Dominate the world in three weeks?

The queen has issued an edict to announce the return of the Duke of Aldret in the empire. Due to the face of the royal family, the ins and outs of Terrence's disappearance have been attributed to the plot of gangsters, and all criminals have been punished.Such an explanation full of loopholes may only deceive the dull commoners. In fact, many nobles know that the investigation on this matter has not stopped.

In the face of another round of discussions, Terrence, the person involved, is the most irrelevant - I am afraid that no one else can understand the cause and effect of this except him.

However, Terrence himself is not inactive. The three who assassinated him will continue to investigate. Viscount Cusack is also planning to stir up trouble when the Queen is looking for someone to investigate. He really hates places like prisons. Viscount Cusack and his loyal but daring servant will always pay the price.Maybe it won't be long before Cusack City will change hands. As for whether it can really be taken over by Kantel, it depends on whether that man has comparable abilities.

Thinking of this, Terrence took a sip of the juice in his hand.

He is at the palace banquet now.

In order to welcome the little duke who "returned safely after suffering a lot", Her Majesty the Queen specially arranged this dinner, and all the nobles were invited to attend.

As the protagonist, Terrence was naturally favored by the nobles again. He is the only member of the royal family who has stood beside the throne since Queen White Pearl ascended the throne. Such a blessing even makes his age insignificant.

Terrence finally found a free space, and simply hid in a corner.After all, the host of the banquet was the queen, and Duke Pacino was also at the banquet. There were also many people from the neutral faction and Pacino's lineage who were not so fond of Terrence, so he could get a chance to rest.

It's just that this kind of leisure is always short-lived, and soon two figures fell beside him.

Terrence put down his glass and turned his head, only to find that the person walking by was Earl Winslet.Since Edward was imprisoned, the old earl has basically never shown his face in public.Edward had just returned to the Earl's Mansion this morning, and he must have finally realized that he needed to attend this banquet to restore his influence in the aristocratic circle.

In fact, Earl Winslet is really a good father, and his love for his young son can be said to be well known in the imperial capital.It's just that if a child becomes the only favorite, other children will naturally be ignored.

Terrence cast his eyes on the young man behind Earl Winslet.

The young man's facial features are not conspicuous, but they blend together to bring out a gentle temperament. He also has light gray hair, which hangs down on his face, making him look gentle and silent.

This is Earl Winslet's eldest son and Edward's half-brother, who will inherit the Earl's family business in the future.

Although the two are regarded as brothers, their personalities are quite different. Edward is sunny and handsome, and he looks lovable, but this elder brother is quiet and calm, unobtrusive.

This is also the reason why Earl Winslet favors Edward more.

However, Winslet's eldest son is not a powerless person.In the first life, Terrence didn't know much about it, but in the second life, he knew that although Winslet didn't go any further in his hands, he was still dignified.

It's just that he is not very familiar with this person.In the previous life, although he helped Edward obtain the status, he did not snatch it from Winslet. After all, he had no enmity with the new young earl.But because of Edward, he still abandoned this power that had always stood behind Aldelete.Therefore, under the leadership of the new owner, Winslet has become a neutral faction, which is very similar to the personality of the young man.

Earl Winslet didn't know that Terrence's thoughts had already turned to his son behind him, and raised his wine glass with a smile: "Thank you Duke for pleading for Edward's matter, and I will thank you for your help on his behalf."

Terrence came back to his senses and smiled politely: "Ed is my friend. This time he was imprisoned because of my misfortune. Of course I can't let him go. I wonder if Ed has woken up?"

"Tofu, he woke up not long after taking him home."

"Then why don't you bring him to the banquet? He is not in good spirits, and he needs to play in such a lively place." Terrence said, suddenly thought of something, and immediately picked up the cup blocked his mouth. "I'm sorry, Monsieur Earl. I forgot that Ed had..."

"No, it's nothing." Earl Winslet's face became a little ugly, but he still smiled and said to Terrence.

"He...Ed, does he know about this?" Terrence asked with a frown.

"He still needs a good rest now, I think we will talk about it later."

Terrence's eyebrows buried behind the forehead hair slightly raised.

Edward was so frightened that he fainted so quickly that Terrence didn't have time to continue talking—although the queen ordered him to be released, it couldn't be so simple.In the end, Edward was completely deprived of his noble status, that is to say, he could not inherit a penny of the Winslet family.Although he is still in the Winslet Mansion, he has actually been excluded by the entire noble circle.

Edward, who has always longed for powerful power, this news is nothing more than a bolt from the blue for him, right?After coming out of the shadow of the prison, he may have to suffer another blow, which seems not bad.

Terrence thought so, but there was still a concerned expression on his face: "Please don't worry too much about this, Mr. Earl. He is my good friend, and I will find a way for him."

Earl Winslet showed a slight smile: "Edward was able to get to know you, it is really his luck, as long as you still treat him as a friend, it will be great, he is not mentally stable, it is the time when he needs encouragement from relatives and friends. "

Terrence sneered in his heart, and turned his gaze to the young man behind Earl Winslet: "Is this Ed's brother? It looks familiar."

"Ah, that's right, this is my eldest son Virgil. He and I visited your father before, but you were still young at that time, so I'm afraid you don't remember."

Earl Winslet turned sideways while talking, revealing Virgil Winslet behind him.

Virgil showed a decent smile, and stretched out his hand to Terrence: "Hello, Your Excellency, I am Virgil."

Terrence raised his eyebrows and shook Virgil's hand: "Hello, I often hear Ed mention you. Since you are Ed's elder brother, you are also my friend. If you are free, I hope you can Go to Aldrett House."

"It is my honour, sir."

"No, as long as you don't dislike me for being young and lacking in knowledge, I welcome you to come here often. Getting along with older people will make me more mature, right? I heard Ed said that you Very good at classical music.”

Vergil couldn't help laughing out loud at what Terrence said.

The two talked again, and Her Majesty the Queen, who had just stepped off the dance floor, walked towards them.Virgil understood that the person the queen wanted to talk to was Terrence, and after saluting to the queen, he left first.

The queen looked at Virgil's back and chuckled: "The heir of the Winslet family has moved forward and retreated very well."

She turned her head to look at Terrence, and touched Terrence's curly hair: "Oh, my little Terrence, you are still so small, there is no way to dance with you."

Terrence twitched his eyes helplessly, and said, "In a few years, I will be able to dance with you."

The queen sighed speciously: "By then, I'm afraid I'll be old, and you wouldn't want to dance with an old woman like me."

"What are you talking about?" Terrence laughed, "You look very young now, I don't know how many people are lining up to dance with you, when the time comes, you will have to let me join the queue good."

"Little Terrence is so good at talking now." The queen smiled and rubbed Terrence's hair, and pulled him to the rest area on the side, "It just so happens that I am a little tired now, so you can chat with me lets chat."

The queen took a sip of the red wine and put the wine glass on the table. She sat on the soft sofa and fanned the feather fan: "What does Little Terrence think of Winslet's heir?"

"You mean Virgil?"

"That's right. It seems that you have a good relationship, and you can already call each other's names." The Queen put away her fan and tapped her palm with the handle. "Anyway, he is the heir to the Winslet family, little Terrence, do you understand?"

Terrence blinked: "Of course."

The queen looked at Terrence's innocent face, and didn't think he really understood what he said "of course", and continued: "Your father has always been assisted by the Winslet family, and only the next generation Earl Winslet I will help you, little Terrence, don't forget this."

The queen let Edward go out of her own considerations, but Terrence getting too close to him weakened her own power, which made the queen have to remind her—of course, if she didn't see Terrence speak loudly and Talking to Virgil Winslet, maybe she wouldn't say those words either.

"Little Terrence, your parents passed away prematurely. I hope I can help you instead of your parents." The Queen finally said.

Terrence lowered his eyes and replied deeply, "Your Majesty, I know your painstaking efforts. Don't worry, I know how to measure some things."

The Queen smiled: "Little Terrence, you have to know that you can easily get the loyalty of some people, while the loyalty of some people is just an appearance. You have to learn to distinguish them and don't misjudge people." Just like Edward's My child, the queen doesn't think that the other party just acted as an innocent victim this time, but for the sake of Earl Winslet and Terrence, she can also pretend that she doesn't know anything.

"Then... what if you can't tell the difference?" Terrence asked thoughtfully.

"Then you have to learn how to force him to be loyal to you." The queen said, thinking of something, her mind became a little dazed. "Do you know, Terrence? There may be a kind of person in this world. You have a thousand reasons to convince yourself to doubt him, but they can't match the feeling you want to trust him in your heart."

"What are you going to do at that time? Conquer him, or kill him?" The queen looked back at Terrence, showing her usual friendly smile, "You are too young to understand these things. This is like Think about the homework the teacher left for you. People in high places will always encounter such problems."

The Queen looked as if she had run around in the memories of the past, with vicissitudes and exhaustion on her face.At this time, she really looked like a woman in her 40s.

The White Pearl Queen bloodbathed the royal family and never married... She has countless legends. At the source of this legend, is there a story that is not thrilling but sad and painful?

Terrence looked at the Queen's profile.

There may be a kind of person in this world, you have a thousand reasons to convince yourself to doubt him, but it is not worth the feeling you want to trust him in your heart.

When he heard this, he thought that the first person he thought of was Edward, but it was the face of Lancer Schevenlieu that flashed through his mind.And will this person become the second Edward?

Now, Terrence doesn't seem to be able to say the answer with certainty.

When the banquet finally ended, Terrence walked out of the palace against the night wind.Now that summer is approaching, the evening breeze makes people feel very comfortable.

Standing beside the carriage of the Duke's Mansion outside the palace was a groom... and Lancer dressed as a warrior.

When Terrence attended the banquet, Lancer had to follow anyway—when Terrence left for the prison in the morning, Lancer was practicing sword in the back garden without knowing it.Afterwards, the blond knight blamed himself for not being able to follow his master at all times, so after he knew about the arrangements for the evening, he immediately strengthened his position that he must follow.

Little by little, he became more and more like a pious and loyal knight than when he first met in the forest.

Terrence tilted his head. Sometimes, he felt that Lanser was more like a big dog that pissed off its owner and tried to make up for it by being obedient.If it weren't for the memory of the previous two lives, he really liked Lancer's current character.But if there is no memory of the previous two lives, the original self may not make Lancer become like this.This is really an unsolvable paradox.

But in any case, the gap between the two always exists and is difficult to destroy.

While thinking, he slowly approached the carriage.

Lancer took a step forward to hold his hand, and helped him onto the carriage, and immediately noticed what Terrence was holding in his other hand.

"what is this?"

Terrence sat leaning against the inside of the carriage, heard Lancer's inquiry, and lifted the velvet cover that was covering something.Under the cover of the red cloth is an exquisite birdcage, in which stands a palm-sized bird with a feather on its head and a tail that is twice as long as its body.

"The gift from Her Majesty the Queen is called Songbird. It is sensitive in nature and will send an alarm to the owner when it is in danger."

The little bird seemed to have heard the key words, jumped and turned in a direction, and called to Terrence: "Master! Master!"

At this time, the carriage seemed to be pressed against a rock and bumped a bit, Terrence also swayed his body, his forehead almost hit the wall of the carriage, but fortunately, Lancer grabbed him quickly.

And the door of the birdcage also loosened under this tremor, and the little bird fluttered its wings and flew out from inside.It was very psychic, and instead of taking the opportunity to fly away, it jumped onto Terrence's shoulder and continued to shout: "Master! Master!"

Then the beak turned and pecked Lancer's arm: "Bad guy! Bad guy!"

Terrence glanced at Lancer with a half-smile, and pushed him away...but he soon stopped laughing.

Adam stood in front of the gate of the Duke's Mansion, waiting for the young master to return from the banquet.Lu Sien stood next to him with a bunch of snacks in his arms, eating his mouth full of scum.

When Archer went to the kitchen to get supper, he ran into Mr. Butler who was carrying a magic lamp to welcome Terrence.He thought of the fact that he was hungry at the banquet yesterday, and felt extremely sympathetic to Terrence who had to go again today.Although he already understood that Terrence did not miss the growth period and failed to grow taller, he was still worried that the other party would delay his growth due to frequent banquets.

Not long after, the carriage with the Goshawk family emblem gradually revealed its full view from the night, the sound of hoofbeats disappeared, and the carriage stopped in front of the door.

Adam and Lu Sien stepped forward together, but when they saw Terrence who was carried out of the carriage by Lancer, they immediately showed a shocked expression.

On the top of Terrence's head stood a... green hair, shaking left and right in the night wind.

Adam coughed, and prepared to pretend he didn't see it, and wait until he returned to the bedroom to remove the strange things from the banquet for the master.But Lu Sien directly stretched out his hand to touch the hair, and said very honestly: "Mr. Hyman, you forgot to comb your hair."

But the moment Lu Sien touched that green hair, it straightened up like a branch.Immediately afterwards, a bird flew out of Terrence's hair, and pounced fiercely on Lu Sien's forehead.

"Bad guy! Bad guy! Danger! Danger!"

It seemed to be in a hurry and couldn't find its way. After pecking Lu Sien, it turned around and flew towards Adam again—after pecking viciously around people, it finally flew back to the top of Terrence's head and nestled down. , The green feathers continued to sway left and right with the wind.

The warbling bird, out of its cage, apparently took the little duke's shaggy curls as his home.
