Chapter 207: Pompous
Konstantin was in a hurry and hastily agreed to Christina's request.
However, as soon as he made this decision, some people spoke out against it:
"My lord, Christina...... Can't be the mother of that child. β
"Why?" Konstantin questioned.
She ...... I don't have a husband......"
The dean suddenly realized that Christina had indeed never been married, and she had only thought about the stakes just now, and had forgotten this most important condition.
"Can't you have a man without a husband?" said Christina, unhurriedly, "who of you adults doesn't have a lover or two?"
The one who retorted just now was not angry, but just smiled and asked, "Then how are you going to explain his background to that child?"
Christina smiled and replied, "That's where I'm the best place to be his mother." Let me ask you, my lords, since this child is from the Holy Courtyard, he must have some friends, right? But where can he find these friends? What if those children show their flaws?"
Konstantin nodded slowly.
"Besides, how many of your sons have not been seen by Lord Sardin, and why, Lord Satin has not recognized him?"
After this turmoil, Sardin's status seems to have risen, and even Christina has unconsciously changed her name for him.
"What do you mean...... then?" asked Sardin.
"Haha, my solution is very simple......" Christina smiled charmingly: "He is the child I gave birth to for my lover, so in order not to cause gossip, I have to keep him on Chixia Mountain all the time." He had only seen those servants since he was a child, except me, so he had no friends and was reluctant to speak...... Ah, even I was touched by this story......"
"And if he asks you who his father is, how will you answer?"
"Well...... Of course you can't say that......" Christina chuckled.
Hearing this, even Sardin had to admit that Christina's words were indeed very reasonable.
"Okay, I'll think it's settled......" Konstantin said with a smile, "That's fine, Christina will play the play alone, and we don't have to pretend to know that kid." β
......
On the seventh day after the big exam, Alie brought Phoebe to visit Donner as usual.
For the fourth time since Layla stayed with Donner, Allel had appeared, and the dinner that Una had prepared for them was more and more sumptuous each time.
Downer was even vaguely worried: would this be too expensive?
Subconsciously, he always felt that he was eating and drinking for nothing, and it was inevitable that one day, Sardinia would ask him to collect money.
However, he could not make Una frugal or refuse the enthusiasm of Alet, who had been his most important source of information since he came to the Lower House of Fire.
Thinking that the delicacy would have to pay the bill one day, he himself had to maintain an aristocratic reserve. So, with the simple idea that the fat and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, he ordered Layla to eat more.
However, when it comes to eating, where is Phoebe's opponent in Portern's girl?
Seeing that Layla was already powerless, but Phoebe was still at ease, Donner couldn't help but sigh.
Layla is instructed by Donner to finally get out of a gluttonous battle that is doomed to defeat.
"Brother Ale, how can I join the Magic Circle Association?" said Layla, not forgetting to sneak a peek at Phoebe, who didn't seem to notice her previous rivalry at all, and still kept herself eating at a desperate rate.
"Layla wants to join the Magic Circle Guild?" asked Alie with a smile, and although it was the fourth time, he still wasn't quite comfortable dining with a Porteron girl.
"I want to give it a try. Layla smiled sweetly.
"Ambitious," Alie's praise for Layla was, of course, for Donner's sake, "However, if Layla wants to join the Magic Array Association, it is still difficult for the time being." β
"Are they demanding?"
"Well," Ali replied, "You must be a Blue Bird Mage or above to join the Magic Array Association, and you have to take an assessment to join the Association." β
"What do you want to assess?"
"I don't know about this, but it probably has something to do with drawing a magic array. Allie replied casually.
"Then where is the Magic Array Association? Specifically to participate in the assessment?" Layla's status has risen since she became Donner's personal maid, and even if there are many questions, Aliel will have answers.
"The association should be in St. Petersburg, you don't have to go there for the assessment, there is a branch in the Intermediate Court. β
"Brother Aleh knows so much!"
"Haha, what kind of ...... is this" Alie smiled and waved his hand, and said to Donner: "My lord, have you heard? This time in the big exam of the fifth academy, the top of the lower academy is in our academy." β
Before Donner could speak, Una was already laughing.
"Sister Una, what are you laughing at?" said Ale.
Una glanced at Donner, and seeing that he didn't look unhappy, she said softly, "You don't know who John Smith is, do you?"
"Does Senior Sister know?" said Ale.
Una chuckled, but didn't answer.
Alie was in a moment of surprise when the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open, and Dean Sardinia stood outside the door with a kind face.
I saw a beautiful young woman beside the dean walking in the door with a nervous expression.
The moment the young woman's eyes fell on Donner, she suddenly covered her mouth with her hands and burst into tears.
"It's really you, kid!"
Before Donner could figure out the situation, the young woman had already rushed in front of him and grabbed his head in her arms, and Donner was covered for a while and had a little difficulty breathing.
"It's good if it's him, it's good if it's him......" Dean Sardin wiped the tears that didn't exist from the corners of his eyes, and said tremblingly: "Christina, don't scare the child...... He's not completely emotionally stable yet. β
None of Christina Una, Alet, and Phoebe had ever seen the young woman, but they couldn't have heard the nameβthe head of the House of Fire!
Moreover, they had already instantly understood the meaning of this scene: this Young Master Hailian was the child of the dean of the Intermediate Court.
However, Donner was completely confused.
As if hearing Sartin's reassurance, Christina gently let go of Donald, then held the latter's face, rubbing it and asking softly, "Child...... You don't know your mother anymore?"
As she spoke, she was still crying.
Seeing this scene of the reunion of mother and son, Una and others were also moved to tears.
Only Donner looked confused: Could it be that his mother did not die, but wandered to the Magic Continent?
By this time, Satin had already walked up to Christina's side and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be too sad, isn't the child very good." β
"It's all mom that's bad! it's all mom that's bad!" Christina still kept crying, "It's all because mom keeps locking you up on Chixia Mountain...... That's why you're going to sneak to the Monster Mountains......"
Donner let out a cry of horror, he was almost about to speak Hulse.
It turns out that he is a fake.
Once he saw through this, Donner realized that this eldest sister's performance was too exaggerated!
(Let's see how Donner battles wits and courage with this big sister with pompous acting skills.) Ask for a monthly pass!Ask for a recommended ticket!) (To be continued.) )
