In his ear, his mother was still clamoring unrelentingly, and Herbert suddenly remembered the scene when Rhines just came to Sauk's house.
The father announced this at the dinner table the day before, and the mother was so angry that she overturned the entire dinner table on the spot. On that day, the always elegant Countess blushed like a shrew.
So Herbert's initial impression of Rhines was limited to three words - evil spirit.
It was raining lightly that day, and Rhines, who was pulled off the carriage, almost fell on the grass.When he stood up and looked up at him, Herbert felt as if he was about to stop breathing.
The blond-haired, blue-eyed boy was more like an elf picked out of a fairy tale, and when he looked over, he looked timidly with a little expectation.
This scene was repeated countless times in his mind, and Herbert didn't know what it meant for a long time. When he realized it, Rhines no longer looked at him with that look.
The pimp who specialized in helping Herbert find someone in the red-light district knew best what the young master liked, and he only picked high-quality products.
A handsome boy with blond hair and blue eyes, it would be even better if he could smile innocently when looking at people.
Herbert would pull the men by the hair to hear them call brother.
But everyone's time around him will not be long, because no one can replicate the temperament of Rhines.
He was like a dewy Ambridge, pretty and delicate, and charming in the sun.It seems that whoever stretches out his hand, he can use the soft petals to rub against it.
But Herbert knew that Rhines had an indelible tenacity in his bones.The library of Sauk's house is the place he has visited the most besides his own room.
With Rhines' current knowledge reserve, it must be enough to be a tutor in elementary or middle school, and he can even do accounting and French translation.
For noble children, these professions are definitely insulting.
But for Rhines, this is the way of survival that he has accumulated for himself in the face of adversity.
Herbert knew that as long as it passed, and legally his father and mother could no longer imprison him as a guardian, Rhines would leave here without looking back.
……
Rhines lowered his eyes, and took a step back slightly.
He didn't know exactly what happened, but Rhines didn't want to get involved in this family's affairs at all. He just wanted to know what happened and whether it was related to him.After all, if the oolong fight between him and Herbert last night left any traces, he would definitely be unlucky.
Thinking of this, he wanted to turn around and go upstairs.
The countess noticed Herbert's distraction, and suddenly raised her voice, "I ask you whose these belong to?! Who did you meet last night?!"
?
Rhines paused, what do you mean, where did Herbert go last night?
Wasn't Herbert in the room last night?
The countess' sharp voice tore away all the cover, "Are any of those prostitutes pregnant? Does anyone else know about this?"
"Alan, his name is Alan." Herbert suddenly felt an impulse, and looked at the countess provocatively and said.
Rhines looked back into the room almost in shock.
"What do you mean? Him?" The Countess' eyes widened in disbelief, her fingers were trembling, "You're looking for a male|prostitute?!"
Her lips trembled and she couldn't speak for a while, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped her son.
In fact, this is not a rare thing among the nobles. In this circle, people like Herbert who haven't had sex will even be laughed at.
Probably because he had been suppressed for too long, after uttering the words just now, Herbert actually felt a pleasure like revenge.
"Yes, how did I go?" Herbert waved his hand, "Isn't this normal? What's the fuss about?"
"Madam! Madam!"
The old housekeeper supported her in panic, "Annie! Lawrence! Come here!"
Herbert's pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly squatted down to check the condition of the countess.
The maids below went upstairs one after another, and the entire Earl's Mansion was in chaos.By the time Herbert staggered and was helped to look at his legs, Rhines had no idea where he was going.
Herbert leaned back angrily, hitting the back of his head on the back of the chair, making a "boom".
"Master," the housekeeper called him cautiously, "You also know that Madam has always repulsed you to play because of Rhines, why didn't you wait until after school..."
The butler, like all the attendants who were accustomed to the unrestrained behavior of nobles, thought that Herbert should temporarily obey the Countess.At any rate, I've been living peacefully for the past few days. After going to study in the imperial capital, I don't want to play how I want to play.
Why bother to make a mess at home at this time.
The old butler wanted to say something more when he met Herbert's sinister green eyes.
"..."
He hastily shut up.
"...Where's father?" Herbert asked in a cold voice, restraining his irritability, "Why isn't he here?"
In the empire, the emperor has long since neglected his affairs. People like the Sauk family have their own fiefdoms and even have so few official duties.With the quarrel just now, if the Earl was still at home, he would have come here to start a fight.
Butler: "Last night, the imperial capital sent a letter saying that His Excellency Ou Poen from the research institute will come to our place. This morning, the master has brought people to meet us."
"Opern? Who is that?" Herbert asked after moving his bandaged right leg.
Butler: "Yes, Your Excellency the Director of the Institute. It is the one who created the 'Liquid Gold' two years ago. He is very popular with His Majesty and General Kenley."
Herbert repeated the word "favorite" in disgust, obviously he didn't like Oppen's arrival.
On the second floor, August conveniently placed the book in his hand on the corner of the table. He heard Rhines' approaching footsteps and was about to open the door when he sensed something was wrong.
The footsteps outside started slowly, as if they were afraid of being discovered, they were deliberately light.Then getting faster and faster, Rhines ran to the door, opened the door and got in.
……
That's great, it looks like Rhines has discovered it.
August thought happily.
He slowly approached Rhines and called him with concern, "Brother?"
Rhines shook his head reluctantly, and a cold creep began to creep up from his tailbone.
"What happened?" August asked, but no matter how innocent and worried he was, he couldn't hide the smile deep in his dark blue eyes.
Rhines certainly didn't notice this.
The pure prey was deeply caught in the net, but he didn't know that it was the demon spinning the net who comforted him with soft tentacles in front of him.
Rhines was just thinking - if Herbert hadn't returned to his room last night.Who was it that held him and whispered in his ear in Herbert's voice?
He was leaning against the door. Last night, he was held in this posture.
The instinctive fear that had not been noticed by the master was long overdue, and Rhines felt that his fingers were trembling.
If that person was Herbert, Rhines would not be so afraid to this extent.After all, no matter what happened to Herbert, the earl and countess were suppressing him, so what he did to Rhines could only be "excessive".
But if not Herbert, who would it be?
Thief?fugitive?
When Rhines kissed the man blankly and fearfully, there might be a sharp knife pointing at him behind him.As long as there was anything wrong with Rhines at that time, he would have died in the room last night.
—This is the idea that normal people should be terrified of.
But these thoughts only existed as a rough prototype in Rhines' mind, and they were suppressed by another even greater fear.
It wasn't until this time that Rhines suddenly remembered what he felt was inconsistent last night——
The person who hugged him, smiled and asked for a kiss on the side of his neck, breathed coldly.
Rhines shuddered instinctively.
Could human breath be cold?
Of course not, only when the prey is taken into his arms with great difficulty, will the ecstatic alien forget to cover it up.
Rhines closed his eyes hard, am I thinking too much?
If there is no so-called maid who came to tryst at all, why did the man want to play with him?Is it a whim or...
August looked up at his little silver tail, Rhines' face was white with fright, and his lower lip was bitten into a pitiful pale color by his teeth.
If he told the whole truth now, what would Rhines do?
Would he immediately open the door and run away in vain, or would he be so frightened that he needed His assistance to stand up after a moment of stupefaction?
August diverted his thoughts in a good mood, he could feel the darkness in his heart was about to move, but no, now is the time of "August".
What's more, didn't He leave Herbert and the butler in the corridor last night to avenge Brother Rhines?It wasn't to scare little Silvertail.
I'm not that exaggerated.
August helplessly wiped Rhines' tears with his sleeve, "Brother, can you tell me what happened?"
Rhines pursed her lips and pressed on his shoulder, turning her head to prevent August from seeing his expression.
August patted him on the back lightly, "Is it related to last night?"
!
Rhines quickly shook his head in denial, "No, it doesn't matter."
August laughed silently. He leaned his head on Rhines' body, sniffing the soft fragrance of Rhines's body wantonly.
But at the same time, what Rhines heard was his concerned words, "But when Rhines came back wearing a skirt last night, he was like this now.
Did someone bully my brother? "
The tips of Rhines' ears turned red all of a sudden, and he could only deny the request mutteringly, "No, nothing, August, don't think too much, okay?"
Be good.
August squinted his eyes in enjoyment, and suppressed a smile, "Does that brother naturally like to wear girls' skirts?"
He stared at Rhines like the simplest and most sensible child, "If my brother likes it, can I buy it for you when August grows up? My brother looks good in a skirt."
Rhines was so ashamed that he couldn't say a word, and could only cover his eyes helplessly so as not to look into August's eyes.
"No, stop it...August..."
August sighed kindly and ended the topic, "Lines, you can't take everything in your heart."
The child with half of his face covered in gauze stood on tiptoe and held Rhines' wrist with a little strength.
A moment later, Rhines' water-blue eyes were wet and exposed to the air.
August tilted his head, "You can tell me, brother."
-------------------------------------
Earl Sauk raised his hand, motioning for Opern to look at him.
There were people coming and going on the pier. Of course, it was not as lively as that of Huangdu, but it was not much different.
On the side of Opern's face, the golden eye chain inlaid with emeralds swayed in the sea breeze, bringing a little dark green to the amber eyes of the expressionless director of the research institute.
"Your Excellency, long time no see." Earl Sauk opened his hands, pretending to warmly want to give Opern a hug, which is the default etiquette in the upper class.
But Opern didn't give him any face. The man gave Earl Sauk a cold look, turned around and asked the attendant, "Scatter the people and search along the coast."
? !
Earl Sauk turned cold on the spot, "What do you mean, Your Excellency?"
Arbitrarily leading the army to invade the fiefdoms of other nobles, where would Opern put their Sauk family?
Opern's eyes followed the troops who got off the boat, and after a while, they slowly moved to Earl Sauk.
If there are people who are familiar with Ou Poen from the imperial capital, they will find that the researcher has lost a lot of weight in just two days.The sides of the face and the eye sockets have a tendency to sink.
If someone looked closely, they could find spider veins spreading from the side of Opern's face to his neck.
This means that he has used astrology in recent days.
The father announced this at the dinner table the day before, and the mother was so angry that she overturned the entire dinner table on the spot. On that day, the always elegant Countess blushed like a shrew.
So Herbert's initial impression of Rhines was limited to three words - evil spirit.
