With his hands behind his back, Earl Brad stood in the porch in front of his son's bedroom, his face very calm.

The Earl of Devon and Prince Ray beside him were not so calm at all, and their expressions were a little complicated.

They watched their children in silence, and no one spoke.

Alina was lying on the back of the couch with her eyes closed, while Rogers rested on her lap to nap.

Rufia, who had changed into civilian clothes, was leaning on the other side of Alina, holding a soft pillow from Rogers' bed in her arms, leaning sideways on Alina's shoulder, and muttering some indecipherable dream words.

"Does the Duke know about this?" Earl Breed looked sideways at Prince Rheyd and asked in a whisper.

When he saw the change in the prince's expression, he bowed his head in understanding, and continued: "You don't want the Duke to know about it, do you?

"It may be a bit presumptuous to say this, but we all know the Duke's temperament, and if she heard that Her Royal Highness was with Rogers when she stayed overnight, she would probably do something that would give us all a headache.

"And my son's reputation has long been stinky, and if this matter spreads out of control, it will inevitably affect the reputation of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Prince Rheed's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this, and his face was full of dissatisfaction and impatience: "Is this how your Breed family speaks?" ”

He had just found Earl Breed, and he wanted to discuss the marriage first.

To his surprise, Earl Devon had been following Earl Breed, making it difficult for him to speak for a while.

Later, the judge from the imperial capital suddenly summoned the people who were present at the time of the offer to meet with the people at the scene of Kevin's case, causing the Earl of Breed to come to Rutgers in person.

In the end, the current situation was created.

Rogers, who was in a fog, subconsciously wanted to get up and open his eyes after hearing the sounds around him, but quickly resisted the urge again.

Because after hearing the conversation of several parents, he suddenly felt that maybe he had been pretending to be asleep, as long as they didn't come to wake him up, it would be better for Lufia and Alina to be taken away first.

However, Aliana's hand touched his nose as if unconsciously, making his breathing suddenly much more uncomfortable.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Rogers opened Aliana's palm, sat up directly, and said angrily.

"Huh? Did something happen? Alina raised her hand and gently rubbed her sleepy eyes, her brow slightly furrowed to show that she was not fully awake.

Rufia seemed to be awakened by the great movement, her eyelashes fluttering slightly as she opened her eyes, her mouth slightly open and a long yawn.

"No need to salute," said Prince Rayred, who sat down on the sofa opposite the three of them, followed by Earl Breed and Earl Devin.

Rogers felt the dazzling gazes of the three nobles in front of him, hugged his arms, and said pitifully: "It's really cold in the early morning of the snow season, and now you can feel the cold in the mansion, can I go and ask Hans to help change my clothes?" ”

"You kid sit for me." Count Devon snorted softly, his eyes shining with a compelling light, and his countenance revealed the majesty of the superior.

Rogers bowed his head obediently when he heard this, and he looked at his father's unchanged expression, and he couldn't help but start playing the drum in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, if the other party said this, Earl Bred should have shown his displeasure, and at the very least, he had to maintain it a little.

In the face of this situation, there is only one reason, and that is to lose.

Moreover, Earl Devon was known for his mildness in rumors, and his voice at this time couldn't help but remind Rogers of something more.

Alina said that the Earl of Devon had inquired about the engagement before returning home, but her father did not mention it in his letter.

In addition, Prince Rheud should have gone to Count Breed, but he ran into Count Derwin present, otherwise the three of them would not have come together.

According to basic etiquette, Prince Rheud should not have mentioned the marriage, but the timing of his solitary visit to Earl Brad, coupled with the scene that the three of them saw when they returned, was enough for Earl Derwin to deduce too many things.

Thinking about it like this, I began to feel embarrassed for my father.

Secretly considering marrying other people behind the back of his allies, and he has been deliberately pretending to be confused and delaying this kind of thing, which is really not good after being exposed.

But why should it be your turn to resist the pressure, the majesty of Earl Devon is not for himself at all......

Rogersmo crossed his arms and was about to evoke his father's love, but Count Brad shouted directly to his servant and ordered him to bring a velvet blanket.

"This one will be a lot warmer for you." Rufia looked at Rogers' very hardy appearance and handed over the pillow she was holding.

"I'll just wait for the blanket to come." Rogers swept his eyes at the subtle changes in the faces of Prince Ray and Earl Derwin, and politely refused.

"Tell me, what is your relationship with the Holy Maiden, and why does she defend you like this?" Earl Derwin leaned forward and asked, the person he wanted to ask most at the moment was actually Rufia, but because the prince was around, he chose to retreat.

Seeing that Rogers couldn't help but look at Earl Breed, he then added: "The glory of the Breed family and the Devin family have long been closely linked, and His Royal Highness has also seen that you are taking care of you, so you don't need to think about anything, start answering." ”

"Their relationship is just that of ordinary classmates." Alina whispered to her father on Rogess' behalf.

Earl Derwin was slightly stunned when he heard Aliana's answer, and he opened his mouth, his brow furrowed like that of Prince Rheed, and his gaze was directed at Earl Breed.

"Kid, what about the other than that?" Earl Bred then asked.

"Well, I don't know if you want to hear specific examples or abstract generalizations, but in order to avoid simplistic and crude answers, I need to phrase them a little to grasp the precise scope of the relationship between the two people in the question......"

"All I can say is that, as things stand, given the development of our relationship over the years and the changes in daily life in the Academy, we may be able to conclude that in general, you may recognize a clear evolution in the relationship......"

"......," Rogers began his argument with a look of sincerity and seriousness.

Earl Derwin listened to this eloquent talk, and there was impatience, surprise, and boredom in his eyes, and he felt that the other party seemed to answer very seriously, and said a lot of things, but he felt as if he had said nothing.

"This kid must be a very good councillor!" Prince Raueed exclaimed in admiration, but there was a hint of sarcasm in it.

Just as Earl Devin looked at Rogers, who had just been wrapped in a velvet blanket, and was about to continue speaking, one of the attendants quickly came to the side of the group, and the other leaned over to whisper a few words in Earl Breed's ear, and then hurried away.

"When the Holy Maiden went to the court for questioning, she was besieged and attacked by many cultists, and many students of St. Herte heard the news and asked me to send troops to clean up the cultists."

Earl Breed explained the news, and looked at Rogers with a solemn gaze, as did Earl Derwin and Prince Rayed.

"It's really none of anything to do with me." Rogers was greatly injustified by the suspicions of several people, and then hurriedly said:

"Father, you can arrange it, just in time to take advantage of the gathering of St. Herthe's students, I will lead them to the scene to 'rescue the Holy Maiden', it is best to arrange more sense of participation to expand the incident."

This will not only greatly frustrate the prestige of the judge, but may also put some stigma on the other party.

"You lead the cadets? Isn't it true that in St. Herthe, except for Alina and Her Royal Highness the princess, who is close to Alina, they are all hostile to you? "Earl Derwin did not reject the offer, but it was a little difficult to trust some of its joints.

"Then your message must be wrong, they all love me!" Rogers retorted.

There is only one chapter today, the old rules, and I will make up for it tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will add a more chapter as compensation.

I'm sorry. or2
