Chapter 25: The Father-Daughter Dispute
After two weeks in Lois, when Christina was about to get tired of the procrastination of Angus's men, and was about to abandon her rifle and set off on her own, the deranged Duke heir finally surprised her with an unexpected surprise.
"Here's what you want, lovely Miss Christina. Angus himself held the rifle and came to Christina with a grin.
β...... It always feels like you've found it before, right?" Christina snorted as she took the rifle from Angus's hand, "I feel like you might have been trying your best to find this thing in the first week, but in the second week, you seemed to be trying to fool me. I said, "You're probably going to take it for research, don't think I can't see that the gun has been unloaded, but as long as you get it back, I don't mind what you do to it." β
Angus just continued to smile at Christina, but didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
"How did you find it?" asked Christina.
"Found in a blacksmith's guild, but...... The blacksmiths said they didn't know they had this thing. "But that's normal, and if I were one of those blacksmiths, I'd definitely deny it." This rifle is so important that holding it can buy a small country. β
"Sort of...... Is it normal?" Christina also fell into deep thought.
After shaking her head and dispelling the gloom in her heart, Christina said goodbye to Angus.
"Now that I've got this gun, it's time for me to go. Christina put on her hood, "Thank you for your 'hospitality' over the years." β
"I don't think Miss Christina you care about such a trivial matter, do you? I know you have more important things to do, and you don't have the time to pay attention to me as a little man. Angus laughed, "But are you in such a hurry, Miss Christina?"
"I don't want to stay here for any more minute. Also, you guessed it right, but it doesn't make much sense. Christina glanced at Angus and shook her head, "Instead of speculating on my actions, you should think about how to develop your own family." I'll give you one last piece of advice, if ......"
"All right, Miss Witch. Angus was uncharacteristically serious, "Please don't tell me any magical prophecies or exhortations, it's terrible, for me, I don't want to stare at the 'fate' pressure of life." I know, those prophecies are pretty damning, aren't they?"
"Is it a curse? But curses, there is no way to avoid it, I am different from you, I firmly believe that people can change their own destiny. Christina laughed to herself, "Although this is probably an unrealistic delusion." β
"So, how about I give you a personal advice at the end?"
"Then I'll listen to it. Angus bowed.
"Chasing girls, it's not you chasing like this, stupid, even the wood surnamed Si is better than you. With a taunt, Christina rode her broomstick out of Angus's sight from the clear blue sky.
"What an interesting little girl. Angus stared blankly in the direction of Christina's departure and muttered, "It's a shame I didn't leave you behind." But if you do climb into my bed, what shall I call the lovely little Theresa? sister or mother-in-law?"
"The people of the Auvergne family are really a bunch of incredible guys. Angus held his head and thought in distress.
......
Christina did not expect that by the time she arrived in the town of Aliai, the king would have long since disappeared.
All the people in the city knew that the king had gone to the west with his army three days earlier, and that he was going to pacify the people of those lands himself, by the way...... Pull out the strongholds of the Galedonians on the southern coastline.
On the side of the couch, how can people be allowed to snore and sleep! Deep in the southern corner, with strong enemies around you, how can people sleep peacefully?
Now in the town of Aliai, only the crown prince Huge and his dishonorable illegitimate sister Theresa, and his sister's concubine, Sinampe.
Before the king left, he handed over all the chores of the southern territory to Huge, needless to say, this purpose was naturally to exercise his governing ability, but before he left, he also ordered Theresa and Sinampe to move to the city.
A fierce conflict broke out between the two generations.
"Listen, Division, I know what you've been up to lately. When the king summoned Sinampei to him, he went straight to the point and made his request, "You have been trying to make plate armor lately, right? Do you need hydraulic power? There is a need for craftsmen? You can go to the guilds in the city! However, I advise you, don't secretly do it in secret." β
Sinampe heard the king's warning, and his heart kept rising to his throat. If this was in ancient China, I am afraid that he would be charged with plotting rebellion immediately......
He was silent and did not speak.
Theresa's face was even more ugly than his: "Your Majesty, this is our private property! You have no right to ask us to do this!"
"I am your guardian......"
"I'm an adult, Your Majesty!" exclaimed, "I don't want you to interfere in these matters! If you want a guarantee, I can swear that I won't let our stuff go abroad, and I can also promise that when the finished product comes out one day, I will provide it to you at the lowest price, but please don't ignore my rightful right." β
"Well, that's your right, but I have mine, tooβif you don't want me to take out the Estates-General's message and strip you of your property. The king said coldly.
Theresa's face turned pale: "You...... How can you do that, I'm your daughter!"
"Then I would like to ask you, why do you do this, I am your father!" the king coughed violently because of the injury, and then went on slowly, "your wings are stiff, and you want to disobey me?
"You don't understand, things aren't ......"
"You don't understand, Theresa. The king took a deep breath, "I can accept that you have blown away that Aaron with the secret recipe of glass, after all, it is a hot potato, and it will not do the country much benefit except for the profiteering of the people." But now what you're trying to hold in your hand is different, and I can't put it in anyone's hands, even if it's my daughter. Child, I don't don't understand that little calculation in your heart, but you have to consider me, I'm not just an ordinary father. "PS: I said I'd at least have more chapters, I'll have more chapters, but isn't the pace a little slow lately?
