The old lord stared at Li Ke, who had a blank look on his face.
He thought the old lord wanted to talk to him about his bag of belongings, but he never expected that Jennifer was actually the other man's daughter?!
He also thought that the other person was staring at the other person's breasts because the other person wanted to take Jennifer as his lover, and he even thought up a script about the jealousy between his son and his father.
It turned out to be a daughter?
"She was a mistake, but there is no way, I can't let go of her mother... But now, someone must take care of her."
Seeing Li Ke's doubts, the old lord put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"You should know how to choose, young man."
As he spoke, the old lord's tone was full of threats.
"But you may not be able to beat me, right?"
Li Ke also put his hand on his waist, but he was stunned because he didn't know when the sword on his waist disappeared.
Just when he was surprised, a female voice appeared behind him.
"Is this what you're looking for?"
He turned his head, just in time to see a woman suddenly appear from a place where there was nothing, and when she appeared, a shadow was still covering her body.
And in her hand, she happened to be holding his sword.
People of this world...
They are all so smart.
Li Ke felt helpless for a while. When he first came to this medieval world, he really felt that he had a lot to do. He could rely on his intelligence and wisdom to quickly establish a foothold in this world.
But the fact is that these people may be somewhat inferior in knowledge and ideas, but how can Li Ke's skills in intrigues and intrigues with others, which he has trained in the workplace, compare to the ability of these people who use their lives as a threat to train them?
On Earth, if you don't do what you say and do well, the most you can do is lose your job and be suppressed.
But if you are not smart enough here, you will really die.
Therefore, Li Ke really feels that he is still too immature in terms of his ability to fight and intrigue.
"Looks like I have no choice?"
"Yes, but you don't have to worry. I just want my daughter to live. You can find any woman you want. There is no requirement for you to have children, as long as you ensure that my daughter can live."
The old lord sighed helplessly.
Jennifer was his illegitimate daughter, who was entrusted to an old subordinate who was infertile. Apart from him, only those closest to him knew about it.
Even his wife and son don't know.
However, things often left him helpless.
His son had a crush on Jennifer, his de facto sister.
This is a very bad thing. He barely conceals his infatuation with Jennifer, and even said on various occasions that he would continue to be with Jennifer after marrying his wife.
This kind of thing is actually nothing. Nobles are like this. If they are not satisfied with their marriage, they can just do their own thing after giving birth to an heir.
But you can't say it.
The old lord couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. Over the years, he had fought in the north and south, and his position had become more and more stable. However, precisely because he continued to follow His Majesty the Emperor in battles, his discipline of his son had deteriorated.
It's lacking a lot.
His son being so public almost meant that he and Jennifer would have an illegitimate child, and an illegitimate child would be a problem.
Therefore, Jennifer must live in pain to warn those women who do not know their own abilities. Only in this way will the other women marry their daughters with confidence.
This matter gave him a headache. He couldn't let his daughter have no one to rely on, but he couldn't let her live too well, otherwise a killer would come. So, he could only choose someone to be his daughter.
My daughter relies on me.
And this person...
"I probably understand."
Li Ke also thought of this, but it was not a good thing for him. Knowing so much, he also knew what he wanted to do.
So obviously.
He can't run away. Only dead people or stakeholders can keep this kind of thing a secret.
"So what are your choices?"
I want to choose to kill you with one sword.
Ever since he used evil energy, Li Ke felt angry in his heart, but in the end he nodded.
There is no way, the situation is stronger than the person.
Moreover.
The worst case scenario is to run away.
Moreover, Jennifer was a rare person who showed kindness to him, so it was not too much to take care of her by himself.
It was this kind of self-defeating performance that really made him unhappy.
"Very good, I will arrange a clean identity for you, sir. No matter who you were before, from now on, you will be the adopted son of one of my old subordinates."
He paused and asked in a positive tone.
"You must be illiterate, right?"
Li Ke nodded helplessly. The fact is that he is illiterate in this world.
"A knight cannot be ignorant of words... I will find a teacher for you and let him teach you words and poetry. I hope you will not disappoint. During this time, you can stay here and help my daughter take care of this tavern.
, after all, this will be your property from now on."
After the old lord finished speaking, he walked out. Li Ke looked at his leaving figure and didn't know what to say.
Fate is so wonderful. He tried hard to find the identity of a humble Holy Light monk in another town, but in the end he couldn't get it at all.
And in this place, as long as he pretends to marry a kind-hearted woman who has been disfigured so that she can survive, he can obtain the status of a knight and noble, become literate, and jump into the aristocratic class.
The price is just one more wife who is not a wife.
"This world is really interesting..."
Sitting on the bed, Li Ke lay down. He didn't know what to say now. He just felt that all his efforts were like a joke in the face of fate.
But soon, he rejected this idea.
"It's just that I don't have enough strength. Otherwise, my fate will be to be easily killed by that killer!"
Stretching out his hand, evil power emerged in his hand. Looking at this magical power, he thought of Jennifer.
Holy light cannot save her appearance, so what about evil power?
Touching his smooth neck and the armpits that were pierced an hour ago, Li Ke couldn't feel any difference at all. Apart from consuming his own life force, his body was exactly the same as before - no
, and even got better.
So, can Jennifer's appearance be restored through evil energy?
Li Ke was a little moved, but he didn't know whether Xie Neng could do this.
He didn't want to marry Jennifer, who would marry someone they only knew for a day?
But he also wants to become a noble and learn the writing of this world for free.
