The protagonist is always seen

"How old are you, Ariel?"

Ariel was reading a book, when he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Madam Closi, and snorted.

"Mrs. Ten."

Mrs. Closie couldn't help laughing in the rocking chair.

"I know, our little Rose has grown up and is a grown-up."

Ariel stopped turning the page vigilantly, very cautiously.

"It's not particularly big either."

"Really? It's really not big. A certain guy is taller than me now, and he's still pestering his grandmother for cookies."

"Hey, you can't do that, Vaum always asks for it too."

Ariel protested very confidently.

Mrs. Klossey was knitting a sweater in her hand, and she didn't look at Ariel. She was concentrating on the work at hand. One of the major hobbies of this lady is making all kinds of knitwear.

"Don't resist growing up, Little Rose, you know, your mother misses you very much."

"Lie, she never met me at all."

"Come on, Ariel, I love you as much as I love her, you are all people I love, and I'm sure she'll be a good mother."

Mrs. Closi finished the last part of the work, put down the tools in her hand, and looked at Ariel seriously.

"Ariel, go live with your mother, there is nothing good here, an old woman like me is suitable for a quiet life here, but a child as old as you shouldn't be trapped here, go to the capital, go there have a look."

Ariel closed the book and turned his back to the past, which showed his attitude of resistance.

"Ma'am, I want to be here. There's nothing wrong with that."

Mrs. Closie said sternly.

"Ariel, turn around, I'm talking to you very seriously."

Then he slowed down again.

"You can't stay here forever. The people sent by your mother will arrive in these two days. Don't worry, child, I will always be here."

Ariel was silent, he walked over and hugged Mrs. Closie.

Madame Crocy stroked his back.

"Will you take care of her? That girl is too brave. I'm a little worried."

Ariel was a little reluctant, and it took a long time before he responded dully.

"Well, ma'am, as you wish."

Ariel will be frustrated and sad, but he will never run away from anything. He refuses on the pretext of disliking and hating, and never cares about other people's feelings. That is a cowardly act.

He didn't want Mrs. Closie to be embarrassed.

Mrs. Closie was very pleased.

"I'm going to hold a banquet tonight, invite your friends to have fun, and say goodbye to them."

Mrs. Closi's estimate was right, and the people sent by the capital arrived the next day.

To Ariel's surprise, he saw Vaum when he went out with his luggage.

There were a few unknown people around, wearing the black uniforms of the servants, standing upright, while Waum was leaning on the carriage, looking very imposing, but a little loose, as if there was nothing worthy of his serious attention.

That's how he is, everywhere he looks calm.

Seeing Ariel approaching, he took Ariel's small suitcase and handed it to the servant next to him.

He casually saluted Ariel with a low voice.

"Your knight greets you."

Ariel was very pleasantly surprised, even the melancholy that was about to be far away from the familiar home was washed away by this sudden surprise. He was about to leave home and go to a strange place. matter.

When he turned his head, Mrs. Closie stood on the steps and smiled at them. She obviously knew about it, and she shouted angrily.

"Go! Boys! Let's go!"

The border guard rode a dragon passing low, and the shadows on the ground also passed by.

He's on patrol, and every lad in Aiello dreams of being a Dragoon.

Vaum was squinting at the dragon shadow in the distance, and suddenly said.

"I don't know if Wang Du has a dragon."

Then he smiled in relief.

He didn't know if Wang Du had any dragons, but there must be Ariel.

"Ah, Ariel, we have passed the city gate."

Vaum opened the windows of the carriage to let in the fresh air.

Ariel was lying on the soft cushion in the carriage, looking exhausted after a hangover.

It took them a total of three days to drive to the capital, and this was still the case when using a monster that was very good at running.

Hearing that Ariel had arrived, he regained some energy, he raised his head and looked outside.

This place is very different from Ailuo City. The streets are very spacious, and the roads are paved with neat stone bricks. There are shops on both sides. There are people coming and going on the street, and everyone is well-dressed.

Ariel probed out and smelled the aroma of food.

"I'm hungry."

The servant outside immediately approached and asked.

"Do you need to take a break first? There is still a distance from the mansion. There is also the property of the Tolan family here. You can eat something there first, take a bath, and change clothes."

Ariel thought for a while.

"No need, since we've already entered the city, it shouldn't be too far away, let's go quickly."

The servant nodded.

"As ordered."

The further you go to the heart of the capital, the more beautiful the buildings and the fewer people there are. This is where the nobles live.

Not far away, a group of well-dressed young masters are walking together.

They just finished a day of classes. The best school in the capital has always been piled up with a lot of money. It was built in the heart of the capital, second only to the palace.

At the same time, the nobles and commoners are recruited, and the school requires to live on campus, but there are always some fastidious guys who want to enjoy themselves and want to stay at home, especially those nobles whose homes are nearby.

There are very few carriages driving here, because apart from the royal family, only a few glorious families that have been passed down for hundreds of years have this power.

One squinted for a while and patted the person next to him.

"Hey, Andrew, isn't that your family's carriage? On it is your family's coat of arms."

The person being photographed seemed to be very sleepy, walking with his eyes closed, and immediately woke up after being photographed.

He has blond hair, as gorgeous as the sun, but his personality seems to be different.

He unceremoniously knocked off the opponent's hand, his face was a little impatient, and he frowned.

"Do not touch me."

The other party seemed to be quite used to it, and raised his hands as if surrendering.

"Alright, alright, young master."

He stood behind Toland Andrew and sighed.

"It's very hot today."

Andrew didn't answer, he was looking at the carriage and frowned.

I don't have any guests or things that need to go out recently.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to leave it alone, the old man would take care of it anyway.

He put his hand on the shoulder of the person next to him and yawned.

"Let's go, I'm sleepy, I'm going back to sleep."

Andrew subconsciously glanced at his carriage that was about to turn the corner.

Suddenly stopped.

The people in the carriage opened the windows and were looking out.

Andrew had very good eyesight. His eyes were dripped with holy water in the temple after birth, which gave him sharp eyesight like a falcon.

This also made it easy for him to see the man beside the carriage, with hair as black as night, and lips so red as to be almost sinful.

His pupils shrank suddenly.

This appearance made him easily think of a person - Tolan Beatrice.

Beatrice was trying on various necklaces and rings and accessories.

She spent the whole morning picking out clothes, arranging her hair, and even drank a little honey water for breakfast, and now she was picking out jewelry.

Duke Toland came in and raised his eyebrows when he saw her dressing table full of jewelry.

"Oh baby, you're expensive."

Beatrice didn't even turn her head, she sneered and replied.

"You are different."

She glanced at Duke Toland in the mirror.

"I said, you have to knock on the door to enter my room."

Lord Tolland leaned against the doorframe.

"It's not my fault, baby, it's because you didn't close the door yourself."

He complained again.

"Anyway, we are still husband and wife in name, and you are too indifferent."

Beatrice rolled her eyes at him in the mirror.

"Tell me, what are you doing here? If you come to me for money, then go away. Mrs. Toland's status is not so convenient and expensive."

Duke Toland covered his chest with an exaggerated expression.

"Honey, you broke my heart."

"Then I won't give you money either."

Duke Toland immediately returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

"When I went to get my tie today, I accidentally learned that you seem to have ordered a lot of ties, the style that young people like. I know you like to tease Andrew, and teasing him is really fun. He is now Seeing that you still look like a little rooster with fried hair, but after all, he is too different from your age..."

"Shut up, Tolland, if you don't want to die."

Beatrice ended up choosing a necklace set with green pinnacles.

"Don't test me, it's okay to tell you."

She smiled a little.

"You know, I have a kid—"

Duke Tolland let out a scream, interrupting Beatrice, who was recalling the past.

"My God, you have a baby!"

Beatrice gripped the comb in her hand.

Damn, this retarded person can't talk anymore!

Beatrice flickered her fingertips, and the door slammed shut abruptly.

Tolland shrugged.

As expected of Beatrice, who had the best magic talent in the academy back then, she didn't force herself to cast instant magic at all.

The Duke of Toland is a northern noble. Most of the northern nobles rely on the army to survive. They generally have no other industries and mainly focus on the army. However, unlike Ailuo City on the border, they have been independent for generations, and Ailuo City is them. Even the king can't intervene in his territory, so he is very feared.

And Tolan is a nobleman subordinate to the king. Although there is no risk of being suspected, they have no money...

The army has not really been on the battlefield for a long time in these years, and the national treasury is not optimistic. The chancellor of the exchequer is very stingy and unwilling to allocate funds to fill this bottomless pit.

And it is absolutely impossible for Tolan to give up the army. This is the glory of the Tolan family.

But Tolan did not run the manors or businesses that came with quick money like those nobles.

"It is absolutely impossible for me to put down the dignity of the Toland family to do these things."

And then Beatrice found him.

The Duke of Tolland said, please use money to humiliate him, his dignity means nothing.
