Lord of Lowland

Chapter 125 Meeting Ophelina Again
Although the earl's words were impassioned, Cecil's heart was also ignited with a flame, because the earl suddenly touched the part he longed for most in his heart, making contributions and doing great things, which young man is not Do you have such a dream more or less?The earl is nearly 50 years old, and still has such ambitions, how can he lose to him?
Thinking of this, Cecil made up his mind and said: "My lord, I have decided. I want to choose the province of Samara."

Hearing what Cecil said, Count Kasikud was also very happy, and said: "As expected of your father's son, I knew you would not let me down. Now, on behalf of the kingdom, I appoint you as the Samara line Baron of Atham County, you are now Baron Augustine. Your official appointment will be given at the palace tomorrow. You will stay here tonight, and tomorrow you will enter the palace to see the king.

That's how he became a baron?It seems that he has become a nobleman, which is also a big step in his life, Cecil is also very happy in his heart.It was not easy for this nobleman to come to this position, and he was still facing a greater test, but Cecil also felt that he suddenly had great pride: let the storm come more violently! ! !

After Cecil said goodbye to the Earl, he returned to his room to rest. When he was about to enter the suite the Earl had prepared for him, he saw a beautiful woman wearing pink clothes walking towards him.No need to ask, this person is Ofelina.

I haven't seen her for a few days, but Ophelina seems to be in good spirits. After returning from the battle at the Devil's Gate, as the life priest who made great contributions, she has also become the only life priest in the temple. Both her personal strength and her own prestige have been raised to a higher level. In order to be busy with the affairs of the temple, Ou Feilina even delayed her father's affairs. Recently, she has seldom helped the count deal with her own territory. matter.

Seeing Ophelina walking towards him, Cecil hurried to say hello to her. He hadn't seen her since he went to the Aluk Empire as Arlenia's guard.Before he walked in, Ofelina congratulated him: "Congratulations, Cecil, you have finally become a real nobleman and realized your dream."
Cecil touched his forehead and laughed at himself: "Although this is the case, I seem to have found a big trouble for myself."

"This is also your own courage, but you also solved a big problem for my father." Ofelina said.

"Oh? How do you say that?" Cecil asked. Although he asked Ofelina like this, he knew it in his heart. When the earl was persuading him just now, he kept persuading himself to choose the province of Samara. And he said such inspiring words, although they were very effective, but Cecil also knew very well in his heart that the Earl was by no means a passionate young man like him, and he obviously had his own calculations when he said these words.

"This time, one of my father's knights has also met the requirements for being promoted to a baron. My father obviously wants to leave Baron Curesta's territory to him." Ofelina said slowly.

"Then why doesn't your father want to leave the land to me? Am I not also his subordinate?" Cecil said strangely.

"You are father's subordinate now, but not necessarily in the future." Ofelina said.

"What does this mean? Am I going to betray the earl?" Cecil said.

"It's not betrayal, but you are progressing too fast. My father has a premonition that sooner or later you will reach the same position as him, maybe even surpass him. If you also become an earl, how can your father dare to take it? Are you a subordinate?" Ofelina smiled and said.

"The Earl is too worried, I don't have this idea." Cecil felt a little ironic.

"To be honest, Cecil, we have also heard about your trip to the Eluk Empire this time. You did not come back with the Osmond knight. We know a little bit about the reason, so you may be involved A big trouble at the top. Big trouble is also a big opportunity. If you can seize this opportunity, we think your future is limitless." Ou Feilina pulled her hair in a bun and said very sincerely .

It is the first time Cecil has heard of this theory, but it is not unreasonable to think about it carefully. His inheritance imprint, Clifford, the High Priest, was exchanged for the Duke's seat, although Tiberon said that it was Clifford. The false conditions for yourself, but you can’t be too outrageous, so the value of this inheritance imprint on yourself alone may not be so simple, so Earl Kasikud’s idea is not wrong, Cecil At this time, I have to admire the Earl's sensitivity. This information alone can deduce so many things.

"So of course my father hopes that the territory of Baron Kuresta, who has been in business for so long, can continue to operate steadily under his rule, and continue to be connected with all his territories. As far as you are concerned, You go to open up a new territory of the kingdom, you will have great achievements in the future if you succeed, my father has the kindness to recommend you, if you fail, my father has nothing to lose, his old man's calculations are quite shrewd." Ou Fei Lina went on to talk to Cecil.

"Your Earl thinks too highly of me. In fact, I have encountered a lot of trouble in the Aluk Empire this time."

"We should be able to guess, but as I said just now, troubles are opportunities. If you deal with them, your future is limitless." Ofelina interrupted Cecil's speech.

"Let me borrow your good words," Cecil said, "but why are you telling me this? These things may not be good words for your father."

"Then you underestimate my father too much. You don't understand just because you are too superficial. One day you will understand sooner or later, and my father did not harm you. His generous statement to you It's not a lie, so there's no harm in telling you these things first, and it doesn't hinder our possible future cooperation. Sometimes it's better to be open-minded than to cheat." Ofelina said with a smile.

Ofelina's words really impressed Cecil. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case. Although the Earl and himself had their own little calculations in mind, it was not unreasonable. Young people always have to make their own way. What about the benefits?
