Chapter 2 [If words fail, force will fail] (Part 1)
The day of triumph.
Completely opposite to the lively atmosphere in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, there was silence in the Earl's Mansion.
There was no grand banquet, no celebration ceremony, not even a simple cocktail party.
After leaving the dock, even the originally prepared ceremony of a thousand soldiers drawn from the expedition fleet to march into the city to meet the citizens for review only left the deputies to sit in. After the earl hurried back to the house, he declined some
The visitor's external excuse is: The Earl, who has been in the military for several years, needs some private time to soothe the lonely soul of his beloved wife at home.
Although it disappointed many people who had painstakingly prepared to flatter the empire's new hero, this high-sounding excuse immediately gained everyone's support.
At this moment, in the mansion of the Earl's Palace, the triumphant hero of the Imperial Navy was looking at his biological son.
His eyes were deep, melancholy, and complicated.
If he hadn't firmly believed in his wife's integrity... Count Raymond's first reaction when he saw the child in front of him was: Was this really his own seed?
Because this child's appearance is really very different from mine!
The men of the Luo Lin family have always been famous for their majestic and majestic images! The standard image of the men of the Luo Lin family should be tall and burly, with a broad chest, thick arms, a square face, a straight nose, and a heroic man.
That’s right!
At least that's what Count Raymond himself is like. He is tall and tall, and his appearance is extremely outstanding among the imperial aristocracy. When he was young, he was a famous great man among the imperial aristocracy.
But this little one in front of me...
Although he is only three years old, for the Luo Lin family, which has always been famous for producing strong men, he is too fair and thin... Well... I heard that this child got seriously ill a month ago, maybe
It's probably because of this that my body is a little weaker.
The future earl heir, Duwei Rollin, who was only three years old, looked at his father with an indifferent expression. He did not cry loudly and powerfully like other children of the same age, which made the earl very dissatisfied.
According to tradition, children who cry louder are stronger!
The child in front of him was too quiet. He sat on the bed, put his hands on his knees, and stared at himself with his head raised, as if he was curious and scrutinizing.
The earl thought that he must have seen it wrong.
How could a three-year-old child have such complex emotions in his eyes?!
While the Earl was depressed, Duwei Luo Lin's mood was undoubtedly more complicated than his.
The beautiful and mature countess, with her motherly heart and her actions a month ago, had successfully softened Du Wei's heart.
But this "father" suddenly jumped out...
Huh, he just came out of nowhere!
"He...really can't speak yet?" The Earl's expression was very serious. He glanced at his wife beside him. When he saw the tears in his wife's eyes, he couldn't help but feel soft. He remembered that he had been away at sea for three years.
I neglected my wife at home. Even when a woman was in labor and needed her husband's comfort the most, I couldn't be by her side. And the only son became like this. We can't blame this poor woman, so we couldn't help but soften our tone.
He said a few minutes: "Okay, dear, the child can't speak. We will ask the most knowledgeable teacher in the empire to teach him, and he will always speak. It's just that his body is too weak. Our Luo Lin family has always been distinguished by martial arts.
Based on the empire, my son will naturally follow my path and become an empire general in the future. It’s not okay to be so weak... Well, he is already three years old. I think it is time to consider finding an enlightenment teacher for him.
Now, a weak body will naturally become stronger after a few years of training... What do you think of Alpha? He is my most loyal guard captain, with strong martial arts skills and loyalty to the family. I think starting from next month, I can
Let Alpha start teaching Duwei some basic exercise methods."
When she heard that her hard-working son had to receive training at such a young age, the countess couldn't help but shed tears in her beautiful eyes: "But... he is still so young."
"It's because his body is too weak, so he must train his body early! Otherwise, how can he inherit the martial arts of our Luo Lin family!" The earl, who has been in the military for many years, is very determined on this point, and he does it with a wave of his hand.
A decision was made.
The next day, after meeting with His Majesty the Emperor in the palace and accepting the third Imperial Medal of Martial Arts, First Class, which His Majesty the Emperor personally awarded at the celebration ceremony, His Majesty the Emperor announced in public that the distinguished Count Raymond would be promoted to the rank of Imperial Military Medal.
The Vice-President of the General Headquarters is now the second-ranking military official in the empire.
After conversing with His Majesty the Emperor in a separate room for a while, Count Raymond offered to remove his title of first-class general of the Imperial Navy and hand over military power. Then he came out of the palace and once again refused the congratulations from his colleagues.
After receiving numerous invitations to banquets, and even invitations from several major religious leaders in the Temple of the Goddess of Light, I politely declined, and then I hurried back home.
The son of Count Raymond of the Luo Lin family is an idiot. This is no longer a secret in the imperial capital.
Seeing the hint of melancholy on the earl's face even during the ceremony, many colleagues who are friendly to the Luo Lin family could not help but feel some sympathy for him. Of course, some political opponents secretly gloated about his misfortune.
It's inevitable.
At home, the Earl faced his son again. The difference was that this time there was no beautiful countess by his side. Standing next to him was Alpha, the loyal captain of the guard who had followed him for nearly twenty years.
, a first-class swordsman of the empire, with a "Flowing Flame Sword" in his hand, and is recognized as one of the top swordsman masters in the imperial capital.
For some reason, Count Raymond always felt that he didn't like his son. He felt that the look in his eyes was not just dull, but seemed to have a hint of resistance. But he also
I feel that I am probably overthinking: What can a three-year-old child know? Moreover, I am on an expedition, and I have never held my child once since he was born. It is natural that he is a stranger to me.
The captain of the guard first knelt on one knee in front of Du Wei's bed with the standard etiquette of a family minister, then picked up Du Wei with both hands, took off all his clothes, and meticulously wiped Du Wei's body from head to head with one hand.
He was pinched all the way down to his feet. During this process, Du Wei struggled. He seemed uncomfortable with being touched like this by a man, but the power of the first-class swordsman of the empire was not something he could resist.
"Huh..." Alpha's expression was serious. He sighed, put down the earl's heir, then bowed his head and saluted the earl, then stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the earl, I..."
"Alfa, you are the most trustworthy person around me. Don't worry too much. Just say whatever you have to say." The Earl sighed.
"Master Du Wei's body is very weak, and he seems to have some... congenital deficiencies. His bones are slender and his heartbeat is noisy. His physique is a little worse than that of ordinary people. If he wants to learn martial arts in the future, I'm afraid..." Alpha bit
Gritting his teeth: "I'm afraid it won't be much of an achievement."
"What do you think?"
"I think that learning martial arts is not a good choice for the young master. It is better to see if he has any talents in other fields."
After Alpha Guard Captain finished speaking, Lord Earl's face darkened.
