Chapter 493: Confused Family
After leaving Laurel College, Lorna made an appointment with some of her close classmates to go to Wangcheng Street for a drink, waved goodbye and disappeared.
Kino and Andre took Solandel back to the mansion in a carriage. The sun set early in the cold season, and it was almost night when they got home, with only a ray of twilight remaining in the western sky.
The aroma of food was flowing in the mansion, and Queen Catherine was already waiting outside the door for the children to return. She was still smiling when she saw Solandel jumping out of the carriage, but when she saw Kino following behind, the smile on her face
Subtract some more.
Obviously, Catherine had a bad impression of Kino.
First, Kino is indeed "notorious". The title "Twilight Death" is very respectable for warriors in the army. It is a symbol of strength and fame. But in Catherine's eyes, Kino's actions are more cold-blooded.
Young Butcher.
Second, when Kino first entered the royal city last year, Catherine caught him kissing the instep of Solandel, which was absolutely unacceptable to a mother.
Moreover, Catherine really couldn’t figure out what the charm of this Dusk Death was. Her daughter was very close to him. During the autumn vacation, she would hear her mention Kino dozens of times a day, which made her ears feel calluses.
In addition, after the passage of the "Enemy Protection Act", Kino's status in Doguland's political arena has been greatly improved, and there is really nothing Catherine can do against him.
Catherine was not an unruly woman, she still had the honor of being a queen. With a faint smile on her face, she greeted Kino generously: "Archon Kino, could you please pick Solandel up from school?"
, the food is ready in the mansion, let’s eat together.”
Kino was well aware of Catherine's attitude towards him, and knew that she was just talking politely, so he found an excuse to actively refuse: "Thank you for your kindness, I have an appointment with guests tonight, and I will come to visit next time."
"Okay, let Andre see you off." Catherine secretly approved of Kino's understanding of the situation, and she took the opportunity to issue an eviction order.
Solandel is a smart child. She knows that her mother has always had opinions about Kino, and she also knows that if she forcefully invites Kino to go home for dinner now, it will definitely make both parties very embarrassed, so she did not say anything to save Kino.
.
“I’ll see you off.” Andre made a gesture of invitation to Kino, and the two of them left one after another.
Solandel held her mother's hand and walked towards the mansion, but before she had walked a few steps, she suddenly tilted her head in an odd way, trotted up to Kino, motioned for him to put her ear to her, and then whispered.
“Then I’ll say goodbye first.” Kino didn’t have any special reaction after hearing this, and left with Andre. He didn’t know what Solandel had whispered.
After Solandel returned home, she waited until Andre came back before she and Catherine sat down at the dining table to have dinner.
Boton is busy with military affairs and is away all year round.
Perseus didn’t know what he was talking about with the Archbishop. He just started talking about it from last night and it hasn’t ended yet tonight, and he hasn’t gone home for dinner.
There were only three people, mother and daughter, in the restaurant, which was a bit empty, but they had long been used to the lack of people, so being able to gather a whole family together for a meal was something new.
The food the three of them ate had their own characteristics. Andre didn't like luxurious meals and preferred ordinary people's home-cooked dishes. There were two corns on the plate, scrambled eggs, mushroom soup, and some bacon, fruits and vegetables for nutrition.
Replenish.
Catherine is a vegetarian and does not eat meat. The dishes on the dinner plate are bright red and green, with no oil or water.
Solandel's recipe is customized by a nutritionist and is also the healthiest. The staple food is whole wheat bread and a bowl of quinoa porridge. The meat is beef tenderloin and chicken breast cooked without seasoning, and a small plate of high-quality nuts is used as fat.
Intake, plus fruits and vegetables rich in dietary fiber.
Catherine ate her vegetarian food slowly and asked with concern: "Solan, have you encountered any problems in your studies during this time?"
Solandel shook her head: "Everything is fine, there is no big problem."
Catherine patiently warned: "It's fine if you don't have one. If there is, you should tell the teacher in time. Those teachers are all erudite scholars and are very wise. If you encounter a problem that the teachers don't know, go to the Bachelor of Science Yuan Wen."
.If necessary, mother can ask him to be a tutor."
Yuan Wen, this weird-tempered bachelor, was too late to hide from Solandel. How could she dare to ask him to be her tutor? She quickly interrupted with a smile: "No, no, no, Teacher Yuan Wen is usually busy, so don't bother him.
The same goes for asking other teachers to answer questions."
Andre asked with great interest: "Solan, after studying in the past few years, which subject is your favorite?"
When this topic was brought up, Solandel suddenly became excited: "I think military-related courses are very interesting! Every time I take a military class, time goes by without me noticing, and I still have more to say!"
Catherine sighed softly: "You child, although you need to have a balanced development in the academy, you should not spend too much attention on the military. Your brother Bolton is the general, and he will be responsible for the military field of the kingdom from now on.
You should focus more on communication courses and strive to become a lady."
Solandel has heard this kind of words countless times, and Catherine has to repeat them every now and then.
Solandel was really not interested in the communication course. This kind of course taught you the angle of pouring tea all day long, and it was so boring to learn how to hold the knife and fork in the most elegant way! She agreed with "good, good, good" and secretly told An
Andre stuck out his tongue playfully.
While eating, Solandel suddenly began to speed up her progress and ate the food on the plate quickly, looking a little anxious.
Catherine looked a little confused: "What's wrong? You're in a hurry. Slow down, don't choke."
Solandel finished the last mouthful of quinoa porridge, arranged the rice forks and spoons neatly, and jumped off the chair: "Mom, I made an appointment with my classmates to do homework together in the evening. You guys eat slowly, I'm going out first."
"Ah?" Catherine was stunned for a moment, then stood up, "It's already night, why do we have to go out or let the classmates come to our house?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll be back soon. You can continue to eat, bye~" Solandel didn't give Catherine a chance to react, and ran away without a trace.
"This child." Catherine sat down helplessly, as if she had lost her appetite, and frowned and muttered, "Some classmate has gone to find Kino."
Andre hesitated, not knowing whether he should help Solandel continue to hide it, and in the end he could only laugh.
Catherine was silent for a long time, her eyes darkened, and she was filled with loneliness for some reason: "Andre, please help and keep an eye on her, don't let your sister get too close to Kino."
Andre said helplessly: "This is Jiumei's private matter, and I can't handle it."
"You have to manage it even if it's not easy. Solan is already pitiful enough. I just want her to have a happier childhood and not make any bad friends. She will be 13 years old soon after the Chinese New Year, and she will be 13 years old in three years." Catherine
At this point, I don't know why my eyes turned red, I covered my mouth gently, and tears fell down.
Andre hurriedly sat down next to Catherine and hugged her shoulders silently, but said nothing, obviously knowing something.
