The male god of crossing marry me

Chapter 17
Sitting on the horse, leaning on Leo's chest, the two walked towards the castle silently under the night, the wind whistling past their ears, hanging Caroline's hair and throwing it on Leo's face.A scent of flowers drifted across Leo's nostrils. He looked down at the petite person in his arms, and Leo couldn't help smiling.It's just a little girl, and clamoring to marry her, it's really funny.

Along the path, through the dense woods, the castle is flickering not far away.

A group of men and horses were galloping towards the castle with torches in hand.

"Let's go quickly, everyone is probably looking for us." Caroline urged.Now she was very anxious and wanted to see what was inside the ring.If it was just an ordinary storage ring, a woman wouldn't be so reluctant to give it to herself.I forgot to ask clearly just now, and I don’t know that the magicians in this world are as different as I know.

Leo nodded silently, raised his foot and knocked on the horse's belly, and the horse under his crotch understood the master's intention, and began to let go of his limbs and run forward.

"Miss Caroline?" Just before the moat of the castle, the butler saw a fine horse running towards him with two people on its back, and hurriedly asked loudly.The night was very dark, and he waited cautiously, not sure who it was.

Grabbing Leo's hand, she slowly climbed off the horse, and then rushed to the butler in a hurry. Caroline threw herself into the butler's arms and said, "Grandpa butler, I'm so hungry." Walking all the way from the forest After coming out, the two rode towards the castle. The fruits they ate in the forest had already been digested by now.

The butler looked at Caroline angrily, and said in a bad tone: "Miss Caroline, is she still hungry? This trip lasted for three days. I don't know how worried the Earl is. I think I need to advise the Earl to continue to prohibit you from going out." Yes." Seeing Caroline alive and kicking, the butler felt relieved and began to lecture Caroline.In the past three days, he and the count have not seen each other, and they have been sending people everywhere to look for them. Fortunately, she went out with Leo. If she was alone, she would have to worry about whether she had been killed.

"I'm sorry~ butler, grandpa, don't be angry~ Caroline knows she's wrong~" Caroline said coquettishly while holding the butler's arm, her shaking body.She didn't want to be locked in this castle any longer.Although she likes to be quiet, it doesn't mean she can stay in the castle every day.

"Okay, come with me to see the count." He patted Caroline's head helplessly. The butler could only give up preaching, and took her to the count to report that it was important that she was safe.

Caroline nodded, and then said to Leo behind her, "I'll see you in the study after dinner, I have something to talk to you about." Then she took the butler's hand and walked into the castle.

The butler glanced back at Leo, and let Caroline pull him forward.In his heart, Leo's bad image was completely gone now.If it wasn't for Leo to take Caroline out, the housekeeper didn't believe how far she could run by herself.I don't know what he did to Caroline in the past three days. If he dared to do anything to hurt Caroline, he must kill him.The butler thought about it, and his eyes became even more unfriendly.

Leo rubbed the bridge of his nose, and shook his head helplessly. It seems that he has committed the blame this time, and he doesn't know what Caroline will say to the count.If you say the wrong thing, your life will be in danger.

"Master." Hearing that his master has returned, Leo's butler hastily ran out of the castle. In the past few days, he has endured a lot of cold eyes from the count. If his master doesn't come back again, I'm really worried about the count. He cut himself to vent his anger.

"Well, I have something to talk about when I go back to the room. I'll go see the count first." Touching the scroll in his pocket, Leo winked at the butler, and then walked into the castle first.Knight secrets?Not sure what good stuff it is.Leo rubbed his forehead and withdrew his thoughts. He would have to face the Earl's anger later, so he couldn't be distracted.Sighing, Leo resigned to his fate and walked to the study.Now he only hoped that that eccentric little girl wouldn't talk nonsense.

The housekeeper looked at his dejected young master Leo, and felt a little worried, but since the young master said to wait until later, it was inconvenient for him to ask more questions now.Speaking of which, the butler has some blood relationship with Leo. Leo’s mother is of the same family as the butler, but the butler belongs to a branch and has a lower status. Take care of him by his side and help him protect him.So in the housekeeper's eyes, Leo's relationship is the most important.

In the study, Caroline stood at the desk with her head down, not daring to look at the count.In her previous life, she had no parents, so she was very indifferent to family affection, but the earl was the father of her body, and she disappeared for three days without saying a word this time. It was inevitable that the earl would be angry, so Caroline could only stand quietly. There awaited the count's wrath.

Sensing that the Earl had come to her side, Caroline lowered her head, thinking to herself: Is it possible that the Earl is going to beat herself?The earl with memory never hit Caroline, but Caroline was very obedient at that time, and she would not go out without saying a word.For a moment Caroline felt very uneasy.

"You, remember to say hello next time you go out, don't disappear without saying a word, or with a man, do you know how worried I am about you? What should I do if something happens to you?" the earl said softly Holding Caroline in his arms, he sighed.At the beginning, her mother disappeared without a word, and he was very afraid that the only daughter she left for him would be like her.

"Father... I'm sorry... Caroline will never dare again." Feeling that the count was not angry but worried about herself, Caroline choked up for a while, her eyes were hot, and her heart was sore. Something should be said.So this is family affection. No matter what their children do wrong, the first thing parents show is worry rather than scolding.They are not afraid that you will do wrong things, but that you will be in danger.No matter what you do wrong, you can correct it, but if you encounter any danger, it will be too late to regret.

Slowly putting Caroline on the ground, the earl looked at her coldly and said, "Is it useful to be sorry? If you encounter any danger, how can I explain to your mother? You know, my love for you is not for Let you do these unreasonable things and go out without saying a word, who gave you this?! And, you know what the purpose of that Leo came, why did you go out with him?"

Standing outside the door of the study, Leo smiled wryly when he heard the earl say his name through gritted teeth.It seemed that he was really hated by the Earl.

"Father, Caroline knows it's wrong, don't be angry, it hurts your body." Biting her lips, Caroline said aloud: "I invited Leo out, but I didn't expect to get lost. It has nothing to do with Leo." Now she can be said to have a common secret with Leo, and she is worried that Leo will report his secret to the empire.Now she has not officially become a magician, so it is not suitable to be exposed to others, otherwise it will bring unnecessary danger to the Earl.

"You..." The count looked at Caroline, really not knowing what to say.What's the use of Joreo going out, he is just a pawn in the Duke's hand, even if Leo wanted not to break off the engagement with Caroline, the Duke would not agree.The count thought that Caroline Joleo went out because he hoped that he would not cancel the engagement, but he didn't expect that the fundamental purpose of Caroline Joleo's going out was to kill Leo.

Sighing, the count lifted Caroline to a chair beside him, stroked Caroline's hair, and said, "Even if this Leo breaks the marriage with you, father will find you a better man, I won’t let you get married. Although the place is remote, the annual income of the territory is quite a lot. As long as you say that whoever marries you can inherit my territory, there will definitely be many young talents Here you go. Don’t talk to Leo anymore, even if he agrees, it’s useless.”

Caroline nodded obediently. Since what the earl thought was different from what she did, it would be better not to say it. If the earl knew that he wanted to assassinate Leo, he would definitely doubt himself.I will talk about my magician talent after a while when the academy is about to recruit students. Now I will practice it myself to lay the foundation.

"Okay, let's go eat something." The count let go of Caroline. I haven't seen him for a few days. Why does he feel that Caroline has lost so much weight, and he still needs to get some good things to replenish her body? It's not suitable for her to look weak own daughter.

"Father, then Caroline will leave first."

Pushing open the door and walking out of the study, Caroline looked at Leo standing there, stuck out her tongue at Leo, and said, "Go in, don't talk nonsense. I took everything on myself, you Don't let anything out, or you will look good in the future!" Caroline said, raised her fist, then turned and walked downstairs.Rubbing her stomach, Caroline thought to herself: wait a while and comfort herself with a bowl of noodles.Although the plan did not succeed, it is not bad to get an unexpected surprise.

After moving his hands that were clenched due to nervousness, Leo smiled at Caroline's figure, once again expressed his gratitude to the earl for Caroline's education, then lightly knocked on the wooden door of the study and walked in.Although he knew that Caroline had excused him, Leo did not believe that the Earl would believe what Caroline said, and he must still suspect that he was plotting against Caroline.

The earl put his hand on the desk and knocked lightly. Although the sound of 'dong dong dong' was very subtle, it made Leo's heart beat 'thump thump'.Walking tremblingly into the study, Leo stood awkwardly in front of the desk, waiting for the earl to speak.

"I know you're here to retire the engagement, so don't beat around the bush, just say it straight. My daughter doesn't have to marry into your family. I've been silent for so long that I'm ready to be squeezed Really?" The count looked at Leo with a sneer, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.How you flattered yourself at the beginning, now you have to pay the price for repenting!
Leo shook his head, looked at the earl, and said firmly: "No, my lord earl, that is the idea of ​​the duke, not mine. I hope to marry your daughter, and I hope you can support me." Knowing how a magician is Noble, if you can marry a magician as your wife, it will be very helpful to you in the future.How could Leo give up Caroline so easily.Even if Caroline said she would not marry herself, as long as she won the count's support, she would definitely get him in the end.

"Oh?" The count looked at Leo curiously, not understanding what qualifications he had. Without the Duke's support, Leo was only a capable knight at best. How could he have the capital to change the decision made by the Duke.

Cheering himself up in his heart, Leo began to talk eloquently, hoping to convince the earl with words.As long as Earl Flory can be persuaded, Caroline will definitely marry herself.After getting the volume of Knight's Upanishad, Leo believed that he would be able to go one step further. He hoped to go to Olmec, where there is more room for his development.As long as he became a great knight, he would not look down on the Duke at all.

No outsider knew what the two talked about that night, but later, Caroline discovered that the Earl's attitude towards Leo was quite different, but she didn't know the reason.
