[Rebirth] Warframe

Chapter 19 Engagement

Even if Kelsen had spent countless circles cursing Edmund in his heart, he still couldn't change his fate of being despised by the other party in reality.

After Moore and Edmund had a short moment of leisure on the terrace, they were called to the second floor by the housekeeper who rushed to find someone.Because the two walked through a relatively secret passage, not many people saw it.

At the beginning, Moore was a little puzzled. It was reasonable for the housekeeper of the Scott family to call his young master away. Why would he be summoned as a passerby?It wasn't until he went up to the second floor that he realized that things were not as simple as he had imagined at first.

Although Archduke Scott is almost an octogenarian, he still looks very tough.The most direct manifestation of this is that not only does the old man not need help when he walks, he even does not lose to the current young people.Some people said that it was the result of the old man being strict with him all his life; others said that even if he didn't mention it himself, even if he didn't mention it himself, the empire's pharmacologist would provide some longevity prescriptions for him to recuperate his body .

No matter what the purpose of those supernatural rumors spread, people's admiration for the old man will not change at all.After all, the contribution the old man has made to the empire in his life is obvious to all.Even, for the stability of the empire's borders, the old man sacrificed his only son, and sent the only blood left by his son to the forefront of the battle.

Such a fearless spirit of sacrifice not only made the old man's voice grow louder and louder in the entire empire in his later years, but also made many thoughtful people try their best to get close to and curry favor with him.

I have experienced a lot in my life, and the older Duke Scott is, the more he understands that if he wants to make this grandson who has made him proud for the rest of his life happy, he must try his best to keep those people with dirty thoughts and ulterior motives away from him. to separate himself from Edmund, and to choose for him a truly suitable companion.

The appearance of Moore Gary not only just met his requirements for the other party's cultivation and family background, but what was even more commendable was that Edmund, who had always disliked getting close to strangers, had a little inexplicable feeling towards him.

Until Moore relied on his own ability to win the No.1 in this year's mecha maintainer assessment, Grand Duke Scott realized that it was time for him to make a move.

"Thank you very much to everyone present for being able to come to this dinner in spite of their busy schedules. Here, I would like to grandly announce a happy event to everyone! My best grandson, that is, Edmund, will be here today. Witnessed by the Marquis of Daniel, Marquis Daniel Gary's son, Moore, held an engagement ceremony!"

After listening to the words of Grand Duke Scott, all the guests in the hall were silent for a few seconds, and then, led by caring people, applauded and blessed a pair of young people who walked down the stairs slowly.

Unlike Edmund, who had a calm face, when he went downstairs, Moore was almost walking mechanically under Edmund's leadership, and the corners of his mouth that seemed to be upturned were almost the result of him adjusting his face. The muscles on his body were squeezed out abruptly.

He had calculated thousands of times, but he never thought that his parents, without his knowledge, turned him into the granddaughter-in-law of Grand Duke Scott's family!He even heard about tonight's engagement banquet from the mouth of Grand Duke Scott himself at the last moment!

Is it because he is afraid that he will refuse, or is there another purpose!

Moore felt that his head was now covered with paste, and it was difficult to even do the most basic thinking in a short period of time.Fortunately, the only bit of reason he has now tells himself, he must not be impulsive, he must hold back, no matter what he has to say, he must find a place where there are no outsiders.It has nothing to do with the embarrassment of the Baker family. If such a scandal happened to Grand Duke Scott, he really couldn't imagine what kind of ending was waiting for him.

In a hurry, Moore could only temporarily convince himself in his heart that he should not lose the chain now, while trying to apply the common sense of communication learned in the Walker family in his previous life to today's occasion.

Standing on the other side of the hall, Smith, who had been keeping an eye on Moore, quietly nudged Daniel with his elbow and whispered to his ear, "That kid Moore, why is he completely out of state? Could it be that you didn't communicate with him before?" Is it clear?"

"What?! Didn't you say you were responsible for this matter? Why did it suddenly come to me again!" Daniel, who was a little too late to react, widened his eyes through the glasses, "No way, the two of us No one told him about it!?"

Daniel and his wife felt almost at the same time that their world-collapsed.

The mistake has already been made, and Daniel and his wife know it well, no matter how anxious they are now, there is nothing they can do to make up for it!I can only pray that the kid Moore will not think wrongly, and that the final result of the matter will not develop in a too bad direction.

Fortunately, Grand Duke Scott did not ask Moore and Edmund to do a lot of work on the scene in the second half of the banquet.The two of them only showed their faces outside for a while before they could go back upstairs to rest.Otherwise, Moore really can't guarantee whether the smile on his face will completely collapse after standing in the hall for a long time.

"You, why don't you seem happy at all? Is marrying into the Scott family a very unacceptable thing for you?" When there were only himself and Moore, Edmund asked himself Doubt in my heart.

"If you only found out after being brought into the auditorium that the purpose of being brought here is to get engaged to another person, how would you feel?" No pain in anyone's head.Moore knew that complaining to Edmund now would not solve any problems at all, but he just wanted to let him know that he was very disgusted with this kind of marriage that was facilitated to achieve a certain purpose.

"What?" Edmund resisted the urge to pick out his ears, and fixed his gaze on Moore's eyes, trying to find some trace of the other party's lying.It's a pity that in those clear eyes, apart from a sorrow that was so thick that it couldn't be opened, there was only a layer of faint water color left.Why does he feel that he can't understand the meaning of Moore's words? "What do you mean you don't know you're going to be engaged to another person until you arrive at the auditorium?"

"Literally." Moore, who still doesn't know how things turned out like this, also doesn't know how to explain his confusion to Edmund, "I only know that before leaving today, my father He brought me a brand new dress to attend the dinner hosted by Grand Duke Scott. How could a dinner turn into an engagement ceremony!?"

This process is really like a kind of irony, the irony of his indifference and ignorance of certain things.

Edmund also felt that his head was getting bigger!How come things are going in a weird direction and never look back?

"Then... this engagement ceremony..."

"Anyway, I'm going to work in the first war zone soon. According to the regulations, in the next three years, not only will I not be able to leave the war zone, but everything must be centered on the war zone... And, three years, whether it's long or not, It’s not too short to be short, and when I come back here, maybe everyone will forget about it.” Moore has decided since his rebirth that he will be single for the rest of his life, and the most important thing is to Improve yourself and seek revenge on Kelsen!Where will I let myself fall into another love affair between children.

Therefore, if there is a chance to reject it, Moore still hopes that Edmund will not waste too much time and affection on himself, and it will be more practical to find someone who is worthy of his status as the strongest man in the empire.He is but a nobody, is and always will be.

"You think so?" Although things deviated from the planned track, at least the result was not too bad, Edmund relaxed his body and let his body lean on the back of the sofa comfortably, "In any case, it's a done deal now , we can only take one step forward and see one step forward.”
