"Young master, the food has been delivered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Lilia's voice rang outside.

Kaplan put his index finger in front of his mouth and shushed it. Karina, who was buried in the quilt, quickly closed her mouth and nodded in understanding.

Walking to the door, Kaplan opened the door and blocked Lilia's vision with his body, saying, "I've got the stuff in my hands." Also, tell the rest of the people that no one can enter my bedroom without my command. ”

"Got it, young master. Lilia answered, hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Young Master, can you eat so many things?"

It stands to reason that she shouldn't be questioned as a maid, but she is really worried: after returning from the engagement ceremony in Maple Leaf City, Young Master Kaplan ate lunch for three or four people by himself! Unexpectedly, it was only more than three hours later, and before it was time for dinner, he asked the kitchen to prepare another meal!

Could it be that the engagement ceremony in the morning was too simple, and Young Master Kaplan felt that he had lost face and was angry, so he overate to vent?

Speaking of which, even Lilia felt that the people of the royal family were really a little too much this time! It was just that the princess who was married was an illegitimate daughter who was not favored by the king, after all, Young Master Kaplan was also the illegitimate son of the Marquis. Everyone's situation is similar.

But as soon as the morning ceremony was completed, the noon and evening banquets were canceled on the grounds that the princess was unwell? Wasn't this deliberately humiliating? No wonder Young Master Kaplan hid in the house after returning from Maple Leaf City and didn't come out.

If the old man had come back earlier, the people of the royal family would definitely not have dared to do this!

It's okay that Young Master Kaplan is angry, but she is really worried that the young master she takes care of will be overwhelmed, and if she is really in that case, she will definitely be punished.

"Don't worry, I'm in control. Kaplan couldn't explain, so he just dragged the food cart in and closed the door.

Kaplan's expression and tone were calm, but Lilia was even more worried. After a while, she left quickly, intending to report to the old butler.

This time, the food was not for Kaplan himself, but for Karina. The former saint Karina naturally did not eat lunch after being captured in the morning, and in the afternoon she and Kaplan had been exercising vigorously for a long time, and now they were already hungry.

Seeing that Kaplan had brought the food, she quickly sat up from the bed, reached out and tore a chicken leg and chewed it.

Karina didn't have the image of a saint at this time, only cared about the food in front of her, and didn't even notice that the sheets on her body were slowly slipping down.

Kaplan reached out to help her pull the flyer, and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." You look like a refugee, haven't you eaten before?"

"I've never eaten anything so delicious!" Karina replied vaguely, "I'm very strict in the Cult of Light! They say I can't indulge in enjoyment, and only let me eat light food! I can only eat delicious food when I'm outside, but they still keep me from eating too much!"

If she goes out of her sainthood and God-given abilities, Karina is just an innocent and lovely girl.

Kaplan rubbed Karina's head with his hand and commanded, "I have some important things to take care of, so you can rest in your room." ”

Although he wanted to spend more time with Karina and stabilize her completely. But he's already wasted a lot of time, and his eldest brother Stoniel is about to return from the city guards, and he needs to hurry up.

Karina finally stopped eating and looked up at Kaplan with a look of reluctance. However, she knew that Kaplan did have something important, and she was not perfunctory, but she was not willful, but she just asked, "When are you coming back?"

Kaplan replied, "I'll be back soon." Eat well and sleep well, and you'll see me when you open your eyes. ”

When a well-dressed Kaplan came out of the room, he found two men standing in the doorway. In addition to Lilia, there was also an old man who was in good spirits.

This old man is Frank, the great butler of the Deduwa family, and although he is over seventy years old this year, he is still very energetic. Apparently he had been called by Lilia, who had cowered aside to dodge.

Kaplan wasn't surprised: he had realized that he had asked for too much food, and Lilia was probably worried that he would be spoiled. It would be strange if Lilia didn't report it when she found out she had an anomaly.

However, he has no worries about being seen as wrong: he has adjusted his mentality, as long as he notices that it is not easy to play the role of his former self, even if it is because many years have passed, and it does not matter if something has gone wrong: the original Kaplan himself is not a conformist.

He spoke very naturally, "Old Frank, did you come here for me?"

Hearing the natural tone, Old Frank's tense expression was obviously relaxed, and he replied, "Young Master, Lilia said that you were a little uncomfortable just now, so I came over to take a look." ”

Kaplan laughed, "I just ate more, I didn't expect her to call you in with a fuss." I'm fine now, what can I do?"

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Kaplan's behavior, old Frank was immediately relieved. However, he still comforted: "Young Master, the engagement ceremony in the morning is not only a humiliation to you, Young Master, but also a humiliation to the Deduwa family! When the master comes back in a few days, he will definitely administer justice for you!"

Old Frank, who was usually mild-mannered, showed a hint of anger on his face at this time. He has served the head of the Deduwa family for three generations, and completely regards the Deduwa family as his own family, and he will never see the Deduwa family humiliated. Not even the royal family of the Lanya Kingdom!

Kaplan smiled and said, "It's not a big deal in the morning. I don't like that yellow-haired girl very much, it's just a political marriage. ”

Although he didn't care about what he said, only Kaplan himself knew: the yellow-haired girl who was only twelve years old now would become a peerless beauty in the future, and she would have a lot of entanglements with herself "in the future".

Old Frank said: "This marriage was originally proposed by the royal family in order to strengthen the connection with the Deduwa family. I don't know what they thought to make such an irrational move today! If they don't give a satisfactory explanation, it's a big deal for the master to return the marriage contract. ”

I'm afraid that the people of the royal family don't plan to explain anything at all: judging from Kaplan's experience before his rebirth, even if the royal family didn't expect the Church of Light and the Deduwa family to fall out, at least they knew in advance that a large number of nobles from the Lanya Kingdom wanted to unite to deal with the Deduwa family.

The royal family, or His Majesty the King, deliberately ruined the engagement ceremony to express a meaning to the nobles: I don't like the Deduwa family either, you can do whatever you want!

It's a pity that Kaplan knows the dangerous situation of the Deduwa family, but he can't say it. Because he simply can't explain the source of the message.

Again, Kaplan couldn't show the same anomaly as he did in "Usual", and pretended to be impatient and said, "Okay, I got it." By the way, I'm looking for you, so it's better if you come here: you open the door to the vault for me, and I'll go get something. ”

Old Frank frowned when he heard this, and suddenly turned to Lilia and said, "Lilia, I remember that the flower beds outside have not been pruned for a long time, you go and talk to the gardener, and come and clean up when you have time." ”

When Lilia left very consciously, old Frank whispered, "Please don't talk about the secret vault casually, young master." Moreover, the items in the secret vault are the accumulation of the Deduwa family over the years, and the young master had better try not to use them easily. ”

If you don't use it now, when the family dies, no amount of accumulation will be cheaper? Kaplan sighed in his heart. With an indifferent expression on his face, he said nonchalantly: "Father said before leaving, and when he comes back this time, he will hand over the secret vault to me, so does it matter if I take a few things from the secret vault in advance?"

Even before he was reborn, Kaplan had already noticed something special about his father's arrangement!

The secret vault has always been controlled by the patriarch of the Deduwa family, and the fact that the secret vault is in the hands of the Deduwa basically regards him as the heir of the patriarch!

Probably it was this arrangement that made Stonier, who had always regarded the position of the next patriarch as his bag, full of hatred for himself and his father, right?

"Please come with me, young master. Old Frank thought about it for a moment, and finally compromised. Although he didn't agree with it, it was true that the patriarch had made Kaplan his heir, and it was not a big deal that Kaplan wanted to use the items in the vault now. --Qian Chen was not surprised by Old Frank's compromise, and Old Frank had already compromised when he was reborn last time.

As he walked out of the house, Old Frank didn't notice that Kaplan, who was following him, was secretly watching him.

Of course, this is not because old Frank is so old, but Kaplan still can't see any traces of a master on old Frank!

Although he doesn't know what kind of warrior Old Frank is, Kaplan can be sure that Old Frank is indeed very strong: on the day the family was besieged, Old Frank, who looked weak, withstood the siege of three high-ranking swordsmen empty-handed!

Although Kaplan did not see it with his own eyes, he later heard that the elder Frank finally died of exhaustion under the siege of the army.

On the Holy Light Continent, the swordsman profession can be divided into from low to high: apprentice swordsman, junior swordsman, intermediate swordsman, senior swordsman, great swordsman, and sword master.

In the Karan Kingdom, where there is no Sword Master, a high-level swordsman can be regarded as a rare master!--Kaplan's father, Gleason, is the only great swordsman in the Lanya Kingdom!

Kaplan sincerely hopes that after he is reborn, old Frank will not have any chance to do anything. Otherwise, it means that the Deduwa family is once again in a critical moment.
