"Yes, what a coincidence!" I said with a smile, "Your Excellency's costume is very rare in this kind of place. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Duke Jesse was slightly embarrassed, as soon as he heard that the four of us had left the academy, he was so busy that he didn't even bother to change his clothes. After talking to Paran yesterday, even he began to doubt whether his judgment was correct, and in the midst of gains and losses, he longed to meet the masked Philia and Alice.

Seeing her long-lost father right in front of her, Filia's expression was extremely complicated, but unfortunately it was covered by the veil, and only I could clearly feel it with a keen spiritual sense. However, when I teased her father like this, she couldn't help but give me a strange look. I was secretly amused, I was hesitant to recognize this father before I came out, but now I have begun to help him. The father and daughter have a natural surname, how can the ten-year estrangement be eliminated?

Duke Jesse's embarrassment was only for a moment, and soon, his eyes were already on Philia and Alice, if he didn't know his identity, just this eager gaze was enough to make people see him as an old man. Alice couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but hide behind me carefully.

I coughed slightly, and said, "Lord Duke, it's better to meet by chance, I don't know what you need to buy, but do you want us to help you take a look?" "He came just in time, striking while the iron was hot, just in time to take advantage of the beginning of Filia's heart knot, and my worries were relieved. Although it seemed a little inappropriate to let the Grand Duke accompany us shopping, he should be satisfied with the granddaughter he had never met.

Duke Jesse was shocked and hurriedly withdrew his gaze, laughed, and said, "The old man has this intention." I'm afraid that I'm old and dull, and with you, it will hurt your Yaxing. "He's actually been watching us for a while, but Philia's transformation from an innocent girl to a gentle woman like this one has changed too much from before, and he is not sure at all. It was Alice's appearance and demeanor that gave him a little more confidence in his heart. At this time. He was thinking about how he could observe for a while, and he was naturally pleasantly surprised to have such an opportunity.

Philia already understood that I was intent on drawing Alice closer to Duke Jesse, and after glancing at me, she acquiesced to my arrangement.

Next, Duke Jesse was in high spirits and took us to almost all the shops in the inner city, and along the way, he tried his best to get close to Alice, but for Philia, because he needed to avoid suspicion, he could only observe silently. Strange to say, there were no few people who beat Alice's idea before, and the old man Siskaya had repeatedly asked students to get close to Alice in order to get my teachings, but they all ended in failure, and the stubborn Alice never wanted to accept any gifts from students. However, this time, she did not refuse the gift that Duke Jesse bought her.

When the sky began to darken, and everyone was finally about to break up, he couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Xiaotian, I don't know what your lady's name is, how the old man looks at her more and more familiar." After a short period of contact, he probably couldn't recognize Philia, and after an afternoon of observation, he couldn't hide it from him after all.

Filia was shocked, I smiled slightly, and asked instead of answering, "The boy wants to go to the Duke's mansion, I wonder if the Duke welcomes it?"

Duke Jesse was old and sophisticated, and he understood almost instantly, and his eyes suddenly burst into unprecedented light, and he trembled: "Of course welcome, of course welcome." If you can come to my house, it will be a happy event for the Daronx family!"

My heart moved, and he said that it was a happy event rather than a fortunate event, which probably meant that Filia's identity had been confirmed. Filia didn't think about it so much, she sighed softly, and said quietly, "You shouldn't be so polite to us." ”

It was still the first time she had spoken, and the familiar voice had made Duke Jesse tremble. His eyes were fixed on Filia's veil, as if trying to see through the veil to see through the face behind it. It's just that although this veil looks very thin, it is made of the best magic silk, in addition to toughness, its biggest feature is that it is breathable and opaque.

I smiled slightly and said, "Let's go home and talk about it!" This time, I used a little bit of true qi, otherwise, with his current condition, he wouldn't have heard what I said.

No matter how distracted Duke Jesse was, my voice still flowed through his mind like a clear spring. He reacted suddenly, and found that this was indeed not a suitable place, and reflexively said: "Yes, yes, go home first!" Suddenly, he realized something, and asked in surprise: "Go home?"

"Yes, go home!" I smiled and nodded, looking at Philia with an agitated expression.

It wasn't until Philia nodded heavily that I turned to Duke Jesse with a smile and said, "I think Lord Duke should have a lot to say to Philia, but this is really not a suitable place. ”

"Philia, Philia......" Although it was almost confirmed just now, but when he heard this name again, Duke Jesse was still undescribeable in surprise, and he muttered: "It turns out that it is really my Philia who is back!"

Filia's tears could no longer be suppressed, and they fell like pearls with broken threads. In the morning, she was still worried about not being tolerated by her father, and now, all her worries have completely disappeared at this moment, and she can't help but step forward, take her father's arm, and say, "Yes, Filia is back." Dad, let's go home!"

"Yes, go home, I'm going home with my good darling!" Duke Jesse was already a little incoherent with excitement. Good baby, that's a good name, Alice and I secretly looked at each other and laughed secretly. It's Cassili, who knows that she shouldn't laugh at her housewife, but she can't hold back and snicker.

Philia also trembled, and said helplessly: "Dad, my daughter is so old, why are you still ......?"

Duke Jesse sighed, "Yes, it's been so many years. I really don't know how you've come over for more than ten years. ”

Seeing that they seemed to have the posture of starting to tell the story of the past here, I hurriedly said, "The carriage has arrived, let's go home and talk about it!" Actually, this is nonsense at all, Duke Jesse's carriage has been following us.

Duke Jesse's mansion is also in the most prosperous inner city. The whole manor, although it is not very luxurious, but the furnishings inside are extremely elegant and full of taste. A table and a chair, a grass and a tree, are all ingenious, but they are incomparable to the Mansion of General Qiao of the Oss Empire. Even the subordinates in the house are very standardized and elegant in their manners, and being in such an environment will naturally make people unconsciously care.

I can't help but think of a sentence I read in a book I don't know before: true aristocratic temperament takes at least three generations of hard work to develop. Remembering Filia's usual performance, I finally found an explanation. Growing up in such an environment, even subtly, is enough to completely change a person's temperament. Compared to here, Turk's home is really a bit of an explosive household.

When he got home, Duke Jesse almost couldn't wait to call his wife out, apparently Philia's blonde hair was inherited from her mother. It's just that, perhaps because of the sorrow of her lost daughter, silver threads appeared on her head early. You know, for the lifespan of humans on this continent, she is only barely entering middle age now.

When the mother and daughter met, they cried in the dark, and Duke Jesse and I looked at each other and smiled bitterly, both of which were a little helpless. I proposed, "Lord Duke, I wonder if I can take a tour of this place? "Since I can't help, then I'll be out of sight.

"Since Xiaotian has a heart, then I will send a housekeeper to take you around. So saying, he immediately called his butler, who was my old acquaintance, Mirante, and, after a few words, asked him to show me around. Little Alice and Cassily chose to join me almost at the same time, and although I wanted to keep Alice to get acquainted with her maternal grandparents, I couldn't resist her, so I had to take her out.

"Brother, are they really my mother's parents?" On the way, Alice said strangely, "Why did Mom never mention them?"

I smiled and said, "Of course it's true." In the future, Alice will have a lot of pain, and when the time comes, if your brother wants to pinch your nose or something, you have to ask them if they agree or not. How's it going?

Alice tilted her head and thought about it, and said categorically: "I don't want it!"

"Why?" I said curiously, "What's wrong with having more people hurting?" If you want to buy something to eat, you can ask them to buy it. When you are born or celebrate the holidays, you can also receive a lot of gifts, why not?"

Alice shook her head and said, "I don't want to, I just need my brother to hurt me, but I don't want someone to take care of everything when I am with my brother." I love it when my brother pinches my nose!"

I laughed and said, "That's just a metaphor." Besides, those are your mother's relatives, and if you don't accept them, your mother will be sad. ”

"Really, is Mommy really sad?" Alice said hesitantly.

"Of course!" I nodded hurriedly, "You see, if the person you like is unwilling to accept your mother's care, then you will also be very sad?"

Alice thought about it seriously for a while, and then said, "But I know brother, you like your mother very much!"

"This is just a metaphor, not my brother and me, but the person you like in the future, girls are going to marry when they grow up. I smiled wryly.

"I don't like anyone else, I just like my brother. Alice shook her head and said very seriously.
