Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 158 Future Daughter-in-law

"Cecilia, are you jealous of Sissi?"

At this time, Eli turned his head to look at Cecilia who was pouting, and asked her with a smile.

Cecilia, who was called by the master, turned her head away at first and did not answer, but when she thought that this would weaken her momentum, she quickly turned back.

"Eat, of course I have to eat! The master has loved to play with sister Sissi since she was a child, and she also wants Cecilia to play with her. The master likes her so much, how can Cecilia not be jealous?"

Cecilia folded her hands across her chest, still sitting high on the horse without getting off, but from her calm expression, it could be seen that she was not jealous of Sissi as she said.

"You see, I didn't mean to interfere. I was just thinking about the safety of your backyard."

William, who was caught by Eli, took advantage of Cecilia's words to complain in a hurry, but he dared not move his stiff body.

"Oh, so you're stopping me from seeing your sister out of good intentions?"

Eli sneered when he heard this, patted William on the shoulder, and then moved away.

"Of course. You are so wise and brave, and have a bright future. It is a blessing for my sister to be on good terms with her. How could I intentionally ruin my sister's good fortune?"

Feeling the pressure on his shoulders ease, William also felt a little relieved.

Because of his sister, he and Eli had been in contact since childhood. Although they did not become close friends, they were at least familiar with each other. He knew that Eli was a cold-faced but warm-hearted person, and just for the sake of his sister, he would not really make things difficult for him.

But what can I say? Even brothers may not know each other's minds, let alone the future brother-in-law and brother-in-law? He didn't know whether Eli, who was killing people like crazy today, would change his personality.

"Well, go back and tell Sister Sissi that Brother Eli has been busy lately. I'll go see her after I finish dealing with the engagement with Princess Lina."

As he said that, Eli patted William on the back again, then climbed onto his horse and rode away with the beautiful girls who had gathered around him. Before leaving, Alyssa yelled at William, as if to say she wanted to say hello to Sissi as well.

However, with Alyssa's current appearance, William couldn't recognize it at all. He just thought that Eli's family had raised a slightly larger dragon to keep Alyssa, who he had raised from a small child... uh, from a very young age, company.

Eli left with a group of people. William was still standing on the street in a daze. After a while, he came to his senses and looked up at the direction Eli and others left. Unfortunately, they had already gone far away and he could not see their shadows at all.

"Engaged to Princess Lina?"

William reached out and pinched his face, it hurt a little, so it shouldn’t be a dream.

As a noble of the Dawn Empire, William knew very well what status Princess Lina held in the empire. No matter who it was, as long as he could marry Princess Lina, even a pig could become a big figure in the Dawn Empire overnight.

Eli was originally the son of the Duke, and he had made great contributions on the front battlefield. It was said that he was incredibly powerful. Now that he was engaged to Princess Lina, his future was simply unimaginable. Perhaps the phrase "second to none and above ten thousand men" was not enough to describe it.

But they are quite a good match. After all, beauty is only worthy of the strong. Princess Lina is one of the most beautiful women in the whole continent, so only someone as young and strong as Eli can be worthy of her.

William thought about it and muttered to himself while standing there, but soon, he seemed to have thought of something and was stunned again.

Wait a minute! Going to see Sissi right after getting engaged to Princess Lina?
You... you're already engaged, why are you still visiting Sissi? Do you think the Black family is so easy to bully? Do you want my sister to be your mistress?

William was furious. He stood there and got angry for a while, then again, but finally realized that it was useless to get angry. Could the Black family afford to offend Eli now?

Even the Emperor promised his most precious daughter to him. Could it be that the Duke of Black's Mansion was more arrogant than the royal family?

Poor Garcia, she had always dreamed of becoming the bride of her brother Eli, but the extremely noble Princess Lina got there first. The daughter of a dignified imperial duke could only be reduced to being someone's concubine...

Here, William lost the mood to have fun and walked home sighing. On the other side, Eli had already returned to the Duke's Mansion with his men and dragon.

Because they were delayed in gathering the troops and on the road, Duke and Duchess Bruno, who left a little later, arrived home earlier than them. At this time, they were sitting in the hall, waiting for Eli to come and see them after he had arranged the guards.

These guards had originally followed him to the war from the Duke's Mansion. Now that they were back at the Duke's Mansion, they had their own residences, so there was no need for Eli to make arrangements. He just gave an order, and these people went back to their homes.

Soon, the crowd dispersed, leaving only Eli and a few girls to go to the hall to meet their parents.

As a local, Cecilia of course warmly invited the newcomers Evelyn and Eleanor to sit in the hall. Jessica was also a local, and although she was not very talkative, she still said "please" to Evelyn and Eleanor.

As several people walked into the hall together, Duke Bruno picked up the cup on the table and took a sip, but his eyes were still on the girls around Eli. As for the Duchess, she was not as fake as Duke Bruno. She just glanced at these girls.

Needless to say, Jessica and Cecilia should have become closer after going on this expedition with Eli. However, judging from their figures, there is no sign of pregnancy, which is a pity...

As for the girl in the magic robe, she looked weak but had good manners. She should be from an aristocratic family. She looked as good as Jessica and Cecilia, and was also a first-class beauty, a perfect match for her son Eli.

As for the last one... The Duchess's eyes were fixed on Eleanor. No matter how she looked at her, she had only one thought in her mind: This is not okay. This is absolutely not okay. My Eli is a great contributor to the empire and cannot become a criminal...

Wait? What's with this dragon? It looks familiar. Is it Alyssa's sister? What about Alyssa? Didn't the family send it to Eli?
After seeing her future daughter-in-law, the Duchess noticed Alyssa who squeezed into the hall. Although the Duke's Mansion was built in a grand manner and the hall was spacious and bright, it was impossible to build it to three floors. Alyssa lowered her head and squeezed in step by step. In here, she couldn't stand up at all and could only curl up into a ball. "Ah~"

Alyssa, who had hugged herself like a dragon ball, howled aggrievedly. She used to love playing in this hall, but now she couldn't move at all here?

“A…Alyssa?”

It was not until she heard Elisa's childish cries that the Duchess cried out in surprise. Even Duke Bruno, who had always acted like a patriarch, glanced over. It was obvious that he was also shocked by Elisa's size increase.

It's only been half a year since we last met, how come Alyssa has grown so big? Did Eli and the others secretly mix pig feed into Alyssa's dried fish?

"Ow~"

My brother's mother is Elisa's mother. When she heard the Duchess calling her name, Elisa quickly responded in howling language.

“Really Alyssa, you are…”

The Duchess ran out of words while talking, and she didn’t know what to say. She didn’t expect that in the past six months, Jessica and Cecilia’s stomachs had not moved, but Alyssa’s stomach had become so big…

“Uncle Longge, let’s find some craftsmen to come tomorrow and renovate the places in the house that need to be renovated, otherwise it will be inconvenient for Alyssa to go anywhere.”

At this time, Eli found a sofa and sat down. Looking at Alyssa who was huddled in the hall, he called the butler who was serving his father and asked him to arrange the reconstruction of the Duke's Mansion.

In response to Eli's order, Butler Longe glanced at Duke Bruno and then agreed. After so many years in the Duke's Mansion, he only needed to look at his master's eyes to know what to do.

"Come, Evelyn, sit down beside me. Eleanor, sit on that little stool over there. It will suit you better."

After talking about Alyssa's little story, Eli, as the future owner of the Duke's Mansion, of course asked the guests to sit down, but his different treatment earned Eleanor a big eye roll. Why should Evelyn sit on the sofa and she should sit on the small stool?
If it weren't for the fact that the stool was really cute, I wouldn't have sat on it! Thinking about it, Eleanor sat down on the stool with the bear pattern printed on it. The height was just right, and her feet could land firmly on the ground.

"Father and mother, let me introduce you to Evelyn, a girl I met by chance in the army. She is one of your future daughters-in-law. She was born in the Undead Principality and is currently a seventh-level necromancer."

After asking Evelin to sit next to him, Eli reached out and took her in front of everyone, and then introduced her to his father and mother openly. This was the woman he chose, and there was nothing to hide.

"Hello, uncle and aunt... I... I am Evelyn Taylor. My father is Earl Taylor of the Undead Principality, and my mother is from the Principality of Terres, also the daughter of an earl. I joined the army not long ago, and I don't have a position..."

Unlike the outspoken Eli, Evelyn was visibly nervous when she met her boyfriend's parents for the first time. She even stuttered a little at first. Fortunately, Eli was there to hold her hand and encourage her, which calmed Evelyn, who was almost sweating.

“Okay, okay, I can see that Evelin is a good kid. With you… uh, with you by Eli’s side taking care of him, we feel more at ease.”

In this situation, Duke Bruno, as the head of the family, was not in a position to speak, so the Duchess had to come over and take Evelyn's other hand to express her satisfaction with her. However, when the Duchess was speaking, her eyes caught sight of Jessica and Cecilia standing obediently behind Eli, and she quickly changed the words "with you" to "plus you".

After all, a new daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law, and a child bride who has been raised at home since childhood is also a daughter-in-law. No matter whether this kid Eli is related to her or not, as the future mother-in-law of several girls, she must treat them equally.

"In addition to Evelin, Princess Lina is also one of your future daughters-in-law. I don't need to introduce her details to you. You should know her better than I do. But she didn't come with us this time. I will bring her to meet the two elders tomorrow."

After introducing Evelyn, his father and mother had already witnessed Princess Lina's incident in the palace, but Eli still mentioned it.

“You don’t need to tell me about little Lina’s situation. Mother is very happy that you can get along with her. After all, she is…uh, mother will not treat you differently. Don’t worry, Evelin. The same goes for Jessica and Cecilia. Even if the princess marries in, mother will not let her bully you.”

Speaking of Princess Lina, there seemed to be a light in the Duchess' eyes, but before she could get excited, she noticed from the corner of her eye that the girls present had some subtle changes in their emotions, so she quickly changed her words and promised to treat them equally.

Although Evelyn, the daughter of the Earl of the Undead Principality, was far inferior in status to the noble Princess Lina, not to mention Jessica and Cecilia who were of commoner origins, the Duchess did not look down on any of them.

Evelyn looked gentle and kind, and the Duchess fell in love with her at first sight. As for Jessica and Cecilia, she had watched them grow up. They were called Eli's personal guards, and the Duchess actually always treated them as half daughters.

Princess Lina is indeed very good, but aren't these three pretty girls also good? Look at their cute little looks, who wouldn't be confused?

"My mother and I have the same idea. Not to mention an engagement, even if Princess Lina really marries me, she will only be one of my wives. Her status in the family will not be higher than yours. Everyone is equal."

Following his mother's words, Eli also expressed his own attitude. He was not a person who was good at keeping a balance, so he could only be simple and rough and not allow either end to get higher from the beginning.

Hearing what the mother and son said, Evelin glanced at Jessica and Cecilia quietly, thought for a moment, then turned her head to look at Eleanor, who looked as if she had nothing to do with it, and then let out a sigh of relief.

"I believe Eli and my aunt, and Evelyn will not argue with others."

Although Evelin’s voice was soft and waxy, her tone was surprisingly firm, as if she had made a great determination.

As for the other two, Jessica is not a problem, but Cecilia is a little...

As I was thinking about it, I saw Cecilia pouting her lips with an expression that said "I just want to win favor". As the first person to be intimate and sticky with her master, what's wrong with her being a little jealous?
But in order not to embarrass her master, Cecilia could only swallow her anger. At worst, she would just argue with him verbally and keep her stubborn personality...
