Chapter 0024: Pride
After washing up and getting dressed, Aldington went to the restaurant on the second floor.
Baron Aureno had finished his breakfast and was reading the newspaper that had been delivered this morning, while Old Lady Carly leaned back in her rocking chair and hugged her Shar Pei dog.
Lady Helena was probably still sleepingβthe married lady had the right to sleep in, and could even eat breakfast in bed.
"See the clock on the wall?" Baron Aureno looked at the newspaper and said.
"Eight twenty-five." Aldington didn't make a mistake at all, as a knight in the hard cultivation stage, sleeping lazy was a mistake, "The whole washing process, I only took twenty-five minutes, the life of the castle is too easy for people to corrupt, so as to forget the difficulty of cultivation." β
The baron raised his voice: "Since you understand this, why don't you get up at seven, you are only a probationary knight now, Aldington!" β
"I need plenty of rest, Father." Aldington responded to the baron and said to Carson, the butler, "Breakfast is as usual, thank you." β
"How much sleep do you need, ten hours?"
"I have a reason why I have to rest, Father."
"Yes, I need to hear what reason you have for getting enough sleep." Baron Aureno put down the newspaper and looked at Aldington solemnly.
The way the aristocracy of this world educates their children, although it does not have the atmosphere of "filial piety under the stick" in ancient China, or even "the father wants the son to die, and the son has to die". However, parents still have sufficient authority over their children and pursue strict methods in education.
In the memory of the original owner, he was naughty when he was a child, and he was also slapped by his parents.
"Doesn't my father need someone to exterminate the gopher that destroys the sweet potato?" Aldington sold the guanzi.
"Gogglers are nocturnal and need night to get rid of, don't change the subject, I need to know why you need so much sleep." Baron Aureno was a little surprised by Aldington's "hardness", in other words, Aldington should have been trembling under his face.
At this time, Mrs. Carly spoke to defend her grandson: "Young people are developing their bodies, and of course they need enough sleep, Oreno, don't hold on to a little thing. β
"This is not a trivial matter, knight cultivation is important in persistence, and many noble heirs with amazing talents are working hard to cultivate and strengthen their strength. Aldington's talent is not very remarkable, and there is no reason to slack off, he is the heir of Momiji Town, and this is his obligation. β
Old lady Carly was not an unreasonable old lady, and when she heard Oreno speak a big reason, she turned her head away, pretending not to hear, but only increased her strength a little.
Smooth out the folds on Dudo's face.
Aldington coughed lightly, feeling that the atmosphere was more or less brewing, and stretched out the index finger of his left hand: "Father, grandmother, please look at my finger." β
"Huh?"
"Here's my reasoning." He secretly operated his fighting qi, wrapped in the subtle thunder power in his fighting qi, converging towards the tips of his index fingers.
There is no need to hide it, he is the heir to the baron, a bloodline nobleman, and has enough confidence to show a stronger talent.
So.
The right hand snapped its fingers, and with the sound of snapping fingers, a small electric spark popped out on the tip of the index finger of the left hand, extending less than a centimeter into the air, and then quietly dissipated. But it was this small movement that could not be detected without paying attention to it, which quickly stunned Baron Aureno and Old Lady Carly.
After all, the baron had seen strong winds and waves, and reacted quickly, his tone still calm: "This is ...... Thunder Power, Aldington, have you awakened? β
Old Lady Carly couldn't help but burst into tears: "Three gods bless, my God, Aldington, my little irise, you have surprised my grandmother so much. She threw away the dood, got up and walked over, put her arms around Aldington, and excitedly ruffled Aldington's blonde hair.
"Mother, please hold back your emotions first." Baron Aureno patted Old Lady Carly on the shoulder, freed Aldington, and said in a deep voice, "Aldington, release it again!" β
"As you wish."
Aldington ran the Dou Qi, and another cluster of electric sparks came out, although the power of the thunder is very small, it can be born from the Dou Qi, so as long as the Dou Qi will not be exhausted, the power of the Thunder will naturally not be exhausted. You can set off the electric spark as many times as you want.
"Unlike your great-grandfather's signs when he woke up, your thunder power is too weak." Baron Aureno shook his head at first, and then said, "But awakening is awakening, continuous cultivation, Aldington, you will become a powerful awakening knight just like your great-grandfather." β
Aldington smiled reservedly: "I will try to achieve all this." β
Butler Carson had already brought the servant breakfast, and he didn't know what was going on, but Baron Aureno was quick to say, "Carson, tell the maid to call Madame to get up and tell her that Aldington has awakened." Also, inform all the knights in Momiji Town that a celebratory luncheon will be held at Butterfly Fort at noon! β
Carson has worked in Butterfly Fort for decades, has never been married, and has already regarded this place as his home, and when he heard this, he suddenly said in a trembling voice: "The three gods are blessed, the young master has awakened!" Old lady, lord, the three gods have always favored the Iris family, and the glory of the bloodline nobility will continue! β
Brushing his chest, he hurriedly said, "I'll go and tell Lucia, let her tell Madame about the surprise, and then let Mrs. Murray arrange the luncheon, and I'll take someone to inform every knight in Red Leaf Town." β
"Go ahead." Baron Aureno waved.
He looked at Aldington with satisfaction, who had begun to eat breakfast, and had forgotten about sleeping in, "What your grandfather and I have not done, if you achieve it, the Iris family will continue to obtain the status of three generations of blood nobles." Aldington, I'm so proud of you. β
"Pride is a must, and I knew that our little irises would grow into huge wings that would protect our family from the elements. Oreno, he will surpass yours and start a business like his great-grandfather! Old Lady Carly had a proud look on her face.
Soon.
Lady Helena came downstairs with her loose hair tied up, and when she had received a definite answer, she took Aldington in her arms again and made her affectionate with her.
"Well, I'm a little out of breath......"
Aldington was depressed, and he was very uncomfortable with this excessive intimacy.
After all, his soul is an old oilman in his thirties, not a sixteen-year-old Xiao Zhengtai. That's why he deliberately behaved "tough" to gain the attention of his parents and not to continue to treat him like a child.
But a sixteen-year-old boy, in the minds of his parents, is still a child.
"I need to write, Lucia, go get paper and pen." Helena said to her valet, "I will tell my father, my mother, and my brother. Their grandson and nephew have awakened the power of thunder, and this joy should be shared by them as soon as possible. β
When Mrs. Carly heard this, she also raised her eyebrows, and said to the maid who was serving her, "Fanny, go get a pen and paper, I said you write, and send a letter to the Green Mang Castle to invite them to come to the Butterfly Castle as a guest." β
