Chapter 32: Bloodline I
Everyone present was in a state of stupor, and things did go a little more than they expected. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The lords had thought it was someone else's plot against the Morte family, but now it didn't look like it.
After all, a baby and an ice bear are used to carry out the conspiracy, unless the guy who made the plan is crazy.
You know, there are too many accidents in this, except for Lord Io, who is in charge of fate, I'm afraid no one can be sure how many possibilities and changes will be bred in such a thing.
Maybe the child was killed for dinner by the hungry ice bear before he arrived at the manor.
Wait, a baby and an ice bear?
Some wise aristocrats have already reacted, and it seems that the scene of the moment is very similar to the scene of legend:
The Ancestor (referring to the Icefield Bear) placed the patriarch on his chest, providing him with his soft fur. The relatives of that man (referring to the Knight of Iga) quarreled in the mansion and wanted to divide the rights and territory that the patriarch was entitled to.
Believing themselves to be the only legitimate successors, they began to claim to themselves as counts in their words, but soon they realized that their actions were ridiculous, like circus clowns.
The ancestor walked slowly into the mansion and handed the four-month-old child into the hands of the "mother" (northern dialect, meaning mother).
......
The adult is the eldest sister of that person, and the only "relative" who identifies with the identity of the patriarch.
She passed the title of earl to the patriarch and temporarily took over as the lord of the Morte Lordship as an old lady. After raising the patriarch to adulthood, he completely handed over the rich territory to him.
The ancestors guarded the growth of the patriarch and taught the patriarch to learn to be strong, and the adults nurtured the patriarch and taught the patriarch to be benevolent and kind.
Therefore, the patriarch marked that person out of the family tree, and honored the ancestors as fathers and adults as mothers.
......
There were more and more nobles who had this idea, and they didn't say anything, but just made eye contact with each other, intending to wait and see what happened.
Whether it is the manifestation of the ancestors of the Morte family or the gimmick released by the Morte family, it is not their turn to intervene, and meddling will only invite war to their own territory.
What others can think of, the people of the Moult family certainly can't think of.
They all grew up listening to this legend, and now, the story of the legend really happened in front of them, which made them feel a little trance.
Of course, none of these people included Lady Elu, who had probably lost the ability to think at this time, and she held the child in her arms tightly as if someone else would snatch him out of her arms.
This is not because she remembered the legend of her ancestors, in fact, as the daughter of the Deflo family, although she knew the legend of the Morte family, she was not really convinced, but she just remembered it as a legendary story, and naturally did not associate those things with it at the first time.
Such an action may just be the knee-jerk reaction of a poor mother, who needs a child to hold her grief and deceive herself that she has not lost her right to be a mother.
However, the retainers of the Moult family reacted immediately, especially the loyal old butler, who pursed his lips and hobbled towards Madame Ellu, not weak, but excited.
He tried his best to suppress his excitement, afraid that making a louder noise would shatter the illusionary scene.
"Your Excellency. β
The old butler's gentle call brought Lady Eluk, who was immersed in the joy of motherhood, back to her senses.
She glanced at the crowd around her and lifted the little family fire up to make him sleep more comfortably.
At this time, she had already made up her mind to adopt this child, which of course had nothing to do with the next heir to the territory, but her own selfishness of wanting to be a mother was at work.
"In order not to affect the stability of the territory, let him give me the surname Defro. β
Lady Eru thought happily that the heirs of her daughters who married off certainly did not have the right to inherit their own land, so she was not afraid that the Deflor family would not agree.
Of course, they can't disagree. It is a parent's right to give his or her surname to his child, as long as the child does not claim to be a member of the Deflo family in the future.
"Today is the day I take over the territory, the ancestors sent the ice bear to send this child, I think it is to let him have a warm family, so I plan to adopt this child. β
Speaking of this, Lady Eru paused before continuing, "However, in order to ensure that the identity of the next heir to the realm is not questioned by careerists, I have decided to let this child have my surname ......."
"Roarβ"
Lady Eru was about to say that she should let the child take her last name, but she was interrupted by an angry roar from the ice bear.
It stared at Lady Eru with a stern gaze, gasping for air in its nostrils, as if it were going to slap the great bear paw on her head in the next second.
Strangely, however, the angry ice bear did not arouse Lady Ellu's vigilance, but only a slight fear in her heart, not the fear of seeing a predator, but the fear of meeting a stern father.
"My lord, the Clan Codex!"
The old butler reminded him with a smile in the back.
Although he still had some doubts about the identity of this child, he was still willing to admit it in his heart. But he didn't expect that his own earl couldn't even recall the legends in the "Family Codex", and whimsically wanted to change the surname of this little guy.
Lord Io, if this child is really the Earl of Bronck's affair, then after changing his surname, I am afraid that the Moult family will become the laughing stock of the entire aristocratic circle.
"The Classics?"
Madame Eru looked at the old butler strangely, and wondered why he had brought it up, but she remembered it carefully, and then her whole face turned pale.
"This ......"
She ripped off the cloak behind her and wrapped the naked young master.
In fact, Mrs. Elu was a little embarrassed in her heart, because she was still a mother, and she actually forgot to wrap her child in the first place to keep warm.
Fortunately, although the manor looks open-air, there are patterns carved under each stone slab, which envelops the entire manor in a huge thermostatic circle.
Not only is the temperature inside as warm as early summer, but the weather changes outside are not reflected above the manor.
Moreover, there were scattered dark red marks on the child's bare body, which were formed by the blood on the tip of the tongue of the Ice Giant Bear.
The mother ice bear will bite the tip of the Xiaoice bear when it is born, and then lick the Xiaoice bear's whole body with her bleeding tongue, which is a magic-like talent ritual that the bear and other creatures that have experienced this ritual have bodies that are not afraid of the cold.
By "Frost Resistance", we are referring to resistance to natural temperature changes, not to spell resistance such as "Frost Resistance". After all, it was only the blood of the Ice Bear, not the Frost Dragon.
Lifting the tightly wrapped little one, Lady Eru looked carefully at his wrinkled little face, and a sense of history-making absurdity arose in her heart.
