Quadruple split.

530 Marriage
"are you serious?"

Surprise that was almost astounding flashed in Emmeline's eyes, she casually took off the cold cloak with the family crest printed on it and handed it to Deku, pulled Futaba and sat down in front of Mo Tan, and repeated with a solemn expression: "are you serious?"

Mo Tan shook the wine glass in his hand, and smiled: "Personally, I'm not very serious."

Emmeline was slightly taken aback, and after a long silence, she asked again: "Then, is His Royal Highness serious?"

"Mistress, this"

Butler Deku seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Emmeline raising her hand.

"Listen to him."

The youngest lord in the entire Violet Empire shook his head, staring at Mo Tan with complicated eyes: "I want to hear the reason."

On the other side, although Futaba had never heard of this matter before, she had already reacted the moment Mo Tan's voice fell, and quickly completed a series of guesses and inferences in her mind, but she didn't say anything , just lightly patted the slightly trembling hand of the duchess.

"Seriously, it depends on which angle you analyze it from."

Mo Tan took a sip of wine calmly, perfectly ignoring Steward Deku's stressful gaze, and said indifferently: "If you look at it from the perspective of His Royal Highness wanting to marry you, Grand Duke Crystal Wolf, then he It’s really serious, but if you say Schubressen is serious about Emmeline Wolfcresto, at least so far, no.”

"Hey, you really are"

Futaba sighed inexplicably.

"Are you and His Royal Highness teasing the eldest lady!"

The old butler of Deku has already begun to overflow with murderous aura. This old man who seems to have seen his own daughter being harassed by a playboy is now extremely angry, and even forgot that he should call Emmeline "Mistress" instead of a long time ago. 'Miss' is not used anymore.

Mo Tan sneered, waved his hands at Deku and said: "Please don't get me wrong, His Royal Highness is not going to tease a grand duke for no reason, and besides, Grand Duke Emmeline hasn't lost her temper yet, why are you here so the emperor is not in a hurry? .”

Deku blinked, and asked in a deep voice, "What is a eunuch?"

"Oh, it is the important ministers who served the emperor in a certain period of history. One person can be as many as ten thousand people. They are not only responsible for taking care of the emperor's daily life, but also making suggestions on national policy."

Mo Tan opened his mouth and came.

"Hmph, sir, too much praise."

Deku snorted coldly and didn't appreciate it: "I'm just an ordinary old slave. If it's you, don't you want to be that eunuch for His Royal Highness the Second Prince?"

Futaba burst out laughing: "That's right, then you'll be called Xiao Nizi from now on, dear Anthony."

Mo Tan shrugged, made a funny expression, and then turned his gaze to Emmeline again: "What do you mean?"

"Miss, what are you still thinking about, he is clearly"

Deku looked anxiously at Emmeline who was silent, but was interrupted again.

"Mr. Steward, as I said just now, although you love your master very much, and you really think about her in every way, in some respects, Duke Emmeline may be more thorough than you, and"

Mo Tan glanced at Deku, and said coldly: "Whether it's a real housekeeper, an ordinary old slave, or a qualified dead eunuch, when the master is thinking seriously, you should keep your mouth shut and be quiet." Go get tea and pour water, don't forget your identity, you should look like a servant!"

"I you."

Deku apparently didn't expect that Anthony Dubs, who was friendly with him just now, would turn his back on him when he said that he would turn his back on him. He was suddenly so angry that his complexion turned blue and white, but he couldn't find anything to refute, because he had fainted. I realized that what the other party said was not wrong. Emmeline is no longer that innocent little girl. Although she may still be immature, she already has the pattern that a lord should have. No matter how experienced, the pattern is just that of a servant.

Maybe he can really say a few words about how to let the people live a good life and how to continue to maintain the family from decline, but the current topic is beyond his ability to intervene.

[When this kid talked to me alone before, he was probably preparing for this scene. 】

Deku's fists were tightly clenched behind his back, but it was because he found helplessly that if Dabs hadn't given himself the 'vaccination' before, he might have lost control of his emotions now.

"Watch your words, Mr. Dubs."

Emmeline narrowed her eyes slightly, and said to Mo Tan in the same cold tone: "Uncle Deku is not only my housekeeper, but also my family, if you dare to insult him by a single word"

"sorry!"

Before she could finish speaking, Mo Tan stood up abruptly, bowed three consecutive ninety-degree bows to the housekeeper, then knelt down, and said hoarsely, "Master De! I was so wrong! If you don't forgive me, I won't get up!"

"what"

Futaba covered her eyes and lowered her head, muttering sadly: "How could I know someone like you!"

Duke Emmeline couldn't help but look back at the old man who was completely stunned: "That Uncle Deku?"

The latter shook his head with twitching corners of his mouth, and smiled wryly at Mo Tan: "It's okay, Mr. Dabs, it was indeed me who overstepped just now, you'd better get up quickly."

"Okay~"

Mo Tan bounced up from the ground and sat on the chair again, then raised his eyebrows at Amy Lin with Erlang's legs crossed: "Then let's continue, I don't know what the Eunuch wants? Oh, by the way, old man, you can serve me two plates of snacks Well, I happen to be a little hungry here."

【You have a thick skin! 】

Both Futaba and Deku were startled, but the latter quickly found out a few plates of delicious snacks and put them on the table, which shows that his butler expertise has already reached MAX.

"Hehe, Mr. Dabs, he is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men."

Emmeline dragged out two sentences of ancient common language, and showed a melting smile: "Then please explain to me what I said before in detail."

"Good talk, good talk."

Mo Tan picked a piece of snack and threw it in his mouth, he cleared his throat after squawking, and showed a bust-like smile to Emmeline: "Let's talk about Shubresien first, he must have no feelings for you, There is one thing to say, after all, the two have never met before, even if they met at some messy banquet or ceremony, they didn't say anything, even if they could say a few words, it must be just To put it bluntly, although you are indeed a beauty with outstanding temperament and appearance, there are very few scenes of love at first sight these years, especially for people who are rational and intelligent like Xiu, it is basically impossible to fall in love with anyone at first sight, So from this perspective, he really can't take you seriously."

Emmeline frowned, and asked softly, "Did you say that, or did he say it?"

"I said."

Mo Tan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Actually, what he wanted me to convey was another set of rhetoric. Its content was very deceptive, and it could be called a textbook example of courtship. It's just that I chose to tell the truth, because in all likelihood Nine, His Highness is thinking exactly what I just said."

"Are you sure you are here to help Xiu propose marriage to me?"

Emily looked at Mo Tan with a strange expression, and asked suspiciously, "It's not because you want to spoil his good deeds?"

"Uh, actually, I'm here to spoil his good deeds."

Mo Tan looked at Emmeline seriously, and said in a deep voice, "Because I like you too, I don't want you to be together."

Deku shivered for a while, and tried not to slap him.

Emmeline, on the other hand, looked extremely calm: "You are very humorous, Mr. Dabbs."

"Okay, I admit I lied."

Mo Tan rolled his eyes, spread his hands and said, "Actually, I like His Royal Highness, so I don't want you to be together."

"Wow!!"

The Duke of Crystal Wolf, who was still calm just now, suddenly had his eyes bright, grabbed Futaba's little hand, and exclaimed in a low voice: "It's so romantic!"

The latter smiled dryly, "He lied to you."

"Well, of course I know that."

Emmeline coughed dryly, did her best again, and tried to look at Mo Tan with serious rather than loving eyes: "Let's stop joking here first, and tell me why you did this."

"As you wish."

Mo Tan slightly nodded, and then looked at the other party with a half-smile: "The reason why I told the truth directly was because I suddenly found that if you relayed the words according to what His Royal Highness said, you would be very uncomfortable after listening to those affectionate confessions." It is possible to agree directly, so just tell the truth."

Emmeline raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why do you see that?"

"Let's put it this way, according to my observation, after you learned of my intentions, Mr. Duke, you almost subconsciously changed the title of 'His Royal Highness' to 'Xiu', plus you don't have anyone you like at the moment, Second Prince The previous performance in the Hall of Purple Nine was also quite handsome, so it made you feel a little bit excited." Mo Tan snapped his fingers, and said in a leisurely tone: "Plus, he knows how to use Words touch a woman's heart, I think there is at least a [-]% chance that you will agree to it because of some impulsive and extremely irrational feelings, which is not a good result."

Emmeline's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said in a stiff tone: "Even if what you said makes sense, what is the so-called good result?"

"It is a political marriage in which reason is far greater than emotion."

Mo Tan gave the answer without thinking, waving his index finger lightly and said: "This is the second point I want to explain, which is the reason why His Royal Highness wants to marry Grand Duke Crystal Wolf seriously."

Emmeline breathed a sigh of relief, trying to calm herself down as much as possible, then slightly nodded at Mo Tan: "I would like to hear more about it."

"Very well, then please answer my question first."

Mo Tan looked at the other party's eyes that had been completely condensed, and asked lightly: "How much is the strength difference between the Crystal Wolf family and the Dantes family?"

"It's very big. If the Crystal Wolf family is 10, the Dantes family is at least 50. Except for the similar territory, we are far inferior to the Dantes family in all aspects, especially after the death of our father."

Emmeline answered without thinking.

Mo Tan nodded, and asked again: "Then how did the Crystal Wolf family compare with the Dantes family in its heyday?"

Emmeline didn't answer right away this time, but said slowly after pondering for a moment: "Even the Crystal Wolf family in its heyday is far behind the current Dantes family."

"Then what is the reason?"

Mo Tan laughed.

"what do you mean"

Emmeline is also a smart person, she had already reacted when Mo Tan asked the first question, so she was not surprised at all.

"That's right, because the Dantis family and the Violet family have been friends for generations and have always been married. Including the former queen who died young and Her Majesty Clever, there have been at least dozens of marriages between the two parties in history. There are so many, it can be regarded as a family." Mo Tan grinned, and said leisurely: "Although the so-called royal family is only in name, it still has many intangible resources. They have no chance to use those things themselves, but if they are used to help another non-human It’s different with the royal family.”

Emmeline chuckled lightly, shook her head and said, "Since you have said that the Dantes family and the Violet family have been friends for generations, will this situation change after I marry His Royal Highness the Second Prince? With the same idea, you Do you think other families have never thought about it for so many years?"

"It's not a question of whether or not you have thought about it, but that you can't do it even if you think about it."

Mo Tan smiled, shrugged and said: "How can the tacit understanding of hundreds of years be broken so easily, and the relationship between the two families has long been more than just a marriage. Violet and Dantes are like a barrel The dyes that have been thoroughly mixed together cannot be separated at all."

Emmeline frowned slightly, puzzled and said, "Since you know it well, then why?"

"Because Humbracen intends to dump the bucket of dye."

Mo Tan blinked, and said lightly: "Overthrow everything in the past, and then replace it with a new one, and the Crystal Wolf family can take the place of the Dantes family to a certain extent if you have a reason. "

"Why somehow?"

Emmeline heard the implication in Mo Tan's words, and asked without emotion.

And it wasn't Mo Tan who answered her.
"Because His Royal Highness Prince Shubresien will not tolerate intertwining his own color with others, he will only make the crystal wolf into his own color, as well as Baroka, Simon, Fernand or whatever, accept it It's conquered, assimilated, and if you don't accept it, it's crushed and thrown away with the barrel."

Futaba smacked her lips, the apricot eyes behind the lens became more serious
"Ah, ah, our prince is really amazing."
