I Destined You [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 16 House Arrest
"Aren't you worried at all?" Sophia sat in the carriage, frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Lan.
Such a deliberate murder happened in the City of Ashes, and the Lansol family didn't dare to delay.In the past few days, he has been rushing on the road overnight, for fear that there will be any mistakes on the road.And what disturbed the guards of the Lansol family even more was that even after Swordsman Auchi said that he would report the plot to murder the heir of the Lansol family to Duke Andre, Priest Cliff did not panic at all, as if he had already thought about it. Good way back.
Even if Sophia was the priest's wife, it was impossible for her to return to Priest Cliff's side after going through that kind of thing.Even if others don't know, Sophia knows that Priest Cliff is just a decent person.This is really ironic. As a priest of the Holy See, his mind is so dirty.
"What are you worried about?" Xiao Lan's voice was tired. Sitting in the carriage every day these days, he just felt his whole body go limp.
"Don't forget, Priest Cliff said he would give father a satisfactory explanation." Sophia stared at Xiao Lan angrily and helplessly, "Since he can say that, there must be something that can completely clean this matter up." Get ready."
"You don't have any handle in his hands, do you?"
"Me?" Xiao Lan paused for a moment, then frowned slightly and thought for a while, "I was just taken over by the people of the family in a hurry, and the things about me before... you all know, what else can you have?"
What's more, he was caught by everyone on the big bed in the high-end club.
Sophia didn't say a word. In fact, even if she was not in the family territory, she had heard about [Aesop].He has a lot of bad deeds, spends his days and nights, is a vain and spendthrift person, and has no talent. Such an heir is not even a ten thousandth of her brother Sogefield.Before she met [Aesop], she had also heard that this man bought a slave as a pet during the journey, and accompanied him day and night. Naturally, Sophia couldn't bear to behave like this.
But at this moment, Sophia looked at the child in Xiao Lan's arms.The child's orange-red hair fell on Xiao Lan's shoulders, and he had already fallen asleep in Xiao Lan's arms, not only defenseless but also completely dependent, with one hand still holding Xiao Lan's cuff tightly.
How did this buy a slave?It's basically raising a younger brother.
Previously, he was worried that the Lansol family's property would be ruined by such bad people who would only ruin their reputation and family property, but now it seems that this is completely unnecessary.Sophia only felt that Xiao Lan was too simple, without aristocratic airs, and even didn't really recognize her identity at all.Regarding his own situation, he just obeyed the arrangement peacefully, but at the same time acted according to his own mind.
Such a simple person is actually too easy to ponder.
That's why Sophia was even more disturbed at this time.
Sophia already felt that the storm was coming, but Xiao Lan didn't feel it at all. I don't know if she didn't notice it or didn't care at all.
"But, do you think Priest Cliff has been too attentive recently?" Xiao Lan felt that something was wrong because the old man didn't know what happened. From that day on, instead of being indifferent, he entertained Xiao Lan even more enthusiastically.Even though Aoqi and his entourage blocked Priest Cliff, Priest Cliff seemed to be looking for an opportunity to talk to him all the way.
"He's taken a fancy to you." Sophia replied casually.After leaving the city of ashes, not only the attitude of Cliff changed, but also the attitude of the surrounding guards became more respectful, and the prejudice hidden in the eyes before also subsided.
"Cough! Cough cough!" Xiao Lan immediately choked out a breath of fright, and then coughed.The child who was sleeping on Xiao Lan's chest didn't know whether he had woken up with a start or hadn't slept all the time, so he opened his eyes and patted Xiao Lan's back lightly to help him breathe.
"Me? What are you kidding?" Although Xiao Lan knew that it is not uncommon for men to get married in this country, he never thought for a moment that someone would fall in love with him. "What's more, aren't you his wife?"
How can anyone fall in love with other men in front of his wife?What's more, he's still Madam's brother!
"How could I not know? Before I married him, he treated me like this, even with the same look in his eyes." Sophia sneered, anyone would think it was a sign of sincere liking, but they didn't know that such liking was also true. It's just for a while, "But don't worry, even if Cliff becomes the bishop, he won't be able to get the heir of the Ransol family to go."
Xiao Lan only felt a chill, this old man was really scary.
"Lord Aesop, when I return to the territory, can I still stay with you?" The child turned his head and looked at Xiao Lan with a pair of clear red eyes.He tilted his head, and asked softly in the unique childish voice of a child, but there was some caution in his eyes.
"Of course." Xiao Lan answered subconsciously, but after answering, Xiao Lan became a little confused.When he arrives at the territory, I'm afraid that everything will fall to the ground. Is it possible that he really wants to be the heir of the Lansol family?
Arman squinted his eyes slightly, and smiled crookedly, those beautiful red eyes reflected Xiao Lan in it.
Xiao Lan couldn't help but reached out and rubbed the child's hair: This child's smile is getting more and more painful!
Now Xiao Lan finally understood why her parents always said that when she was young, she was always taken by her sister.Even if she took her away for a while, the elder sister refused, so it was too satisfying to have a younger brother by her side.Especially after facing He Mo's dead face day and night before, looking at Yarman's cute smiling face now feels like a miracle.
When he was about to arrive at the territory, Xiao Lan couldn't help thinking about many things in his mind.For example, what would Prince Andrei say to himself, will he learn how to manage the family business, will there be a magister to teach him magic in the future, will the gang of old men he met before start tormenting him every day again ...However, these are just imaginations.
Xiao Lan did see his father, but it was only to the extent of looking at each other at the door.After that, Priest Cliff invited Duke Andrew into the room to discuss the matter. After the conversation, Xiao Lan was locked up.
House arrest?
Xiao Lan felt baffled. As Ransol's heir, he was sent here non-stop by a large number of people, so let's just forget about the clean-up banquet.But it's not enough to lock him in a room and just ignore him, right?
But all he knew was that Prince Andrew was furious.
He even remembered the cold and angry eyes in Prince Andrei's eyes when he gave the order, even with killing intent.
And all this is aimed at him, Aesop Ransol.
Xiao Lan really didn't understand, he followed the Lansol family's arrangement in everything, what he did to make Duke Andre so furious, even without a single conversation, he was so angry that he was put under house arrest .
Xiao Lan opened the door, and the swordsman guarding the door immediately blocked his way out with his sword. He frowned, "Where's Aoqi?"
"I don't know, my lord, please go back to the room."
It was still such a cold answer, Xiao Lan had listened to it at least a dozen times.
"Then what about Locke? Where's Sophia? At least let someone I know see me!" Xiao Lan was locked in the room by himself. He didn't know what happened, so he had to find someone to tell him why. How about this, "Also, where is Arman? What about the child I brought over?"
"I don't know, please..."
"If you tell me again that I don't know, believe it or not, I will rush out now!" Seeing the swordsman's still indifferent attitude, Xiao Lan was sullen, he never thought that such a result would happen when he arrived at the territory.He stretched out his hand, and a ball of flames had already surged into his palm, if he still didn't answer, then he had no choice but to forcefully rush out.
"I was taken away by the Locke swordsman." The two guards saw that Xiao Lan seemed to be really angry, put away their swords and knelt down respectfully, "Please return to the room, my lord, we are only following orders from the Duke."
The Duke's order, the Duke's order!In the end is why the order!
Obviously he was the one who was almost killed by Priest Cliff on the way, but when he arrived at the territory, he was the one who was locked up instead!
Xiao Lan slammed the door shut, but since he knew Arman was at Locke's place, he could be regarded as being taken care of by an acquaintance.
Xiao Lan didn't see anyone until nightfall, but this person was the person Xiao Lan didn't want to see the most.
"How does it feel to be back in the family territory?" Priest Cliff entered the door and looked at Xiao Lan with an amiable smile.Xiao Lan lowered his eyes and said nothing, with a cold expression on his face, he turned his eyes away to look at the people who entered the door.
"You don't want to know what I said to Duke Andrew to make him so angry?" Priest Cliff was not angry and continued to ask.Xiao Lan frowned and raised his eyes, didn't speak, then lowered his head again, even if he wanted to know, he didn't want to hear what this person said.
"Prince Andre, we have promised our marriage." Priest Cliff smiled calmly with his lips slightly pursed.
"Impossible!" Xiao Lan finally couldn't help shouting loudly, he raised his eyes and saw the man's slightly narrowed eyes, as if he had expected his reaction at this time, and seemed to be appreciating Xiao Lan's sullenness at this time look.
"Of course I can't get what I want." Priest Cliff's cloudy eyes had a smile that made Xiao Ling disgusted, and that expression of being sure to get it made Xiao Lan feel that things were going wrong for the first time. Local development, "I got the title of magister, I got Sophia, I got the position of bishop, and you too."
"I am the heir of the Ransol family." Xiao Lan clenched his fists and retorted in a deep voice.
"Do you think you are really the heir to the Ransol family?" Priest Cliff smiled lightly, but Xiao Lan's heart was gradually chilled by that smile, "Although Major General Sogfield is dead, his wife It has been five months pregnant. The Lansol family just needs a shield before the child grows up."
Xiao Lan opened his mouth, his heart was shocked, his throat became dry for a while.
"This matter is something tacitly understood by the Lansol family, and you are the only one who doesn't know."
"Prince Andre is not yet old, and you will only appear in the name of the heir in the past few years. The Lansol family has a huge family property and has many enemies. Although I was the first person to murder you, you can also expect After this, similar incidents will come back endlessly. No matter how many dangers and disputes there are, they will be carried by you, they just need to train the son of Major General Su Gefei well behind the scenes."
"At that time, whether you are a lowly biological mother, or a magician, and all kinds of bad deeds before you will become obstacles to you becoming the heir, and the people of the imperial court will definitely criticize you a lot. Then, the Lansol family only needs to Take advantage of the trend and push the son of Su Gefei up, you are just a temporary pawn used as a cover-up."
"This duke's hereditary position, do you think you can sit there?"
Xiao Lan was stunned, he took a deep breath, and clenched his fingers trembling slightly.He couldn't tell what was on his mind, but he wasn't disappointed, after all, he was just Xiao Lan, not that [Aesop]. He didn't think too much about the duke position.But he was still a little depressed, that is to say, it wasn't Aoqi, Locke, and Sophia, they all knew about it.
"Even so, why did you lock me up?" Xiao Lan calmed down and looked at Priest Cliff.
"Because I said something to the Duke." Cliff paused, then smiled slowly, but that smile made Xiao Lan shudder.
"Aesop Lansol, in collusion with the sinners, murdered Major General Su Gefei in order to obtain the heir of the Lansol family."
"You, what are you talking about?" Xiao Lan raised his eyes in disbelief, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
"That kid named Yarman is a sinner?" Cliff said lightly, and he approached Xiao Lan, "He came from the place where Major General Su Gefei was killed, Susie Billy Village Bar?"
"Serve a sinful slave by your side, knowing that the Holy Order has used forbidden drugs to protect a descendant of the sinful. Even after you know the prophecy, you don't keep your face, don't you just want to use the power of the sinful Do you have the strength to achieve your goal?"
"It's not like that!" Xiao Lan shook his head, feeling flustered, he had no idea that things would turn out like this.
"Defying the Holy Order and using the forbidden potion against the majesty of the royal family, even the nominal heir of Lansol, the crime of disobeying the Holy See and the imperial court at the same time is not easy to bear. And the crime of colluding with the sinful family, If this great title is placed on the head of the Ransol family, no matter how much glory and glory it has, it will disappear."
"What's more, the most beloved son Andre raised wholeheartedly was killed by you on purpose, how can you not be furious?"
Xiao Lan was stunned. The development of the matter has exceeded expectations, and it is developing in a completely unknown direction.When he rescued Yarman, he never thought that there would be such a result.
"How do you know? Who told you?" Xiao Lan suddenly thought of something. No one knows that Arman is a sinner. Locke, "Oki? Or Locke?"
Xiao Lan's pupils tightened suddenly, and he immediately rushed towards the door.
[Where is Arman?What about the kid I brought over? ]
[Taken away by Locke Swordsman. ]
If Locke told Priest Cliff, if Locke was involved in the premeditation, if Locke's thoughts were the same as Priest Cliff, then... Xiao Lan always felt that he was out of place in this world, like the sky was falling It has nothing to do with him, because this is not his world, and it is not a place where he can stay forever.
So he doesn't care or not, and doesn't even think about what will happen next, and has always just taken one step at a time.Even if the murder was planned by Locke, even if he was just a shield for Ransol's heir, even if Duke Andre misunderstood that he killed Sogefi, Xiao Lan could not care, but Arman could not.
Whether it was the influence of He Mo before, or the day and night with Arman, or the words of the destined person.
From the moment he bought Yarman, he only gave himself two choices.
——Shelter to the end, or kill him with your own hands.
"Where is Arman!" Xiao Lan couldn't open the door, even if he slammed it hard, he realized that the moment Priest Cliff came in, he had cast a magic circle in the room.He couldn't open the door, and even his own magic power was restrained.He turned his head, glared at Cliff angrily, stepped forward and grabbed Cliff by the collar.
"If you show such a strong love for that sinner in front of me, I might want to torture him." Priest Cliff smiled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, which made Xiao Lan startled suddenly, and all his words froze. in the throat.
He looked at Xiao Lan who was so close to him, couldn't help looking at Xiao Lan with admiring and obsessive eyes, stretched out his hand to caress Xiao Lan's cheek, Xiao Lan immediately frowned and backed away in disgust.
Cliff smiled instead of anger, "Do you know how charming you were that night? Standing on the dark ashes, amidst the golden and red flames, you used the flames recklessly, without fear or panic, just so powerful And beautiful."
In the dark night, it is like a light that suddenly cuts through and is chased by people.
The blue eyes that reflected the fire calmly reflected all the darkness in the city of ashes, but burned everything up, leaving only the bright fire.
It would be great if he could imprison this light in his eyes and let him shine secretly in one person's eyes.
"If you stay by my side, I will naturally give you what you want, wealth, magic, and rights. Even the Lansol family is not unavailable. If you want it, you don't need to rely on the power of that sinful family. I will naturally give you what you want." I will try my best to get it for you." Priest Cliff said with a look of determination, even if Xiao Ling ignored Cliff, he didn't mind.It's just a person in a cage, so he will naturally have thousands of ways to make him obey, but now he is willing to give this person a little time and favor.
Xiao Lan stared blankly at the ground, without saying a word, his thoughts were in a mess.
"Calm down here, I'll come see you tomorrow." Priest Cliff didn't say anything, turned and left.
And in another part of the Ransol family there was a quarrel--
"Father!"
"Sophia, you go back to me!"
"Go back, where do you want me to go? Back to that old man?"
"You are his wife, how can you use such a disrespectful address! He is Priest Cliff, who is about to become a bishop!" Duke Andre stood up from his chair, and pointed at Sophia in front of him angrily. .
"So what about becoming a bishop? When did the Lansol family fall to the point of relying on a bishop! He didn't intend to help the Lansol family at all. I have become his wife so far. Don't I know that this man is a bishop?" What a greedy and despicable person!" Sophia said loudly, her eyes flushed, "What's more, he intends to murder Brother Aesop on the way..."
"Don't mention that man with a dirty mind!" Andre was even more angry when he heard Aesop's name, "He doesn't deserve to be your elder brother at all, and he doesn't even deserve to have the surname Ransol! He colluded with the sinners and murdered Su Ge Fei, trying to replace it!"
"How is it possible?" Sophia was completely stunned, she shook her head, "This is absolutely impossible!"
"You can't believe the words of Priest Cliff, so what about Locke's most heartfelt words to Su Gefei? Even Orchi has admitted the existence of the sinner! Collusion with the sinner can be big or small, but the Pope Cliff has always cared deeply about the sinners, and Cliff really wants to get to the bottom of it. This matter has nothing to do with the entire Ransol family. If it weren't for such a big deal, why should I be manipulated by Cliff." Ender Duke Lie became more and more furious, clenched his hands into fists, and an astonishing momentum emerged, "And So Geoffrey..."
Andrei thought of his gifted son with a wave of grief and overwhelming rage.Such a heroic and outstanding child, who was supposed to lead the Lansol family back to the top, died humiliatingly in the conspiracy of a sinner and an illegitimate child.
"Sophia, don't mention this person again! There is no need to mention it again! I will handle it myself!" Duke Andrei's eyes spread murderous.
"I'll deal with it myself." Sophia murmured these words silently, which obviously meant to give up Xiao Lan, and even cleanly deal with it and kill that sinner together.Sofia's mind suddenly flashed the look of that person looking at her curiously when they first met, the scene of calling her in the city of ashes to pave a way for her with firelight, the scene of lazily laughing and talking to make her laugh in the carriage. With blue eyes, "But..."
"No but. You stay with Cliff and show me what his plans are!" Duke Andre said seriously, "Remember, everything I do is for Ranso The Er family, you too. Don’t think that I don’t know, you are still thinking of leaving Priest Cliff’s selfishness!”
Sophia had nothing to say at this time.
She closed her eyes tiredly and desolately, then nodded, "I see, father."
The moment she went out, Sophia felt that her legs were too heavy to move, and the late night air was sucked into her lungs, but a thorough coldness spread throughout her body.Then Sophia saw the familiar figure, standing in the dark silence.
Sophia walked over subconsciously, and even wanted to rush over, but when she approached quickly, her heart suddenly calmed down.When she walked up to him, she was dazed and ignorant, as if something blocked her.
She stared at the man's face for a long time, feeling complicated and ups and downs, as if something was about to surge out of her chest.Suppressing all the words she wanted to blurt out, she was silent for a long time before finally calming down and thinking of what she should ask.
"Arman is a sinner?"
"Yes."
So far, Sophia has nothing to say.
"He didn't kill brother Su Gefei." Sophia said with lowered eyes.
"I know." It was precisely because of knowing that Aoqi would help conceal Arman's identity.
Sophia smiled sadly, for Aesop and herself.
In such a situation where she violated Cliff's words in public, and even drew a knife to each other, I don't know how she will be treated after she returns.Of the first two wives, one died of illness and the other was murdered. I don't know how she will die when it is her turn.
"I'm leaving." Sophia said softly, then walked forward with her head buried.
"If I take you away now, will you go?"
Sophia's steps stopped suddenly, her eyes widened, and she turned her head slowly, almost in disbelief.
Her gaze instantly met the man's focused gaze, which was obviously cold and indifferent, but at this moment Sophia felt a hot attachment.She couldn't escape such a sight, and even longed to have it all the time.She slowly came to her senses, she thought she would never hear these words from this man in this life, suddenly a sharp pain came from her heart, and the pain spread instantly.
[If I say I want to leave, will you take me away? ]
On the eve of Priest Yucliff's wedding, she also asked this man.But she actually knew that she was the daughter of the Ransol family, and Aoqi was the entourage of the heir Su Gefei, neither of them could walk away, and neither could abandon the glory of the Ransol family, just like this moment so-so.
Sophia's hand subconsciously stroked the ring on her hand, and then slowly retracted it.
"Auqi, you know." Sophia said softly, we all know it.
Her eyes were red, as if she was about to lose control of her emotions, she turned around abruptly and walked out quickly.
"Sophia, I lost."
Sophia's footsteps slowed down again, and she heard Aoqi's words through the thin and cold air.
For the first time, all pride, all indifference, and self-restraint have faded away.
She remembered that when she was practicing swordsmanship when she was a child, her brother would let her, Locke would let her, and everyone would let him.Only this person, who has been serious and rigid since childhood, never let her win a move in his hands, but at this moment he said that he lost.
Sophia didn't dare to turn her head, she just walked slowly, afraid that she would not be able to turn her head back.
Tears couldn't stop overflowing from the red eye sockets, and slowly slid down the fair cheeks drop by drop.
It's obviously a match between two people, why did both of us lose?
Such a deliberate murder happened in the City of Ashes, and the Lansol family didn't dare to delay.In the past few days, he has been rushing on the road overnight, for fear that there will be any mistakes on the road.And what disturbed the guards of the Lansol family even more was that even after Swordsman Auchi said that he would report the plot to murder the heir of the Lansol family to Duke Andre, Priest Cliff did not panic at all, as if he had already thought about it. Good way back.
Even if Sophia was the priest's wife, it was impossible for her to return to Priest Cliff's side after going through that kind of thing.Even if others don't know, Sophia knows that Priest Cliff is just a decent person.This is really ironic. As a priest of the Holy See, his mind is so dirty.
"What are you worried about?" Xiao Lan's voice was tired. Sitting in the carriage every day these days, he just felt his whole body go limp.
"Don't forget, Priest Cliff said he would give father a satisfactory explanation." Sophia stared at Xiao Lan angrily and helplessly, "Since he can say that, there must be something that can completely clean this matter up." Get ready."
"You don't have any handle in his hands, do you?"
"Me?" Xiao Lan paused for a moment, then frowned slightly and thought for a while, "I was just taken over by the people of the family in a hurry, and the things about me before... you all know, what else can you have?"
What's more, he was caught by everyone on the big bed in the high-end club.
Sophia didn't say a word. In fact, even if she was not in the family territory, she had heard about [Aesop].He has a lot of bad deeds, spends his days and nights, is a vain and spendthrift person, and has no talent.

"Cough! Cough cough!" Xiao Lan immediately choked out a breath of fright, and then coughed.The child who was sleeping on Xiao Lan's chest didn't know whether he had woken up with a start or hadn't slept all the time, so he opened his eyes and patted Xiao Lan's back lightly to help him breathe.
"Me? What are you kidding?" Although Xiao Lan knew that it is not uncommon for men to get married in this country, he never thought for a moment that someone would fall in love with him. "What's more, aren't you his wife?"
How can anyone fall in love with other men in front of his wife?What's more, he's still Madam's brother!
"How could I not know? Before I married him, he treated me like this, even with the same look in his eyes." Sophia sneered, anyone would think it was a sign of sincere liking, but they didn't know that such liking was also true. It's just for a while, "But don't worry, even if Cliff becomes the bishop, he won't be able to get the heir of the Ransol family to go."
Xiao Lan only felt a chill, this old man was really scary.
"Lord Aesop, when I return to the territory, can I still stay with you?" The child turned his head and looked at Xiao Lan with a pair of clear red eyes.He tilted his head, and asked softly in the unique childish voice of a child, but there was some caution in his eyes.
"Of course." Xiao Lan answered subconsciously, but after answering, Xiao Lan became a little confused.When he arrives at the territory, I'm afraid that everything will fall to the ground. Is it possible that he really wants to be the heir of the Lansol family?
Arman squinted his eyes slightly, and smiled crookedly, those beautiful red eyes reflected Xiao Lan in it.
Xiao Lan couldn't help but reached out and rubbed the child's hair: This child's smile is getting more and more painful!

When he was about to arrive at the territory, Xiao Lan couldn't help thinking about many things in his mind.For example, what would Prince Andrei say to himself, will he learn how to manage the family business, will there be a magister to teach him magic in the future, will the gang of old men he met before start tormenting him every day again ...However, these are just imaginations.
Xiao Lan did see his father, but it was only to the extent of looking at each other at the door.After that, Priest Cliff invited Duke Andrew into the room to discuss the matter. After the conversation, Xiao Lan was locked up.
House arrest?
Xiao Lan felt baffled. As Ransol's heir, he was sent here non-stop by a large number of people, so let's just forget about the clean-up banquet.But it's not enough to lock him in a room and just ignore him, right?
But all he knew was that Prince Andrew was furious.
He even remembered the cold and angry eyes in Prince Andrei's eyes when he gave the order, even with killing intent.
And all this is aimed at him, Aesop Ransol.
Xiao Lan really didn't understand, he followed the Lansol family's arrangement in everything, what he did to make Duke Andre so furious, even without a single conversation, he was so angry that he was put under house arrest .
Xiao Lan opened the door, and the swordsman guarding the door immediately blocked his way out with his sword. He frowned, "Where's Aoqi?"

"If you tell me again that I don't know, believe it or not, I will rush out now!" Seeing the swordsman's still indifferent attitude, Xiao Lan was sullen, he never thought that such a result would happen when he arrived at the territory.He stretched out his hand, and a ball of flames had already surged into his palm, if he still didn't answer, then he had no choice but to forcefully rush out.
"I was taken away by the Locke swordsman." The two guards saw that Xiao Lan seemed to be really angry, put away their swords and knelt down respectfully, "Please return to the room, my lord, we are only following orders from the Duke."
The Duke's order, the Duke's order!In the end is why the order!
Obviously he was the one who was almost killed by Priest Cliff on the way, but when he arrived at the territory, he was the one who was locked up instead!
Xiao Lan slammed the door shut, but since he knew Arman was at Locke's place, he could be regarded as being taken care of by an acquaintance.
Xiao Lan didn't see anyone until nightfall, but this person was the person Xiao Lan didn't want to see the most.
"How does it feel to be back in the family territory?" Priest Cliff entered the door and looked at Xiao Lan with an amiable smile.Xiao Lan lowered his eyes and said nothing, with a cold expression on his face, he turned his eyes away to look at the people who entered the door.
"You don't want to know what I said to Duke Andrew to make him so angry?" Priest Cliff was not angry and continued to ask.Xiao Lan frowned and raised his eyes, didn't speak, then lowered his head again, even if he wanted to know, he didn't want to hear what this person said.
"Prince Andre, we have promised our marriage." Priest Cliff smiled calmly with his lips slightly pursed.
"Impossible!" Xiao Lan finally couldn't help shouting loudly, he raised his eyes and saw the man's slightly narrowed eyes, as if he had expected his reaction at this time, and seemed to be appreciating Xiao Lan's sullenness at this time look.
"Of course I can't get what I want." Priest Cliff's cloudy eyes had a smile that made Xiao Ling disgusted, and that expression of being sure to get it made Xiao Lan feel that things were going wrong for the first time. Local development, "I got the title of magister, I got Sophia, I got the position of bishop, and you too."
"I am the heir of the Ransol family." Xiao Lan clenched his fists and retorted in a deep voice.
"Do you think you are really the heir to the Ransol family?" Priest Cliff smiled lightly, but Xiao Lan's heart was gradually chilled by that smile, "Although Major General Sogfield is dead, his wife It has been five months pregnant. The Lansol family just needs a shield before the child grows up."
Xiao Lan opened his mouth, his heart was shocked, his throat became dry for a while.
"This matter is something tacitly understood by the Lansol family, and you are the only one who doesn't know."
"Prince Andre is not yet old, and you will only appear in the name of the heir in the past few years. The Lansol family has a huge family property and has many enemies. Although I was the first person to murder you, you can also expect After this, similar incidents will come back endlessly. No matter how many dangers and disputes there are, they will be carried by you, they just need to train the son of Major General Su Gefei well behind the scenes."
"At that time, whether you are a lowly biological mother, or a magician, and all kinds of bad deeds before you will become obstacles to you becoming the heir, and the people of the imperial court will definitely criticize you a lot. Then, the Lansol family only needs to Take advantage of the trend and push the son of Su Gefei up, you are just a temporary pawn used as a cover-up."
"This duke's hereditary position, do you think you can sit there?"
Xiao Lan was stunned, he took a deep breath, and clenched his fingers trembling slightly.He couldn't tell what was on his mind, but he wasn't disappointed, after all, he was just Xiao Lan, not that [Aesop]. He didn't think too much about the duke position.But he was still a little depressed, that is to say, it wasn't Aoqi, Locke, and Sophia, they all knew about it.
"Even so, why did you lock me up?" Xiao Lan calmed down and looked at Priest Cliff.
"Because I said something to the Duke." Cliff paused, then smiled slowly, but that smile made Xiao Lan shudder.
"Aesop Lansol, in collusion with the sinners, murdered Major General Su Gefei in order to obtain the heir of the Lansol family."
"You, what are you talking about?" Xiao Lan raised his eyes in disbelief, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
"That kid named Yarman is a sinner?" Cliff said lightly, and he approached Xiao Lan, "He came from the place where Major General Su Gefei was killed, Susie Billy Village Bar?"
"Serve a sinful slave by your side, knowing that the Holy Order has used forbidden drugs to protect a descendant of the sinful. Even after you know the prophecy, you don't keep your face, don't you just want to use the power of the sinful Do you have the strength to achieve your goal?"
"It's not like that!" Xiao Lan shook his head, feeling flustered, he had no idea that things would turn out like this.
"Defying the Holy Order and using the forbidden potion against the majesty of the royal family, even the nominal heir of Lansol, the crime of disobeying the Holy See and the imperial court at the same time is not easy to bear. And the crime of colluding with the sinful family, If this great title is placed on the head of the Ransol family, no matter how much glory and glory it has, it will disappear."
"What's more, the most beloved son Andre raised wholeheartedly was killed by you on purpose, how can you not be furious?"
Xiao Lan was stunned. The development of the matter has exceeded expectations, and it is developing in a completely unknown direction.When he rescued Yarman, he never thought that there would be such a result.
"How do you know? Who told you?" Xiao Lan suddenly thought of something. No one knows that Arman is a sinner. Locke, "Oki? Or Locke?"
Xiao Lan's pupils tightened suddenly, and he immediately rushed towards the door.
[Where is Arman?What about the kid I brought over? ]
[Taken away by Locke Swordsman. ]
If Locke told Priest Cliff, if Locke was involved in the premeditation, if Locke's thoughts were the same as Priest Cliff, then... Xiao Lan always felt that he was out of place in this world, like the sky was falling It has nothing to do with him, because this is not his world, and it is not a place where he can stay forever.
So he doesn't care or not, and doesn't even think about what will happen next, and has always just taken one step at a time.Even if the murder was planned by Locke, even if he was just a shield for Ransol's heir, even if Duke Andre misunderstood that he killed Sogefi, Xiao Lan could not care, but Arman could not.
Whether it was the influence of He Mo before, or the day and night with Arman, or the words of the destined person.
From the moment he bought Yarman, he only gave himself two choices.
——Shelter to the end, or kill him with your own hands.
"Where is Arman!" Xiao Lan couldn't open the door, even if he slammed it hard, he realized that the moment Priest Cliff came in, he had cast a magic circle in the room.He couldn't open the door, and even his own magic power was restrained.He turned his head, glared at Cliff angrily, stepped forward and grabbed Cliff by the collar.
"If you show such a strong love for that sinner in front of me, I might want to torture him." Priest Cliff smiled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, which made Xiao Lan startled suddenly, and all his words froze. in the throat.
He looked at Xiao Lan who was so close to him, couldn't help looking at Xiao Lan with admiring and obsessive eyes, stretched out his hand to caress Xiao Lan's cheek, Xiao Lan immediately frowned and backed away in disgust.
Cliff smiled instead of anger, "Do you know how charming you were that night? Standing on the dark ashes, amidst the golden and red flames, you used the flames recklessly, without fear or panic, just so powerful And beautiful."
In the dark night, it is like a light that suddenly cuts through and is chased by people.
The blue eyes that reflected the fire calmly reflected all the darkness in the city of ashes, but burned everything up, leaving only the bright fire.
It would be great if he could imprison this light in his eyes and let him shine secretly in one person's eyes.
"If you stay by my side, I will naturally give you what you want, wealth, magic, and rights. Even the Lansol family is not unavailable. If you want it, you don't need to rely on the power of that sinful family. I will naturally give you what you want." I will try my best to get it for you." Priest Cliff said with a look of determination, even if Xiao Ling ignored Cliff, he didn't mind.It's just a person in a cage, so he will naturally have thousands of ways to make him obey, but now he is willing to give this person a little time and favor.
Xiao Lan stared blankly at the ground, without saying a word, his thoughts were in a mess.
"Calm down here, I'll come see you tomorrow." Priest Cliff didn't say anything, turned and left.
And in another part of the Ransol family there was a quarrel--
"Father!"
"Sophia, you go back to me!"
"Go back, where do you want me to go? Back to that old man?"
"You are his wife, how can you use such a disrespectful address! He is Priest Cliff, who is about to become a bishop!" Duke Andre stood up from his chair, and pointed at Sophia in front of him angrily. .
"So what about becoming a bishop? When did the Lansol family fall to the point of relying on a bishop! He didn't intend to help the Lansol family at all. I have become his wife so far. Don't I know that this man is a bishop?" What a greedy and despicable person!" Sophia said loudly, her eyes flushed, "What's more, he intends to murder Brother Aesop on the way..."
"Don't mention that man with a dirty mind!" Andre was even more angry when he heard Aesop's name, "He doesn't deserve to be your elder brother at all, and he doesn't even deserve to have the surname Ransol! He colluded with the sinners and murdered Su Ge Fei, trying to replace it!"
"How is it possible?" Sophia was completely stunned, she shook her head, "This is absolutely impossible!"
"You can't believe the words of Priest Cliff, so what about Locke's most heartfelt words to Su Gefei? Even Orchi has admitted the existence of the sinner! Collusion with the sinner can be big or small, but the Pope Cliff has always cared deeply about the sinners, and Cliff really wants to get to the bottom of it. This matter has nothing to do with the entire Ransol family. If it weren't for such a big deal, why should I be manipulated by Cliff." Ender Duke Lie became more and more furious, clenched his hands into fists, and an astonishing momentum emerged, "And So Geoffrey..."
Andrei thought of his gifted son with a wave of grief and overwhelming rage.Such a heroic and outstanding child, who was supposed to lead the Lansol family back to the top, died humiliatingly in the conspiracy of a sinner and an illegitimate child.
"Sophia, don't mention this person again! There is no need to mention it again! I will handle it myself!" Duke Andrei's eyes spread murderous.
"I'll deal with it myself." Sophia murmured these words silently, which obviously meant to give up Xiao Lan, and even cleanly deal with it and kill that sinner together.Sofia's mind suddenly flashed the look of that person looking at her curiously when they first met, the scene of calling her in the city of ashes to pave a way for her with firelight, the scene of lazily laughing and talking to make her laugh in the carriage. With blue eyes, "But..."
"No but. You stay with Cliff and show me what his plans are!" Duke Andre said seriously, "Remember, everything I do is for Ranso The Er family, you too. Don’t think that I don’t know, you are still thinking of leaving Priest Cliff’s selfishness!”
Sophia had nothing to say at this time.
She closed her eyes tiredly and desolately, then nodded, "I see, father."
The moment she went out, Sophia felt that her legs were too heavy to move, and the late night air was sucked into her lungs, but a thorough coldness spread throughout her body.Then Sophia saw the familiar figure, standing in the dark silence.
Sophia walked over subconsciously, and even wanted to rush over, but when she approached quickly, her heart suddenly calmed down.When she walked up to him, she was dazed and ignorant, as if something blocked her.
She stared at the man's face for a long time, feeling complicated and ups and downs, as if something was about to surge out of her chest.Suppressing all the words she wanted to blurt out, she was silent for a long time before finally calming down and thinking of what she should ask.
"Arman is a sinner?"
"Yes."
So far, Sophia has nothing to say.
"He didn't kill brother Su Gefei." Sophia said with lowered eyes.
"I know." It was precisely because of knowing that Aoqi would help conceal Arman's identity.
Sophia smiled sadly, for Aesop and herself.
In such a situation where she violated Cliff's words in public, and even drew a knife to each other, I don't know how she will be treated after she returns.Of the first two wives, one died of illness and the other was murdered. I don't know how she will die when it is her turn.
"I'm leaving." Sophia said softly, then walked forward with her head buried.
"If I take you away now, will you go?"
Sophia's steps stopped suddenly, her eyes widened, and she turned her head slowly, almost in disbelief.
Her gaze instantly met the man's focused gaze, which was obviously cold and indifferent, but at this moment Sophia felt a hot attachment.She couldn't escape such a sight, and even longed to have it all the time.She slowly came to her senses, she thought she would never hear these words from this man in this life, suddenly a sharp pain came from her heart, and the pain spread instantly.
[If I say I want to leave, will you take me away? ]
On the eve of Priest Yucliff's wedding, she also asked this man.But she actually knew that she was the daughter of the Ransol family, and Aoqi was the entourage of the heir Su Gefei, neither of them could walk away, and neither could abandon the glory of the Ransol family, just like this moment so-so.
Sophia's hand subconsciously stroked the ring on her hand, and then slowly retracted it.
"Auqi, you know." Sophia said softly, we all know it.
Her eyes were red, as if she was about to lose control of her emotions, she turned around abruptly and walked out quickly.
"Sophia, I lost."
Sophia's footsteps slowed down again, and she heard Aoqi's words through the thin and cold air.
For the first time, all pride, all indifference, and self-restraint have faded away.
She remembered that when she was practicing swordsmanship when she was a child, her brother would let her, Locke would let her, and everyone would let him.Only this person, who has been serious and rigid since childhood, never let her win a move in his hands, but at this moment he said that he lost.
Sophia didn't dare to turn her head, she just walked slowly, afraid that she would not be able to turn her head back.
Tears couldn't stop overflowing from the red eye sockets, and slowly slid down the fair cheeks drop by drop.
It's obviously a match between two people, why did both of us lose?
