The Servant of the Magic Marks of Transmigration

Pound was noncommittal, and asked, "Tell me this, is it because of the recent assassination, and it was also done by Berlin and the second princess?"

After a pause, Joseph sighed, "You are very smart. You can guess the context without me mentioning it."

Pound continued to ask, "Then I would like to ask you, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

This means that the answer to the question involves Pound's judgment on whether to accept Joseph's "apology".

When Joseph heard this, a slight smile flashed in his eyes.After asking a few words, the young man in front of him wanted to take over the leadership of the conversation.

But Joseph still cooperated, and said word by word, "Whatever they want to move you, let them 'get what they want'. If they are afraid that you will get something, give you everything that is due to them."

This simple sentence is tantamount to a promise that Pound, the illegitimate son, will inherit the rights of a true son that Berlin should have enjoyed.

But Pang De was not surprised when he heard the words, he just quickly reasoned things out in his heart.

After all, the story in Joseph's mouth was completely different from what Lord had previously known.

Even Tina, who Pound thought was responsible for Lord's death, can't be said to have made a big mistake now.

Many of these plots are indeed consistent with Lord's memory; only the purpose behind the behavior is different, but it does not rule out that the version in Joseph's mouth has been "modified" with a biased position.It's just that if Pound really doesn't believe it, he can go to Tina who is still alive to confirm (even if Pound won't consider it), and as the second prince, he shouldn't be so stupid as to weave an easily punctured case to Pound. false story.

Therefore, when Pound heard the present, he believed [-]% with his intuition.

The remaining [-]% is because Pound thinks that Joseph treats him differently, and this kind of differential treatment is still a bit weird.

Pound couldn't help thinking about the possible motives of Joseph or Gonza.

And with the status of these two people in the empire, plus the Walder family behind Gonzale, Pound didn't think that even if his elemental ability was a great healer, the two families would still lack such resources and wanted to actively win him over. ; not to mention that my own small coffers might not be able to buy all of this annex.

So there is a possibility that Joseph has been dissatisfied with the second princess Ava and the Jansen family behind him for a long time, and Berlin just gave Joseph the best excuse to clean the backyard by doing it himself.It's just cleaning up. Joseph can leave what should be given to Berlin to Gonza, and he doesn't need to give himself a cent. Now he is so generous, another possibility is...Look at the portraits in this room, I think this body still has The blood relationship of the Walder family had a different meaning to Joseph.

From this point of view, Joseph’s attitude actually conformed to the man’s previous principles of dealing with affairs.

If it has something to do with Catherine, it will be eye-catching; if it has nothing to do, it would be stingy to devote more effort.

After thinking about this clearly, Pound looked up at the paintings around him, and asked, "If my mother had nothing to do with Catherine, would you have made the same decision today?"

Joseph was taken aback by Pound's sharp question, and after pondering for a while, he gave a more obvious wry smile, "To be honest, no."

But Pound was satisfied.He just wanted Joseph to admit this, to admit that between them, Joseph actually considered Catherine more than he considered a son.

Pound then nodded, "To each other. If it weren't for your identity today, I wouldn't stay in this room for one more second."

What these words imply is that Joseph should not expect too much father-son affection from Pound.

Joseph laughed when he heard this, "Sounds fair, so we're off to a good start?"

Pound shook his head, "No, I have other conditions."

"Oh? Tell me?" Joseph asked with more interest.He wondered if Pound could surprise him even more.

"I have no intention of clinging to the past, but I also don't want to lose what I have gained so far," Pound said abstractly at first.

"Of course?" Joseph waited for Pound to finish his sentence.

Pound continued, "I also have my family, and it is impossible to abandon the old for the new."

Joseph paused, thinking of the northerner who was inseparable from Pound in the report. "Does this mean, His Excellency Funk Worrik?"

"The church in Kuluo has our marriage certificate." Pound pointed out directly.

Joseph looked rather surprised, which was not in Gonzale's report.

"...Gonza said that he is the master of the magic pattern. Is it because of this?"

"More than that," Pound replied succinctly.

"What if he is no longer the master of the magweave?" Joseph asked.

Pound raised his eyebrows. "It won't make any difference."

Joseph hesitated for a while, and then said, "Even if you will inherit my title, you need a real heir?"

Pound gave Joseph a glance this time, and didn't even bother to answer.

Joseph looked at Pound's expression for a few seconds, sighed and nodded, "Understood. Catherine also has this kind of look, when I am stupid."

"If this is your decision, I will naturally not interfere," Joseph promised afterwards, "However, the magic pattern must be removed, which is good for you or Lord Volrick."

Pound nodded in agreement, "Your Excellency... No, father has a solution?"

Joseph blinked immediately, surprised that Pound changed his name to "Father" so easily.But this attitude proves that Pound doesn't care about this title... Joseph couldn't help shaking his head, this kid must find ways to emphasize this.

At this moment, Joseph finally had the realization that he had brought it on himself, "Of course."

"Gonza must be the next Hesti."

***

When Pound and Joseph walked out of the studio, even though they were still father and son, the relationship between the two had laid the foundation of goodwill.Pound agreed to accept Joseph's compensation, and Joseph also agreed not to interfere with Pound's life any further.

As for why Pound accepted the option of "recognizing relatives", the main reason is that Joseph's story also includes his own mother and the Walder family behind it.Pound had a premonition that if the Walder family found their eldest daughter who had been missing for a long time, they would definitely do everything they could to take care of and make up for it. At that time, he would still be involved in these families, and it was inevitable .The Ward family is more innocent to Pound (Lord), and Pound does not have any strong reason to disown his relatives.

But if there might be more relatives who would judge my life in the future, I might as well choose Joseph, who owed me a lot, and use Joseph's promise as my shield.After all, if Pang De decides something, with his biological father expressing his support, others farther away have no position to say anything.

Finally, the question of recent assassinations must be mentioned.

Joseph said slightly coldly that he did not hide the news that Pound was living in the "White Hall".Let the cart with the second prince's family emblem go around more than half of the city, all the way to here, Berlin will naturally get the news later.

And this means that Joseph will be clear about everything that Berlin and Ava did to Pound. would suspect Berlin.At this moment, Berlin should be eager to clear himself from the recent assassination, and there is a high probability that he will immediately withdraw the task commission.

Just mentioning Berlin, this time Joseph asked Pound what he wanted to do.

Pound only said, "For some people, having nothing is a more severe punishment than death." As for whether people can be safe after having nothing, it is another matter.

However, there was a trace of relaxation in Joseph's slightly complicated expression."That's what he deserves," he promised, nodding his head.

***

So Pound and his party stayed in the "White Hall".

At dinner time later, the dusty Gonza appeared at the door of the restaurant, and silently joined the crowd at the long table after a salute.

At that time, Joseph was chatting with Pound, who was holding a ball of hair, about the situation of the Beastmen; Lancer followed and interjected a lot.And Pound and Joseph's back and forth "Pound" and "Father" seemed to satisfy Gonza enough that he didn't make any additional inquiries about anything today.

It's just that based on Pound's secret observations, and the fact that Gonza's eyes skipped his facial features a little more frequently, it seems that Gonza should be another person in this family who has a "Catherine plot".

It is not in vain to say that a woman can make her husband and children still remember her years after she passed away.

Pound wouldn't mind the sight too much.After all, sometimes when he looks in the mirror, he also has the illusion of looking at others.In addition, as time passes by, Pound believes that the difference between himself and Catherine will become bigger and bigger in their eyes, and will eventually disappear into nothingness.

It's just that there is another episode that I have to mention this evening.

At the end of the meal at the end of the meal, Funk suddenly raised his glass and said "Dad" and "Big Brother".

This choked the two nobles who had perfect table manners at the table.

Funk didn't care about that, he insisted on doing what he had to do.

Because he declared nervously that when northerners meet their partners and family members for the first time, they always have a drink.

Pound looked at Funk jokingly, but didn't stop him.

Little did they know that in the eyes of Joseph and Gonza, he looked more like Catherine.

The bright feelings towards the family have always been in their hearts.

So Joseph raised his glass, and so did Gonza.

***

The next day, Pound and Funk sat in the special cart of the second prince's family, appearing in the arena in a low-key but impossible to be ignored manner.The magic competition of the four colleges was held in the largest magic arena in the capital.The venue can accommodate tens of thousands of people, but the entry time of the players is earlier, and the crowd is not too crowded at this moment.

So the scene where Pound got off the cart was immediately seen by Lance who had been waiting for Pound to show up for a long time.

Lance's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Why would Pound, Tudi have anything to do with the second prince?
