Chapter 150: Chapter 148: Danger and Opportunity (900 monthly tickets plus additional content last month)
Maybe in the lady's heart, power is far more important than family affection!
Or, in her opinion, securing the title and territory of the Raymond family for Roy was the best thing she could give him.
So, from the moment they met, the ladies wanted to take him back to the Norman Duchy and put him in that position.
But what she thought was never what Luo Yi thought!
The title of a thousand-year-old noble...
Such a large earldom...
Is this a big temptation?
For many people, this may be an opportunity that they can only encounter once and they have to try their best to seize it.
It’s not that Luo Yi doesn’t care, but he is willing to live according to his own ideas. He is willing to arm himself and make himself stronger.
However, he never wanted others to make decisions for him.
Even his biological mother in this body can't do that!
So, although he didn't care about family affection, Luo Yi used the simplest method to leave the lady speechless.
If you talk to me about interests, then I will talk to you about feelings!
Facing Luo Yi's expectant gaze, the lady's mind was completely confused.
No matter who it is, everyone will describe her as decisive and ruthless. A woman who can sit firmly on the position of Grand Duke must have some means.
But when facing her own son, a woman is a woman, and she cannot get rid of that slightly guilty mentality.
After a long while, she finally said, "Actually, I did go to see you. When you were very young, I would secretly go to see you."
"But, you know, not recognizing you and not letting the outside world know about our relationship is the greatest protection for you."
"I've been following you. Since you came to Auckland, you've become excellent, very excellent."
Luo Yi persisted, "Did you know that not long ago, I encountered an assassination attempt?"
"The killer of the Mercy Witch dragged me into my dream and wanted to kill me."
"I don't know about this!"
The noble lady raised her eyebrows, her eyes sharp: "Was it that mysterious force that did it?!"
"Look, you know who did it, I'm still in Oakland, and they sent out assassins.
Do you think that if I really go back and inherit the title of Earl of the Raymond family, will I die a more miserable death?"
Luo Yi looked at the lady and said, "As a mother, have you ever considered the safety of my son?"
"I'll keep you safe!"
“You can’t guarantee it, the Millennium Earl, the strength of the Raymond family, who dares to say it is weak?
But what about now?
Just like that, it’s gone!”
"You can't protect the Raymond family, so naturally, you can't protect me either!"
Finally, Luo Yi's eyes seemed to be somewhat disappointed, an indescribable disappointment, and he spoke again: "You, rather than saying it's for me, it's actually just your ambition.
All you want is the title and territory of the Raymond family."
Having said this, the disappointment in Luo Yi's eyes was about to overflow. He turned around, stepped forward, opened the door, and left, all in one go.
Even from behind, they all looked a bit dejected.
The lady looked at him, opened her lips, but said nothing.
Until Roy walked downstairs, got on the carriage, and was driven by the coachman to the outside of Provence Manor.
At this time, the lady walked to the window and looked at the carriage going away, with a look of melancholy on her face.
"Tell me, am I really not a qualified mother?"
On the side, a pretty girl said: "Master, everything you do is for his own good!"
"But it's for his own good, but that's just what I think is for his own good. It may not be what he wants.
Just like my father back then, when he insisted on making me the Grand Duke, I was very resistant.”
"It wasn't until I reached that position that I fully understood that my father's decisions were all correct!"
As she murmured this, the confusion in the lady's eyes had disappeared. She looked at the carriage going away, as if she saw Luo Yi's back, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"This little rascal is really clever!"
“As expected of Karl and I’s child, not bad, not bad!
I now feel more and more that he should be the head of the Raymond family and the Earl of the Duchy of Normandy."
The pretty girl spoke at the right time: "But the young master seems to be a little resistant?"
"Then let's think of a way. Think of a way to make him understand that only by inheriting the earldom can he have the power to protect himself.
Instead of just trying to avoid it!"
"But there are some things he can't avoid!"
As she said this, the smile on the lady's face faded a little, and she said, "Let's contact the Habsburg Empire officials and tell them that I have to stay here for a few more days.
Let them do it!"
The pretty girl was a little embarrassed: "The Habsburg Empire shouldn't have any problems.
But, Master, back home, many people may not be able to endure this for much longer."
"They are like hungry wolves, eyeing the territories and titles left by the Raymond family.
Besides, as you know, aristocratic marriages are very common. If there are no direct descendants, it is reasonable for them to inherit."
"Then notify everyone and have someone keep an eye on it. Anyone who dares to show up before I return will be beaten!"
The pretty girl immediately responded, "Yes!"
The noble lady continued, "Please help me place a bounty on the Pan-Continental Killer Organization. 5,000 gold tiers are required for the head of the Witch of Mercy. The upper limit is 100,000 gold tiers."
"Forget about that damn Karl, but my son, Aphra, is not someone who can be touched by just any cat or dog!"
"yes!"
This time, the pretty girl's voice was three times louder.
…
The other side.
Inside the carriage.
Butler Hoover actually came along, as did Mira and Angel.
Luo Yi raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows to relieve the fatigue of the day.
There were too many things happening that day and the impact was too great. He was really tired!
Tired of heart!
He didn't expect that the first time he met his biological mother, things would turn out like this.
But the waters of the Norman Duchy were too complicated, and he really didn't want to get involved.
This time, it was Butler Hoover who couldn't hold back any longer. He asked, "Master, are you really not going to reconsider this?"
Luo Yi looked up, meeting Butler Hoover's expectant gaze, and said, "Do you want me to get involved?"
Hoover said: "I am mainly afraid. I am afraid that a family that has been passed down for thousands of years will fall apart like this."
"If the young master doesn't show up, I can even imagine that day coming, and it won't be too far away."
Roy nodded slowly. He could understand Hoover's concerns.
Unlike Roy, Roy really didn't have much affection for the Raymond family. He even recognized it as an employment relationship between workers and capitalists.
But Hoover is obviously different!
As butlers trained by aristocrats for thousands of years, they have been engaged in this profession for many generations, and they have the opportunity to become butlers only because they are favored by the nobles.
Their recognition of the family and their pride in their identity and honor were beyond Luo Yi's imagination.
Do you really want to get involved?
He was somewhat reluctant.
After a long, long time, he finally said, "Talk about it later! Talk about it later!"
…
That night,
Lie in bed.
This was the first time in a long time that Roy had insomnia.
Countless bizarre scenes seemed to flash through his mind.
Sometimes it was a childhood memory, sometimes it was the face of Count Raymond,
Sometimes it is the carefree life of Ferro Town, and sometimes it is the battle in the critical moment.
Sometimes it's the life of Philante Magic Academy, and sometimes it's the sweaty training...
And all of this converges into the vast beauty of the flower territory, but there is also a terrifying existence that can destroy everything with a wave of its hand.
Are you saying that Luo Yi really isn't moved at all?
That's of course impossible!
The accumulation of a thousand-year-old family, the title of earl, and the territory of Flower Territory are now no longer constrained.
If he really inherited all of this, it would be equivalent to stepping into the uppermost circle of this world.
The countless secrets of this world will also be revealed to him.
It is even possible that the Raymond family has the powerful fighting skills he needs, or even secret sacred skills.
However, great benefits are always accompanied by risks.
So far, there is really no news about the mysterious force that destroyed the Raymond family.
This is what Luo Yi is most worried about!
That night, Luo Yi seemed to be dreaming, but he also felt that he was awake.
Until finally, it turned into a long sigh, echoing throughout the room.
Danger and opportunity always coexist!
The bait's allure and poison are also on the hook!
What should we do?
…
Grand Duke Aphra Norman settled down in the Provence estate. Roy had already prepared himself mentally to face the many methods this man might use.
But what he didn't expect was that the other party behaved very quietly, as if just staying there, waiting for him to change his mind.
However, the entire city of Auckland became eerily quiet because of her arrival.
Everyone seemed to be busy with their own things, but trying to keep the noise to a minimum.
It seems that he is afraid of disturbing this person!
The Grand Duke's majesty was fully displayed at this moment.
In this quiet and almost depressing environment, several days passed by in a flash, and Luo Yi received the news.
Bella, arriving soon!
Of course, this ship has nothing to do with Roy, but Lilia Lightninger is on this ship!
Yes, she is finally back.
At this moment, Luo Yi felt like his soul had found a home, and he became more impatient.
at the same time,
Inside the Provence estate.
An urgent message was delivered to the Grand Duchess through a temporary teleportation magic circle.
She looked at the message on the note, and finally a smile appeared on the corners of her lips!
Today is another day of hard work!
