Skeleton King
Chapter 190 Whose heart is darker?
Ace and Miss Rose sat in the pavilion in the garden, and the Attlee family thoughtfully gave them a space to be alone, but sometimes they were too considerate.
Ace personally poured black tea for Miss Marquis Rose, and it was not the first time they met. Ace took the lead to break the deadlock, "I thought you would reject this engagement, but I didn't expect to see you in the Attlee family."
Miss Marquis Rose has beautiful red hair, like a flame, and she looks a lot quieter than when Ace met her last time.
Miss Rose was noncommittal to Ace's words, "I did not reject this marriage contract." She was also very frank, "Of course, not many people know about it. My father also loves me very much, I don't think it is my shackles."
Ace has seen the profile of Miss Marquis Rose from Nou. She is 2 years older than Ace and is 22 years old this year.
The Marchioness of Ross has many suitors, and she will go out with them.White Rose is the mother of Miss Marquis Rose. Although Miss Marquis Rose's marriage contract was made by herself, she is also known as a model of morality and is not a perfidious person. But look at her former best friend——Caroline, Princess Mary, you can imagine her discipline to the Marchioness of Rose.
The Marquis of Rose would never forbid her daughter from contacting other outstanding noble youths, because, "Mother said, the more people I know, the more I will know that you are the best." Miss Marquis of Rose said.
"It's not because I'm Caroline's son, is it?" Ace said sarcastically, "Frankly speaking, I didn't receive much education from Caroline."
"Probably not." Miss Marquis Ross raised her eyebrows and said unceremoniously, "Maybe mother wants to say that you are the most handsome."
Ace smiled slightly, and suddenly thought of what Bill once said, saying that he is a good man, he can only reason in a country ruled by law, and he can only act like a devil in the realm of death and chaos.Ace didn't know how the Marquise Rose thought of him, but he knew that because of his status as a scholar, even if Caroline and the Marquise Rose had written a marriage letter back then, it was impossible for the Rose family to force him.Besides, Ace didn't think he was a sweet potato either.
Ace's lack of response made Miss Rose very angry.
But compared to the powerful Princess Muse and Princess Eugenia of the Finger Empire, and the humble and extremely intelligent Angelica, Miss Marquis Ross is really nothing.
Miss Rose Marquis had to lose out in Ace's effort to raise her spirit.
Miss Rose Marquis said: "I have two unlucky relationships. To put it more simply, I met scum. My two lovers are both noble, but have no inheritance rights. They want to marry me, After my father died, he and I jointly managed the fiefdom of the Ross family. But they showed affection to me on the surface, but they had other lovers in private."
Aristocratic ladies always have many suitors, and they can also find the right marriage partner.But for them, love is more luxurious than gold jewelry and silk.
Ace said: "I don't think the Marquis of Ross and the Marquis of Ross will force you to marry."
Miss Marquis Rose said: "But the Rose family needs an heir."
Thinking of Baron Attlee's words just now, Ace felt a little uncomfortable. No one likes to be remembered. "So what does Miss Rose mean?"
"I want to have an heir." Miss Marquis Rose's long red hair was gently blown by the wind, and the sound of the bell was crisp, her voice was not loud, but still clearly audible, "I want to find him a handsome father , and then pray that he looks like his father." The Marquis Rose had suffered enough from her appearance, but she didn't want her child to repeat the same mistakes.
"If Miss Marquis Rose is willing, she can go to Rose Castle to attend a few balls," Ace said.Rose Castle has no shortage of handsome men or women trying to climb up.
"I don't like trouble. People in Rose Castle always mean trouble." Miss Rose Marquis said: "I don't want to get married now either. I can't imagine that the person I will spend the rest of my life with is someone I don't like."
Miss Marquis Rose's parents are famous fairy couples in the capital of the Pansy Empire, so it's not surprising that she has such thoughts.But this matter has nothing to do with Ace at all. Ace can't help giving bad ideas to Miss Rose Marquis, and there is another person who fully meets the requirements of Miss Rose Marquis, "What does Miss Rose think of Sykes? Sykes Richter, the former head of the Royal Guards, I remember you know each other, as far as I know, Sykes will return to the imperial capital soon."
Just now Miss Marquis Rose said that Sexstone meets all the requirements, handsome, gentle and affectionate, not greedy for the power of the Marquis of Rose, and because of his own strength and connections in the imperial capital, he can also help the Marquis of Rose.Moreover, these two people have a playful mentality, and they couldn't be more suitable.
Miss Rose looked at Ace in surprise. Unexpectedly, Miss Rose said: "I thought about it, Sykes is indeed a very gentle lover. But he told me that he would never be here anyway. Leave an illegitimate child outside, even if this child can inherit the title of the Ross family. It was Sykes who told me about your engagement with me when you did not come to the imperial capital. He suggested to me that you might be a good candidates."
Ace: ...
When the Pansy Empire mission was sent to the Finger Empire, Ace and Sykes got along day and night.But Sykes never mentioned that he left such a hole for Ace in the imperial capital.He didn't want to fulfill his obligations, so he pushed the marriage contract to his younger brother?
Ace didn't think that the magic is one foot high, and the road is one foot high. The damage move he thought of, Sykes has already used.But they didn't know each other at that time, and Ace couldn't blame Sykes.
Miss Rose's voice was full of curiosity, "Sikes has a good relationship with my family. He said that my mother was kind to him in the early years. But neither the mother nor Sykes said anything specifically. Ace, you know ?"
Ace gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know very well. Did Sykes try his best to promote our engagement?"
"Yes, I didn't intend to come to the Attlee family to find you. But Sykes helped me a lot before leaving the imperial capital, and I promised him to meet you." Miss Ross Marquis felt that there was something tricky about it. The behavior of kicking her to the other party like a football made her a little annoyed. She said: "Sikes said that Mrs. Caroline is very much looking forward to their children getting married, and Sykes wants to fulfill her wish. But Sykes has been struggling all these years." How could Sikes have known about it, even if my mother and Lady Caroline were not at Enchanted Island?"
Ace scolded Sykes treacherously in his heart, and even tried to cover up for him, "Sykes lived in the imperial capital for a few years when he was a child, and then went to the magic island."
The Marquis of Rose blinked her eyes, and decided in her heart to go back to the Marquis of Rose to find out these things.
Ace thought for a while and said, "Miss Marquis Ross, you are still young, so you may not meet someone who is like-minded, so you don't need to worry about the heir right now. I am not familiar with Marquis Ross, but I have a little understanding of your mother." Understand, in the eyes of the Marquis of Rose, your happiness is much more important than the Marquis of Rose's mansion."
The Marquis Rose smiled and said, "Well, I don't have to worry about you coveting my property. But if I don't come to see you today, my mother will invite you to the Marquis Rose's mansion again."
Ace made a promise, "I will clarify this matter with the Marquis Rose, and I will definitely not embarrass you."
……
Dragon Island.
Sykes didn't know that Ace hated him so much that he wanted to throw him to the Marquis of Rose's mansion.Sykes was full of ambition at this time, and he felt that this was the most memorable moment in his life. He felt countless silver dou qi emanating from his hands, and the sea level around Dragon Island rose in blossoming anemone, It looks noble and gorgeous under the moonlight.
Sikes saw a silver fire, the fire of his soul.
The flame was originally the size of a candle, but now it was like a brazier.
An unprecedented tyrannical grudge emanated from Sykes' body and swept across Long Island.
The giant dragons that Sykes once considered invincible have also become evenly matched. Of course, this does not include the silver dragon Edward, and the golden dragon Norn not far from Sykes.
Although the golden dragon Norn is not yet an adult, even if Sykes breaks through the Juggernaut, he will feel a burning pain when he thinks of Norn.During this period of time in the secret place of Dragon Island, Sykes was often ravaged by Norn, which had already left him with a psychological shadow.
Sikes quite wondered why he should be required to pay the debt left by his brother.
Of course, if Ace knew what happened to Sykes at this moment, he would never regret, feel sad or feel guilty. Ace would only gloat and worry about whether Norn's little paw hurt.
Fortunately, Caroline has already returned to the world of death, and she can't see the situation where her brothers "turned against each other".
"Aw—" A dragon groaned outside the secret place of Long Island.
Sykes smiled. He saw a silver dragon with a head slightly smaller than that of Elder Edward appearing at the door of the Dragon Island secret place. Sykes said softly: "Alice."
Sykes left the secret place without hesitation, Alice circled down from the sky, it lay directly on the ground in front of Sykes, its vigorous wings naturally hung down, Sykes jumped directly onto Alice's back, He called again, "Alice." Alice turned her head and rubbed Sikes affectionately with her big head.
Then, Alice spread her wings and flew into the sky with Sykes.
After Sykes advances to become a Juggernaut, he can also fly with his fighting spirit.
However, the feeling on Alice's back is completely different. The clouds are close at hand, the wind is cooler, and the night sky is closer. Reaching out seems to be able to pluck the stars.Sykes couldn't help laughing out loud, and together with Alice's dragon chant resounded throughout Dragon Island.
"Aw—" At the same time, the giant dragon's long chants one after another resounded from the Dragon Island.
Sykes is the first dragon knight ushered in after thousands of years on Dragon Island, and all dragon families on Dragon Island are congratulating him.
Only Norn stood in the secret place of Long Island, silently and steadily looking at Alice and Sykes in the sky, his eyes were dark and deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.
……
The capital of the Pansy Empire.
Noou wore a golden mask on his face. He walked through a long underground passage and appeared in a huge, completely dark secret room.There is an oval table in the center of the secret room. Before Noou came, the round table was already full of people.
But without exception, all of them wore masks.They don't know each other, but because they belong to the same force, they appear here.
The Green family originally had a lot of power in the empire, and was later inherited by Nuoou.
After meeting Viscount Neumann in Green Castle, Noel took over the intelligence network of Ludwig IV. The existence of this intelligence network was unknown to Prince Nishimoto. From the Pansy Palace to the residences of the ministers, Then to the Palace of Finger, there are people from Ludwig IV.
Later, because Prince Xiben did not trust the Minister of the Interior, the power that originally belonged to the Minister of the Interior and the apparent power of the empire was also handed over to Nuoou.
However, each of these three intelligence networks has a separate person in charge, and the positions of many spies overlap.Whether it is to save manpower or improve efficiency, Nuoou does not intend to let them continue to work like this.
Nou has selected some of them. They may not be the most loyal, but they are definitely the best.They do not know each other's identities, but their information will be passed on layer by layer until it reaches Nou.
All they know is that the person they are loyal to wears a golden mask.
When Nuo Ou appeared in the secret room, everyone stood up and bowed to him without hesitation.
Noou sat directly on the main seat. This was their first meeting after he arrived in the imperial capital. His voice was deeper than usual, "Then, the meeting has begun."
Ace personally poured black tea for Miss Marquis Rose, and it was not the first time they met. Ace took the lead to break the deadlock, "I thought you would reject this engagement, but I didn't expect to see you in the Attlee family."
