(I spent a lot of effort to create the character of Osie. Naturally, there is a big reason behind it. It is not to make up the word count. Just like when I wrote the princess and Knight … … it is not as simple as matching up the supporting characters. It will have a big impact on the future of the Roland Empire.
This is a serialized novel after all. I cannot reveal too much about the future plot. As for the readers of the serialized novel, please be patient. Novels are not as simple as one plus one equals two. The so-called main storyline is a combination of side quests to form the main storyline!)
GOR Chapter 508 "Second Scene"
Osie's voice was very loud due to her anger. But after she finished shouting, she immediately realized what she meant and her face turned red.
What "I was engaged to you"? It was not a suitable topic to talk about now. After all, a girl being engaged to two men. Moreover, the two men were brothers … … this was not something to be proud of.
Osie regretted saying the wrong thing. She could only wait for this hateful Duke of the Tulip Family to mock her.
What will he say? En, he must be very proud! He will definitely say: "Hmph, you blind woman! It is you and your family who looked down on me! You did not expect me to soar to the sky! "
Yes, he should be proud. He has the right to be proud.
However, after waiting for a long time, Osie did not receive any mockery from Du Wei. She looked at Du Wei and found that he had a gentle smile on his face … … his eyes were still so clear and sincere.
He looked very good when he smiled. His eyes were slightly curved and the corners of his eyes were smiling. He looked very amiable.
"You seem very angry … … this matter has been troubling you." Du Wei's voice was even gentler. There was even a trace of apology in it.
"You … …" Osie was speechless.
Du Wei smiled and suddenly pointed outside the fence. There was a bench and several swings in the courtyard of the Imperial Garden: "You are tired from standing. Go and sit."
After saying that, he naturally reached out and pulled Osie's arm. Ao Qian was dragged into the garden by the young man in a daze.
There wasn't much to see in the Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace. After all, Thorn Flowers were planted here, and Thorn Flowers weren't ornamental plants.
However, at this moment, under the cold moon of the Dark Star, the starlight and moonlight sprinkled down, creating a rather peaceful atmosphere.
After pulling Ao Qian to sit down, Du Wei looked at the girl and smiled, "I just learned from your friend that you hate me, even … hate me. Am I right? "
"Yes!" Ao Qian puffed out her chest. "I hate you and your family!"
"I fully understand." Du Wei sighed. Fortunately, Manny had told him a lot when they were dancing. Du Wei understood what kind of situation this girl was living in — it was indeed a bit cruel for a young girl.
"I can apologize, even though I don't think it's my fault." Du Wei shrugged.
Ao Qian was speechless … … She wasn't an unreasonable person. Rationally, she knew that it had nothing to do with Du Wei. But after all, because of this matter, she was treated unfairly, so it was natural for her to develop a sense of disgust towards Duwei.
She prepared to stand up and looked at Du Wei, "You just want to tell me this?"
"No." Du Wei shook his head, but he pressed Ao Qian's shoulder and smiled, "I just want to talk to you. Osiria … … Hmm, can I call you Ao Qian? "
"No!" Ao Qian humphed.
"Alright, Ao Qian." Obviously, Du Wei's face was much thicker than she thought. "You know, my brother will be an adult in a year. At that time, I plan to let you two get married … … In other words, we are going to be a family, so I don't want our relationship to be so stiff. Do you understand? "
After a pause, Du Wei sighed and said sincerely, "I love Gabri very much. He is my only brother. I hope that since we are going to be a family, then we should love each other and live in harmony."
Ao Qian's brain couldn't process what he was saying. Was he trying to be friendly to her?
After Ao Qian became an adult, every time she thought about the first time she met the Duke of the Tulip Family, she would picture all kinds of scenes in her mind. However, there was only one scene: Du Wei mercilessly mocked and humiliated her.
Who told her family to be so blind as to break the engagement?
Such scenes flashed in her mind many times. Even though she had never met Du Wei, Ao Qian had already regarded Du Wei as an "enemy". Therefore, from a psychological point of view, the reason why she acted like a hedgehog in front of Duwei was actually a subconscious act of self-protection to prevent the other party from humiliating her.
This psychology was very subtle, but fortunately, Du Wei could understand it.
"We are not enemies. In the near future, we will be relatives. My brother is one of my closest relatives. He is a smart boy. Our relationship is very good. Therefore, you will be his wife. I hope that our family can be harmonious. " Du Wei looked at the girl with a smile. He could see that the girl was very innocent. "I think we can be friends."
Ao Qian didn't say anything. Du Wei smiled and said, "If you don't say anything, I will take it as a yes."
"Your Grace!" Ao Qian tried to keep a cold face.
"No, call me Du Wei, or call me brother." Du Wei smiled. "You are my family, so you can call me that."
Brother? No way!
But Ao Qian looked at the gentle and elegant young man in front of her and couldn't help but waver.
Brother … She thought of the brothers in her family. Each one of them was a standard playboy. Usually, they would even flirt with their close friends. Even when they were facing their younger sister, they rarely showed any serious expression. Some of her cousins even coveted her beauty since she was young …
In comparison, the guy in front of him who had a gentle smile and what he said just now did sound like an elder brother.
He … didn't seem to be as bad as she thought.
•
Without a doubt, Du Wei was very eloquent and good at communicating with people. He could even lead the conversation. At least, a simple girl like Ao Qian would never be able to win against Du Wei.
In short, Du Wei easily started the conversation and broke the awkward atmosphere. Then he easily tossed out one or two topics that young girls would be interested in and led Ao Qian to talk.
At first, Ao Qian wanted to show her stubbornness. But soon, her defense was broken by Du Wei. Her tone also relaxed a lot. Her words gradually changed from one or two words to one or two sentences, three to five sentences, seven to eight sentences …
Even if she hated Du Wei … Well, at least he was humorous and considerate.
"We are in the castle in Rollin Plain. There is a yard behind it. I made some interesting things there. Oh, the hot air balloon was invented there. Do you like it? I have already given that place to Gabry. He can take you there to play in the future … Do you like to fly in a hot air balloon? Hehe, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. There are several large hot air balloons in the castle. And those fireworks … "
"You mean the fireworks of the Tulip Family?" Ao Qian was tempted.
With the temperament of a teenager, how many half-grown children would not like to set off fireworks?
Du Wei's eyes flashed with a trace of a smile. "Of course! The fireworks were first made in the castle. Now, there is a group of craftsmen there. Many of the fireworks for this new year were transported from the Rollin Plain. Gabry has taken over some of the family's matters … ah, right, I just remembered something. "
Du Wei pretended to have suddenly remembered something. "I almost forgot. Well, for this new year, Gabriel wrote me a letter and prepared a gift for me to pass to you. "
"For me … a new year gift?" Ao Qian suddenly felt a little proud.
Her fiancé had sent her a gift from the distant south during the New Year's Eve …
Could this be considered romantic?
The young girl's heart was instantly filled with fantasies and romantic thoughts.
Seeing this, Du Wei snickered inwardly. Sure enough, young girls always like these things.
However, Gabriel … was indeed too careless. Logically speaking, he was going to be an adult next year. He should have prepared some gifts for his fiancée during this festival.
Unfortunately, he wasn't by his side. He didn't have any brothers by his side to help him with this kind of thing. Because of her father's death, her mother had been depressed. Therefore, she rarely thought about these small things.
"What … what gift?" When Ao Qian said this, her voice was somewhat fervent.
Du Wei spread out his hands. "Sorry, I forgot to bring it tonight. But tomorrow, I can send someone to deliver it to you. Ah … right, are you interested in watching the Martial Arts Tournament? You can go to my box. I will send someone to bring the gift to you. "
Martial Arts Tournament?
Ao Qian was immediately tempted.
How could she not be tempted by this big event that swept the entire imperial capital? Although the martial arts tournament was something that the men liked, for the noble ladies, this tournament wasn't too cruel and bloody. It was lively enough. There were also many young and handsome warriors participating … there were still many things to watch.
But Ao Qian was still vexed. Because … this was all Du Wei's fault! The tickets for the tournament were too expensive!
Of course, this was relative to the nobles on the second and third floors.
A box on the third floor cost a few thousand gold coins! Although her grandfather was the finance minister of the empire, he was a very honest official. Her family didn't have many properties. This was to avoid gossip. Therefore, although their life was good, it wasn't extravagant. For a noble lady like her, her monthly expenses were only a few dozen gold coins.
Not to mention spending a few thousand gold coins to watch a tournament.
Not to mention the VIP box on the third floor, even the seats on the second floor weren't something that Ao Qian could afford. As for her brothers … they spent their days drinking and didn't have any spare money. Her grandfather and father were strict and wouldn't allow them to spend money recklessly.
Usually, when the other girls talked about the tournament, especially the marquis' daughter. Her family had booked a box on the third floor. Although it was far away, it was something she could show off.
Du Wei was very cunning. He immediately saw through the girl's thoughts from her expression. He smiled and said, "How about this, I'll send someone to pick you up for the tournament tomorrow afternoon. You can watch the tournament in my box. Also … I'll be fighting tomorrow."
Humph, it would be best to watch you get beaten up.
Ao Qian thought maliciously. But looking at Du Wei's gentle smile, she suddenly felt embarrassed.
At this time, Du Wei finally stood up …
Bang!
There was a loud sound in the sky!
Then, a dazzling firework suddenly bloomed, followed by countless fireworks that soared into the sky, instantly painting the dark night sky into a grotesque and motley scene.
"New Year's fireworks …" Du Wei laughed, "It's already past midnight?"
Ao Qian raised her head and tried to crane her neck. She was stunned.
"Okay, let's go back. It's very cold here. If you catch a cold, you won't be able to go out tomorrow." Du Wei said and pulled Ao Qian back.
Ao Qian seemed to have let go of her hostility towards Du Wei. But after two steps, she suddenly heard a "chi" sound. Ao Qian suddenly screamed and jumped up with a crying face, "My dress!"
The rose-colored evening dress was caught by a thorn flower on the side of the road. The hard thorns pulled a long hole in the dress. Ao Qian's face was full of annoyance and panic, "My dress … Oh no, what should I do?"
Du Wei smiled and looked at the girl's torn dress. Her calves and knees were exposed. Du Wei smiled and took out a long cloak from his storage ring.
Seeing how Du-Wei's wrist flicked and a cloak appeared out of thin air, Osie was a bit surprised.
"Put it on. Your dress is torn. It's inconvenient." Du Wei smiled.
Ao Qian still looked helpless, "But my dress is torn. I …"
"It's just a dress." Du Wei curled his lips.
"It's not my dress." Ao Qian suddenly hesitated. She looked at Du Wei and said in a low voice, "I borrowed this dress from my cousin … This is my first time attending a royal banquet. I don't have a suitable dress … I … I don't have much pocket money. My cousin likes this dress. I spent a lot of time to borrow it. Now it's ruined … "
As she spoke, she finally voiced her request, "Your Grace …"
"Call me Du Wei or big brother." Du Wei smiled.
Ao Qian hesitated and finally gritted her teeth, "Du Wei, can you help me …"
"Sure, I'll give you a new one." Du Wei smiled casually.
"No, I don't want a dress." Ao Qian shook her head and said, "You … Was that magic? In that case, can you use magic to change this dress back to its original appearance …? "
Du Wei smiled. His smile made Ao Qian angry. She lowered her head and said, "If you can't do it, then forget it …"
"No, my lovely Ao Qian, my future sister-in-law, I need to correct your common sense. Remember, the cost of a magician using magic is much more expensive than a dress! Do you understand? "With that, Du-Wei suddenly squatted down in front of Osie and reached out to pull Osie's skirt.
"Ah! What are you doing! "Ao Qian jumped up in fright.
"Don't move." Duwei didn't care about her. He directly pulled the corner of her skirt and turned it over to look at the place where the needle was sewn. Then he found a small piece of cloth with a few lines of words on it.
"It's done." Du Wei loosened his hand and stood up: "This is an evening dress from last year, red, medium size, I just memorized her style and model. Don't worry, I'll have someone send you an identical red dress tomorrow morning. "
"You …" Ao Qian was stunned. She couldn't help but look at her dress. She didn't know what those words meant, but it seemed that Du Wei knew. What color and style were they?
Could it be …
Seeing Ao Qian staring at him, Du Wei admitted and smiled, "Yes, yes, smart little sister. You guessed right. This dress was made in our family's business. But your cousin's taste is very ordinary … This is a new style from last year. It seems that she hasn't had it yet. That piece of cloth on top is something our tailor sewed on when it's produced. It's our specialty. "
•
When Ao Qian and Du Wei returned to the banquet hall, Manny and the other girls immediately noticed Ao Qian and Du Wei walking together. Ao Qian was even wearing a cloak.
"Oh my god, Ao Qian, where did you go?" Manny ran over with a few other girls behind her. Obviously, they were coming for Du Wei.
Ao Qian opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
"Haha, ladies." Du Wei smiled elegantly, "I just went to discuss some family matters with my brother's fiancee. Oh, including the wedding arrangements for Ao Qian and my brother. Just some family matters. "
Then he suddenly winked at Ao Qian, "Ao Qian, don't forget about the competition tomorrow afternoon. I'll send someone to pick you up … Oh, right, the room is very big. If your friends want to go, they can all sit there. "
Room??
The room for the Martial Arts Competition?
Who didn't know what the private rooms on the third floor of the Martial Arts Tournament meant? Only those who could reach the third floor would be part of the most illustrious and honorable circle in the Empire! And Du Wei's room was right next to the royal room! It was the best room!
"Oh, Ao Qian, can we go together?" Manny was the first to beg.
Osie's expression was a bit complicated. Looking at Du Wei, she hesitated for a bit before whispering, "Oh, yes, of course … …"
The girls all screamed. Then Du Wei winked at Ao Qian and smiled, nodding and leaving.
"Oh my god! He's so charming! " Manny and the other girls looked at Du Wei's back. Then someone immediately turned to Ao Qian and said: "Ao Qian! He's your big brother ah! You have to help us! "
"But he's already married and a magician!" His wife is a magician! "Osie was still dissatisfied with these people's infatuation with Duwei.
"Who cares!" A noble girl looked at Du Wei from afar, "It's not bad to be his lover. He's the most popular person in the empire!"
Ao Qian also looked at Du Wei from afar with a complicated expression … … The feeling of being surrounded by these girls is really good. She had rarely enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by people like the moon surrounded by stars! Although all of this is because of that Du Wei.
But … …
He was indeed a good person and a very good brother.
•
"Finished resolving your family conflict?" Seeing Du Wei coming back, Prince Son curled his lips: "You've been gone for half an hour already."
"I value family harmony very much." Du Wei raises his face into a smile, then he picks up his wine glass and motioned to Prince Son from afar. The Regent also picked up his glass and the two took a sip. Suddenly, Du Wei looked at Prince Son and smiled: "Your Highness, you even know about my family conflict? I really can't think of anything in this world that you don't know. "
Only Du Wei would dare to say such words in front of Prince Son. Prince Son didn't mind it: "You know, as the monarch, there are too many things to control. Sometimes, I have no choice. "
"Then I wish Your Highness good health." Du Wei smiled and drank the wine in his glass.
The two young men who hold the most power in the empire smiled at each other.
•
The next day, the second day after the New Year, the martial arts tournament finally resumed. But in order to take into account the previous night's New Year celebration, this day's competition was scheduled to start in the afternoon.
And today was the day of the second round of the preliminaries.
In the second round of preliminaries, there were nearly four hundred contestants. Once again, they had to draw lots, but this time, they were in groups of four. The rules were the same as the first round. Only one winner from each group could advance.
After the drawing of the lots, a wave of helpless sighs immediately broke out.
The three warriors who were drawn into the same group as Du Wei showed a look of grief and helplessness … …
•
For Osie, it was a wonderful day! Completely different from her previous life, it could even be said that a new page has opened in her life!
In the morning, the Tulip Family sent someone to deliver a big gift to Miss Osie.
This was an expensive wooden box, and inside it was a fist-sized Nanyang pearl. This treasure was worth at least 50,000 gold coins on the market!
Of course, it was given by Du Wei in the name of Gabri.
Along with this gift, there was also a brand new red evening dress, the same as the one Miss Osie wore last night. In addition, there were also a few new evening and winter dresses from the Tulip Family Workshop, as well as a very heroic leather hunting suit for ladies.
"My Lord said that he might invite Miss Osie to go hunting in a few days. He remembered that Miss Osie might not have a new hunting suit, so he sent these."
This gift was personally delivered by little Sandy, who was very eloquent.
Although the Minister of Finance lived a simple life to avoid gossip, he still accepted the gift from his future in-laws.
And then, Miss Osie immediately became the focus of a group of girls in the family. Obviously, a teenage girl enjoyed this feeling very much. This was human nature.
In the afternoon, the surprise became even bigger.
Du Wei sent a carriage to pick up Miss Osie and her friends to watch the competition. And this carriage belongs to the Duke of the Tulip Family!
Du Wei's carriage was famous in the aristocratic circle of the Imperial Capital for being luxurious and extremely eye-catching!
Every single piece of wood was of the best quality. Even the horses used to pull the carriages were the best horses from the grasslands! He was afraid that if such a good horse was sent to the army, only a general would be qualified to use it as a mount. But in Du Wei's carriage … … it was only used to pull the carriage!
The spacious carriage was more than twice the size of an ordinary aristocratic carriage, and the magic array under the wheels made the carriage light and smooth.
The luxurious furnishings in the carriage also made everyone dumbfounded.
This extravagant Du Wei, he actually used magic gems as lighting in the carriage!
As for the velvet cushion … … Miss Osie remembered that her cousin had such a piece at home. It was used as a bedding, and it was not taken out easily. It was only used on important occasions.
But in Du Wei's carriage, it was used on the ground to step on … …
Several Knight's of the Tulip Family rode warhorses to guard the carriage.
Osie was a little uneasy … … She felt that she should not accept too much of Du Wei's kindness.
But Sandy, the little housekeeper, said to her: "Sir said that you do not need to be polite. After all, you are the second young master's wife. It can be said that you are half the future mistress of the family. You are qualified to enjoy everything in the family."
Although there was still some uneasiness in her heart, the envious eyes of the other girls made Osie's heart flutter.
When they arrived at the venue … …
The Tulip Family's carriage was in front, and there were even soldiers from the Public Security Bureau along the road, opening up a path for them to pass through the crowd. Then they went through the VIP passage at the back of the Knight's Association and directly entered the third floor.
When they walked past the Tulip Family's box, a group of girls stared at the surrounding boxes … …
Heavens!
Next door, the ruler of the Empire, the Prince Regent and the little prince Charlie were sitting together in the box! On the right was the box of the Prime Minister's family, but the Prime Minister did not come. Instead, it was Sir Camisillo and his wife. Behind them was the Villa Family, a prominent family … … These are the people who truly control the power of the Empire!
When they saw the famous Tulip Family's business manager, Zuckerberg personally open the door to the box and use an elegant posture to respectfully welcome the ladies in, the group of girls became somewhat uneasy.
Even though Zuckerberg was not a noble, but in fact, everyone knew that he was one of the top five core members of the Tulip Family! In the Imperial Capital, Zuckerberg's status was even higher than many of the nobles! Many of the real big shots would be polite when facing him.
But in this box, Zuckerberg was gentle like a housekeeper: "Honorable ladies, if you have any needs here, please do not hesitate to tell me."
Tell me?
In the Imperial Capital, how many people dare to 'tell' Zuckerberg to do things?
As Zuckerberg walked out of the room, Manny, who was beside him, suddenly shook the absent-minded Osie.
"Osie! Osie! "Manny's face was full of excitement:" We are actually sitting here! Can you believe it? I feel like I'm dreaming! Heavens! The Duke is so good to you! After you marry into the Rowling family, you can officially become a member here! "
"Yes! The Duke is so good to his family … … Sigh, Osie, if only you had continued to marry the Duke. "
It was unknown who suddenly said such a sentence.
Osie's face suddenly changed … …
Manny noticed the change in her good friend's expression and was about to say something when she heard a burst of cheers from below.
"Look! The Duke is coming out!! "
•
Du Wei was the first to walk up the stage with his head held high.
He was very confident in today's match, and … … he wanted to use today's match to wash away the humiliation from the farce of the preliminaries! He wanted to let everyone see his strength and not be treated as a joke!
After all, Du Wei still has a temper. He has been training hard these days. Right now, he was like a child who got an interesting toy and wanted to show it off to others. But the preliminaries from a few days ago made him so angry that he wanted to vomit blood!
But, that won't happen today!
Because today, Du Wei's opponents in this group, his three opponents, were all God Paladin!!
The God of Shrines, Paladin, won't stop fighting with me! Hmph!
Today, let me, Du Wei, show off my skills!!
Thunderous cheers!!
(Tomorrow is the last day of the month, I will explode! Everyone, please vote for me! I will fight for first place this year! To the annual champion, every single monthly ticket was very important! Thank you for your help!!)
