Chapter 85 Monica’s Wisdom
The central banquet hall of the family castle ushered in a rare bustle today.

This is the hall that has existed since the first Bellucci.

Portraits of family heads from various generations hang on the walls, completely surrounding the spacious hall.

In the splendid banquet room, family members sat at their respective tables, sitting silently.

There were only five people at the top table, and the one sitting at the top was naturally Duke Ang.

Everyone below is waiting.

It wasn't until Duke Ang stood up and raised his glass that everyone seemed to be alive.

"With the blessings of our ancestors, our kingdom has defended the front line for another year."

"I didn't let those lowly orcs break any line of defense."

"Thank you ancestors!"

Duke Ang drank the wine glass in his hand.

All the family members below drank wine one after another, thanking their ancestors.

Duke Ang drinks, and everyone drinks.

Duke Ang eats vegetables, and everyone eats vegetables.

Duke Ang spoke, and everyone spoke.

The entire banquet was held in this extremely depressing situation.

Fortunately, it all ended soon.

"Everyone, please continue."

After leaving a word, Duke Ang helped Mrs. Rose and left directly.

Monica and the others nodded to the family members one by one, and then hurriedly followed.

Until this family, after everyone is gone.

This banquet hall has truly come to life.

"Phew, the Duke's aura is getting stronger every year."

"We're lucky, we only see each other once or twice a year, but it's hard for the Mace brothers and sisters."

"Okay, let's not talk about them. I heard that you recently bought another mansion..."

When the host leaves, the banquet really begins.

This is something that everyone has long been accustomed to.

……

Castle, study.

When the door to the study room was pushed open, Monica could hear it, and the two brothers beside her held their breaths.

"Father, mother."

Even if they are alone, they still have to behave like nobles.

The two brothers stepped aside, holding their hands, like children waiting to be scolded.

But Monica didn't care so much and threw herself directly into Mrs. Rose's arms.

"Father, mother, I miss you so much."

Monica hugged the still charming Mrs. Rose tightly, and the two beauties, one big and one small, hugged each other.

"Good boy, don't cry. You are a girl now, but you are still just like a child."

Rubbing Monica's back, Mrs. Rose's face was filled with relief.

Even Duke Ang's always tense expression couldn't help but feel a little more tender when looking at Monica.

Monica didn't leave, she just hugged Mrs. Rose and pulled her to sit on the sofa.

This made the two brothers look envious.

If they behaved like this in front of their father, they would probably be scolded.

Sure enough, what hurts the most is my daughter.

The gentle scene only lasted for a moment.

"Monica, I heard that you have been very close to a slave recently."

As soon as Duke Ang opened his mouth, the atmosphere immediately became a little tense.

Monica had known this would happen.

Although she seems to be free here, in fact, every move she makes is reported to her.

"His name is Chen Fan. I bought him from the arena."

"But it cost [-] gold coins. Now everyone knows that our Bellucci family is rich." Said, who had been silent until now, suddenly intervened to compensate.

Monica glared at him, knowing that Syd was seeking revenge.

If it makes Duke Ang unhappy, it will be useless even if Chen Fan is an official knight.

You know, many of the laws of the Iron Gale Kingdom were designed by Bellucci's ancestors.

"Monica, you should know that your identity should not be too close to that of a slave."

Duke Ang didn't care about the [-] gold coins at all, all he valued was Monica.

This time, even Mrs. Rose, who always loved her daughter, did not side with Monica.

"You should know that because of our Bellucci family's status in the kingdom, every move we make is watched."

"If people spread the word that you are too close to a handsome slave, it will have a great impact on your reputation."

"Which noble will dare to marry you in the future?"

After hearing this, Monica was not as obedient as usual, but her expression became serious.

"Father, mother, Chen Fan is not just a slave."

"There's something about him that attracts me."

Duke Ang's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and his anger was boiling.

"Where is the slave?"

"I'm going to kill him!"

What qualifications does a mere lowly slave have to be worthy of Bellucci's pearl!

Before anyone could take action, Monica stood up directly and looked directly at Duke Ang without any fear.

"I can obey my father on other matters, but not on this matter!"

Duke Ang's face darkened, he didn't expect it at all.

His always well-behaved daughter would actually contradict him for a slave.

She was about to get angry when she saw Duke Ang, but Lady Rose sighed deeply.

"Monica, you are still young and your understanding of many things is incomplete."

"Maybe you like that slave very much now, but that will change over time."

"You will slowly discover that he may not be the one you love the most."

These words were not just for Monica, there seemed to be something hidden in them.

Duke Ang, who was originally angry, paused for a moment, and then swallowed back all his angry words.

Monica looked straight into Mrs. Rose's eyes and told her very sincerely.

"Mother, I trust him."

"He may not be perfect, but I'm attracted to him."

"Besides, I had other reasons to choose him."

Monica suddenly changed her tone and faced Duke Ang directly.

"Father, I believe that at this time, we cannot marry any nobles."

"If the Bellucci family marries any other powerful family, even His Majesty the King will have trouble sleeping and eating."

"Only by marrying someone with no background can that person feel completely at ease."

Monica is not just a person with appearances.

Before coming here, she had already thought about what to say.

Other noble ladies may have been engaged to other nobles as early as their teens.

And the reason why Monica is still free until now.

It’s because of politics!

The Bellucci family is already a giant in the kingdom.

Duke Ang was even a powerful duke. He also had military power and sat on the front line.

If the family applies for marriage with any noble, it will be a dangerous signal.

This is also the reason why Duke Ang has never chosen among so many nobles asking for marriage.

And now, Monica herself has a solution.

A person born as a slave would not worry His Majesty the King.
