Chapter 131 Brother, I Miss You So Much
Three days have passed since Lynn was freed from Yvessite.
During these three days, he moved freely in the mansion as if nothing had happened.
As for Her Royal Highness the Princess, although she did not impose any further restrictions on his freedom, that was all.
According to Afiya, since that night, His Highness seemed to have become autistic and locked himself in the study all day.
I don’t know whether this change is good or bad.
As the aftermath of the disaster in Orne City has not yet been dealt with, and Duke Tyrus has been busy with official duties recently, and it is said that the border demons have been invading repeatedly, he is the only one who has some free time.
Apart from him, the entire estate was busy, finishing up the reconstruction work of the city.
For this reason, the Augusta family's status in the city council has been unprecedentedly improved, and perhaps it won't be long before they can move up a little from the position of baron.
So the whole family is very grateful to Lin En for his kindness.
At present, except for Princess Yvesette, his status in the manor even surpassed that of Baron Augusta himself, and everyone was convinced by him.
However, Lynn did not have the time to lead this group of people.
Although he seemed to be doing nothing, he was actually a little anxious inside, waiting for a reply from Yvesette.
Whether the stagnant fate can start moving again depends on her choice.
Although he wanted to return to the imperial capital directly, Lin En also knew that the princess's condition was the most important issue at the moment.
So today, as usual, he stayed in the library of Augusta Manor, flipping through books out of boredom.
However, sitting opposite him was a blond boy named Graya Augusta, who was frantically reading several thick books on alchemy theory.
"Very good knowledge, makes my butt spin, aba aba aba"
He was mumbling incomprehensible words and flipping through the book with a dull expression.
Seeing this, Lin En gave a thumbs up and said, "I really envy you for making the most of your youth and working hard for your studies and knowledge. Come on, young man."
Graya's face darkened. "How about we switch? You try this damn Royal Supernatural Academy entrance exam?"
“Forget it.” Lin En picked up the book, put his boots on the table, and leaned back in his chair leisurely. “My buddy has been kicked out of the academy. It’s harder than climbing to the sky to go back.”
"By the way, are the things you learned so difficult?"
"Nonsense!" Graya was a little upset. "Let's not talk about anything else. Take the essay test for example. Candidates are required to complete a discussion of no less than 1,000 words within an hour and a half! You might as well just kill me!"
"Are all the people in your imperial capital so terrifying?"
Lin En scratched his head, as if recalling his past glory days: "Well, I remember I was also stuck for a while back then, but I was able to get in through special recruitment."
"How many points did you get on your paper?"
Lynn glanced at him: "0."
"What the hell?!" Graya was stunned. "What did you write at that time?!"
Hearing this, Lin En seemed to be thinking: "I vaguely remember that the title of my paper in that period seemed to be 'How to Eliminate Racial Discrimination', but I was off topic."
"What do you think it is?"
"I didn't see the word 'discrimination'."
"?"
Graya broke out in a cold sweat.
He was a little afraid to ask further questions. What on earth had this guy written to have so many words? And how powerful was the Bartler family's background at the time to allow this guy with antisocial tendencies to successfully enroll in school.
So he tried to change the subject very stiffly: "By the way, the tutor my father hired for me these two days is really too poor. He teaches useless things all day long."
"Don't say that about yourself."
Lynn gave him a worried look.
"You fucking"
Graya took a deep breath.
Before he could retort, Lin En seemed to suddenly remember something and opened the system casually.
[Character name: Graya Augusta]
[Plot level: F]
[Plot deviation: 0.00%]
"I take back what I said just now." After seeing his plot level, Lin En took a breath, "You are indeed a useless thing."
"Let me go."
After some fun and play, Lynn successfully made Graya forget all the alchemical knowledge that he had just memorized with great difficulty.
After realizing this, there was another wailing.
"I shouldn't have sat at the same table with you to study!" Graya picked up the book angrily and stood up to leave. "That's it, no need to contact me anymore."
"Wait a minute." At this moment, Lin En suddenly stopped him and said, "Have you found the letters I asked you to find before?"
"I found it, but it seems that your servants have opened it and looked at it."
Speaking of this, Graya instantly became serious, then took out a thick stack of envelopes from his arms and placed them in front of Lin En.
"Ok, you can go now."
"You're just killing the donkey after it's done with its work, right?"
After Graya left, Lin En collected his thoughts and looked at the opened envelopes with some solemnity.
Those lowly servants had been tortured to death by the furious Princess. It was a pity that he was not there at the time and was unable to obtain any information about the family from them.
And with the abilities of the group of stupid subordinates that Iviste left in the imperial capital, they probably wouldn't be able to find out any overly confidential information.
After looking at the chronological order, Lynn opened the earliest envelope.
Looking at the beautiful handwriting above, he couldn't help but fall into silence.
Eleanor Bartlett.
Apart from her father and her eldest sister-in-law who is now missing, she is the only living relative in the entire family who is related to Lin En by blood.
His biological sister.
After slowly unfolding the letter and reading the contents clearly, Lin En's expression suddenly froze.
The Imperial Capital, Glostin, the Royal Academy of Supernatural Powers.
Right now, the Alchemy Department classroom was empty and very quiet.
The students are still resting in their respective dormitories. Except for the teaching assistants, no one would come to the classroom so early to prepare.
However, at this moment, a girl who looked like a student was busy fiddling with the bottles and jars on the podium, preparing for the upcoming alchemy general education class.
She had a slender and graceful figure, with the outline of a budding breast faintly visible on her chest. Apart from that, her long black hair was tied into two ponytails, hanging on both sides of her shoulders.
The girl seemed to have a pair of beautiful sea-blue eyes, exactly like someone else's, and her fair face looked delicate and pretty.
It’s a pity that those eyes seemed a little dim, as if some sad emotion was suppressed in their hearts.
Eleanor Bartlett.
As the last bloodline of the Bartleon family left in the imperial capital, her two brothers were assassinated one after another. One died on the battlefield, and the other was deprived of his power and became a disabled person. He was exiled to a border city and she probably would never have the chance to see them again in this life.
Except for Marquis Bartletleon who was still lying unconscious on the hospital bed, she was the only one left in such a big family.
Oh, now it should be called Earl.
After all, in the previous shocking case, the Bartleon family was the first to be liquidated, and even his father's title was forcibly downgraded.
As a result, most of the rumors and undercurrents that were originally supposed to target the family fell on the girl.
“Snap!”
In one careless move, the glass vessel fell to the ground and shattered.
She was suddenly a little panicked.
If the professor found an excuse to punish her again, she might even be expelled from the Royal Academy of Supernatural Powers.
Once they lose the means to increase their strength, the Bartleon family will have no possibility of making a comeback.
Tears instantly welled up in Eleanor's eyes.
She squatted down and frantically tried to clean up the debris.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
As a result, due to another carelessness, the delicate skin on the fingertips was cut.
The series of setbacks made Eleanor, who was already extremely depressed, kneel on the ground, and tears as big as beans welled up in her eyes.
She cried silently, as if she was crushed by the successive blows and completely collapsed.
In a trance, two figures appeared in front of the girl's eyes.
The two brothers seemed to be stroking her head gently, comforting her not to be afraid as they did in the past.
Unfortunately, everything the Mosgra family did completely destroyed her originally peaceful and beautiful life, turning those memories into a dream bubble.
Just then, there was a burst of dense footsteps suddenly coming from the door.
She quickly raised her sleeves and tried to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, not wanting anyone to see such an undignified scene.
However, the other party was one step faster after all.
Looking at Eleanor who was sitting on the ground crying in front of the broken glass, several girls who suddenly broke into the classroom burst into laughter at the same time.
There was sarcasm and disdain in her laughter, as if she was mocking the once high-ranking daughter of the Bartleron family for falling into such an embarrassing situation.
The girl in the lead had high cheekbones and looked a little sarcastic.
"Dear Eleanor, why are you hiding here crying alone?" She squatted down and looked at him levelly, "Is it because you don't have your brother's hug? Where is he?"
"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot. Your brother Lin En seems to have disappeared completely in the border disaster. He is probably dead."
"Poor thing, Eleanor. Do you want me to comfort you?"
As she said that, the girl was about to reach out and grab her hair.
Her name is Eunice Mosgra, and she is a direct blood relative of the Snow Eagle family.
Because her family's reputation in the imperial capital has been extremely formidable in the past two years, her status in the academy has also risen accordingly.
As the victorious party in the struggle between the two families, she looked down upon the descendants of the losers with contempt.
Hearing this, Eleanor's expression turned cold and she waved her hand to open her wrist.
Although there were tears in her eyes, she was still very stubborn.
Vulnerability is reserved for yourself.
She would not back down when facing outsiders, especially the sworn enemy of the family.
"My brother won't die." Eleanor said coldly as she lowered her head to clean up the debris on the ground, "Sooner or later, he will come back to teach you damn bastards a lesson!"
Although she said that, a hint of sadness flashed across her blue eyes the moment she lowered her head.
Rationally speaking, what this woman said is actually correct.
Deep down in Eleanor's heart, she actually had the idea that her two brothers had left the world completely.
After all, due to the deliberate blockade by Saint Laurent VI and certain dignitaries, the figure of the young man was completely erased from all the major events that happened in Orne City recently, and there was not even a single record of him in the book of merit.
So even Eleanor didn't know what terrible things her brother had done at the border.
Moreover, after Lin En returned to the manor, the news that he was still alive did not reach the imperial capital due to Duke Tyrus's deliberate blockade.
As for the Second Prince who also knew about the situation, he was the one who suffered a setback. If Lin En and others didn't say anything, how could he spread the news so loudly?
Therefore, at this moment, the vast majority of churches and nobles in the imperial capital believed that the young man really died in the Level 0 Sealed Object riot.
Only a small number of people knew some of the inside information and smelled the signs of impending storm.
Perhaps, the day when the young man returns to the imperial capital will be the day when a shocking drama begins.
Sensing the girl's stubbornness, Eunice's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "What have you thought about the last incident?"
"Viscount Glad is very rich. Although he is a little old, he is not bad looking. Most importantly, he fell in love with you at first sight at the last ball. He mentioned your name repeatedly in front of his father, hoping to make you his third wife."
"The Bartleron family is in a difficult situation right now. We finally have a chance to save our lives. We should not give up this opportunity."
"What do you think?"
She placed her hand on Eleanor's slender shoulder, gradually applying force, as if she were making only a trivial suggestion.
It was also as if she was being forced to obey the arrangements of the Mosgra family.
After all, her sister is the famous "Imperial Valkyrie" Irina, and the Bartleon family has already been completely infiltrated, so they do have the power to make decisions about Eleanor's fate.
"Shut up and get out of here!"
Eleanor suddenly grabbed the broken glass on the ground and threw it towards Eunice, regardless of the bleeding cuts on her delicate palms.
An old and ugly widower is also worthy of having evil intentions towards the daughter of the Bartleron family? Although he has lost his former glory and status, the dignity of the family cannot be insulted!
“Damn it!”
Although she tried her best to dodge the sharp fragments, a bloody mark still appeared on Eunice's cheek.
Seeing Eleanor's desperate look, she nodded grimly, "Very good."
"Since you don't accept this friendly advice from a friend, then we should have a good talk about the deal between us."
"Do you remember the previous contract?" Eunice raised a malicious smile, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is very interested in Bartleron's blood, so he asked to use your blood in exchange for the survival of the family."
"One tube of blood, I guarantee that your Bart Leon family will not be expelled from the imperial capital for a day."
"But seeing how ungrateful you are, I think this contract can be modified."
"Starting today, the requirement will be changed from one tube of blood to ten tubes."
"I don't know how long your small body can last. Let's wait and see."
As she spoke, Eunice glanced at her viciously, then left with a few followers.
Eleanor was left alone facing the broken glass, stunned and crying silently.
After a while, she gently raised her scarred little hand and pressed it hard against her chest.
There was a hint of sadness in those empty and numb eyes.
"Brother, I miss you so much"
