Chapter 515
"Master Weijia, you absolutely have no idea what a beautiful young lady Lily has become now. I'm ashamed to say that she didn't learn much witchcraft during the two years of studying in the White Tower, but she really knows how to dress up."

The aristocratic man with brown shawl hair smiled and poured a cup of tea for Vega, his face was full of joyful smiles, he looked like a child.

He talked endlessly: "Lily and her uncle are probably in the study right now. I'll bring them over in a moment. Master, you drink tea first-this is the tea I made for you, just like you asked before , with chocolate paste and charred pandan leaves. Speaking of which, I haven’t seen it in five or six years, and I don’t know if my skills have declined..."

"—so, old friend."

Weijia took a sip of the special black tea that exudes a strong aroma, and took a deep look at his old friend, the contemporary Patriarch of Ketugeya, and interrupted, "What kind of trouble have you encountered?"

"Is there any trouble... In my territory, can I still encounter any serious trouble?"

Angus Solanth Ketugya, the well-known viscount, scratched his hair without any aristocratic demeanor, and smiled silly.

However, Vega just shook his head slightly.

"Your mind is disturbed, Angus."

He took another sip of black tea, and glanced at Angus lightly: "The chocolate hasn't completely melted, and the pandan leaves are already smelly... Aren't you proud of your tea making skills? I remember you cooked The taste of tea, this is not your level."

"...I'm really sorry for the poor hospitality. Maybe I had a headache yesterday and I'm not in the mood today..."

"No, I don't mean that. Angus."

Although he was not stingy with negative comments, Wei Jia finally drank the black tea until there was no drop left, then put the tray and cup back on the table before continuing to speak, and said softly: "I watched you and Alan grow up .I know you two brothers. If you hear that I am coming, Alan will definitely make black tea with you... With his rigor, he will not let you have such a wrong chance. So, Angus , You never mentioned to Allen that I was coming... You know very well that I will not refuse your invitation. "

"……Feel sorry."

"No need to be sorry, Angus." Vega's expression became more serious, but his tone became more flat, "What happened between you and Allen? Is there anything we can't say between us based on our relationship?" ?”

"No, Master Vega."

Having said all this, Angus could only explain in a low voice: "This time it has nothing to do with Allen...Maybe something is wrong with me."

"What's the matter? I don't remember teaching you to talk like that."

Master Weijia said displeasedly, and stretched out his hand to stroke his neatly groomed white beard: "Speak frankly, don't imitate those people, you are the contemporary Solans, don't be a That group of fake aristocrats who know nothing but bureaucratic accents and slogans... You must not forget your ancestral precepts."

"Never forget. Live for the people, die for dignity - I always remember this sentence."

Angus smiled wryly, "It's better to say, that's why I'm bothered."

"...you and Allen had a disagreement?"

Vega asked sharply.

"That's right," Angus nodded heavily, "That's a very...big difference."

"Last night, Allen had a quarrel with me... about the statue of His Majesty Saint Laurent."

He said, licking his chapped lips.

"Alan said that the Marquis is going to use sterling silver and emeralds to make a big statue of His Majesty Saint Laurent," Angus made an exaggerated gesture with his hands, "it must be... about as big as it is. It's more than two meters high." statue."

"what!"

Vega was also startled immediately. He sat up straight and his eyes widened: "A two-meter-high holy elephant? Don't be kidding! Even Lord Marquis can't afford it!"

"I think so too."

Angus shook his head in distress: "Then, Allen told me that Lord Marquis is going to raise funds."

"Fundraising? It's tax collection!"

Vega shook his head in disappointment, his beard trembling slightly with anger: "How could he do this! Lord Marquis really did something wrong this time!"

"...However, Allen expressed considerable support for this."

The corner of Angus's mouth curled up mockingly: "Not only him, but also the kid from the Krisna family. Lord Marquis and his personal guards seem to be bewitched by the devil, and they are extremely determined. I I can't communicate with him at all..."

"No, you're right, Angus."

Weijia's brows were deeply frowned: "I know that the economy of St. Anger County can't support the construction of a two-meter-high sacred elephant. This is no longer a matter of wasting people and money...Damn it, why is the Marquis so reckless!"

However, after complaining, Vega immediately realized a problem.

"I remember you said...he has a strong will?"

Vega frowned and asked, "Who told him what? Alan, did he have any idea to tell you? Why don't you just call him out!"

But Angus just smiled bitterly: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't prevent you from meeting Alan. But now he is with Lily, let's wait for him to come out by himself... I don't think Lily is suitable to know about this .”

"Then did he mention, who told him what?"

"What you said..."

Angus was slightly taken aback, thoughtful: "Allen did say that giving the statue of Saint Laurent is itself a sign. And this sign can make St. Angus better than the whole Titan. Saint Laurent's support... But this kind of thinking itself is contrary to the family motto of the Ketugeya family, and I have to stop him. But I persuaded him for half a night, but he still didn't change at all, so I hesitated... ..."

"So you thought, talk to me first?"

"That's right," Angus admitted with a nod, "I suspect that maybe I'm too stubborn... After all, I can't force my thoughts on others, even if he is my younger brother. Otherwise, we What is the difference between the Ketugeya family and others?"

"Yes, it's your style."

Vega nodded appreciatively, and asked, "So, did Alan mention 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 that one is Esther, and the other is Paal... What, in short, it is a Suze name."

Hearing these two names, Wei Jia's pupils locked instantly!

His right hand was clenched suddenly, and it took a few seconds for him to slowly release it.

Angus looked at Vega in surprise.

At that moment, he seemed to see a bit of fear and hatred on the face of this old man who always had a gentle smile?

"Master, is there any problem with those two people?"

Angus asked immediately, his eyebrows were full of worry.

Weijia was silent for a long time, then lowered her head and replied in a hoarse voice: "...No, I hope I guessed wrong."
