"It doesn't matter, as early as more than ten years ago, your mother did the same thing as you, but the result is the same as you are now, without any change."

"If you think you're better than your mother, try it."

"Maybe I should teach you another lesson. Freedom is the privilege of the strong. The weak can obey the domination of the strong. This is the truth in the world. Whether you like it or not, you have to accept it."

After listening to the Duke's words, the girl was silent for a moment. Then, she suddenly strode up to the Duke, and then met the Duke's eyes. When the eyes of the two intertwined, a firm voice sounded in the restaurant,

"Let's make a bet~~"

At this moment, the girl stood upright in front of the Duke, like a green pine rising from the ground. At the same time, the light in her eyes was becoming more shining than ever before.

"You can't keep me in this ridiculous cage!"

"Five years!"

"Within five years, I will definitely break free and leave this ghost place."

"Besides, I will leave here with an attitude that you can't stop!"

Chapter 31 29. Routine

"Master, is this really good?"

After a long time, watching the girl leave, the butler, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke to his master with a worried look on his face,

"Excuse me, it's really not wise for you to agree to Miss's bet just now."

"Besides, with Miss's character, I don't think she will abide by it......"

"I know." Hearing the butler's advice, the corners of the Duke's mouth curled up slightly, and before the butler finished speaking, he waved his hands indifferently,

"Katerina is my daughter. Although we haven't been together for a long time, I still know her very well. Everything she does now is just to stabilize my strategy."

"Hehe, that is a cunning and bold child, how could he be bound by mere promises."

"As long as she finds any chance, she will run away from me desperately."

At this moment, after listening to the Duke's speech, the housekeeper couldn't help but widen his eyes, his eyes were full of doubts,

"Since you know everything, sir, why did you agree to the lady's bet? You even promised to break the lady's magic seal?"

"You are very aware of Miss's ability. She is still very dangerous without magic. If Miss recovers her ability to cast spells, those of us who stay by her side may not be able to see her at all."

"Hehe." Regarding the doubts raised by the steward, the Duke smiled calmly,

"Karbas, I know you have a lot of questions in your heart. You can't understand why I did this. This is mainly because you know too little about the Azure Bloodline, and you don't understand the power of the Azure Bloodline."

"During the Dark Era, the Azure Bloodline has always been called the Sage's Bloodline, because the successors of the Azure Bloodline are often able to directly observe the root of magic with the naked eye, thus making themselves extremely powerful."

"I don't know how far that child can do now, but I can be sure that a mere magic seal can't restrain her at all."

"Instead of letting her spend time and energy on meaningless things like how to unlock the seal, it is better to take the initiative to unlock the seal for her to reduce her vigilance."

Having said this, the Duke shook his head slightly, looking at the butler whose worry still remained in his eyes.

"Karbas, don't worry about these meaningless things. Katerina is a smart child. She knows what to do in her own best interest. She knows the current situation better than anyone else. At least before making sufficient preparations, she Will not try to escape from the Duke's Palace."

"In addition, the most secure shackles in this world have never been magic, nor are they made of metal, but the most sincere feelings between people--love."

"Only a chain made of 'love' can make those who yearn for freedom stay in the cage willingly......"

At this point, the Duke closed his eyes with a hint of emotion, and then, a sigh of complex meaning resounded faintly in the dining room,

"Don't worry, I have experience in this area......."

When the Duke's voice fell, Karbas originally wanted to say something, but after realizing that his master's mood suddenly became depressed, he quickly gave up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade. In order to take care of the Duke's mood, he changed the topic decisively ,

"Okay, sir, I understand, everything will be done according to your orders."

"By the way, master, what should we do about the matter of the Marquis of Aaron? Yesterday, the Marquis of Aaron sent another letter, saying that he wanted to invite the master and his wife to go to Aaron's house to reminisce about the old days."

"what do you mean..............."

"Hehe, reminiscing about the past~~" At this moment, after hearing the words of the butler, the Duke, who was still immersed in negative emotions, chuckled lightly.

"That guy from Wisno, he's protesting against me. Anyway, on the matter of Katerina, I'm really sorry for the people of Aaron's family. It's me who failed his sister. Let him go as he pleases." .”

"Karbas, I'm going to take my wife to Port Cross this afternoon. You are responsible for making arrangements."

"As for the children, they will stay at home. It is not suitable to drag these juniors into the matter between the elders..."

The next moment, before the Duke finished speaking, the door of the dining room was suddenly opened, and then, a figure dressed as a servant rushed in, and before and after approaching the Duke, he saw the servant reporting anxiously to the Duke. road,

"Master, Ms. Maria asked me to inform you that there is an emergency in the mansion. Just now the eldest lady broke into the second lady's room suddenly, and no one can stop her!"

"And the eldest lady drove everyone out. Now there are only the eldest lady and the second lady left in the room. Ms. Maria asked me to ask you for orders. What shall we do next?"

After listening to the servant's report, the Duke narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. After a moment of silence, he did not immediately respond to the servant's inquiry, but turned his head and said to the steward beside him,

"Karbas, revise the instruction I just made. Now you go and prepare the vehicle immediately. I plan to take my wife and set off to Port Cross."

After giving the order, the Duke looked back at the servant in front of him, and then he said calmly,

"Tell Maria, let the children handle the matter between the children themselves, as long as it doesn't endanger their lives, don't bother, everything will be discussed when I come back."

.................................................. ...

The time went back to 10 minutes ago, and the girl who had just finished confronting the duke was holding a bowl of oatmeal bread and walking happily on the way back to the bedroom.

As she was walking, the girl stopped slowly as if she suddenly remembered something, and then she asked suspiciously to Celia, the exclusive maid who was following her all the time,

"Hey, Celia, I always feel that I have forgotten something out of good intentions, please help me think about it."

Hearing the girl's inquiry, the maid responded calmly,

"According to the princess's etiquette standards, I think you just forgot to say goodbye to the duke when you were leaving."

"It's not this!" Facing the maid's education, the girl took a bite of the bread in her hand, and then waved her hand impatiently.

"That old man, you can do whatever you want, if you have the time to say goodbye to him, I might as well have a better relationship with my sister..."

"By the way... sister!" Finally, remembering the things she had accidentally forgotten, the girl's eyes lit up suddenly, and then she asked the maid next to her with a puzzled face,

"I always felt that something was wrong just now, and now I finally figured it out. Why didn't I see my sister when I went to the restaurant just now? Didn't it mean that today is a family gathering? Then why didn't she come?"

At this moment, facing the girl's question, the maid's figure paused for a moment, and after shrinking her pupils, she responded calmly,

"Sorry, Miss, I don't know the reason. I just arrived at the Duke's Mansion yesterday. If you want to know the answer, I can ask other people for you now."

"......No need." Regarding the maid's proposal, the girl hesitated for a moment, then shook her head with a frown.

"I'd better go and have a look by myself, I always feel a little uneasy."

After all, the girl raised her foot and walked in a certain direction. Seeing the girl's fast-moving back, Celia, the maid following behind the girl, first made a gesture behind her calmly, and then also He quickened his pace and followed.

After some twists and turns, the girl who learned where Diana was from the servant came all the way to her bedroom.

And just arrived near the door of the bedroom, the girl was surprised to see that a group of servants were surrounded outside the door of the bedroom, and almost every servant's face showed a worried color at this moment.

Seeing this, the girl who suddenly felt something was wrong, went over to Dang Lian, grabbed one of the outermost servants and asked,

"Why are you all blocking the door? What happened?"

Hearing the voice of inquiry, the servant who was grabbed by the girl's clothes couldn't help being stunned. After seeing the girl's identity, the servant subconsciously wanted to salute the girl, but he didn't have time As soon as he moved, he was stopped by the girl.

"Okay, don't waste time, tell me, what's going on?!"

At this moment, for some reason, after hearing the girl's question, the servant couldn't help but hesitate for a long time, as if this question was something taboo, but in the end, he still answered the girl's question with some reservations,

"Reporting to the Eldest Miss, the Second Miss has locked herself in her room since last night, neither refusing to go out nor to dress up, and she didn't even eat breakfast."

"No matter how much we persuade, it's useless. The head maid, Maria, is trying to find a way."

"What's going on?!" After listening to the servant's answer, the girl stared, and then continued to ask,

"It's fine, why did Nana do this? Did something happen?"

"This..." This time, facing the girl's doubts, the servant did not answer, but just looked at the girl with a troubled face, as if there was something unspeakable.

After seeing the servant's procrastinating reaction, the girl who had lost her patience resolutely ignored him. After pushing him away, the girl walked straight towards the door of the bedroom.

At this time, the girl's arrival quickly attracted the attention of others, and the helpless servants quickly saluted the girl after seeing the girl's arrival. One of the leading maids seemed to want to say something, but the girl Ignored everything, just bypassed her and walked straight to the gate.

After knocking lightly on the door, the girl's voice sounded outside the door,

"Nana, it's me. I'm here to see you. Open the door."

After the voice fell, there was no movement in the room for a long time, until the girl couldn't help but wanted to speak again, a weak response came from the other side of the door,

"I don't want to see you, you go~~"

At this moment, hearing the response from the room, the girl's eyelids suddenly twitched, and after blinking a few times, the girl took out a thin metal wire from her waist. , and then while stuffing the wire into the keyhole of the gate, he pretended not to hear clearly and said loudly,

"Nana~, Nana~, can you hear me?"

"I'm going to come in. If you don't speak, I will take it as your default!"

At the moment when the voice fell, there was a crisp sound from the keyhole of the bedroom door, and then, under the watchful eyes of the stunned servants, the girl opened the door neatly and walked in.

"Don't come here!"

As soon as she walked into the room, the girl heard a scream that seemed to be suppressed, and when the girl looked along the source of the sound, the first thing that caught her eyes was a gorgeous big bed covered with a quilt , the central part of the quilt is bulging high, observing its outline, it is obvious that someone is hiding inside.

Seeing this, the girl sighed softly, and then slowly walked to the bed and sat down. After patting the bulging quilt, the girl said soothingly,

"Nana, what's the matter with you, can you tell me about something that bothers you?"

"I don't like you, you go!"

Facing the girl's reassurance, a muffled cry came from the bedding, and the girl couldn't help raising her eyebrows again.

"Nana, are you sure you want me to go?"

"Then I really left?"

After finishing speaking, the girl stood up from the edge of the bed and made a gesture to leave, but regarding the girl's actions, the raised part of the bedding on the bed visibly shook, as if the people inside were getting into a tangle, and finally, the people in the bedding The man still gritted his teeth and whispered,

"you go!"

"Go quickly, I don't want to see you!"

"Well, as you wish, I won't bother you." When such hurtful words came out from the quilt, the girl seemed to be hurt, and quickly responded in a sad tone, Shortly thereafter, there was a sound of footsteps from near to far in the room.
