Yellow hair can also have a husband-chasing crematorium

The old housekeeper looked even more guilty: "The old duke...was frightened by the madam, so he didn't dare to intervene."

Langdon: "A majestic man, why are you so scared?"

"... Ma'am has a little hobby of blood."

After thinking about it, Langdon couldn't help but began to take a deep breath: "...I'm so tired."

Flora quickly pushed the teacup forward: "Calm down, this tea can calm your mind, you can try it."

Langdon didn't refuse, picked up the cup and drank it. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but he calmed down quickly and concluded.

"Anyway, the fact that my mother deliberately raised Helena like this has almost been confirmed."

After all, it was because of giving birth to him that he broke down. Langdon also had mixed feelings about his mother, and also about the sins she did... This is the main reason why he is still patient with Helena now.

But human patience is really limited, Langdon must quickly find a reliable therapist for Helena.

Flora was very distressed: "Why is Madam like this..."

"But you also reminded me, I'm afraid I need to talk to the therapist about these things, otherwise I won't be able to prescribe the right medicine..." Langdon didn't want to talk about his mother and changed the subject, "In this case, it seems that Duke Melotti Ms. is more suitable."

Those who are also members of the duke's family understand the unspoken rules among the nobles, and may be used to this kind of shit, and will not reveal these things as talk for the sake of showing off...

Langdon made up his mind: "I'll go back and visit Miss Melotti and ask her what she thinks."

8. A corner that begins to collapse (3k)

They said they wanted to visit, but after asking a little bit, Langdon found that there was actually a better social occasion recently.

That was the reception banquet for the mission of the Heka Empire.

The invitation letter has already been sent out by the emperor. It is easy to find out who will attend this kind of banquet.

Although Siruneta is not in good health, it is estimated that her family sent her from the principality to the imperial capital not only for school, but also for her to participate in more social activities, so she will also attend this banquet.

...Langdon always felt a little subtle, as if he had seen the path his mother had walked in this life.

Unlike the situation of the Stuart family, the Duchy of Melotti has produced many magicians over the years, and perhaps there is no shortage of Hirunita. Maybe they will feel that compared to Hirunita whose upper limit is there, Let her marry and have children, and she is more likely to give birth to a healthy person with awakened blood vessels, which will make a greater contribution to the family.

Because according to the practice of this world, if the blood magic is awakened, the original family has the right to ask the other party to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors - blood magic!The word "bloodline" is already very self-explanatory. Since it is my family's blood magic that has been awakened, it means that there must be more of his blood in my family-don't care if this statement is scientific or not, anyway, the world agrees with this statement.

It is another matter that the other family is not willing to hand it over. When the time comes to let the lord judge, with the status of the Melotti family, there is no need to worry about this.

As long as one's own strength exists, this method can control the outflow of blood magic to a certain extent.

The reason why nobles have more children is mainly because they want to try their luck to see if they can become magicians, but if they awaken the blood magic from their mother’s family, it will be embarrassing for him to have only one heir—even if the probability is very small. Low, in so many years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have only been two cases.

His mother is like that. If Siluneta also gets married and has children, her health will only be worse... Although I really want to say that the Melotti family should not be so crazy, Langdon has already reached the bottom line of feudal nobles' integrity and morality. Nothing to look forward to.

In short, since Cyrunita will attend the banquet and Langdon has received the invitation letter, the next step is simple. He only needs to attend the banquet to meet Cyrunita.

However, the matter of the Windward Banquet was too widely spread, and Helena heard about it from someone. She couldn't leave school, so she found an opportunity for Langdon to go to school, and stopped Langdon to say that he wanted to talk.

"You want to go too?" Langdon raised his eyebrows. "Aren't you busy with study and work? Are you planning to find someone to marry if you take the time to do this kind of thing?"

In this kind of social occasion, men usually go to talk about business or chat with friends, but most of the noble girls who go there want to take the opportunity to see if there are any young people who are suitable for marriage.

Calculating the time needed from falling in love to getting engaged to getting married, Helena really should start thinking about this aspect.

Helena didn't expect that she only mentioned that she wanted to go with her, and Langdon's brain circuit jumped to the marriage partner in an instant.

… Langdon, are you considering marrying her off?Otherwise, why is this the first reaction?

Helena instantly forgot what she wanted to say, and blurted out: "Will you agree to whoever I want to marry?"

Langdon replied subconsciously, "Of course."

When he had a good relationship with Helena, he promised Helena that he would not let her marry, but let her freely choose the husband she likes... because Langdon felt that it was very difficult for a girl to be born in this feudal society. It's not easy, at least give me some freedom in this respect.

It's just that in the past, he might have been a younger brother, helping to check for his sister, but now he won't refute whatever name Helena gives her.

Of course, when Langdon answered like this, he didn't consider that he was also within the range of Helena's choice at all, otherwise he wouldn't have answered so readily.

After all, from his point of view, even if Helena and Helena are still siblings, who would think about that?It's not a pervert!

But Helena felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Langdon's answer.

She felt inexplicably anxious, but she didn't know what she was anxious or dissatisfied with. Langdon fully respected her opinion. Isn't that great?

But in the next second, Langdon suddenly changed his mind: "Uh... But you should treat your illness first, and it's better to let the marriage take its course."

Langdon said this because he suddenly realized that it is not good to push the mentally ill to the uninformed. Just like his mother, if one fails, the other family will be ruined and a tragedy like his ...

Probably because he empathized too much. Langdon knew intellectually that his burden would be relieved at once, but emotionally, his conscience ached.

But if someone really insisted on marrying Helena, Langdon wouldn't specifically refuse, he would just respect and bless and lock her up.

Helena didn't understand the psychological activities of Langdon's change of mouth. She only thought that Langdon didn't want her to marry, and his mood, which was full of haze for unknown reasons, suddenly changed for the better.

Even though she didn't think she was sick, Helena smiled and said, "Okay, listen to you."

This was what Langdon most hoped to hear from Helena, but now that he heard it, he felt no wavering in his heart.

"But I still want to go to the banquet with you." Helena continued.

Well, knowing this would be the case, and this is very Helena, Langdon asked calmly, "So, why?"

"Have you forgotten what happened at the last two banquets?" Helena frowned, "I'm worried, it happens that my magic is defense, and if I'm here, I can protect you."

Langdon weighed it up. From the doctor's point of view, Helena has been behaving normally recently, and maybe it's almost time to give her some sweets and let her go out of school, and her words may not be unreasonable.

Although nothing happened at the banquet in the game plot, but at this point in the game plot, no demons were exposed!Who knows if there will be any butterfly effect, it's better to be cautious with a defense system.

And he was going to discuss Helena's matter with Siruneta, maybe he could let Siruneta experiment with Helena on the spot to see if it worked, and it would save him an extra trip.

So Langdon agreed.

Bridget watched the whole process. Although she had read the clarification in the newspaper, she felt that Helena was in the army, but after seeing it, she only thought that Helena looked like a sister who cared about her younger brother, which seemed quite normal...

When Langdon found an excuse to leave, Bridget couldn't help asking, "Duke, Miss Helena actually cares about you."

"If you have to say it, I really care."

"But the Duke is not happy?"

"...Senior sister, you like eating persimmons, right? And you hate apples?"

Bridget didn't understand why the subject was jumping so fast, but she replied, "Yeah, what's the matter?"

Langdon sighed: "If I care about you very much and think that you eat too much persimmons, which is not good for your health, and force you to eat apples, will you be happy?"

Bridget: "...No."

"That's it, let's forget about it this time. Most of the time, Helena cares about me regardless of my own wishes. She doesn't care whether I need it or not—even if she points it out, she doesn't think she is wrong."

Probably because she was afraid of being sent to recuperate again, Helena has become much more normal recently, and she has not suffered from any illness since arriving in the principality and returning to the imperial capital.

...But think about it carefully, isn't Helena's current state the same as when she first came to the imperial capital a few years ago?It's not getting better at all, it just looks normal on the surface, so Langdon's vigilance has never let go.

Facing the kind of "I'm for your own good" control, Langdon felt that his endurance was probably lower than expected. Lilica Riddler was not as irritating to him as Helena, and he didn't know that because he suddenly knew that his mother How long can the calmness and patience towards Helena due to sin be maintained.

...and Bellatrix, who occasionally showed a very subtle attitude when telling him about Helena, which made Langdon very disturbed.

Alas, anyway, let’s ask Siruneta first. If her body can afford it, he really hopes that she will agree to treat Helena.

Within a few days, the date on the invitation arrived, and Langdon took Bridget and Helena to the palace.

This is not the Principality of Stuart, and Langdon couldn't give Bridget special privileges, so before entering the banquet hall, Bridget took off her sword, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Langdon complained: "So I want you to learn more, so that even if you lose the sword you are most familiar with, you won't lose too much strength with other temporary enchantments. Your teacher can use a branch as a weapon..."

"...You're right, Duke." Bridget put on the pain mask, "I'm still not professional enough!"

No wonder the duke agreed to bring Helena. It turned out that he expected her combat power to decline and suspected that she would not be able to protect him!

Relying on her high talent, teachers and seniors dote on her very much. Bridget, who has a big heart, has always been more Buddhist about improving herself.

There are many things that are useless to talk about, but to experience it personally, and Bridget suddenly felt deeply moved.

Losing the familiar sword and losing the weight on her waist made her feel insecure. How can she protect the Duke in such a state...

Bridget, who is always passive in theoretical study, rarely has the idea of ​​studying hard.

Helena quietly watched Langdon and Bridget talking, and suddenly found that she couldn't get in the way.

The atmosphere between the knight and Langdon, who had only met for a short time, was actually warmer than that of her, who had lived with Langdon for more than ten years.

This is the price, what my mother said, she should discipline Langdon well, and prevent Langdon from learning bad things, which may be hated by Langdon, and she did accept it.

...no need to envy others.

The mother is not wrong, if it is not for her efforts, the Stuart family, which the father left behind, will sooner or later be eaten by the moths below, and Langdon will also become a dude——

Hey?

...would Langdon have become a dude without her?

[ps: I still owe two more updates, continue tonight~]

9. Marriageable age (3k)

Langdon needed someone to watch, and he couldn't do without her.

For Helena, this was originally an unquestionable answer.

However, at the birthday party, the image of Langdon calmly facing the uninvited guest from the blood clan, even when he received the unknown greeting from the blood clan queen, suddenly flashed in Helena's mind at this moment.

A slight panic surged in her heart, but it was soon suppressed by her subconsciously finding a reason.

...It must be because Langdon like that made her feel too strange.

But what kind of Langdon was she familiar with?

Helena tried her best to recall, but all she could remember was Langdon's quarrel with her, contradicting her memory, and she had to work hard to recall earlier in order to remember some tender moments.

She couldn't help but look at Langdon, who almost forgot she was there, who was joking with Bridget.

...Although I say not to envy others, who wants to be alienated and disgusted by the people they care about?If possible, she also hoped that Langdon would treat herself gently.

It's just that since she agreed to her mother and chose this path, she couldn't be shaken by such trivial matters.

Helena looked at Langdon who seemed to have forgotten that she was beside her, and couldn't help calling out: "Langdon..."

Langdon heard it, and he turned his head slightly to look over, the smile on his face faded instantly and became formulaic: "What's wrong?"

Just as Helena was about to say something, Langdon noticed that Langdon's attention had passed him directly and looked behind her.

"Landon!"

The pink-haired saint ran over excitedly, holding up the hem of her skirt, and Langdon even reached out to help her up.

Flora took Langdon's hand naturally, and then said to Langdon, "I saw Princess Melotti, she's over there, do you want to go find her now?"

Langdon glanced at the direction she came from: "Wait a minute, His Majesty and His Royal Highness Leonard from the mission have not arrived yet. I will definitely go to greet them first."

Now there is also the second prince of the August Empire. If you continue to call His Royal Highness Leonard of the Heka Empire the second prince, it will be easy to confuse him, so let’s call him by his first name.

Helena heard the familiar name and asked vigilantly, "Princess Melotti? What are you looking for?"

However, as soon as she asked, the emperor appeared in the banquet hall before she could get an answer. Helena couldn't continue to dwell on this question, so she could only salute in the direction of the emperor with doubts.

Of course she knew about the daughter of Duke Cyrunita Melotti.

Although Hirunita is younger than her, she also enrolled in the same year, and like her, she is awakened by blood magic.

It's just that those eyes just look at each other will cause discomfort, there is a feeling of being spied on, the reputation of the spiritual department is very delicate, and Siluneta is born noble, and looks weak and fragile, so even if you need to hug None of the freshmen who came to get acquainted with the school took the initiative to approach Siruneta.

The same is true for Helena, who only greeted Cyrunita out of courtesy at the beginning, and occasionally nodded when they met.

For such a person, why did Langdon want to find Cyrunita?

Just like when Helena was going to a banquet, Langdon's first reaction was that she was ready for marriage. Helena's first reaction when Langdon expressed that he was going to find Siruneta was also Langdon's investigation of fiancée candidates. .

Yes, he has also reached this age. Even if his peers are not married, they are at least engaged. Only Langdon's mother died early, and his father didn't care about it, so it was delayed until now...

As for Duke Melotti's daughter, she has a reputation for poor health and everyone is watching, so there is no news of her engagement.

But as we all know, women have always had fewer choices than men.

Therefore, the best candidate for the princess to marry is Langdon, or the prince who is not yet an adult. After all, the older prince must either get engaged or get married, and if he wants to consider other things, he can only marry.
