Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

As Villa estimated, the earthquake was not a particularly strong earthquake. Fortunately, the evacuation work was carried out in a timely manner and the casualties were limited.After the danger passed, Miria kept questioning Vera's "partner". Vera had a headache and took Tails to follow Ted to escape quietly.

Vera and Tails returned to the duke's mansion the next afternoon.When the duke returned home, night had fallen.He didn't rest and planned to have a talk with Vera.

Soon, Vera stepped into the Duke's study.

Seeing Vera come in, the Duke stopped writing.Vera bowed to him and saluted, "Your Excellency, what do you want from me?"

Born signaled Vera to sit down, and formally informed: "Mr. Villa Semorell, your judgment is very accurate. The deportation order against you has been revoked this afternoon. This is the end of your trespassing on my mansion and hurting my guards." Forget it. In addition, I will formally submit a report to the Senate, hoping that they will consider rewarding you."

Vera nodded, "Thank you, Your Excellency Duke, for your kind words."

"Meet your mother and Claire?"

"Claire is very cute, my lord...it seems that she is not in good health. I gave her some medicine, I hope it can help."

Born's sharp brown eyes stared at him, and asked: "Boy, tell me the truth, what trouble have you caused? Don't fool me with your tricks, I know you too well, didn't you cause big trouble? There is absolutely no possibility of violating the deportation order."

"A little trouble," Vera replied.

The Duke let out a sneer, "It's not a trivial matter that can make you go back to Black Front City. Since you still have a conscience and dare to break in to report the letter, let me tell you about your troubles, and I can give you some help as appropriate." .”

"Your Excellency, I have nothing to ask of you."

"Oh? Very good, it seems that I have saved myself a lot of trouble. Boy, this is your own chance to give up."

"of course."

The room fell silent again, save for the crackling of candles and the Duke's occasional cough.

The Duke didn't give orders for a long time, and Vera planned to leave quietly.The moment his hand touched the doorknob, the Duke's voice suddenly came from behind: "Boy, do I allow you to leave?"

"My lord, I'm not called a kid."

"Boy, I'm not called a Duke either."

"I'm sorry, Lord Mandin. I thought you acquiesced in my leaving."

"Hmph! You are more annoying than when you were a child."

"Really? I thought you used to love me very much." Vera sat back on the sofa, "Dear Duke Mandin, what other orders do you have?"

The Duke leaned back in his chair and seemed to be thinking.The candlelight cast erratic shadows on his face, making the dark circles under his eyes even deeper.He said helplessly: "Milia often said that your personality is exactly like mine, but I never agreed with it. Now it seems that I am right. Vera... Vera, is it so difficult to speak well?"

"I..." Vera's eyes fell on the notch on the edge of the rosewood desk, he hesitated for a while, adjusted his breathing, and said seriously, "I'm sorry, my lord father."

"You still know that I am your father, I thought you had forgotten all about it."

"Even if you cast me out of the family, my name will still be Semerel."

"Are you accusing me?"

"No, my lord father. Your actions are beyond reproach." Vera smiled, "It's just that the deportation order is indeed a bit unexpected."

"You...Talan told me that you have achieved your wish, and I have witnessed your achievement as well." Boen rarely showed a little approval, "If you have any advantages, it is not tireless to work hard on your goals. It counts as one."

"Thank you for your compliment."

"Boy, don't be glib with me." The Duke paused and added, "From a father's standpoint, I want to know what trouble you got into."

"Me? My lord father, I have never caused trouble, but trouble found me." Vera replied, "Neru's army occupied my mage tower and the town that paid me the harvest, and forced the residents who respected me Believe in their 'true god'. I must take back what I have lost."

Born slightly frowned, "Do you live on the border of Sharan?"

"That's right, just the southeast side of the forest."

"It was ceded to Neru. So you're in trouble. Those priests don't like spellcasters, and you don't like anyone at all. The results are obvious."

Vera raised her slender black eyebrows, "You don't have to be so direct, I'm not that unpopular."

"That's it." The Duke thought for a while, "It is currently under the jurisdiction of Libias, and the bishop of the diocese is Seren. Sharan has just been defeated, and Tutan and Neru have not interfered with each other for ten years. You want to persuade Daisy Send troops to help you?"

"Yes."

"Yet you failed."

"Yes." Vera replied easily, with no hint of frustration in her tone.

"So? What are you going to do now?"

Vera said of course: "I don't know."

"It's almost barren there. You can abandon that tower and build a new one in another place."

"It's my home, not only that, there are hundreds of residents who have paid offerings to me."

"King Sharan admits that it is your territory?"

"Of course not. I suspect Shallan doesn't even remember there's a town there, but I have an obligation to them."

The Duke pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind and said, "Vera, are you planning to return to the Semmeril family?"

"what do you mean?"

"It's what you thought of. You have achieved your wish. Now that you finally know how to take responsibility for the people and your territory, I think I can give you a chance to make a new choice." Bo En stared at Vera with burning eyes, "My son, I will give you a chance to return to the Semmeril family and become the heir of the family again."
