Esther turned around and looked at Alice with Otto, both of them were puzzled.
Otto looked at Alice and didn’t have any impression of her, but he felt that she looked a bit like Duchess Sophia.
“It’s me! Uncle Otto!” Alice excitedly ran forward and stood with Esther:”I’m Alice!”
“Alice? Which Alice?”Otto frowned, and couldn’t remember where he had seen this girl.
“Alice Ovis!”
When Alice said her full name, the whole street was in an uproar.
“What? This girl has the same name as the Duke of Orvis’ daughter!”
“Didn’t the Duke of Orvis’ daughter disappear thirteen years ago?”
“Huh? I heard that he passed away, didn’t he?”
As soon as this was said, the people around him immediately covered the mouth of the person who said this.
“Don’t dare to say this! Miss Alice has always been a pain in Lord Orvis’ heart!
After Miss Alice disappeared, no one in the entire dukedom dared to mention her again! You are risking your life by saying this!”
“That’s right, these two people actually dared to pretend to be Miss Alice in front of General Otto! They are in trouble!”
“Judging from their appearance, they are outsiders. They probably heard that Madam Sophia is kind, so they use this name to cheat people out of their money!”
“They were really unlucky to have run into General Otto first. He is the most ruthless person in our duchy!”
There were sighs all around, and everyone was guessing what kind of miserable end Ayse and the other two would have.
Ayse, who was standing by, was also quite shocked.
“Alice, your Orvis, is it the Duke of Orvis here?”
Alice thought about it with an innocent look on her face, and replied:”Well, I went to that spiritual realm when I was very young, and I still don’t know what the Duke is!”
“I hope your father”103” is really the Duke of Orvis, because I think this Otto seems to explode after hearing your name!”Aise held the Holy Spear tightly in one hand and pulled Alice behind him with the other.
Otto was so angry that the whip in his hand was torn off.
“You bold pariah, how dare you pretend to be the daughter of the Duke of Orvis!
This is the scar that the Duke and the Duchess are most reluctant to open!
Today I will arrest the two of you deceiving pariahs and torture you to find out your intentions in coming to our duchy! Arrest them!”
Otto gave an order, and the soldiers behind him quickly surrounded them, with an angry expression on everyone’s face, as if Alice’s disappearance was something that everyone in the duchy was sad about.
Even the aunt who had just regarded the broom used by Esther as a treasure, angrily threw down the broom and stepped on it twice.
Esther mobilized his energy, his finger ready on the trigger, and asked Otto:”You made the decision for your duke like this!
What if she is really the daughter of Orvis, you won’t ask her parents to come out and recognize her?”
“You two lowly people are still digging up wounds! I will not let Lord Orvis fall into that kind of grief again! Do it!”
Otto looked at Aether with gritted teeth, wishing he could seal Aether’s mouth the next second.
Bang!
Aether raised the holy spear and fired a shot into the air.
The noisy crowd around was frightened and quieted down.
Aether began to speak in absolute silence:”General Otto! I’m here to find Alice’s father. It’s important!
If this Duke of Orvis is really Alice’s father, then I must meet him!”
“You think you are……”
Bang!
Before Otto could finish his words, Esther fired another shot, knocking off Otto’s helmet.
“Two choices, one is to use a gun, the other is to use this!”Aise showed the prince’s badge
“What is that?”Otto, whose helmet was knocked off, finally calmed down and began to frown and observe what was in Esther’s hand.
Esther flicked the badge out, and Otto caught it with one hand, showing off his arrogance.
Otto spread his palm disdainfully and checked what he caught. The moment he saw it clearly, his pupils dilated instantly, and he immediately turned over and dismounted, trotting towards Esther, and returned the badge with both hands.
“So you are the Prince’s guest of honor. I was rude just now!”
Esther took back the badge:”Can I see the Duke of Orvis now?”
“Mr. Esther is the Prince’s distinguished guest, so he can naturally meet the Duke. Please allow me to inform you!”
Although Otto’s tone softened, he still revealed a hint of dissatisfaction:”Please follow me to the reception mansion!”
Esther nodded, and with a snap of his fingers, he summoned the holy horse behind the crowd.
When Otto saw the holy horse, he exclaimed again:”This is the holy horse, the unique mount of the Paladin!”
“Good eye, General Otto, any questions?”
“”No, nothing!” Otto frowned, and compared with his relaxed expression just now, he was now a little more panicked:”Mr. Esther, please follow me!”
Along the way, Otto glanced at Esther from time to time, looking very worried.
After arranging Esther to sit down, Otto hurriedly left the mansion…
In the Duke’s Mansion, the white-haired Duke was holding a pair of pruning shears and slowly trimming the green plants.
“Lord Orvis, Lord Orvis!” Otto rushed into the garden and ran straight to Duke Orvis.
Orvis glanced at Otto and continued to prune the garden slowly. After Otto came closer, he said calmly,”Otto! You are a great general, why are you still so flustered!
Even if the enemy holds a sword on your neck, you must remain calm!”
Orvis’s slow teaching made Otto very anxious, but he did not dare to interrupt the Duke and could only wait for the Duke to finish speaking.
“What’s the matter? Tell me!”
After getting Orvis’s permission, Otto finally spoke:”Your Excellency the Duke, a strange man came today and he wants to see you!”
“Strange! How strange!”Ovis seemed to have no interest in anyone’s arrival, and was only focused on taking care of the green plants in front of him:”Three eyes or six hands?”
“Well, it’s not the shape that’s weird, it’s the identity!”
“Who is he?” Orvis walked around and came to the side of the green plant, muttering,”Little Alice, let me cut your hair!”
It turned out that the green plant in front of him was planted by Alice when she was a child, so Orvis was not interested in anything when trimming it.
“This man is called Aesir, and he rides the holy horse……”
“Ah……”Ovis smiled disdainfully:”Noble Paladin!”
“He also has the prince’s badge, and is the prince’s guest of honor!”
At this time, the pruning shears in Ovis’s hand finally stopped, and he carefully moved the pruning shears away from the green plants in front of him:”What? It’s a paladin, and he also has the prince’s badge?”
“Yes!” Otto nodded affirmatively.
Orvis thought silently for a moment, then sighed and said:”Holy horse, prince’s emblem, representatives of two major forces, the king and his brother are getting along?
Why did such an important character come to my duchy?”
“He He……”Otto began to stutter.
Orvis looked at Otto and scolded him,”Otto, you followed me when I was expanding the territory for the king!
At that time, you were brave and fearless. What’s wrong with you now? Are you old and timid?”
“Fighting military, now even if they join forces to attack us……”(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
“Hmm?” Orvis gave Otto a look and he swallowed his words back:”If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t talk nonsense!”
“Sorry, Your Excellency the Duke, I was talking nonsense!” Otto quickly suppressed his emotions and continued:”This Mr. Esther brought a girl and said… yes, yes, Alice Orvis!”
“What?”Ovis, who was calmly preaching just now, couldn’t even hold the pruning shears in his hand steadily, and they fell to the ground.
Not far away, there was also the sound of a teacup falling to the ground.
Duchess Sophia, who was about to serve tea to Orvis, was also shocked and lost her mind.
“Madam, Madam!” Even though Orvis could hardly control his emotions, he still went forward to comfort Sophia:”This is just a piece of news, calm down first, calm down, maybe it’s a conspiracy of the prince or the king!”
After comforting Sophia, Orvis confirmed with Otto again:”What on earth does this Esther want to do! He actually used my daughter’s affairs to provoke me. My daughter has passed away for thirteen years. Aren’t they going too far!”
“Your Excellency Duke, I was also extremely angry at that time, but due to his status, it was inconvenient for me to do anything!”
“Identity? Good! Then I will go and see this mysterious Mr. Esther in person.
If he really uses my daughter’s matter to play tricks on me! I don’t care about his identity. I have the right to go to the king!”
Sophia looked uneasy and hurriedly pulled Orvis:”My lord, please let me go with you to see it!”
Orvis raised his hand and hugged Sophia and said softly:”Madam, we have searched the forest at that time. There are no houses in it, only countless wild animals.
Alice…she is so young, it is impossible for her to have………well!”
“Sir, please let me go with you to have a look! I am Alice’s mother, and I always feel that Alice is still alive!”
“I’m afraid that if I deal with this matter again, it will make you cry again!”[]
Sophia looked up at Ovis’ eyes and begged,”My Lord, I haven’t heard the name Alice Ovis for almost thirteen years!
Today I heard news about Alice again. If I don’t go and see her, I will regret it for the rest of my life!”
Ovis only had Alice as his daughter. Now that Alice is gone, his wife Sophia is his only relative. Faced with the plea, Ovis nodded.
Then the three of them rushed to the mansion in a hurry………..
Although Orvis kept muttering that this was a conspiracy, he still hoped in his heart that this was really his daughter Alice.
When they arrived at the door, Orvis and Sophia both took a deep breath at the same time, and then opened the door and went in.
As soon as Orvis walked into the house, Alice stood up excitedly:”Dad!”
The word”Dad” gave Orvis goose bumps all over his body.
Sophia on the side couldn’t wait to move forward, but was held back by the cautious Orvis.
Alice here was also held back by Esther.
Girls change a lot when they grow up, and Orvis couldn’t tell whether this Alice was really his daughter.
“Mr. Esther, I heard that you are the prince’s distinguished guest. What is the matter with you coming to see me today?”Ovis said solemnly, showing the style of a duke.
“I thought you would miss your daughter very much?”
“Dad, Mom……”Alice on the side called out softly, she didn’t understand why she couldn’t go forward and hug her parents now.
Orvis might be holding on because of his status as a duke, but Sophia on the side couldn’t help hearing the call.
“I miss my daughter very much, but I also believe in the laws of nature.
My daughter disappeared in a dense forest thirteen years ago! After so many years, the chance of survival is almost zero.
How can you prove that this girl is my daughter?”
“I… I have a way!”Esser and the others hadn’t spoken yet, but Sophia on the side spoke first.
Sophia shook off Ovis’s hand and walked forward.
“Hey, ma’am……”Before Ovis could finish his words, Sophia had already arrived in front of Alice.
“Mother……”Seeing the current atmosphere, Alice didn’t dare to shout too loudly.
“”Hey, kid!” When Sophia saw Alice up close, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and responded unconsciously.
“My daughter has a special mark in the middle of her back. I can tell by just looking at it!
Child, are you willing to come with me to the back hall to verify it?”
“”Okay, Mom!”
Alice called”Mom” again and again, making Sophia’s eyes moist.
Sophia gently took Alice’s hand and went to the back hall.
After the mother and daughter disappeared in the hall, Orvis stretched his neck and his heart beat fast.
Esther sat leisurely and drank tea.
Orvis took two steps forward and then took half a step back. Before coming here, Orvis wanted to find out Esther’s true identity and purpose.
But now his mind is completely blank. He forgot what he wanted to say and was just looking forward to Sophia’s verification result.
“Your Excellency the Duke, your tea is delicious, wouldn’t you like some?”
“Ah? Drink, drink it! I… am not hungry!”Ovis’ heart was in his throat, and his words were completely illogical.
Finally, Sophia came out from the back hall with Alice in her arms, her eyes were red, and there were clear traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.4.8
“How is it! Madam, is she… is she?” Ovis went to meet him excitedly, his hands and feet were unnatural.
Sophia was choking and couldn’t speak, she could only nod.
“Oh! You…you are really my daughter, Alice! I…I……”
Orvis was so excited that he wanted to hug her, but seeing that his daughter was already a big girl and he hadn’t seen her for a long time, he couldn’t hug her easily, which made Orvis start to dance with joy. In the end, it was Sofia who took Orvis’ arm to calm him down.
“Mr. Esther, thank you very much for finding our daughter for us!”After Sophia recovered, she immediately thanked Esther.
“Hahaha! Mr. Esther, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. The national situation has forced me to be overly sensitive and I haven’t treated you well enough.
My daughter, Alice, is finally back. I………”
As an old father, Orvis did not care about the Duke’s majesty, and his eyes became moist.
After a burst of grateful words, Orvis finally recovered some of his normal state.
“Mr. Esther, please tell me what reward you want. As long as I, Duke of Orvis, can do it, I can give it to you!”
“Mr. Esther has something important to tell you!”After reuniting with her parents, Alice couldn’t wait to tell her parents about her and Esther’s lifelong event.
“”What does Mr. Esther want to talk to me about?” Orvis looked at Alice with a smile on his face, and even his tone of voice became softer.
“yes……”Alice ran out of Sophia’s arms, came to Esther, and slowly took Esther’s arm.
Seeing this, Ovis’ smile gradually disappeared.
“Mr. Esther is here to marry me!”
“”Ah!” Orvis exclaimed suddenly, his jaw almost dropped in surprise.
