Chapter 41: The Inscrutable Leo
(There is another chapter in the evening.,Weak ask for recommendation votes)
Byron was stunned for a moment when he saw the few people in the real room, and said, "Why are you still here?"
Montoya hurriedly said, "Teacher, we just discussed a few questions, and we are about to leave, have you rested so soon?"
"How is that possible! I just received a message that your uncle and your father will be home in a moment, saying that they have something to discuss with me. These two guys really don't know how to sympathize with the elderly, so they have to rush at noon. It just so happens that a few of you are still here, so let's clean up this place with John before leaving. By the way, Leo, you don't need to come over in the afternoon, today's class will be suspended first. The old mage's nap was disturbed, and his mood was obviously a little irritable, and after he finished speaking, he tossed through the boxes and cabinets, and shouted in his mouth: "John, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you come and help me find it!"
"Master, what are you looking for?" asked John weakly.
"A red ledger!" replied Byron, angrily.
On the other side, Montoya looked elated, clumsily helping to tidy up the messy room, and muttered: "Oh yes, my father is coming back, he knows that my recent results are so good, he will definitely give me some rewards." ”
Hearing the news, Leo didn't feel anything, but when he remembered something, he couldn't help but feel slightly apprehensive in his heart.
Isa's father, Leo, will definitely come back with him, and when the son-in-law meets his father-in-law, God knows what the scene will be. This kind of thing, Leo has no experience at all in his two lives combined.
............
Sure enough, as soon as Leo had finished packing up his room and had just returned to his cabin, Isha ran over and said that his father, Leo, wanted to see him. In desperation, Leo had no choice but to move his heavy steps and walk towards the fourth floor of the castle.
A moment later, in a spacious and bright room, Leo looked at the man in front of him, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
The man resembles Isha somewhat, with blue eyes, short blond hair, and a delicate beard, and is very handsome. I can't see the age, but with the unique charm of a mature man, with a smile on his face, he looks very gentle.
This was Isha's father, Leo, the closest confidant of Count Clemmond Joseph, the only non-nobleman who lived on the fourth floor of the castle.
Leo looked at Leo at the same time, Leo also looked at Leo, neither of them spoke, and the heavy atmosphere in the air grew thicker and thicker.
After a while, Leo spoke, "Boy, you are calm, and I am satisfied with that. ”
"Thank you for the compliment. Leo bowed slightly, his face was not expressive, but he was pondering the other party's intentions in his heart.
Ten minutes had passed since he entered the house, and in addition to responding to Leo's greeting when he first arrived, this was the first thing Leo said, and Leo couldn't help but be even more worried, "Isn't he satisfied with my other aspects?"
Leo looked at Leo, and after a short silence, he continued: "Although Isha has no status now, she will not be a maid for the rest of her life, and you are not qualified to be her partner. ”
Leo was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that the other party seemed to be dissatisfied with his identity. He sorted out his words and said sincerely: "I understand, but I am now an apprentice of Master Byron, and I will work harder in the future to make Isha live a good life." ”
"No, you don't understand. Leo sighed, as if to say to Leo, and seemed to say to himself: "Some people are born destined to be extraordinary, and some people, no matter how much they struggle, cannot escape the shackles of fate." ”
This sentence was a little inexplicable, Leo pondered for a while, but still didn't have any clue, so he tentatively said: "What do you mean ......?"
Leo shook his head and said in a low voice, "I believe in Isa's vision, since she likes you, it means that you should still be good." I've heard about the servant in charge before, and you can be considered responsible, and being able to become Byron's student also shows that you have talent and perseverance. I, as a father, of course, want my daughter to be happy, according to common sense, I should not be obstructed, but some things, especially fate, can never be disobeyed by ordinary people. ”
"Fate......" Leo repeated, but his heart was not angry. Leo didn't look too bad, he didn't expect to fool himself with such words, but no one could take Isha away from him, not even her father!
After a pause, Leo continued: "Lord Leo, I used to believe in fate, but now I don't believe anymore. ”
Leo was obviously a little surprised, then his eyes narrowed slightly, stared at Leo, and asked, "Oh, you are a little child, you know what fate is?"
Leo looked back at Leo without fear, "I may not understand, but whose fate is in the hands of a person? God or the superior is not, I think it is only in my own hands." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Leo's mouth, and he played with the taste: "In your own hands? If I say that I will kill you now, do you still think that fate is in your own hands?"
Although he didn't know the strength of the other party, Leo was still sure that Leo would not have to make much effort if he wanted to kill him. But he didn't have any panic because of this, and even his heartbeat didn't change, and said calmly: "No, you won't. ”
Leo wondered, "Why are you sure I won't?"
Leo replied categorically: "Because you are Isha's father." You definitely don't want to put Isha in pain. ”
"Are you threatening me?" Leo smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Leo shook his head and said, "How come, I just want to take my fate into my own hands." ”
Leo continued to stare at Leo for a while, and then suddenly burst out laughing, "Hahaha, what an interesting little guy, I'm starting to like you a little." ”
"It's my pleasure. Leo smiled too.
Leo stroked his neat beard, as if thinking about something, while Leo waited quietly.
I don't know how long it took for Leo to say leisurely: "Boy, since you are so confident, then why don't we make an agreement." ”
"Whew, is this a pass? What a weird man. Leo secretly let out a sigh and hurriedly said, "Please speak." ”
"Actually, I don't have much to ask for Isha's future partner, as long as she likes it. But the scary thing about the future is that it is unknown, so I have to make sure that Isa's future is under control. Leo didn't care if Leo could understand or not, and said to himself: "So, if you can be promoted to a full-fledged mage before the age of sixteen, we will have the next step to discuss, otherwise ......"
Leo interrupted a little rudely: "I won't let it appear, I accept your request, and within next year, I will definitely be promoted to a full-fledged mage." What's next?"
Leo was not displeased by Leo's rudeness, on the contrary, he appreciated this confidence, and for a moment, he saw himself in Leo and saw himself in his youth. Climb up step by step from the bottom, don't know how to be afraid, don't know how to give up.
"Oh, what a young man, fearless and ignorant. After commenting in his heart, Leo spoke, "I said that I will not talk to you about the next step until you are promoted to an official mage." ”
"I see. Leo nodded heavily.
According to common sense, a full-fledged mage and a maid are not a combination at all, but in front of Leo, Leo did not feel anything wrong, because he could already perceive that the man in front of him was probably not as simple as a servant manager.
"Boy, I'll keep an eye on you. Leo said with a sharp look in his eyes.
"I won't let you down. Leo responded.
Unexpectedly, Leo sneered: "I will never be disappointed in irrelevant people." ”
Leo paused for a moment, then smiled, "I'm sorry, I mean, I'm not going to disappoint Isa." ”
Hearing him say this, Leo's eyes finally softened, and then he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, you'd better not disappoint Isa." If you have some convictions, then desperately try to hold on to your own destiny. ”
Leo saluted and left, and the room fell silent again.
A moment later, a slender figure came out of the shadows and came to Leo's side, and it was Vanessa, who was charming and moving.
The woman pursed her lips and said, "My lord, you really let His Highness and this kid ...... Although he has some talent, I'm afraid it's still far behind. ”
Leo hummed noncommittally and said, "Why don't you settle the matter early?"
Vanessa pursed her lips and said, "I want to see how that kid breaks the game." You know I have the power not to let anything happen......
"But you deepened Isha's attachment to him. ”
Leo's words didn't bring any emotion, but Vanessa knew that the other party was really dissatisfied.
She couldn't help but hang her proud head, and in front of Leo, she always felt like she was still a child, "I...... Yes, my lord, I am derelict in my duty, please punish me. ”
"Forget it, it's fate. Leo sighed, and the whole person seemed to have aged a lot, "Since Isha likes it, then what we can do is to see how far this kid can go, and maybe help him again." I have been incognito for so many years, not so that Isha can be an ordinary person and live a stable life. If this kid has the strength to protect Isha, I don't mind letting the two of them be together, alas, when my daughter is older, she will marry after all. ”
Vanessa was puzzled: "But His Highness's bloodline is already showing signs of boiling, and if it's not good, we will have to leave here soon." ”
Leo showed a pained expression, "I'm back this time with a brand new potion, maybe I can suppress it for a while." ”
Vanessa didn't know what to say, and suddenly remembered one more thing, "My lord, that kid is still teaching His Highness to read, should we stop it?"
"No need, if Isha likes it, let her learn, I can't hide it from her for the rest of my life. Leo coughed violently as soon as he finished speaking.
Vanessa was startled and hurriedly asked, "My lord, has your injury worsened again?"
Leo didn't care and said, "It's okay, it's still within the range that can be controlled." Alright, you can go back too, I want to rest for a while. Klemond plans to start the operation early next year, and during this time, I will take care of Isa, and you must hurry up and gather information, send people to the fence, and always do something for others. ”
"Yes, my lord, please take care of yourself. Vanessa turned and disappeared into the shadows.
