feather [orc]

Rex has been wandering in his own world, until Nick's crying brought him back to his sanity little by little.

The little guy also went and sensed his father's departure. He has been crying so much these days that no one can coax him. In desperation, the servants can only go to find Rex as his father, but Rex has not been there status.

Until now, he was finally awakened by the continuous crying. He stared blankly at Nick who was being held by the servant, and carefully stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms.

Nick was already over a year old, and he was able to speak simple words, and he could even stand up and walk when he stumbled. His facial contours looked more and more like Ronald, which made Rex feel sad for a while.

I will take good care of you.

Thinking so, Rex hugged Nick tightly.

That's right, he still has a little guy to take care of, so he can't stay in a daze forever.

He gradually cheered up, but he still didn't dare to look at Ronald in the family cemetery.

He began to wonder, how could Ronald just die like this?

At first glance, it seemed like a sudden illness that took away a life, but when you think about it carefully, it's not normal at all.

Ronald's illness was too sudden, the process was unimaginable, and his critical illness was even more inexplicable... It was like a scene that had been arranged.

...Could it be artificial?Someone is trying to harm him?

Almost subconsciously, Rex's first thought was Cole. After all, in the Xavier family, as the eldest son's partner, few people have the courage and skills to harm Ronald.

But... Thinking of his younger brother smiling all day long, his reason told Rex that it shouldn't be him.

Rex still remembers that when he came out of Ronald's ward, he ran into Cole who was rushing over behind the Marquis of Xavier. However, it is not the specious look of the past, but full of pity.

It doesn't look like he's done it.

So who else?Who else can cover the sky with one hand in the Seville family?Or, is Rex thinking too much?Was Ronald's death really a misfortune?

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in Rex's mind.

"In this place, too strong personal feelings are unacceptable."

"If you're sick, you have to quarantine, Rex, that's the rule."

"I originally thought that my father might not like me very much."

……

Those words and phrases, as well as those clips, were replayed scene by scene, and then faster and faster, and finally connected to everything.

Rex's mind was blank, only those pictures were repeated constantly, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing at the door of his father's study, and then calmly pushed open the cold door.

"Why?" he asked directly.

"Why?" Marquis Xavier frowned and looked at the eldest son who barged in. "Rex, where have you learned etiquette?"

"Didn't you force Ronald to me back then? Can you tell me where he offended you? Father."

Rex originally thought that the Marquis of Xavier would deny it, but unexpectedly, the other party just glanced at him, then signaled the guard at the door to close the door, put down the things in his hand, and looked at Rex standing there. Si, he said: "Look at you, what you have become."

"What's it like?" Rex asked self-deprecatingly.

"Being overwhelmed by a non-orc, how can you be qualified to be the next Patriarch?"

Patriarch?He never thought about being the head of the family at all, he just thought about how to take Ronald and Nick out of here in a legitimate way, without being hunted all the way, and it was for this reason that he tried his best to understand the affairs of the Xavier family. To imitate Hall's method of escaping from the Thored family.

What's more... Hasn't the next Patriarch trained by the Marquis of Xavier always belonged to Cole?

"Just for this?" Rex felt absurd, just because Ronald was around, he couldn't become a qualified Patriarch, so he had to get rid of him?

"Isn't it outrageous for a non-orc to meddle in the affairs of his partner's family? Do you really think I don't know?"

... meddling in family affairs?Could it be that Ronald directed him every night at the beginning?

"That's because I don't understand anything!" Rex said incredulously, "I asked him to help me!"

The Marquis of Xavier glanced at him lightly, noncommittal: "Anyway, this kind of unscrupulous non-orc is not good enough for you. It really came from a small family. It's so nonsense that you have lost your soul. Get rid of it, and you will be able to wake up a little bit."

Rex looked at his father blankly, maybe his expression was too plain, or maybe it was because of his silence these days that people couldn't see the grief in it, the Marquis of Xavier frowned. Frowning, thinking that he was listening obediently, he softened his tone a little and said: "Cole's power has spread too much, and I can't get back a lot of it. If you press it all of a sudden, it will cause him to rebound. You need a A decent, background, non-orc from a big family can be his partner, and only then can he compete with him."

"The one I burned to death before? You did it too?" Rex asked coldly, "I can't see that this is a decent, non-orc from a big family."

"It's just a test." The Marquis of Xavier didn't hide his thoughts, as if he thought that Rex would understand and finally agree with him, "What's more, your partner only gave birth to you a non-orc. There will be no heir, but non-orcs will hardly get pregnant again within three years after giving birth, you can't wait so long, you must change another one, and give birth to an orc for you!"

"...There is another reason, let's talk about it together." Rex moved the corner of his mouth strangely, with an indescribably mocking expression.

"What's your attitude?" The Marquis of Xavier felt that Rex didn't understand as he imagined, knocked on the table and reprimanded, "Do you know your current situation? You are not without talent, But starting so much later than your brother, you have to fight in other aspects! Do whatever it takes!"

Rex lowered his head, smiled, and said word by word: "I finally understand."

Then, without waiting for the Marquis of Xavier to answer, he said to himself: "I finally know why I have not discovered your malice, why I am willing to come back, why I am busy with this and that all day long, and then I have never guarded against you. Thinking about guarding Cole."

He touched his chest and said in that regretful tone, "Because Rex believed in you."

The Marquis of Xavier obviously couldn't understand what he said, but he still said to himself: "He always thinks it's his fault. If it wasn't for his uselessness, you wouldn't give up on him under pressure, and you wouldn't give up on him. He will welcome lovers and illegitimate children, and he will not anger his father to death, so since his father died, he has been giving up on himself, and finally became like that because he is full of guilt."

"Even if you are indifferent to him, he still feels that it is his fault. Even if you expel him in the end, he still feels that you are protecting him so that he will not be eliminated in the power struggle. He believes in his father like this Yes." Rex clutched his chest tightly, "And I, unexpectedly, was affected by those damned memories and remaining emotions to my judgment!"

As he spoke, regardless of the inexplicable expression of the Marquis of Xavier, with such a grim face, the beast turned into a huge firebird, broke through the roof, and screamed.

The flame swept across the entire room, and the scene was in chaos. Countless guards rushed in, trying to stop Rex, but in fact, Rex's flame hadn't touched the Marquis of Xavier at all.

He knew his own situation, he didn't lose control, and he hadn't made a move yet, but before the Marquis of Xavier had time to turn into a beast and escape, he suddenly ignited spontaneously.

As the head of the family, the Marquis of Xavier is not weak, but at this moment, he seemed to be unable to resist at all. After a few seconds, he stopped struggling and fell to the ground, just like the non-orc at the beginning, who was gradually being defeated Burn to ashes.

But this time, Rex was sure it wasn't his doing.

But obviously, all the people below who witnessed all this would not believe it.

The author has something to say: In order to appease public outrage, I announce that...the next chapter will have Nana's shadow!
