For example, his mother's relatives.
Langdon's mother was born in the Marquis Patrick's family. Because she was far away in another duchy, she did not communicate very frequently. After Langdon's mother passed away, she also maintained a normal frequency of writing letters and giving gifts. The father remarried and prepared to alienate them.
But Langdon's father died young and his wife didn't look for him again. For the sake of having an heir, the ministers of the Duchy of Stuart didn't push them too much, and the two sides just kept going back and forth— —Langdon's father was a little colder, and the Marquis's was a little more positive, but not particularly positive.
It wasn't until Langdon succeeded to the throne, probably due to a definite blood relationship, that the Marquis Patrick's family finally became enthusiastic.
This birthday, the Marquis Patrick, Langdon's uncle, couldn't come in person, so he asked his wife to go for him, and Langdon's mother's married sister also said that he would come, Langdon didn't reject.
The two groups of natal families did not come together. The first to arrive was Langdon's aunt, who arrived just the day before the birthday party.
The lady looked at Langdon kindly but politely, smiled and said that the gift was in the carriage, and asked the attendants to move in later.
"You can just call me Narcissa...Although it's the first time I've met you, I think you are really kind and worthy of being related by blood. You and my husband really look alike."
Langdon responded, "Just call me Langdon."
My aunt smiled: "Okay."
Because Langdon rarely saw his mother's natal family, it seemed that his grandmother had visited his mother once when he was very young. It happened that he had some doubts about his mother recently, so he planned to ask his natal family what they said.
"your mother?"
The aunt was not surprised that Langdon would ask about his mother. After all, it was well known that the Duchess died young, and Langdon was not too old now. Although he was about to become an adult, he was still a child in her eyes.
As for the children, it is normal to be curious about the mother who died young and want to know more from relatives.
"You are really asking the right person when you ask me. We are very familiar. Before we married your uncle, I handed over handkerchiefs to your mother... Her body? Well, because she was born prematurely, her health has not been very good. But it slowly came back..."
As they chatted, it seemed that Langdon's question was finally beyond the normal range of understanding, and my aunt felt something was wrong subtly.
But after she thought about it, her aunt found another reason. She felt that Langdon probably didn't understand why his mother died so early, so he asked such detailed questions.
"...But after she got married, we didn't have much contact with each other, so I'm not very clear about your question..."
The aunt, who was short of words when asked, smiled and raised a topic that was very understandable no matter when she said it.
"Speaking of this, Langdon, when do you plan to get married? Have you taken a fancy to a noble daughter? Actually, my natal family has a niece who is about the same age as you..."
Langdon blushed instantly, and pushed out the shield almost reflexively: "Well, actually...the princess is here..."
My aunt is still smiling: "I've heard that, but sometimes it's better to have a high status. Langdon, you have a very good temper, and you might not be able to overwhelm others. It might be better to choose an obedient and well-behaved person at such a time." ..."
Langdon: "..."
This is very obvious private goods.
Could it be that his ministers would not have thought of this problem?The advantage of a princess is not that she is a princess, but that she is an elf mage! ! !
The meaning of the ministers is that as long as the elf mage can be obtained, other details can be ignored.
Although the aunt said she was Langdon's mother's natal family, she had no blood relationship with Langdon after all, and she seemed to care more about the interests of her natal family... But since she was either a forced salesman or just offering an opinion, Langdon also It's not that I can't bear it.
But in order to avoid continuing this topic, Langdon could only throw away the temporarily useless Bellatrix, and brought up another favorite candidate for the ministers to nominate his marriage partner.
"Well, the Holy Maiden actually has a good relationship with me..."
Aunt frowned slightly: "Flora? Growing up together may be a good relationship, but...how did I hear that the saintess seems to have slandered your reputation in the imperial capital?"
Langdon froze for a moment.
Because of the difficulty in conveying information, and it has only been a few months since Langdon and Flora officially broke up, not many people even in the Duchy of Stuart know exactly what happened to Flora and Langdon in the imperial capital. What contradictions, at most, heard something.
Most people's understanding is that young people are having troubles, seeing Flora living in Stuart Castle, and even blocking guns for him two days ago, no one has taken those rumors to heart.
Unexpectedly, my aunt knew... Was this a homework done to sell my niece?Is it too hard?
Langdon was shocked.
Fortunately, my aunt quickly explained: "My niece is also in the imperial capital. She has heard a little bit about your relationship with our family, so she paid special attention to it..."
Okay, that's a decent explanation.
Langdon sighed: "Don't worry about it, anyway, Flora and I are reconciled."
The aunt continued to smile: "That's good. After all, she is a saint. Of course, it's best to reconcile."
Langdon: "..."
Is this the grown-up?It's watertight...
Let's brush this topic aside for the time being, and Langdon also discovered that his aunt's understanding of his mother is only superficial, and there is no point in continuing the conversation, so he didn't ask any more questions. After chatting with him for a while, he With the help of Bridget, who had agreed to call him when the time came, he escaped successfully.
Bridget looked at him sympathetically: "The Duke also has this kind of distress..."
Langdon sighed: "It's okay, I'm used to it."
It's just that the ministers are lucky to say that he has to be more serious about the relationship with his aunt than others, so he is a little bit tired.
But no matter what, the combination of Princess Bellatrix and Saintess Flora is a lore in front of any marriage urging army. No one can come up with a better choice, and many people even Therefore, he felt that Langdon was very good, and even privately bet who he would choose in the end.
Only Langdon himself knows that he is now a Buddha, his heart is like still water, he is focused on survival, and has no intention of falling in love.
But speaking of this, Langdon suddenly felt that he should care about his subordinates' marriage issues: "How about senior sister, have you considered getting married or something? If you get married, will you plan to go home and become a housewife?"
Langdon didn't care about such things before, thinking that a housewife is a housewife, and this is everyone's choice.
But now, Langdon just wanted to say that it was a waste of resources for senior sister Bridget to become a housewife. Could it be that senior sister Bridget worked so hard to become a magic swordsman to become a housewife! ?
Of course I want to protect him! ! !
Bridget replied casually in a nonchalant tone as always: "My mother urged me too, but the teacher said she would find a good one for me, so my mother assured the teacher to help me find it."
"……teacher?"
"Well, it's the head of the Royal Knights?" Bridget pondered for a moment, "Speaking of which, the teacher should have seen my resignation letter, right? I thought the teacher would say something, but he never wrote to me ..."
Langdon felt a sudden suffocation.
"Wait, didn't you resign without the consent of the leader?!"
[ps: Add more, thank you for your monthly tickets and rewards ~ more can come~]
67. This is the only thing I can tell you (3k)
Langdon thought that the senior sister resigned through the formal process, and then came to him to apply for the job, but it didn't sound like something was right? !
Bridget said innocently: "I put the resignation letter on the desk in the teacher's office, and he can see it when he comes back."
"That's not the point!"
Langdon felt a familiar headache hit: "You...you can't be so casual about the resignation of the Royal Knights, shouldn't it be approved before it is established?"
Bridget thought for a while: "The teacher likes me very much, so he won't embarrass me!"
"Isn't this a bigger problem!!!"
Langdon felt that the air pressure was too low today, why did he have difficulty breathing?
If it's really a person who doesn't care, they might just agree to it as soon as the resignation letter is handed in, but if it's very favored, the head of the group even promised the parents to help find a student...
Langdon recalled the low-key and steady appearance of the head of the council during the meeting, and he fell into a long silence.
Bridget comforted Langdon: "Don't worry, if the teacher disagrees, I will find a way to persuade... and the Duke is a Duke, even if the teacher is unhappy, he will not do anything to the Duke."
"That's what I said..."
After all, he is the head of the Royal Knights, and his social status must not be counted as a knighthood... But there is no need to worry about it.
Langdon just felt a little tired right now.
I always feel that there seems to be no one around him who is really calm...
When Langdon was resting, the person who heard him complaining like this couldn't help but recommend himself: "Me! Did I get into trouble? I'm so calm! Brother, why do you want to look away? I'm not enough Are you obedient?"
Langdon sighed: "Just because you stop now doesn't mean you will stop in the future. Don't forget your identity as the son of prophecy. You will be the one who will be in trouble in the future. Don't gloat here, do you think I didn't see it?"
Lei Shidong withdrew his uncontrollable smile—it can't be helped, when he sees that others are unlucky but he is fine, he will always feel a little lucky.
"That's for me in the future. Now it's you who is in trouble, uncle. No matter how you look at it, you are more like the protagonist than me..."
Langdon frowned: "By the way, school is about to start, what are you going to do, go back to school with me?"
The corners of Lei Shidong's mouth twitched: "Yeah, what else? I found that my experience was useless at all, I just got injured, I didn't find any treasures, I didn't find any powerful weapons, and I didn't encounter any awesome ones." Grandpa... let’s follow the game’s plot, continue to study, and practice when the time comes.”
Although Langdon and Lei Shidong now agree that there is a problem with the game's plot, it seems that there is only a big deviation in the character design, and there are not many other temporary problems, so they can still use the game as a reference in many cases.
But Langdon couldn't help but said after hearing what Lei Shidong said: "But according to the game plot, you should have passed the assessment with a high score. Now you fail the grade and can only repeat the grade. I didn't persuade you to quit because you are the son of prophecy. ...When you are promoted to the third grade, you can go out to travel, what year and month will it be?"
Lei Shidong: "..."
Langdon patted him on the shoulder: "Leilei, I understand, I don't want to study anymore after I go to college, and my teacher also said all day long that you will be liberated if you go to college...but if you don't study now, the price you pay may be It's fate! This is really not a game, can you be more careful?"
Lei Shidong struggled: "My novel is serialized..."
"When you run out of manuscripts, it will be said that your return date is uncertain. Is life more important than novels?"
"Uncle, I can't learn..." Lei Shidong burst into tears.
Langdon said seriously: "You can have fun during the holidays, and I will give you extra lessons when you return to the imperial capital. As the son of prophecy, you should support me!"
Lei Shidong: "...I really don't want to be the son of prophecy anymore, I want to go home."
Speaking of this heavy topic, Langdon couldn't help but fall silent.
Lei Shidong asked cautiously: "Uncle, since you have reconciled with Flora, can you ask Flora how can God descend? I want to ask the god of this world, our time travel what is going on."
"...Actually, I asked Flora once before when she was extracting [Divine Blood], but Flora was not very clear about it, so I checked back... But don't hold out too much hope, if you can casually descend , it won’t appear until it is near the end, and God feels that he can’t do everything, otherwise how could he make the demons toss for so long.”
How should I put it, Langdon actually always finds the matter of divine descent to be very weird.
The mainland said that they believed in the only god, but the fact that the demons could not be driven away by life and death cast a shadow on the image of the omnipotence of the gods.
The words of the temple to explain this matter are that this is a test given by God to everyone, and everyone must be vigilant at all times balabala... only those who are selected can survive the catastrophe balabala...
Whether others believed it or not, Langdon didn't believe it anyway.
Although there was no demon god in the line he got through, after all, he often read the file directly when he saw that he was about to be, but judging from some text messages near be, the demon god probably really existed.
The statement of the temple, as well as the god who made the temple claim to be the only god, and the saint who is the god's descending vessel are a bit suspicious.
But from the current point of view, the descending of the gods is indeed a breakthrough point, so it is still necessary to ask.
Lei Shidong breathed a sigh of relief: "Then leave it to you."
"...Wait, why don't you ask." Langdon suddenly came back to his senses and asked suspiciously.
Lei Shidong scratched his hair: "Flora and I are not that familiar..."
Langdon was startled: "You guys have been teammates for so long, and even worked overtime together, but now you tell me that you're not familiar enough?"
Lei Shidong sighed: "Probably because of the familiarity of the classmates, there will be no more. Anyway, if I ask about the topic of divine descent, it will definitely be fruitless."
The fact that he helped Flora chase Langdon is not very good. If I insist, he gave Flora a lecture, but he made a mistake. As a result, the question with the highest score in the college entrance examination was the one he gave. This question...affects life, it's good that Flora didn't block him.
Langdon was heartbroken: "You can't go on like this, I have never seen a team of brave men who fight the devil so plastic! They may not even accept your invitation to travel! You are going to be!"
"...So, uncle, do you want to be together then?"
Langdon: "...?"
Lei Shidong Qi Ai Ai: "Yes, yes, together, you see, although they are not familiar with me... But, but aren't you very familiar with Uncle?"
Langdon looked at his eldest nephew expressionlessly.
Lei Shidong gradually lost his voice.
He actually thinks his proposal is pretty good. The hero, the uncle of the brave, and the harem of the hero's uncle, in terms of efficiency, should not be much different from the original version, and there are even a few more teammates that are not in the game. He doesn't mind. When a mascot...
Although his brother-in-law refused to admit that it was a harem, but a group of girls were all around him, it really looked like that, didn't it?
As for what seems to be a life-threatening situation... He thinks that my uncle can handle it.
It's a pity that my uncle obviously didn't think so. After being silent for a long time, he said forcefully, "You go."
"Hey." Lei Shidong stood up resolutely, "Let's go now, I wish you a happy birthday in advance! Have a good time!"
Langdon held his forehead.
Bridget poked her head in, "Duke, are you done talking? Your aunt is here!"
After all, tomorrow is Langdon's birthday party. Although it seems a little rude to be too early, it's like an autumn wind, but it will be late if it is later, and Langdon should be here almost today.
Langdon's main arrangement today is to chat with these relatives who came from afar. After all, there are more people at the birthday party, and the time everyone can allocate is less. Most of them were worried that they would not be able to get in the conversation if there were too many people. They thought that if they came early and came to visit, Langdon should be able to spare time to receive them.
