The development of the matter was somewhat unexpected. When Shim Lane discovered Goethe, one of the elders of the family council, he stamped his feet like an angry woman, no longer paying attention to the prairie elves and Aranza at his feet, put his hands on his hips, and
He turned around and hid in the luxurious building that belonged to his father with a group of his men. This action was really weird for a man who was not handsome and even a little ugly.
Sim secretly cursed Goethe several times behind the door and never showed up again. The fellow students who had been standing behind him also dispersed in a hurry and left as if nothing had happened. However, there is no need to doubt that they are definitely
They will spread what happened just now to every corner of the Black Chain Castle. Of course, it is a deliberately adapted version of the incident. They will compare Aranza to a coward who is extremely timid. In front of Sir Him, they can only pitifully ask Elder Goethe to step in and calm him down.
dispute.
In fact, although Goethe did come forward, it only prevented the situation from getting worse. Even if he didn't come, Aranza would definitely take Dolores back, even if the situation would evolve into him personally killing the son of the family head.
He still had to forcefully rob a prairie elf who didn't seem worthy.
"Aranza, it seems that you don't need to make a special trip to my place. I guess that old fox made Sim, the little fox, make such a fuss just to see my attitude." Goethe looked at Sim's retreat and suddenly
When he opened his mouth and spoke, the sound was like a roaring bell, like thousands of troops galloping forward.
Aranza nodded in response without saying anything else. He was still angry. People like Shim did not take him seriously at all. In other words, they regarded him as a thorn in their side and wanted to remove him all the time.
He walked to Dolores and looked at the iron chain that bound her. This was a mithril chain that was a specialty of the dwarves. It required at least a high-level combat force with full strength to break free. Aranza called Cyril and Ser.
Lars, everyone worked together, and it took a lot of effort to break the chain, allowing Dolores to be free again.
Dolores half stood up, no longer smiling as cutely and mischievously as before, hugging her legs with her hands, sobbing.
Aranza sighed, picked her up by the waist, turned around and walked towards the small building arranged for him by the family. Jexi also recovered from the slap and walked aside to comfort the crying elf as much as possible.
The group of people returned to their residence amidst the innocent cries of the elf. Nicole, the half-time housekeeper Old Follett, and the family council elder Goethe were also among the people returning.
After returning to Aranza's small building built in the center of the garden.
Cyril helped Dolores, while Jessie was still racking her brains to comfort her, while Nicole followed them without saying a word. The four girls all went upstairs, leaving Aranza and the others downstairs.
In the living room.
Several people sat down on the animal skin sofas arranged around them, Goethe sat in the middle, and Silas lay down next to Aranza's seat and squinted his eyes, seemingly not caring about the upcoming conversation.
First there was a silence of each thinking.
"Aranza, what you just did was too reckless," Goethe spoke first. Perhaps because of his many years of commanding battles, or perhaps because of his status as the elder of the family council, there was an unquestionable authority in his voice.
"I think it is necessary to tell you in advance the current situation of our family."
Hearing this, Old Follett nodded in agreement.
"Well, old man, just tell me what you have to say." Aranza chuckled and walked all the way back to his residence. He felt much more relaxed and suddenly returned to his usual carefree look. But if Jessie or Cyril were there at this time,
Beside him, one could definitely see that Aranza's smile was not very natural.
"Well..." Goethe thought for a while. Although he had not been in contact with Aranza for some years, he could still see that Aranza was smiling reluctantly. Goethe's thick white beard moved, but he didn't know where to speak. In the end, he had to
He gestured to old Follett and said, "Follett, you know more about the family's stall than I do, so you can tell me."
"Yes, sir." Stating some events to his master, Old Follett could not have been better at this kind of work. He cleared his throat, gathered his thoughts, and then said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, you know, no matter how we object,
And resistance, the current head of the Ryan family is still Duke Alsis, which was voted by the family council."
Having said this, Old Follett looked at Goethe apologetically. He was one of the elders of the family council and participated in the process of selecting the Duke of Alsis.
Goethe smiled noncommittally and explained: "There is nothing we can do about it. Lampman, Nice and I all voted against it, but the other four old stubborns are not easy to deal with. They only look at the immediate interests. Follett,
Just keep talking."
"Yes, sir. But for Duke Alsis, his position is not strong. The Lane family has always believed in glory. The family heads in the past generations are all mercenary princes or heroic princes, because the glory achieved by the two kings is enough to
Everyone surrenders, so there are not many people in the family who really obey Duke Alsis. There are currently two candidates for the real head of the family that everyone expects. One is you, His Royal Highness, and the other is a descendant of the mercenary king.
, Miss Elita.”
"Elita?" Hearing this, Aranza was slightly surprised. Although he didn't stay in the family often, he knew the members of the family. But the descendant of the mercenary king, Elita, seemed to have never heard of this.
name.
"Yes, Elita," Goethe interjected with a smile, looking enthusiastic. It seemed that he had a good impression of this girl, "She is Lampmann's granddaughter. This old guy hid it deeply enough, and now
Show Elita, the descendants of the mercenary king have always been as explosive as volcanoes. Shim's little fox also went to trouble Elita the day before yesterday, and was beaten badly, oh, that was miserable, haha
Haha, Aranza, in comparison, you are far behind."
Aranza did not express his position. In fact, he was not interested in what Old Follett and Goethe said. As for the girl named Ilita, he was only defined as the descendant of the powerful mercenary king.
Seeing that Aranza didn't speak, Old Follett continued the previous content and said: "Based on the current situation, Duke Alsis wants Him to test His Highness the Prince and Miss Elita. To be precise, he wants to test the family council.
Attitude. I think Duke Alsis will not do anything too extreme, but in order to eliminate the threat to his position, Duke Alsis will definitely do something..."
Old Follett stopped and did not continue speaking, but looked at Goethe.
Goethe sighed and took what Old Follett said: "So, Aranza, that old fox won't kill you. The killing of the Hero King's child is not a small matter in the family, but in the entire human territory. Then
An old fox wouldn't dare to do that, so if I think about it from my perspective, the best way to deal with you at the moment is to make you make some big mistakes and kick you out of the family."
At this point, Goethe's turbid eyes enveloped Aranza deeply. He paused and then continued: "Aranza, just now, if you really killed Him, then at this moment, you may have been killed.
Kick out of the family and no longer be a member of Ryan. My own children and the children of the King of Heroes, that old fox Alsis, have never hesitated to make such a choice."
"Well, I will pay attention to these in the future." Aranza responded. To be honest, in his childhood, when he was an ignorant one year old, if he could not pick up the memory fragments of his parents in the depths of his mind, I am afraid he would have forgotten them.
As for Aranza, she spent her later years in the company of Aunt Cecilia and Jessie until she recently met Cyril, Dolores and Silas.
To Aranza, the Lane family is just a name full of depression and boredom. If she has any expectations for it, it is her sister who is still in this family.
Aranza changed his sitting position to make himself more comfortable. He reached out and touched the hair of Silas lying beside him. The restless thunder wolf was obviously a little impatient with the conversation between the three of them and was rubbing it boredly.
Touch the floor.
Aranza changed the subject and said to old Follett and Goethe: "Grandpa Follett, well, and the old man, what should I do next?"
