Chapter 4: An Inexplicable Marriage Contract
readx;
"I'm sorry, but the Duke has ordered that Madame is not allowed to leave this courtyard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info You'd better go back. The two guards guarding the Duke's courtyard said in a cold tone.
"In that case, then I'll go in. Esenfan frowned. When I heard that Aunt Filyn was grounded, I thought that she was just not allowed to leave the Duke's Palace, but I didn't expect that she couldn't even get out of this big courtyard, what is the difference between this and house arrest.
"Young master, it's not that you don't know the rules, no one is allowed to enter this place without permission except for the Duke and his wife!" said the guard.
Esenfan turned to leave, but did not really leave, but went around to the back of the large courtyard and wrung out the little lady who was sleeping in her clothes.
"Is there anything in there that threatens our existence?" said Esenfan to little Grace.
Little Grace has a strong sense of perception, and Ethan Fan actually wants to sneak in, but he is worried that there are some masters who protect the duke hidden inside.
"Squeak Squeak...... Soon Grace told Esenfan that there were many hidden masters in it, and if she broke in, most of them would be discovered.
In desperation, Esenfan also had to ask one of his wife's servants to inform Filine that he had returned, and quietly waited for news.
However, soon Firin's servant sent a message to Esenfan, saying that Filyn had only been sick and could not bear the cold, so she had stayed in the courtyard all the time.
Esenfan naturally knew that this was just a rhetoric, so he went to the Duke's Palace again, but this time, Esenfan was very surprised to see his graceful and luxurious aunt.
Fei Lin is also worthy of being the eldest princess of Zhan Zhiguo, whether it is beauty or temperament, she is completely superior to those ordinary noble women.
In the Fiai family, because of her unknown origins, Filine was easily ostracized by some of the older generation of Fiai people, who felt that the duke should not marry such a wife.
But almost everyone in the Fiai family knew that Filine was definitely a well-educated woman, and even many secretly believed that even those royal ladies did not have the grace and dignity of this beautiful woman.
When he saw Firin, Esenfan immediately had a strange feeling, which came entirely from the instinct of a vampire.
Yes, Esenfan produced a strong vampire ** at the first sight of Firin. As vampires, no matter how strong their self-control is, they have a hard time resisting the temptation of blood from their loved ones.
At this time, Ethan Fan is also like this, he can smell the smell of blood from the same race as himself in Firin's body, if he can drink this blood, it will make his origin blood more pure, and even the vampire power will increase!
"Some time ago, it was indeed because of some minor illness, and I happened to have a little conflict with Old Fei Ai, so those servants talked nonsense. Filine smiled and explained the so-called "grounding" incident to Esenfan.
"Esenfan, Esenfan, are you listening to your aunt?" asked Firin, leaning over the beautiful face to Esenfan, and whispered.
Ethan Fan subconsciously took a step back, the closer Fei Lin got closer, the more difficult it was for Ethan Fan to control his surging **, he was worried that he would really expose the real surname of the vampire and suck Fei Lin's blood.
"Oh, I'm listening, it turns out that it's just those people talking nonsense, it seems that those old fellows have an opinion about you again, and deliberately instructed the servants to create these public opinions. Esenfan reacted quickly, and then replied in a bit of a panic.
"It seems that you have changed a lot when you come back this time, and it is not as sunny as before. Philin quickly sensed the difference in Esenfan.
Esenfan has become a vampire, and the whole person has naturally changed in temperament, less youthful than a young man, and more restrained and mysterious.
People who are not familiar with Esenfan may not be able to feel this change in Esenfan, but Filene can be said to have brought Esenfan up since she was a child, and she can detect even very subtle changes.
"Hehe, mature, mature......" Esenfan said perfunctorily with a smile, and at the same time, that kind of strong bloodsucking ** has been impacting his bottom line of principle, and even his eyes have subconsciously scanned whether there are other people around...... "Yes, this time you won the championship of the Ten Nations Academic Competition, and Lao Fei Ai is also very happy, it is estimated that a celebration banquet will be held for you, and at the celebration banquet, you will also be given a marriage contract." Filine didn't see Esenfan's strange appearance, but said with a smile on her face.
"Well, it's up to you......" Ethan Fan nodded subconsciously, but after two or three seconds, he suddenly came to his senses and stared at Filine with wide eyes.
"What, the marriage contract?" Esenfan was dumbfounded, and the strong vampire ** was also overwhelmed by this sudden news.
Fei Lin nodded seriously, and then said: "Although that girl can't be regarded as a national beauty, but she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is just worthy of you, a university scholar, I believe you will like it." ”
"Wait, wait. The old duke doesn't arrange Dani's marriage contract, so he is in a hurry to arrange what to do for me, I am only twenty years old......" Esenfan really calmed down.
Esenfan did not live in the Fiai family as a nephew of the lady, but as the adopted son of the duke. Aside from the bloodline, only in terms of generation, he is the same identity as Dai Xin'er and his three elder brothers.
So on the surface, Esenfan is the fourth son of the duke, and if the marriage contract is made, the duke's third son, Dani, should be considered first, and then it will be the turn of Esenfan.
"Dani's matter is still uncertain, and this time you have won the honor for the country of Finland at the Ten Nations Exchange Conference, and the Duke will settle it for you as soon as he is happy, what's wrong with being twenty years old, twenty years old just happened to be married. "Fei Lin would like Esenfan to get married as soon as possible, and then start a branch or something for the Zhanlong clan.
Esenfan has nothing to say, he didn't expect the old duke to go so diligently to tell him a family matter, Esenfan wants to marry the old duke's biological daughter - Dai Xin'er, as for the others, Esenfan is not interested, even if it is the third princess of the country of Finland.
"Actually, there is something strange about this, old Fei Ai had no intention of chatting with old Cyr at a banquet, and old Cyr mentioned you out of nowhere, and then I don't know what the two big men said, laughed, and then hit it off, and set that marriage contract for you. Feline said.
"Old Fei Ai is too boring, and he sold me in a few words...... Besides, I've never seen that girl at all......" Isenfan cried.
thought that something had happened to Fei Lin, so he rushed back to the family in a hurry, but he didn't expect that once the family had an inexplicable fiancée, it was too ridiculous, which made Esenfan how to explain to Dai Xin'er.
When Esenfan was talking about the old duke's unkindness, the old duke happened to come back.
The Duke of Fei Ai is forty-five or sixteen years old, in fact, he is only a middle-aged man, and he can't be said to be old, but Fei Lin likes to add that charm in front of him, and Esenfan subconsciously called it like that.
Although Issenfan is the adopted son of the duke, it is impossible for Issenfan to call this duke his father, or even his uncle, and he usually calls him by his first name, or Duke of Faiai.
The Duke of Fayer was an easy-going but extremely principled man, and just as Issenfan treated him, the Duke of Fayai only regarded Issenfan, the nominal adopted son, as a nephew, and could make a few jokes with Issenfan, but he was rarely partial or optimistic.
And this time, Esenfan won the final championship at the Ten Nations Academic Exchange Conference, which is indeed a very happy thing for the Fei Ai family, the old duke has a face when he goes out, and often hears someone say what happened to his adopted son, so he was happy and made a marriage contract to Isenfan on a whim.
"Our academic champion is back, and I haven't heard anything from the servant. The Duke of Fayer also laughed when he saw Esenfan, and his two beards rose with the corners of his mouth, and his expression was gentle, a standard nobleman's appearance.
"Old Duke, when did you become a matchmaker. Esenfan said to the duke with a wry smile.
Old Fei Ai raised his eyebrows, and seemed to understand why Esenfan said that he was a matchmaker, laughed, and then said to Esenfan: "Hehe, this matter has not been completely decided. But if you can settle it, you'll win glory for our family again. ”
Esenfan is really helpless, he really wants to tell this old man now: I have your daughter, if I marry another woman, your daughter will die or live, you can see how to solve it yourself.
"Esenfan, you go back first, I have something to say to old Faia. Filine glanced at Esenvan and said to him.
Isenfan also knew that it was useless to talk to the old duke about these issues of principle, and now he could only hope that the Sir family would not agree, otherwise Isenfan might really marry a woman he had never seen before, since Felin had nothing to do, Esenfan had nothing to worry about, as for the marriage contract that ran out inexplicably, Esenfan resolutely resisted this vulgar political marriage.
Obviously, the old duke did not give Esenfan a wife when he was happy, but obviously wanted to get closer to the Sil family, who occupied the prime minister's seat of the kingdom.
...... After winning the academic competition, Esenfan was quite right to direct the sword theft case himself. After Esenfan returned to his courtyard, several elders of the Feiai family sent people over and implicitly asked Esenfan about the sword of the dragon.
However, Esenfan has always made it clear that the Sword of the Zhan Long was indeed stolen by Nie Luo, and he only received an honor, not a reward for his actual surname.
If Esenfan didn't say that, the sword of the dragon would definitely be forcibly taken away by those mercenary old things, and after ten years in this family, Esenfan knew the virtues of those guys too well.
In the afternoon, Esenfan climbed onto the roof, and lay there as lazily as before, enjoying the rays of the sun as it moved westward.
After becoming a vampire, Esenfan was very resistant to the sun, but when he mastered the ability to control fire, he had a very strange feeling about the sun, as if he would deliberately go to a place with sunlight in the cold winter, and that kind of warm radiation made Esenfan feel very comfortable.
"If you can solve the problem of toxins in your body, you can do whatever you want in this country of Fen. Esenfan said to himself.
Every vampire has been sucking blood for a long time, and the original blood contains more or less toxins, and the old telekinesis also warned Ethan Fan not to suck some people's blood at will because of greed, which will only allow more toxins to precipitate.
Therefore, now Isenfan is more careful when hunting, like the blood of those tavern girls, Isenfan will not easily suck it, after all, these dusty women are more or less infected with some strange diseases because of their inappropriate lives, and these diseases are toxins that have fatal damage to the original blood of vampires.
In addition, vampires cannot suck the blood of the Bloodline, because while the Vampire sucks the blood of the Bloodline, they will accumulate all the toxins in the blood of the other Bloodline.
If it weren't for half of the blood in his body and the old telekinetic's extracorporeal filtration and circulation method to save him, Isenfan would have become a sane vampire monster long ago.
"Young master, your afternoon tea and some snacks. An An has been serving Esenfan for ten years, and when she saw Esenfan lying on the roof basking in the sun, she consciously prepared these things for Esenfan.
The Bloodline does not need to eat food, and the stomach of the Bloodline can only digest blood, and if other foods are eaten, they will only slowly rot in the vampire's stomach, or even ferment, which will make the vampire's stomach very uncomfortable.
However, Esenfan is now a beginner fire mancerer, if he eats these things, if he can't digest them, he can just burn them, and if he can't burn them, he will be excreted directly from his body in a normal way. So he didn't mind eating something to spice it up.
"Hey, there's a new batch of books in the library?"
Isenfan's angle is facing the west, and among the mansions of the nobles to the west stands a somewhat ancient and solemn spire-shaped building.
This building is the library that Esenfan used to visit, and the minaret pointing to the sky also has a pennant of the national emblem of Fen hanging on it.
The reason why Esenfan knew that the library had new books was also because of this pennant, because only when new books were in the library, the flag would be replaced with a new one.
"Well, it's been the last two months. An An sat next to him, staring at the library, his eyes fell on a very dark window facing the library in this direction, and then said to Esenfan, "Young Master, when you were lying here, did you feel that someone was always looking at us from that window in the attic of the library?"
Speaking of which, Esenfan really had this strange feeling before. The library was very familiar to Isevan, and the attic belonged to a closed room, and that room Iseven had never entered.
Before, when lying here, Esenfan's gaze occasionally swept over there, and he did feel someone standing there looking at him, but soon that feeling disappeared again.
The library is only about two hundred meters away from Esenfan's room, and Esenfan only had this feeling before, but it has not been confirmed.
And now, Isenfan's senses have improved, and if he judges carefully, he will definitely be able to confirm whether there are people who are always watching him.
Looking intently, Isenfan focused his attention in that direction at the same time, so that his ears only received the sound waves coming from that direction.
Empty.
After some probing, Isenfan found that there was no one there at all...... "Is it really an illusion?" Isenfan said to himself.
After discovering nothing, Esenfan didn't think much about it.
It's been a long time since I've had the opportunity to sit on the roof and bask in the sun, and it's good to regain that feeling, and Isenfan has been here for a whole afternoon with his eyes closed.
Although little Grace is not afraid of the sun, she is not as perverted as Esenfan to the extent that she likes to bask in the sun, so this little guy still hides in Esenfan's clothes and has **naked contact with Esenfan's**.
"Young Master, the materials you want have been collected almost, but that fourth-level demon heart and a thing called Huangquan Grass are a bit difficult to find, if you buy them with money, I'm afraid the gold coins won't be enough." Luban climbed on the ladder, then looked at Esenfan and said.
And because he only showed a head, this position just happened to see the scenery under the skirt of the little maid An An sitting next to Esenfan, Lu Ban accidentally glanced at it, his eyes immediately straightened, and his saliva was about to flow out.
An An immediately discovered the pervert's actions, screamed, hurriedly clamped his little thin legs, picked up Esenfan's cup of tea and smashed it on Lu Ban's head, so Lu Ban fell down magnificently, and his back hit the ground hard...... "Young master, why did you bring back such a vulgar guy, it's really annoying...... An An began to complain.
Esenfan smiled, pointed to Lu Ban who was lying on the ground like a toad, and then said, "He's a soothsayer." ”
"Hmph, it must be a charlatan, you can know it when you look at that virtue. An An said.
"An An, if you don't get rid of asking this and that, I'll marry you to him. After saying that, Esenfan stood up, did not take the stairs, and jumped directly from a height of nearly seven or eight meters.
Lu Ban fell to the ground, but after hearing Esenfan's last words, his eyes immediately lit up, his saliva flowed wildly again, and he almost fell to his knees immediately, thanking Esenfan for his wise decision just now.
An An didn't dare to speak more, but she didn't take her eyes off Esenfan.
Because just now, this young master actually jumped directly from a height of seven or eight meters, his movements were light, and he didn't even raise a little dust when he landed, just like a master outside the world!
She has been serving the young master for ten years, and An An has long felt the changes in the young master's return this time, but she can't say what changes have occurred, in the words of her daughter's family, it should be: more manly than before!
