Rhine and Anthony met at the Neuschwanstein Castle of the Defelin family.
In the middle of the rippling blue lake, pure white castle pavilions stand out of the water as calm as a beauty. Rhine and Anthony stood at the highest point of the castle, and the wind blew over the water, bringing a distant noise. A banquet was taking place below the castle, and the young men and women of the nobility were chasing each other and playing wildly. Some of them were only twelve or thirteen years old, but they had already learned to play and enjoy themselves like adults.
Rhine had a slight cold, and was wrapped in a white cloak. His face was a little red due to the fever, and his voice was slightly hoarse, but he was in a good mood. He casually pointed to the young people below and asked: "How is my niece? Sir Anthony, do you still like her?"
In fact, Anthony didn't quite remember what Rhine's biological niece looked like. He only remembered that she was vaguely a little girl who had not lost her baby fat. At this time, I glanced down aimlessly, but I couldn't distinguish her among the many young ladies with wild bodies, so I had no choice but to follow Rhine's example and identify her as one at random.
"Quite lively," he said, "but too young."
"Then change it to another one," Rhine said nonchalantly: "Mr. Defillin has been working hard to get the female slaves pregnant and giving birth, giving my mother many brothers and sisters. Then these brothers and sisters also did the same thing as Mr. Defillin, Everyone gives birth to more offspring. As a result, I have dozens of biological nieces. I have never figured out who they are. It is very troublesome to meet ordinary people and I have to remember their names. Looks.”
He changed his words: "Aren't people who have no energy field characteristics at all the same to you? Being an adult or a minor is not an important matter. It's just an engagement. It's the same no matter who you are. We don't need to waste too much time on it. I think we should end this as soon as possible."
"Do you also think that marriage is necessary, Lord Rhine?" Anthony smiled bitterly, "Then why does it have to be your niece? Since it is the same. If marriage is to be said, it is not that the Defelin family has grown up and is close to you by blood. women——"
"I don't think marriage is a very important matter, although Mr. Defelin has been very noisy. It doesn't really matter whether you are engaged to my niece or not. Sir Anthony, I don't need you to express your position in this way. Actions are far more useful than an empty engagement." Rhine interrupted Anthony, and he turned to look in another direction, "But I found that my sister seems to have fallen in love with you."
Anthony followed Rhine's line of sight and looked towards the hanging garden, where Anne Defelin's figure was looming among the flowers. So he said: "Miss Anne is very gentle and beautiful. Even without the energy field, she is impressive."
Rhine frowned slightly: "Many people are deeply impressed by my sister."
"I know you very well, Sir Anthony. We are all the same. I know you as well as I know myself. I had many more kisses than you did before I finally broke through." He shook his hair slightly, as if to shake someone off. This disgusting thing is shaken from the memory, and the cloak is wrapped tighter. He seemed to be disgusted with such a conversation, but he had to continue, so he forced himself to be pleasant.
He said: "You need support and friendship to build your own strength. Maybe you also need a ready-made family name. Under this premise, it doesn't make any difference to you what kind of fiancée you are. And Mr. Defillin obviously also covets you." . He needs you to carry the gene fragments with ultimate potential in your body, which can satisfy his obsession with having endless offspring as a fertility maniac. He also needs you to enrich the Defelin family's showroom, which can ensure that in my After death, the Defelin family will remain prosperous. You each get what you need, and the marriage is a match made in heaven. All you need to do is sacrifice a lady who bears the title of Defelin and has the same blood as mine as cannon fodder. "
"I'm not against marriage," Rhine looked at Anthony, "but I don't want my sister to be the victim of family marriage and politics."
Anthony was very surprised, as if he knew this for the first time: "It turns out that you object to me being with your sister. This is really surprising. I remember that the person who pushed open the door and broke into your garden that day was indeed Anne."
"That was just an accident. The person who should pay for it has already paid for it." There was some anger on Rhine's face, which was stunning when matched with his face that was flushed due to fever.
"You have just arrived at Lighthouse Planet, Sir Anthony. I don't think you understand yet," he couldn't help but bring out some mean and willful sarcasm in his tone. "When you stay in the Acropolis for a long time, you will find that the so-called family means that there are always people Dare to make your own decisions, there are always some things you will know last.”
"This is so unexpected, completely different from what I imagined." Anthony took a breath and said thoughtfully: "I think I should reconsider. Maybe I am not so urgent and need a family name immediately. , through such a marriage as you mentioned." He smiled bitterly: "I don't want to hide it, it feels very bad to be played with. It's just that Anne - "
"It doesn't matter. I said that marriage is not important. What is important is your position and actions. If you don't want to be engaged to my niece, then you don't have to engage in it." Rhine interrupted him and said, "You should be compensated, Mr. Anthony, we All should be compensated. If you have no intention of marrying with other families and taking their names, then you don’t have to marry with the Defelin family. Mr. Defelin should be patient and wait for my nieces to grow up. I will issue an order to Him. The only trouble is that my sister seems to be in love with you—"
"This is bad, she is attracted to you, you should not have approached her in the first place and made her like you! Fortunately she went to the auction yesterday..."
"This doesn't seem to be my fault, Lord Rhine."
"I know, but it's just as bad." Rhine frowned his beautiful eyebrows. "If my sister asked me to get engaged to you, I would be very embarrassed. It is impossible for me to refuse my sister, let alone force her to leave you and put her away. If she locks her up, that will make her sad and angry with me, and she may never even see me again.”
"So, Sir Anthony," Rhine looked at him, his eyes sharp and thrilling, "you must leave my sister and find a way to make her hate you."
"If you don't want to dispel my sister's idea of being engaged to you by marrying my niece, then you have to find a way on your own. Do something cruel to prove that you are a beast, or simply find a few mistresses - It would also be a good idea to get your ex-mistress back from David Duran."
Anthony was surprised: "What did you say?"
"Take your ex-mistress back from David Duran. You heard me right. Is it any wonder? He can take it away from you, and of course you can take it back from him."
Rhine smiled. She was so beautiful that it seemed as if even the stars had lost their luster.
"Haven't you realized, Mr. Anthony? The competition between potential candidates has always been all-round. There are still some idiots in the temple who have illusions about David Duran, wishful thinking that he still exists and will fall to us. It is possible, so we can fight for it. It is true that David Duran chose to support us in this incident, but those idiots who are passionate about it will probably never be able to figure it out with their shoddy brain capacity. David Duran Whether Lan supports us or not has nothing to do with his actual position."
"——Of course, you don't need to worry about what these idiots think yet. You just need to understand that conservation of energy is the first law of the universe. The Milky Way is so big, and there are many resources to support it, and there are many resources that can be used to support you. It will inevitably decrease.”
"You, and David Duran, will have a lifelong rivalry between you, until one of you falls, just like Maximilian and I. You must seize every opportunity to weaken him and attack him, Do everything you can to make him fall before you do, because if you don't, you will be the one who is weakened, hit, and falls early. Competition, this is the entire essence of the political ecology of the Temple Era, and you will soon adapt to it. of."
Anthony was silent for a long time, and then suddenly laughed.
“I don’t know if it’s because I was taken away, but I still can’t let go of my complete love,” he said. “Maybe this is love.”
"Hanhan, is that the name of your ex-mistress?" Rhine nodded, "It sounds pretty good, like an unusual mistress."
"Ah, now that I have said this, I have a gift for you." Anthony put down his wine glass and called the servant.
Rhine was very surprised: "A gift? What is it."
After a while, the footmen brought in Anthony's gift, which was a tray half as tall as a man and covered with a velvet cover. Anthony went over and pulled off the cover. A thin man with a gloomy face was sitting on his knees on the giant tray. He was clearly the eunuch who followed Emperor Seifert XI of Ogra at the Earth Chamber of Commerce when the assassination occurred on New Year's Eve. Chamberlain.
Anthony grabbed the eunuch by the back of his neck and lifted him up, like a dog, and brought him to Rhine with his own hands.
"I picked it up outside Yingxing on New Year's Day. It seems that there is a seventh-level hypnotic superpower. I heard that he is the secret guard of Emperor Ogra." He said, "He insists that he is yours, sir. So after thinking about it, I brought him over to the adults."
Rhine dismissed it: "It's just a domestic slave with the third surname, something as dirty as the sludge in the sewer."
"There is no need to return it to me," he said, "You can keep it as my command. He has served as Critikus's personal guard and is very familiar with Critikus's sect and the situation in Ogra. You want Recovering Posis and keeping him should be useful.”
Seeing Anthony's puzzled expression, Rhine further explained: "He was originally a guard of the Sect Master Ogra. After the war, he was sent by Critikus's attendant Shamanda to protect the new emperor. But later the emperor and Shamanda They turned against each other, probably thinking that Critikus was dead, so he simply surrendered to the emperor. The emperor had not been able to find a new protector for a long time, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he secretly swore allegiance to me. "
Anthony looked at the eunuch who was lying on the ground obediently and did not dare to move, and said "Oh": "I see, thank you so much, sir..."
