It had been nearly 900 years since the end of the First Magic War and this seemed to prove once again that nothing was immortal in the long river of time. Even the once prominent families couldn't escape the fate of destruction, let alone the ordinary people. Most of the descendants of the fallen soldiers couldn't be found, so the cemetery seemed a little deserted. However, those who rested here were all heroes who fought for the continuation of the human race. The city council would allocate funds to maintain their graves every year, so it wasn't desolate at all. On the contrary, just like what Caesar said, the scenery here was beautiful.
The young man walked up to a tombstone and pointed at the string of names on it. "Buried here is the sixth patriarch of our Andrea Family, Lucas David Andrea. He was also Roland's favorite student back then. During the Battle of Helm Canyon, he single-handedly dragged out an entire Orc platoon and bought precious time for the Sixth Infantry Regiment to surround the main Orc army. In the end, they achieved the famous victory at Helm Canyon. After this battle, Lucas was conferred the title of Earl by the Southern Alliance. That was when our Andrea Family began to rise. Only a few people know that Lucas was just a baron before this."
"So what are you trying to say?"
Caesar's gaze turned passionate. "Haven't you realized that fate can be changed? But the premise is that we must seize every opportunity before us and not let it slip through our fingers. Since Lucas could do it back then, there's no reason why we can't do it now. Who says that the shadow heir is destined to be a stepping stone for others? I want to become stronger and control my own fate. I want to make all those who ignore me pay the price. "
Lolo knitted her brows. "Is that so? Then I wish you the best of luck. But what does this have to do with me? And how did you know my identity? " The words that Caesar had whispered in her ear were none other than her full name. That was why the girl had agreed to his invitation to come here with him and patiently listened to what he had to say.
"Of course it has something to do with me because what's happening right now is an opportunity that can change our fate. I don't think it's just a coincidence that we met." Caesar placed his left hand on his chest and bowed deeply to the girl. "First of all, I would like to ask Miss Hartfilia to forgive my rudeness. If I had recognized your identity earlier, I would never have done those things to you. Some time ago, the news of the marriage between the Ferdinand Family and the Bretton Family spread like wildfire, and everyone knew that you had come to Gudilesi alone. Most of them thought that you would study in one of the famous swordsman academies. After all, the blood of swordsmen flows in the Bretton Family's veins. But when I heard the news, the first person I thought of was you."
"Of course, after that, I did some investigation on you. The sword you brought with you when you enrolled in the academy was an Elven Sword, right? It's rare to see such a thing in an ordinary noble's family, let alone a commoner. Also, some of the behaviors that you occasionally revealed showed that you've received a high level of etiquette education. As a noble, I definitely wouldn't be wrong about that. However, it seems that what the Bretton Family said isn't entirely true. You don't look like you're here to study in Gudilesi. Instead, you look like you've sneaked out of your home after breaking up with your family. Besides, you don't seem to like Young Master Mograine of the Ferdinand Family very much, so I thought that maybe I can help you in this matter."
"Oh, how are you going to help me?"
"Perhaps you can try … to marry me." Based on the background of Andrea Family in the south, we don't need to show too much respect to Ferdinand Family in case of a conflict. Look at this story — — the head of Bretton Family fell in love with a young master of Andrea Family when he was studying in Gudilesi. They committed to each other privately. Therefore, she could only resist bravely facing the fiancé that her family chose for her … You don't need to worry about the rest. Just leave it to me. This is Gudilesi, one of the most open cities in the south. The public opinion will favor us who love freely. Additionally, Andrea Family and Bretton Family are well-matched. If you finally choose to marry me, your uncle won't be able to find too much fault. You don't even need to show up in the process. After that, we can go our separate ways at any time. You won't suffer any loss. "
"What about you? Why are you doing this?"
"Of course, I'm not doing this for free. I can get a lot of benefits from it. The most intuitive one is fame, which is also what I lack most urgently now. In the eyes of commoners, I'm a young master with noble bloodline; however, in the eyes of the big shots, I'm just a nobody. Previously, when the successors of the big families in the south held banquets in the Earl's Mansion, I didn't even get any invitation. However, once I marry you, I'll be involved with the Ferdinand Family. By then, I'll become a household name from an unknown person. I'm so excited when I think about it. In this way, my family will definitely pay more attention to me in the future."
Caesar's attitude was very sincere as he did not intend to hide this part of the content. "Besides, I can also exert pressure on the family with your identity and take the initiative. At least, when considering the next successor of the family, I can stand on the same starting line as other competitors. In a fair competition, I'm confident that I won't lose to anyone.
