Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

Half an hour later, everyone dispersed one after another.

After Angus and Weilin met with Alyssa and others, they headed to the resting palace in the west part of the palace.

In the side hall, Weilin waved all the maids in the hall to leave, then came to the bed and lay down directly on it.

Xemia came around and placed some restrictions casually to prevent others from prying and disturbing.

After doing this, Shermia came to the bedside, sat next to Weilin, and asked, "How does it feel to fight with your father?"

Weilin put his hands behind his head, squinted at the ceiling, and answered slowly: "I feel that my father has not worked hard these years. He has been standing still and made no progress. After a while, I have to find my grandpa. , let him visit his father more and give him some pressure and motivation. "

After hearing this, Xemia covered her mouth and chuckled, and said: "You will be motivated only when you are under pressure. You have a really profound understanding of this."

There was a cunning light in his eyes, as if he was teasing Weilin.

"You said this, I didn't."

Weilin smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed Shermia, and gently pulled her against him.

Shemia struggled symbolically, then lay obediently on Weilin, put her head on his chest, listened to the sound of his heart beating, and asked softly: "How long do you think it will take for the eldest brother to inherit his father's position? "

There was a hint of curiosity and expectation in his tone.

Weilin stroked Xemia's silver hair and replied: "It's hard to say. I think back when my grandfather forced my father to inherit the title of Earl of Eagle, my father delayed it for more than ten years on the grounds that he had no heirs."

"If my eldest brother follows my example, my father may have to work for more than ten years."

Shemia put her hand on Weilin's shoulder and said softly: "It seems like this. Back then, this matter was widely spread, making other family heirs very envious and eager to replace it."

"It's just that the family inheritance is different. Compared with other earl families and marquis families, the heirs of the Earl of Eagle need to go to the branch to study and get the approval of the branch leader before they can enter the next stage."

"After receiving the approval of the person in charge of the branch, the successor of the branch needs to swear allegiance to the ancestor in front of the plaque."

Xemia raised her head and looked at her husband, with a trace of doubt in her eyes, and asked curiously: "Is it similar to the oath of allegiance system of the Guardian Knight?"

"There are some differences." Weilin sat up, stretched out his arms to hug Shemia, and explained with a smile, "This kind of oath of allegiance is not done in the temple of the gods, but under the witness of all the strong men of gold rank and above in the branch. carried out.”

"After hundreds of years of evolution, this oath system has three most essential provisions."

"First, under special circumstances, the clan leader can bypass the branch leader and directly mobilize the troops under his command."

"Second, changing the successor of the branch leader requires the approval of the clan leader."

"Third, when the clan leader is incompetent, as long as half of the branch leaders agree, he can be forcibly removed and a new Earl of Eagle can be selected."

"However, generally only the first and second situations have happened, and the third situation has never happened. After all, under this selection system, it is difficult to find mediocrity."

After hearing Weilin's explanation, Shemia fell into deep thought.

As a bystander, she only knew that the Akers family was very united, and that the heirs of its main line had a tradition of studying under the leaders of the branch lines. She didn't know much about the underlying reasons.

"By the way, doesn't this mean that you will have to teach your eldest brother's children in the future." Shemia looked at Weilin and asked.

Weilin saw this and smiled: "When I become an earl, I am a new branch. Of course, I have to teach the next generation of Eagle earl heirs."

Hearing this, Shermia tried to recall that her husband had many instincts, but his biggest one was laziness.

Weilin knocked on Xemia's head and asked curiously: "What are you thinking about?"

Seeing this, Xemia smiled gently and said nothing.

Seeing the look on his wife's face, Weilin didn't need to think that she knew there would be no good words to say, but it didn't matter, there were only a few possibilities anyway.

"However, I feel that with my eldest brother's character, he is very likely to take the initiative to take over the title of Marquis of Eagle."

"why is that?"

Xemia was a little confused, why was this statement so contradictory? Could it be that the eldest brother wasn't as simple as he seemed on the surface.

Looking at his wife whose curiosity was aroused, Weilin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, whispered into her ear.

The next moment, Xemia's face turned red in a rare way. She glared at Youyi fiercely and muttered in a low voice: "Every day, I am not in good shape."

"I'll tell you if you promise."

Hearing this, Xemia hesitated, and finally nodded, agreeing to her husband's request.

When Weilin saw this, he didn't show off and explained: "Don't look at the cheerful appearance of the elder brother all day long. In fact, this is just his appearance."

"He is a very complicated person. He values ​​​​family ties, but he is also dissatisfied with some of the existing family systems. He wants to change, but change means shaking up old interests."

"Once confrontation is triggered, it may trigger internal strife."

With a hint of shock in her eyes, Xemia asked, "Does father know about this?"

"He must know, but since he didn't choose to intervene, he acquiesced." Weilin replied, "Even though I contradict my father every day, he is not angry at all. This is all due to my own achievements."

"In other words, if my second sister, third sister and fourth brother were like me, they would have been hung up and beaten long ago, and after being beaten, they would have to kneel in front of the ancestral tablet for three days and three nights."

Xue Mia lowered her head and whispered, "Just like my father treated my second sister."

"You have to know that my father has always been a patriarch, and then a father. In his heart, the interests of the family are always put first. Maybe only the mother can put interests before interests. As for the offspring, he will be very tolerant if they are capable. If they are not capable, they must listen to him."

Xue Mia touched her belly, stared at Weilin, and asked in a deep voice: "Will you be like this in the future?"

"Who do you think I am?"

Looking at the smile on Weilin's face, Xue Mia suddenly realized that she knew her husband best. In his heart, relatives and friends are the first, and interests are often put behind. Otherwise, he would not have a reputation for being kind and approachable.

"It's getting late, it's time to rest." Weilin stopped the topic, smiled and said, and then lay down on the bed.

Seeing this, Xuemia went forward to take off her husband's clothes and hung them on the coat rack. Then she took off her coat, lay down beside him, waved her hand to extinguish the magic lamp, and slowly fell asleep.
