HP's Platinum Temptation

A tall, middle-aged couple walked into the living room of the manor through the gold-decorated Cupid fountain under the guidance of the deputy butler of the manor.

The middle-aged man who was talking to a young gentleman apologized, and quickly walked towards the middle-aged couple who entered the door.

"Your Excellency, Duke of Rezlan, beautiful Duchess, welcome! I have been looking forward to your visit for a long time!" The chubby owner of the manor warmly welcomed the middle-aged couple in a very cheerful tone, and greeted them Lead to the crowd in the center of the living room, and introduce them one by one very politely.

The young gentleman was a little dissatisfied that the pleasant conversation with the owner of the manor was interrupted, so he turned to another friend beside him and asked softly, "Who is our new guest? Duke Miles looks particularly enthusiastic."

The person who was asked put down his wine glass, followed his friend's gaze to the focus of the crowd, and showed a dazed expression: "That's the Duke of Rezlan, have you heard of it?"

"Duke of Rezlan?" The young gentleman lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head: "You know, I don't know much about these historical nobles."

"Well," the wine glass swayed slightly, and the man pondered for a while before speaking again: "Not many people know the Duke of Rezlan, and his successors are usually very low-key. As far as I know, the inheritance of this title comes from Fourteenth century."

"The fourteenth century!" The young gentleman couldn't help exclaiming. Fortunately, it didn't attract the attention of others: "Six centuries of inheritance!"

"In fact, you don't need to be so surprised. Such historical nobles are not uncommon, and their relationship with their ancestors is usually very distant. This is especially true for the Duke of Rezlan. The current Duke inherited ten years ago. Yes, the reason why more people know about it now is because His Excellency the Duke has been living in the manor in Warrington, Cheshire. They only moved to London last year."

"It looks like a very special person, tell me about it?" the young gentleman asked with great interest.

"Let's put it simply." The man took a sip of the wine in his glass: "The old Duke of Rezland is a well-known nobleman in Cheshire. But just like the history of the title of Duke of Rezland, his heir It is always very withered, which makes it impossible for us to know how many times the surname of the Duke of Rezlan has been changed. Before this, the old Duke was named Albom and had only one son. His son died unexpectedly more than ten years ago .When people were looking for a new heir, they found out that the old duke had a young daughter. But the relationship between their father and daughter was not good, and the lady left the family very early."

"Daughter? But the Duke is clearly a gentleman."

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. When the agent found the lady, they only found her tombstone. The current Duke is the grandson of the old Duke. When the old Duke learned that his daughter had passed away, he was very sad. He found his only grandson and wanted to take him to live in the manor, but was rejected by the current Duke."

"Oh? Why?" The young gentleman was aroused, and it was clear that the duke would inherit the title in the end.

"The old duke didn't understand either. He hoped to make his only grandson's life better. But what he didn't know was that his daughter was not married to an ordinary gentleman. I only found out when the agent found the current duke, the old man The duke's son-in-law was a very wealthy squire, and they left a huge inheritance to the duke, which was much larger than the estate of the old duke. Moreover, at the beginning, the duke couldn't accept the fact that he was about to inherit a noble title. About a year before the old Duke died, it took a lot of effort from the agent to persuade His Excellency the Duke to move to Cheshire."

"What happened afterwards that made them move to London?"

"Yes, something has indeed happened. Your Excellency the Duke now has three sons in total. Such a wealthy heir candidate is rare in the history of the Duke of Rezland. The reason why they moved to London was the three years with the Duke It is said that the youngest, the little gentleman, is not in good health, and they came to London in order to provide better medical conditions for the child. I heard that they plan to settle here in the future."

"Then obviously, this is an upstart among the London aristocrats, no wonder Duke Miles is so enthusiastic." The young gentleman showed a clear expression.

"Actually, the Duke of Rezlan's popularity is not so much because of his title, but because of his wealth. As I just said, his father made him have amazing wealth. A rich new Duke , This is the complete reason for his popularity." The man lowered his voice and said, "Perhaps you have heard that in recent years, the financial situation of many nobles has not been very good."

The manor of the Duke of Rezlan, the children's room on the third floor.

A soundless air wave erupted violently from the small bed in the center of the room, rushing towards the surroundings.At the same time, a faint light glowed on the four walls of the room, barely stopping its tendency to spread before the air wave destroyed the delicately decorated walls.

About a few seconds after this, the door of the baby room was pushed open.

"Honey, what's the matter with you?" A beautiful woman in a nightgown was the first to rush to the children's room.It seemed that she discovered the abnormality in the children's room when she was just about to go to bed.After being picked up by the beautiful woman, the child on the small bed cried softly for a few times and then fell silent again.

"Gretchen, what happened?" While the beautiful woman was gently coaxing the child, a middle-aged man in casual robes also entered the room.The middle-aged man has a tall and straight figure and a head of dazzling short blond hair. His angular facial features are very serious, and his pair of green eyes are very attractive.

"Little Kray had another magical riot, but he has calmed down and fell asleep now." The beautiful woman called Gretchen had long dark brown hair with big waves.

"The number of magic riots he had in the past six months has become less and less, and the speed of calm after the incident has also become faster and faster. We can stop worrying so much." The middle-aged man walked to the bed, leaning on the beautiful woman and watching Back to bed child.

"Oh, yes, Burtram. If it wasn't for St. Mungo's doctor to confirm that his soul and magic power are very stable, I would be worried that his magic power would collapse."

"No, our child is very good, isn't he? He is born with a strong soul wave, and he will be a smart child."

"But he's not very sober all the time, isn't he?" The beautiful woman stretched out her hand to caress the child's little face lovingly: "Apart from waking up to eat occasionally, he never spoke."

"Go to sleep, don't think too much. He is getting better and better. The doctor and we have assured that his body is not strong enough to carry his powerful soul. As he grows, everything will be fine. Recently He started to cry a lot, didn't he?" The middle-aged man put his hands on the shoulders of the beautiful woman, and patted comfortingly: "This is not an unacceptable phenomenon in the history of wizards. We should all rest earlier, Terrence will be back tomorrow, we have to pick him up at the station."

The beautiful woman nodded when she heard the words, she got up and leaned against the bed, kissed the sleeping child on the forehead, and said good night softly.Then he left the room accompanied by a middle-aged man.

After about ten minutes, the child on the crib shook his eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes.

The dim light in front of him is to allow him to enjoy a good sleep without being disturbed by the harsh light.The surrounding environment is very familiar, the same as what he saw after countless short waking hours.

For about two years, he slept far more than he was awake.This caused him to seem unable to clearly feel his own existence. Most of the time, he only had a hazy feeling floating in mid-air.It wasn't until the last six months that he gradually recovered his feeling.

He has been thinking about a problem for a long time.Sometimes he will be very tired, and then fall into a deep sleep uncontrollably; sometimes, his thinking will enter a deadlock, causing him to just keep his head up and his eyes open blankly for a long time, letting the chaotic thoughts After passing through his brain, he couldn't grasp any clues.Usually, he doesn't need to care about anything except thinking.

About why he's a kid about to turn three now, why he thought he was a 20-something not so long ago, and why he remembers dying from a lover's vengeful assassination and being reincarnated as a baby.

At first he'll think it's a joke, or a longer dream.It wasn't until later that he realized that this was not a dream, but reality.Perhaps some kind of mutation has occurred in him, causing him who should be a baby to have the thinking ability of an adult strangely.Or he is really an adult who died and was reborn in another era, but because of some mistakes, the original memory did not disappear.

So for a period of time, he was in a state of disbelief, overwhelmed, and could only follow his instincts.It seemed that the pain from the knife piercing his body hadn't dissipated in the last second, and in the next second, he was already lying in a warm embrace, with new parents who loved and loved him, and two older brothers.

He tries to make sense of his situation and think rationally.But a body that belongs entirely to a baby cannot provide enough energy for his complex mental activities until he grows up to the appropriate level.

During the time he wasn't able to observe his surroundings, his body had been reacting instinctively.This also led to the fact that when he was able to clearly recognize all the people and things around him for the first time, they had already left extremely familiar traces in his memory.
