The Servant of the Magic Marks of Transmigration

When Pang De heard this, he was really surprised. "Prince?"

In the scroll that Gonza gave him, it only hinted that when they came, Gonza would provide the answers behind the previous attacks, but he didn't expect that Gonza would lead them to the second prince.And with the battle in front of us, could it be that there is such a thing as "recognition of relatives"?

The old steward bowed again, "Yes. If Your Excellency is willing."

Pound couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "What if I don't have the will?"

In the meaning of the old steward's words, it seems that he has the right to decide whether to see or not?

The old steward showed his head to Pound again, "The prince understands, some matters will be conveyed to His Highness later."

This kind of low profile is quite correct for a "father" who has left his son outside for many years.If the second prince showed any attitude of "this king should laugh if he wants to recognize you" at this time, Pang De should just smile and walk away.

But even if he is not very interested in the matter of recognizing relatives, this is finally Lord's wish during his lifetime.Pound could still meet the prince for him, so after thinking about it, he still stuffed the hair ball in his hand to Funk.

Mao Tuan let out a little howl because of this, since he was thrown in Fender West, he had to be hugged by Pound for the past few days.

Seeing Pound's movement, Funk frowned, "I'll go with you."

He knew that Pang De gave him the hair ball, which meant that he had to go alone.

"There will be no danger. Letting assassins in, the sheriff Gonzale is a big joke." Pound pressed the hairball head in Funk's arm, telling him to obey.

Funk stared, "If you want to see your father, I should too!"

Pound shrugged, "I haven't decided whether he is, don't worry."

These words made the old steward who was waiting by the side seem hesitant to speak, but in the end he remained silent.

***

A few minutes later, Pound was led by the old steward through the main hall and the promenade beside the garden, and after a detour, he came to the area at the back of the annex, which should belong to the owner's private use.Because after entering this area, except for a few servants who maintain the environment, there are no armed guards standing guard or patrolling like outside.

The old steward walked and stopped in front of a room, knocked on the ornately carved wooden door cautiously, and said, "Sir, Your Excellency Pound has arrived."

Pound took this opportunity to look around, and found that the door was strangely large, but it was different from what they had seen along the way.

A vague answer came from inside, "Please come in."

After hearing the words, the old steward bowed to the door and opened the wooden door for Pound. "Your Excellency, please."

After Pound nodded to the old steward, he stepped into the door.

As soon as he entered the room, a special smell of painting paint came to his nostrils.

Pound would recognize this smell because when Goldo was practicing magic pattern drawing before, because of the limited amount of ink, Goldo, who dislikes waste by nature, did not dare to let go of his hands and feet to practice. So I helped him find paints with similar properties.For a while Goldo smelled like that, and of course the hairball next to him; somehow he managed to turn himself into a tabby cat.

Sure enough, the smell of paint followed by a room full of paintings.In this huge room, the walls are covered with large and small paintings.Some of them are as tall as two people, and the width is about half of the room. It is no wonder that the wooden door of this room needs a special size.

The level of painting is quite realistic, just like the Western oil paintings that Pound had seen on some advertisements in his previous life.

After a few seconds of pause, Pound's concentration was interrupted by a voice from the left side of the room.

The man was holding a palette in his hand, and behind him was an easel half a person's height, on which were half-finished paintings.

The theme of that half-finished painting is the same as all the paintings in this room.

All were a young woman.

A woman who was [-]% similar to Pound's face.

The man looked at the focus of Pound's gaze and spoke slowly.

"This is my late wife, Catherine."

"It should also be your aunt, your mother's twin sister."

"I think this is the right place to come and hear me tell a story."

***

Seeing the surprise in Pound's eyes, the Second Prince Joseph Hess smiled and went straight into his story without any nonsense.

"Tina... Your mother is Catherine's younger sister. When I met her more than ten years ago, I never thought about it. Catherine told me that she had a twin who died young. Sister, I didn’t have time to grow up because of a serious illness, I believe it. Because of the twins, Catherine’s health is also quite bad, and she can’t run and jump like ordinary people. It was God’s blessing to give birth to Gonzal safely..."

But in fact, after Tina disappeared because of a kidnapping by ghosts inside and outside, she became a wound that even the Wade family couldn't mention.

At that time, Yuemo was the time when the new Hess Emperor was sweeping the power of the church. As mentioned earlier, the Hess Empire had a dark history of being dominated by the church five to 60 years ago.The emperor was suffering from a strange disease and needed the church priest to use light magic to continue his life, which caused the church's power to expand excessively. This prosperity lasted for more than ten years, and was broken by the emperor who succeeded him.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he first beheaded the priest in holy robes at that time, and then began to clean up the power of the church.Seeing that the situation was not right, some pro-church factions wanted to take advantage of the fact that the new emperor had just succeeded to the throne and force the Ward family, who held military power at that time, to assist him in the rebellion. daughter.

At that time, Fusen tried his best to rescue, but only one of them was rescued; that is, Catherine.Tiya, who failed to be rescued, became the most innocent victim under the circumstances that Fusen could not agree to the mutiny.For these reasons, after Catherine grew up, the Wade family never mentioned anything about Tina.

Until more than ten years ago; at that time, Catherine had passed away for seven years, and the second prince Joseph Gonzal had to remarry the current second princess Ava Johnson under the design of the Johnson family.Furious at Ava and the Johnsons, Joseph began flirting with any woman who would, before and after his marriage.As long as he knows who his loyalty belongs to, he wants to let everyone in the empire know that he has no loyalty or love for his second wife.

And after a long period of absurdity, he met Tina.

A woman who lives at the bottom of the common people, but has [-]% similar appearance to Catherine, but has a completely different temperament.

When Joseph saw her, his eyes were full of nostalgia and sadness that no one could mistake, and it was impossible for him not to go and talk to her.

At that time, Tina was planning to marry herself to a wealthy businessman in his seventies in a few days, seeking a better life.After hearing Joseph's story, she decided to give them a night of mutual comfort, and after dawn, she still fulfilled the original marriage contract.Because she knew that if she followed Joseph, she would always be someone else's shadow.

Pound; or rather Lord, was the coincidence of that night.

After Tina gave birth to Lord, she notified Joseph, but rejected Joseph's suggestion to take Lord away.Tina is a woman with a shaved mind and a deep understanding of reality.She knew that if her child was far away from her side, Lord, as an illegitimate child, would not necessarily be happy even if his life was not in need.And by her side; as a legitimate child born in the marriage relationship of an old rich businessman, even if others may doubt it, as long as the old rich businessman himself does not deny it, Lord will live more comfortably.

Joseph then agreed with Tina's decision.So he gave Tina a piece of crystal as a token of acknowledgment, and provided help for Lord's upbringing by entrusting someone to deliver gold coins every year.

It's just that the age of the old rich businessman was shorter than Tina imagined. A few years later, the old rich businessman passed away, and the rich businessman's family drove their mother and son out of the house.At this time, Tina also considered the option of letting Lord recognize her father.So she asked Lord to choose, choose with her, or go to Joseph.

Lord chose his father's side without hesitation, so Tina pooled up the money she had saved and handed it to Lord as a bargain.At the same time, she thought that when Joseph's courier delivered gold coins, she would have someone send them directly to Laudna.Or maybe Lord had already found Joseph before the annual gold coins were delivered, so Tina didn't tell Lord.

But it was also in this year that the courier who sent the money received Tina's instruction to stay where she was, and took advantage of this opportunity to embezzle the supposedly lucrative sum of money, which is paid once a year, as his own. , so that in the next few years, Tina thought that Lord had found Joseph, and Joseph thought that the money delivered by the trustee had indeed been sent to Tina and her son, but in fact Lord lived alone in Quinn City. Looking forward to the miserable days, thinking of making a big splash when he recognizes his relatives.

The cronies who embezzled public funds were later discovered by Berlin because of other financial problems. After this investigation, Berlin first knew that his father Joseph had an illegitimate child outside, and he had been raised in this way for many years.

If Joseph had treated Lord with the attitude at that time; he would have kept him outside and not heard about, Berlin would not have had any defensive heart against Lord, and took a lot of trouble to frame him.But the bad thing is that the cronies who were caught and had to join the Berlin faction revealed that the illegitimate son of Lord, the bigger he was, the more he resembled Joseph's dead wife Catherine.

And as long as anything involved with Catherine is a thorn in the heart of Berlin and his mother Ava.

Berlin hates that Joseph's attention has always been on Gonza, not on himself, because he was not born to Catherine.

Ava hated Joseph for never forgetting Catherine, who had passed away for many years, and started painting portraits of Catherine one after another after marriage.

If an illegitimate child similar to Catherine is born at this time, Berlin can't help but suspect that Joseph, who is extremely protective of Catherine, may allocate a large part of what should be his own to Lord; Ignored Lord for many years, so Berlin told his mother about it, and the mother and son decided to act first, frame Lord, and keep him far away, so that Joseph would not see Lord any possibility.

"And I know this because Gonza doesn't believe in so-called 'coincidences'." After a pause, Joseph smiled wryly, "After he learned of your existence from Barlow, he slowly explained the reasons behind these coincidences. He went to ask his grandpa, even found your mother, and confirmed that his father was such a selfish bastard to throw the truth in my face."

"He said he would recognize his brother, who was also his cousin. He was innocent. It was only me who was at fault."

Although Joseph's upright face has some signs of age, but with an open-minded and innocent smile, he is still handsome.

"how do you say?"
