Aubry realized that he had been too optimistic.
He had thought that Elsa, who had inherited the Forier bloodline, would be very outstanding, but he had forgotten the most important thing.
Elsa had grown up in Ellington. Other than Abedon and Clairat, no one could teach her how to be an elegant noble.
Coincidentally, Clairat had become very weak after giving birth to Elsa, and Abedon had not been a good father either. He had basically let Elsa grow up on her own, which resulted in Elsa … being very naive and sweet, with a strange amount of strength …
"Alright! I'll just say it! "
Aubry took a deep breath and said with a straight face, "The bloodsoul stone is with your grandmother now."
Parola pulled out the blood soul stone pendant from his clothes and shook it. It was a sparkling and translucent gem, as if it was condensed from blood. However, it was different from a ruby. This gem was filled with a very powerful energy.
Tang En instinctively identified it, and then suddenly understood.
Bloodsoul Stone: Legendary accessory, limited by the Forier bloodline. Constitution + 400, Strength + 400, HP recovery speed increased by 400%, Armor increased by 25%. Nisclare's Protection: Immune to death once a day. Automatically triggered when near death. Health and mana pool are fully restored.
It was indeed a good item!
Immune to death once a day. It was tailor-made for Warriors who often charged into battle!
Although it was only a Legendary accessory, it was even more precious than a treasure or a divine artifact to those who truly needed it.
After a pause, Aubry continued, "The bloodsoul stone is the heirloom of the Forier family. Only those who have inherited the title and status of the family head can obtain the bloodsoul stone. Your father came to me for the stone, but because he gave up on his responsibility, I rejected him."
"In other words," Aubry stared at Elsa, "if you want the bloodsoul stone, you have to take on your father's burden and take on the responsibility that you should bear."
Elsa was confused. "What do you mean?"
Aubry almost coughed up blood. He had said it so clearly, but she still did not understand?
"… It means that you have to inherit everything of the Forier family!"
Aubry said loudly. "This family is the pillar of the Irus Empire. We cannot fall. This family must have an heir. As long as we are here, the empire will not fall!"
"But, but …"
Elsa looked troubled. "I don't know anything. I'm just the captain of Ellington's guard."
"Captain?"
Aubrey suddenly glared at Tang En. "How dare you make me, a descendant of the House of Foyer, your guard captain?!"
Tang En pretended not to see him, and squatted down to tease Elijah.
"I don't care what you do in Ellington. Now that you're back, you have to draw a line with that place!"
Aubry waved his hand. "I'll find you the best teacher to teach you the basic etiquette of nobility. At the same time, I'll arrange for you to enter the Irus Royal Military Academy. I can still hold on for a few more years. When you graduate, you can take over my position."
"Eh? Eh?! "
Elsa was dumbfounded. What was going on? She hadn't agreed yet!
Aubry sighed and looked kindly at Elsa. "When the time comes, I'll find you a husband to marry into the Forier family. Then you won't have any regrets. I can also take your grandmother on a trip."
"What?! Husband?! Marry into the family?! "
Elsa exclaimed. "No! I don't want that! I don't want to inherit the title or the family head! I just came back to see you! "
"Is that so? But that's not up to you. "
Aubry gave Parola a look. Parola smiled bitterly and opened Abedon's letter for Elsa to read. Tang En glanced at it from the corner of his eye and quickly scanned it. Then, he began to criticize Abedon …
Elsa didn't read anything else. At the end of the letter, Abedon wrote to her. "Elsa, because I have other things to do, I can't inherit everything in the Forier family. But I believe that you'll be fine. Even I have to give you a thumbs-up for your talent! So stay by my side and study hard! I'll be praying for you from afar in Ellington … "
"Also, more importantly, I think it's dangerous for you to stay by Tang En's side. I always feel that the kid is a bit strange. Even Elijah is a bit abnormal when he's by your side. So, I think it's better for you to stay in Alinx. I have faith in you! ☆ (* ° ▽ ° *) ☆ ☆ "
"Dad …"
Elsa really wanted to cry. Her eyes were moist.
She trusted her father so much, but her father actually sold her out just like that?
Tang En widened his eyes in shock.
Wait!
What the hell was that letter?!
What did he mean by it's dangerous for you to stay by my side?!
What did he mean by I'm a bit strange?!
What did he mean by Elijah is a bit abnormal?!
And what the hell was that weird little drawing at the end of the letter?!
Tang En almost broke down when he saw the drawing.
Could it be that the man who looked tough and resolute was not only a daughter-con, but also had such a feminine heart?!
"So, you should understand," Aubry said calmly.
"I let him inherit, but he ran away. Now that he's sent you back, he wants you to take on the responsibility that he can't."
"I don't want to!"
Elsa was angry too. "What! Dad is like that, and so is Grandpa! They all decide other people's lives on their own! I don't want to be an heir! I just want to go back to Ellington! "
Well done!
Kevin, who was standing silently at the side, almost cheered. If Elsa insisted on giving up, maybe he could be the lucky one in the end!
Kevin looked at Elsa almost expectantly, waiting to see her continue to court death.
"Your protest is invalid."
Aubry looked at Tang En expressionlessly. "What's so good about Ellington? Can it be compared to Alinx? Can it be compared to our family? "
Elsa was just about to refute when Tang En stood up. "I can't not hear this … Your Grace."
"What do you think?"
"Of course."
Tang En spread his hands. "How you want to communicate with Elsa is your family's business. I won't interfere …"
My Lord! Why are you so annoying!
The teary-eyed Elsa originally wanted to support Tang En, but who would have thought that Tang En would directly stay out of it. The hazy feelings in the girl's heart suddenly shattered, and she almost wanted to pounce on him and bite him a few times!
"But, you said that Ellington is not good, so I can't not stand up."
"Ha!"
Aubry couldn't help but laugh loudly. "Go out and ask, how many people know about Ellington, this broken place? What status do you have as a lord? "
"Forgive me for being blunt." Tang En still had a gentle smile on his face. "As a territory of the Empire, it is so obscure and has been in a backward state for thousands of years. Isn't this your — the Empire's — inaction?"
Aubry's face stiffened, and he was speechless.
"And I, who took over this mess, am working hard to revitalize Ellington. Ellington is getting better and better day by day, and this is related to me … And you, a person who has done nothing for Ellington, what right do you have to trample on my efforts? What right do you have to belittle my territory as worthless? "
Aubry said, "I don't …"
"No! You do! "
Tang En said flatly. "Your attitude, your eyes, your tone, and even your every move is telling me one thing: you look down on Ellington."
After a pause, Tang En's lips curled up, and he said lightly, "Your Grace … No, Mr. Aubry, am I wrong?"
Seeing that he could not win against Tang En, Aubry straightened his neck and said, "Yes, I look down on Ellington. What's wrong?"
"Believe me." Tang En glanced at him and said lightly, "Soon, you will know how ridiculous your prejudice is."
"Hmph! I don't think so! "
Aubry snorted and said to Elsa, "From today onwards, you will live at home. Tomorrow, I will find a teacher for you …"
Elsa stared at Aubry stubbornly. "No! I don't want to! I want to go with the Lord! "
"Not bad, girl. You have your father's style."
Aubry first praised Elsa, then reached out to grab Elsa. "Unfortunately, it is still too early for you to resist me!"
Parola, of course, loved his granddaughter very much. He was afraid that Aubry would hurt Elsa, so he immediately glared at him and scolded, "Aubry! Don't hurt her! "
Aubry, of course, knew how to restrain himself. He did not use much strength in the first place. After being scolded by Parola, he used less strength. Then, he grabbed Elsa's arm. "You have to listen even if you don't want to! Otherwise, I will beat you until you are obedient like your father! "
"I don't want to!"
Elsa angrily swung her arm and shouted with her eyes closed, "I am not a child anymore! You didn't care about me before, so don't think about caring about me now! I — Eh? Where is he? "
When Elsa opened her eyes, she found that her grandfather had suddenly disappeared. She was at a loss.
Parola's eyes were wide open, and he looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Tang En and Hilton were holding back their laughter. Who asked him to be so smug? Now he was defeated, right?
"Wow! It flew so high and so far! "
Elijah looked into the distance, his face full of joy. "It looks so interesting. Sister Elsa, I want to play too!"
"Play? Play what … "
Elsa was still in a daze.
In the next moment, she heard a whistling sound in the air. Aubry, who she had accidentally flung away, flew back and looked at Elsa in shock.
What the hell … What just happened?
