Chapter 10 Fiance

"Dong dong dong." There was a low voice from the wooden door, and the count put down what he was holding, and said, "Come in." He was inquiring about the book that Caroline said contained crops thousands of years ago, because Caroline He also forgot which one it was, so he could only look for it by himself, hoping to find something useful from the book.

"My lord... there is your urgent message... it seems to be from the imperial capital." The knight pushed the door into the study with a heavy breath, and said out of breath.He was a soldier guarding the front of the earl's territory, and since he received this letter, he hastily rode over here.Since the earl was divided to the border, it has been a long time since he received a letter from the imperial capital.The soldiers worried that the letter was so urgent that there must be something important, so they rushed over in a hurry.

The count nodded and told the soldiers to leave, then slowly opened the inkpad on the envelope. From the patterns on the inkpad, it can be seen that it was sent by his father's old friend, the count from another branch of the Arrante family.Although it is also a branch, their family is well-connected, so the territory is relatively close to the imperial capital, and the sources of news are also very extensive.

The earl carefully pulled out the letter paper from the envelope, and when he saw it, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.It turned out that because of the earl's extraordinary talent, he stepped into the ranks of brave knights early on. Although it was only an inconspicuous branch of Arrante, it also attracted the attention of many people.It is precisely because of this that the earl's territory is guarding here at the border.The family is worried that the earl is ambitious, and also worried that someone with a heart will instigate the earl to rebel.Although the earl has kept his own place in the border area these years, he has been closely monitored by his family.

However, what was said in the letter had nothing to do with the Earl himself, but had a lot to do with Caroline.

When the earl's father was alive, their entire family was still near the imperial capital. At that time, he married a wife and gave birth to Caroline.Under the lead of the family, Caroline made an engagement with the eldest grandson of another duke right after she was born.At that time, everyone believed that the descendants of a brave knight should have higher talents.

But because Caroline hadn't become a knight for so many years, seeing that the eldest grandson of the Duke's family was about to reach the age of marriage, he sent the eldest grandson to lead someone to divorce Caroline.The Duke's family doesn't want their future mistress to be a useless waste.What's more, the earl is not valued in remote places now, so the duke's family came to withdraw the engagement with great fanfare.

This is an insult to the Earl, and even more an insult to Caroline. If this matter gets out, Caroline probably won't be able to marry in this lifetime.No wonder the Earl was about to explode when he read the letter.

After ordering someone to find the housekeeper, the earl leaned on his chin with both hands, thinking in his heart, if this person really came to withdraw the engagement, he would just let someone ambush him on the way and kill them.It doesn't matter for him to be ashamed, anyway, he has been used to it over the years, and those who dare to humiliate him will end up with nothing good in the end.But he couldn't let Caroline bear such a big humiliation.Caroline finally became cheerful. If this happened again, he would really worry about Caroline's health.

"Lord Earl, what happened?" Seeing the earl's face livid, the butler knew that something serious must have happened, and asked nervously.

The count threw the letter on the table to the butler's feet, and the butler hurriedly knelt down to pick it up.After carefully reading the letter from beginning to end, the housekeeper gritted his teeth angrily. He really didn't take them seriously.Over the years, they have been guarding the frontier conscientiously, and they have worked hard without credit. My family sends a lot of good things every year, but I didn't expect that the duke wanted to divorce because of his eldest grandson's talent.At that time, their family asked someone to come to the door. If it wasn't for the face of the family, the old duke would not have agreed to the marriage.It's fine to call off the marriage, anyway, it's been more than ten years, and not many people will remember this marriage, as long as the two families dissolve it quietly in private.But this is good, the whole emperor knows about it.

I'm afraid it won't be long before the entire Arrante Empire knows that a humble branch of the Arrante family managed to climb up to the Duke of God's Capital, but in the end the marriage was divorced because the family daughter was useless.Even those who knew the truth back then would not stand up and explain the truth for a small earl in a remote area now.

"Send someone to kill them all!! Don't keep a single one!! Kill them all!!" the earl said through gritted teeth. Just because he's been quiet all these years doesn't mean that anyone can ravage him, especially for his beloved Daughter, this matter must not be so simple.They must be killed to vent their anger, the earl thought fiercely in his eyes.It seems that people are so cheap, if you give him a good face, he will start to show shame.

The Earl himself didn't care too much about rights, as long as he ate and drank well, had women to play with, and his daughter was happy, nothing would happen.But now it seems that these people have forgotten that he advanced to the level of brave knight just after turning 20 years old. Although he has not advanced again in the past ten years, there is absolutely no one among the brave knights who can match him.

The butler hesitated for a moment, but did not answer.With the Earl's current strength, there is no big problem, but their family is so big, if they really match up with the Duke of the imperial capital, then there will be a lot of trouble.On a larger scale, it is a serious crime of conspiracy and rebellion.If this hat is put on the head of the family, the whole family will be over. "My lord, you still have to think twice. The news of their divorce from Miss Caroline is about to spread all over the world. If anything happens now, you will be the first to be suspected. You can't be in a hurry to vent your anger, maybe this is a conspiracy against you?"

No one can guess what my family is thinking, but if this matter is that my family and the duke join forces to target the earl, then with the earl's temper, something big will happen.If the Earl really took action against the Duke's family, the ultimate crime of treason would never be cleared away.

Perhaps the authorities were confused by the onlookers. When the butler said this, the earl took a long breath to calm down, and then asked, "What should you do in your opinion? This breath is not so easy to swallow." Dare to hurt For the person who came to Caroline, I would never let him live comfortably.The earl thought of the blue veins on his hands.

"This..." The butler couldn't think of a good solution for a while, and didn't know how to answer.The most difficult thing about this matter is Miss Caroline, who is already weak. If the news of her divorce is known to the world, she must feel uncomfortable. If there is something wrong with Miss Caroline... The butler didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

"Father, lunch is ready. May I go in?" Caroline held the plate and moved her sore arms. She had been standing outside the study door and listening for a while. Although she didn't know the specific situation, but I also know that I was divorced.If you quit, you can quit, anyway, she doesn't know that man, so it's better to quit.Otherwise, since she was so old, marrying a stranger as a wife, if that man was ugly or had some flaws, Caroline would feel terrible when she thought about it.

"Come in." The earl winked at the butler, and then the two moved their stiff faces, looking at Caroline pretending to be happy, and said, "I don't know what good food I made, if it's not delicious, I will be angry." For the sake of my daughter, I had no choice but to make a bad move.The count thought, stood up and took the food from Caroline from the butler.

This is a simple bowl of Beef and Wild Vegetable Noodles.In a silver bowl, a noodle is lying in it, and then beef and wild vegetables are spread on the noodle.The noodle soup is white, with bits and pieces of fat floating on it.The scent lingered in the earl's nostrils, the earl moved his nose slightly, curiously scooped up some soup with a spoon and put it into his mouth.The noodle soup tastes extra fresh with a salty taste and a little beef flavor.Pick up the noodles with a fork, and put wild vegetables and beef on it into your mouth. The aroma of beef, the slightly bitter taste of wild vegetables, and the firmness of the noodles slowly squirm between the teeth. The taste is not only delicious, but also has a kind of Earl There is a fragrance that I have never tasted before.

"Father, how does it taste?" Caroline asked nervously and weakly in her heart. She was a little worried that the Earl had never eaten this kind of food. What if the Earl didn't like this beef noodle.After thinking about it many times, she recently decided to make this simple beef noodle dish without any other seasonings. Although it is delicious, it is still a bit lacking.

Putting down the fork in his hand, the count stared at Caroline for a long time before saying, "That's right, it tastes good." Then he pushed the noodles in front of the butler, signaling that he would also eat it often.This kind of food is indeed much more delicious than the grilled meat bread that I often eat. The noodles and soup are well blended together, leaving a lasting fragrance in the mouth.However, he had to wonder now, did Caroline really read this from the book?Something happened that I didn't know about. It seems that I need someone to find out what happened to Caroline some time ago.If Caroline knew that she was suspected by the earl because of this bowl of noodles, she would probably jump off the building angrily.After all the calculations, it was this bowl of noodles that almost exposed her.

The butler slowly picked up the silver bowl, then picked up wild vegetables and beef and put them into his mouth to chew gently. After a while, he nodded to Caroline who was looking at him expectantly.Strictly speaking, this bowl of food is really good, but it's not too good. There are many delicacies in the capital city, and compared with those, this bowl of food is a bit inferior.It's just that because they are in a remote place, the chefs of the imperial capital will not be willing to come here to cook. They can have better development space in the imperial capital, so there is no good food.

But Caroline didn't know this, and she was very happy that her face was affirmed by the earl and the butler.Then he said: "Father, isn't it just a divorce? What are you discussing with the housekeeper? I don't feel anything about that fiancé, so I don't care about it. Don't worry about me. Let him come, I'll pay you back." I want to see what kind of person dares to treat me like this." Although Caroline doesn't care about this fiancé who has never masked her face, she also knows that it would be a very embarrassing thing in this world for her to be divorced by the man. What's more, it will lose the face of the whole family.Dare to retire, I want you to look good, Caroline smiled badly, thinking of some bad ideas.

 Hey, Laodou is sick. Recently, I am with him, helping to pull out needles and so on. I don’t have time to type. I come back every night and I can’t read book reviews, I can’t see collections, and I don’t want to type. Is it because the writing is so bad? What do people see?
