big locust tree, "The Nolan family is a big family, and the lord of Purple Sun City, Lewin Nolan, has three brothers, all of whom have sons, and if Alan really can't take the throne, Lewin can choose one of these nephews to be his heir...... Dorne Nolan, who is now the city guard of Purple Sun City, is Lewin's nephew and is said to ...... Dorne could become the next Lord of Purple Sun. ā
Dorne Nolan, Meng Fan's gaze fell on the blonde man under the big locust tree, Meng Fan heard the eldest brother Bogula say that the ability of Dorne Nolan, the city defense officer of Ziyang City, is not bad, Dorne treats people sincerely, and is very respected by the soldiers and people of the territory in Ziyang City.
But...... A nephew is a nephew after all, although Alan has a disabled leg, he is the son of Levin and his cousin Evelyn, will Levin give his lordship to his nephew Dorne?
Two hours after the birthday party, the juggling performance began in the banquet hall, a wooden stage was set up on the grass where the banquet hall was located, and Lewin Nolan, the lord of Purple Sun City, invited a group of jugglers to perform at the banquet.
King Landry and Lewin and others came to sit on the edge of the stage to watch the performances of the actors, several gnome actors dressed as soldiers wielding wooden swords on the stage to "fight", these gnomes have funny movements and exaggerated acting skills to make the audience burst into bursts of laughter from time to time.
Meng Fan had no interest in this kind of sideworld vaudeville performance, and after watching it for a while, Meng Fan quietly left the stage, and Meng Fan strolled casually on the grass where the banquet was held.
In a few moments, Meng Fan walked through the meadow into a well-manicured garden, which was filled with tulips, red, yellow, and white...... Tulips of almost all colors can be seen in this garden.
It's the tulip season in full bloom, and the tulips are paved with a sea of colorful flowers. Meng Fan, who was walking in this sea of tulips, remembered that the family crest of the Levin Nolan family was a tulip, and it was not surprising that there were so many tulips in the garden of the Lord's Mansion of Ziyang City.
Meng Fan continued to walk along the path of the garden, ding dong ding...... The familiar melody sounded in Meng Fan's ears, it was Beethoven's "To Alice", and Meng Fan heard the sound of the piano coming from the center of the garden.
Slowing down, Meng Fan walked in the direction where the piano sound came from.
