Not long ago, he just witnessed Craig secretly framing Cesar.
Now that he knows that César is about to leave the Camelot Empire, Craig is probably too happy to contain himself.
Mrs. Ashley's eyes flickered, and she was about to say a few good words for her child.
At this time, her good son hastily pushed open the door of the study, his face a little panicked, "Father, father... I have something urgent to report..."
Grand Duke Oka immediately raised his head and frowned, "Craig, what are you talking about? You are so reckless. Is this what your etiquette teacher taught you?"
As a noble, the most basic manners and etiquette must not be lost under any circumstances, not to mention that Craig's name is followed by the surname "Pound".
Mrs. Ashley, who was standing by, immediately tried to smooth things over with a smile, and said softly, "Craig, you have always been a steady child. Why are you so anxious to see your father?"
As he spoke, he kept winking at his child, indicating that he should wait until later if he had anything to say, and not to get into trouble at this time.
Craig calmed down a little, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Father... Cesar is back."
Grand Duke Oka was slightly startled, then waved his hand and said, "I understand, you can leave first."
After saying that, he picked up the health tea beside him, but seeing his child still standing in the study, Grand Duke Oka couldn't help but frowned: "Is there anything else?"
Craig hesitated and whispered, "...Pandora is here too."
Snapped!
Duke Oka's fingers trembled, and the red teacup smashed on the floor, spilling tea on the red robe that symbolized great nobility. However, he seemed not to notice it, and his eyes widened as he looked at his child in astonishment.
"Pan, Pandora...?"
Although we know that Pandora will marry her own child this time, it is too sudden.
According to the original intelligence, after Pandora arrived in the empire, wouldn't she go to the palace first to discuss the many matters after the marriage?
Why did you suddenly come to meet the parents first? !
After a brief moment of indifference, Grand Duke Oka quickly reacted, "Send someone to watch the tea reception first. Oh, by the way... where is Xizel now?"
What was going on with this kid, Cecil? Why did he bring Pandora to Pound Manor without saying a word?
"He's in the living room with Pandora now..." Craig said cautiously.
Grand Duke Oka pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered, "Take me there."
When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something and continued:
"Let Milice come over as well."
……
In the living room.
Grand Duke Oka was already extremely busy, but at this moment Pandora was sitting leisurely on the soft sofa, her eyes casually scanning the expensive murals around the hall.
Then, she quickly cast her gaze on the young man beside her, and said in a worried tone: "Will your father hate me when he sees me later?"
I don't know if they are annoying or not, but the psychological pressure must be very great... Xizel smiled and said, "No, my parents are very nice people."
"That's good. If they hated me, I really don't know what I would do."
As she spoke, Pandora looked at her boyfriend tenderly like a playful girl, with a hint of apology in her tone: "Sorry, it was my mistake this time... I won't let you get hurt again in the future."
Xizel shook his head and smiled: "The marriage will definitely attract a lot of attention. This is inevitable. I don't blame you."
Given Pandora's attitude towards the goddess of fate, if she knew that César had met the goddess in the clock tower not long ago and had a good chat with her... it's hard to say whether she would turn evil on the spot.
It would be better to skip this dangerous topic as soon as possible... Cesar calmly poured a cup of tea for Pandora and was about to say something.
At this time, the maid at the door walked into the living room and bowed respectfully.
"Master, the Grand Duke and your mother are here."

Camelot Palace.
Yves sat in front of the throne, looking unhappy.
It's no wonder that, with the marriage imminent, Xizel was attacked in the clock tower, and she and Grand Master Lani were both in the clock tower at the time.
This is simply a slap in the face.
"Have you investigated the other forces that have infiltrated the Royal City recently?"
Yves' voice was calm, but those who knew this empress well knew the anger hidden in her words.
Shirley stood aside respectfully and whispered, "People from the Nine Lights Empire, the Kabbalah Empire, the Blood Clan, and the Church of the Evernight Goddess have all sneaked into the royal city, but someone was secretly monitoring them before they entered the city. I think it was not them who attacked Master Xizel today."
Yves sneered, "That being said, I don't think anyone among these forces would like to see Camelot and the Land of Gray Mist form an alliance."
Shirley lowered her head and remained silent.
In fact, it is not only these forces that do not want to see the alliance between Camelot and the Land of Gray Mist, the most important thing is... Pandora's existence itself is too dangerous.
In this world, the only one who can destroy the world is Pandora.
As long as Pandora is alive, countries will never be able to feel at peace.
"Your Majesty..." Shirley seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Yi Weier glanced at the secretary and said softly, "You have followed me for so many years. There are no outsiders here. Just say whatever you want to say."
Shirley hesitated, and finally whispered: "I wonder if I should make up my mind...?"
She knew about Yves's recent hesitation, and although she kept comforting herself, in fact, if she really had to watch Xizel "marry" Pandora, the empress would still feel a little complicated.
However, only when the marriage is successfully concluded and Camelot and the Land of Grey Mist formally form an alliance, will the other forces give up some of their ideas.
Yves didn't say anything, but frowned inadvertently.
She tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, as if she was thinking about something.
After a while, the empress seemed to have made up her mind and nodded silently.
"That's fine..."
Shirley was right. There were too many people secretly watching Xizel now. It would be a big problem if things dragged on like this...
At least we have to let Xizel go back with the Grey Mist Land first, so that people outside can "see" the successful conclusion of this marriage.
This is also to fulfill César's wish.
After all, the real reason why César didn't reject Pandora was not because he liked her, but to teach Pandora what "love" is.
"Let's prepare early tomorrow."
After a long silence, Yves finally broke it and said, "I need to go to the Clock Tower early to meet the Grand Master."
……
Pound Manor.
At this moment, there was an eerie silence in the living room.
Grand Duke Oka and his wife Milis sat on the sofa opposite, looking at their children and the witch who seemed to be their daughter-in-law in the future.
If it were before, Grand Duke Oka would never have thought that one day he would see his own child marry Pandora.
however……
Many things that have happened recently have forced him to face this reality.
Pandora opened her red lips and said softly, "Father, I think you have received all the gifts today, right?"
As the Grand Duke of the Empire, the former Grand Duke Oka had naturally witnessed all kinds of grand scenes.
However, Pandora's word "father" still shocked Grand Duke Oka, and his thoughts became a mess at this moment.
Fortunately, his good mentality still allowed him to remain calm, and he smiled and said, "I received the gift. I feel a little embarrassed to give such a valuable thing..."
The frail silver-haired beauty said in a gentle tone: "Don't mind. After all, we are a family from now on, and a meeting gift is only natural."
She even used the honorific "you", and with her ladylike sitting posture, she looked like a well-behaved, obedient and sensible daughter-in-law.
However, this attitude made Grand Duke Oka's expression even more strange, and the look in his eyes when he looked at his own children was also full of weirdness.
Before this, he once thought that Pandora's marriage should have a real purpose.
However, the attitude displayed by this witch lady at this moment is really puzzling.
It was as if he was really trying to "please" his future father.
But no matter what, Grand Duke Oka couldn't show any expression at the moment and could only maintain a friendly smile.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, he ended the topic at the right time:
"It's late today, and I have some documents to deal with later. You should have a good rest first."
As he spoke, he looked at the older boy who had remained silent, and said earnestly:
"Cesare, Miss Pandora is a distinguished guest. If she has any requests, please try your best to meet them and treat her well."
This was almost like saying '跁∑」⒌≠⑺璐∈∈六.糁≌…4∮*4佴岳Fei Qun‰: You can sacrifice yourself if necessary'.
César's mother, Miris, never spoke a word from beginning to end, but from her expression it was not difficult to see the complex feelings of this lady at the moment.
Seeing his father leaving with Milice's hand, Xizel couldn't help but look at Pandora next to him strangely.
The witch held her cheek with her hand, looking back at Xizel with a smile, and said, "It seems that your parents are easy to get along with. I thought they would oppose the marriage at first."
Under the current circumstances, unless they are from other countries, who would stand up to oppose the marriage... Xizel sighed helplessly and said, "You have also met my parents. Isn't it time to go back?"
"go back……?"
Pandora tilted her head slightly, looked at the boy in confusion, and blinked her beautiful red eyes: "It's so late, are you sure I can go back alone?"
"It's very dangerous for a girl to walk alone at night."
Xizel's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
If an ordinary person said this, it would indeed make men want to protect her. However, when these words came out of the mouth of a world-destroying witch... it would just make people feel that the style of the story seemed a bit out of place.
But he couldn't ask Pandora to leave now, so he just nodded and said, "I'll have someone arrange something for you later. You can rest in the guest room tonight..."
"Can you stay with me for a while?" Pandora suddenly asked.
She looked straight at César, and this time she didn't use any threats or pitiful methods, and her tone seemed to become much more serious.
"It's almost twelve o'clock now. I should rest."
As it was already late at night, César politely declined directly.
He thought Pandora would stare at him in a threatening way like before, but within a few seconds after she finished speaking, Cesar felt that the living room was extremely quiet: there was not a single sound.
"Come on, I'll take you to the guest room."
Xizel pretended not to notice, and after he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the living room, while Pandora followed silently behind him.
But he didn't say a word along the way.
The two of them walked through a path in silence and came to a secluded garden.
"I'll go back first." Xizel turned around and was about to leave, but after taking a few steps, there was still no movement behind him.
The night was hazy, and a soft glow poured down from the sky. Pandora stood alone in the blooming garden, her silver hair flying. She looked cool and beautiful, yet a little lonely.
At a certain moment, the pattern on her chest that symbolized "fate" faintly emitted a faint glow.
Just such a simple picture and text made this powerful witch frown slightly.
Xizel was slightly startled, and then he quickly understood something.
What a trouble... He couldn't help but sigh in his heart and turned back.
As if she had noticed the boy's footsteps, Pandora's somewhat unnatural expression quickly disappeared.
She raised her head with hopeful eyes, her red lips slightly opened, as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
"You are the God of Sequence... Can't you do whatever you want?" Xizel couldn't help but say.
"I don't want to get everything by threatening, and... I'm not as powerful as you think."
A 'god-level' witch who controls the power of devouring said that she is not that powerful... There are so many flaws that Xizel didn't know where to start complaining.
