After leaving the Montier cemetery, Saugland and a group of young men went straight to their family's estate outside the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoStrictly speaking, the entire estate is Reinhardt's property and has nothing to do with Saulgrand. But the tenants and tenants of the estate were happy to consider the Traveling Judge as their master, which gave them an extra sense of security and pride.

The young people gathered in the spacious living room to chat and play, while Sogrend led Nataya upstairs into her study.

As soon as the door of the study was closed, the chief of guard of the Queen of Arlan knelt on one knee in front of Thorgrande.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Ruce," Nataya bowed her head, "I didn't expect this to become a public affair that would be known to the entire continent. ”

"That's not the point, Nataya." "I confess that I am a little angry at this, and the reason why I am angry is not because of your own actions, but because you actually deceived a child into carrying things that she should not have carried. ”

"I'm sorry, Lord Luce."

"Your excuse should go and say it to Messis!" Sogrend said.

"Your Excellency, you don't know, that after that night, Your Majesty has been in tears, and the Senate has exerted a lot of pressure on her. You should know how much she loves and adores you. And the Senate was so desperate for her to produce an heir with noble blood. ”

"So, you're faking this? Who is Messis's real father? ”

"A nameless slave who looks a little like you, Your Majesty ...... after confirming that she was pregnant"

"Kill him, for if there were gods, they would not forgive you for such a crime."

"I'm so sorry......"

"As I said, the apology should be expressed to the victims, and I am facing only some trivial reputational issues." Sogrede's anger grew, "I always thought that Penthesilea was a kind girl, I didn't expect her to do such a thing, the throne is really so important to her?" ”

"This is all my idea, please don't misunderstand Your Majesty, when she lost you, she was so lost, and I was also a ghost, so I gave Your Majesty such an idea."

"Forget it," Thorgrande waved his hand, "I have no jurisdiction over the Arlans, and I can't punish you with the laws of Pharansy for what you do." As for Messis, don't worry, I'll treat her as my own. The honor that Penthesirea hopes she will receive, I will give to this child in its entirety. I am not doing this to endorse and condone your courtiers, but only to avoid harming Messydis, and not to want her to make the same mistakes as you. ”

"Thank you so much, my lord, thank you so much." Nataya bowed down, her eyes filled with tears, because her queen's long-cherished wish had finally been fulfilled in a sense.

Just as Thorgrande was about to end his conversation with Nataya, there was a commotion outside. Thorgrande walked to the window and looked out, and in the reflection of the setting sun, a wyvern circle larger than an ordinary individual slowly descended from the sky. It's a beautiful picture. Of course, Thorgrande knew the dragon knight, and he even knew the wyvern, "Fire Star", whose original owner was Arudina Singald.

About five minutes later, a loud sound of military boots caught the attention of everyone in the living room. Sogrend also happened to walk out of the study and down the stairs. The first thing that catches everyone's eye is a fiery red, followed by a wisp of tan.

"Ah, sister, you're finally back, but I'm in a hurry." Reinhardt greeted him with a smile.

Naturally, the "sister" she calls her is the current heir to the Ranfonte family, Éclair Lanfonte, who is also the adopted daughter of Saugland and Chinna. Her armor and uniform are fiery red, and as a dragon knight, she studied under Admiral Mazarel Wing Mnast and inherited the dragon Firemeteor from the retired Admiral Arudina Singald. As a result, she earned a resounding nickname in the Falencian army - "Burning Clouds".

Eclair didn't immediately respond to her sister's greeting, she first glanced at everyone in the living room with a grim gaze, and only stayed on Theodora for a few more moments. After doing this, the dragon knight returned his smile to Reinhardt. She hugged her sister affectionately and spoke to her affectionately.

"Let me introduce you to our guests." Reinhartra took Eclair's hand.

"Wait a minute, there's no rush." Eclair said that at this time she saw Sogrerd and Nataya standing on the edge of the stairs, and she gently removed her sister's small hand and walked straight to Sogrend.

"Ike, how are you doing?" Sogrand greeted first.

"I've been doing well, uncle, but you have time to come back and have a look, I heard that you and Rhine went to see your mother together?" Eclair replied, looking cold.

While others marveled at Eclair's attitude, Fiona noticed another detail. Eclair calls Saugland neither "father" nor "father", but "uncle". It's so strange, and what's even stranger is that she still calls China "Mother".

"Yes, we came back from there together." Sogrend replied.

"I hope you'll be able to stay home a little longer this time, but you should be staying a little longer this time." As Eclair said this, her eyes kept pressing on Nataya, who was beside Sogrend. The Arlans, who had just been reprimanded by Sogrend, were even more at a loss at this time.

"Sister, come on, let's get to know the guests first." Seeing this, Reinhardt hurriedly came up and pulled Eclair away.

"Lord Ruce......" Nataya exhaled with difficulty.

"Don't care," Thorgrande smiled wryly, "this child is too much like her mother, too much like her mother when she was younger. ”

Reinhardt cheerfully introduced the new guests to Eclair, who was as polite as she deserved to Lan Feng and the people of Mastar. When she reunites with Nastasya, she smiles even more. But when Reinhardt introduced Mesidis, Eclair's attitude quickly changed. Her gaze became unusually stern, and she stared at the little girl deadly. When Messys saw such a fierce situation, she immediately retreated in fright.

"You scared her, she's still a child." Seeing this, Celedora stepped out to support Messis's young body.

Eclair didn't respond to her words, but instead cast such a look at Theodora. Cerodora certainly wouldn't be afraid of this level of deterrence, and her pride as Princess Mastar's would be enough to fend off such an attack for her. Theodora felt a little angry, she couldn't understand why the military beauty with royal blue eyes in front of her could be so aggressive.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess of Mastar, as rumored, is very good at caring for women, and why did she come all the way to a poor country like Farensi? Isn't it good for everyone to stay in the warm and cozy palaces of the South all the time? Eclair openly expressed his displeasure with Cerdora.

"I'm just here to find out the truth." Cyodora replied.

"The truth? The truth is that you shouldn't be here, you're not welcome here, and you aren't needed. ”

"I don't think it's something you can make the right judgment about alone." To the surprise of the Mastarns, Cyodora was able to remain calm in the face of such a provocation. You know, when you are in Shurasa, those who dare to provoke the "Alien Pupil Enchantress" will be immediately and mercilessly attacked.

Just when things were about to happen, an old voice softened the atmosphere.

"Hey, hey, Sarah, I should have heard Eco's voice, you can help me see if she's back."

"Grandma Helena, you heard it right, Sister Eco and Sister Rhine are here, Uncle Luce and my brother are there, and there are some other guests." The girl named Sarah leaned down and leaned into the old man's ear and replied.

"Ouch, my eyes are really not good, I can't see clearly." Old Mrs. Luce squinted and looked into the center of the parlor for a long time.

"What are you waiting for, let's meet grandma." Reinhardt laughed and dragged the two girls who were still in the confrontation and pulled them both towards the old man's wooden wheelchair. So, the bystanders looked at the two people who were still tense a moment ago and squatted in front of Mrs. Luce with awkward expressions. Nastasya smiled and paced slowly.

"Sure enough, it's Eco, why have you been so busy lately, you haven't come to see me for a long time." The old man grumbled as he lovingly reached out and stroked Eclair's sideburns.

"Grandma, there are a lot of things going on in the army." Eclair gently grabbed the old man's hand and replied.

"Then I can't go home." Mrs. Luce laughed, "Hey, who is this beautiful girl over here?" ”

"Grandma, she's Cyodora, and she's your granddaughter." Reinhardt took the opportunity to say, "And her, Messis, or your granddaughter, your youngest granddaughter." ”

Compared with Theodora's hesitation, Mexidis immediately seized the opportunity and called "Grandma" in a milky voice. This immediately won the favor of the old lady, who was very fond of children. Messys was also very clever, not only did she not listen to the calls of "grandma" and "grandma", but she also climbed up to the old man's knee and kissed the old lady.

"Sister Theodora, hurry up and scream." Reinhardt urged softly.

Theodora was still hesitating, but at this time she seemed to hear a contemptuous snort from Eclair. This made Princess Mastar's heart suddenly angry, and she unceremoniously opened her voice and called out to Mrs. Old Luce: "Dear grandmother, I am Cyodora, and I am so glad to see you at last. ”

"Haha, I have four granddaughters this time." The old man opened his thin arms and hugged the four girls in his arms.

The old man's move brought the faces of Cyodora and Eclair together, and it was very embarrassing for both girls, who both tried to avoid more intimate contact with each other, but they did not try too hard to defeat the old lady's interest.

"Isn't that great, my dear sisters?" Reinhardt said softly with a smile.

was said by my sister, and the two people who were originally making trouble had to relax and concentrate on experiencing the taste of family affection.

"I mean, when are you going to be tired of Grandma Helena? Make a place for me as a guest from afar, I miss my grandmother very much in Renosque. "The black swans of Renosque also came up to join in the fun.

"Ah, really, I forgot about Sister Natasha, so I'll let you take this position for the time being." Reinhardt said as he stood up and pulled Nastasya over. "Grandma, this is Sister Natasha, you should remember her."

"Remember, remember, how can you not remember?" The old man looked at Nastasya carefully, "I remember when Thorge first brought you back to you, you were very thin and small, like a kitten that had just been born, and you looked like an eight-year-old child." Now it's good, she's grown into a big girl, and her appearance is also peugeot. ”

"That's all because you took good care of it, grandma." Nastasya laughed.

"All right, ladies, you don't have to eat if you continue to talk like this." Sogrend came over and interrupted them, "We have time for the evening, you can move all the beds into one room and toss around, but it's dinner time now, let's go eat first, don't let the guests go hungry." Sarah, let me do it. ”

"Yes, Uncle Leus." Miss Landier stepped aside and let Thorgrande push his mother's wheelchair.

"Daddy, can we really move the beds together at night?" Reinhardt asked.

"Yes, of course, you can have a pillow fight, but don't make it too late."

"Great, I love you!" Reinhardt jumped up and kissed her father on the cheek, although she managed to run a huge business empire, she was still a young girl in the flower season.

At the same time, in the palace of Aruk, Queen Margaret had just finished dinner, chatting with her ministers with tea.

"So, the princess of Mastar, has already seen Saulgrand?" The Queen asked.

"That's true, they met in the Montier cemetery." Admiral Sauer replied that he had learned from the Praetorian Guard, who had followed him.

"Although this matter has been rumored for a long time, no one can confirm it, can it?" The queen said, "Oh, our Captaincy the Parade Judge has always acted without leakage, how can this time leave such a sequelae?" ”

The ministers were amazed that the queen would make a sarcastic remark on Saugland, and no one except Lieutenant General Beta knew that Margaret was quite unhappy after reading the letter from Sigrani handed by Michel Lance. After kicking the others out of the study, she shut herself in and threw a tantrum, as if to scold Thorgrande. After venting, the queen immediately reverted to her standard diplomatic posture, and told the eldest son of the Reims family her thoughtful arrangements with a pleasant face.

"The after-effects seem to have left more than one." Rastigne continued. The official whom Sogrend had personally appointed had been in the position of prime minister for ten years, and no one doubted that he would be in office for ten years. Rastigne's outstanding political skills are obvious to all, and the queen's favor in him is quite solid.

"Oh? Is there a second one? The queen asked, raising an eyebrow.

"A little girl who claims to be Princess Arlan also seems to be a descendant of Lord Luce." Rastigne replied.

"Arlan?"

"Ah, that was an island country we passed through on our first trip to Efini, and its customs were peculiar." Maximis explained to the queen that he is now one of the royal family's royal physicians.

Sogrend, this bastard, actually hooked up with a woman other than Sigrani! That was Queen Margaret's actual idea at the time, but she definitely couldn't help but shout.

"Ahaha, I've heard of that place, and the women there are said to be very beautiful and amorous."

"I say it's not surprising that there's nothing surprising to let Lord Luce settle in that kind of place, it's like a wolf in a flock...... Ah, no...... It should be sheep in the wolf pack...... Ah, that's not right...... All in all, it's normal for this kind of thing to happen. ”

"But hasn't Lord Leuss been associating with Miss Rabelais all along?"

"yes, or we should also consider having an heir to the Rabelais family, I think that's a good direction."

Her Majesty frowned and coughed lightly, she really couldn't bear that the group of old men in the Privy Council actually started gossiping like aunts in the vegetable market. Could it be that the glorious traditions of the Third Legion are beginning to erode the government system of the entire kingdom?

"Your Majesty, there is a very real problem." Rastigne said suddenly.

"What is the real problem?" The queen turned her head.

"If Princess Theodora offers to inherit the Leuss family, what should we do?"

"What's going on?"

"According to the provisions of the Great Code, the first heir of a family is the eldest son of the family, and if there is no male heir, then the first heir is the eldest daughter of the family. As it stands, Major Éclaire Lanfonte has inherited the name of the Lanfonte family, not to mention that she is only the adopted daughter of Lord Luce. Now the eldest of Lord Leus's children is no longer Miss Reinhardt, but His Royal Highness Theodora. If she proposes to change her surname and inherit the Luce family, then we can't refuse. Rastigne explained.

"Is there a way to prevent this?" Margaret asked, covering her forehead.

"There is one," said Rastigne, "and that is to marry Miss Reinhardt as soon as possible, and if a boy is born, it will be for him to inherit the family of Leus." ”

"It's a good idea, Lesqing has been hiding his precious daughter for too long, and if she dresses up well, little Rhine will surely fascinate the whole of Caiunescu's social world. I see, Prime Minister, I'll find a way to arrange it. Use a royal event to get Miss Leuss into the social circle of Caiunescu. The queen smiled.

"My bunnies are going to beat their heads to the brink for them." When Admiral Ernest Sauer heard this, he muttered to himself.
