I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Tobe or nottobe...

This is a difficult problem for Julian to face.

The Tiger Roaring Sword was thrown on the ground by the old Duke, and it was within easy reach.

His only opponent was seriously injured, as long as he was a little more determined, he would definitely be the next Duke of Radcliffe.

Julien looked at Cosmo quietly, and the expression on his face was as cold as ever, neither begging for sympathy nor provoking death, as if he was sure that Julian would make the right choice.

Suddenly, Julian smiled.

He walked in front of Cosmo and felt the other person's body tense up. He couldn't help laughing in his heart. It seemed that this Cosmo could still hold his face, and he wasn't nervous...

He stretched out his hand under the surprised gaze of the other party, fused the little ghost to his right hand, and then began to heal his wounds.

Cosmo was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Why didn't you kill me?"

Julian looked at him funny: "We have no grievances, why should we kill you?"

Cosmo frowned slightly, and looked at the...residue of the old Duke not far away.

Julian shrugged: "You mean the title of duke? I want to say that I have no intention of inheriting it at all, do you believe me?"

Cosmo gave him a deep look and nodded, "I believe it."

On the contrary, Julian was surprised: "It's so easy to believe me, aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?"

"In this state, if you want the title, just kill me, why lie to me?"

Julian smiled and didn't speak any more, healed him attentively.

When all the wounds were healed, he suddenly took out a dagger and pressed it against Cosmo's neck.

Cosmo: ? ? ?

"I'm sorry." Julian smiled and said to him, "Please sign a non-disclosure agreement, I hope my little secret can continue to be kept." He pointed to Sisi who was mourning his lost beauty not far away.

Cosmo: ...

To live or to die?Cosmo wisely chose the former, and he signed the contract without hesitation.

After getting the contract and putting it away, Julian put away the dagger and pulled him up from the ground.

Cosmo glanced at the old prince, turned to look at Julian, and said solemnly: "Let's make up a logical and complete story, otherwise it's not easy to explain."

Julian thought for a while, and put away all the 'dregs' left by the old duke. In this way, the scene became a fight between the few of them for the Tiger Roaring Sword, and it is possible for any casualties to occur. original right?

The two matched their confessions a little bit, and quickly came up with a logical story. Now they are two grasshoppers on a rope, and tearing each other down will only let others take advantage of it.

After discussing the 'battle plot', Zhu Lijian asked casually: "What will happen after you hand over the rights? Are you leaving the capital?"

Cosmo was still thinking about whether there were loopholes in the story they made up, and without thinking about it, he said casually: "Maybe, Master Luke promised me..."

He raised his head in surprise, met Julian's smiling eyes, and asked after a long silence, "How do you know?"

"Just think of me as a lucky guess." Julian replied with a smile.

Cosmo: ...

In fact, this is of course not a wild guess, but Cosmo's performance made Julian guess in this regard.

Originally, Cosmo was able to occupy a place among the many successors because the old Duke suddenly treated her differently. Otherwise, how could a grandson who had been neglected for so many years suddenly become the popular heir?

But judging from the old Duke's performance just now, it is obvious that he has long known that Cosmo is not his grandson. In other words, Cosmo was simply pushed out to block the knife, which is almost the same as Julian's job.

From this point of view, the old duke obviously wouldn't provide Cosmo with any help. In this way, the question arises, who gave Cosmo a fourth-order attack scroll?

On the other hand, after the old duke revealed his true colors, Cosmo was too calm, and when the old duke told his life experience, his expression did not change at all, as if he knew that he was not the old duke grandson.

In short, there were too many doubts about Cosmo, and Julian had always suspected that His Majesty the King had already found a suitable successor, so he tried to blow him up.

As a result, the explosion came out. Julian didn't expect that Cosmo was also Luke's subordinate.

He picked up the Tiger Roaring Sword and handed it to Cosmo, and said with a smile, "Okay, I've completed this task, I wish you all the best in the future."

Cosmo looked at him with a complicated expression, but didn't take the sword immediately: "Take this sword and go out, you will be the sure Duke, aren't you... not tempted?"

"Move!" Julian said confidently.

Cosmo caught his breath.

But then Julian continued: "Emotion is heart, action is action, a man has a so-called refrain from doing something, I don't want things that are not mine."

Cosmo didn't speak anymore, but just took a deep look at him, and promised: "I owe you a favor, as long as I'm still alive, you can ask me for this favor at any time."

"Hey, that's what you said, cheap cousin, I'll come to you if I have any troubles in the future. After all, you are also a duke, and I will rely on you to cover me from now on."

Cosmo nodded vigorously: "No problem, leave it to me." Then he emphasized again: "You can come to me if you have any troubles in the future."

Julian laughed and remembered what Cosmo said but didn't take it seriously.

Cosmo saw it too, but he didn't say anything.For him, time can tell everything.

After Julian left the Fragmented World, he found that the Duke's mansion was in chaos. Obviously, the death of a large number of heirs made everyone unable to sit still. Many people surrounded Old Harder, wanting him to give an explanation.

Old Harder can't argue with anything now, but what worries him the most is that the old Duke is gone!

He went to look for the old duke just now, but found that everyone in the bedroom was asleep, and the old duke who was supposed to be lying on the bed disappeared!

Old Harder was about to go crazy. With the old Duke's current state, he needed someone's help even to walk. How could he leave?He must have been kidnapped!

He anxiously wanted to seek help, but was stopped by these nobles, asking him for an explanation.

Just when he couldn't help but want to break through violently, the cooling time of Fragment Time was up, and the female magician opened the door to another world under the persecution of everyone.

Julian came out at this time.

"What's going on here? What are you doing?" Cosmo seemed to be a different person since he came out, holding the Tiger Roaring Sword in his hand, and looked at everyone with cold eyes.

Julian was stunned for a moment, his appearance was very similar to that of the old duke before, all of a sudden, the scene was silent, and everyone, including the big nobles, was intimidated by the aura of a young man.

Cosmo raised the Tiger Roaring Sword and said calmly, "I got the Tiger Roaring Sword, and I also got Grandpa's will at the same time."

"A will?" Everyone asked in unison.

Cosmo nodded calmly, and then took out a letter under everyone's shocked gaze.

He said: "My cousin Julian and I found this next to the Tiger Roaring Sword. Whoever gets this letter must make it public."

Everyone's eyes focused on the letter, and many people cast their eyes on Julian, obviously hoping to get a testimony from him.

Cosmo looked at him calmly, sure that he would not expose him.

Julian: ...MMP!You guys are really well prepared!

He bit the bullet and nodded: "Yes." He and Cosmo can be regarded as real grasshoppers on the same rope. If something goes wrong, the other can't escape, so as an accomplice, he can only be caught. Forced to lie for him.

With Julian's testimony, Cosmo's words are much more credible.He read the 'will' among them. In addition to entrusting the Duke's mansion to the person who got the Tiger Roaring Sword, the will also emphasized that the Duke himself did not want others to see the scene of his weak death, so he left early up.

Everyone sighed again, feeling very sorry for the ending of the old duke.

Cosmo excused that he was tired after a battle and needed to rest, and successfully sent those difficult nobles away.

After everyone left, Julian squinted at him: "How do you know that the old Duke is gone? What if he left a substitute?"

Cosmo smiled meaningfully: "I have more than one letter in my arms."

Julian: ...you cow!

Cosmo had just succeeded, and there were still many things to deal with. Old Harder read the letter and recognized the duke's notes, so he showed great respect to Cosmo who got the Tiger Roaring Sword.

Although he was a little regretful that Julian, the old duke's favorite, did not get the Tiger Roaring Sword, but he was relieved when he saw the two brothers bickering.

Don't let the brother-in-law of the previous generation happen again, it's too cruel for anyone.

After Cosmo left, Julian stopped the old Hud who was about to leave: "Grandpa Hud, I just found out that the members of the Church of the Holy Light have disappeared. What happened?"

Old Harder was a little surprised that Julian would pay attention to the Church of the Holy Light, but he didn't think too much about it, and said, "Yes, it seems that the priest Hualani suddenly fell ill, and Mr. Garcia had to send him back to the church for treatment."

Julian's heart moved slightly. In the maze, the old prince said that he seduced the priest of the Church of the Holy Light. Did that Hualani do something?Otherwise how can 'sudden disease? '

He wanted to see Owen, but he was worried that the matter of the title had just been settled, and he didn't know how many people were against the Duke's mansion, and his actions might have consequences.

Although Cosmo is just his cheap cousin, it's not good to cause trouble for others.

Julian suppressed the urgency in his heart, and returned to his yard to take a good rest. He told Sidney pick and choose what happened in the maze, which was a mission report to some extent.

As for how to deliver this report to the superior Luke, that is something Sidney needs to consider.

In the middle of the night, in a hidden place.

Julian's boss, Luke, was slumped on a chair with a tired face.

"Are you really not telling him about this?" a man asked in the shadows.

"Is there any point in telling him?" Luke asked back.

The man was at a loss for words, and he was silent for a while: "I just feel like a thief, stealing something that doesn't belong to me. You know, he had a chance to get the Tiger Roaring Sword at that time."

Luke rubbed his sore eye sockets, and said lightly: "Don't think about it. At the beginning, his mother tried so hard to escape from this family, and even preferred to endure the pain of mother and child separation. His Majesty once made a promise that he would never Involved in the bad things of the Radcliffe family. This title is not a blessing to him."

"I understand." The man said in a deep voice.

Luke glanced at him: "Don't think about it too much, even if the title of the Radcliffe family does not belong to you, it will not belong to Julian. Your majesty will need your cooperation in the future work. You take this title as your job." The benefits that must come with it are all right. Besides..." He suddenly smiled: "Didn't you promise to owe him a favor? He is now bearing the title of the young master of the Radcliffe family, as long as you show it a little bit between your fingers." A little of that would be enough to feed a little baron."

"Have you decided?" the man asked, "Where do you want to seal his fief?"

Luke sat up straight all of a sudden, and said with a chuckle, "How about the Huita Valley? It's a good place with mountains and sea, Your Majesty treats him well, right?"

The man was silent for a long time before he said: "Are you sure His Majesty liked his mother at the beginning? Didn't hate her so much?"

Owen Diary:

I didn't see Julian again today!

Damn Valani, if she hadn't caused so much trouble, I would have visited Julian's bedroom last night!

The knighthood seems to involve a lot of things, and the news I got from Roland gave me a bad feeling.

Roland advised me to let me transfer as soon as possible, so as not to be involved in some bad things.

I was very hesitant in my heart. I might not be able to see Julian after leaving here. After all, he is now the young master of the Radcliffe family. We are parting this time. Will we have a chance to meet again?

Choice, another damn choice!What am I going to do?
