[Devil's Law] When the Tulips Bloom

Du Wei, Gabriel, and officials from the Imperial Prosecutor's Office—a nephew of the old Munes, the finance minister of the Roland Empire, who also has a baronial title—went to Cote province together to announce the amnesty issued by the regent.It is worth mentioning that another reason why such a person was specially sent to go with him was that a long time ago, the granddaughter of the Chancellor of the Exchequer had a marriage contract with Gabriel, the second son of the Luo Lin family.The engagement before the fall of the Luo Lin family was naturally invalidated, but now that the Luo Lin family has recovered, and Gabriel has Du Wei, the red and purple Duke Tulip brother as his backing, and he himself is an extremely smart child, this engagement will naturally be renewed. Make sure.

As the carriage went south, both Du Wei and Gabriel were very anxious. Naturally, such a great event needs to be announced as soon as possible.Finally, after several days of rushing, they arrived at the Luolin family castle where Du Wei had lived for a year.Du Wei looked at the familiar building from a distance. Although the surroundings of the castle look much more depressed than before, this is still Luo Lin's house after all...

The carriage team entered the castle first, and the old butler Hill came out to greet him. Du Wei and Gabriel got out of the carriage one after another, and saw the old butler with an unconcealable excited look on his face—it seemed that the knights who went ahead had passed on the good news. told them.As soon as the old butler finished saluting to them, Du Wei saw the serious Earl Raymond and the beautiful Countess standing not far away.

Du Wei took a step forward and said with a slight smile, "Father, mother." It seems that the potion he prepared is indeed very effective. Although his father's complexion does not look as good as before, at least he is in good spirits and does not look sick. The appearance of being almost terminally ill in the previous life is much better.

After all, Gabriel is a teenager at heart, so he ran towards his mother directly, his smiling face seemed a little more lively. The countess hasn't seen her two sons for a while since Gabriel went to the imperial capital. The son was scanning them back and forth with loving eyes.

As for Earl Raymond, he had already met with Baron Cope, and then Baron Cope directly announced the regent's amnesty in public.After reading it, Earl Raymond's eyes burst into astonishment. He took a deep breath, looked sideways at Du Wei who was standing next to the Countess, and said, "I never thought that my Luo Lin's family would have a resurrection." One day." After a pause, he continued, "Thank you, Du Wei! Otherwise, the Luo Lin family will be ruined in my hands, and I'm afraid that even if I die, I won't be able to forgive myself."

Baron Cope smiled and said, "Raymond...you and I are old acquaintances. This time, it is due to Duke Tulip! Speaking of which, you and I are family friends. Greetings from Uncle."

Earl Raymond smiled, "Well, Baron Cope, please help me convey my thanks to Lord Munes."

Baron Cope said again, "It's just a pity, old friend, your official title cannot be restored. I think you can understand this. Apart from issuing a pardon, I have one more thing to do this time, which is about the earl of the Luo Lin family. As for the ownership of the title, please decide on the heir to the title. When I go back, I will bring it back and report it to His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, as well as the royal family... After all, the Luo Lin family is also a branch of the royal family." The so-called The lineage of the royal family refers to the fact that the Luo Lin family had married many times with the royal family in the early years.

That's what Baron Cope said, but there will be no other heir except Gabriel, it's just a formality.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Earl Raymond then politely took Baron Cope to the upper room to rest.The four members of their family divided into two groups and went back to their rooms. The countess and Gabriel had a lot to say, and Du Wei and Count Raymond even had important things to talk about.

There were only Earl Raymond and Du Wei in the study. Earl Raymond looked at Du Wei carefully for a long time. Du Wei calmly let his father examine him. This time his father was in good health. Assuming the position of head of the Luo Lin family, it will be more and more convenient for him to get help from the Luo Lin family.Of course, the premise is that he needs the full support of his father, well, this is not difficult for Du Wei to operate.

"Du Wei," Earl Raymond said, "I didn't need you to come in person to promulgate the imperial decree, but since you came back, there must be other important things."

Du Wei nodded and said directly, "Yes, father, I do have important matters. This time I came back, one is for the amnesty order, and the other is to seek the full support of the family."

Earl Raymond smiled, and his attitude seemed very indifferent. He said, "It's nothing. You are my son, Gabriel's brother. Even if your surname is no longer Luo Lin, you are still a member of Luo Lin's family. You want to come from the family Whatever support you get, just say it directly, there is nothing I cannot promise.”

"Thank you, Father."

Earl Raymond waved his hand and did not continue to discuss this topic. Instead, he continued to look at Du Wei with a scrutinizing expression. After a moment of silence in the study, Earl Raymond said, "Du Wei, I remember you are also 16 years old this year. It’s time.” Du Wei already knew what Earl Raymond was going to say, so he really heard him say, “It’s time to decide to get married. Even if you’re not in a hurry, you can make an appointment first and hold an engagement ceremony. I’ll talk to your mother After that, your marriage is your own decision, it doesn't matter who the other party is or what status, as long as you like it, your mother and I will not object to marrying in."

Du Wei sighed in his heart. He understood what his father meant. He must have been influenced by the gossip in the imperial capital—this kind of news should have spread throughout the empire—so he was in a hurry to get him engaged. Said the loose requirements of choosing people according to his own wishes... It is a pity that he is destined to disappoint his parents. "Father……"

"Don't say it first," Earl Raymond interrupted Du Wei, he said, "Du Wei, you are now the Duke of the Empire, and you are deeply appreciated by the king. The future is naturally bright. And you are from our Luo family. The Lin family, I'm not boasting, our Luo Lin family can be regarded as the top nobles of the empire, you no longer need to sacrifice your marriage for your future, you can choose a wife you like and satisfy, this is the common expectation of your mother and I."

"Father, I'm sorry." Du Wei still could only shake his head and refuse, "I don't want to get married."

"...Because, regent, government, king?" Earl Raymond almost squeezed out the words from his throat, his face was gloomy and terrifying, his eyes were even bloodshot, and he stared straight at Du dimension.

Du Wei felt that his father seemed to have made a mistake. His father's tone and attitude seemed to be that Chen was forcing him. God knows that if Chen really had that plan, Du Wei would probably dance happily. "Father, you misunderstood." Du Wei tried not to irritate Earl Raymond too much, "This is my own idea."

Earl Raymond's mood at the moment probably doesn't even know how complicated, entangled and depressed he is, he looked at Du Wei and said, "...Du Wei, since we've talked to this point, let's make it clear. Count Raymond felt that the next words were a bit difficult to say, but he still gritted his teeth and continued, "Is there any special relationship between you and the regent?"

The ambiguous rumors about the Prince Regent and the Duke of Tulip that were raging in the imperial capital naturally spread very quickly. When the Earl and Countess of Raymond first heard such rumors, they thought it was ridiculous, but they didn't think much about it. The slander is more like an unwise revenge by Du Wei's opponents.But what they didn't expect was that there were more and more rumors, more and more details, and there were facts that seemed to be used to support... The Countess talked with Earl Raymond worriedly for a long time, and of course she He didn't want his son to have any ambiguous relationship with the future emperor of the empire, and even when he heard that Du Wei was going back to his hometown, he specially found several beautiful maids and planned to give them directly to Du Wei as gifts!Who made his eldest son not pay attention to this aspect since he was a child, and he is so self-disciplined that he doesn't look like a nobleman at all.

However, Earl Raymond suddenly remembered that on the day of the coup d'etat, Du Wei had been standing by Prince Chen's side, following Prince Chen in a completely protective attitude... After Earl Raymond thought of this detail, he felt that his whole body was in turmoil. It was not so good that after seeing Du Wei, he didn't talk about anything else at all, and directly opened his mouth to cut into this topic.

Du Wei blinked, his father's question was really straightforward. "Father, if I say that the person I like happens to be His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, so I don't plan to marry a wife... What do you think?"

Earl Raymond's face turned completely dark. He looked at Du Wei, the eldest son who was the most sorry and the least aware of himself, and now he had given him a serious shock. He felt that he had never heard such a thing in his life. Absurd words, "You, Du Wei, you..."

Seeing that his father seemed to be furious, Du Wei quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it over. Earl Raymond took it and drank it all. His expression could only be described as gnashing of teeth, and he said, "How could you... You are a smart one. Although the private life of a nobleman is chaotic, no matter how chaotic it is, you can’t easily get involved with the royal family! What’s more, that person is the future emperor of the empire! You..." Earl Raymond scolded Du Wei, neither beating him nor beating him. , Said that in the end, he was depressed and aggrieved, "Does the regent know what you think?"

"Your Highness knows very well." He has confessed so many times, can he still be unclear?

In other words, the regent's acquiescing attitude?Although Earl Raymond was a little overwhelmed by Du Wei, his qualities as a politician over the years allowed him to quickly regain his judgment.Earl Raymond's first thought was that the regent planned to use this to control Du Wei, but this was unreasonable. Faced with power and status, people's hearts were unreliable and feelings were even more unreliable. A wise person like the regent would not be so stupid. It is not something a wise king would do to have his subjects involved.

Then, it is the regent's treatment of Du Wei... Earl Raymond's face darkened even more. This thought almost made him fall into hell.

The author has something to say:

Congratulations to the player Du Wei for successfully refreshing his father's worldview and achieving the achievement of "Confession of True Love, Scaring Father"~~~~
