Chapter 230 IX Speculation

"Look at me now," Rodia pointed to herself. "It should be said that I can be regarded as rich and powerful, and in the past I really had no choice but to do this... But as long as men listen to me talk about my past, no matter what their expressions are, the contempt in their eyes Can't get rid of it. Some time ago, haha...that Prime Minister Ellynn—even I helped him a little bit in the process of becoming Prime Minister—after knowing my identity, that expression...ha Haha..." Luo Diya smiled presumptuously and boldly, but revealed an unconcealable sadness. "I really should show you... that expression, like a toad's mouth is forced to gag after it's pumped up!"

Her laughter stopped suddenly, and her face returned to the original cynical expression, her eyes looked at Ashrufat's face.

"It's tiring talking to people like you," Rodia said. "You must not be good at talking with others. You are only suitable for negotiating business and dealing with others. You and Ah Jin are really natural partners... If you are interested in business, and partnering with Ah Jin, it is estimated that you can create an earth-shattering career. gone."

"I'm not a...proper businessman."

"It's just that you don't like it." Rodia said. "Your qualities are very suitable to be a businessman. There are two kinds of successful businessmen in the market, one like Ah Jin, or one like you. But having said that, you... seem to be very calm and rational Humans are, in fact, complete emotional animals.”

"It's the first time I've heard someone say that."

"When people live in the world, they must find a goal for themselves. Most people in the world are like this. They just look for different goals according to their own abilities. Those with poor abilities are looking for very direct goals. , such as getting promoted, getting rich and so on. Those with strong abilities are looking for the so-called "true meaning of life" and other goals. Aishuruffat, you are such a person. You use your emotions to establish A goal, and then use your almost cold rationality to achieve that goal. This is what I admire about you. Because such people are lunatics, or geniuses."

While speaking, Rodia had already poured herself another glass of wine.

"Why do you say that?" Ashuruffat pondered for a moment.It must be said that seeing Rodia's half-drunk appearance, he felt that this was a rare opportunity to talk. "In your eyes, what kind of person am I?"

"You are obviously an impulsive and emotional person, but you put on a calm and rational armor for yourself." Rodia said. "I don't know why, but the gods seem to unite two completely different and contradictory natures in you, and it's actually pretty good. This is where your tragedy lies, and it's also where your charm lies." She tasted He took half a sip of wine, then stopped and looked at Ashuruffat opposite him. "Don't deny it. Have you ever thought that you took a great risk when you chose to help our little queen?"

"That's my job..."

"That's not a choice that a rational person should have. In fact, if we had to choose a position at that time, choosing our little queen was the worst option? Whether it was staying out of the matter or leaning towards Byron, it was a much wiser choice. .I admit, one risk and one reward, but your ideal doesn't seem to be to be a high-ranking official, to be famous? If that was the case, you wouldn't... have said those things to our Queen some time ago." Luo Tia said bluntly. "You should understand that now there is a crown at your feet, within reach!"

"I don't understand what you said." Ashuruffat found himself conflicted.His instinct made him not want to listen to this topic, but his rationality told him that he should listen to other people's opinions.Especially the opinion of people like Rodia.

"You," Rodia tapped Ashuruffat's forehead with his hand, "you are a restrained and intense, impulsive and fanatical guy, and you are the kind of person who can turn an impulse into a long-term goal! You don't care about anything, money, power, reputation, and status are of no special value to you, because you have the ability to obtain these things easily! I am now sure that the reason why you chose our little queen is because You like her. Of course," Rodia added. "Like is not necessarily love, but love must be like."

"I'm sure that when you chose our little queen, there was absolutely no idea in your mind that you will be rich and rich in the future, and you will have endless enjoyment". I'm afraid you can't even explain why you did so Make that choice."

The two looked at each other without flinching from each other.There was a momentary silence in the small room.

It was Rodia who finally gave in, she groaned. "Okay, the nonsense is over, let's not talk, it's boring. Anyway, it's like this. I've only seen two men in a long time who don't mind my past experience. One is you, and the other is Belle. Because of this, I think Belle and I are very suitable. Now, are you satisfied with this answer?"

"you're drunk……"

"I know if I'm drunk or not. I've heard people say that during this period of time, apart from chatting with Belleur, you've been inquiring about the twins... and you've been digging around in the chamber of commerce to find someone. You found you Is there any answer?" Rodia asked suddenly.

"Found some, but nothing to tell."

"Lie!" Rodia might be really drunk, maybe she was just in high spirits, and her voice became a little bit sharper, completely different from the usual feeling - in her usual time, her expression and The tone is always reminiscent of a bottomless abyss. "I bet you already know Countess Marianne's life story well... so you should deduce that the witness of her marriage contract... is a complete lie!"

Ashuruffat didn't speak for a long time.His silence itself was the best answer.

"Countess Marianne can't be the witness of the marriage contract, and the twins of the Griffin family can't make any marriage contract with you! Because their parents probably didn't even visit Ryan... The lie they wove, On the surface it seems to be quite complete, but a lie is a lie, and a little careful investigation can find countless loopholes!" Luo Diya said loudly. "You don't have to be bound by that lie at all."

Ashuruffat remained silent.

"Don't tell me you still don't believe it's a lie?"

"It's a lie." Ashuruffat finally spoke. "But there are also many kinds of lies."

"How many kinds? Tell me!"

"Some lies are not malicious, on the contrary, they are just better for people to accept."

"So you made up a false marriage contract? I admit that the twins are not bad looking. With the pretense of a marriage contract, it seems more natural for the two of them to marry you. But I am more willing to believe that this is a Conspiracy... and your amnesia was an accident. Countess Marianne took full advantage of this accident... It's like seeing someone fall on the side of the road, so the Countess Marianne went up to grab his wallet Same."

"That's not the case." Ashuruffat said. "Rodia, you are right in some words. My father-in-law and mother-in-law, who have passed away, probably have never been to Ryan. Of course, it is even more impossible for them to meet a knight named Thomas... Of course, what is the engagement of the two children? It is even more nonsense. But although this matter is false, the marriage contract should be true."

"Why do you say that?"

"I already know something... Or I have deduced the truth behind this lie. That's right, Rodia, I am not a knight's son at all. I... Strictly speaking, I am an illegitimate child."

"what?"

"Of course, my father was not an ordinary knight at all. He was not even from Ryan! I think the reason why Aunt Mary chose Ryan was that the place was far away and messy, so it was difficult Go to the field to verify the truth. Rodia," Ashuruffat said. "My father is not an ordinary person, but a great nobleman with great reputation, great wealth and great power."

"Who is he?"

"His name is Thomas," Ashuruffat said. "An earl of Saint-Jean. Although only an earl, he may be the richest lord in that country. He is a man of noble blood, widely admired, and even widely worshiped. I guess, perhaps because of this The reason is that even though he doesn't have a legitimate son, he can't admit that I am an illegitimate son. Because the existence of an illegitimate son...is an open mockery of my father. An illegitimate son...for those nobles with a bad reputation, Naturally, it doesn't matter. But for others... it is a very heavy pressure."

"This one……"

"Of course, although he couldn't admit me publicly. But he arranged everything for me within his ability. That's right, I think, that engagement is one of them. That's why I joined Ge The Griffin family. The Griffin family is a famous family. Xingjian and Xingke... are also good girls. Although he can't let me inherit his name and title, he has paved a smooth road for my future .so this whole thing is a lie from head to toe, I was never from Ryan - just lived there for a while at most. I would run away from home and be a mercenary... for that reason. I think I hate him He gave me life, but he couldn't give me a chance to stand in the sun."

"Aunt Mary knows the truth. She probably also understands that the identity of 'illegitimate child' is the source of my pain. So after accidentally discovering that I lost my memory, she tried her best to make up a lie and made up the story as much as she could. Perfect. Of course, no matter how perfect it is, it’s still a lie. When it meets your keen gaze, it will immediately appear riddled with holes and vulnerable. But even if it’s a lie, it’s a white lie. Aunt Mary is for my own good.”

Luo Diya suppressed her smile rarely, and looked at Ashuruffat seriously.

"If I say...your guess is wrong, you probably won't believe it either." She said every word. "But I still have to say, from my point of view, I'm sure that your Aunt Mary is definitely not such a kind and lovely person. Your two wives are far less harmless than they appear on the surface."

"Other than that, I can't think of any explanation." Ashuruffat replied. "No one would pick up a bum on the side of the road and come home and marry his two nieces, would he? What have I got Aunt Mary to bother about? Such a fictitious engagement, and what can I do for a living?" What did she bring?"

"Things...sometimes cannot be explained by 'logic'..." Rodia said. "You can never know what is beyond your field of vision. Maybe there is nothing there... Maybe, there are things you can't even dream of. Speaking of it, the two of them seem young and a bit unnatural."

"You think too much." Ashuruffat replied immediately.
