Reborn Ancient Western Europe

The Tislandi family, that is, the family where Gray's body is located, has a very high status in the imperial capital.At the same time, it also has quite complex evaluations.

The Tislandi family has a history of more than 300 years. During the long period of time, various members have been recorded in the family's thick genealogy through marriage or adoption.There were commoners, nobles, royalty, members of the temple, and even members from foreign nations.

The reason for this situation is that at the beginning of the establishment of the Tislandi family, there was a family rule that was unimaginable to other nobles: no matter what happened, the family must not abandon any member bearing its surname .

Gray once studied the detailed records of the Tislandi family.In the underground book collection room, half a shelf of parchment records the 300 years the family has experienced.Among them are heroes who have made outstanding military exploits, some notorious prodigals, some women who marry into the palace and become queens, and some who elope with their servants and then disappear without a word.

All of these people were carefully recorded on parchment, objective and calm, without any subjective praise or criticism.

This is a family that is difficult for outsiders to understand and is closely connected in a strange way.

The Tislandi family was once prominent, but also once defeated.But among the many nobles that appeared at the beginning of the establishment of this empire, only the line of the Tislandi family has been able to accompany the development of the empire and has always existed firmly.

But in Gray's generation, the family is in a semi-invisible state.At present, the patriarch of the family is played by Gray's grandfather.He was the chairman of the previous parliament, and even though he has resigned now, he still has an important influence in the parliament.

And Grey's father was the third of Grandpa Grey's three sons.Instead of going into politics, he chose to become a doctor. He opened a well-known clinic in the imperial capital, and often went to the palace to treat the royal family.Gray's mother was the daughter of an ordinary businessman in Deimos City.

Grey has been in poor health since the serious illness at the age of six, and rarely went out in the imperial capital when he was young.After that, they stayed in Dimos City for more than half a year every year, completely missing the important summer ballroom dance season in the imperial capital.So for a long time, very few people knew about the existence of Ge Rui in the Tislandi family.And Gray himself is happy to see this happen.

A letter stamped with the family crest, indicating that the letter is being sent in the name of the family and not personally.In more cases, the family crest has a certain political meaning.As for Gray himself, in fact, his political connection with the Tislandi family has always been very loose.

He took the letter to the study on the second floor, scraped off the sealing wax with a silver knife, and opened the envelope.From the envelope, he pulled out a piece of paper with the scent of gardenia ink.

The letter is very concise, only two short lines

Dear Gray:

Prince Grace and Princess Henna will arrive in Deimos City in a few days.Butler Jon will be there shortly and he will assist you with the reception.

Don't worry, have fun at Dimos.

No signature, no date.But Gray recognized it was his father's handwriting.He put the letter and envelope together and put them in the drawer.

He didn't think too much, and his father's meaning was already very clear.I just need to do what I should do, and the rest belongs to the Tislandi family.

He knew the boundary between Grey and Tislandi, and he never tried to cross it.

But before the guests from the imperial capital arrive, he has his own troubles to deal with.

He left the study and went downstairs to the living room. Molly turned her back to him and was changing the vase of flowers on the dining table.Lunch was ready, neatly set with gleaming silverware.

Gray coughed lightly and said, "Molly, bring the lunch to my bedroom, I want to eat in my room."

"Okay, master." Molly picked up the plate and walked over with her head slightly lowered.Gray didn't like her being so respectful, and he didn't like other people entering his bedroom.As he approached the bedroom door, he took the plate himself.

"I want to take a nap for a while, and I will deliver the tableware by myself later."

Molly understood that he meant that she didn't want to be disturbed, so she saluted and left.Gray watched her disappear on the stairs before walking into his bedroom and locking the door from the inside.

This room was the bedroom of Grey's mother before she got married. The furniture and everything were old and had not been replaced.There is a large floor-to-ceiling window on the east side of the room, and you can go directly to the small garden outside.Gray liked this room very much, so after asking his mother's permission, he directly used this room as his own bedroom.

He put the dinner plate on the dresser beside the bed, and drew the curtains of the room, and the already dark room immediately became pitch black.He turned on a small lamp that adorned the side of the dressing table, and the light yellow light only illuminated a small circle around the dressing table.A delicate mercury mirror is fixed on the dressing table, and a light green diamond-shaped gemstone is inlaid on the top, reflecting a cold luster under the light.

Gray squatted down, fumbled and rolled up a piece of carpet laid in the center of the room, and then knocked on the floor a few times without haste.He waited for a while, then heard the same regular knocking from under the floor.The sound was very small, in fact, Gray just felt the vibration coming from under the floor.

He straightened up, picked up the dinner plate with one hand, pressed the emerald with the other hand, and the whole mercury mirror, and broke it off forcefully.

There was no sound, but in the center of the room, the floor that Gray had struck slowly moved away, revealing an entrance that could allow one person to enter and exit smoothly, connected to the downward steps.Those steps are made of stone and carved with four-leaf clover.

Holding the dinner plate, Gray walked down the steps to the basement step by step.On the last level of the steps, a handsome young man with black hair was looking at him.Even though Gray was standing on a few steps above him, it still didn't quite make up for the difference in height.Gray needs to lift his head slightly to see his face.

The young man took the plate from Gray's hand, looked at Gray for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Here we go again, can this man read minds?

Regarding the fact that the other party can easily see through his own thoughts, Gray no longer intends to investigate further.He just said softly: "Let's eat first, I'm hungry."

The young man looked at him for a while, but said nothing.In the basement there was a bed, a table and two chairs, all made of stone.For a while, Gray always suspected that this basement might be used by his mother to meet with sympathizers before she got married.

He took a cup of hot milk and drank it in small sips.The young man was slowly cutting a piece of fried steak with a table knife, and looked at him.There were emotions in that gaze that Gray couldn't understand, and he didn't want to understand those, he hated trouble.

Very annoying.

The young man cut the steak and pushed half of it to Gray.There was only one fork, and he directly inserted the tip of the knife into the meat piece by piece.He ate quickly, but his movements were graceful, as if he was not in the dark basement, but in the brightly lit Imperial Dining Room.

This is a man full of mysteries.Gray, on the other hand, is not a person who likes to solve puzzles.

He put down his milk glass, took half a slice of bread with raspberry jam, took a few mouthfuls of green salad, and put down his fork.

"The cats I raise eat more than you." The young man looked at him, and suddenly took his hand, circling his wrist with his fingers and making a gesture, "The wrist is as thin as a girl's, are you really a boy?" ?”

Gray shook off his hand, picked up the folded white towel on the dinner plate, and wiped his lips.It's not that he doesn't want to eat, but this body is really fragile, and his stomach can't digest too much food at one time.However, these have nothing to do with the youth, he does not need to explain to him.

"Take off your clothes, I want to see your wound." Gray said, his eyes fell on the young man's left shoulder, and he frowned slightly unconsciously.

The young man glanced at him, didn't move, but asked abruptly: "You want to drive me away?"

Can he always guess what other people think so accurately?Gray couldn't help but glanced at him, but his nerves tensed because of the expression on the young man's face.He felt as if he saw a big cat preparing to prey, elegant but full of deadly attack power, extremely dangerous.

But the young man immediately relaxed in the next second, so fast that Gray thought it was just his own illusion.He began to unbutton his coat.He was wearing a black uniform similar to a military uniform. There were more than a dozen metal buttons from the collar to the hem. Even though it was in the basement, he still buttoned it tightly from the first button to the last button.Now unraveling one by one slowly, there is an indescribable erotic meaning.

Gray hesitated for a moment, but got up and approached him, helped him unbutton the shirt inside, and then opened his placket, revealing his left shoulder wrapped in a white bandage.He pressed lightly around the wound and asked at the same time, "Does it hurt?"

The young man shook his head, looking intently at Gray's profile.And Gray was carefully undoing those wrapped bandages, and didn't notice his gaze.The medical level in this world has not yet developed to the application of antibiotics, so Gray has been worried about wound inflammation or tetanus and other issues.

However, it now appears that the youth's wounds are healing well.The huge bloody wound half a month ago now only leaves a pale pink scar, and his recovery speed has completely exceeded Gray's expectations.

Another scar was on the side of the waist.Gray followed the unbuttoned clothes and pulled all the skirts open, revealing the young man's strong chest.He lowered his head and stretched out his hand to untie the bandage around the young man's waist.The young man took a breath and grabbed his wrist, stopping his further movements.

He looked at him with a strange expression, and after a while, he gave a wry smile, shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it, the wound is fine, and your medicine is very effective."

Gray didn't insist either, he sat back in his seat and waited for the young man to arrange his clothes.He just said lightly: "You can't stay here anymore, there are guests coming to visit, I can't hide you."

The young man paused and asked, "Who wants to come?"

Gray glanced at him, but said nothing.It was the young man who chuckled lightly and didn't ask any more questions.He tapped his finger on the stone table and asked, "How do you want me to go?"

Gray took out a small bag from his sleeve and put it on the table. After a pause, he said, "Take the sea route. At noon tomorrow, when the people in the house are taking a nap, you leave the garden and walk along Qingshi Street in front of the garden. Go to the end, turn left and walk less than 10 minutes to the pier.”

"At [-]:[-], there is a fishing boat in Dimos that will go out to sea. You use the money to hire them to go fishing for coral fish in the coral waters. Now is the peak fishing season for coral fish, and there are people from all directions in the coral sea They will never refuse outsiders to take a boat, you can go anywhere you want."

The young man looked at him with great interest, and suddenly asked, "Are you really only 13 years old?"

Gray packed the dinner plate and got up to leave.When he reached the steps, he turned around and looked at the young man carefully, and finally his eyes rested on the young man's black hair.

After all, it's still different.

He sighed silently in his heart, then lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "I buried your sword under the pink rose bushes in the garden, don't forget to take it with you when you leave."

The young man looked at Gray's leaving back with a gloomy expression, but there was a dangerous smile on his lips.

"Troublesome, only 13 years old..."

Gray returned to the bedroom with the dinner tray, snapped the mercury mirror back into place, closed the floor, and re-laid the carpet.Looking at the time, he planned to go back to bed and take a nap, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Master Gray, are you awake?" Molly's voice came through the door, and she said cautiously, "Butler Jon is here, and he is waiting for you in the study."

Gray opened the curtains, turned off the light on the side of the dresser, and looked around the bedroom.After confirming that everything was fine, he slightly raised his voice and said, "Understood, I'll go over right away."
