Chapter 60: Father's Advice (I)
Not long after Jane and Paris left in the carriage, they arrived at Abner's house, which was also in the district of Virgil. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Black, fence-like iron gates with white walls entwined with budding vines...... Abner's home is basically the same as the villa where Ann and Kyle live, except that there are a dozen more servants and butlers who serve their masters.
And as soon as the carriage stopped at the door, a well-dressed young servant, who heard the sound, came to the door, and when he saw his young master get out of the carriage, he didn't even need to give orders, but opened the two heavy iron doors, and put on a deferential expression to welcome the young master's return.
When he saw two more beautiful girls in the same black clothes as his young master getting out of the carriage, his expression had already changed to dumbfounded.
"These two young ladies are my classmates. Briefly introduced to him the identities of the two, Abner, who was expressionless, went straight to the point: "Father, has he returned from the city hall?"
"The lord has returned. β
"Take us to him. β
"Uh...... Okay, young master. β
It seems that he didn't expect that his own young master, who was quite kind before, would become so eager and indifferent today. The servant was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement. At the same time, I couldn't help but secretly speculate: Could it be that something happened between my young master and one of these two young ladies, so the other party brought his sister to the door?
Jane and Paris didn't say much, just looked at the scenery with interest as they silently followed him.
Then, on the advice of the coachman who had brought them on the road, he was left outside the door to look after the carriage, and the three men followed the servant towards their 'destination'.
Walking through the courtyard, and meeting the different eyes of several servants he met on the way, Abner led the two maidens to the main building of the villa, a small three-story building.
"Young Master. β
The two servants standing at the door said in unisonβthey had seen it when Abner approached. Abner, of course, saw them too.
"Is Father in there?"
Abner asked with a slight bow.
"-Is Abner back?"
Without waiting for the two to answer, a middle-aged man's deep voice came from the hall inside, with a hint of joy in his uncertain voice.
"Yes, father, I'm back because there are some things that need to be discussed with you. β
Abner replied calmly.
"Then come in quickly. The voice inside said again.
"Hmm. Abner agreed, then looked at the porter who had brought them over, "Excuse me, now you can leave." β
"It is my honor to lead the way for the young master and the two beautiful young ladies. β
As he stepped back, the porter said with a flattering smile before turning away.
Pushing the door and opening, Abner did not look at his father, but stood aside, and whispered:
"Miss Jane, Paris, please come in. β
When Jane and Paris came in one after the other, he looked at his biological father in this world with somewhat complicated eyes, and His Excellency Viscount Richard Felix, who was as dark-haired and black-eyed as him, of medium stature, and ordinary-looking, but who had already faintly acquired a hint of bureaucracy and aristocratic temperament, introduced him:
"Father, these two young ladies are my classmates, Her Royal Highness Jane, daughter of the Duke of Valoranburg, and Miss Paris Gelgula, daughter of Viscount Golgula, and I am about them. β
"Hmm...... Hmm, Your Highness Princess?" asked His Excellency the Viscount, who was sitting upright, from the sofa where he was sitting, leaning forward, his arms in a very strange posture in front of him, his eyes wide open, and the whole person was like a statue, and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, it is a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency the Viscount. Looking at the strange-looking viscount, Jane bowed slightly, did not show any rudeness, and said with an elegant smile.
"I'm glad to see you, Viscount, too. Paris said nervously, her somewhat stiff body not making any movements.
However, His Excellency the Viscount was in a state of confusion and did not notice this, and after hearing the words of the two, he hurriedly said: "Oh, oh! Your Royal Highness the Princess, please sit here! and this young lady, please sit down too!"
He couldn't help but be nervous - although he was a small viscount, and he often saw the Duke of the Kingdom, it was the first time to receive the princess of the Kingdom who had no possibility of coming in his own home!
"No, let's just sit here. Jane shook her head slightly, "Your Excellency, please continue to sit there." β
"No, no, please also ask Her Royal Highness the princess to sit on the throne. I'll let you, no, I'll bring you a drink myself, I don't know if you like black tea, coffee, or whatever?"
"No, Your Excellency the Viscount doesn't need it at all. Jane waved her hand and stopped, "Just let the servants do these things." We have more important things to discuss with you. β
"No, otherwise, it does not reflect my respect for Your Highness the Duke and Princess. Abner, you are here to talk to this young lady with Your Highness, and I will come at once - Your Highness Princess, please wait a moment......"
β....... I'll make you laugh, Miss Jane, and Paris. Father, he was just too excited...... "Speechlessly, watching the cheap dad disappear at the door like a gust of wind, Abner held his forehead and smiled bitterly.
"Well, that's understandable. Jane raised her eyebrows, stifling her smile through this muscular activity of her face.
Paris didn't speak, but her expression said the same.
"But sit down, Abner, and don't stand any more. β
β...... Okay, Miss Jane. β
After thinking about it, Abner agreed to Jane's proposal - after all, he would have to explain the duel to Daddy Cheap later, and if he sat down, he could indirectly show him his relationship with Jane, so as not to worry too much.
ββββAfter waitingββββ
β...... The thing, is that how it is?"
After explaining the causes, events, and consequences of the duel and the contract, and making sure that Abner's father had little doubt about it (in fact, he was stunned), Jane and Paris left.
Abner, on the other hand, sat quietly in the hall with him, not caring for each other but still silent.
It wasn't until his father said this sentence that he didn't know if he was talking to himself, or if he was asking him what he said.
"Yes. β
After a moment's pause, Abner replied.
Hearing his answer, the man, whom he called Cheap Daddy in his heart, raised his head and looked at him with those black eyes that were not very bright, but contained complex and indescribable eye waves.
"Father's ......"
Silenced by him like this, Abner unconsciously moved his eyes a little weakly and asked.
"You, you want to sign this contract and participate in a duel, right?"
With a hint of smile and helplessness in his kind eyes, looking at this son, who has always been more mature than his peers, Richard Felix said slowly.
"Yes. β
After thinking for a moment, Abner replied without the slightest hesitation. After all, this is something he has already decided.
"Hehe, that's true. β
Stretching out his hand to pour himself a cup of black tea, His Excellency the Viscount of the Kingdom said meaninglessly, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter, and his voice seemed a little vicissitudes.
"This is what you wanted, right?"
