Chapter 37 [Father's Love is Like a Mountain]
Hearing Lin Tao say this, the Duke of Wales was almost dumbfounded. Originally, according to his plan, he pretended to be embarrassed in front of Lin Tao, and then promised to settle this matter for him, so that Lin Tao would be grateful to himself, but he put forward one more condition. In this way, you will have a firm initiative. But as soon as Lin Tao's words came out, he instantly became passive.
He didn't expect Lin Tao to take this matter seriously, and he didn't even care about the royal family's revenge. But after thinking about it, I'm afraid that it's the same, Lin Tao doesn't say that he has such a cultivation when he is young, he must have a strong background behind him, and he doesn't have to worry about the royal family making trouble. Besides, even if he is defeated, he can pat his ass and leave, and then the matter will still fall on his own head. After all, Lin Tao was invited by himself, and the martial artist died in his own manor, so he couldn't pick up this matter anyway. Thinking of this, the Duke of Wales snorted, and secretly cursed in his heart: "Little fox! Too shrewd! See through the matter at a glance!" Finally, and most crucially, who made Loria love Lin Tao deeply? Can he, the Duke of Wales, not save him from death? In that case, Loria would not have to break with his father.
After such an analysis, the Duke of Wales felt that he had to help the kid in front of him, and he also had to help the dead face, which really made him uncomfortable.
But where is the Duke of Wales an ordinary person, he put on an angry face at the moment: "Then I won't talk about this matter, just say that my daughter likes you so much, you just ...... If you were like that just now, then it's not too much for me to entrust you with something, right?"
As soon as this move came out, Lin Tao immediately disarmed and surrendered. Who said that he was caught by the old man in front of him just now, and he was afraid that the situation of his second child just now was also seen by the old guy. But this old guy is really good enough, put this kind of thing on the table, the old man is thick-skinned! Lin Tao secretly slandered himself in his heart. Even if he was reluctant, he had to agree, so he had to nod helplessly and acquiesce.
Seeing that Lin Tao finally gave in and was deflated, the Duke of Wales felt a burst of joy in his heart, and felt that his whole person was a few pounds lighter.
"I'll be honest with you. That Gu Feng boy was scared half to death by you this time, but I am afraid that I will never dare to come to this Welsh city in the future, and when the servant dragged him down just now, he was still urinating and incontinent, which is really embarrassing. The Duke of Wales had an angry look on his face, and he was very disdainful of the cowardice of the ancient seal, "But in any case, he is also a prince, and he is the biological son of the king and queen, and he is spoiled on weekdays, so he has developed such a brutal and strange temper, and it is not bad to be rectified by you this time, so as not to be buried in the future when the Otto Empire comes to his hands." Come to think of it, His Majesty the King will definitely not spare you, and he will definitely retaliate. At this point, there is no problem with me. Even if it is revenge, he will only be in secret, not on the table, you can solve it yourself. After all, this matter was provoked by his precious son first, not to mention that he couldn't afford to lose this person in the royal family, I guess Gu Feng would only dare to tell his parents about this matter. ”
"Hmph, I still want to marry my precious daughter, dream!" said the Duke of Wales with disdain on his face. "Compared to this matter, the death of this soldier is not worth mentioning. Although the power of the empire is great, it can't control the life-and-death duel between the masters of the fighter, if this matter is used as an excuse to trouble you, the old man will be the first to refuse!"
Lin Tao raised his eyebrows, and the last sentence he said to the Duke of Wales instantly came to mind. There is no doubt that the relationship between the Duke of Wales and the royal family is not very good, and perhaps the Duke of Wales has the intention to replace him. Of course, this is Lin Tao's idea, and he will never ask it openly, and that would be low-end, not to mention that the Duke of Wales will never say it.
"I don't think you're in any danger without me!" said the Duke of Wales, wiping his beard and sneering, "Well, I have only one request, and I hope you will grant me!"
"Please speak!" Lin Tao stretched out his hand and made an animal to please. In any case, this matter can be regarded as a favor from the Duke of Wales, otherwise it will be a little trouble, and what Lin Tao is most afraid of now is trouble. If there is no help from the Duke of Wales, presumably the royal family will definitely hunt down and kill him, Lin Tao is not afraid of this, but it is better to have more than less.
Sighing slowly, the Duke of Wales's eyes showed a look of remembrance, and his expression became painful, "I hope you treat Loria well." She was a miserable child, although I did my best to satisfy her materially. But I always knew that she was not happy, because she had no mother since she was a child, and she could not snuggle up in her mother's arms to receive breastfeeding like other children, and could only drink the milk of her wet nurse. She can't have the care and love of her mother like other children, and she doesn't have a mother to help her comb her beautiful hair. She can only rely on servants, and many things in her heart will not and are not suitable to talk to my brothers, who are fathers, including her. I remember when I was a child, Loria kept asking me where my mother was, but I couldn't answer. When she was a little older, she learned that her mother died in childbirth because she gave birth to her, and for a time she was very heartbroken and closed herself off, thinking that she had killed her mother. Until the last few years, such thoughts have faded, but I am sure that the pain in her heart has not diminished at all. She is a fragile and sensitive girl, which is why she has a cheerful personality and a quirky style to disguise herself. At the same time, she is also a sensible child, and she wants to make herself stronger, so as not to worry us. Speaking of which, it's all heartache for me!"
"So, I beg you to treat her well, and don't hurt her, otherwise I'm really afraid that this girl will do something she can't think of. This is also a request from me, as a father, to you. Seeing Lin Tao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, the Duke of Wales waved his hand lightly and continued: "I know what you want to say? I am a person from the past, and I can see that Loria loves you deeply, and you don't mean that you have no feelings for her at all. But you deliberately suppressed your feelings, and I think it has something to do with your upbringing and cultivation. What I want to say is that even if you can't accept Loria wholeheartedly right now, please don't reject her love for you, or she will be heartbroken. She is like an egg, although it has a hard shell on the outside, it is soft on the inside. ”
"You are a young man with great potential and a bright future, I know that you will not stay in the Lord of Wales, you have your own world, you have a wider sky, and your life will be wonderful. But I want you to take Loria and take good care of her. I knew that in that case, although Loria would be dangerous, living an uncomfortable life, almost to a strange world. But I know very well to my daughter that she doesn't really have high material requirements, what she cares about is the pursuit of spirituality, the pursuit of love! She loves you, and wants you to love her, and what she is looking for is just a sense of existence. ”
The Duke of Wales in front of him lost his usual seriousness and majesty, just like the elders next door slowly telling Lin Tao at a glance, occasionally stopping to look at the bright moon in the sky, sighing softly, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, this is the pillar of the Orsay Empire in front of him, but this strong man has always controlled not to let the flowing water slide down his cheeks.
At this moment, Lin Tao was silent. He really felt his father's love, the so-called father's love is like a mountain. For a moment, Lin Tao felt that his heart was overwhelmed. He thought of his father, and there was no doubt that his father loved him the same, but he hid it more deeply and would not express it. There is no father in the world who does not love his children.
How could Lin Tao refuse such a sincere request from such a father? He couldn't refuse at all. What's more, he had blocked all his retreats, and Lin Tao himself had gradually fallen in love with that elf-like woman, and what Loria had done before had broken his heart. Therefore, Lin Tao nodded slowly and agreed.
Seeing that Lin Tao agreed to his request, the Duke of Wales looked very happy, laughed and patted Lin Tao on the shoulder. "On behalf of Loria's mother, thank you!
Lin Tao shook his head and said, "Mr. Duke, I promised you to take care of Loria, but I still insist on my own opinion, I don't want her to go on an adventure with me! I myself live a life of unknown life and death, how can I give Loria a comfortable life? You don't know that my enemies are very strong, and I am nothing more than a drop in the bucket in front of them, and if I love her, I can't harm her." If it was because of me that I hurt Loria, then I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of this shadow for the rest of my life. Besides, have you ever thought that Loria has lived a life of fine clothes and fine food since she was a child, and can she adapt to it when she drifts with me at first glance? I can promise you that as long as I complete my mission, one day I will come back to marry her, and never leave again, and give her a happy life!" This is also because Lin Tao felt deep admiration for the Duke of Wales's love for his children, and the image of his father was instantly tall in Lin Tao's eyes.
Hearing Lin Tao say this, the Duke of Wales didn't speak for a long time, paced up and down on the lawn, and only sighed after a while, and said, "Let her follow you!"
