Chapter 29: If you don't want it, you're strong

After coming out of Conina's house, Sun Chenghuan walked back to his home alone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

His heart was beating so fast that he kept taking deep breaths and regulating his emotions.

He was nowhere near as confident as he appeared in front of Conina.

He's actually quite apprehensive.

Both of them really asked their fathers.

Unlike him, a lonely orphan who went to turn the pages and did not get any constructive advice, the two brothers, who were both the most prominent sons in their respective families, received serious answers from their fathers.

At noon the day before yesterday, the three of them got together and discussed the approach that seemed a bit threatening.

But whether it is effective or not, he really has no score in his heart.

At noon the next day, the three of them got together again.

Cutran and Lial also seem to be like Sun Chenghuan, looking apprehensive.

"We didn't sleep well last night. What Ketlan and Liar said made Sun Chenghuan, who had been tossing and turning all night, feel a little better.

For the three of them, they have no way of knowing what the outcome of this first plan that the three of them have worked together has been until the admissions results of the second college come out.

It's like a gambler in a gambling house.

The dice were rolled, and as a result, they had to resign themselves to fate.

So, this lunch, the three of them ate a little stuffy.

It wasn't until a knock on the door of the box where the three of them were dining that the somewhat oppressive silence was broken.

It's just that the person who pushed the door open made the atmosphere in the room that was not very good even more weird.

"Ketran, and Sun Chenghuan...... Well, this should be the Li Yaer that Sun Chenghuan recommended to me yesterday, right?"

The people who walked into the room were very polite.

Neither humble nor arrogant.

Standard aristocratic etiquette.

"Big brother, this is ......" Cutland looked at the person who came in, stunned, and quickly stood up, intending to introduce the visitor.

"This is the one Mills from whom we discussed yesterday at noon, right?" said Lyal, who took the conversation from Cutland, and then gave Cutland a wink.

Cutland shut up immediately.

That look, he knows.

Tell him to shut up.

"Conina's brother-in-law, Lord Morich. On the side, Sun Chenghuan continued to speak.

He knew that if Liar wanted to shut up Ketran, he naturally wanted to speak for himself.

Theoretically, I should know Moric better.

"Sun Chenghuan, you don't need to introduce me like that. Morric, who walked into the room, smiled slightly, "You didn't treat me as Conina's brother-in-law, what about me...... I didn't think of you as a friend of Conina, we just knew each other. ”

Be quiet.

There are a lot of implications in this kind of talk.

The three of them exchanged glances with each other.

"You're here......" Liar picked up.

He knew that in this situation, only he was convenient to stand up and speak.

"Oh, this morning I went to the City Lord's Mansion to visit the City Lord, and when I saw Young Master Ketlan, I originally wanted to inquire about some news about Mr. Liar, but he was in a hurry to go out, so after I finished talking to the City Lord, I had to come out and look for Master Ketlan again, but I didn't expect you to really be together. Moric said with a look of surprise and joy.

If you believe, you will have ghosts.

The three of them looked at each other again, and in each other's eyes, they saw this sentence.

"Am I disturbing your meal......" Moric glanced at the table of the three.

"Oh, no! We are also very honored to have the future Earl, and you may be seated. Li Yaer said quickly.

The three of them gave in and gave Moric to the upper seat.

Moric sat down, the smile on his face still hanging, but what he said made the three of them not laugh anyway.

"What Sun Chenghuan said to me in the Baron's Mansion yesterday, are you here to discuss?"

"Yes. Sun Chenghuan nodded and said before Li Yaer.

Li Yaer quietly pulled Sun Chenghuan's clothes.

Sun Chenghuan shook his head.

He could see that Moric had come to find him.

Moric was very satisfied with Sun Chenghuan's reaction.

Sun Chenghuan saw it.

Because the smile on Morich's face was even stronger.

"I don't think you've misunderstood something?"

"What?"

"Actually, I don't care about this barony in Marlena's family. Moric put away the smile on his face and looked at Sun Chenghuan seriously.

Look at each other.

I believed it. Sun Chenghuan nodded.

"I mean really. "Moric is still serious.

"I'm honest, too. Sun Chenghuan is also very serious.

"I met Marlena eight years ago, when I went with my housekeeper to inspect the territory. Moric saw that if he didn't say something, Sun Chenghuan's appearance would not change. "On the way back to Mills, I passed by Yingao City. Then...... It was outside the city gates that I and the butler of our Earl's Court, who could not reveal our identities, were waiting in line to enter the city, and several people with a girl stood behind me. It was a very beautiful girl, so beautiful that I knew it was rude to peek, but I kept sneaking my eyes at her. After a while, two soldiers came over and invited the girl to go directly into the city, and the girl pointed to me standing in front of her, and asked why everyone else had to line up, and she could go in directly...... She's going to have to line up to get in. ”

There was silence in the room.

It is rude to make any noise in this kind of storytelling.

Then, with the girl, I lined up and entered the city. Moric let out a long sigh as he said this.

There is no need to introduce who the girl is, everyone has guessed who it is.

"In order to marry Marlena, I refused four blind dates arranged by my father for the next two years. "Among them is the daughter of a duke, the daughter of a marquis." Eventually, after begging my mother for help in speaking in front of my father, I was allowed to propose to the Baron de Nagrande. If I were not the only heir in my family, I am afraid that I would have no chance of inheriting the title of Earl by now. ”

Sun Chenghuan nodded, he really believed this story.

Because last night, although he had only spent a short time with Marlena from the entrance of the baron's palace to the dining room, he could see that it was a happy woman.

"So, you designed this thing, from the beginning, wrong. Moric smiled and sighed, shaking his head, "I'm not eyeing anything in the Baron Nagrand's house, I thought about it for a long time last night, and I didn't think that there was anything in the Nagrand family that was worth doing it...... What do you guys think?"

"The Nagrandes have a little bit of influence in the military. Sun Chenghuan glanced at Li Yaer, who was not looking very good next to him, and felt that it was reliable to stand up by himself.

"The influence of the army?" Moric paused for a moment and smiled. "The daughter of the duke who I rejected on a blind date...... The surname is Murong. ”

Sun Chenghuan was stunned.

Liar and Ketran, who were silent next to them, were also stunned.

Duke is the highest rank among the noble titles, and it is also a kind of knighthood with great honor that is very cherished by the House of Elders. In the whole kingdom of Merce, there is such a title, which can be counted on one hand.

Among them, there is only one Penglai surname with the surname Murong.

The title inherited by Murong Yan, the marshal of the Northern Garrison Legion on the border between the Mers Kingdom and the Northern Langu Kingdom.

"Rejected the Murong family's family affairs......" Li Yaer next to him interjected.

"So I'm just a second-generation aristocrat who is idle in Mills. I accompany my wife everywhere every day, and this time if it weren't for the urgency of the second college, the second college was understaffed, and my wife just wanted to come home to have a look, you should see a teaching assistant from the second college the day after tomorrow. Moric smiled and shook his head.

"You are a ...... of the Second Academy"

"Ten years ago, graduated from the Second Academy. Moric nodded and said, "Our Carnisas Prize is mine." ”

"Kanizas Prize...... What is it?" asked Sun Chenghuan with a questioning expression.

"A medal awarded to the graduates of the Second Academy. Generally speaking...... It's like recognizing that person is the best of all the graduates in that class. Ketlan added.

Then, keep silent.

Sun Chenghuan nodded.

No wonder Duke Murong wanted to marry his daughter to him......

"You're underestimating me. Moric smiled politely and nodded to Cutland, but his words were not polite at all, "Even your father has underestimated me a little." ”

"It's true that the city is remote, and there is not enough information about many things...... We know that you once rejected the proposal of Duke Murong's family, so we definitely won't do such a stupid thing. Lear sighed and shook his head.

He felt a little aggrieved.

Yesterday at noon, the three of them felt that they had come up with the best and most secure plan.

Now it seems......

If people don't care about the Nagrand family's sesame mung bean power at all, they just withdraw and leave, and let a few of you grab it, and the result will definitely not be very good.

"Actually, it's not that stupid. On the side, Sun Chenghuan shook his head.

Li Yaer was stunned.

"Although we only learned about Mr. Morić and Conina's sister today, we also believe that there is a ...... between them. It's because they really have feelings that they are together. But...... Baron Nagrand didn't necessarily believe it. Sun Chenghuan had a little smile on his face.

"Why don't you believe it?" said Morich, who was stunned for a moment, laughed.

looked at Sun Chenghuan's eyes, a little more scrutiny.

"It's simple, I'm poor. Sun Chenghuan spread his hands at Morich, "So I know very well that when I have very few things, I will pay more and more attention to what I have." Sometimes there is even a little ...... Pathological paranoia. ”

"Well, that makes sense. Moric nodded.

Li Yar was also stunned for a moment, and then, fell into deep thought.

"Like when I got along with Lear and Ketlan in the early days, I always felt like they were thinking about me. Sun Chenghuan continued: "If it weren't for the incident two years ago that made me believe that they really regarded me as a friend, maybe I wouldn't have been able to say those words last night. ”

"Well, it's hard to win people's trust. Moric continued to nod. "Looks like you went through some ...... two years ago Big things. ”

"The three of us almost died together. Ketlan said lightly.

β€œ...... I envy you. Moric looked at Sun Chenghuan. "Actually, you're right, Baron Nagrand talked to Conina last night after Marlena and I left, and talked about it in the early hours of this morning, and I knew that you had succeeded. Even if it was clear that I didn't have any idea about the Naglan family, Marlena believed that I didn't have any idea, but Baron Nagland didn't believe it. ”

"So you have to find me today?" Sun Chenghuan nodded.

"Yes, and I can't ask Conina yet. Because I'm sure I'll ask her and she'll bargain with me...... She's too innocent compared to you. Moric sighed.

Sun Chenghuan was silent.

"You don't like Conina at all, do you?" Moric looked at Sun Chenghuan deeply.

"What do you think Sun Chenghuan will like Conina?" Cutland, who was next to him, looked at Sun Chenghuan, who didn't know how to answer Morich's words, and could only say it for him.

Then, he was glared at by Liar.

"Indeed, because of her practice of death magic, Conina is the way she is now...... It's kind of scary. Hearing Cutland's words, Moric laughed, "But in the crowd of people who also practice death magic, she ...... It's already an absolute beauty. ”

The other three didn't know how to answer this kind of thing.

"And, I can tell, you don't hate Conina either, do you?" Morich saw that none of the three answered, so he could only continue to talk on his own.

"Hmm. Sun Chenghuan responded.

This sound stunned Cutland, who was originally smiling next to him.

Dumbfounded.

"Actually, Sun Chenghuan doesn't hate Conina. Lear saw Ketran's expression on the side and laughed, "I don't know when it started, and why." But I can feel that every time you say bad things about Conina, Sun Chenghuan is a little uncomfortable. ”

"......" Cutland's expression became more and more tangled.

"Why?" Moric smiled happily and looked at Sun Chenghuan.

She ...... How to say it. At the beginning, although the two of us were a little bit of a mutual use of each other. Sun Chenghuan thought about it very seriously, sighed, and finally said: "But then I slowly felt that something seemed to be different. ”

"Nothing different. "Cutland thinks he's stupid, and he's a little angry now.

"For example, yesterday...... And the day before yesterday, I went to see Moric at the Baron's Palace, wearing the two clothes she had prepared for me. Sun Chenghuan looked at his brother with a slightly embarrassed look.

"For the sake of her own face, she must make you dress better. ”

"She made it herself......

"......" Cutland's mouth opened and closed again.

A look of shock.

"So, you were moved?" Moric put away his smile and looked at Sun Chenghuan seriously.

Sun Chenghuan nodded.

"Stop moving?"

Sun Chenghuan nodded again.

"Yesterday I told Marlena that her sister really likes you, and she still doesn't believe it. Moric sighed and shook his head, "Sure enough, ......"

"Then ......" Li Yaer, who was next to him, looked at Sun Chenghuan, "What are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? To be honest, I don't really want to accept the offer you gave me to join the Nagland family. ”

"I remember very well how angry you were when Corina told you that the first time!" Cutland sighed beside him, "with a look of longing to tear her apart." ”

"yes, I'm ...... It'......s not a very bad-tempered person, but he's still a man! It's not like I can't do anything on my own. Sun Chenghuan nodded.

"At first, Ketlan and I really just teased you...... "Liarl laughed beside him, "Actually, we also know that with your abilities, you are not to say a baron...... In the future, he will be a viscount, and the count will not be a problem. But then you agreed......"

"Do you still look down on me? ”

"Cortland does, I don't. Lear immediately shook his head, "I think you're very bent and reachable." ”

"Hmm...... Do you know why?"

"Do you think she's pretty?" Certland spat out Sun Chenghuan angrily.

β€œ...... It's because of the look in her eyes. Sun Chenghuan smiled bitterly and said: "During that time, she came to me many times in a row, persuaded me to cooperate with her, help her inherit the Nagrand family business, and explained a lot of reasons, including that she will give me a good return in the future, and she will not care about my affairs." But one thing I noticed was that the way she looked at me was never the kind of aristocratic look at commoners. ”

"What kind of eyes do nobles look at commoners?" Moric asked after a pause, a little curious.

"It's the way you looked at us when you first came in. Sun Chenghuan laughed, "That kind of look, just because you are worthy of showing off in front of me?" ”

"And what does Conina think of you?"

"She avoided me. Sun Chenghuan sighed, "No matter how I look into her eyes, she doesn't look at me." Either looking at the sky or the ground, sometimes looking at her undead box that never leaves her hand, but not at my eyes. So I knew she was scared. But I shouldn't have anything to fear her, so, I know, she's afraid of herself. ”

Be quiet.

"Then you should treat Conina well. Moric sighed and looked at Sun Chenghuan deeply.

"I'll treat her well. Sun Chenghuan nodded.

"Even if you don't like her at all?"

"If there is no Malena, you marry the daughter of the Murong family, will you really like her?" Sun Chenghuan asked rhetorically.

There was no answer.

"But I'll treat her well, too. Moric nodded, "I can't tell you that you're only fourteen years old...... I actually see things like feelings so thoroughly......"

"That's because I think about it too much. Sun Chenghuan laughed, "I read a lot of books, such as the past of the Marquis of Tia in Astrana, and I learned a lot. ”

"Marquis Tia, the man who rebelled for his wife?" Cutland interjected.

"Don't say it...... Your current situation is really a bit similar to the situation of the Marquis of Tia. Moric was also stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "They are all from commoners, married the daughter of a small nobleman and then got some convenience, and worked hard to make a fortune on ......their own."

"Hmm. Sun Chenghuan nodded. "It doesn't matter if you like it or not, if you agree, it's a promise, but everything you promise is a responsibility. A real man should not be a person who can't stand any grievances, but a person who is obligated to take responsibility for himself. ”

"Well, there is responsibility. Moric nodded, "I can safely take you to Mills." ”

"Hmm. Sun Chenghuan also responded.

The meaning of Morich's words is obvious.

"Konna won't go with you. ”

"I know she's going to go to Seventh Academy. Sun Chenghuan nodded.

"You're going to leave her in the care of your two brothers, as you said at the dinner table yesterday?" said Morric.

"Hmm. To my two brothers, I was relieved, and to her...... I'm more at ease. Sun Chenghuan also smiled.

"I reminded you that among the Death Mages, she is very, very beautiful. When the time comes......"

"That's not what I'm relieved about. Sun Chenghuan tilted his head to look at Morich, "Did Your Excellency wear the clothes that Marlena made for you with her own hands?"

Morwich stuck shells.

"It's still a very good fit. Sun Chenghuan mended the knife again.

Be quiet.

"You're ......still young after all," Moric seemed to want to get back a little bit of ground, "you'll know in two years...... Especially if you've been to Mills and seen the outside world...... She'll meet more people as well. ”

"Is that bad for me?" Sun Chenghuan asked Morich again.

Moric was stuck again.

It took a while.

"You really feel like a Penglai person. Moric let out a long sigh. "If you don't want it, you are strong. ”

"Thank you for the compliment...... In the next few years, it may be indispensable to ask Your Excellency to take care of you......" Sun Chenghuan smiled, stood up in a proper manner, and bowed to Morich.

β€œ...... I don't know if I'll need your care in the future. Moric shook his head and said seriously to Sun Chenghuan, "I hope what you say is true?"

"Which one?"

"A real man is a man who is responsible. ”

This sentence is always valid. Sun Chenghuan nodded very seriously.
