After all, who would have nothing to do and take a carriage to the royal city at almost dinner time?
You know, it takes nearly an hour to take a carriage from Pound Manor to the Royal City.
Could it be that the old trouble is just for the sake of relaxing?
Although he was thinking about it, Craig reacted quickly and explained hastily: "Father, the person who sent me the letter must have made a mistake. I thought it was my brother..."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xizel, I misunderstood you, but I was also worried about your safety..."
Duke Oka snorted coldly and said calmly: "It has only been a short time since Xizel left the manor. Not only did you get the news that he went to the palace, but you also sent this news to me in the first place."
"Craig, the people in this manor really believe in you."
Upon hearing this, Craig's face changed slightly and he said, "Father..."
Duke Oka waved his hand, signaling Craig to be quiet for the time being.
He turned his gaze to Xizel and said, "Xizel, so you took the carriage to the royal city today just to relax?"
Although Craig's information was false, the reason why Duke Oka hurried back to the manor at first was that he was a little worried about César.
This youngest son of his family has been extremely spoiled by the family in the past, and as a result, he has a rather arrogant personality and is the type who will not wait until tomorrow to take revenge.
This time, Xizel did not go to the palace, but next time... no one can guarantee whether he will do something.
In the past, no matter what César did, Pound Manor would always cover for him.
But this time, it's completely different.
If you anger that majesty, even the most famous Grand Duke in the empire will find it difficult to cover up the consequences.
Xizel nodded again to confirm, and said, "I was just taking a walk and meeting a few friends."
Upon hearing the word "friend", Duke Oka's brows inadvertently frowned.
Then he said earnestly, "Xizel, you are now engaged. You should temporarily cut off ties with your friends who used to have a close relationship with you, so as to avoid any bad rumors that would affect your reputation with the Third Princess."
Having said that, the engagement to her own child has probably affected the reputation of the Third Princess.
Duke Oka was well aware of his child's reputation in the royal city, otherwise he would not have planned to train Craig as the future heir to Pound Manor.
Unlike usual, this time when hearing this, Xizel nodded very obediently: "I understand, I won't go there again."
Duke Oka nodded slowly.
After looking at Xizel for a few times, he suddenly seemed to sense something and asked, "Why does your aura feel different from before?"
Before this, Xizel gave people the impression of being weak and frail, as if he would fall down with a slight breeze.
However, at this moment...from Xizel, he could no longer sense the same fragility as before, but instead felt a restrained aura.
Xizel shook his head gently and said, "I don't know why, but a magical thing happened on the way back just now. After that, I felt that my body seemed to be much stronger than before."
Duke Oka's eyes moved slightly and he asked, "What's the matter?"
"There was a voice echoing in my mind. It sounded like a very gentle female voice... After that, I felt that all the fatigue in my body seemed to be completely swept away by that voice." Xizel said.
A voice... ?
These words made everyone present stunned for a moment.
Craig looked at his brother with some doubt. In the past, everything Caesar did had traces to follow, but for some reason, Caesar tonight made him completely confused.
I am possessed by evil spirits. I am not sure if I will be exposed. I will pay for the monthly fee of group 4: ≡—complete?
Cesar's biological mother, Miris, looked at her child and said gently, "Cesar, can you tell me specifically what changes happened to your body after that voice?"
Xizel groaned and said, "I'm not sure either, but I just found that my body is very light."
"And then this thing appeared on my body..."
Xizel stretched out his hand, and in the dim night, an extremely soft star map quietly bloomed from under Xizel's feet, and soon formed a light shield that enveloped him.
Craig's expression changed slightly: "Supernatural power?!"
César's biological mother, Lady Miris, was so shocked that she covered her mouth, seeming a little bit unbelievable.
Duke Oka also looked somewhat stunned and shocked. Obviously, he did not expect that his child would become a transcendent.
"Goddess of Destiny bless you..." Soon, Milis came to her senses and clasped her hands in front of her chest, praying devoutly for her child.
Duke Oka quickly came to his senses and said to himself, "Could it be the favor of the goddess of fate..."
He knew very well what kind of people César had done in the past.
Usually, persistent training is required before awakening extraordinary powers. However, Xizel did not conduct systematic training every day.
It stands to reason that it is impossible to awaken extraordinary powers.
The only possibility is that... the goddess of fate favored him and granted him the power of "Sequence·Destiny".
Xizel still looked confused, and said: "I don't know either. I took a nap when I came back, and when I woke up, I found that I had become a transcendent."
Isabella couldn't help but look at César with disdain after hearing this, but she didn't expose him, and kept silent.
At this time, Duke Oka finally recovered from his shock and laughed heartily: "Good, very good... I didn't expect that my Pound family would awaken two extraordinary people in such a short period of time. Xizel, what reward do you want?"
Xizel shook his head gently and said, "No need for rewards, but I have something to say about my engagement with the Third Princess..."
These words made the smile on Duke Oka's face fade a little.
Craig, who was still in shock, seemed to realize what César wanted to say, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Milis's expression tightened, and she tried hard to signal with her eyes that César should stop talking nonsense.
Duke Oka is finally in such a good mood. If he mentions words like breaking off the engagement now... you can imagine what unpleasant things will happen.
"What do you want to say?" asked Duke Oka.
Under the gazes of several people, Xizel bowed his head respectfully.
"I would like to ask you, father, to be the witness of my marriage with the Third Princess, and to witness your child entering the marriage hall with your own eyes."
The evening breeze blew by, bringing a slight chill, and made the people present a little dazed.
Even Isabella looked at César in surprise.
For a moment, she even wondered if Cesar was out of his mind.
Does he want to listen to what he just said?
How come the young master is already researching who the witness is after just getting engaged?
And... doesn't he hate this marriage?
"Cesare, don't you hate this marriage?" Craig smiled reluctantly.
In order to promote this engagement, he put in a lot of effort this time, just waiting for the usually unruly Cesare to break off the engagement or even run away.
But now... the other party suddenly lay down?
Xizel shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's not that I hate you. After all, I heard that the Third Princess is also a very beautiful girl... and the one who granted the marriage was Her Majesty the Queen. If I cancel the engagement, it will also make my father upset, right?"
Is this still my son... After a brief moment of shock, Duke Oka's eyes quickly softened and he said, "Cesare, although there is no room for maneuver in this matter, I will make it up to you in other ways."
Xizel shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "You don't have to feel guilty. I don't hate this marriage."
"After the wedding, we and the Third Princess will be a family."
The meaning of family is helping each other.
If a giant like the Pound Family were to side with the Third Princess, those nobles who were originally wavering would probably have to think carefully.
Hearing this, Craig couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and quickly interrupted with a smile: "The Third Princess is the descendant of a witch, and she has similar features, silver hair and red eyes. It's not appropriate to help her..."
Xizel smiled and shook his head and said, "Brother Craig, I don't agree with this."
"Legends are just legends after all. If the Third Princess was really the descendant of the witch, our Queen would have come forward to deal with it long ago, right?"
Miris held her husband's arm, assisted him at the right time, and said softly, "I think what Xizel said is right. The Third Princess has always been alone, and there are not many forces supporting her. But under such circumstances, she can still be on par with the Sixth Princess. This is enough to prove her ability."
Duke Oka looked at César, somewhat thoughtful.
Although the Pound family has never taken sides, this does not mean that Duke Oka has no interest in political status.
However, he would not take sides casually until he was sure who had more "kingly qualities".
But what Xizel said today reminded him.
Originally, Xizel gave people the impression of being a "good-for-nothing young master" in the royal city, but now he has awakened extraordinary powers, and will soon be a special admission to the Clock Tower.
If Xizel entered the clock tower, this news would only take a little effort to make it known to everyone in the royal city.
In this way, the reputation of the Third Princess will not be affected, but her political status will be enhanced.
After all, Cesar was his, Oka Pound's, child.
But because there were many interests involved, Duke Oka did not show any intention at the moment. He just patted Xizel on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go in and have dinner first. I will celebrate for you in two days."
Xizel bowed his head slightly: "Thank you, father."
A criticism and denunciation meeting that was supposed to take place ended silently. As it was getting late, Duke Oka quickly ordered everyone to return to the manor and prepared a sumptuous meal.
After having a full meal and drinking, Cesar said goodbye to his parents and returned to his room alone.
Walking to the windowsill, he sat at the desk by the window and lit a desk lamp with a transparent glass cover.
The warm light illuminated the steaming coffee and tiramisu on the side, which were the after-meal desserts he had asked someone to prepare not long ago.
Admiring the night view of the garden outside the window, César suddenly asked, "Isabella, do you want to eat?"
In the room, Isabella walked out from the shadows and took the cake in silence.
Seeing this, Xizel couldn't help but laugh and said, "You really like desserts."
Isabella glanced at the boy calmly and said, "After all, it is a dessert specially made by the palace. You have never been interested in desserts. It would be a waste if you don't eat it."
She's quite arrogant... Xizel saw through it but didn't say anything. He nodded seriously and said, "So please help me eat it."
Isabella stopped talking and just silently enjoyed the high-end dessert in César's room. Her cold and beautiful face seemed to melt in the heat of the tiramisu, revealing an expression full of happiness.
After tasting the cake and coffee, Isabella noticed that César was looking at her quietly. She wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed lightly, and said, "Are you really going to marry the Third Princess?"
Knowing that she was trying to change the subject, Xizel did not expose her and said with a smile: "How is that possible? I don't even know what the Third Princess looks like, and I have no interest in her."
"But I said it."
Xizel slowly extended his fingertips, and an extremely complex star map quietly emerged.
He looked at Isabella's cool profile and smiled, "I have to make those who are pushing for the marriage a little bit upset."
8 Judging from the current situation, this goal has been achieved.
5 Then next, it’s time to meet your fiancée.
sad……
Sneak into Camelot City.
6. Cicadas chirped on a summer night. The royal palace was shrouded in a hazy moonlight late at night. The soft moonlight sprinkled on a terrace, reflecting the woman's gorgeous and noble face.
Sanyvir reached out and lit a candle on the table, admiring the star-studded plain outside the terrace.
On Si's desk was an intelligence document that Shirley had handed over to him not long ago.
④The above is a list of people who awakened supernatural powers within this week.
One of the names was highlighted in red.
Yves gently stroked the name with her fingertips, with a hint of smile in her light golden eyes.
"interesting."
Shirley, the bespectacled lady who often accompanies Her Majesty, held a stack of documents in her arms and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, do you need to investigate César's life?"
Ivril groaned and said, "Let's investigate a little."
A dandy young master who has been obsessed with beauty for many years and is avoided by everyone in the royal city, suddenly awakens extraordinary powers overnight... It's strange no matter how you think about it.
“Once the news that Xizel has become a superhuman gets out, many people will not be able to sleep well tonight, right?” Yves chuckled.
Originally, those people were planning to find a burden for the Third Princess, but this burden suddenly turned out to be an unprecedented helper for the Third Princess.
If it were just Xizel alone, it wouldn't be a huge help.
But behind Caesar is the Pound family.
After tonight, Xizel, who has awakened extraordinary powers, will definitely be valued by Duke Oka.
