"I hope you still remember that the current situation is quite special."
Langdon warned: "The appearance of the Son of Prophecy means that the Demon King has successfully reincarnated, and the Demon Race may launch an attack at any time. At this time, no matter what you do, it is best not to do too much, and don't let the Demon Race come. , clean up the internal consumption first.”
Bellatrix's excitement just now seemed to have been poured with cold water, and her enthusiasm faded away.
"You still worry about this kind of thing at this time, you are a real saint, are you trying to persuade me not to do anything?"
Langdon was already immune to this sarcasm: "I can't control what you want to do, but after all, I still want to live well. The mess you made here may affect me. I just want to treat myself responsible for his life.”
"……Humph."
Bellatrix didn't know if she accepted this explanation, but she looked at Langdon with complicated eyes: "Forget it, you are this kind of person, so for now, I'll just watch the excitement for the time being."
"..."
Langdon barely swallowed the words, as if he had changed his mind because of me: "Okay, let's tell the story, and I'm going to rest after I'm done."
He doesn't really believe that this person can hold back and just watch the fun, but he has said everything he should say, and he can't take care of other people's affairs, so he can only let the people below pay more attention to the situation...
However, before the royal infighting became so intense that the details could be found out, the fact that the Heka Empire's mission finally arrived in the imperial capital became a hot topic in the streets and alleys.
The headlines of the newspaper also published relevant information, and by the way, a popular science was given about the appearance of a demon clan in the mission of the Heka Empire, which added a spoonful of oil to the hot discussion.
People who had never seen a demon were very interested in capturing a demon alive, and even Langdon became a magical image in everyone's minds.
The good news is that this has completely erased Langdon's previous bad reputation in the imperial capital, and now everyone mentions him as "the duke who caught the demons".
The bad news is...
Many people, even his subordinates, had weird expressions when they drank the tea or wine he provided, as if they had a little resistance, a little doubt, and a little self-comfort of "it shouldn't be".
Langdon didn't really want to know how far the reputation of his delusion of being persecuted has spread... In other words, since he has gained something, it can't be called delusion, it should be called prudence, right? !Can't these people say something nice?
When he went to the temple, a bishop who was still familiar with him was also a little bit weird.
"Isn't this the Duke of Stuart? I've heard that it's really a big deal. Our temple has never done such a large-scale blood test... Although Her Majesty the Holy Maiden is your childhood sweetheart, she has also done something that I'm sorry for you." It’s a big deal, but isn’t it a little too much to take so much blood in one breath?”
Langdon blushed.
Of course, he told Flora that there is no need to force it, it is almost enough, and the amount of one or two small medicine bottles in hand is not very shocking. People couldn't help mentioning a few words to him, and he realized how reluctant Flora was to herself.
As for how the temple knew... the demons can be detected even after diluting so much. After a little calculation, the temple will understand.
In addition, it was heard that the saint was recovering from a serious injury for Duke Stuart, and everyone in the temple was heartbroken—this saint really wanted to be tied to Duke Stuart, and the other nobles had no chance at all. ?
The mission saints in the temple are not so active. It is the turn of others to work so hard, and the temple feels very unbalanced.
Fortunately, Flora's people came quickly, and quickly rescued Langdon from the bishop's scalp-numbing greetings, and sent him to Flora's room.
Today was the first time Langdon set foot in Flora's room after the previous breakup.
The moment he walked in, Langdon was in a daze.
He can't get into the bedroom, but the living room, which is equivalent to a facade, is enough to get a glimpse of the leopard.
Compared with before, the current living room is very simple, it looks like the standard furniture provided by the temple. In this era, the pure wood is worthless, and there are almost no carvings and decorations. Only the pillows on the sofa are interesting.
Generally speaking, the greetings before getting to the point would focus on the weather or nearby materials, such as boasting about the decoration of the host's house, and now Langdon was not so good at opening his mouth.
The reason why Flora's living room style changed drastically was that she returned all the things he gave him, but when she got to the bottom of why she had to return him, it involved the matter of Flora's cooing before.
Now that he had forgiven her, it seemed odd to bring it up.
Flora served Langdon tea herself, and she probably knew what Langdon was thinking. Her movements were a little stiff, but when she saw Langdon looking at the pillow, Flora hesitated and explained, "I sewed that pillowcase myself. It's been a long time since I've done needlework, and it's a little rough."
"...It's nothing, it's pretty good-looking." Langdon could only praise with all his might, "You used to be very good at this."
A shy yet joyful smile bloomed on Flora's pretty face: "Well, because back then I—"
She stuck.
...I really want to knit a scarf, wristbands and other small things for Langdon himself.
Seeing something of herself in Langdon would give her a sense of happiness and satisfaction.
But even if Langdon wanted to let her self-made things appear on Langdon, the nanny in charge of taking care of him was her own mother. Langdon's contemptuous tutor would use this to point out, maybe even Go and advise the Duke and Duchess to keep her away from Langdon.
Therefore, Flora had to work hard to make her skills surpass the average, so that the governess could not tell at a glance whether it was a domestic tailor or she made it.
Therefore, apart from the fact that the work that he just learned was a bit rough, what Langdon saw later was that Flora thought it was perfect and dared to send it out. Naturally, he would only leave "Flora is very good at sewing" impression.
This was something that the former Flora would never let Langdon know.
She had even been reluctant to admit that she learned to sew specifically for Langdon because she didn't like gossip.
But, now...
Flora hesitated for a moment, squeezed her fingertips to relieve the tension, and said in a low voice with erratic eyes: "... Back then, I practiced very hard to give you a birthday present."
Langdon wasn't very surprised. Flora herself refused to admit it, but the nanny still mentioned it, so she nodded calmly now: "Well, thank you, and the hairband I gave you this year is very good."
Flora's heart was pounding, and she stammered a bit: "You, as long as you like it!"
Although, although Langdon's reaction was very flat, it seemed that it was not that difficult to admit his true thoughts, and Langdon would not think too much about her thinking that she had some ulterior motives to despise her...
But!But her thoughts have changed from when she was a child!I always feel a little reconciled, but Langdon should think more!
Regrettably, Langdon only had a face that looked flirtatious and affectionate, but he was a straight man thinking in his heart, and he couldn't get the little girl's thoughts at all. He felt that the pleasantries were almost done, so he went straight to the topic.
"So, do you have a clue about the therapist you found for Helena?"

Langdon also didn't want to be surrounded by a mental patient all day long, but he was not a doctor, and all he could do was try to find someone who could treat him.
It is more convenient for the temple to do this kind of thing, so Langdon entrusted Flora to do this, and this is why he came this time.
But Flora didn't work so hard for Helena, she did it for Langdon.
If it wasn't for the fact that the temple was too busy with the demons and she couldn't get away, she could have gone to Langdon's house, and if she found an excuse to cook for Langdon, she could have stayed longer. ...but now Langdon can only come over, and Langdon will definitely not stay here for long.
Originally, Langdon was ready to leave after sitting down for a while, but before he even had a word, Langdon asked about Helena directly...
Flora couldn't help thinking in her heart, could it be that this is the legendary crying child who gets candy?
Langdon paid more attention to Helena because of Helena's continued illness?
No, you can’t think like this. Although Langdon is soft-hearted, he still has a bottom line. If Helena continues like this, Langdon’s patience will be exhausted sooner or later. She also has to treat Helena ruthlessly, so she doesn't have to be jealous of Helena, just do what she should do.
After convincing herself, Flora calmed down a lot, and said as Langdon wanted.
"Hmm... There are still too few mages with dark attributes, and only four have been found so far."
Flora took some papers from one side.
"And I don't know if it's to avoid suspicion or what. Most of them don't major in dark attributes. The school's dark attribute tutors go out and travel for several years and haven't come back. They can't be contacted for a while. Even if they do, they may not be willing to come to treat Hai. Lianna... But there is someone who doesn't need to delve into it deeply, the blood magic itself is the spiritual system, maybe it can play a role."
Hearing this, a name already appeared in Langdon's mind.
It can't be such a coincidence... But think about the probability that the blood magic is awakened, and it happens to be the spirit system...
Sure enough, Flora said the name in the next second: "Siruneta Melotti, this year's freshman, Duke Melotti's..."
"I know her." Langdon interrupted Flora's introduction, "I met her at school before."
Flora was taken aback: "Then you haven't considered inviting her to treat Helena directly?"
"No. She herself has been tortured by blood magic, can she really control her abilities? Besides, she is here to go to school, and the first grade is also very heavy..."
When they first met Siluneta, Langdon was too impressed with how weak and delicate she was. Langdon subconsciously didn't want to put new pressure on her, always feeling that she would faint in the next second.
Flora has never met Cyrunita, and only has the information in hand. After hearing what Langdon said, she hesitated: "Is that so? But the level of other people is just like that..."
Langdon flipped through the pages of information, but also fell into hesitation.
The level of other people is another matter. The key point is that the gender is male. Helena is always on the defensive, and she needs to trust the doctor for mental treatment. He always feels that the gender has left him no other choice...
But Siruneta's status is noble enough, she won't accept such a commission just because of money, and her health is so poor, he doesn't know if it would be rude to come to ask such a thing...
Flora also knew Langdon's entanglement, and said considerately, "I'll continue to look for people. You should think about these people slowly."
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Langdon sighed, folded the papers, and put them in his pocket.
"By the way, has there been any progress regarding the Duchess?" Flora asked, "If you need treatment, knowing more about the Duchess may be useful for treatment."
When Langdon heard this topic, he couldn't help pinching his brows: "Ah... there is progress."
This is the progress, it is not convenient to tell others.
What is family ugliness that should not be publicized? Before Helena went crazy, he didn't have this kind of experience, but now he finally understands.
After he returned to the imperial capital, he immediately found an opportunity to ask the old housekeeper who had married all the way from his mother's natal family about his mother's spiritual aspects.
The old butler was already old, and hearing him ask such targeted questions, he seemed to be several years older in an instant.
"Why did you suddenly pay attention to this...did you find something?"
Langdon had nothing to hide from the old housekeeper who devoted himself to serving him after his mother died: "Helena's mental state is not right, and I suspect it has something to do with my mother."
The old butler sighed deeply: "I see...it's really hard to say that it has nothing to do with it."
Langdon also sighed, "So you knew about it a long time ago, but you kept it from me? It made me think that Helena suddenly went crazy because of the characteristics of blood magic..."
"...Yes, I am very sorry." The old butler who has always been dedicated to his duties bowed deeply to Langdon and apologized, "If you want to punish me, I have no objection."
"No, at this time, you should tell your reasons!"
Langdon couldn't help complaining, "You're even more irresponsible now, okay? Explain to me clearly."
The old butler hesitated for a moment and gave his reasons.
"I just hope that the young master... no, I hope that the Duke can leave a good impression on the madam."
Although he is now working for the Stuart family, it is because the young lady he serves married into the Stuart family, and he identifies himself more as a member of the Patrick family.
Therefore, he used to hide some things for the lady that he didn't want his parents to know, and after he came to the Stuart family, he would continue to do his best for his wife.
Madam has been in poor health since she was a child, and she couldn't play as wantonly as other brothers and sisters, which made her character a little distorted, but the old housekeeper felt that it was not Madam's fault, she couldn't bounce around like a healthy person, and her mentality was out of balance is too normal up.
After growing up, my health improved a lot, and my wife gradually became cheerful.
The old duke fell in love with his wife at first sight. After marrying his wife, he had a pretty sweet time, but the good times didn't last long. The two had disagreements and quarreled many times, but the lady became pregnant at this moment.
From the very beginning, Madam didn't want to have a child, but if Madam refused to have a baby, the old Duke would find someone else to have a baby, and her family also came to persuade Madam not to be self-willed, so Langdon could be born normally.
However, Madam's body, which seemed to be not very different from that of ordinary people, after this birth, her condition deteriorated rapidly, which also affected her mental state.
She hated her children, and thought that without Langdon, she would have been spared what happened, would have been healthier, and lived longer.
The old housekeeper who found out about this matter was very worried about his little master. Fortunately, his wife would pretend to be in front of Langdon. Langdon didn't have a deep impression of his mother, but it was okay, so from the perspective of the Patrick family Well, the old butler certainly didn't want Langdon to know the truth.
"……Knew it."
Langdon sighed with a complicated expression.
When he was a child, he liked his mother very much, and he once wanted to be loved by his mother... Adults always think that children don't understand anything, but in fact, children are the most sensitive.
But after all, his mother died early, and his memory was a little fuzzy when he was too young. Now that he has recovered the memory of his previous life, it always feels very far away when he thinks back. Langdon is not very sure about his guess.
It wasn't until the old housekeeper told the truth that the conjecture that "mother might not like me" finally came to fruition.
At this time, I have to thank the noble family. His mother loves him and has little influence on him. If a commoner family has a small house and sees his mother who hates him every day, he probably won't be able to act for too long. , there is no telling what will happen.
But it's not without effect.
Langdon suddenly remembered something: "I've always thought my tutors were annoying and didn't get along with me. No matter how good the studies are taught by them, the personality will be bad...Could it be that my mother deliberately picked people like this?"
The old butler nodded heavily: "Yes, madam wants to take revenge on you and the Stuart family."
Langdon: "...Let me ask, is there any feud between the Patrick family and the Stuart family?"
The old housekeeper was surprised: "Of course not, why do you ask such a question?"
Langdon raised his forehead: "Ah, how should I put it? I just feel that if there is hatred, this development is more reasonable. If you hate a family, you will raise your daughter and marry the other party..."
But he can be considered to know why the yellow hair in the original game is the kind of well-educated dude, it turned out to be his mother's fault!
I have to pretend to be a good mother, I still have to teach what I should teach, and I can't help but want to make people into a dandy, and I ended up like that.
Thanks to the fact that although he didn't recover his memory before, he subconsciously resisted this kind of feudal education, so he didn't become the same as the original yellow hair!Otherwise, when the memory is restored, I am afraid it will be irretrievable...
"But does my father really care nothing?"
