Unlike the first two distinguished guests who left voluntarily, the meeting with Olibat and others was interrupted.
Because the atmosphere here is more relaxed and pleasant, time passes by accidentally, and the waiter outside the door has to remind - the dinner is about to begin, please prepare to take your seats.
It is worth mentioning that after the separation, Altina showed some abnormal emotions.
When I asked, I found out that it was because of guilt for having kidnapped Alfin and Elise.
Although this kind of emotional fluctuation is a little late, it is also proof of Altina's growth. Not only Rean, but the entire Class VII is happy for Altina.
Tida and Kurt, two people who usually don't interact with each other, have a little more relationship - Olibat didn't go to Liebel alone at the beginning, Kurt's brother Mulla also went with him as a protector and monitor, and Tieda
Da is also relatively familiar with it.
Just because Kurt and Maura were nothing alike, Tida didn't think about it at all, even though she knew that Kurt's surname was Fandel.
As he walked through the corridor and returned to the 34th floor, Rufus happened to come out of the governor's office and stopped Rean, saying that he wanted to talk alone.
To be honest, Rean doesn't really want to talk to Rufus right now.
This happened before I came back. At that time, I had all kinds of questions, but Rufus rambled in a big circle but only revealed a little bit of valuable content at the end.
Now that the question has been solved, he doesn't want to waste time with Rufus. When staying with the chief of the "Iron-Blooded Sons", Rean will always worry about whether his disguise will be seen through.
However, since Rufas had extended the invitation, it was not appropriate to reject it rashly. He could only let the students go back first and follow Rufas back to the governor's office.
Unlike his harsh words before coming back, this time Rean didn't take the initiative to speak.
The barbed sentences can vent some emotions, but they have no effect on Rufus. On the contrary, explaining and resolving them will waste more time.
It is better to be calm and watch the changes.
"If there are students here, we can't talk in depth."
"really."
"This is my first opportunity to talk to you alone."
"That's right."
"Actually, there are quite a lot of topics we can talk about, including things about Thors, things about unworthy brother Jussis, and things about 'him'."
"Yes."
"..."
"..."
The scene is a little cold.
There is no way, the dialogue is like this, and we must cooperate with each other to continue.
Now let's talk about Rufus alone. Rean is the yes man, so it's strange that the atmosphere is good.
I'm not afraid of you being thorny, I'm just afraid that you won't say anything.
Fortunately, Rufus had been involved in the social world for more than ten years and would not give up when encountering this little difficulty and continued.
"I thought you would have many things to ask me."
"There are indeed many things I want to ask." Rean did not hide it, "but more than one person has said that you are an impeccable person. If you don't want to say it, I'm afraid no one can get the answer from here, so I choose to listen to you.
"
"Being impeccable is too exaggerated." Rufus waved his hand, "But compared to that time, you are really much more mature and calmer."
"After all, in the past nearly two years, I have also entered adulthood from a boy." Rean knew that Rufus was referring to the final act of the civil war.
As soon as Crowe died, Osborne came out and announced that everything was under my control.
Rean's mentality was shattered at that time, and he picked up Osborn's collar. The first person to stop him was Rufus, and then he learned Rean's true identity.
"This is growth." Rufas said with emotion. "Only by truly experiencing it can you understand the pain and draw nutrients from it."
"Is this also the case with His Excellency the Governor?"
"Of course. It's not just me, Major Rector, Major Claire, and Miriam. You and Jussis should be confused about why I became the chief of the 'Iron Sons', and it just so happens that
I'll tell you when I have some time."
"As you can see, I was born in the Elbarea family, one of the four most famous families. I have a family background that everyone envies. I have been called a noble son since I was a child. I have stood in the lives of many people since I was born.
A height that cannot be reached even at the end.
However, this does not mean that I am happy and do not have any worries. On the contrary, being born in such a family, I have endured much more than the average person, especially the pain, some of which are not even allowed to be spoken out.
I can endure it by myself."
This is not an act of pretentiousness or idle moaning.
Li En has been in contact with the children of the four famous families and knows a lot of things hidden behind the glamour.
The situation of Rufus is even more special. He is not the biological child of Helmut, the contemporary Duke of Elbarea, but the son of the duchess having an affair with Helmut's brother.
But because the blood of the Elbarea family also flows, and the status of the duchess is equally noble, and he is afraid that the matter will be spread out and damage the reputation of the Elbarea family, and other considerations, Helmut can only recognize Rufus.
As the eldest son, he really treats him as his own son.
When he first learned about this, Rufus was grateful to his adoptive father. However, when his younger brother Jussis was brought home and saw the unequal treatment between the two brothers, Rufus became suspicious.
Jussis was Helmut's biological child, but because his mother was a commoner, he was looked down upon by both Helmut himself and his own mother as a duchess.
And after having formal contact with Jussis and knowing what a good child he was, Rufus became more and more doubtful - are the so-called blood, the so-called nobility, and the so-called class really so important?
Combining the various ugliness and decay of the aristocratic class he had seen since he was a child, as well as the historical process of the countries in the Western Continent, Rufas came to a conclusion-the aristocracy will be finished sooner or later.
However, Rufus' identity was destined to be tied to the aristocratic class, a ship that was not far from sinking. He felt helpless, but had to maintain his dignity.
He felt that the life of aristocrats was so empty, boring and boring.
This state lasted until one day, when Emperor Jukent III made an exception and promoted Gillias Osborne, a commoner, to serve as prime minister. This prime minister was determined to plan reforms and was soon regarded as the number one enemy by the aristocracy.
An idea came to Rufus' mind.
He instigated his untalented adoptive father Helmut's mercenary hunting group "Ellengum" to attack Osborne, in order to test the strength, foresight and vision of the empire's first civilian prime minister - whether he could see through it.
Who was the mastermind behind this attack?
As a result, "Erungum", who was slightly famous in the world of hunters, was defeated. Except for the regiment leader Vulkan, the entire army was wiped out.
The leader of the regiment, Vulkan, traveled around for revenge, and later joined the "Imperial Liberation Front" formed by Crowe, became Cadre V, and served the "Noble Alliance".
And because of Osborn's fake death, Vulkan felt that his wish was over and he didn't care about his own life or death. After being defeated by Rean, he gave up the chance to escape and died together with the machine he was piloting.
The irony is that in the end, he didn't know that he was just a chess piece that was not taken seriously by anyone. The mastermind and the murderer were all alive and well.
Time goes back to twelve years ago, not long after the destruction of "Elungum", at a hunting party on the outskirts of the imperial capital, Rufus met Gillias for the first time through the introduction of Rean's adoptive father, Theo Schwarzer.
·Osborne.
Osborn saw through Rufus' true face at a glance and said to him: "Are you so bored that you want to play with fire? Because the empty life bound by family background is too boring.
Rufus, who was just a teenager at the time, felt deeply shocked. Osborne's size, skills, and abilities were all overwhelming, and he was much stronger than Helmut.
This person must be the one who can defeat the aristocracy, Rufus was sure, and ignited the fire in his heart for the first time in a long time, sweeping away boredom and boredom.
"In this case, I regard you as my 'real father' and will one day surpass you."
Osborne accepted Rufus and said to him: "It is true that children want to surpass their father, so let me look forward to that day."
From that day on, the "Iron-Blooded Sons" were officially established, and Rufus, the first to join, became the chief, codenamed "Emerald City General".
Then, "Scarecrow" Lecter, "Ice Girl" Claire, "White Rabbit" Miriam and even Cedric joined one after another, and finally gained the prestige it has today.
PS: The author’s own understanding of Rufus’ plot has been added. After all, the original plot only mentioned a few points. Rufus confirmed the noble pills, Rufus’s troubles were seen through, and Rufas knew that he was not his biological son. As for the
I didn’t mention when I picked up Jussis or what my mental journey was. It was the author who put it together myself.
