Eve and Phillip both looked at their daughters with surprise. As a well-bred aristocratic lady, Caitlin had never been as excited as she was today.
"Father, how could you do this! I don't agree to this engagement." Caitlin also realized that she had lost her temper. She sat down on the chair angrily, very dissatisfied with Phillip's decision.
"Why don't you agree? Jarvan IV will be the king of Demacia in the future. And I have also met that young man. Not to mention his handsome appearance, he is very capable. I believe you will be very satisfied with such a husband." Philip.
He advised slowly.
"You are not me, how do you know that I will like him?" Caitlin clenched her fists and looked firmly at Duke Philip's eyes: "In short, I will never marry the prince of Demacia!"
"Nonsense!" Duke Philip frowned and slapped the dining table hard with his big hand. Eve next to him and the maids behind him were all startled.
"I have promised King Jarvan III, but you will not marry me if you don't want to marry me? Caitlin, believe me, Jarvan IV is definitely an ideal husband."
Caitlin became stubborn: "If you don't want to marry, you just don't want to marry."
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Eve came out to smooth things over: "I think it's better to slow down this matter. It's rare for us to have a meal together today, so don't talk about these troublesome things."
Ezreal, who was watching on the sidelines, felt a little bitter. When he heard that Philip was going to marry Caitlin to the prince of Demacia, he suddenly felt the urge to rush forward and strangle Duke Philip to death, but unfortunately he couldn't.
Not only because Philip is Caitlin's father, but also because Ezreal has decided to leave Pitover, train himself to improve his strength, and then join the League of Legends to fulfill Henry V's last wish and help Elizabeth regain real power. So he and Caitlin
We can't get together, at least for now.
"No, there's no need to talk about this matter." Caitlin ignored Eve's soft voice to dissuade her, and secretly glanced at Ezreal, who was dazed beside her. She took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind: "Father,
The reason why I don't agree to this marriage is because I already have someone I like."
"Oh? Who is he?" Philip couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. His daughter, who had always been overly ambitious, actually had someone she liked. This was breaking news. Philip had a strong affection for the young man who could impress his daughter.
interest
"Father, you also know him..." At this point, Caitlin's eyes slowly fell on Ezreal, and the eyes of Eve and Phillip also gradually fell on him. Seeing everyone looking at her,
Ezreal felt flattered.
"Caitlin, you...are you not talking about me?" Ezreal pointed at himself and asked.
Caitlin lowered her head slightly, and a blush spread on her delicate and pretty face, which was really beautiful. Isn't this shy look the most direct answer?
Caitlin's shy posture was very lethal. Ezreal had never seen Caitlin look so coquettish before. His brain went crazy and he was stunned for a moment.
Caitlin, who had her head lowered and saw Ezreal didn't respond for a long time, couldn't help but raise her head and glance at him secretly. Seeing that he looked stupid and lost in thought, she was annoyed and angry, and gave him a gentle elbow: "You
Can’t you just say something?”
"Ah...oh! Aunt Eve, Uncle Phillip, I..." Ezreal opened his mouth, wanting to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, but found that he had no idea what to say.
Eve and Phillip looked at each other when they saw this, and they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes, so Eve walked to Caitlin: "Caitlin, come with me, and I will talk to you."
Philip also said to Ezreal: "Ezreal, come to the study with me."
"oh."
Ezreal and Caitlin were taken to the corner to talk by Philip and Eve respectively.
"Sit, Ezreal."
Entering the study, Philip pointed to the sofa in the center of the study and motioned for Ezreal to sit down.
After Ezreal sat firmly, Philip said leisurely: "There are two possibilities: The first possibility is that Caitlin doesn't really like you, she is just using you as a shield to fight against this dissatisfied family.
marriage."
"Second, Caitlin really likes you, so for you, he did not hesitate to disobey my wishes."
Having said this, Philip Doug looked at Ezreal with a smile: "So, Ezreal, do you think that is more likely?"
It has to be said that Philip Doug has a very accurate grasp of people's psychology. He used Ezreal's subconscious to let him choose the answer for himself.
Ezreal thought about it. During the days when he was pursuing Caitlin, although Caitlin did not explicitly reject him, she had almost no chemical reaction, giving people a neither salty nor light feeling. He thought for a long time,
Ezreal gradually began to lean towards the first possibility...perhaps Caitlin was using him as a shield.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's the first possibility or the second possibility."
Philip smiled softly and interrupted Ezreal's thinking: "Ezreal, please tell me, if I marry Caitlin to you, can you bring him happiness?"
Without waiting for Ezreal to answer, Philip said: "Happiness needs to be based on a certain foundation. When it comes to rights, Ezreal, do you have military power in your hands? Do you have the power to supervise internal affairs? Do you have the power to supervise the constitution?
?In terms of wealth, can you give it to Caitlin, no, can you assemble a set of rune books for yourself with your family property? In terms of strength, do you, who has just officially become a hero, have the strength to traverse the continent of Valoran?"
"If you don't, Ezreal, please tell me, if I marry Caitlin to you, what will you do to ensure that my daughter will be happy?"
Duke Philip's words were deafening, and Ezreal suddenly realized that the sense of superiority and accomplishment he had built up bit by bit when he traveled to Valoran was completely shattered by Philip's words.
"I..." Ezreal opened his mouth, wanting to say something but nothing came out.
Phillip sighed: "To be honest, Ezreal, Uncle Phillip watched you grow up. Uncle Phillip has never treated you as an outsider. When I came back this time, I heard Eve say that you have lost your memory. I don't care if you are
Whether I really have amnesia or I am pretending to have amnesia, I just want to tell you that if you are willing, we will always be a family, do you understand, just like a real family..."
Ezreal saw that his expression was sincere and didn't look like he was faking it. He nodded and asked again: "Then Caitlin..."
Phillip held out three fingers: "Wealth, power, and strength, as long as you have any of them, then I will no longer interfere in your and Caitlin's affairs..."
"Really?" Ezreal originally thought that Philip was going to persuade him to leave Caitlin, but he didn't expect that the situation was completely opposite. His previous words seemed to be motivating Ezreal.
"Yeah." Phillip nodded: "But... you only have two years. I will only give you two years. If you cannot get my approval within two years, then..."
"I understand, thank you, Uncle Philip..."
"No." Philip shook his head and said seriously: "The one you have to thank is yourself..."
Ezreal didn't remember when he walked out of Phillip's study. He only remembered that after opening the door, the first thing he saw was Caitlin's anxious and expectant face...
"Little Ize, what did my father say to you?"
The blush on Caitlin's cheeks had not dissipated. She lowered her head, her eyes evasive, her face was as red as if she had applied rouge, and Ezreal was startled by her pretty and flowery appearance.
"Uncle Philip said... give me two years."
Caitlin raised her head: "What do you mean?"
"If within two years, I cannot achieve something that satisfies Uncle Philip, then you will still have to marry that prince."
When Caitlin heard this, an inexplicable look flashed in her eyes, she lowered her head and asked softly: "Then what are you going to do..."
"I...I don't know, at least, I bought you two years."
"Yes...really?" The look in Caitlin's eyes disappeared instantly, and her sad look made Ezreal feel a little distressed.
"I think it's time for me to leave. Caitlin, say goodbye to Aunt Eve for me."
Ezreal waved his hand and walked towards the door. Caitlin raised her head and stared at his back. When he was about to disappear from her sight, Caitlin mustered up the courage: "Wait a minute, Ize
Riel!”
Ezreal turned around: "What's wrong? Caitlin?"
A faint veil of water gradually appeared in Caitlin's eyes. She gathered all her strength and shouted at him: "What I just said... is all true! It's true..."
After saying that, Caitlin ran upstairs without looking back, leaving Ezreal standing there dumbfounded...
