Chapter 011: The fate of the "past" of relatives
When he opened his eyes, Kaplan felt a little numb in his left arm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Turning his head, he saw that it was Karina sleeping on his left arm.
Although Karina was her own woman in name or substance, the day was too long due to the excessive number of deaths of Kaplan yesterday, and Kaplan was not in any interest under mental exhaustion, and collapsed on the bed after dinner.
He could not have let Karina sleep in another room, and he snatched it back because he coveted the other's beauty, and ended up sleeping in separate rooms on the first night?
However, Kaplan remembers sleeping under different quilts when he slept, and he didn't know when Karina got into his arms.
Seeing that Karina was sleeping soundly, Kaplan didn't wake her up, but couldn't help but touch her silky blonde hair. Karina didn't wake up, her body moved, and she changed into a comfortable position and continued to shrink into Kaplan's arms.
Turning his head to look out the window, Kaplan saw that the sky had just brightened, and it was probably just before six o'clock.
It's a normal time for a nobleman to sleep in, and Kaplan, who has crossed over from Earth, doesn't have the desire to wake up early in a place where there isn't much entertainment.
It's a pity that after ten years of fugitive life, he has developed the habit of getting up early. ββIf you still want to sleep lazily during the flight, you simply don't know whether to live or die.
Looking back on his experience after reading the last file yesterday, Kaplan felt that there was no big mistake in what he did: he rescued the Holy Maiden, as long as he protected Kailina from accidents, the Cult of Light would not come to the door, and he killed Stonier to clear the time bomb within the Deduwa family. Although it was a bit impulsive to kill Stonier, Kaplan didn't want to give him any chance to turn the tables!
The only regret is that I accidentally had a leg with the saint, but unfortunately there is no way to correct it due to the relationship of careless archiving.
Now that the biggest threat to the Deduwa family has been removed, as long as Karina is hidden, the Cult of Light will not interfere in secular battles after all, and it will not directly kill them.
However, judging from the information that Kaplan inquired about back then, at this time, most of the powerful nobles of the Lanya Kingdom had actually united against the Deduwa family. They plan to fight together against the expansion of the Deduwa family, but they have no intention of doing it directly. It's just that there happened to be an incident of "blasphemy against the Holy Maiden", and when they encountered such a rare opportunity, those nobles naturally wanted to follow the Illuminati Sect and fall into the ground.
Now that the matter of the Holy Maiden has been settled for the time being, the situation of the Deduwa family is not so bad. As long as Kaplan's father came back half a month later, with his prestige in the army, those nobles would not dare to do it directly.
Before Gleason, the head of the family, returned, Kaplan realized that he could not do anything: he was just a gentleman who only wanted to eat, drink and have fun, and he was not involved in anything in the affairs of the family.
The strength of the Deduwa family is very strong, but Kaplan can't command at all, so it doesn't make a difference whether the strength is strong or not.
It seems that some things are still waiting for my father to come back, and I just enjoy the life of the nobility these days?
In other words, when I first crossed over, I was full of novelty and vigilance, and I was careful to enjoy it every day. What followed was a ten-year fugitive life, and there were no conditions for enjoyment.
Or give yourself a vacation for half a month. Then there is another question, what is the most desired enjoyment of a modern person after becoming a noble young master?
Thinking so, Kaplan couldn't help but hug Karina tighter and tighter. Karina frowned and rubbed in Kaplan's arms, their bodies pressed tighter.
Just as Kaplan was about to transform into a wolf, there was a knock on the door.
Lilia's voice came in, "Master Kaplan, are you awake?"
Kaplan regretfully withdrew his right hand that had just been placed on Karina's delicate body and asked, "Is there something wrong with you calling me so early?"
"Master Zack just sent someone to invite the young master to the council chamber. β
Kaplan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did you say what was the matter?"
"The man who came to invite the young master didn't say anything. β
When Kaplan's father left, his second uncle, Zach, was the one who temporarily took care of the family's affairs.
Could it be that the second uncle found out that he killed Stonier? As soon as this thought turned in Kaplan's mind, he reacted that he was thinking too much: Second Uncle Zach is not the kind of patient person, if he really knew that he killed Stonier, he would not have sent someone to invite him, I am afraid that he would personally bring the guards to arrest him.
"Tell the man, and I'll get up. "Since I don't know what it is, I just go and take a look. Kaplan grabbed the pendant of the necklace and took the initiative to store it. - Although he was sure to kill Stonier again, he really didn't want to see the disgusting face of the other party.
Karina was finally woken up. She rubbed her eyes, and was not surprised to find that she was lying in Kaplan's arms, but her cheeks became rosy, and she sat up and asked, "Young Master, is something wrong?"
In order to prevent mistakes, Kaplan asked Karina to call herself "Young Master", and Karina was very cooperative.
Kaplan couldn't help pinching her nose and said, "You continue to sleep well, I'll go and see." Whatever happens, I can fix it. β
Judging that Kaplan was telling the truth, Karina didn't know where Kaplan got so much confidence, but she immediately felt a lot more relieved, yawned and said, "Young master, then you should come back early." β
She didn't notice at all that most of her loose pajamas had slipped off, revealing a large patch of fair skin. Although Karina didn't have the intention of seducing, looking at her languid posture, Kaplan almost planned to sleep a little longer.
If it weren't for Lilia walking in with her clothes in her hand.
Tucking Karina back into the bed, Kaplan got dressed and instructed, "This is Karina, who will be in charge of the tidiness of my bedroom in the future." When she wakes up, help her go to the kitchen and get some breakfast. β
Although it is impossible for people to have seen the saint, it is inevitable that they will have heard the name of the saint, so they naturally want to change the name of Karina.
"Got it, young master. Lilia, who was dressing Kaplan, answered.
Although she was a little surprised at how much Kaplan doted on Karina, she didn't look at Karina as if there was no one else in the bed. This is the quality of a maid in a noble family.
The Deduwa family's council chamber is located in the main building of the lodge. The main building of Kaplan's house is not far away, only a few minutes away.
When he arrived at the council chamber, he found that there were already quite a few people there: the second uncle, Zach Deduwa, the second brother, the second brother, Liddell Deduwa, the fifth brother, Stephen Deduwa, and the second uncle's eldest son, Clatt Deduwa.
With the exception of the younger twin brothers, Betty and Behring, all of Kaplan's relatives in the lodge came.
It's been a long time. Kaplan sighed in his heart that he was the only survivor of the Deduwa family ten years later before he was reborn. That is, none of these loved ones ended well. - He didn't feel that Stonier was his relative.
The second Goskoll was the first member of the Deduwa family to be arrested because he was studying in Maple Leaf City. Although he was not killed at the time, he was eventually poisoned and committed suicide because he never refused to testify to the "facts" of the Deduwa family's rebellion.
The third brother Liddell and the fifth brother Stephen were killed together in battle when the lodge was raided.
The sixth brother, Belin, was killed by Crook when he betrayed him.
The eldest sister, who was already married, committed suicide by jumping off the building after learning that her husband's family was also involved in the action against the Deduwa family.
The younger sister Betty was separated on the way to escape and her whereabouts are unknown. Rumor has it that she was killed, and that she was sold to other countries and became the plaything of the nobility.
The second uncle, Zach, is the one that Kaplan looks down on very much. Although he did not betray, after the villa was breached, he still had delusions in his heart, and gave up the opportunity to escape and surrendered to the enemy. Unfortunately, in the end, he still failed to save his life and was beheaded on the charge of treason.
His son, Klat, did not surrender and fled with Kaplan for many years. It was only later that he was betrayed by traitors in the process of fleeing, and finally died at the hands of the Cult of the Illuminati.
As for the people of the side branches of the Deduwa family, it didn't end well, and as far as Kaplan knew, none of them survived.
Kaplan sat down next to his second brother, yawned and asked casually, "Second uncle, is there anything you called us here?"
Zach showed a hint of dissatisfaction on his face and replied, "The people haven't arrived yet, wait for Crook to come and talk about it." β
"You just said it was a family meeting, right? What do you mean by being an outsider like Crook?" spoke out against Kaplan's fifth brother, Stephen.
He is a year younger than Kaplan, sixteen years old. For his age, it's still remarkable to be a junior knight.
It's just that his father, Gleason, and most parents like to compare their own children to other children. And Crook, who is also a knight profession and is already an intermediate knight, is the "child of someone else's family". As a result, Stephen kept looking at Crook unpleasantly.
"He's your sister's fiancΓ© and is also eligible for the family meeting. Zach said with a frown.
Stephen didn't object again, but still muttered, "It's not like my sister hasn't married him." If you want me to say, he doesn't deserve Betty at all. β
Stephen is reckless and looks down on Kaplan for being powerless, and Kaplan's relationship with him is naturally not very good. However, this time he very much agreed with Stephen's words: how can Crook, a traitor, be worthy of his own sister?
Of course, there is no need to rush this family matter: Betty is only thirteen years old this year, and the children of nobles on the Holy Light Continent usually get married after the age of sixteen.
Kaplan won't let Crook live to be three years from now.
