"The Marquis is back!" With a shout from the butler of the Elber family's mansion, the thick main door was slowly pushed open, and a man about 60 years old was surrounded by more than 100 people and strode in.

"Father!" Maher Elber, who had already stood in the doorway, bent down and said when he saw his father returning, "You have worked hard. ”

The man, the father of the three Maher brothers, Julius Elber, nodded at his second son, and he looked around, but saw not his eldest and third, and asked, "What about Mayne and Klaus?"

"This ......" Maher hesitated for a moment, walked up to his father in a few steps, and whispered: "Big brother, he's ......"

"Is there anything you can't say?" said Julius, displeased, "all of you are my cronies, and there's nothing you can't say." Julius's words puffed up the chests of all those who followed, and it was clear that there was no more important reward for them than to be so trusted by their master.

Maher was helpless, he knew that sooner or later the news of his eldest brother's defeat would reach his father's ears, so it was better to tell him now, so he said: "Today, the eldest brother and others had a life-and-death fight......

"Oh, Mayne, who's he challenging again? Isn't it over yet?"

"No, father, big brother he, he lost!"

"Hmm, Mayne, he actually lost, isn't he already at the top of the high-level mage? Is there any mage in Mochizuki City who can fight against him? ”

"Yes, it's a team from the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic. ”

"Imperial Capital Academy of Magic?" When Julius heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at one of his subordinates with inquiring eyes, and that person immediately spoke: "My lord, the five magic exchange students from the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic who came to Mochizuki City are only at the level of junior magicians, and it is impossible for the strength of the eldest prince to lose to them." However, recently, Faraz, the daughter of Luke, the actual ruler of the imperial capital, came to the south with a small team, and they arrived at the Freedom Paradise not long ago, and the Freedom Heaven soon declared its neutrality, listening to the meaning of the second prince, most of them did it. ”

"Immediately intensify surveillance of them, but do not act rashly. Julius said, "Oh, by the way, are they very strong, and what is the purpose of their coming to Mochizuki City?"

"My lord, the information about Faras and her teammates has been compiled by her subordinates in your study, but because you have been ...... for the past few days"

Julius nodded, he hadn't been in Mochizuki City in the past few days because he had something very important, so he might have been a little slow to know some information, and he didn't blame his subordinates at all, according to the rules he set, only those like national events were qualified to use the fast track, and they would pass it on to him at all costs.

"How's Mayne now? Is he badly injured? Take me to see it!"

"Yes, father, please come to me. ”

When Julius arrived at the residence of his eldest son, Mayne, with eight personal guards, he saw Pastor Mania coming out of his eldest son's room, and he immediately greeted: "It's Mania, what's the matter, have you come to treat Mayne?

Dressed in a snow-white priest's robe, Mania was in her mid-30s, and although she was wearing a wide robe, it couldn't hide her slender figure at all. As a clergyman, Mania's face had always remained serious, but when she saw Julius walking towards her, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her deliberately stiff face, and the charm of a mature woman was undoubtedly revealed in this smile.

It wasn't until Julius came to her side that she spoke: "Actually, it's just a little flesh wound, but since Mayne hasn't suffered any setbacks before, this defeat has hit his spirit very hard, and he is now disheartened, I'm afraid it will ...... his future growth."

"It's okay if it's okay, it's okay if it's nothing. Julius rubbed his hands again and again and said, "This little fellow is almost 30, and he still doesn't let me worry." Isn't it just a one-game loss? If the Elber family had collapsed because of such a thing, I'm afraid it would have been wiped out 200 years ago, right?"

"If it's nothing, I, I'll go first. ”

"I'll give you a hand. A tender look suddenly appeared on Julius' face, and he gently took Mania's hand, and the latter's body stiffened suddenly. When Maher saw his father doing this, he immediately turned to look outside, but Julius's eight personal guards turned a blind eye to their master's movements, and they still looked around vigilantly, and two of them even stared at the priest Mania with their eyes to prevent any accidents.

Julius also knew that now was not a good opportunity to fall in love, he just shook Mania's hand for a while, and then gently let go, and Mania's face was very complicated, with both a relieved expression and an unwilling resentment, of course, these Julius couldn't see it, because he only saw the back of Mania leaving.

"Maher!"

"Ah, father. I am here. Maher heard his father calling to him, and immediately turned away.

"Go, drag Mayne out of my room, and take her to my study. Julius pointed to Mayne's room and said, "And Klaus, don't mess with me all day, come to my study." ”

"This ......"

"Why, don't you even listen to me?"

"Don't dare, father, I'll go now. Maher was startled and hurried into Mayne's room.

Klaus silently turned to see his second brother walk in, and then turned to look at his eldest brother Mayne, who was sitting on the ground. Maher didn't bother to say anything to them, but quickly walked up to the eldest brother, dragged him up, and then grabbed Klaus's arm and dragged them out.

Mayne remained silent and let Maher do it, while Klaus whispered, "Second brother, what are you doing here?"

Maher glared at him vigorously and said, "Shut up, this is my father's order, come with me quickly, my father will meet the three of us in the study." ”

As soon as he heard that this was his father's order, Clauseton's heart was weak, because the whole thing was caused by the fact that he had gone to the imperial capital to see Faraz, and if his father held him accountable, he was afraid that he would be punished. But Klaus did not dare to disobey his father's orders, the three brothers lost their mother when they were young, and their father was the sky above their heads. In this way, Klaus, with a feeling of anxiety, and his second brother Maher carried his eldest brother Mayne to his father's study.
