Chapter 227 Reunion
"Yes, it's a coincidence!" I smiled and said, "The Duke's outfit is rare in such places."
Duke Jesse suddenly felt a little embarrassed. As soon as he heard that the four of us had left the academy, he rushed over and couldn't even bother changing his clothes. After talking to Palan yesterday, even he began to doubt whether his judgment was correct. He was worried about gains and losses, and he was even eager to meet the masked Philea and Alice.
Seeing her father who had been away for a long time, Feliya's expression was extremely complicated. Unfortunately, she was covered by the veil, and only I could clearly feel it. However, when I heard my father teasing her like this, she couldn't help but give me a look of angrily. I was secretly amused. Before I came out, I was hesitating whether to recognize this father, but now I have started to help him. How can the nature of father and daughter be eliminated by ten years of estrangement?
Duke Jesse's embarrassment was only a moment, and soon, he had already focused his attention on Phileas and Alice. If it weren't for knowing his identity, just this eager gaze would be enough to make people regard him as an old man. Alice couldn't bear it and could not help but hide behind me carefully.
I coughed slightly and said, "Duke, it's better to meet me by chance than to invite me. I don't know what you need to buy, but I want us to help you find out? Or, we can take a look together." He came just in time, and the iron was making a fuss while it was hot, so he could just take advantage of the fact that Feliya's knot was first resolved, so I felt that he should be satisfied with his granddaughter he had never met.
Duke Jesse was shocked to lose his composure, quickly withdrew his gaze, laughed, and said, "I am just thinking that I am so depressed. I am always dull, and with you, it will ruin your elegant atmosphere." He had actually observed us for a while, but Filiya's transformation from a pure girl to a gentle woman like this is too much change from the past, and he had no confidence. However, Alice's appearance and behavior made him feel more confident. At this time, he was considering how to observe for a while. With such an opportunity, he was naturally surprised.
But Felia already understood that I was deliberately bringing Alice closer to Duke Jesse. After looking at me gratefully, she acquiesced to my arrangement.
Next, Duke Jesse was in high spirits and took us around almost all the shops in the inner city. Along the way, he tried every means to get close to Alice. However, because he needed to avoid suspicion, he could only observe silently. It was strange that many people had the idea of Alice before. Old Man Siskaya had asked students to get close to Alice many times, thus gaining my teaching, but they all ended in failure. Alice, who was stubborn, never wanted to accept any gifts from students. However, this time she refused to refuse the gifts that Duke Jesse bought for her.
When the weather began to dim and everyone was finally about to break up, he could no longer hold back and said, "Xiaotian, I don't know what your wife's name is, why did I look at her more and more familiar with her?" After a short period of contact, he probably could not recognize Feliya. After an afternoon of observation, he could not hide it from him.
Feilia suddenly shook all over. I smiled slightly and asked without answering, "I want to visit the Duke's Mansion. I wonder if the Duke is welcome?" This roadside is not a good place for their family to reunite.
Duke Jesse was sophisticated and understood almost instantly. His eyes suddenly burst into an unprecedented spirit and said tremblingly: "Of course we welcome, of course we welcome. If you can visit my house, that is a happy event for the Daronx family!"
I felt aroused in my heart. He said it was a happy event rather than a lucky one. It was probably because he had confirmed his identity. Feilia didn't think so much. She sighed and said quietly: "You shouldn't be so polite to us."
It was the whole afternoon when she spoke for the first time. The familiar voice suddenly made Duke Jesse tremble all over. His eyes were staring at Feliya's veil, as if he wanted to see through the veil through the veil. However, although the veil looked very thin, it was made of the best magic silk. In addition to being tough, its biggest feature was that it was breathable and not transparent.
I smiled slightly and said, "Let's talk about it when I get home!" This time, I used some real energy, otherwise, with his current situation, I wouldn't have heard anything I said.
No matter how much Duke Jesse was lost, my voice still flowed through his mind like a clear spring. He suddenly realized that this place was indeed not a suitable place. He said like a conditioned reflex: "Yes, yes, go home first!" Suddenly, he realized something and asked in surprise: "Go home?"
"Yes, go home!" I nodded with a smile, and looked at the excited Filiya.
It was not until Felia nodded heavily that I turned to Duke Jesse with a smile and said, "I think the Duke should have a lot to say to Felia, but this is not a suitable place."
"Felia, Felia..." Although it had almost confirmed just now, when Duke Jesse heard this name again, he was still indescribable to describe his surprise. He murmured: "So, it's really my Felia who is back!"
Feliya's tears could no longer be suppressed, and fell like a broken pearl. In the morning, she was still worried that she would not be tolerated by her father. Now, all the worries completely disappeared at this moment. She couldn't help but step forward, help her father's arm, and said, "Yes, Feliya is back. Dad, let's go home!"
"Yes, when I go home, I want to take my good baby home!" Duke Jesse was so excited that he was a little incoherent. Baby, this title is OK. Alice and I secretly looked at each other and laughed secretly. It was Cassie, who knew that she shouldn't have laughed at her mistress, but she couldn't help but laughed secretly.
Feliya also trembled all over and said helplessly: "Dad, my daughter is so old, why are you still..."
Duke Jesse sighed: "Yes, it's been so many years. I really don't know how you came here for more than ten years."
Seeing that they seemed to be here, they began to tell their past experiences, I hurriedly said, "The carriage is here, let's talk about it when we get home!" In fact, this is simply nonsense. Duke Jesse's carriage has been following us all the time.
The mansion of Duke Jesse is also in this most prosperous inner city. Although the whole manor does not show much luxury, the decorations inside are extremely elegant and tasteful. Each table, chair, grass and wood are all unique, which is incomparable to General Qiao's mansion of the Os Empire. Even the servants in the mansion are very standardized and elegant. In such an environment, people will naturally care unconsciously.
I couldn't help but think of a sentence I saw in any book before: True aristocratic temperament requires at least three generations of hard work to develop. Thinking of Filiya's usual performance, I finally found an explanation. Even if I grow up in such an environment, even if I am subtly moved, it is enough to completely change a person's temperament. Compared to here, Turk's family is really a bit explosive.
After arriving at home, Duke Jesse almost couldn't wait to call out his wife. Obviously, Felia's blonde hair was inherited from her mother. However, perhaps because of the sorrow of her separated daughter, silver threads appeared on her head early. You know, for the lifespan of humans on this continent, she is only barely entering middle age now.
When the mother and daughter met, they cried in a dark place. Duke Jesse and I looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and were helpless. I suggested: "Duke, I wonder if I can visit here? The environment here is really elegant." Since I can't help, I'll just be clean.
"Since Xiaotian is willing, I will send the butler to take you around." As he said that, he immediately called his butler, my old acquaintance, and after a few instructions, he asked him to take me around. Little Alice and Cassili chose to go with me almost at the same time. Although I wanted to keep Alice for acquaintance with her grandparents, I couldn't resist her and could only take her out.
"Brother, are they really my mom's parents?" Alice said strangely on the way: "Why does mom never mention them?"
I smiled and said, "Of course it's true. In the future, Alice will have more people to care for. At that time, if my brother wants to pinch your nose or something, he has to ask them whether they agree or not. How about it? Are you happy?"
Alice tilted her head and thought for a while, and said decisively: "I don't want it!"
"Why?" I said strangely: "What's wrong with more people? If you want to go out shopping in the future, you can take them away. If you want to buy food, you can also let them buy it. You can also receive a lot of gifts on birthdays or holidays, why don't you?"
Alice shook her head and said, "I don't want it. I just need my brother to love me. I don't want someone to care about anything I do when I'm with my brother. I like my brother to pinch my nose!"
I smiled and said, "That's just a metaphor. Besides, that's your mother's relatives. If you don't accept them, your mother will be sad."
"Really? Will mom really be sad?" Alice said hesitantly.
"Of course!" I nodded quickly and said, "Look, if the person you like is unwilling to accept your mother's care, then will you be very sad?"
Alice thought about it carefully for a while before she said, "But I know brother, you like mom very much!"
"This is just a metaphor, not referring to me, brother, but the person you like in the future. Girls will get married when they grow up." I smiled bitterly.
"I don't like other people, I only like my brother." Alice shook her head and said very seriously.
