Law of the Devil Chapter 347: [Raymond’s decision]
Chapter 347 [Raymond's Decision]
The carriage is on its way to Cote d'Azur. Du Wei was sitting in the carriage. Opposite him, there was also a respectful middle-aged man. This man was in a gorgeous robe with a golden belt around his waist, which was obviously a noble dress, but his skin color But it is a little dark, and it is quite burly, and the finger knuckles are a bit thick, which are all shameless by the orthodox and proud nobles. For a truly proud aristocrat, what he dreamed of was a pale complexion and that slender figure.
And this guy ... looks a little rude.
This person is not someone else, but a nephew of the old Minister of Finance of the Roland Empire, Munes, who also served in the army, and was later transferred to the Imperial Supervision Office as a deputy commander, and a baron's Title.
Don donating 50 million gold coins for military expenses, Du Wei was granted a pardon order from the Rowlings. This time, he went south and went to his hometown in the Plains of Plains to announce this big event himself.
This fellow, who is an official of the Empire Supervision Office, is the one ordered by the Regent to convey the pardon order.
... Actually, the reason why this person was sent to the Rollin Plain with Dewey also had another meaning. This guy is the nephew of the Minister of Finance Munez, and the Rowlings have a marriage contract with the Minister of Finance ’s family. Du Wei ’s younger brother and the finance minister ’s young granddaughter have signed a marriage contract early on. No one mentioned the original thing again. If the Rowlings had no hope of resurgence, then this marriage contract would probably be invalidated, after all. The members of the Luo Lin family are not fools. They will not think that their families have collapsed, and they can marry the granddaughter of the imperial finance minister.
The relationship between the two has gradually faded. But this time the pardon order signed by the Regent himself, the Rowling family has hopes of resurgence. Although the political life of Earl Raymond has ended, because the pardon order signed by the Regent only agreed to restore the title of the Rowling family, while allowing The Rollings decide for themselves the successor of the next Earl. but. Count Raymond's official position has not been restored, and even his unrestricted appointment has no place. After all, he used to be one of the coup leaders. It is impossible to forgive such a serious crime. Otherwise, wouldn't the regent strike himself?
Although Old Raymond is unlikely to return to the mountain, Gabriel is young. But everyone is optimistic! This little guy who has been known as a genius since he was a kid in the imperial capital was originally very clever, and now he has received the news that the Rolling family title is restored ... not to mention, he also has an elder brother who is now the reddish tulip! In the future, when this little guy is an adult, the career path can be said to be bright!
In this case. Repairing the relationship with the Rowlings has become a top priority for the Minister of Finance Munes. This time his nephew went to the Rowling Plains with Dewey. On the one hand, a pardon order was issued in the official capacity of the Imperial Supervision Agency. Another important thing is to use the goodwill representative of the Chancellor of the Exchequer family to restore the relationship with the Rollin family. At the same time, we are preparing to revisit the old thing. I hope that the marriage agreement between the two will be maintained, and I will also see the little Gabriel in person. Lord Earl of Rollin's Family, see if this little guy is still so good ...
The carriage went all the way south, urged by Dewey's reconciliation. Running all the way, the nephew of the finance minister nearby also cooperated very well and did not make any comments.
Du Wei has a good impression on this guy. This guy once served in the Empire's army. It is not the kind of aristocratic nobleman, but rather a bit of manliness. Although he has been working hard all the way, he has not revealed any slight dissatisfaction . Talk and do things. Behaving in words and deeds is fairly straightforward.
Finally this day. Reaching the Emerald River, which is the Rollin River, Du Wei knew that by crossing this river, he officially entered the Rollin Plain. He couldn't help recalling the scene when the accompanying cavalry of the Rollin family clawed and chanted "Going Home" when he came here for the first time.
Home ... Here it should be your own home.
"Dagong, after crossing the river, you are in the territory of the Luo Lin family." The guest in the carriage asked with a smile.
Dou Wei nodded, but politely said, "Baron Popular Science, now here is not the Rollin Plain, but Cote Province."
Science smiled: "It's not the same. You're very kind. After this pardon order was issued, it will be the Rolling Plain again." After a pause, he said: "Before I come , My uncle, Lord Munes, also told me that the land of the Rollin Plain is fertile and the scenery is very good. With such a territory, why are the Rollin family not worried about prosperity?
Du Wei knew that this guy was ordered to repair the relationship. After listening to his compliments, he didn't say anything, just smiled.
I continued on my way. On the fifth day of my journey, I arrived at the castle of the Rollin family where Dewey lived for a year.
However, the private army guard barracks originally stationed at the Rollin family outside the castle was removed long ago. The carriage came all the way to the castle on the road, and there were no guards from the Rollin family to greet them. The surrounding looked very quiet. , Even in the past ...
Well, I remember when I was there. At this time, there are many soldiers on vacation on the grass beside the road.
Rodriguez's voice came out at this time: "Master, we are here."
Du Wei opened the window and looked at the towering Rolling family castle and the high tower ... sighed.
Mother, I still haven't let you down, the Rowlings ... have finally been restored by me!
The carriage team entered the castle, and it was still the old housekeeper Hill who came out to meet him. After Dewey jumped out of the car, the old housekeeper's face also seemed a little excited. Dewey had already taken the advance knight along the way and arrived. They must have known about the return.
Sure enough, just after the old housekeeper salutes the young master, he hears a happy surprise coming from the gate of the castle: "Brother !!!"
Then a young boy rushed out, and flew onto Du Wei. Du Weihaha smiled. He hugs his brother hard, and pulls him away to take a closer look.
I haven't seen you in the last two years. This younger brother seems to have grown up a lot. His body is getting stronger and stronger, but at the moment he is wearing a white ground samurai practice suit, and a short sword is worn around his waist. It seems that he has quite a bit of the temperament of the heir to the Luo Lin Wuxun family.
Du Wei knows that this is not the place where the old days are described, and introduces the popular baron of science, and then looks inside: "What about mother?"
Gabry's eyebrows showed a little anxiety: "Where's my mother in the room ... My father hasn't been very well lately. My mother is with him in the room. Also, the mother was going to come down to see you, but because a noble guest came , The mother said that she was an internal dependent and it was not convenient to come out to greet the guests, which was rude.
Gabri then coughed and stood up. To the Baron of Science: "Is this the Science Popular of the Imperial Supervision Department? I know what you are doing. I'm just sorry, my father is sick and can't come down to meet you."
Isn't my body well? Du Wei frowned slightly, then he was kind to Science. "Baron Popular Science, I'm sorry. In this case, please go with me to see my father in the room. The pardon order will be read out in the room."
Science does not care about these, and nodded quickly and agreed.
Afterwards, Dewey and Popular Science, led by Gabriel, entered the castle and reached the master bedroom upstairs.
As soon as the door was opened, Du Wei heard a heavy cough coming from the room. This voice made Du Wei jump into his father's heart, as if he was not ill.
Push in the door and see a large bed in the middle of the room. Elder Raymond was lying there. His original burly body seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and it looked like an old skinny lion. His complexion was no longer rosy. It looks very yellow, and the eye sockets are deeply recessed. Even the glamorous eyes used to look a little muddy ...
Du Wei looked in his eyes and couldn't help but feel a bit bitter: Father, how old is he?
It seems that he was dismissed from all official positions and lost his ancestral titles and territories. Although his father was lucky and did not die, he returned to his hometown, but he must have reproached himself in his heart! As the patriarch of the Luo Lin family, the Luo Lin family ruined the father in his generation, taking the family as their own responsibility. It must be very painful in the past two years. The famous empire of the empire once became a weak sick man ...
The countess was standing by the bed. In Dewey's eyes, the mother was still beautiful. Although her eyes had already been wrinkled, time had gradually invaded her beauty. However, she had light makeup. Wrap, just standing there so quietly, looking into his own eyes, the tenderness and tenderness that filled him, but Du Wei's heart immediately became hot.
He took a deep breath, strode into the room, and then knelt down on the bed with one knee: "Father! Mother! I'm back!"
The countess had a deep love on her face, walked up, gently hugged her son's head, and slender fingers gently touched Dewey's hair without talking, just so quietly Looking at his son.
Earl Raymond on the bed, struggling to sit up, looking at his son kneeling in front of the bed, he coughed a few times, but sighed, and whispered: "Du Wei ... You have worked hard for two years It's over. "
Then Baron Popular Science came in, and after seeing the two, just before the count of Raymond, read the pardon order signed by the Regent.
After reading, the countenance of Elder Raymond's eyes suddenly exploded! At this moment, he seemed to be restored to the famous empire of the former military expeditionary land. He took a deep breath: "Unexpectedly, my Rowling family has a day to come back!" He looked at his eldest son. , Whispered: "Du Wei! Thank you! Otherwise, the Rowling family really died in my hands, even if I die, I can't forgive myself!"
The Baron Popular Science smiled: "Raymond ... you and I have also known each other, this time, but the credit of the Duke of Tulip! Speaking of them, you and I are world friends, this time I come, also bring Here is my uncle's greeting. "
Earl Raymond smiled: "Well, Baron Popular Science, please convey my gratitude to Lord Munes."
Popular science also said: "It's just a pity, old friend. You ca n’t recover your official rank. I think you can understand that. The regent has restored the rank of the Rowlings. This time, in addition to issuing a pardon order, And one more thing, regarding the attribution of the earl of the Rowlings, please decide the heir of the title, when I go back to the land. I will take it back to report to the Lord Regent and the royal clan ... After all, the Rowling family , Can also be regarded as a vein of the royal lineage. "
Heir? Who else besides Little Gabrielle? This is just a cutscene.
Old Raymond smiled, and then he was kind to ask the special envoy to rest in the finest guest room.
When the family of four was left in the room, Earl Raymond's face had a heavy expression on his face: "Du Wei, this is an decree. You didn't need to come. Since you are back Now, there must be other important things? "
Dou Wei nodded, his expression was never easy: "Father ... it is important, um, I am back this time. On the one hand, I am here for a pardon order, on the other hand, I am seeking Family support! After my brother became Earl, I need the full support of the Rollin family! And the family's private army ... "
He's not finished yet. Count Raymond suddenly smiled and cut off: "Well, these things, don't talk about it now. Dewey, I'm weak, I need to take a break, what's up, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Du Wei gave a stun. Then smiled and nodded: "Okay, father, then I'm tonight ..."
He originally said he would go back to the room to rest tonight. But before he finished, Count Raymond suddenly said, "No, you can't go back to bed to sleep tonight!"
"You sleep in the study tonight!" Count Raymond looked at his son, his eyes flickered and he said, "This is our tradition!"
Transfer ... tradition?
Du Wei can't help feeling weird. Tradition is right ... but. I am no longer the heir to the Rowlings!
But looking at his father in the hospital bed, Du Wei didn't raise any objections. But obediently went out. The old butler, Hill, is ready for everything.
Tonight, Dewey still sleeps in the castle's study.
Count Raymond left Gabriel in the room.
He looked at his younger son, and his face suddenly felt guilty: "Gabri, would you be dissatisfied with my decision?"
Gabri's face was young, but he was resolute: "No, father, I think all your decisions are correct."
"You are very smart. My son." Count Raymond suddenly reached out and called the younger son to the bed, and gently stroked his face: "But I don't think you can lead the family to glory. The decision is still: You inherit my earl. But ... the position of patriarch, I decided to let Du Wei take over! "
Gabri doesn't have any objections. From the perspective of young Gabri, it is only natural to follow his brother.
"My body, I know very well, I can't live long." Old Raymond smiled as if by his side, his wife, the pain in his eyes. Old Raymond gently held his wife's hand, then looked down at the younger son: "Gabri, remember me, don't forget it forever, remember forever!"
"... Father, what?"
"Your brother!" Old Raymondi's tone was more serious than ever: "Follow him! Follow him all his life, be by his side, be loyal to him!"
Du Wei returned to this astonishingly large study room. He valued the circle of tall bookcases around the room and looked at the oil paintings on the walls. He was here and found Semel.
I'm going to live in the study again tonight ... But my father just said.
Tradition ... The tradition of the Rollin family is that only the patriarch or heir, when returning to the castle, must live in the study room the first night. (This tradition was introduced earlier in this book).
But myself ... now, in terms of name and identity, they are not considered to be members of the Luo Lin family.
In the study, the servants have already delivered food and water. When the door is closed, only Dewey is left.
When I lived here alone, I was still a master who had no power or power and lost his favor. But now that he is a successful duke, he can summon tens of thousands of people to die for himself in just one sentence!
Looking at the oil painting on the wall, Du Wei suddenly smiled.
"Here, but the beginning of my series of adventures! I don't know if there will be any interesting things tonight ..."
