Peter was smart, very smart.

But no matter how smart a person is, if he doesn't have enough resources to accumulate and no channels for rising, then he can only become an ordinary person.

And not a rising star.

Knowing that he was the illegitimate child of a nobleman, Peter guessed which family he was.

But never put himself in the framework of Jeanne's house.

Because he felt it was impossible.

Jeanne's family is a royal family, and it is a royal family with a low birthrate, and it has always been the winner.

Such a family would never be able to hide its illegitimate children so deeply.

Then it can only be the children of other aristocratic families.

And it is estimated that it is the child of a failed aristocratic family.

It's a great luck to be sent out.

So he never wanted any noble son to recover, he just wanted to live quietly.

When he saw Jack coming over today, he felt uneasy.

But I still have the fluke idea that Hardy really wants to contact his four daughters, so he found it.

With this glimmer of hope, he dared to bring his family to the appointment.

But when he arrived at the banquet, he found that Hardy looked at his four daughters without any lust at all.

At most, when I saw my eldest daughter, I was just surprised.

Then he 'knew' that his whole family was less than lucky.

No nobleman would entertain a commoner for no reason, especially Hardy was a great nobleman known to everyone in Franci.

There is a huge gap in status, not to mention one Peter tailor, even if it is 10,000 Peter tailors, they can't fit each other's clothes.

There was despair in his eyes, but he couldn't bear it.

Or rather, it didn't show it to their own families.

He still had the last glimmer of hope.

Hardy looked at the other party for a moment, then smiled: "Jack, I have something I want to talk to Peter alone, you take a few other guests to the atrium for a while." ”

Jack bent over.

Peter's sons and daughters noticed nothing unusual and happily followed Jack.

They also want to visit the mansions of the great nobles, and they will have embarrassing capital in the future.

Only Peter's wife, who looked at her husband with some concern, then left with him.

She knew very well that she was a small businessman, and she had no power to resist in front of a big nobleman like Hardy.

When the hall closed again, Hardy looked at Peter and smiled, "What would you think if I said that you were indeed the rival of Jeanne's family?" What will you do? ”

"Please spare my wife and children." Peter got up, then fell to his knees and said awkwardly, "I'll go with you wherever I want." ”

Of course...... There is no problem with going to hell.

Although Peter is Honorin's own son, Hardy can stand his prostration.

After all, the other party is only a civilian, even if Peter restores the identity of Jeanne's bloodline, before he is awarded, he has to bow down on one knee when he sees Hadi.

"Do you think you can take eight lives with one life?" Hardy asked, holding his chin and smiling.

He actually behaves very kindly, but he is in a high position and has great power, and ordinary people will always be afraid when they see him.

Even his words will be infinitely magnified and interpreted.

Peter's whole body trembled, and he looked up at Hardy, in despair, with some rebellious resentment: "Your Excellency Hardy, do you have to kill them all?" Aren't the Jeanne family known for their kindness and kindness? ”

Hardy laughed when he heard this.

The other party used words to stimulate Hardy, and he was indeed resisting.

But this resistance is very small, very powerless and helpless.

It's just that Hardy appreciates it.

He smiled and said, "No, you're wrong. Jeanne's family was known for its use of force. It was the first Jeanne, the status and power that was beaten down with one punch and one kick. The so-called kindness and kindness are just a policy of gentleness that we show when we feel safe, and it can only be shown to our relatives and friends. ”

Peter's eyes widened as he listened.

The essence of these remarks, which was expressed, refreshed Peter's three views.

"Alright, you get up." Hardy smiled and said, "I'll think about it again, you guys go back first." Remember, you can't leave the city of Hucaro. ”

Peter, trembling, left the main hall.

Soon, Jack returned from outside.

Hardy said to him, "Command a few men to watch over Peter's family and not let them leave Hucaro City." If they have to leave, they can be tied, and you can threaten them, but you can't really hurt them. ”

With ten more years to live, Jack is becoming more and more silent, but also more loyal.

He didn't speak, just bent over and left.

Hardy returns to her room to find Lillian still sleeping.

He smiled and slept with her in his arms.

The time soon came to noon the next day, and Hardy was eating the food prepared by Lillian, when the information from Little Dumbson came.

Taking a few blank pieces of paper from the servant's hand, Hardy looked at them carefully, nodded and smiled: "It seems that Peter has inherited the kindness of Lady Honorine, and the love for his relatives, and has not inherited the cunning and ruthlessness of His Majesty the former King, which is a good thing." ”

Lillian was giving Hardy a slap on the back at this time, and she was stunned to hear this.

"Peter is Lady Honorin's child?" She muttered subconsciously.

Then he knew that he had crossed the line, and a truly qualified maid should not eavesdrop on the master's news.

There is no need to think.

She immediately said, "Master, I will forget what happened just now." ”

"It's fine." Hardy waved his hand: "But I want to correct you a little, in the future, Peter is the illegitimate son of Lord Dora, not Lady Honorine, do you understand?" ”

The head maid nodded vigorously.

Hardy then shook the golden bell on the table, and Jack walked in.

"Bring someone to bring Peter's whole family over, and prepare a noble dress for all of them according to their size."

Jack's eyes widened, but soon the old butler's qualities were revealed.

He immediately went out with a group of guards.

It wasn't long before Peter's family was invited to Hadi's lordship.

Hardy met them in the living room this time, and it was very formal.

Sitting on the high platform, Hardy looked at Peter's family below, looked at their slightly uneasy faces, and said with a smile: "Peter, reacquaint yourself with me, I am a vassal of the Jeanne family, Hadi. ”

Peter stared up blankly, his face horrified and uneasy about being judged.

Hardy smiled, "Don't be so nervous, I won't do anything to you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Peter was relieved.

He knelt down on one knee and said in a trembling voice, "I am Peter the Commoner, and I have seen Lord Hardy. ”

Others also fell down on one knee.

"No, you're not a civilian." Hardy's words surprised everyone.

Peter knew about this, and he looked up at Hardy, knowing that his life story was about to be revealed, and his heart was full of nervousness.

The palms of his hands were covered with sweat.

"You're Pieter-Jeanne!"

Perhaps the last surname was too noble and sacred, and Peter was stunned.

And his family all had expressions that didn't know what Hardy was talking about.

Very confused.
