Pilgrimage [Western Fantasy] - chapter 27

One thing Estelle didn’t know was that when Sizer was still alive, there was a magician who admired her until he gave birth to paranoia and wanted to sneak into her estate.

It happened that at this time, the earl who was on the manor immediately noticed that he had caught the other party.

Weird patterns appeared on the left side of the magician’s face. He was born as a boy or a girl. His strange appearance and different-colored pupils made his beauty look like a brightly colored venomous snake in nature.

At this time, Estelle was locking herself in the study to study magic, and the attendant who belonged to the Hawke family outside the manor urgently handed the news. Not long after, Sizer rushed over.

The two men made a decision at the same time. They were determined to hide the matter together and did not intend to tell the girl who was devoting herself to research.

The quiet magician, who originally had his head hanging down, suddenly burst out after seeing Cizer. He held down his attendants and was caught off guard before he could break free. The magician opened his mouth and bit Cizer’s throat like a beast.

Cizel frowned, his arms were so close that he could only see the remaining figure, and he immediately grabbed the other person’s throat and picked it up.

The magician’s face turned red, and lack of oxygen prevented him from saying one sentence in a row: “ dirty and dirty noble! Ahem! Even if you. . . . . ”

Count Stoke’s eyelids jumped, and the smile on his face became deeper. The retainers next to him were so frightened that they didn’t dare to look more. Cizer let go of his hand, and the magician fell to the ground and coughed violently.

The handsome black-haired grandpa repeated: “ tear you apart? ”

He lowered his eyes and realized something was wrong. The count on the side spoke in a hurry: “ Has Ace been in love lately? ”

Sizer shook his head, the old housekeeper shook his head, and the valet shook his head. Phoebe was puzzled: “ His Highness has been living on the manor recently and has not gone out to participate in social activities. Even when I go out, I accompany her to buy some materials. ”

“Have you forgotten your Excellency! ” The magician breathed a sigh of relief and climbed up to the count: “ you promised yourself to betroth Miss Estelle to me! ”

The anomaly was finally verified, and Cizer squinted: “ betroth El to you? ”

The expression on his face when he said this was really intriguing, probably because of his long-term contact with Estelle. The temperament between his eyebrows was slightly similar to her, and the expression at this time was even more similar: “ Why didn’t I hear her say it? ”

“Sizer Hawke!” The magician was furious: “ Even if you use means to break us up and force my lover to separate from me! But my heart and Ace’s will always be attached! ”

Sizer’s eyebrows raised high, and he was silent for a moment, glancing at the count: “ send him to the security team. ”

“Hawk! I’ll kill you! Just wait! ”

The cursing voice grew further and further away, and behind Sizer, the boy who looked very similar to him frowned. He lowered his voice: “ just let him go so easily? ”

Cizelle glanced at the teenager on her side, her sister’s child, Arnold Phyllis: “ needs a vigilante investigation to convict. ”

Arnold seemed to disagree, and he tried his best to argue: “ but he had such offensive behavior towards you, and that kind of! ”, at this point, his face turned red, “ that kind of factless words! ”

Arnold, who was still shallow in the city, did not see the quick flash of Sizer’s face. He only heard the other party’s sigh: “ hey, after all, I can’t lynch in vain. ”

Arnold bit his lip, lowered his head, and within an hour he took the opportunity to leave.

“what do you want to do? ” Earl Stoke means a lot, “ he is your nephew. ”

Cizer lowered his head: “ I didn’t force him. ”, he looked at the dark clouds slowly oppressing him in the distance, “ that it was going to rain. ”

He left without looking back, and Earl Stoke looked at his cloaked back toward the other side of the manor, the room Estelle had reserved for him to rest, and couldn’t help but sneer.

Three days later, the sheriff knocked on Sizer’s mansion. It was a rainy day. The sheriff in a raincoat reported to him that the magician died suddenly and tragically in the prison where he was temporarily imprisoned. The grandfather, who was standing by the window and quietly watching the rain, turned his head: “ I know, thank you for your hard work. ”

After the Sheriff left, Cizer stood there quietly for a long time, and after a long while said to the housekeeper who seemed to be a transparent person: “ I have decided not to marry anyone. You said, if I let Arnold How about his adoption into the Hawke family? ”

The butler bowed slightly:“ if this is your will. ”

Cizer curled his lips: “ Come on, if this were the case, you wouldn’t cry in front of me one by one in the past few years and ask me to have a child, even an illegitimate child. ”

A good housekeeper is to learn to ignore a speech from his master. The housekeeper’s smile remains the same: “ When are you going to mention this to Miss Carroll? ”

“now.”

Butler:?

Sizer had already picked up his cloak on his hanger and strode into the rainy night.

“are you going to raise Arnold as an heir? ”

As soon as Estelle finally left the retreat in the dark, as soon as she opened the door to eat, Sizer, who was carrying a box of pastries, came in with the wind and sat down and reached out. Estelle hit him with chopsticks. Hand:“ didn’t prepare your portion! Phoebe hasn’t eaten yet. ”

Cizel showed an extremely pitiful expression: “ I haven’t eaten Al in a day. ”

At this time, Phoebe had already put the new meal on the table and said with a smile: “ Miss specifically ordered the kitchen to cook more of the Grand Duke’s favorite meals, saying that you would definitely come. ”

Estelle, who was exposed by her own maid, pretended to be stupid: “? When did I say that? I don’t remember. ”

Cizer took off her cloak, pinched her face and rubbed it: “ such a beautiful girl, why does her memory have problems? ”

Estelle raised her hand to pinch his belly: “ her face is swollen! ”

Phoebe patted the order of the dishes on the table, ignoring the way the two owners didn’t care about the image going crazy. In the end, Estelle grabbed Cizer’s arm and twisted it around as a victory horn. Cizer smiled, took a few breaths, and finally picked up the dishes.

This was also the “ imported product brought by the sailing team back to the port. Estelle and Cizer quickly changed their dining utensils and vigorously promoted crops such as east rice. The high degree of consistency between the two people in some matters makes people wonder whether there has been a plan behind the scenes.

Halfway through the meal, Cizer said to Estelle that he planned to adopt Arnold and raise him as an heir.

“ah? Are you sure? ” Estelle has no problem with it. Her only concern is, “ will those in your family agree? ”

Sizer’s chopsticks clicked on the tabletop: “ Of course, I’ll let them agree. ”

She “ oh” said: “ okay, remember to come to me if you have anything to do. ”, as if the discussion is not about a big thing that can cause a lot of trouble in the empire, but about what to eat tonight.

Carol Hawke sat on the other side of the table.

The married lady had a delicate and moving appearance, with her golden curly hair hanging down her shoulders. Carol lowered her eyes and took a sip of black tea: “ Are you looking for me today because of Arnold? ”

“yes.” Sizer pushed a document, “ Sister Carol, you haven’t raised Arnold much since he was born. You also know how awkward Arnold’s position in the Phyllis family is. ”

“I just. . . . . ” Carol wants to argue, interrupted by Cizer, “ these words don’t say to me, the person you’re sorry for is not me, but Arnold, who you’re sacrificing. ”

Carol, who had become increasingly estranged from his eldest son over the years, moved the corner of his mouth and looked down at the document: “ I know, I will bring it to Phyllis. ”

Cizer let go: “ I will visit tomorrow and hope the Marquis of Phyllis can give me a satisfactory answer. ”

Carol naturally saw Sizer’s inevitable intention. The lady took a deep breath and reluctantly smiled: “ Sizer, at least a few more days for Phyllis to think about. . . . ”

Sizer stood up, straightened her clothes, and gave her a strange look: “ What do you want? Is there any difference between this son alive and dead in his eyes? ”

Carol’s smile couldn’t stop. She took a deep breath. At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and the lady frowned and wanted to scold: “ who allows you. . . . . ”

After seeing the girl in the black dress, she pressed back the next words: “ turns out to be His Excellency Estelle. ”

“long time no see, Mrs. Carroll. ”, Estelle nodded to her, a rather sweet smile on her gorgeous and cold face, “ look at your face, are you cured of your illness? ”

Carol, who was still panicked at first, saw that the extremely beautiful girl was at least relieved by the beauty. She knew that Estelle was coming to see Sizer for something, and there would be no result if she continued to talk. After a few words, he said goodbye wisely.

Cizer hugged his arms and watched Carol leave. Estelle turned her head: “ You don’t have to be so straightforward with her. ”

Cizer, who knew Estelle was coming in to relieve the siege, spread his hands: “ I didn’t say anything wrong. ”

“Arnold. . . . . Is it the child who has been following you for the most recent time? ”

“He is older than you. ”

Cizer turned his fingers: “ What do you think of him? ”

Estelle thought back to the taciturn boy behind Sizer: “ looks very tolerant, and I don’t see any more. ”

“is enough to tolerate it. ”

Cizer collapsed on the sofa without any image: “ is better than what my titular brothers once did. ”

Even if he hides his intentions, he will not jump up and down every day to make friends with other nobles. For fear that others will not see that his intentions are evil, only a few minor nobles are willing to accept the invitation, and the rest of the imperial capital has not agreed.

Cizer is young, powerful, tough, and trusted by the emperor. If you compare the quality of those illegitimate children, it is really too far behind! Not to mention that the laws of the empire had already determined the unshakable inheritance of property titles for legitimate children, and the verification ceremony of bl00d magic was abolished. Why could they bring down Sizer Hawke.

Sure enough, not long after Cizer took action, the loyal retainers threw all the illegitimate children into prison.

“al.”

Cizer patted the seat next to him: “ Can you train a dog? ”

“no? ”

Cizer narrowed his eyes: “ you have to remember that you can’t show fear when facing a vicious dog. You have to be far more ruthless and cold than him, leaving him with no place to turn around. ”

“can also give him a little sweetness when he is afraid of surrendering. ”

“lasts forever and can be used by you. ””
