Sword Sorcery

Chapter 305 Relationships
When the two of them entered the manor, a vast expanse of lawn greeted them. In the center was an elegant white pool sculpture, surrounded by some equally elegant white architectural sculptures. Coupled with the pool that was spouting water springs, the temperature was raised. A breath of elegance.

The nobles strolled on the lawn together. The lawn in front of the banquet hall was quite large. Even if the nobles from the entire Corvo port gathered here, it would not feel crowded.

Aaron took a glance, and with his outstanding observation ability, he found an 'acquaintance' among the crowd——

"Steve Leo?"

Aaron recognized the identity of the other party. It was Angoli's father, Viscount Steve.

At the same time, the other party also noticed Aaron's gaze, stopped talking with other people, turned around and looked over——

"It's him?!"

The next moment, Steve couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment, then he hesitated, and finally chose to walk towards the two.

"Long time no see, Aaron, and Lily"

Steve came in front of the two of them and greeted them awkwardly.

It's a pity that An Geli obviously didn't appreciate it very much. She held the black skirt in one hand, bowed and performed a noble etiquette——

"It's been a long time, Mr. Steve."

Hearing Angeli's address, Steve couldn't help but his face froze, and couldn't help but said: "Lily, we can't help it. You need to know the identity of Lord Liede, he represents the will of the Finnish royal family."

"Duke Charles has passed away. Sooner or later, the entire Port of Corvo will be owned by the Finnish Empire. As the future owner of the Port of Corvo, Lord Rieder, it is the best choice for you to follow him."

Steve ignored Aaron's existence, and persuaded Angeli bitterly: "You have to know, the Baker family can't last long, and I'm doing this for your future. Wait, you go follow the column I have to admit my mistake, I believe that with his generosity, he won't care too much about you."

"Lily, even if you and Aaron are powerful knights, you can't compete with the power of the entire Finnish royal family! If you don't agree to Lord Rieder's request, everything will not be so good when Corvo Port really changes hands. solved"

"Are you finished?"

An Geli interrupted Steve's persuasion, and said calmly: "Mr. Steve, you are not for my future, but for your power, right? If I go with Prince Lied, your power will You can also rise with the tide and become the 'big nobleman' of Corvo port, and even get back the title you once lost."

After Steve left the Chino Kingdom, he automatically lost the title of Viscount. Therefore, he can only be regarded as a member of the Leo family, and he does not have any noble title.

Angeli's words were like sharp needles, which made Steve's expression even more awkward, but he didn't give up, trying to argue: "No, I just want to help you"

"Help me get into Ried's bunk? Then what's the difference between me and a whore in a bar?"

Angeli sneered and said, "Actually, with the Leo family's status in Corvo port, it's not like the Baker family and the Finnish royal family have irresolvable conflicts of interest. You just need to declare that I'm married, and you're considered listed." If he wants to attack the Leo family, he also has to be wary of the influence of the aristocratic circle—even the royal family cannot force a married lady to remarry!"

"I don't agree to the other party's conditions, the most is that you can't get the ideal 'title'!"

"Am I right, Mr. Steve?"

Steve suddenly became speechless, and his face was blushing.

Indeed, the current title of the Leo family is in the hands of Steve's sister, Joanna. If Steve wants to inherit the title, he must wait until Joanna dies of old age, or take some "wrong path".

Obviously, Steve chose the latter. Out of consideration for her own family, Joanna also hoped that Angeli could get involved with the Finnish royal family. The other party was more valuable than an official knight (Aaron in their impression) 'too much!
Therefore, they chose to put pressure on An Geli——

Obviously An Geli already had a marriage partner, but she insisted on pushing her to the side of Prince Liede. Fortunately, An Geli had a certain amount of knight strength and managed to escape from Leo Manor.

If An Geli was still a weak woman with no strength to restrain her, she might really be 'forced into prostitution' by them.

No wonder, An Geli didn't give Steve a good look. Whoever this kind of thing happened to, I'm afraid that person would turn his face - unless that person was a green tea bitch who didn't care about himself.

Finally, seeing that he couldn't persuade Angeli anymore, Steve shifted his target to Aaron——

"Aaron, I know you must be uncomfortable."

"However, the Finnish royal family is not a target for official knights to provoke. If you think about it carefully, if An Geli is with you, can Lord Lied let you go?"

Facing his former 'son-in-law', Steve couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, especially his words were hard to say, even unsightly.

However, with Steve's old face of being a nobleman for many years, the embarrassment quickly dissipated, and his tone gradually became "reasonable"——

"I know you are young and energetic, but we have more choices. Sometimes there is no need to hang yourself on a tree."

"As long as you persuade An Geli, I promise to help you find an excellent noble marriage, and the other party will definitely satisfy you."

Obviously, Steve is determined to hug the thigh of the Finnish royal family.

In Steve's eyes, Aaron was just an official knight, not enough to contend against Prince Lied's power, after all, the other party represented the entire Finnish royal family.

At that time, Aaron went to sea to study under the arrangement of Duke Charles. Steve didn't know the real goal of Aaron's going to sea. However, Steve had heard a little about the "mysterious person" and had a vague guess in his heart about the other party's going to sea. reason.

Mystic?
Thinking of this, Steve couldn't help but secretly sneered——

"Just a low-level mystic."

So what if Aaron became a mystic?
How long had he been out of Corvo port?Only three years!
No matter how ignorant Steve was, he also knew that the 'mystics' were also divided into strength and weakness levels, and the lowest level of mystics (such as the single-scared witch) was not as powerful as a knight.

In three years, the opponent has become a low-level mystic at most, not as powerful as his own knight.

So, the more Steve said, the more confident he became——

"Aaron, listen to my persuasion, I promise to find you a good noble marriage again"

Aaron gave Steve a rather disappointed look. In fact, he had already expected the other party's reaction.

After all, Steve made the act of 'abandoning' Aaron back then. If An Geli hadn't rode back to find him later, he might have died at the mouth of wild beasts in the forest.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

Facing the chattering Steve, Aaron sighed in disappointment, turned his head and said to Angeli, "Let's go, Judy's birthday party is about to begin."

"Well, let's celebrate Judy's birthday together."

The two ignored Steve's existence and walked hand in hand to the banquet hall at the end of the lawn.

However, when Aaron passed by Steve's side, he paused for a moment, and said something that he couldn't say back then——

"I won't kill you."

A sentence full of bloody meaning quietly entered Steve's ears, which made him tremble, and hurriedly looked up, but only Aaron's back and a sentence floating in the air were left in his sight. discourse—

"I won't kill you."

"It's just because of An Geli's relationship."
