Chapter 39: Adelaide's Apology
To the left of the Hasquez family's floating island is a detached villa with a garden, where a variety of precious flowers compete for beauty, and twelve intermediate magicians are extravagant as gardeners, and under the care of magic, even delicate flowers that are suitable for growing in different regions in different seasons can bloom exceptionally brightly.

The villas in the heart of this beautiful sea of flowers are even more luxurious, and the Morte-esque architecture makes the entire building look like a work of art. Living here is the eldest lady of the Husquez family, Avery Hasquez.
At this moment, the beautiful lady was not in such a beautiful mood, she had just finished bathing, she was wearing a wide bathrobe, reclining on a rocking chair, and in front of her stood her only son, Adelaide.
"Adelaide, you've disappointed me. Avery stood up a little lazily, but her eyes were very sharp at Adelaide.
Adelaide looked a little reserved in front of Ellie: "Mother, I don't understand what you mean. ”
She sat down in her chair, and several maids stepped forward to take care of her nails, and she said seemingly nonchalantly, "I already know what happened today at Pais's Magical Item Shop. Didn't I say don't provoke Leon, and you should pamper him as if he were your own brother, and accommodate him, satisfy him, even at the expense of some of your own interests. ”
"Why?" said Adelaide unconvinced, "just a broken aristocratic relative." Mother, is it just because he is your own sister's son? But I have heard that you have a bad relationship with Aunt Wick. ”
Ellie frowned, she stood up and shook her hand and slapped Adelaide: "It's not your turn to intervene in my affairs." ”
Adelaide covered her face and was both aggrieved and angry: "You actually beat me because of Leon, why? Just because of a poor relative who didn't know where to come from?"
Adelaide is very talented and is known as a strong candidate for the next head of the family, but his short-sighted heart is very similar to his father who has been weak all his life, and he is proud of his talents and has no one in his eyes, which makes Adelaide very dissatisfied. With a wave of her hand, she dismissed the maids, leaving the room alone with her and Adelaide.
Eli lowered his tone and said softly, "Adelaide, my son, you must be clear, grandfather's love for Leon is almost undisguised, even more than you as the eldest great-grandson, and at the age of eighteen, he is already an eighth-level magician, and this talent is only inferior to you among his peers in the entire Huskes family. Most importantly, he is a disciple of Flat, and the future of the iron plate is a bloodline spirit pattern master. If his surname is Haskez, then I will do everything I can to get rid of him for you, but he is not, his surname is Alex, you know what that means? He is not only not an obstacle to you, but even the most important help in your life, you have to gain his trust, let him submit to you, you have to rely on him, you have to trust him, treat him like your own brother. ”
"And although Alex is lonely, but the family's industry will not disappear, even though the Alex family's financial resources are far inferior to Haskez, but they also have a crazy huge foundation, just the plane of complete control, they have twelve. It's all in our family's hands now, but my grandfather has already said that when Leon advances to the Sanctuary and can inherit his father's title, it will all be returned to him, and if he can't, he will wait until there is someone above the Sanctuary among his heirs. Although we can't really get Alex's inheritance, if we get Leon's trust, our lineage can naturally help Leon take care of part of Alex's inheritance, even if everything has to be returned to Leon in the end, but how long does it take for Leon to grow into the Sanctuary? Twenty years, fifty years, or even a hundred years? And Alex's lowest plane, a year's output is worth 30 million purple gold coins! ”
"And even if Leon arrives at the Sanctuary, is a Sanctuary worthy to protect such a large fortune? ”
The more Alley spoke, the more excited he became, and Adelaide looked at Alley's somewhat hideous expression because of his overexcitement, and couldn't help but shudder and lowered his head.
"Do you see what I mean? Adelaide, answer me. ”
Adelaide replied with some panic: "I understand, but ......"
He hesitated for a moment: "But Leon may not be so ...... to me Hmm, I like it. I think he misunderstood me. ”
"It doesn't matter, I've figured out some ways to make amends. Ellie thought for a moment and said, "After a while, you and I will come to the door to apologize in person, and I will prepare a heavy gift for Leon." ”
Adelaide nodded in agreement, although he was very unhappy to apologize to Leon, but in the face of Avery analyzing such a clear relationship, he decided that it was better to bow his head and admit his mistake.
Ellie continued, "Also, I'm going to marry Minnie Mouse to Leon. ”
"What?" retorted Adelaide aloud, "No, I disagree. ”
Ellie gave Adelaide a blank look: "I know you like Minnie's girl very much, but she doesn't help you much, the side she is in is completely dependent on us, and the marriage between you is of no use." You're going to marry Anasta, or Fenna, or Gutna, or the ladies of another family. ”
"Minnie's talent is very good, she is already a ninth-level sorcerer, and she still has a fourth-grade bloodline in her body, I think she can still be worthy of me. "Adelaide is very unwilling, he is already twenty-five years old, he has come into contact with many women, but only Minnie Mouse, a stunner, has completely conquered him in bed skills. The thought of Leon pressing on Minnie was enough to make him jealous.
Eli completely ignored Adelaide's words: "You have to listen to me at this point, Minnie's marriage to Leon makes Leon rely on us even more." ”
Adelaide said almost pleadingly, "Can't you send someone else?"
"No, there's no better fit than Minnie. Only her beauty and talent are worthy of Leon, the son of the martial god. Alley looked at Adelaide's lost appearance, smiled and comforted, "Silly boy, with such excellent conditions as you, are you afraid that there will be no noble lady like you to give you a hug?"
Adelaide grimaced and didn't say a word.
......
The Haskes family's floating island covers an area of hundreds of hectares, and in addition to the main castle of Bauhinia Castle, there are five guest houses, a building dedicated to gatherings, twelve small villas, and large and small gardens, the largest number of which vary in size are various special buildings, including shrines.
Although Leon was not a native of Haskez, he did not live in a guest house, but was placed in the main castle of Bauhinia Castle.
Eli did not live in the main castle, her house was one of the twelve villas, and when she had finished teaching her son Adelaide, she ordered her servants to prepare gifts and take Adelaide to visit Leon in the main castle.
Leon was reading a book in the Huskes family's library, and when he heard the waiter say that Ellie had come to visit him, he put down the book and got up to go back to the main castle.
Upon returning to the main castle, Leon saw his aunt outside his room, accompanied by several attendants in addition to Adelaide.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Ellie, for keeping you waiting. Leon apologized for having Ellie wait outside the door.
"It's okay, Leon, my dearest nephew. Ally hugged Leon warmly and kissed him on the cheek, "It's hard to study with Tutor Flat, isn't it? ”
Leon was a little embarrassed, he smiled and said, "You're still so pretty, aunt." Don't stand outside the door, let's go in and talk. ”
Entering the room, Leon said, "Please take a seat, I'll make you tea." ”
"Just leave these things to the maids. Ellie sat down on the couch and smiled casually, "Don't bother with us, we're not outsiders." ”
Leon quickly made a pot of black tea in the kitchen of his room, and he was very skilled at this basic skill. He poured three cups of black tea into the cup, added a certain proportion of fresh milk, stirred it with a spoon, put it in the tea tray, and brought it out.
He placed the tea on the table, and immediately a maid brought the cup to her for Ellie. Alley took a sip and exclaimed, "Little Leon, your tea-making skills are really good." ”
"Thank you for the compliment. Leon smiled shyly, he saw that Adelaide was still standing in front of him, as if he had forgotten the unhappiness of the two yesterday, and said enthusiastically, "Cousin, why are you standing, sit down and have a cup of tea." ”
Adelaide's face was a little unpleasant, and he lowered his head and refused to speak.
"Adelaide!" Ellie said, holding his teacup, his tone already a little serious, "Have you forgotten what you were going to say to Leon?"
Adelaide gritted his teeth and said quickly, "I was wrong about yesterday, I'm sorry, Leon. ”
Leon actually understood Alley's intentions a little, but he was still a little embarrassed to see her forcing Adelaide to come over and apologize: "I'm sorry, Aunt Alley, although I was a little angry yesterday, there is no need for you to bring your cousin to the door to apologize in person." ”
"Nope. "As an elder brother who doesn't know how to humble his younger brother, and as a nobleman who fights with his own family outside, Adelaide has done a bad job, and he must apologize for his actions." ”
Adelaide's stern eyes made Adelaide lower her head, and then she turned her head to look at Leon, and her tone softened: "Yesterday's incident was bad for him, Leon, can you forgive your cousin?"
"It's just a child's vindictiveness, there's no need to take it to heart. I've forgotten yesterday's unpleasantness. Leon lowered his posture and replied with a smile.
