"Katerina, I thought...one year of college life should be enough for you to understand the basic etiquette between talking with elders. Now it seems that one year is still too short~"
"Hehe, of course I understand the etiquette of talking with elders..." Hearing the duke's calm accusation, the girl sat up straight with a smile on her face, her appearance It looks impeccable, but there is still only a coldness in the eyes,
"However, I remember how to use etiquette. There is also a particular point. First of all, the person you are talking to must be an elder. You can't just face a scumbag. I have to treat each other with courtesy, right?"
Having said that, the girl let out a soft breath, and then did not give the duke a chance to respond, she waved her hand and continued,
"Forget it, I worked hard to come back, but I didn't come here to quarrel."
"Tell me, old man, what happened?"
The Duke squinted his eyes at the girl's extremely rude questioning method, but he didn't have a seizure, he just asked calmly,
"Katerina, I don't understand, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Okay, you've already made it this far, and you're still pretending in front of me, is that interesting?" Looking at the duke who pretended to be ignorant and answered irrelevant questions, the girl lowered her eyes, then snorted coldly and said ,
"Tell me, what happened to the Aaron family?"
"Although we haven't been together for a long time, I think I know you better. You usually pretend to be very good, but you are essentially a cold-blooded animal. Everything is only in line with the interests of the family."
"Confine your wife and let your heir go on hunger strike and ignore it. This kind of thing that will obviously affect the reputation of the Aldan family should not be done by you in normal times."
"There is only one possibility for you to do this kind of thing... The Aaron family has gotten into trouble, and the trouble is so big that it will seriously affect the interests of the Aldan family."
"What I want to know now is, what kind of trouble is the Aaron family facing at the moment?"
At this moment, after the girl's voice fell, the Duke was silent for a while, and after sighing deeply, the Duke suddenly asked the girl a seemingly irrelevant question,
"Katerina, what do you think of the situation among countries in the world?"
"World pattern~?" Facing the weird question suddenly raised by the Duke, the girl couldn't help but frowned, as if she was thinking about the relationship between the two topics, but after a lot of thinking, she still couldn't figure out the meaning of it. After thinking deeply, the girl waved her hand irritably,
"What else can I think, one super is more powerful, two polar opposites~"
"Above the mainland, the Pusid Empire is the only one with a strong army and no country can stop it. However, around the empire, the anti-imperial alliance pack of wolves has formed a stable alliance camp, entangled with the empire, and the two The big camps are at war with each other, intrigues and intrigues, endlessly."
"How strong is one super, and the two poles are opposite?" After hearing the girl's answer, the Duke was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then laughed softly.
"Hehe, although it's a bit concise, it's still appropriate."
After laughing, the Duke slowly took out a folded sheepskin map from the drawer, and spread the map out in front of the girl.
After glancing at the girl, he noticed the doubt in his daughter's eyes. The Duke seemed to have suddenly turned on the education mode. He pointed to the map and explained to the girl carefully,
"Five years ago, in Anmusi City, which is also the location, a battle of tens of thousands of people broke out between the Pusid Empire and the Anti-Imperial Alliance in order to compete for the strategic location here."
"In the early stage of the war, due to the internal problems of the anti-imperial alliance, the empire has already achieved a decisive victory on the ground battlefield."
"However, just when the empire was about to completely defeat its enemies, the ocean kingdom [Burrose], which had always played the role of peacemaker, suddenly joined the battle."
"The navy of the Kingdom of Burros not only successfully rescued the besieged army of the anti-imperial alliance by relying on its strong ocean transportation capabilities, but also imposed a maritime embargo on the empire, because the local environment is mostly mountainous and land transportation is not easy. The blockade of the Kingdom of Ross once caused a serious shortage of supplies for the imperial army."
"In the end, the empire had to end that war after gaining a huge advantage."
"After this battle, His Majesty the Emperor of the Pusid Empire and the nobles under his command included the possession of a powerful navy in the core development plan of the empire, but unfortunately, the Pusid Empire can almost be regarded as an internal As a land-based country, there are very few lands near the sea, and there are only two large-scale ports in the country that are suitable for manufacturing warships."
"Because of the terrain, one of the ports is almost exposed to the strike range of the Burros naval fleet. The Burros Kingdom will obviously not allow the empire to successfully build a powerful navy to threaten itself."
"So in desperation, the empire had no choice but to try to buy warships from foreign countries, but......"
"But no one dares to sell to them at all, because everyone is afraid of being retaliated by the Kingdom of Burros..." Hearing this, the girl did not wait for the Duke to finish speaking, and spoke first. road,
"And it was at this time that the Aaron family took over the deal, didn't they?"
Facing the girl's rush to answer, the Duke put on a childish look. Seeing this, the girl who got the answer didn't say anything more. She lowered her head slowly, her eyes looked very serious, as if she was thinking about something extremely serious. Important issues.
After an unknown amount of time, the girl suddenly raised her head and asked the Duke again,
"I don't remember that Marquis Aaron is an idiot. What is he relying on to dare to accept business from the Pusid Empire?"
"I have to ask him now~" Hearing the girl's question, the Duke spread his hands and sighed.
"Actually, I'm also very curious about what the Marquis of Wisno is relying on. Unfortunately, it is impossible to know now. This secret has been buried in the grave along with his death."
After hearing the Duke's sigh, the girl suddenly stared at him closely, and after a while, she said in a cold tone,
"The Aaron family's order was not received recently. You have already seen the results today, right? Why didn't you persuade them?"
"Aren't you most concerned about the interests of the Aldan family? The Aaron family who control the second fleet of the kingdom, their existence seems to be a guarantee for the Aldan family, right?"
"Do you think...... I haven't persuaded you?" Hearing the girl's questioning words, the Duke responded indifferently,
"I personally visited the Aaron family a year ago. After they told me about the order, I strongly opposed it. I also told them in detail about the serious relationship."
"But unfortunately, it seems that because of personal emotional reasons, the Aaron family ignored my persuasion, and even made a very irrational move to expel me."
"No way, no one can stop those who want to die."
After listening to the duke's explanation, the girl directly ignored most of the information, and directly grasped a key word,
"Emotional reasons?"
"What do you mean? You offended him?"
At this moment, when he suddenly heard his daughter's questioning question, the Duke was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly understood the girl's thoughts. Regarding the girl's question, he shook his head and said with a light smile,
"Hehe, do you think I provoked him on purpose?"
"Am I so unbearable in your heart? Anyway, the Aaron family is also my ally. Why do you want to do such a thing?"
"Well, I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid that you would have a psychological burden, but I can only say that if you ask this question."
"When I visited the Aaron family, it happened to be the time when I brought you back to the family, and my wife's elder brother seemed to have a lot of opinions about your existence...... I said so Can you understand?"
Dare love or my fault?
Hearing the Duke's words, the girl couldn't help but raised her eyebrows. After a moment of contemplation, she stood up and was about to leave, but at this moment, the Duke suddenly stopped the girl,
"Where are you going?"
"Of course we have to figure out a way!" Facing the Duke's greeting, the girl turned her head and gave him a blank look.
"Otherwise, are you like you, watching your mother die?"
"......She will be fine, I promise." Hearing the girl's sarcastic remarks, the Duke was silent for a moment, and then calmly made a promise, and the girl replied dismissively. ,
"You promise? Why do you promise?!"
"With the Aaron family, the mother is the honorable duchess. If the Aaron family is gone, the mother will not be able to survive at all. According to the broken rules among the nobles, there will be a lot of people thinking about forcing her to death. !"
"How can a scum like you sacrifice your family's interests for an 'insignificant' woman?"
"I said, I will protect her!" At this moment, facing the girl's radical words, the Duke seemed to be a little angry,
"Did you forget that she is my wife, no matter what, she is the mistress of the Aldan family, and I will not sit back and watch her have an accident!"
"Really?" Hearing the Duke's angry words, the girl who had already walked to the door suddenly turned her head and glanced at him.
"Did you say that to my biological mother too~?"
At this moment, when the girl's voice sounded for a split second, the Duke who wanted to continue to scold his daughter suddenly lost his words. His body was stiff and his whole body was like a puppet that had lost its power. At this moment, The Duke looked into the girl's shining eyes, and for the first time felt the desire to avoid it.
On the other side, after seeing the Duke's reaction at this moment, the girl snorted coldly with disdain, and then slammed the door and left.
And when the door was closed heavily, the alone Duke looked at the empty study room, he suddenly felt a coldness pouring in from his neck, instantly invaded his limbs, and finally poured into the depths of his heart.
After a long time, a sigh revealing complicated emotions resounded faintly in the study,
"Martha......"
ps: double update, double update, must be double update today! ! !
Chapter 56 53. Unite!
At the same time, outside the door of the study room, the girl's expression was unprecedentedly heavy. Originally, she thought that the problem of the Aaron family was just a political struggle within the Kingdom of Florida, but now it seems that this matter is actually from the international community. level of major events.
And the most troublesome thing is that the marquis of Aaron, who has turned into a dead soul, seems to have done something very stupid, so that the Aaron family got into trouble with the two camps that divided the world's dominance at the same time.
This is very fatal, which means that in order to save the Aaron family, the girl must face the two camps that rule the world at the same time!
At this moment, the girl finally realized how serious the problem was, and at the same time understood why Duke Aldan would abandon the Aaron family without hesitation, because what the Aaron family was currently facing was basically a dead end.Unsolvable dead end!
"Sister, are you okay......"
At this moment, when the girl was frowning and thinking about the solution, a worried call suddenly came from her ear.
After hearing the sound, the girl looked up, and it turned out that Diana had come to her side at some time, and at the same time, there was also the pale-faced Duke's son Volon.
After seeing the two, the girl was taken aback for a moment, then tried to put on a relaxed look, and responded to her sister with a smile,
"Hehe, what can I do?"
"But......" Hearing the girl's response, Diana obviously didn't believe it, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only continue to look at the girl with worried eyes.
Compared to Diana, Wallon who was standing aside, his reaction was much calmer. After glancing at the girl, he first said hello, and then said calmly,
"Sister, is there anything I can do to help?"
At this moment, upon hearing Wolong addressing her, the girl's face instinctively showed surprise.
Although the time between the two parties is not long, the girl is very aware of how awkward Wolong's character is. Although the girl has defeated Wolong by force, the son of the duke seems to be guarding his last pride. No matter what, she would never call the girl a sister.
But now, Wolong's "sister" yelling is so natural, there is no reluctance at all.
For this, the girl suddenly felt pity for the boy in front of her. You must know that it is impossible for a person's personality to change suddenly. If there is a huge change in a short period of time, it must be caused by strong external stimulation.
Obviously, before the girl returned, Wallon must have gone through an extremely difficult mental journey.
"Hehe, I said Wolong, when will you become like Nana, learn..." Although surprised by the change with Wolong, the girl didn't want to change her. The burden was thrown on the duke's son, she was used to facing everything by herself, but just when the girl was about to say a few perfunctory words, a flash of light, like lightning in the night sky, suddenly flashed through her mind... …
[In the face of a strong enemy, we should unite all forces that can be united, so that we can break out of the desperate situation! 】
After the flash of inspiration, the girl suddenly fell silent. At this moment, she suddenly realized that she was no longer alone. Even if she really had to fight against the whole world, there would still be someone by her side walking side by side with her.
"...Walon, I didn't intend to put pressure on you, but since you mentioned it, then I will help you."
After a while, as if she had figured out something, the girl suddenly turned straight and said to Wolong,
"You must be very clear about the current situation. I need you to answer me seriously. To what extent can you protect your mother?"
"Everything!" When the girl's voice fell, it seemed as if she realized her own value for the first time, and Wallon responded extremely firmly,
