23. The fiancée is coming
Perhaps sensing the search in Gorando's eyes, Jack continued: "The first Duke Amphilos was the founding father of the Fergar Empire, and the idol of all knights and even nobles. ”
"Those who have always bore the surname Amphilos have died on the battlefield if they do not die. The Ferga Empire was able to have its current territory thanks to the Duke of Amphilos' Palace. ”
As he listened to Jack's words, Golando stared at a portrait of a young man on the wall, and he smiled slightly when he heard the words "indispensable".
Is it a big deal? I am afraid that the high merit will be regarded as a thorn in the side of the current emperor.
If His Majesty the Emperor really has a grudge against the Amphilos family, there is an emperor before and a judge later, and the Duke of Amphilos' Mansion is roasted on a fire.
Seeing Golando gazing at the portrait of the youth, Jack said, "This is what the current Duke of Amphilos looked like when he was young. ”
"Looks like the Knights of Orwin." Golando said.
Ronoye was probably more like his mother.
Dinner was served in the airship, so Golando went to the guest room and went straight to bed.
The smell of incense in the futon, the calming effect in his nose, and the sound of the waves in his ears made Gorando fall asleep quickly.
He slept until noon the next day, when Golando woke up with the sun rising.
Changing into a new set of clothes hanging from the coat rack, Golando walked out of the room sleepily.
He touched the hall outside with his memories of yesterday, then asked a waiter for directions to the restaurant, and when he arrived, he drank the still warm cream clam soup.
Golando casually eats some toast and sandwiches, and is invited by Greenty to Ronoye's study.
Ronoye invited Gorando to his study for nothing else, but he was worried that he would run around the mansion and see something he shouldn't see.
"Good morning, young master." Golando greeted him in a lazy voice, and casually picked up a cup of tea on the table and drank it.
"It's noon."
Ronoyer's eyes did not take his eyes off the book.
Golando didn't correct himself, but sat down in his chair.
Ronoye sent the waiters back after changing the tea, and then he pointed to the bookshelf behind him with his chin and said, "If you are bored, you can read the book." ”
Golando didn't appreciate it: "I want to go to the beach and play." ”
Ronoye refused: "It's dangerous to go to the beach at this time, it's at high tide. ”
Golando pursed his lips and cocked his legs to stare at Ronoye.
After observing for a long time, and almost counting the curls on Ronoye's sideburns, he asked, "Little master, why don't you go home for spring break, but come to this kind of place far away from the city?" ”
Silvia Island is good for everything, but it's too sparsely populated.
Is Mofironoye very socially averse?
Sure enough, as Golando guessed, Ronoye said nonchalantly: "I like to be quiet." The aristocracy also had many bad habits, such as the social months of February and March, when they would hold salons and cabarets at night, and they would not stop to go home until the sun rose in the morning, which seemed to me ridiculous. “
He paused and said, "But that's just one reason. ”
Golando subconsciously asked, "What about the other reason?" ”
Ronoye put down the book, his eyes darkened.
Seeing this, Golando thoughtfully waved his hand: "If it's inconvenient, don't say it." ”
Ronoye shook his head and said slowly, "It's okay to tell you, I told you before that my birth made my mother a sickly physique. ”
Ronoyer's tone was more serious than when he was reciting hymns in the academy.
"Even though no one in my family blames me, and my father and brothers have always loved me, it's hard not to think about it...... My fathers and brothers have a grudge against me because of this. ”
It is also for this reason that there is a gap between him and his father and brothers.
As he grew older, the estrangement deepened, so much so that he and his father gradually had nothing to say, and the conversations with his brothers always ended in nothing.
"I want to be a man who makes my father proud, but ......"
However, he was fledgling and limited in his abilities, and he was too far from what he expected of himself...... Too far.
There was a sad look in Ronoye's eyes.
A hard-working person can never compare to a genius who only uses a little heart.
He didn't believe this until he met Gorando Harrison.
Golando's appearance is like a malicious joke played by God, they are like their opposites, every detail is completely opposite - in life, Golando lived a hard life, and in study, Ronoye tried his best.
So, God is very fair.
When you reach the extreme in one way, you are doomed to achieve nothing in the other.
"Why do you want to be the one who makes your father proud?" Gorando's words interrupted Ronoye's thoughts.
"Though your father gave you life, you did not live for your father."
"I am a descendant of Amphilos." Ronoye retorted, "Nature lives for the Amphilos and Fergar empires." ”
Golando smiled sarcastically, "You are wrong, anyone in this world should live for themselves." ”
Ronoye was amazed that Gorando would say such a thing, and he was stunned.
"Maybe it's because I didn't have a father or a mother when I came here, in short, a person's life belongs to him."
Golando sat up straight, and his figure looked much taller.
He stared at Ronoye motionlessly, and said in a low tone: "You don't need to make your father proud, just make yourself have a clear conscience." ”
"No matter what contribution you make and what glory you win in the future, it is for yourself and not for others, and if you keep thinking about repaying your father or serving your country, these thoughts will only drag you down and slow you down."
In Golando's eyes, Ronoye was always shackled by the chains of his family and the nobility.
Careful consideration of everything and striving to do the best in everything is too tiring to live like this, and Golando does not approve of this way of living.
In his previous life, he didn't understand this truth until he died, and the beginning of this life was not as good as a pig and a dog, so at this moment, Golando just wants to enjoy his short life to the fullest, and live every day happily without regrets.
Glory, fame and fortune are all false, money and food can make him feel happy, that is a good thing, on the contrary, those that may limit him are bad things, his worldview is as simple as that.
"Of course, this is just an ignorant civilian opinion, you can take it as a joke and not take it seriously."
Every time he said something similar to Ronoye, Gorando would add it.
Ronoye was pulled back to reality by this sentence.
"Gorando, as you say...... What should I do? ”
Ronoye didn't know why he would ask a civilian for help, but at this moment he inexplicably believed Gorando.
No, maybe not from this moment, from a long time ago he trusted Golando.
The golden sunlight happened to shine through the stained windows on the flannel table, the air was floating with fine dust debris, and the tide outside the window rolled white waves, and it was a good day today.
"Hmm...... In the afternoon, let's go hiking in the forest. Golando said as he looked up at the scenery outside.
Unfortunately, this proposal has not been implemented.
Because there is a new guest on the island of Sylvia.
The pure white airship docked at the island's airport, it looked slender and petite compared to the private airship of the Amphilos family, and at first glance it was the car of a noble lady.
The owner of the pure white airship was helped by her maid to the land of Sylvia, and fresh white roses were inserted in her bright golden hair.
Miss Angelina of the Greenwin family liked white the color white, and this rumor had long been circulating in the social circles of the upper class nobles.
Angelina gently lifted her skirt and walked gracefully like a butterfly towards Ronoye, who had received news to pick her up, and when she saw that Ronoye was really only eight or nine years old, the white lily-like lady covered the lower half of her face with a fan and smiled coquettishly.
"It's exactly as I remember, Ronoye." She affectionately called the name of the little master.
Ronoye's face showed no extra affection, but as a gentleman, he took Angelina's outstretched hand and imprinted a kiss on the back of her hand.
"Who is this......?" Angelina noticed Gorando and asked, tilting her head.
At the mention of Gorando, Ronoye's brow furrowed.
"Golando Harrison, the 'first day' of the Royal Academy of Magic."
He opted for a more distant, introduction.
Angelina probably didn't know about Gorando's contract with him yet, otherwise she wouldn't have been so calm when she saw them.
Angelina also stretched out her hand to Gorando, and asked in a sweet tone, "Is there a family named Harrison on the continent of Ferga?" ”
Ninety-nine percent of the students at the Royal Academy of Magic are children of nobles, and Angelina's question is really unintentional.
And Ronoye's face had turned ugly.
Golando was also embarrassed for a moment, but he quickly knelt down on one knee and kissed the back of Angelina's delicate hand in the same way that Ronoye had just done, and then replied: "There is no nobleman named Harrison on the continent of Ferga, I am just an ordinary commoner. ”
Angelina looked at her and repeated in surprise: "Civilians? ”
Golando stood up, chuckled, and said, "Yes, civilians. ”
Suddenly, Ronoye's voice interjected: "Gorando's talent is the wealth of the empire, and the status of a commoner is only temporary, and sooner or later he will be knighted by His Majesty." He turned to Golando again, "Angelina has been studying at St. Lily's Girls' College since she was a child, so she doesn't know much about the outside world. ”
Golando looked at the young master with interest, and the smile on his face deepened.
Is this excusing Angelina, or is it relieving him?
