Chapter 7: The Return of the Duke
In the next three days, Aaron put all his energy into studying, learning a total of 2,000 words, plus the previous 300 words, although some of the more esoteric texts could not be understood, at least normal communication was enough.
Atos also felt that this vocabulary was appropriate, because Razor was at this level at most.
In one day, Archduke Mitulin was about to return, and Aaron was making his final preparations. After imitating one of Razor's articles, Aaron also has a certain understanding of Razor's handwriting, and the written text has also taken on the appearance of eight to nine points.
Imitating handwriting is something Aaron often did in the other world. This skill often yields unexpected results when test scores are not satisfactory. His ability spread among his classmates, and he was often asked to imitate his parents' handwriting, and over time he practiced this skill.
Aaron compared this article again and again, and felt that if he didn't take a magnifying glass and compare it carefully, he shouldn't have found any flaws, so he lay down on the bed and rested.
The strong sunlight shone on the ground, and the water vapor on the road slowly rose upward. The water splashed on the ground made a sizzling sound, as if it had fallen on a piece of iron that had been burned red by fire, and with a puff of white smoke, it quickly disappeared.
The sides of the road were crowded with people, and everyone's clothes were soaked with sweat. Some people put handkerchiefs on their foreheads to shield them from the direct sunlight, and some people could not bear the blazing sun and hid in the shade, but no one hid in the house anyway.
At the front of the crowd stood a line of knights. They stand like stone statues at the edge of the road, stretching from the castle of Mitulin to the gates of Tanya.
This is an empty alley.
Originally, according to the rules, Aaron needed to go out of the city to meet Duke Miturin. But because the injuries on his body have not healed yet, he can only greet his cheap father outside the mansion.
Eddie stood close to Aaron, saw sweat on Aaron's forehead, thought that Aaron was a little unable to support it, so he whispered: "Don't worry, hold on for a while, Lord Duke will come over soon." ”
Aaron forced a smile. Aaron had been standing here since eight o'clock in the morning, and it had been nearly four hours, and his body, which had not recovered, had begun to be a little overdrawn. Of course, these are objectively existing difficulties, and many people have the problem of physical exhaustion. But the imminent meeting with Miturin made Aaron a little more nervous.
Perhaps borrowing Eddie's auspicious words, about another twenty minutes later, a scream suddenly came from the corner ahead, and a large number of flowers flew in the air, and after falling to the ground, they formed a colorful carpet. A moment later, a team slowly appeared in Aaron's field of vision.
Aaron cleared his throat and touched the bow tie around his neck with his hand. Two eyes were fixed on the group slowly approaching him.
A cavalryman at the front held a red banner high, and the golden eagle on the banner fluttered with the banner waving in the wind. Behind the cavalry were six knights, followed by a middle-aged man in a red cloak. The appearance is seven points similar to Lei Ze, perhaps because of the baptism of time, and the handsome face is less frivolous and more resolute.
This is the lord of Tanya, Razor's father, the one he has to face today.
While Aaron was thinking, the team leaned over and slowly stopped in front of Aaron.
Aaron kept his head down until Miturin, accompanied by a middle-aged man about forty years old, came to him.
"I heard you're hurt, how is it, does it matter?" Miturin's voice was very soft, like a gust of fresh wind blowing on his body. Aaron raised his head suddenly, looked at the strange man, and was just about to speak, when suddenly Atos said in every way: "The relationship between Razor and Lord Duke is not good, because Lord Duke killed Razor's mother, Lady Winnie. ”
In this way, the words that had already reached his mouth were swallowed hard by Aaron, and he just let out a soft "um", and his eyes stared straight at Miturin.
Miturin seemed to have known the answer, and did not show dissatisfaction with Aaron's answer, and continued: "You must take care of yourself, and don't make your mother sad." ”
"Don't mention her again, you don't deserve it. This sentence came out of Aaron's mouth without warning, and not only Miturin's face was shocked, but also the faces of the people around him showed shock. Eddie kept making eye contact with Aaron, signaling that such words should not come out of his mouth.
Athos looked at Aaron anxiously, how could he say this at this time?
In fact, even Aaron himself was stunned and didn't know why he said this.
Miturin's face stiffened for a few seconds, the expression on his face changed several times, and finally he sighed: "You're right, I don't deserve to mention her." ”
Looking at Miturin's disappearing figure, Aaron's heart was filled with guilt. The sentence just now was definitely not what Lei Ze wanted to say, because Lei Ze had completely disappeared from this world, and it was not what Ning Chen wanted to say, because he didn't know anything about this world. Well, there is only one answer left, and this is what Aaron, who has died, wants to say to Miturin.
"How can you say that? you have really broken the heart of the Duke. I dare say that there is no one in this world who loves Lady Winnie more than Lord Duke, including you!" When Miturin's figure completely disappeared from view, Eddie walked up to Aaron's side and said to Aaron with a serious face, "Anyway, he is your father, go and apologize." ”
Aaron returned to his room in a daze, his mind in a mess, not even knowing that Frelia had come in with a washbasin.
"Young master, you should wash your face first. ”
"Felia, I ask you, did I really do something wrong......? What now?"
"I don't know if it's right or wrong, I can only say that although I'm not you, I can relate to your feelings...... Lady Winnie was a very great woman, and it was my life's work to be like her. She gave a lot for the poor...... When she left, the whole Hankyo was crying. I think Mr. Eddie is right, the most painful person is actually the Duke. ”
"I know what to do, I want to be quiet. ”
By the time Felia had walked out of the room, Aaron was lying on the bed.
Sure enough, because of him, he suddenly said that sentence, but why did Lady Winnie die, and what happened at that time? Aaron had no memory at all. He had only memories of the help that Lady Winnie had given to the poor, and the grief he had given to him when he learned of Lady Winnie's death.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Please come in. Aaron sat up and straightened his clothes.
Athos burst through the door in a rage, came to Aaron's side, and roared with a hideous face, "Look at the good things you have done. A good show was messed up by you like this. You're dead, don't pull me. ”
"Don't worry, I'll do it myself, you just need to tell me where the Duke is now. Aaron stood up, looked at the red-faced Athos, and said calmly.
