Chapter 118 (4K) You should understand the distinction between superiors and subordinates
. "Sister." Li Er was also very happy to see Ivian coming over.
"Sister?" Now it was Finn's turn to be confused. He looked at Avian, then at Li'er, stunned for a few seconds, then his eyes widened.
"You are Master Lear!" Finn exclaimed.
Seeing Finn's attitude, Lear raised an eyebrow. The other party didn't know him and it seemed that he was not pretending.
Lear originally thought that the knight who was looking for trouble was being instructed to arrest him, but the other party did not know him.
Is it that the person behind the scenes did not tell Finn his identity, or is Finn just a fool?
He thought for a few seconds, then smiled at Finn, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Li'l Stuart. Do you still want to arrest me now?"
"Arrest? What's going on?" Ivian frowned.
"It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding!" Finn quickly shook his head, looking at Ivian with a bad look, and his whole body trembled.
But Ivian didn't intend to let Finn go. She looked at the corpse on the ground and kept questioning him. After listening to Finn's whole story, Ivian became angry.
"How could something like this happen when you patrol the fortress every day? What if the explosion hurts someone?" she asked Finn.
Finn could only smile awkwardly, not daring to say anything back.
Seeing Finn so afraid of Avian, Lear showed a strange expression on his face. His sister seemed to be different in the Faro Fortress than in the Royal City? Avian glared at Finn, and then looked at Lear, "This matter must have nothing to do with Lear. He just returned to the fortress. Anyway, you'd better find out what's going on as soon as possible!"
"Lear, you too. Why didn't you tell the guards at the city gate when you arrived at the fortress? Now come home quickly with me. Your father and mother have been waiting for you for a long time!" She complained again.
Li Er nodded, "Let's go, sister, you and Greta come up."
Avian didn't hesitate and pulled Greta into the carriage. Lear glanced at Finn and drove away in the carriage.
Finn stood there, watching the carriage leave, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He shook his head helplessly and could only call the guard beside him to take the body away and clean up the scene.
The many vendors nearby looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing what Ivian had just said.
"What did Miss Avian just say?"
"That Mr. Lear is Miss Avian's brother? Why haven't I heard that Lord Albert has a son?"
"You don't know this, I think. I still remember Master Li Er, but that was more than ten years ago."
An elderly man stood up and said, "Master Li Er went to the royal city more than a decade ago and has not returned since then. It seems that he has been called back by Lord Albert now."
"What is Master Li Er doing in the royal city?" someone asked.
"I heard that he was learning magic." The old man answered uncertainly.
"Magic?" Everyone was stunned and had strange expressions on their faces.
…
Lear was unaware of the gossip behind the scenes.
He had already arrived at Stuart House in his carriage.
Compared to the Stuart Mansion in the royal city, the mansion in the Faro Fortress is obviously more magnificent and comparable to the royal palace in the royal city.
Looking at the magnificent building in front of him, Lear couldn't help but sigh again. It was no wonder that the players in his previous life said that Stuart's territory was a country within a country.
No matter how you look at it, this building is comparable to the royal palace.
Lear shook his head and stopped the carriage at the door.
The guards at the door were stunned when they saw the strange carriage, but they became respectful when they saw Avian getting off the carriage.
"Miss."
Avian nodded, ignored the guards, and walked into the building with Li Er.
"Lear, do you still remember our home?" Avian asked.
"Of course," Lear replied cheekily.
"Oh, really? Then do you know where your previous room was?" Avian continued to ask.
Lear was silent, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He had no idea what was going on.
Seeing that Lear didn't say anything, Ivian smiled and stopped teasing Lear. Instead, she took Lear to the living room.
Albert was leisurely drinking his morning tea, with a very beautiful woman sitting next to him.
When Lear looked at it carefully, he felt an extremely intimate feeling.
"Father! Look who's here!" Ivian said loudly.
Albert and the woman turned their heads and saw Lear, Miria and Ino approaching.
Albert raised his eyebrows, "You're back."
"I'm back, father." Lear nodded, then looked at the woman beside him.
The woman stood up when she saw Lear and stopped only when she was in front of Lear.
"You little bastard, you finally decided to come back!" the woman scolded with a smile, but her eyes gradually turned red.
Lear took a deep breath. This feeling of blood being thicker than blood made him feel a little overwhelmed. After a while, he said:
"I'm so sorry, Mom, I should have come back sooner."
Hearing Lear's address to her, the woman's body trembled slightly, and she finally couldn't help but shed tears.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." She said, reaching out and holding Li Er in her arms.
The hall fell silent, and no one disturbed the reunion between mother and son. But not long after, a voice came from behind.
"I heard that Brother Lear is back?" A young man in knight's armor walked in. He was handsome and looked much older than Lear.
Everyone was disturbed by the young man who suddenly broke in. When Avian heard what the young man said, her brows immediately raised, "Yasen, what are you talking about?"
"What's wrong?" The young man named Arsen shrugged innocently, "I just want to see my brother Lear."
Li Er turned his head and felt a strange breath. He glanced at the young man behind him, and then looked at Albert beside him. "I have never heard that I have a brother?"
"Oh, you don't know yet. My father was Uncle Albert's comrade-in-arms. After my father died, Uncle Albert adopted me. I have always regarded Uncle Albert as my godfather, so I say you are..." Yassen explained with a smile, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Albert.
"That's enough!" Albert said in a deep voice, "Yasen, you are Kag's son. Kag died because of me, so I adopted you."
"But whether it's you or Kag, you are both Stuart's retainers."
"Lear is my son and will be the future Duke of Stuart, and you will be Lear's knight squire."
"Yasen, I allow you to call me uncle when no one is around, but you should also understand the difference between the superior and the inferior!"
Albert said a lot in a row, and his tone was very stern. It was obvious that Yassen's rude words made him angry.
The atmosphere in the hall became a little heavy. Lear looked at his "brother" with a changeable expression and found it a little ridiculous.
Could it be that the person who sent people to assassinate me twice before was this kind of person?
At first he thought it was some powerful elder knight in the family, but just such a ignorant knight?
An adopted child was thinking of killing him, the legitimate Stuart heir, and then becoming the new Stuart heir?
If this is true, Lear has to admire the thinking of this "brother".
The world of "Law" is similar to the Middle Ages in the West. The nobles attach great importance to blood inheritance, and an outsider can never inherit the title.
Even if they rebelled and occupied the Faro Fortress, they would never be recognized by the kingdom. They would only become bandits who occupied the mountains and were attacked by all the nobles.
"Okay, Arsen, you should be more careful next time. You should leave first and don't come in and out of Stuart House casually." Albert ordered them to leave.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"I understand, Uncle Albert." Yasen smiled absentmindedly, then turned and left.
While waiting for Yassen to leave, Avian pouted and said, "What an arrogant guy!"
Albert also sat down, thinking it was just a minor incident.
Lear's mother Sophia looked at the two people behind Lear. When she saw Millia's iconic silver hair, her eyes lit up and asked, "Are you Philia's daughter?"
"Yes, ah... Auntie, I'm Milia." Milia nodded a little stiffly.
"I knew that Albert had made an engagement with Lear. Come and let me see." Sophia walked to Milia.
Lear looked at this scene, smiled, and came to Albert.
"Do you want to ask about Arsene?" Albert seemed to know what Lear was thinking and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes." Lear nodded.
"Come out with me." Albert sighed, then stood up and walked outside.
Lear followed, and the two of them left the hall together.
Sophia looked at the backs of the two people leaving without saying anything. She turned her head and said to Milia: "Milia, you must miss Filia too. I will take you to meet your mother."
As she said that, she pulled Milia and walked in another direction.
Only Ino and Avian were left in the hall. Looking at Ino who seemed a little left out, Avian smiled and said, "Ino, let me take you around!"
With that, she took Ino's hand and left the hall.
…
Outside the hall, Albert took Lear to the study and they sat down.
Albert was silent for a while, as if recalling the past, "Yasen is Kag's son, I have said it before."
"Kage was my former bodyguard. He died during a beast tide because he defended me from the attacks of the monsters. His last wish was for me to raise his child. I agreed. At that time, Yasen was already more than ten years old. You also left the Faro Fortress and went to the Royal City, so you didn't know."
"I began educating Yasen, hoping to train him to be as good a knight as his father. Yasen lived up to expectations and performed well in the Knights Templar. He is now close to a high rank."
"But I don't know since when, Yasen has been claiming to be my adopted son. I know all this, but I don't care. After all, his father died because of me."
"Arsen seems unwilling to be just an adopted son." Li Er smiled and said pointedly.
Albert was silent. Of course he knew about Arsen's little thoughts, but he just regarded them as the ignorant delusion of a junior.
"Father, did you know that I was assassinated on the way to Fort Faro?" Lear said suddenly.
"What?" Albert was stunned for a moment, then his expression became a little serious, "What happened?"
Li Er took out the frozen heads of the three people who assassinated him from the storage space.
"These are the three men. Do you know them, father?"
Albert looked at the face in the ice and suddenly his eyes widened, "Roberto!"
"Father, do you know him?"
"Of course I know him. He is Kag's brother, and he died several years ago." Albert looked incredulous.
"Is he Kage's brother, and Arsen's uncle?" Lear raised his eyebrows, finding it a little interesting.
And Albert said that this person had died a few years ago, but why is he alive and well now, and why did he assassinate him?
"Do you think it was Arsene who arranged Roberto to assassinate you?" After a brief shock, Albert suddenly understood what Lear meant.
"Obviously." Lear nodded.
Albert's eyes became sharp. He could tolerate Arsen's little thoughts and actions, but assassinating his son?
This is intolerable in any way.
Just like an emperor, I can tolerate your corruption and bribery, and tolerate your forming cliques, but if you dare to take action against the prince, you will only die.
"I'll ask Yasen about it." Albert said in a deep voice. What Yasen did had touched his bottom line.
"No need, father." Li Er shook his head, "Let me investigate this little thing myself."
"You come by yourself?"
"Yes." Lear smiled nonchalantly.
When he came into contact with Yasen just now, he felt a strange breath that did not belong to the laws of war, nor to gold and arcane.
That's heresy!
As an apostle of the law of blood, he easily smelled the scent of heresy on Yasen, and knew that heresy was involved.
As the public beta of the game approaches, various heretical laws begin to surface. What heretical laws did Yashen come into contact with? Lear became interested and shook his head. No matter what it was, he would fight back. Since Yashen wanted to do something to him, he would be exposed one day.
Instead, he was more interested in the mission given to him by the Lord of Blood. After completing the fourth ring of blood revival, he obtained the fifth ring mission.
Follow the guidance of the blood to find the Blood Dynasty in the old dream. The guidance was still there when he was in the royal city. The vague direction it pointed to was the direction of the Faro Fortress. But when Lear came to the Faro Fortress yesterday, the guidance of the blood suddenly disappeared.
Could it be related to the heretical law on Yassen? Lear fell into deep thought.
