Dominate the world in three weeks?

Another month had passed since my return from Alderete.The imperial capital has been invaded by the winter cold. When I got up this morning, I looked out of the French windows from the warm room, and there was already a thick layer of snow in the courtyard.

Terrence was sitting on the sofa by the fireplace drinking hot tea, the soft animal fur on his collar rubbed against his cheeks, softening his slightly raised eyebrows and eyes.

"The snow fell too early this year." Putting down the empty teacup, Terrence shrank his neck and could not help complaining.Adam, the butler standing beside him, leaned over to fill up the steaming black tea again.

Terrence just held the cup in his hands this time, and his white fingertips were quickly burnt pink.

Adam said: "This shouldn't be a reason for you to stay up in bed, young master."

"Too wordy, Adam." Terrence wrinkled his nose slightly.

At this time, the door of the hall was opened, and Lancer walked in through the wind and snow.He was dressed in a convenient cavalier suit, and still held a sword in his hand.The scabbard that was destroyed a month ago had already been replaced with a new one. Lancer originally wanted to buy one locally, but after Terrence returned to the imperial capital, he found everyone who was good at forging to measure the long sword in Lancer's hand. I made a handle.

The scabbard made by a skilled craftsman does not look luxurious and beautiful at all, without any gemstones as decorations, but the material itself is precious, and its hard texture is not much worse than the blade.When Terrence handed the thing to him, he said with a little irony that with it, at least there would be no need to worry about Lanser not having a second sturdy weapon in his hand when he was in a hurry.

Such things are naturally very precious, but what makes Lancer even more flattered is that Terrence is the one who gave the gift.He followed the little master, and all the snacks and clothing were prepared by the Duke's mansion.But only this kind of thing came from Terrence's careful preparation - even if the other party said it was just a temporary idea.

Angus also came in with Lancer. The blond-haired boy got rid of the hardships of the long journey, his cheeks became much rosier, and his pretentious weakness faded away, and he became a little aristocratic.

But his hypocritical personality remains unchanged.

Angus, who was following Lanser, had his eyes tightly wrapped around the knight's body, and his eyes were dependent. His nose and ears were red from the cold, and he kept breathing hot air into his palms. It seemed that he was too cold outside, like a rustling A shivering little animal who still wants to be brave.

As a warrior, Lanser always got up early to practice in the garden regardless of the wind and rain. Needless to say, Angus must have watched it "full of eagerness".

Terrence has always thought that Angus was weird, and he himself sometimes softened his attitude to paralyze others, but like Angus, he always put on a show of weakness, and Terrence felt that he really couldn't help it Do it, even if the benefits of doing so are obvious.After all, they are fundamentally different.

Angus has been chasing after Lancer for a while, but he doesn't know why.Is it really love at first sight matched by fate?Come on, he's still a kid.But what is Lancer's current status worthy of his greed?

Terrence thought his enemies were too shrewd and calculating, and he didn't know that Angus just couldn't stand that he was treated wholeheartedly by others, and couldn't help the desire to destroy in his heart.

Lancer noticed Terrence's gaze, avoided Angus's fingers stretched out to grab his sleeve, and walked in front of the little master.

There was snow on his head, but the firewood burning in the fireplace crackled, and the red flames melted the white snow into water droplets, which eroded the short dark golden hair.

Terrence took the towel hanging from Adam's arm and threw it on the knight. He frowned and said, "You look like a drowned chicken. Hurry up and wipe your hair, and the water will drip on me in a while." .”

He spoke with disgust, but it made the coldness in Lancer's facial features dissipate a little. He quickly dried the moisture on his body with a towel. At this time, Adam had already poured the black tea, and Lancer took the cup and drank it. The cold finally dissipated.

He rubbed his fingers and felt that the temperature on his body returned to normal, and then sat down beside Terrence.The green feathers on the little duke's head flickered, and the songbird, which took it as its mission to protect the safety of its master but always chirped at Lancer, didn't poke its head out.

The relationship between the two people seems to have some elements called warm and tacit understanding under the warmth and harmony.Since returning from the city of Aldelete, Lancer has noticed a change in the little master's attitude towards him, which makes the blond knight very happy--what is more a knight than having the wholehearted trust of the master who serves him happy.

But Angus hated this harmonious scene very much.

His light green pupils seemed to be soaked in rain, becoming dark and dark, and the moment Lancer avoided his touch, he was already burning with anger.But the gloom only appeared on his face for a second, and soon he raised his smiling face and walked to the two of them.

As a housekeeper, Adam naturally knew how to read words and expressions. As early as when Angus and the two of them came in, he had secretly ordered the maid to get towels.Because of this, Angus did not encounter embarrassment.

He smiled at the maid holding the towel in both hands, took the towel from the shy girl, and said to Terrence while rubbing his hair: "Brother Terrence, you don't know, Lancer's sword skills are so good At least, when his fighting spirit is flowing, no snowflakes will fall on him."

Such pretense of intimacy made Lancer frowned secretly, and he subconsciously looked at Terrence.Lanser didn't know why Angus showed his favor, but he knew that Terrence didn't like this younger brother who appeared suddenly, so he always kept a proper distance.

Terrence noticed Lanser's gaze. Although the object of this knight's allegiance has changed, his character of always speaking nonsense has not changed except for the servants.Seeing this scene, Terrence, who is familiar with the so-called past, only felt subtle in his heart.

He smiled and turned to look at Angus, and said, "Really? I really don't care much about these things. But Angus, my dear brother, I am more worried about your health. After all, you are not as strong as a warrior, It's so cold outside, you'll catch a cold. What's more, it's snowing, why don't you use spells to block the cold wind and snow. I'm really worried about you coming in in such a mess."

His implication is, of course, that he has the ability to not be so embarrassing, so why bother to pretend to be pitiful?

Angus didn't know whether he really didn't understand Terrence's sarcasm, or he was pretending too well. He looked natural and said shyly, "It's because I don't have enough magic power, and there are still some shortcomings. And, Lan I'm also envious of Se's strong physique, and I think I'm sharpening myself. In a few days, the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts will start, and I don't want to show poor performance and discredit the Aldret family."

Indeed, there is still less than a week left, which is the beginning of December, the day when the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts recruits students.Both Terrence and Angus are students at the right age, and servants have already packed up the salutes, and they are only waiting for the day to go.

Because Angus mentioned this matter, Lanser turned his head to look at Terrence, and asked again: "At that time, the master should live in the school, you are alone, there are always times when you need someone to take care of you, really Don't you need me to accompany you there?"

In the eyes of the blond knight, Terrence was probably a fragile young master who was about to fall to the ground when blown by the wind. The request to accompany him had been mentioned more than once, which made Terrence help his forehead.Although it is not very good to talk about Angus at this time, the young duke still wants to say from the bottom of his heart that Angus, who has been pretending to be vulnerable and stubborn, is the one that Lancer should worry about more than himself. .

"Even if I want you to go with me, there is no aristocratic privilege in the academy that allows attendants to accompany you. It doesn't make any sense for you to live in a small town outside the campus, and of course it's not necessary." Terrence firmly refused road.

Lancer didn't answer.

Therefore, Angus found a gap to interject: "Don't worry, Lancer. Brother Terrence and I both have water magic, and we will definitely study together at that time. I will take good care of my brother."

What he said was really ironic, but Terrence smiled slightly: "No, I guess, in all senses, I'm afraid we can't stay in the same class."

Angus opened his eyes slightly, and asked with a naive look after a few seconds: "Could it be that students who have just entered the school will be assigned classes according to the level of mages? I thought that the first thing everyone learns is basic knowledge. "

His water magic is now at the fourth level, and he is really talented, much stronger than others. A mage at the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts can graduate as he wishes when he reaches the eighth level, and he can also study in it to the ninth level.Angus' level can be called medium among them.And Terrence has always stayed at the third level. Facing Angus' ability, he really doesn't look good enough.

Angus intentionally poked Terrence's sore spot, but Terrence still looked calm, smiling without saying a word.He only thought in his mind that you might be able to study with Edward in the same class.

Edward was sick at home for several days due to his injury, but after recovering, he still loved to run to Alderete.Sometimes Terrence was in a good mood and would talk to him for a while, but when he got bored, he often put him aside and worked in the study by himself.

Lancer's threat to Edward last time was still fresh in his memory, which made Edward restrain himself a lot and dare not move around.But he and the newcomer Angus became familiar.

The two seem to have quickly become friends, just like in the previous two lives.Edward is self-righteous and likes to control others. Angus's meekness and cuteness will always endear Edward sooner or later.

But Terrence felt that in this life, it would be difficult for the two of them to form an alliance.The value of Edward to Angus is nothing more than his status and Terrence's trust in this friend.But what makes people feel sorry for Edward is that none of his use values ​​in this life are gone.

Angus now just wants to get some favorable news from Edward.However, regarding the School of Magic and Martial Arts, it seems that Edward did not introduce it in detail due to his embarrassing identity.This made Terrence look forward to the other party's expression when the time came.
