Chapter Twenty-Eight: Those who pit people will always pit them
In Heyman's more or less sympathetic eyes, Abner's heart lingered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
What is this teacher going to do with him?
Abner, who was worried in his heart, couldn't help but think about it - he had already confessed to it, and it stands to reason that he would have nothing to do with himself, but this teacher with facial paralysis still kept himself, what was the matter? Could it be that in his opinion, his attitude was not correct enough, and he needed to strengthen his education?
"I feel compelled to tell you something, Abner. ”
When everyone else had walked some distance, he motioned for him to sit down, and then, without warning, Benjamin spoke to him suddenly.
“?!”
The fear of Abnaden was agitated, and the uneasiness in his heart was even more serious - the teacher had absolutely no connection with himself, with his parents, and he 'felt' to tell himself something, and it probably had a lot to do with him...... Could it be that I unknowingly offended a gentleman with a deep background?
"Don't worry too much, it's not a ...... Bad. Benjamin, who took in Abner's expression with a hint of fear and panic, had no malice, and was a responsible and qualified teacher, comforted him, but at the end of his speech, he hesitated a little about his judgment, so he added at the end:
"Probably. ”
“...... Teacher, what exactly are you talking about?"
Taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Abner forced himself to look into the teacher's eyes and asked in the calmest tone he could so far.
"Well, sorry, I haven't told you about it yet. Benjamin made a seemingly insincere apology—and Abner didn't care, of course, "Before you came, the butler of the Duke of Valorenburg's house came to me and copied a copy of your homework and reading notes to take with you. ”
“......”
Abner was really sluggish this time.
The butler of the Duke took away his reading notes and homework, and it was absolutely impossible for him to say that something that was only a little better than a schoolboy's essay would attract a high-ranking prince of the kingdom, and Abner himself did not believe it.
And the real reason is undoubtedly obvious - His Royal Highness Jane Dwight.
Should it be said that the Duke cares for his daughter in every detail, everywhere?
――Father's love is like a mountain——
"That'...... Does the teacher think I need to keep my distance from His Highness Jane?"
After thinking about it, he tentatively asked the teacher - the other party told him the news, and he must have his own plans and ideas. And now is not the time to be reserved and pretended with garlic.
"What do you think?" said Benjamin, who asked rhetorically.
“?”
"Abner. Brown pupils stared straight at him, "Judging by your reading notes and your performance this afternoon, you should be a far smarter kid than your peers." So, I think you should have your own opinion on this matter. By the way, it was not the Duke himself who sent the butler, but Her Highness Jane's sister, Her Excellency Catelyn Dwight. ”
“?!”
"By the way, you shouldn't know about her. Benjamin's tone, who had clearly misunderstood the reason for Abner's shock, remained unchanged, "However, you just need to know that she is a great figure whose influence is no less than that of the Duke, and in some ways even surpasses." ”
“?!!”
At this time, Abner had a stunned expression on his face at this teacher's words, as if he was saying, 'Teacher, are you kidding me?', and there was a wave of turmoil in his heart—the message Paris told herself did not say that the genius Lord Catelyn was such a powerful person!
Benjamin was not a hesitant man, and when he saw Abner's expression, he knew that he needed to come up with something to win his trust - and since the other party had already taken Abner's information, he could know the identity of the leader according to the usual way of the Catlyn's gang, whether he could eventually enter the eyes of the other party or not. Therefore, if he revealed her identity to Abner, it would not be a big deal.
Thinking like this, he said succinctly:
"Her Excellency Catlyn is one of the ten marquis of the Duchy of Thun who has the right to become an archduke, and several other marquis have followed her as their leader. In addition, she was recognized by the kingdom's artifact 'Wrath of Justice' longsword. ”
“......”
Abner was really dumbfounded.
The Principality of Thun, he knew, was a small country located in the west, separated from the kingdom by several countries. Five years ago, there was a rebellion in the duchy that lasted for most of the year, or HX, in which the former Grand Duke and his family were overthrown by a group of 'mobs'. The 'mob' then elected a woman as the new Grand Duke, and she submitted to the kingdom of Noxon - and His Majesty had one more vassal.
But now, the teacher told him that a royal genius was the 'Elector' of that principality, and that several other 'Electors' were also looking to her......
-- Abner couldn't help but fall into deep thought--
And this genius is the owner of the kingdom's Zhenguo artifact, the 'Wrath of the Righteous' longsword...... How to say, if nothing else, after she becomes a saint-level powerhouse, even if she wants to depose the king by herself, cough cough, it is not impossible to succeed - of course, if she really does this, in Abner's opinion, there are only two reasons, one: she is a young woman of literature and art, and two: she is a young woman of 213. Other than that, nothing else.
-- Literary Youth and 213 Youth Mixed Ginseng -
"Being targeted by such an adult, I really don't know if it's my luck or misfortune ......"
His heart was depressed for a while, and Abner, who seemed to have been crushed by a big stone, muttered in a low voice.
Even if he thought he had the traverser plug-in in his hands, Abner was not sure that he would be able to enter the eyes of the talented Jane's sister, and maybe even be seen by the other party because of some flaws......
"If you want to be like her, it's going to be a blessing for you. The teacher sitting across from him looked at him and said, then thought for a moment and said, "However, it will cause some trouble in the short term." ”
"Haunted?"
"Now that you've caught the attention of Lord Catelyn because of Jane, your every move for the next few days will come into their sight. All your experiences since birth will be investigated by them, your privacy will no longer be private, your secrets will be found by them, and they will even set you up some tests to test your character, ability, and wisdom...... The temptation doesn't end until they feel that you can live up to their requirements, or not enough to meet theirs. Ultimately, depending on the outcome, determine if you can befriend Jane and them. ”
Abner's face stiffened suddenly—his greatest secret and privacy, if discovered, would not be treated as a guest.
"But don't worry too much, Abner - Lord Katrin's investigation won't affect your day-to-day life, you just need to show your normal side. ”
Seeing that he seemed to have something bad in mind, Benjamin Gilbert explained as an afterthought.
"Hmm. That one...... Teacher, Lord Catlyn they, huh?them?!"
"Lord Catherine also has her friends - such as Lord Catherine Casdia, and Duke Ilia. The teacher's face remained unchanged and explained: "They also have a decisive influence in the kingdom. ”
“......”
A man doesn't mention it, but uses 'they', is it really appropriate?
But Abner didn't go any further—looking at the teacher's appearance, he obviously didn't want to say more, and he naturally didn't want to be bored.
However, he was so interrupted by himself, and there was no way to ask the question he wanted to ask just now.
So, he had to ask another question.
"So, teacher, why did you tell me the news?"
