The Defeated Dragon

“Young Master Levi and Young Master Lipton are at the Knights Academy, and Miss Levi La is accompanying the old lady to a comedy show in Coral City, not knowing that you will be here today, they will probably be back at noon. ”

Lewis leads Lester upstairs to Tulip Chamberlain.

Because the feast was not held today, all the members of the Order returned to their territories first to settle the affairs of their respective territories, and the day after tomorrow, 23 December, was the time for the feast. So Tulip Chateau is not very lively at this time, only a few hundred servants in the castle are busy.

Londo, Russell and Parise are not aristocrats, cannot go upstairs, can only wait downstairs.

“Young Master Liszt. ”

“Young Master Lister. ”

And the servants of Tulip Chamberlain, when they saw him, saluted him.

Shortly after, she passed the living room and saw Mrs. Marie drinking tea, listening to Deputy Housekeeper Silva's report, probably dealing with the Tulip Chamberlain industry.

“Ma'am, say hello.” Lister greeted with politeness, revealing a silk rush.

Mrs. Marie responded kindly: "Lister, how did you get here today? Your brother, sister and brother didn't return it. You should have notified me earlier so I could be ready.” The mistress Fan Feng, of course, is now the mistress of Tulip Chamberlain.

“Don't be prepared, I will stay in Tulip Chamberlain for a few days, today I just miss my father and brother so much that I came early. ”

“Oh yeah, you must have a lot to say to your father, go, he's in the study. ”

“Yes.”

Farewell, Lady Marie. By the time she arrived in the study, they had already opened it. A servant had already informed the Count that Lister was coming. There are not only counts in the study, but also several strangers, who can be judged to be Coral Island officials by looking at their outfits and standing positions in the study.

These officials are all held by small nobles.

From behind the desk, the Count looked at Lester and said to the officials: "Go home first, I will not leave you for lunch, I will have a feast. ”

“Yes, my lord.” Officials bid farewell.

At the same time, he greeted Lister: "Master Lister, long time no see. ”

“Hello.” Lester smiled and responded, he didn't know any of these people, he spent most of his adult life in Knights College, and he didn't really know who these officials were.

When the officer leaves, the servant also leaves and closes the door.

Goodbye Count, Lester's feelings are different - mostly it's hard to really build a relationship between a father and a son, the body is related, and the soul has nothing to do with it before. It is without prejudice to reconsidering how the relationship between the Count and himself is positioned in terms of interest and affection.

Simply put, Lester added a sense of identity to the Tulip family.

The predecessor was weak and liked to escape, so he felt like a little transparent and not valued by anyone. However, Lester came into contact only a few times and found some neglected details.

Nagging to see her own Mrs. Penelope, she actually cared about the grandson; Sister of the Second Class had been bullying Lester, but to say that she had not acted excessively; Greedy brother pointed more at Mrs. Marie and Lipton, not much at Lester.

Mrs. Marie and Lipton don't look like Lester, but the apparent calmness continues.

Just now, a brief conversation with Mrs. Marie made Lester feel that Mrs. Marie had become more intimate - perhaps knowing that Lester would not be mediocre in the future and would have to look back and see how to handle her relationship with Lester - even if she could not be close, she would have to be as close as possible.

And the most surprising thing about Lester is actually the Earl.

This powerful Sky Knight, Saint Lee William Tulip of the Wave Sword, is not as indifferent to his second son as his predecessor, Memory.

With a smile on his face, he measured Lester as the jade tree grew windier.

Reach out and tell him to sit down and talk.

……

His predecessor had always felt disappointed in himself. After all, at the bar mitzvah, he was divided into the most remote towns, and only four elves were given by the elves.

Compared to Levera's parting ceremony, the gap is 108,000 miles.

This time it affected the transferee Lister's feelings.

Thought the fact was that the Count did not value the second son, but he digested the memorial imprint of his predecessor, analyzed it rationally by adults, and felt that it might not be a simple disrespect - if it were true, it would have allowed Lester to become a quasi nobleman without even a title.

Many noble sons, this is the case, no land, no titles.

But the Earl gave him the Baron title, and the town closed the ground, just a little bit worse, less material compensation. Much less important than many noble sons.

Even, on the first outing after the partition, the Count brought his family to Flower Town for the holidays.

“I am afraid there is disappointment, after all I have placed high hopes… remotely and baroness, hoping to leave my predecessor so flat… After all, with the title, I don't have to struggle to fight on the battlefield. Small towns can sustain food and drink, but they can't form knight squads, let alone go to war. ”

Lister quickly flashed these thoughts in his mind, but he was not sure.

He's not very good at this part of affection.

“Father, when I received the news of your safe return, I quickly threw away the stones in my heart and was delighted to see you as usual. ”

“Makes you worried.” The Earl laughed, "This time the pioneering order ended in a hurry, and the battle was relatively cold. Fortunately, your brother experienced a transformation of war and matured a lot. ”

“Is everything all right with my brother? ”

“Yes, he is more sophisticated and steady now than he was in the past, and most importantly, he has built his prestige.” Nothing is more comforting to a father than to see his successor mature, "I heard from you as soon as I returned to Coral Island. ”

Liszt smiled.

The Count took out the fine red wine in the closet and poured himself and his second son a glass: “Celebrating news, so where's your drag? ”

“My servant takes care of it. ”

The Earl shook the bell and called the servant, and Lister immediately said, "Would you mind telling my servant to pull it over? ”

Servant's orders.

And the Count said, "Do you want to hear the story of the battlefield first, or do you want to talk about the development of Flower Town first? ”

“I want to hear the story of the battlefield first.” Lister said without any hesitation.

Surprised, the Count said, “Surely, a warm castle is an aspiration that binds people, and what the chicks need is a constant test flight... battlefield story, I'm afraid Livius will hold you for one day and one night, I won't tell you, let's play a game of fights. ”

The game is a primitive game of chess used to deduce military situations.

A thick paper shop with maps of the coastal areas of the Kingdom of the Eagle unfolds, symbolizing crystal sculptures of castles, knights and sky knights, one by one.

The game is ready to begin.
