"Master Vega, you have no idea what a beautiful young lady Lily has become. It's embarrassing to say that she didn't learn much about witchcraft in the two years she went to study in the White Tower, but she is really good at dressing up."
The aristocratic man with brown shawl hair poured Vega a cup of tea with a smile on his face, looking like a child.
He kept talking: "Lily and her uncle are probably in the study now. I will bring them over in a moment. Master, please drink tea first. This is the tea I made for you, just as you asked before, with added
Chocolate syrup and fried pandan leaves. Speaking of which, I haven’t seen you in five or six years, so I don’t know if my skills have declined..."
"So, old friend."
Weijia took a sip of the special black tea that exuded a fragrant aroma, took a deep look at his old friend, the current head of the family of Ketu Geya, and interrupted: "What kind of trouble have you encountered?"
"How can there be any trouble... In my territory, what kind of big trouble can I encounter?"
Angus Solans Ketugya, the well-known Viscount, scratched his hair without any aristocratic demeanor and giggled.
However, Vega just shook his head slightly.
"You're upset, Angus."
He took another sip of black tea and glanced at Angus lightly: "The chocolate is not completely melted, and the pandan leaves are already mushy... Aren't you proud of your skill in making tea? I remember you cooked
The taste of tea, this is not your level."
"...I'm really sorry for the poor reception. Maybe I had a headache yesterday and am out of shape today..."
"No, that's not what I meant. Angus."
Although he was full of negative comments, Weijia still drank the black tea until every drop was left, then placed the tray and cup on the table again before continuing to speak and said softly: "I watched you and Allen grow up.
.I know you two brothers. If he hears that I am coming, Alan will definitely make black tea with you... With his rigor, he will not let you have such a wrong opportunity. So, Angus
, you never mentioned to Allen that I was coming...you clearly know that I will not refuse your invitation."
"……Feel sorry."
"No need to apologize, Angus," Vega's expression became more serious, but his tone became calmer, "What exactly happened between you and Alan? Is there anything we can't talk about directly based on our relationship?
?”
"No, Master Vega."
At this point, Angus could only explain in a low voice: "This time it has nothing to do with Alan... maybe there is something wrong with me."
"What's wrong? I don't remember that I taught you to talk like this."
Master Weijia said displeasedly, reaching out and stroking his neatly groomed white beard: "Speak directly if you have something to say, don't imitate those people who have nothing, you are the contemporary Solans, don't become
You must not forget the precepts of your ancestors."
"I will never forget. Live for the people and die for dignity. I will always remember these words."
Angus smiled bitterly and said, "It's better to say, that's why I'm troubled."
"...You and Allen have differences?"
Vega asked keenly.
"That's right," Angus nodded heavily, "That's a very... big difference."
"Ellen had a quarrel with me last night...about the statue of His Majesty Saint Laurent."
He said, licking his chapped lips.
"Alan said that the Marquis is going to make a large statue of His Majesty Saint Laurent out of sterling silver and emeralds." As he spoke, Angus made exaggerated gestures with his hands, "It should probably be...as big and over two meters high.
statue."
"What!"
Vega was also shocked. He sat upright and stared: "A two-meter-tall holy elephant? Don't be kidding! Even the Marquis cannot afford it!"
"I thought so too."
Angus shook his head in distress: "Then, Alan told me that the Marquis was preparing to raise funds."
"Fundraising? It's tax collection, right?"
Vega shook his head in disappointment, his beard trembling slightly with anger: "How could he do this! The Marquis really did something wrong this time!"
"...However, Allen has expressed considerable support for this."
The corner of Angus's mouth curled up mockingly: "Not only him, but also the boys of the Krishna family. The Marquis and his bodyguards seemed to be bewitched by the devil, and they were extremely determined. I
I can't communicate with him at all..."
"No, you're right, Angus."
Vega's brows furrowed deeply: "I know clearly that the economy of St. Angel County can never support the construction of a two-meter-high sacred elephant. This is no longer a matter of wasting people and wasting money... Damn it, why is the Marquis so reckless!"
However, after complaining, Weijia immediately realized a problem.
"I remember you said...he is strong-willed?"
Vega frowned and asked: "Who said something to him? Did Alan have any ideas for you? You might as well call him out directly!"
But Angus just smiled bitterly: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't stop you from meeting Allen. But now that he is with Lily, it's better to wait until he comes out on his own... I don't think Lily is suitable to know about this.
.”
"Then has he ever mentioned who told him what?"
"If you say that..."
Angus was taken aback for a moment and thought thoughtfully: "Alan did say that giving a statue to Saint Laurent is an expression in itself. And this kind of expression can make St. Angus County better than the entire Titan."
Saint Laurent's support... But this kind of thinking itself goes against the family motto of the Cthugya family, so I had to stop him. But after I persuaded him for half a night, he still didn't change at all, so I hesitated...
…”
"So you want to communicate with me first?"
"Yes," Angus nodded and admitted, "I suspect that maybe I am too stubborn... After all, I can't force my ideas on others, even if he is my brother. Otherwise, we
What is the difference between the Cthugya family and others?"
"That's right, it's your style."
Vega nodded appreciatively and asked, "So, has Allen mentioned who the person who told him these things was?"
"Alan did mention two names, but I don't know if they have anything to do with this matter," Angus tried to recall, "I remember one was Esther, and the other was named Parr...
Something like that, after all, it’s a Suze name.”
After hearing these two names, Weijia's pupils locked instantly!
His right hand clenched suddenly, and then slowly loosened it after a few seconds.
Angus looked at Vega in surprise.
At that moment, he seemed to see some fear and hatred on the face of this old man who always had a gentle smile?
"Master, what's wrong with those two people?"
Angus immediately asked, his brows filled with worry.
Weijia was silent for a long time, then lowered his head and replied in a hoarse voice: "...No, I hope I guessed wrong." (To be continued.)
