After all, the Grand Duke wasn't an unreasonable person. From the standpoint of a Wizard, the other party's concerns weren't wrong at all, although they didn't sound very pleasant. If it was purely for the sake of vindication, then the topic would easily deviate to strange places. The Grand Duke had played this kind of negotiation too many times. Of course, he didn't want himself to fall into this trap.
To be fair, he also wanted his granddaughter to go home, and not live in a place he couldn't see.
But the Grand Duke wanted to let a certain Wizard off the hook, but the Wizard refused to let it go and continued: "Besides, the biggest problem for the Lordess to stay is her. Who is she? The master of this family? A guest of this family? An insignificant stranger? A lodging friend? If she's the master of this family, then what am I? If she's a guest of this family, then you've paid too much. Let's not talk about strangers, it's too estranged. A lodging friend is fine, but back to the previous question, is it okay to let an unmarried girl live in a strange Wizard's house for no reason? "
In fact, there was nothing new in this kind of questioning, it just dug deeper into the previous question. So Lin changed the direction and tried to analyze: "There are only two main reasons for a child to shut herself in and be unwilling to come into contact with social situations. … "
Sure enough, starting with such a topic aroused Grand Duke Carvey's interest. His complexion changed slightly, and he pricked up his ears to listen.
"… First, lack of security. Secondly, she was spoiled by her family. The first point should be easy to understand. Because she doesn't feel safe, she feels that she will be threatened as soon as she leaves her small world, so she doesn't want to go out of her closed door. As for the second point, I'll put it this way. If she's a child of a poor family, she doesn't go out to work, and she doesn't have a source of food, then is it possible for her to shut herself in? It's precisely because of the family's doting on her that she doesn't have to do anything, and she doesn't have to worry about lack in life. In this case, if you want to help this child, letting her leave her small world is a very important first step. Then the question is, what does the Grand Duke want to do next? "
"Let the child learn magic." Grand Duke Carvey said in a deep voice.
"Although the order is somewhat reversed, let her have a sense of security first, and then find a way to let her leave her small world. But this is still a very good second step. What do you think, milord? "
With a serious expression, Grand Duke Carvey raised his hand to stop a certain mage from continuing. "Let's find a quiet place to talk." With that, he stood up.
Because the two sides had raised their voices slightly, the entire banquet hall was vaguely at daggers drawn. Now that the Grand Duke was in the mood for a detailed discussion, there was no need for him to threaten his own people. Moreover, it was still unknown whether these threats would be effective against this mage.
However, the Grand Duke had no reason to punish his subordinates for their actions. However, he didn't need them to intimidate him now, so the Grand Duke waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's fine, everyone continue eating. Don't worry, I'm the one paying for it. "
The Duke's Guards laughed, and the banquet hall regained its lively atmosphere. Everyone ate and drank enthusiastically.
The small salon next to the banquet hall was designed according to the layout of a certain someone's small reception room. With the addition of the aristocratic style, this second small reception room was even more luxurious and comfortable. The wine prepared inside was also a high-grade product that couldn't be obtained through commercial means without a certain degree of skill. They were all sent here by that silly grandpa who loved his granddaughter.
However, Lin didn't even touch the things here. He rarely even came to the second small reception room. Since he wanted to avoid being seen by others, he rarely came to the West Wing. Anyway, that lass didn't stay for him, but for his apprentice.
In order to avoid trouble, he also rarely interfered with the affairs of Marchioness Barland and her servants in daily life. Even so, no one dared to provoke him.
After all, when Marchioness Barland wanted to stay, a certain mage had conveniently left behind several female guards from the Black Veil Army of the Guevana Empire. They were proper noble daughters. If he dared to kill the Black Veil Army, a few noble servants were nothing.
In short, this was the first time a certain someone had entered this second small reception room after it was completed. Compared to him, the Marchioness' chief deacon was more familiar with the layout here. Therefore, it was Marchioness Barland's servants who came forward to prepare the after-dinner wine.
Grand Duke Carver wasn't in a hurry. He took a few sips of wine and slowly recovered from his overeating state before asking, "Sir Guebrache, you seem to have a lot of ideas about that child. I can listen to you in detail. "
"Actually, it revolves around the two points I just mentioned and some of the things we can do. Teaching her magic and increasing her sense of security is a very important project in changing her work. As for who teaches and what to learn, of course, it doesn't matter to me. It's just that at this stage, it seems that she's interested in necromancy magic. I don't know if you have a way to find someone who can teach her this kind of magic normally, Grand Duke. Fen is at least a suitable candidate. "
"What kind of magic is she not interested in? Why necromancy magic?" The Grand Duke's tone was puzzled and regretful as he asked himself in a low voice.
"I have some inferences about this, but I don't have any proof. So, Grand Duke, listen to me for the time being. "
Although he didn't expect to get an answer, it didn't mean that this silly grandpa wasn't bothered by these things. So he was still concerned about someone's inferences. "Okay, please speak."
"Maybe she just wants to find a friend. Because she gets along with my apprentice, so she's willing to stay is one example. She learned necromancy without anyone knowing, and the first thing she did was create a dog. From a certain point of view, she's creating a companion for herself. "
"What's so difficult about having companions? If it's someone of the same age, there are plenty of them among my subordinates. Everyone is loyal and absolutely wouldn't dare disobey her, let alone hurt her, "Grand Duke Carver said excitedly. He even began to count on his fingers how many companions he could help his granddaughter find.
However, someone poured cold water on him and said, "Maybe it's because of this that she doesn't want to get along with those people. Because of her status, their behavior is too considerate, or too boring. "
"Isn't that how nobles are? Lower-level nobles exist to serve higher-level nobles. It's the same for the people, "Grand Duke Carver said with conviction.
However, Lin shrugged and said, "About the self-awareness of this noble, sir, don't you think that you should educate your granddaughter yourself and not me? It's obvious that that person doesn't have such self-awareness. I don't think that's my problem. "
The old man couldn't help but sigh.
