Chapter 18 The Duke
"Stop it all!"
The roar of majesty and anger came before him. No one in the small courtyard dared to make any moves, as if the entire space was forcibly forbidden.
Following the source of the sound, Ye Piao finally discovered the source of the sound.
He was wearing a mighty military uniform, as if he had just finished a military meeting. He was tall, strong body, and dazzling blonde hair with a slightly bent head, and with his majestic face, he was striking in from the gate of the courtyard with a angrily strode.
A hint of panic flashed in Princess Fena's eyes, but she quickly calmed down, took two steps forward quickly, and said with a smile: "Leot, my husband, why are you here? Don't you like to come in this place!"
The Duke in military uniform looked at his wife Princess Fena with cold eyes, and snorted coldly, his voice full of anger: "If I don't show up here, then do you want to order the killing of the Santers family's bloodline? Usually I can indulge you in anything, because you are the Kingdom Princess, the mother of Vulrowen. Even ten years ago, I acquiesced your behavior!"
After a pause, the Duke calmed down his anger and continued: "But, for so many years, you have not added another child to the family. I am gradually getting older. One day in the future, Florian will inherit my position. Once the war breaks out, Florian, as the commander, will definitely lead troops to the front line. If my only son is in an accident, then what will our Santers family face? As a princess, you should be very clear! And now, you actually want to kill the lost bloodline of the Santers family. What do you want to do? Do you want the Santers family to be completely destroyed in your hands?"
Duke Leott's voice became louder and louder, and his tone became more and more severe. In the end, he even burst out with a faint fighting spirit without even being controlled!
Facing the Duke's accusation, Princess Fena felt fear that she had never felt before.
Since the day he married into the Santers family from the palace, Duke Leott has been very fond of him and will tolerate almost everything. Even the thing ten years ago was as he wished.
Facing Leot, the princess had never seen her husband get so angry and speak so harshly to herself.
In a mess, Princess Fena suddenly remembered what her brother, His Majesty King Sauron, told her before her marriage!
"Fena, my sister, after you marry into the Santers family, Leot will definitely treat you well, and you can control most of his opinions! However, if things are related to the bloodline or interests of the Santers family, I don't want you to interfere or oppose it! Some things you should never touch! You may not fully understand what I say, but I hope that when certain moments come, you don't anger Leot. Your only mission in the family is to give birth to as much bloodline as possible for the Santers family. You must remember what I said, otherwise even if you are the princess, I will find someone else to replace you!"
The cold words seemed to be still ringing in my ears, and when I think of what my brother said, Princess Fena shivered all over.
Never dared to refute the Duke's words anymore, Princess Fena stood beside the Duke in silence.
Duke Leot looked around for a week, and his cold eyes finally stopped on Ye Piao's body, and carefully looked at the boy who might be his bloodline.
The bronze skin, a slightly thin but toned body that is like a leopard, has loose shoulder-length black hair, slightly upturned corners of the mouth, and combined with the eyes like black gems, it seems that it will naturally attract everyone's attention.
From Ye Piao's eyebrows, Duke Leot seemed to see his shadow when he was young. Looking at Ye Piao's loose and flowing black hair, the Duke felt a little more convinced. After all, Ye Piao's mother also had a rare black hair on the mainland.
While looking at the duke, Ye Piao only felt that the duke's eyes were not looking at his own flesh and blood. There was no trace of family affection in his cold eyes, just like looking at a tool that could bring great benefits to him. The lion on Ye Piao's shoulder was directly ignored by the duke.
This was the first time that the Duke saw Ye Piao. Since he had been cruel and acquiesced to Princess Fena to kill Ye Piao, he naturally would not have any feelings for Ye Piao. The reason why he recognized Ye Piao's identity was that Ye Piao guessed that he wanted to leave a living seed machine for the Santers family!
Ye Piao’s guess was completely correct. Duke Leott really thought so now!
Turning back, Duke Leot's eyes slowly moved toward the family warrior standing behind him. His tone of speaking was like snow in the cold winter, full of chill: "I don't want anyone other than you to know about today's affairs. In the future, everyone is not allowed to step into this yard without my orders. Now, get out!"
Looking at the family warrior who was retreating quickly, Ye Piao turned his gaze to Princess Fena who was standing beside the duke, and his tone of speaking was as cold as the duke: "What are the princesses still here to do? I think the matter here only needs the Duke to deal with it alone, not two people."
Listening to Ye Piao's unceremonious words, Princess Fena was about to strike back when she was interrupted by her husband beside her.
Duke Leot did not blame Ye Piao for being disrespectful, but turned around and said lightly to the princess: "You go back first, I'm here!"
He glared at Ye Piao fiercely, and the princess left the courtyard helplessly, leaving the courtyard to only five people inside!
Fangli did not quit with the warrior, because everything here has been taken care of by this pure and kind little girl recently, including the food, clothing, and daily life of the little lady Lucia in the house.
Except for Fangli and Lucia, who was seriously ill in the house, only Ye Piao, Felster and Duke Leot, who had just drunk the warrior.
The duke looked at Fangli, who was still staring at the side. The little girl was quite frowned and didn't speak hard. She just said to her lightly: "Fangli, go in and take care of Lucia first!"
The simple little girl said "ah" as if she had remembered something important. She even forgot to answer the Duke's words and quickly trotted into the hut!
Facing Felster, the Duke's powerful aura always steadily suppressed Felster, who was an eighth-level strong man, and asked: "Are you sure this child the blood of the Santers family you abandoned on the prairie back then? I hope to get a positive answer, you know the end of deceiving me!"
Before Felster spoke, Ye Piao sneered disdainfully: "I don't think my blood is so noble, nor do I want to be a member of the Santers family. If Felster had not confirmed my identity with the "Guardian of the Sea God" and I want to see my biological mother for the last time, I would not have returned to this place full of cruelty and coldness."
In Felster's eyes looking at the Duke worriedly, the Duke just asked lightly: "Felster. Is that true? If you can really use the 'Guardian of the Sea God', it will be her bloodline. Very good!"
After pausing, a cold light shot out from the duke's eyes, looking directly at Ye Piao: "Your tone of speaking and calmness in encountering things are not like a ten-year-old child!"
Without avoiding the Duke's gaze, Ye Piao clenched his hands into fists and said in a cold voice: "If you survived on the prairie for ten years at my age, you would not be surprised how I performed today!"
Looking at Ye Piao calmly, a slight change suddenly appeared in the duke's eyes, as if admiration and regretful, and murmured in his heart: "This child can live alone in the grassland for ten years, which is enough to prove that he is very outstanding. Unfortunately, he has missed the best opportunity to learn martial arts and magic. He is destined not to become a peak powerhouse in this life. Otherwise, alas, alas--a pity! This child is destined to be able to continue his bloodline for the family!"
Of course Ye Piao wouldn't know what Duke Leot was thinking, but Ye Piao had more important things to do now.
With his eyes staring at the Duke, the cold words that Ye Piao spit out of his mouth interrupted the Duke's thoughts!
"Can I go see my mother? Lord Duke!"
Without blaming Ye Piao for being disrespectful to him, the duke nodded slowly and said slowly to Ye Piao: "If you want to go, go! But after you have seen your mother, you must stay in the family and obey my arrangements from now on, otherwise, you and your mother's subordinates will be severely punished!"
With an irresistible voice, Duke Leot strode out of the small courtyard.
After seeing the Duke away with complicated eyes, Ye Piao and Felster almost ran into this small house. In this small, which could be said to be simple and narrow, Ye Piao met this strange mother in another world for the first time!
Looking at the strange woman lying on the bed at this time, Ye Piao suddenly shouted angrily in a voice full of pain!
"Is this my mother? How could this happen!"
