Chapter 84: Deadly Nightmare (2)
Medium length brown hair, bright blue eyes, bright eyes without any spirit to speak of, listless, like a walking dead who has lost faith in life. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The melon seeds with just the right proportions have delicate facial features, and on the white left side of the face, there is a beauty mole not far from the corner of the mouth on the left side to add a lot of points.
The fiery girl wears a green tight top, the top is an avant-garde vertical collar design, and there are repeated cut-out patterns on the vertical collar, which are repeated but can form a new pattern all over the top, and the white shirt inside can be seen in the fine gaps of the cutouts;
In the middle of the medieval atmosphere, this dress is very avant-garde, although it cannot be compared with some well-designed luxury dresses, but it can also make the eyes of people who are accustomed to traditional aesthetics shine.
Such an avant-garde girl must have been a lively child, but the reality is the opposite, this one girl is now just standing to the side in a daze, her hands folded on top of her skirt.
Leander, who was standing in front of the other party, could also find an inconspicuous tear stain on the other party's low-hanging side.
"This is the way it is, and I hope Sir Leander will understand it. Bernie sincerely asked the other party that not long ago, he followed his father to meet the other lords on the battlefield, and now he will cooperate with the other party.
Politics is a thing, many times, like a facet, ready to be replaced at any time. There is no doubt that the young heir to the Duke of Domonides and the future ruler of the House of Knoyes has done a good job in this regard, knowing when and what kind of face he will use.
However, at a young age, he still has a fatal flaw, that is, he lacks the treacherous nature of politicians.
"I see, I'll actively cooperate with you. Although the child in front of him was the son of the duke's enemy, Leander still had a good impression of the other party.
Humility and honesty are the most obvious traits of the other person, which undoubtedly makes people feel good about it.
"That...... As much as I trust Sir Leander's arrangement, can I know what Anne's assignment will be?" seemed to be uneasy on this matter, but Bernie remained very cautious in this matter.
"It's okay, Miss Anne will arrange for Miss Shilinya for the rest of the time - I think we should have met, as maids by side, so that we can hide well and take care of each other. Leander had a good impression and was very happy to talk to the other party, and he told the other party the plan that he had come up with without reservation.
Leander's honesty reassured Bernie a lot, after all, the avant-garde but depressed girl behind him was his fiancée, and a good partner he had known since childhood, and the other party would be left alone in this strange place for a period of time in the future, how could this not be worrying?
"But I have one small request: I want as few people as possible to know about this thing - in fact, I think there are enough people who know about it now. "This is the first time that this child, who has always been trustworthy and can easily trust each other, has become so suspicious.
"That's right......" Leander didn't expect the other party to make such a request, in his opinion, this is not too cautious.
"Yes, I won't tell Miss Lady the truth, I'll make up a reasonable identity for Miss Anne. Leander, who had no choice but to agree to the other party's request, who wanted a letter from his lord asking him to fully cooperate with the other party?
"But Miss Anne, will she do some small work?" Although the other party agreed in principle, it is better to ask about some details, otherwise the future plan will be full of bugs.
Knock knock!
The two of them, who were discussing it, were suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door, and they didn't know who was visiting at this time. And Leander remembered that he had ordered the guards outside the door not to be met by anyone.
While he was wondering, Leander knew who was knocking on the door.
Without the other party's permission, Shilinya opened the door to the room, and entered the room as if no one was around, seemingly noticing the three people in the room now.
"Uncle Leander, I want to ......" Shilinya was about to speak, but she shut up, just now she thought that Leander was handling government affairs, so she took it upon herself to enter despite the guards' obstruction, and now it seems that she seems to have disturbed the other party's affairs.
One enemy who had met on the battlefield of Cold Creek, the other party was the eldest son of the Duke of Ian, and the other was a girl dressed in an avant-garde manner, and the other party didn't seem to be much older than herself, but the other party seemed to have undergone some major change and caused a serious blow, and now his eyes were blank, as if he had lost hope in the world.
"I'm sorry to disturb you!" Shilinya said with an apology, and although she was apologizing, she didn't look like she wanted to go out.
Why is the eldest lady so willful today? Leander originally hoped that the other party would be able to understand the general situation and go out first, so that he could deal with these conspiracies first.
"Miss, let me introduce you, this is the maid I have found for you, and she will take care of your daily life and food in the coming days. Shilinya's stay made Leander and Bernie very difficult, and Leander could only go down the river at this time, explaining the situation to the other party first, and as for the details, they could only negotiate later.
"No, I can solve my daily life by myself, and I don't need someone to take care of it. Although the other party sent a beautiful woman to the door, Shilinya still resolutely refused the other party's arrangement.
I'm a few generations ahead of you!
"No!" Leander was also very resolute, if Shilinya had come earlier, this matter could still be explained, but not now.
"At yesterday's ball, you didn't know how to put on makeup!Finally, Princess Karin's help is now spreading in aristocratic circles!This is not a good thing for you or for us!Now some of the nobles have looked down on you a little - they think your education is not up to you!" Leander slapped the table as he reasoned with the other man, trying to make an angry appearance.
The quality level of professional actors is very high, and Shilinya is really frightened by the "anger" of the other party, so she can only put away the concepts in her mind that are centuries ahead of her time, and constantly nod her head in agreement.
"This is Miss Anne, you have to learn more from her in the days to come, you know?" Leander, who originally wanted to beat people, has now disappeared and has become an amiable uncle again.
"Got it. "Trembling.
"Miss Anne, give me a lot of advice in the future!" Shirinya immediately said to the beautiful woman next to her who had no sense of existence, but this girl who seemed to have been played with did not react.
Awkward, Leander, Bernie, and Shilinya didn't know what to say now, and this distracted beauty was like a stone statue, standing here in a daze, and didn't make any movements.
"Ahem......" Bernie coughed embarrassedly, drawing their eyes to himself, "This friend of mine has suffered some setbacks recently, I'm going to help her enlighten her now, and I'll take my leave." ”
As if unable to bear Shilinya's angry gaze, Bernie immediately led the puppet-like girl out of the room, and disappeared from the eyes of the two after the wooden door opened and closed twice.
"Uncle Leander, why do I think this Bernie has abandoned this poor child after playing badly?" In an unfriendly tone, Shilinya, who was originally suppressed by the other party, began to question Leander, "Are you in the same boat as the other party?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" I don't know why, this eldest lady of my own is always a little cynical, and this ordinary thing can immediately raise it to a higher level.
"Tell me, what's the matter? If not, go back and do your own thing. Shilinya's crankiness didn't attract much attention from Leander, she just sat back at her desk and began to work on today's copywriting "I'm very busy today, and there have been a lot of things lately, and it's very complicated. ”
"One day, what will happen to Kayla when I become a duke?" Shilinya hesitated for a moment to throw out this question, which was a very cruel question, whether in a previous life or here, the closest brothers and sisters would turn against each other.
Leander, who was about to take the document, was frightened by this question, and his hand holding the document was still parked in the air and did not mean to move at all.
"Why do you suddenly want to ask this?" was thrown back by Leander with the official document he was holding, and the question was not easy to answer.
The current mainstream inheritance mage primogeniture inheritance method, the eldest son gets everything, while the others have nothing. For everyone except the eldest son, this is a very cruel inheritance law, and the slowness of coming into the world dooms the other party to have nothing in the end.
"It depends on what Alain means. "The honorific title of duke in the past has now been omitted, on this issue, Leander is not like other noble governors, after all, he is an old man who was born and died with the other party, and he still has a little say in the other party's family affairs.
"You can also say, depending on what you mean. Although it is vague, it is also the best answer.
If the eldest son who succeeded to the throne had a good heart, those brothers and sisters who had nothing would have been able to get some money and land in the end.
"What is the normal situation?" Shilinya was in her heart, in fact, she also planned to take good care of Kayla in the future, but today's words made Shilinya feel extremely worried.
"Because she is an illegitimate daughter who is not recognized, the best case in the future is to marry an earl or an earl's heir, the marquis's words are a little unrealistic, and it is not very possible to go up. But the identity of an illegitimate daughter is destined that this kind of marriage will not bring the other party too good status. In fact, the day Shilinya appeared in front of him, Leander began to avoid this question, but he did not expect to bring it out for discussion so soon.
Leander has been in contact with Kayla for a long time, and in any case, his feelings for Kayla are deeper, and this problem that Kayla faces in the future also makes Leander feel very sad.
The answers to "I ......" were prepared by Shilinya when she came, and these assumptions were based on the most ideal conditions, but none of these ideal situations satisfied Shilinya.
"Did I rob Kayla of her inheritance?" Entanglement, struggle, pain, these emotions lingered in his heart, but Shilinya did not stop there, this is a question that she does not know how to answer Kayla.
"It's not. Without much thought, Leander gave the other party an affirmative answer, but the explanation was not comfortable for this middle-aged man who was accustomed to all kinds of life.
"Kayla has no inheritance from the moment she was born until now, because she has not been recognized by Alain. "When Alain brought Kayla back, Leander knew that the other party had lost patience with finding Alicia and Shilinya, and that Kayla was just a reserve just in case.
The reality is cruel, for Kayla, but also for the illegitimate child who is not recognized in the world.
"The inheritance has always been yours, not Kayla's. In conclusion, Leander didn't make any eye contact with Shilinya, just buried his head in the copy, like a rock without any emotion to tell this fact.
With a heavy heart, Shilinya left the room that had brought her a bad mood.
