Magic Industrial Age

Perhaps in the heart of the noblewoman, power is far more important than family!

Or perhaps, in her eyes, securing the Raymond family's title and territory for Loye is the best she can give him.

So, from the moment they met, the noblewoman wanted to take him back to the Duchy of Norman, to push him into that position.

However, what she wants is not what Loye wants!

The title of a thousand-year-old noble family...

A vast earldom...

Isn't that tempting?

To many people, it might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, one they would fight tooth and nail for.

It's not that Loye doesn't care, but he wants to live according to his own ideas, he wants to arm himself, to become strong,

But he never wants others to make decisions for him.

Not even his biological mother!

So, although he doesn't care about family affection, Loye used the simplest method to leave the noblewoman speechless.

You want to talk to me about benefits, then I'll talk to you about feelings!

Meeting Loye's expectant gaze, the noblewoman's thoughts were completely thrown into chaos.

Everyone's evaluation of her is that she is decisive and ruthless. A woman who can sit firmly in the position of Grand Duchess must have means.

But facing her son, a woman is still a woman, and she cannot escape that slightly guilty feeling.

After a long while, she said, "Actually, I went to see you, when you were very young, I would secretly go to see you."

"But, you know, not acknowledging you, not letting the outside world know our relationship, is the greatest protection for you."

"I have been paying attention to you. Since you came to Auckland City, you have become excellent, very excellent."

Loye pressed on relentlessly, "Then do you know that not long ago, I encountered an assassination?"

"The assassins of the 'Misery Witch' dragged me into a dream, wanting my life."

"I don't know about this!"

The noblewoman raised her eyebrows, her eyes sharp, "Was it done by that mysterious force?!"

"See, you also know that it was those people who did it. I'm still in Auckland City, and they've already sent assassins.

Do you think, if I really go back, really inherit the title of Earl of the Raymond family, wouldn't I die even more miserably?"

Loye looked at the noblewoman and said, "As a mother, haven't you considered the safety of your son?"

"I will guarantee your safety!"

"You can't guarantee it. The Raymond family, a thousand-year-old earldom, who dares to say it's weak?

But what about now?

It's just gone!"

"You can't protect the Raymond family, naturally, you can't protect me either!"

In the end, Loye's eyes seemed to be filled with disappointment, unspeakable disappointment, and he spoke again, "You, rather than saying it's for me, it's just your ambition.

All you want is the title and territory of the Raymond family."

Having said that, the disappointment in Loye's eyes was almost overflowing. He turned around, stepped forward, opened the door, and left, all in one go.

Even his back showed a bit of decline.

The noblewoman watched, her lips opened, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

Until Loye went down to the first floor, got into the carriage, and under the driver's urging, drove out of the Provence Manor.

At this time, the noblewoman walked to the window, looking at the departing carriage, with a bit of loss in her expression.

"Tell me, am I really not a qualified mother?"

The pretty girl beside her said, "Everything you do, Master, is for his own good!"

"But for his own good, is just what I think is for his own good, it's not necessarily what he wants.

Just like my father back then, who insisted on me taking the position of Grand Duchess, I was very resistant."

"Until I took that position, I completely understood that my father's decisions were all right!"

Muttering like this, the entanglement in the noblewoman's eyes had completely disappeared. She looked at the departing carriage, as if she saw Loye's back, and couldn't help but smile.

"This little rascal, is really clever enough!"

"Worthy of being the child of me and Karl, not bad, not bad!

I now feel more and more that he should be the head of the Raymond family, the Earl of the Duchy of Norman."

The pretty girl spoke at the right time, "But the young master seems a little resistant?"

"Then think of a way, think of a way to make him understand that only by inheriting the title of Earl can he have the power to protect himself.

Instead of just wanting to hide!"

"But some things, he can't hide from!"

Saying this, the smile on the noblewoman's face faded by three points, and she said, "Contact the Hapsburg Empire's official, and tell them, I still have to stay here for some time.

Let them do me a favor!"

The pretty girl was a little embarrassed, "The Hapsburg Empire should be no problem.

But, Master, many people in the old family are afraid they won't be able to bear it for long."

"They are like hungry wolves, eyeing the territory and title left by the Raymond family.

Moreover, you also know that noble marriages are too normal. If there are really no direct descendants, their inheritance is considered reasonable."

"Then notify them to keep an eye on things. Before I go back, whoever dares to show their head, beat them up!"

The pretty girl immediately responded, "Yes!"

The noblewoman said again, "Help me put a bounty on the Pan-Continental Assassin Organization, 5,000 gold Thalers for the head of a 'Misery Witch', with a maximum of 100,000 gold Thalers."

"Forget about that dead ghost Karl, my Afra's son, is not someone that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can touch!"

"Yes!"

This time, the pretty girl's voice was three points louder.

……

On the other side.

Inside the carriage.

Butler Hoover actually came along, and so did Mira and Ang.

Loye raised his hand, rubbing his brow, relieving the fatigue of the day.

Too many things happened this day, and the impact was too great, he was really tired!

Mentally exhausted!

He didn't expect that the first meeting with his biological mother would turn out like this.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

But the water in the Duchy of Norman is too deep, he is really unwilling to get involved.

And this time, it was Butler Hoover who couldn't hold back. He said, "Young Master, are you really not going to consider it?"

Loye raised his head, meeting Butler Hoover's expectant gaze, and said, "You want me to get involved?"

Hoover said, "I am mainly afraid, I am afraid that the family with a thousand years of inheritance will disintegrate like this."

"If the young master doesn't come forward, I can even imagine the arrival of that day, it will definitely not be too far away."

Loye nodded slowly, he could understand Hoover's worries.

Unlike Loye, Loye really doesn't have much affection for the Raymond family. He acknowledges it, it's even a labor-capital employment relationship.

But Hoover is obviously different!

As a butler cultivated by a thousand-year-old noble family, many generations of their family have been engaged in this profession, and they have also been favored by the nobles, so they have the opportunity to become butlers.

Their recognition of the family, their pride in this identity and glory, is not something Loye can imagine.

But really get involved?

He was a little unwilling.

For a long time, for a long time, he said, "Let's talk about it! Let's talk about it!"

……

It was night,

Lying in bed.

For a long time, this was the first time Loye had insomnia.

In his mind, countless bizarre scenes seemed to flash.

Sometimes it was childhood memories, sometimes it was the face of Earl Raymond,

Sometimes it was the carefree life in Fiero Town, sometimes it was the battle in times of crisis,

Sometimes there was also the life in the Filante Magic Academy, sometimes it was the sweating like rain during training……

And all of this, converged to the vast beauty of the Flower Territory, and there was a terrifying existence, destroying all of this with a wave of its hand.

If you say that Loye really didn't have any heart, that is naturally impossible!

The accumulation of a thousand-year-old family, the title of earl, the territory of the Flower Territory, and now there is no restraint.

If he really inherited all of this, it would be equivalent to stepping into the circle at the very top of this world in one step.

The countless secrets of this world will also unfold to him.

Perhaps, the Raymond family has the powerful combat skills he needs, and even secret sacred skills.

However, great benefits are always accompanied by dangers.

So far, there is really no news about the mysterious force that destroyed the Raymond family.

This is what Loye is most worried about!

This night, Loye seemed to be dreaming, but he also felt that he was awake.

Until the end, it turned into a long sigh, echoing throughout the room.

Danger and opportunity always coexist!

The allure of the bait and the poison are also on the hook!

What should I do?

……

Grand Duchess Afra Norman stayed at Provence Manor. Loye had already prepared himself mentally to welcome her many methods.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party behaved very quietly, as if she was just staying there, waiting for him to change his mind.

However, the entire city of Auckland showed a strange silence because of her arrival.

Everyone seemed to be busy with their own affairs, but, as much as possible, they kept the noise to a minimum.

Seeming to be deeply afraid of disturbing this one!

The majesty of the Grand Duchess was vividly displayed at this moment.

It was also in this quiet and almost oppressive environment that several days passed in a flash, and Loye got the news.

The Bella is about to arrive in port!

This ship has nothing to do with Loye, of course, but Lilia Lightninger is on this ship!

Yes, she is finally back.

At this moment, Loye felt like his heart had a home, and he was a little more eager.

At the same time,

Inside Provence Manor.

An urgent piece of information was delivered to the Grand Duchess's hand through a temporary teleportation magic circle.

Looking at the message on the note, the corners of her lips finally had some smile!

Today is another day of hard work!
