Volume 1 The Magic Genius of the Oak Shield Chapter 14 Ai's one-man show
Abandonment?!
Misappropriation of surnames?!
Thief?!
The key words mentioned in Isabella's words are not shocking.
Abandonment of seeds, literally easy to understand, and orphans have almost the same meaning. However, in the emotional color and specific meaning of the words used, it is much worse than that of orphans, that is, wild seeds abandoned by others.
In the Eagle Empire, this is a rather vulgar insulting word.
"It's hard to imagine that Isabella is so noble that she can still say such words in her mouth."
"Yes, it's ridiculous, it's surprising that the noble Deville family teaches such words on a daily basis......"
"But then again, Lannister? Have any of you ever heard of such a family? ”
"No, I thought it was a rare ordinary surname, but I didn't expect it to be involved in 'misappropriation of surnames'."
"Seeing that Isabella is so serious, maybe there is something wrong with this Elwin, everyone knows the superiority of the Deville family in erudition and wisdom, and they never bother to lie in this regard......"
The schoolchildren gathered around a few people in the field, whispering in whispers.
Abandonment?
It was the first time Alwyn had heard the word, but that didn't stop him from understanding it...... It should be that he is an orphan, and at the same time, by observing everyone's reactions, he also realizes that this word is probably not a good word.
Am I being scolded?
But why don't I feel it at all...... Alvin felt his unwavering heart.
Maybe Alwin's temper is really good, or maybe he used to be a keyboard powerhouse, and the psychological quality he has exercised is too strong, and in the face of words that are too much in the eyes of the little kid, it seems to him...... That's it, it's okay, it's not angry anyway.
What's more, the person who said this was a beautiful little girl who was only 11 years old, and she was just a child! Alvin felt even more that there was no need to be angry.
The girl said angry words, just find a time to teach another lesson in the future.
However, there was one thing that Elwin cared about.
Isabella knew he was an orphan, which meant ...... She may have investigated him?
Why did she investigate him?
Could it be...... What did she find?
The thought of this made Elwin's heart tense, he had promised Mithlandis that he would never reveal his true past.
……
……
"Shut up!"
At this moment, a familiar but rather contrasting voice from the impression sounded in his ears, pulling Alwin's wandering mind back.
Alwin's eyes focused, and he saw that Nasha, who should have been by his side, was already in front of him at some point.
At this moment, Nasha's face was left with only a serious expression, and the anger in her eyes that was about to be uncontrollable.
Nasha's scolding made Isabella, who was venting her emotions, stunned.
"Isabella, you've gone too far!" Nasha said angrily, "How could you say that to Elwin?!" ”
She clenched her fists and showed a completely different side than usual, "I can't believe it, I know you have a conflict with Alwin, but you shouldn't just humiliate him casually, no matter who he is, you shouldn't!" ”
"Also, Alvin is my friend, I trust him, he will never be what you say!"
"That's right!" George was a step slower, but he stepped up.
His face was flushed, and he was inevitably a little nervous when he was watched by so many people, but he still shouted without the slightest hesitation, "Alvin is a sincere person, it can't be some 'thief' in your mouth!" And, and you shouldn't say he's ...... Be...... You, you have to apologize to him! ”
It can be seen that being able to say these words in front of everyone is a challenging "task" for George, who is not very bold himself, but for the sake of his friends, he still chooses to stand up bravely.
"Apologies to him, Isabella." Nasha whispered
As she spoke, she took a step forward, her eyes pressing at each other, and her attitude was unusually tough.
Now, everyone can see that Nasha is determined to stand up for Alwin.
“……”
Under the successive refutations of the two, Isabella's face was somewhat unbearable, and at the same time, when she regained her senses, she also began to realize that she had said something she shouldn't have said.
Maybe even she can't believe that she would use insulting words like "abandon seeds" to abuse her classmates, or in public!
Since she was a child, even if she lost her temper at home, she would never say this kind of ...... Words as follows.
"Abandoned seeds" ...... What a terrible word, how dare she say it?
Wait until tomorrow...... No! Even to-night, everyone will know and feel that Isabella is a vulgar girl, and that she, the youngest daughter of the "learned witch" Deville family, is an anomaly, a little Deville who is seriously uneducated.
"Why...... Why am I saying this? Isabella looked slightly dazed, and she opened her mouth to murmur something that only she could hear.
Alwin's eyes narrowed, keeping an eye on Isabella's every move.
"Isabella, you don't have to apologize!"
At this moment, in the crowd gathered together, a slightly thicker and louder voice suddenly came out.
Everyone's eyes were shifted, and a few freshmen moved out of their own way, leaving a passage for one person to pass.
…… What's going on? Is there any "big" character coming out? Alvin raised his right eyebrow and muttered silently.
At this time, an inexplicable urge to turn around and leave here suddenly arose in his heart.
In the crowd, a handsome young apprentice who was only slightly worse than Alvin in terms of figure and appearance, but had a very aristocratic temperament, walked out, he was dressed in a white vest, a formal suit of the same color, his back was well groomed, and even his smile was just right elegant, and his gestures were as if they had been finely designed, and he was very upright.
He touched his chest with his left hand, bowed his upper body slightly, and introduced himself to the people present in a very standard aristocratic manner: "Hello, my name is Aidan Berish. ”
The words fell, and a sparse exclamation rang out.
Alvin caught a glimpse of the faces of many of the freshmen with surprise, oddity, adoration, or admiration.
This little back seems to have a lot of origin...... Berry? Hey, what a familiar surname, haven't I seen it somewhere...... Alvin thought to himself.
Aidan seemed to be accustomed to these gazes, and his face was as usual, first glancing at Nasha a few times, and then, in a caring tone, said to Isabella, "Are you alright?" ”
Aidan's sudden appearance did not make Isabella's mood better, but became more and more sinking.
She glanced at him with some annoyance, then took a deep breath, restrained her emotions, and replied firmly, "I'm fine, thank you." ”
"That's great." The corners of Aidan's mouth went up, revealing a smile that was finally reassuring.
He then set his sights on Nasha and George.
Within his line of sight, it was clear that the three of Erwin could see it, but he ignored Alvin who was standing with them.
Aidan paused, smiled modestly, and said, "Miss Williams, Mr. Weiss, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"The first time we met, we should have met and talked with you on a more friendly and appropriate occasion, but unfortunately, it happened suddenly, I hope you don't mind, and, for my next words, if you make you feel uncomfortable, I also implore you to be able to listen to them before expressing their opinions."
"After all, the 'surname theft' of a new student means that he also has the criminal act of falsifying the entrance information, and this is not only about the reputation of our oak shield, but also a serious violation of the laws of the Empire!"
After listening to Aidan's words, Nasha and George were really frightened.
"Crime", "reputation", "violation of the laws of the Empire"......
For Nasha and George, all they want is to support their friends and not be bullied.
Violate the law...... That Erwen ...... Are you going to be arrested and sent to jail!
The moment this thought came to mind, Nasha's emotions suddenly became frightened and panicked.
"No, Elwin, he's not ......," Nasha hurriedly tried to defend Alvin a few more words.
"Miss Williams." Aidan interrupted her slightly, and then, casually glancing at Alwyn behind her, continued, "Don't worry, I only need a few words, plus a very short period of time, to know the truth, if he's really okay......"
The plain answer is yes. In fact, I would love to trust my new classmates as well, but ...... The truth is that no matter how much we speak for Him, deception is deception, and sin is still sin. ”
"Miss Williams, you can firmly believe in your friends, which is a beautiful quality that you can only have as a nobleman, but sometimes, different friends may live up to your trust, so ...... I mean, trust me, and I'll verify for you whether your trust is worth it or not, in the name of my Baelsy family. ”
Aidan's smile remains the same, always the same friendly and friendly smile.
And under his calm persuasion, Nasha, after hesitating for a few seconds, decided to stop talking, just like George, and she just turned to look at Alwin, staring at him with a blank eye.
Alvin looked calm, as if he were a bystander passing by, and he was silent from beginning to end.
There was one thing, Alvin wanted to know, the two of them no longer insisted, whether they really trusted him Alwin, or simply thought that Aidan's words made sense.
"Thank you." Aidan bowed slightly to the two of them.
Everything is ready, the stage is set.
Be sure to extract any information about the Lannisters from this person, as well as ...... Treasure news......
Aidan raised his eyes to look at Alwyn like a hyena waiting to be preyed, and he said slowly, "This ...... Mr. Elwin, I think there are some questions that you need to answer. ”
……
……
The sun in the sky gradually climbed, and the color of the easy-shaped strip stone turned from blue to red.
In Gaisce Square, in a small area, dozens of new students are waiting.
Even the red-haired senior sister Liv, who was leading the team, who should have stood up to maintain order from the beginning, leaned against a stone pillar not far away as if she was nothing...... Take a leisurely look at the play.
Originally, this was just a small dispute that seemed to be a little troublesome, but in fact, Alvin felt that the problem was not difficult to solve.
But with Aidan's intervention, it turned into his public "interrogation" show for Elwin.
"Tsk, so, I'm a suspect now?" Elwin's gaze was mixed with helplessness, as if he was asking someone else and mocking someone.
"I don't think there's any need to wonder, Mr. Alwin......"
"Stop!"
Aidan had barely spoken before he was unceremoniously interrupted by Alwyn in front of him.
Aidan smiled, and his eyes flashed with a hint of unhappiness, but in an instant he returned to normal, and then he heard Alwyn say this, "Aidan, right? I have a question, can you help me answer it? ”
"Of course, but before that, I think ......"
Alvin said expressionlessly, "Boy, did you not have five years of basic education when you were a child?" Can't even call someone by their first name correctly? ”
