Verse 261: A Dialogue between Two Lonely Souls (2)

Next chapter

Rand pushed open the door that he had once known, and suddenly a hint of apology welled up in his heart.

Originally, he was supposed to live peacefully here with Lady Sarah, but because of some changes in his thinking and the arrival of the plane war, he did not exist anymore.

Of course, he did not regret his change of mind, because it made him more realistic about the world.

However, it did affect him and Lady Sarah.

"What's wrong?" said Lady Sarah a little timidly, she hadn't been with Rand for a while, and she suddenly felt that the person in front of her was a little strange, maybe not strange, but the other party was becoming more and more like a real man.

"Nothing, I'm back, I'm not going to leave here again, I'm going to stay with you and do something I think should be done. Rand smiled, "Now I'm hungry." ”

"I'll go get you something to eat. Lady Sarah let go of the hand she was holding him, and happily ran into the kitchen with her skirt in hand.

Rand smiled and looked at her back, two years is not a long time, the once slender body has been a little out of shape, but it is still beautiful in his eyes.

For those injustices in the world, those greatest injustices, even if he clearly knew it now, he still could not follow the path of armed struggle that Mr. Cumminnathan said, except for the bond of family affection, the beautiful figure in front of him was not one of the reasons.

"You'll have to find a balance. Rand sighed slightly and said to himself.

After a while, Lady Sarah brought delicious food, and Rand picked up his knife and fork and ate the long-lost delicacy.

After filling his stomach, he did not immediately get up, but took Lady Sarah's hand and said, "I am back, but I am not going to go back to my house to take over those businesses, I am not very interested in them, I am going to do something else." You can sue them for this decision of mine. ”

Lady Sarah listened happily at first, and when it came to the last sentence, her body stiffened, her face changed, and she couldn't help but say, "You know everything?"

"Of course I guess, they must ask you, as long as I am by your side for a day, and if I do anything wrong, you must sue them. Rand seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"Yes, that's right, that's what Master Jimenez asked for the last time I was worried that something would happen to you and ran to the door. But I didn't betray you, I didn't tell them anything. Lady Sarah said in a panic.

"It's okay, I don't blame you. Rand reached out and stroked her head, he really didn't blame Lady Sarah.

No one knows better than him that if Jimenez makes a powerless woman submit, it is not a problem at all, there is no overt means, there are only two reasons, one is because of himself, and the other is that the other party needs to willingly pass on the news and help the Jimenez family master Rand's moves.

What's more, there is nothing he doesn't dare to let his grandfather know.

Not to engage in armed struggle, that was his limit, but he still had a lot to do, and those things might challenge the nerves of the family, but they would not cause a rupture, and they would not let Lady Sarah in front of him become a victim caught in the middle.

He stroked Lady Sarah's somewhat frightened face, and said softly, "Don't worry, you can report some of my whereabouts to them later." I have decided to live independently in the future and I will go to a new career as a lawyer. ”

"Lawyer?" said Lady Sarah.

"Yes, the law is a tool for the ruling class to rule over others, and lawyers are the ones who make reasonable use of these tools, generally for the sake of the ruling class, but I can also do something from it that is beneficial to the general public. Rand said, "So my whereabouts, what I will do in the future, there is nothing that you can't see, of course you can sue them, if they feel that they need to know you all the time to grasp my thoughts and actions, you can tell them regularly, anyway, the Jimenez family has a lot of money, just for you to make up for the family." ”

Lady Sarah wanted to laugh, but couldn't, and Rand laughed: "Although the lawyer's income is good, it is not as good as my past, and it is good that you can have an extra income." ”

Lady Sarah was finally convinced that he was not joking, and that she was not angry at her former recklessness and being forced to accede to the demands of the Jimenez family, and her heart finally settled down.

"It doesn't matter, I can do something else and make some money, but lately I've been bored, so I've collected the clothes of the workers near the place where I used to live, and I came to help them sew them. Lady Sarah choked up a little and said, "No matter what you do, I will support you and accompany you." ”

Rand patted her on the back, stood up, and picked up his clothes.

"You're going out?" said Lady Sarah, wiping the tears from her eyes, the trepidation, guilt, worry, and anxiety that had accumulated during Rand's absence.

"Of course, I've said it all, I'm going to be a lawyer. In six months' time, if I can pass the exams for the legal texts, I will be eligible to accept legal commissions, and now I have to register first. Rand smiled.

The woman watched the man walk out of the house and watched as he walked and put on his clothes and walk into the early morning mist.

In the past, he would not have dressed like this, he was always dressed before he left the house, and if it was in the house of Jimenez, there would be servants who would serve him, let alone worry.

Perhaps it was the military life that changed some of his habits, the woman thought.

Mrs. Sarah did not guess wrong, it was more than a year of war life that made Rand's habits change, in fact, during the period of living in the Northern Liberation Front, some of his habits had been impacted, but that time was a little shorter, and when he came back, he slowly returned to his original state, but this time his military career seemed to have changed again-

The Bar Association of Asturias had only recently opened its doors when it welcomed a client, a person who aspired to become a lawyer, to be precise.

"Rand, Rand Jimenez. "The fat clerk who is responsible for registering the new members retrieves the information provided by Skynet, which is connected to the magic brain of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Kingdom, and has the information of the citizens of the kingdom on it, and if you grant certain permissions, you can see the details of each citizen, and this difference refers to the completeness of the record about this person.

The fat clerk's bald head suddenly rose, and he stared at Rand, although it was impossible for him to see all of Rand's information, but at least he could know that the person in front of him was the young master of the Jimenez family.

"Jimenez's family, to be a lawyer?" The fat clerk was shocked, he used to always have a condescending posture in front of those novices, and he was always proud when he mentioned lawyers to outsiders, but in front of the four words Jimenez, he was not proud at all, only shocked.

Although he is only a clerk, but because he has some relatives with a royal barrister in the association, otherwise he would not be able to get this position, he has the qualification of a lawyer, but the level is not very good, he can be a clerk in the association, although he is getting farther and farther away from the court, but he can know some insiders, and he will be familiar with some famous barristers every day, and over time he can also accumulate some contacts, and he can be a broker secretly if he does a good job.

Therefore, he knew that there were many famous barristers in the association who were very eager to relate to the four words in front of him and serve them.

"Yes, I am now registering for the bar exam in half a year. Rand said.

"Yes, of course. The fat clerk was a little scrambling to register it and gave Rand a certificate.

His head was sweating, and at the same time, he was quickly using his brain, how to make some friends with the young master of the Jimenez family in front of him in this limited time?

However, when he racked his brains and raised his head, he was stunned to find that Rand had already walked out of the gate of the association.

Damn, the fat clerk scolded himself, it's so useless, it's too late, what a good opportunity, if you use it well, it's completely possible to soar from now on.

If you can catch the words Jimenez, why do you need to sit here as a clerk?

While the fat clerk was remorseful, Rand was already far away.

But he did not return to Lady Sarah, nor to the old house of the Jimenez family.

He walked down the street towards the city center, towards the first inner town of Saint-Quentin, where he wanted to meet someone.

He didn't stop until he reached a palatial mansion, and then knocked on the knocker.

He handed the servant who opened the door, identified himself, and even mentioned the word Jimenez, which he did not want to mention, because he wanted the one to see him.

"You want to see the Duke? hehe, but boy, the Duke is not in St. Quentin right now. The old butler of Duke Solomon's Mansion said with a smile.

"No," said Solomon, disappointed, "can you tell me where I can find the Duke now?" Rand said.

"I'm sorry, but I can't reveal his whereabouts without the Duke's permission, and the Duke has rarely seen anyone since he stepped down as commander. The old butler refused Rand's request.

"I'm sorry, I was reckless. Rand said disappointedly, the charm of Jimenez's words obviously did not work in the old butler, and if his grandfather had come to declare that he had an urgent matter to see, there might still be hope.

Rand politely took his leave and walked out of Solomon's building in St. Quentin.

If Duke Solomon was in St. Quentin, there was another place where he could live and stay besides this old estate, and that was the royal palace, but this was even more than the possibility of Rand entering, even if he used the influence of Jimenez, it was impossible to enter without permission.

Rand let out a long exhale, deciding to return to Lady Sarah first.

"Wait, young man. The old butler's voice rang out, and an old man in a white butler's uniform came up from behind.

After approaching, he whispered: "I contacted Lord Duke, he remembers you, let me tell you, he is on vacation in the City of Freedom, you can go and meet him, he is waiting for you there." (To be continued.) )
