"Alexander," Edward looked at the man dressed as a gentleman in front of him, and couldn't help but feel puzzled. Logically speaking, if this person really wants to get some benefits, after laying a good relationship foundation with Lance, he seems to be convinced. It's the best way for his brother to coax himself.But this person was still standing in front of him, confronting him like this, Edward couldn't help but have more doubts, he squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Alexander, and said softly, "I can kill you right now."

This was said without any concealment, and it was all true.On this land, the Duke of Edward is the only king of the land. It is different from the centralization of power in Asia. For a grand duke like Edward, even the emperor mostly only wins them over. They are in the territory, and all rights are with the emperor. Same.

"When I came here with little Lance, I was ready to be executed by you." Edward's threat did not make Alexander sway, he looked at Edward, looked directly at him, and said seriously, "Maybe you I thought I was harboring evil intentions, but the reason I have been doing this is to win for my brother the respect he deserves, if you love him, please give him the honor that a duke's lover should have."

"...I'm here to protect him, he's not just my lover." Edward looked at Alexander, it was very strange, he actually felt that the man in front of him who had chased away little Lance was not lying, he frowned, I just wonder if he has overlooked something. Although his little administrator is a gentle and kind-hearted child, he is not really an idiot. If Alexander had no absolute reason, Lance would not suddenly be so friendly with him.

Before Edward had time to think about it, he heard Alexander's neither humble nor haughty voice, softly said: "Not just a lover? What do you mean, you love him? But you don't give him any honor and recognition, even though he is covered with yours." The family crest... people who are ready to move will still think that he is your pet."

Edward was questioned.He was silent for a moment, and then said: "...you came to Black Swan just for this?"

This is a chance for Edward to borrow a donkey from Alexander to go downhill. He admits that he has always been too afraid of losing, like a person who has nothing and suddenly has a treasure, and he doesn’t know what to do. Before appearing, what Edward thought was to hide his angel so that he would not have any chance to be harmed, but Alexander reminded him that it would be unfair to little Lance.

But with such an idea, Edward planned to discuss it with Tang Feiliu later, just because of this, the person in front of him was willing to take the risk of offending him to speak for his younger brother, and as a reward, Edward was willing to give him a little sweetness.

One person's guard is never enough.This has nothing to do with being strong or weak. Everyone has their own blind spots. For example, Edward, because he is too afraid of emotions that he cannot control, he has never had time to notice these aspects, but at this moment Alexander saw them.

For Edward, the anger disappeared, but he was filled with joy - he didn't want to be provocative by some people one day to confirm Tang Feiliu's identity and status.

Tang Feiliu doesn't like things like balls, and it seems to be a kind of useless social interaction that is very incomprehensible to modern people, but in this era, it is an important means for lords and nobles to exchange political opinions and express loyalty, that is to say, In the future, Edward will inevitably be unable to escape large and small balls, so what should he do... Should he hide little Lance in the castle forever? !

Then, the nobles must feel that the Black Duke has no lover around him, and they will arrange all kinds of love affairs for him out of good intentions or any ideas, and even recommend pillow seats... This kind of thing is not only troublesome, but also if it shakes the mood of little Lance... …

Edward's thoughts were disturbed, but this was a problem he would solve with Tang Feiliu later. He asked Alexander, but Alexander shook his head and said softly: "...Dear Your Excellency, as you can see, I happen to have enough money, enough I live with my younger brother, and under your protection, the territory is becoming more and more prosperous... I don't ask for anything from myself, the only thing I want is that my brother who I have worked so hard to find is safe and sound..."

"Of course, if one day my younger brother becomes a victim of criticism from others, I don't mind writing to my friend who traveled with me in the past, accepting his kind invitation to me, and dedicating myself completely to the gods from then on..." Alexander He bowed and saluted, stood up and looked at the Black Duke seriously, and said threateningly, "Lance is my favorite brother, the wish entrusted to me by my father when he was dying, my lord, I respect you, and I dedicate to you Loyalty and wealth...unless you deprive me of what is most important."

Edward immediately understood what Alexander meant. He looked at the young man in front of him and asked softly, "Do you know people from the temple?"

In this era, only the temple can compete with the power of the secular world.Although the temple is declining day by day, it is only because they are immersed in material and money, and there are fierce internal strife. Alexander said that, obviously his friend is not only in the temple, but also has a certain status. He is implying that What?Does it imply that he dared to stand in front of Edward because he had something to rely on?

Seeing Alexander nodded slightly, but did not intend to explain in detail, although Edward had doubts in his heart, he did not intend to waste time here. He said softly, "...that's mine."

That wasn't Doug's treasure, the kid was surrounded by thorn-hugging snakes now, he belonged to the Black Duke.

After Edward finished speaking, he stopped discussing with Alexander. The people he sent out to find the details of Alexander would come back soon, and there would be a clear answer to those things and Alexander's attitude by then.

Before that, Edward only wanted to do one thing-to teach an important lesson to the children who didn't come home on time.

He pushed open the door, and Tang Feiliu, who was restless outside the door, immediately showed a big smile when he saw Edward coming out. His smile was even a little flattering. He obviously felt that Edward's aura was different from usual, and he took the initiative to say: "Edward , what are you and brother talking about?"

"Talk about what you should go home on time." Edward opened his arms and whispered to Tang Feiliu, "Come here."

Tang Feiliu thought blankly, didn't he ask his servant to send a message to Edward not long ago, telling him that he would not return to the castle tonight?Looking at the pitch black sky outside, Tang Feiliu said, "But it's getting dark..."

Although the road down from the castle has now become a concrete road, it is still very wide and much closer, but riding a horse in the dark is not like a carriage, except for the moonlight, there is no lighting at all, and you can only follow the direction of the horse. Walking is still more dangerous.

However, while he was talking, he still walked into Edward's open arms. Such an obedient attachment made Edward feel much better. He held Tang Feiliu and sat on his arm, and while hugging him out, he said: "It's okay, the moonlight is very bright tonight, we can slowly enjoy the moonlight and return to the castle."

Before Tang Feiliu could speak, he only had time to yell, "Brother, I'll go back first!" before being carried away by Edward, without any time to continue talking.

But Dan, the valet, sent the Stewarts away, turned around and opened the inner room, and saw Alexander sitting on the seat in the restaurant rubbing his stomach, his face was pale, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Dan was taken aback, Alexander smiled wryly, and said, "It's okay, just help me to rest for a while..."

Confronting the legendary Black Duke was not an easy task. He had been mentally prepared for a long time, but when facing his anger, Alexander expended all his energy to keep himself from showing timidity. meaning.

However, as an elder brother, this is what he should fight for for his younger brother. Whether it is a minor noble or a great noble, the disparity in status is the most terrifying... Alexander was most afraid of this, because during the years when Lance disappeared, he once Indulge in lore and legendary events.

In the process of searching, Alexander realized the cruelty and horror of the temple. Many people who looked completely normal in Alexander were burned alive just because of a little heresy... People who fell in love, then were abandoned, and finally hanged...

Isn't Alexander afraid of Edward?

I'm afraid that only his stupid younger brother can't see the bloody smell on that lord's body at all. Anyone who has seen blood can understand the horror of that lord.

But he is the only one in the whole world who has the right to stand up and do something for the stupid Lance...

Alexander closed his eyes, Dan and the servants didn't dare to disturb, they put away the things lightly, and let Alexander rest slowly.

On the other side, on the way Tang Feiliu was brought home by Edward, he thought about the recent events seriously, and couldn't help asking: "Edward, is there any misunderstanding between you and my brother?"

"Why do you think so?" Edward asked Tang Feiliu softly.

"Let me tell you, don't misunderstand my brother, he is very good..." Tang Feiliu was a little nervous before, he thought his brother didn't like Edward, just like modern times don't like to lure his son out He is the same as the elders in the cabinet, but now he thinks of the atmosphere between Edward and his brother, no matter how he thinks, he feels that not only his brother has a problem with Edward, but Edward seems to have a problem with his brother too? !

Tang Feiliu didn't want the two people he loved most in this era to dislike each other when he didn't know it. He hurriedly wanted to explain, but just as he started, Tang Feiliu suddenly understood the crux.

He started talking immediately, but didn't know how to continue.

... Tang Feiliu thought about it carefully. It is normal for Edward to feel distrust of Alexander, because although Edward has never asked him about his past, it is possible that Edward already knew in his heart that he was driven away, so this will He and his brother reunited after a long absence, but Edward didn't know it!He must still feel that his brother is up to no good!

Tang Feiliu was confused immediately, he wanted to say something but he didn't know what to do.Because of this matter, his elder brother urged him ten thousand times, saying that this matter should not be told to anyone, including the Black Duke... No, especially the Black Duke!

But if he doesn't make it clear, Edward can't really let go of his brother; but if he makes it clear, he must first strip away his own background!

Tang Feiliu was immediately confused. He liked Edward, he really liked it, and that kind of liking was accumulated with the two years of getting along with them and the details. It was the trust and love accumulated over time; was he afraid?Of course he was also afraid... Tang Feiliu thought for a while, before returning to the castle, he suddenly said softly, "Edward, can I trust you?"

"Yes." Edward paused and replied softly.

"Even if I'm not an angel...I'm probably a heretic in the temple's heart?" Tang Feiliu hugged Edward's waist tightly in fear. His whole body was wrapped in Edward's cloak, and his voice was indistinct, but still let him Edward heard the content clearly.

Edward grabbed the rein of his beloved horse. He seemed to feel the trembling of the man in his arms. He pulled off the cloak worriedly, and saw the pale, blond child inside, looking at him timidly, as if trying to wrap himself up to avoid danger. small animals.

"Lance, do you know? In fact, I thought about many things on the way back." Edward looked at Tang Feiliu, and instead of asking him what happened to him, he said it softly because after returning, the two had a series of incidents Things, but I have no time to talk about my mood in the future, "I am afraid that I will hurt you. I am called a devil by the temple. I shouldn't have the blessing of angels... Don't rush to deny me, little Lance, you don't even know yourself How wonderful."

Edward carried Tang Feiliu off the horse, hugged him gently, and walked all the way to the castle along the moonlit road, and said softly as he walked: "I thought on the road, I should leave you, I should give you wealth and territory , let you live happily, that place can’t be too far, let me see you, so as to comfort my lonely soul; that place can’t be too bad, with your delicate constitution, you can’t live in an uncomfortable place ...I have thought about it a lot, and in fact, on the way back, I haven't thought about the result until I return to the black swan and hold you in my arms."

Edward's voice was very low and distant, his voice was magnetic, and the tail was slightly lowered, with a vicissitudes but mysterious taste, Tang Feiliu felt that even the fear just now was almost forgotten.

And Edward obviously recalled the day he saw the child in the castle garden, who removed all the delicate flowers and planned to plant garlic, and his naughty clothes were all stained with mud.And the servants obviously couldn't control the little guy after he left, so they could only prepare black tea and snacks in the corridor, ready to let Master Lance get tired of playing so that they could replenish their strength at any time.

At that moment, the death in the dark imperial city, Charlie's dying roar, Emperor Josephine's smug smile and dangerous temptation...all of them seemed to be captured by the light at the moment the blond child appeared. The darkness that was illuminated instantly vanished with hissing screams.

Edward thought of the moment when he hugged the child, and selfishly settled one thing in his heart—even if the fire burned his body, even if the gods descended and wanted to bring back his child, even if the body was burned and turned into bones... Then his hands that had turned into bones would grab the child tightly, even if they turned into ashes, they would wrap around his body and land on his hair.

"...So, you don't have to be afraid of me. No matter what you are, you belong to me." Edward kissed Tang Feiliu's hair softly, comforting Tang Feiliu softly, with a gentle smile on his face.

...Brother, are you consoling or threatening? ? ?

Tang Feiliu's goosebumps jumped up from Edward's "comfort". He was stunned for a while before he digested Edward's "confession", or to be precise, it was a threat.

But anyway, after spending so long with Edward, he has become more and more used to the duke's strange confession from time to time. He thought about it and said softly, "Brother drove me away because... because it wasn't me..."

Tang Feiliu is actually still afraid. Can people in this era accept all this?Did he really have to say all this?

But he knew, he wanted to say it.

He wanted to gamble.

The author has something to say:

Yesterday I saw that my brother didn’t dare to fight with the duke. Europe is very cruel in this era, but their history is also very interesting. I wrote that the maid killed the queen, and the emperor and the countess had an affair. recorded.

In my opinion, the way they treat love is absurd and weird. When the epidemic was epidemic, they called this disease a love disease... You can experience this intoxicating style of painting.

And if there is a situation like Lance and Alexander in the family, Alexander, as Lance's elder brother, will actually be despised if he doesn't come forward. Is this also a manifestation of popular chivalry?There is also the meaning of maintaining family glory in it, and the status of lovers in history is not the same as ours, and their status as lovers is also very subtle. If you don’t fight when you are favored, you will die if you come down... But think about it Even being a queen was killed, it was not easy.

It is also because of this that Edward said that Lance is not a lover. Edward actually has plans, but his struggle period has not passed, so he has not written there yet.

Of course, there will be risks in this, but in fact, based on the Duke's reputation and the importance he attaches to Lance, if Alexander does not stand up, the Duke will really despise him.

... I don’t know if I made it clear. I don’t seem to be talking about such an interesting history, but if you are interested, you can read "Ignorance Changes History" and "Minimalist European History". Very rich.

The truth of history is inherently complicated and seems to be covered by a veil, and I specifically set up a distorted political system, culture, and economic development. Many of them are just for everyone to laugh, and they can’t be taken seriously. Just be happy with the judges.
