Your Mightiness

"Are you afraid of me?"

It was the young man who took the initiative to speak. Although he was smiling, his eyes were fixed on August, obviously not wanting to let go of any reaction that August might have.It is very similar to some large carnivores that have the bad habit of teasing their prey before eating. They use inner tightness and outer looseness to paralyze the prey, increasing the entertainment effect.

Seeing that August kept his mouth tightly shut and did not answer, and the pink color of the beautiful lip line faded, the young man spoke again in a soft voice: "Why? Could it be that you have used some special method before to Have you gotten to know me face-to-face?"

The young man's voice was as light as a goose's feather, but the chill revealed behind the words was as heavy as a thousand catties!

August complied with the survival instinct of small animals, while trying his best to hide his already shattered heart, he said: "There are rumors that you have some strange hobbies..."

Yes, that's right, this is it!

Adhering to the spirit of not shedding tears until the coffin was seen, and resolutely not confessing to the other party even if there was a slight ambiguity, August continued to speak more and more courageously.

"...do you like boys?"

A moment of astonishment flashed through the calm and calm smoky eyes of the young man, and he probably didn't expect such a development: "Boy?"

Augustized but passive to active, making the lie more complete.He raised his chest covered with satin folds slightly, trying his best to imitate the voice of a child who wants to pretend to be mature: "Yes, but seeing your equally surprised expression, can I make a bold assumption? , There was some misunderstanding between us."

In an instant, spring blossoms.The atmosphere where the other party was obviously smiling just now, but the air pressure was getting lower and lower seemed to exist only in August's hallucination.

Self-rescue succeeded!

Aguste even began to calmly invite the other party to sit on the chair opposite him, a Gothic wooden chair with a candlestick-like spire, full of a sense of age.A little common sense that can only be known after time travel. In the Middle Ages, even noble families did not have many chairs. Only the owner of the home and his distinguished guests could sit on high-backed chairs that symbolize power and dignity.

After the young man was seated, he resolved the misunderstanding with August.

"The lord with special interests you know failed to come as the king's envoy in the end. For various reasons, I took the initiative to ask Ying to replace him."

August nodded reservedly, and part of the golden curly hair was stuck to his fair cheeks not so honestly, making him look more like a doll.

"I am Raphael Mortimer, Raphael of Norfolk, Earl of March because of your father."

Raphael's words are short but informative.

Thanks to the advantage of tire piercing, August quickly extracted all the hidden content he could know in this sentence.

A. Raphael is indeed related to August's grandmother, Queen Isabella. Raphael was born in Norfolk, where Reising Castle is the place where the Queen Mother spent her twilight years.

B. Raphael was probably indeed an illegitimate child, for the Queen Mother - as the whole world knew - was the lover of Roger Mortimer, [-]st Earl of March.

C. Raphael's feelings towards August were either good or bad.Well probably August's father gave August the Earl of March; bad...for the same reason.It depends on whether there is any special interpretation angle for snake essence disease.

Along with it, there was a text message exchange between August and Raphael.

—My elder brother, before he left home, won me a title from my mother's late lover, who I should probably call father.What is he implying?humiliate me?Pity me?

——He is obviously missing a string in his head, and he is so active in raising a white-eyed wolf.

Back then, August automatically understood the title as a fortune. His elder brother left his mother's lover's inheritance to his half-brother, but the second-year younger brother felt that the elder brother was insulting him.Who would be so bored as to take a large sum of money to insult someone who can't threaten their own interests at all?Guiqiu also insult me ​​like this, okay? !

Whether this kind of logic is right or not, August doesn't know, but he feels that Raphael has followed suit.

In other words, Raphael's feelings towards the eldest brother, the Black Prince, are at least not that bad. As the only child of the Black Prince, Auguste became the direct beneficiary.

Hallelujah, thank you for your hatred of the rich and your poisonous tongue.August began to praise God in his heart, and he felt his whole world light up.

In the afternoon tea chat that followed, August further confirmed this matter.

Raphael's attitude towards August, as he said before, is that he regards August as a relative's child. If Xiaopen is friendly and playful, he will tease him, and if he is too bear, he will say goodbye. .

August put up all his energy and pretended to be a child. Probably because his own IQ is not particularly high, he pretended to be very successful.

Guests are happy.

According to etiquette, after the weather in early winter darkened early, as the owner of the castle, Auguste invited Raphael for dinner.

"My honor." Raphael still kept smiling politely, but this time, his smile seemed less unpredictable.He became like a very qualified elder, and even asked the phrase that children hate to hear when all relatives came, "Have you finished your homework today?"

As a normal eight-year-old boy, August naturally has homework, even if he is a duke, he can't escape studying.Even because he is a duke, he needs to learn more.Light language is the minimum entry three subjects: English, French and Latin.

It is said that Spanish, German, Italian and Greek are likely to be added in the future.

Thinking of this heavy future, August's expression collapsed, and he said to Raphael: "If you continue to chat like this, I don't think we can go on happily."

"I mean, if there is something you don't understand, I can help you." Raphael blinked at August, with a deep meaning.

Help with homework? !August's blue eyes widened.This can have!

The old butler coughed, indicating that this was really not the case.

The old butler was always obedient to August, except for the matter of learning. He felt that there was no shortcut to learning.Regarding Raphael's proposal this time, the old butler didn't say anything on the surface, but he began to feel a little dissatisfied with Raphael in his heart. How could he persuade our lovely lord not to study hard? !

Raphael is a comprehensive person, as long as he thinks, he can always take care of everyone's feelings, so he hurriedly added to the old housekeeper: "Of course, I believe Al's study must be very good, after all, he is so smart."

Orr was August's nickname. He didn't know what was going on, but after afternoon tea, Raphael started calling him by nicknames that expressed closeness.

The old butler's expression turned pale, and he talked about August's study progress in a humble and showing off tone.

After hearing that Auguste's English is very good, Raphael's expression darkened: "Aside from these three, have you not considered adding some languages?"

"Not yet, but it will be soon." The old butler answered without leaking.

August walked in the front. He was a little confused, but he still instinctively felt that the topic surrounding language was dangerous.

Fortunately, Hall soon arrived and helped August get out of the crisis.

In medieval architecture, the "hall" is undoubtedly the most important place of life.For people other than August Otaku Duke, they definitely spend more time in the lobby of their own house or other people's house than in the bedroom.Most scholars of later generations also agree that the hall is a symbol of a family, because the fireplace that can show status is there.

Fireplaces were a kind of art in the Middle Ages, created by specialized artists, and many nobles showed off their expensive fireplaces.The fireplace has the practicality of being able to provide heat, which is also a top priority for a cold castle.

Therefore, the hall with a fireplace naturally has a detached status.

The layout of Bristol Castle is the same as that of other castles that transitioned naturally to the function of living rather than military in the [-]th and [-]th centuries. It also has a Gothic hall, full of simple and solemn straight lines, inlaid with many This kind of stained glass window gives the room a mysterious purple color, with an indescribable religious holiness.

In the hall, a huge nine-story sideboard stood against the wall, just next to the screen.

The cabinet is covered with delicate woven cushions, embroidered with family crests, to add bright colors to the drab castle hall, or, er, to make the hall more cold and solemn.

The former route is adopted in August’s castle hall, which is full of childishness and life under the old butler gaygay’s aesthetic.

The specially designed majestic family crest seems to be crying.

While the dinner was still being prepared, August showed Raphael a tour of his set of tableware, and inquired about the time Raphael left by the way.

At present, Raphael is a very easy-going person, with humorous words and elegant temperament, but in order to prevent his trumpet from being picked up and lost, August's flaming dog soul can only pretend that it is not It does not exist, and it is difficult to distance yourself from the beauty.

then……

August was told that the beauty would actually live in Fort Bristol for some time to come.

sky!want!Death!I!
