There is a lord who just wants to draw cards, what's wrong with that?

"Maybe... this is a talented player." He comforted himself.

"Cough cough."

He cleared his throat and said, "For a loser, you've done pretty well. Keep up the good work. Wait for me to take you to the same place and time tomorrow. Don't forget, and don't come here without permission. Got it?"

Only now did Domi have the right to speak.

"understood."

Altaïr eventually fulfilled his promise and released Domi.

Come to think of it, this is the only promise he has fulfilled since the training, which really makes Domi feel deeply moved.

After returning home, Domi first went back to his room and took off his training clothes in the bathroom.

During high-intensity training, a large amount of sweat is secreted all over the body. These secretions have nowhere to go under the tights and finally all settle in the clothes.

So much so that as soon as he took it off, the sour smell hit him in the face.

"Hey~"

That sour and refreshing feeling is really strong!

He took his change of clothes and headed for the bath. Just as he passed the full-length mirror with a gold rim, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at himself in the mirror, and opened his mouth in surprise.

I saw in the mirror that he had grown muscles!

It's not the kind of macho muscles like Schwarzenegger, but rather more superficial muscles with contours and not so exaggerated.

Their presence makes Domi's figure fuller all of a sudden, with the beginnings of nine-pack abs, right-angled shoulders, slightly raised trapezius and latissimus dorsi. He looks thin when dressed and has muscles when undressed!

He flexed his arms, bulged his biceps, and squeezed them…

A hard one!

It's the real deal.

"Could it be possible that the results of training in the realm of mind can be brought into reality?"

He quickly rejected this conjecture, because only the soul entered the realm of mind, and the body remained outside, so the only possibility was the bonus brought by the upgrade of [Shadow Flow Body Skills].

Thinking of this, he felt that the 140,000 was worth it!

I took a comfortable bath in the bathtub and felt refreshed all over.

Dry your wet long hair, tie it into a high ponytail and tie it with a blue hairband. Before going out, change into a washed black shirt and gray trousers.

He was already very handsome, with a look that was gifted by God. When his body became fuller, he gained more confidence and the pressure from a strong person.

He stands out among a group of children of the same age.

"I wonder how Kelsey and Katherine will react."

He was inexplicably excited and couldn't wait to see them.

On the way to the restaurant, I even hummed a little song from my hometown:

"Summer is gone, winter is here again, 711, warm cup, chocolate~"

"The second hand is moving, DIDIDA~"

"Small time difference, DIDIDA"

"My morning tea moonlight shines on your hair~~"

"..."

He was singing the original song, but every note was out of tune... Anyway, he was in a pretty good mood now, and he could probably eat three or four more bowls of rice in the evening.

He put his hands behind his head and continued to walk along the corridor in a carefree manner. Suddenly, a haunting voice came from the front:

"Hey Domi! I finally found you!"

Upon hearing the voice, Domi immediately returned to his normal posture.

"Kelsey?! What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"

She did look a little flustered, and probably didn't have time to observe Domi's changes, but it didn't matter, there would be plenty of time after going to bed at night.

"Go to the lobby quickly. The master, the mistress, Edward, and Master Argyle are all here, waiting for you!"

"Wait wait wait! What exactly happened? Didn't they tell you?"

Kelsey shook her head. "The head maid found me at that time and asked me to find you back immediately. I didn't know what happened."

"Okay, let's go there quickly."

Domi's pace became faster and faster. He had a feeling that something shocking was about to happen.

When he arrived at a door in the lobby, he saw that many maids had gathered there, hiding behind the wall, waiting to see the sights.

Domi couldn't help but laugh. In other noble houses, how could a maid dare to gossip like this? If she dared to do so, she would be hung up the next day as a warning to others.

In order to prevent them from hearing what they shouldn't hear, he should send them away.

"What are all the sisters doing here?"

Seeing that it was Domi who came, the maids instantly lined up in a straight line, but said nothing.

"If there's nothing else, just go away. If my father finds out, we'll all be in trouble."

This also gives them a way out and is a relatively gentle way of dismissing them.

In fact, Carlos in the lobby had already sensed that the maids were hiding behind the door and eavesdropping. He was supposed to step in, but when he thought that Domi had not arrived yet, he wanted to see how Domi would handle it.

Judging from the results, it’s not bad. At least there’s no arrogance or domineering, and that’s enough.

Entering the lobby and coming to the sofa group, his two brothers were sitting side by side, while Carlos and Grace each sat on a single sofa.

"Dommy, come here."

Argyle waved at Domi, and he didn't hesitate to sit down next to Argyle, and at this time he didn't forget to ask for information:

"Brother, what happened?"

Argyle glanced at Carlos, then whispered in Domi's ear: "Father said he wanted to tell us something, including mother, but I think mother should have known it in advance, and she came here just to see our reaction."

"Domi, no matter what you hear next, don't show any expression that would make your mother uncomfortable, okay?"

Domi looked at Argyle deeply. He always felt that he should have noticed something from some small details in daily life, but he was not sure yet, so he said so.

Domi nodded implicitly and joined his eldest brother's united front.

He looked around again. In addition to a few people from his own family, there were Catherine, the captain of the guard Osmond, and a man with a sack covering his face. However, Domi recognized the guy as Altaïr's adjutant Locke and an ordinary maid who was usually honest and dutiful.

No one said a word, but everyone waited patiently.

At this time, Carlos finally spoke: "Now that everyone is here, I will get straight to the point."

"Aren't you all curious about who the first seat on my right has been left vacant for?"

He paused, then continued:

"Actually, that position is reserved for my other wife."

Domi's expression froze instantly, but thinking of Agyel's instructions, he forced himself to remain calm, but his heart was already in turmoil.

God damn, that other lady is practicing polygamy, right?

Wait, it seems that it is not impossible here, especially for nobles...

Looking at the reactions of the people around me, it didn't seem like a big deal.

Ok, if that’s the case then it’s fine.

No one else cares, so why should he, a kid, worry?

Chapter 37: Happy Sister

Chapter 37-36- Happy Sister

Domi breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time glanced at Grace's reaction, only to see that his legitimate mother had a blank expression on her face.

The truth might be just as Agyel said. Carlos must have told Grace in advance before confessing to everyone. Now that he can say it here, it must be with Grace's consent.

As for why they agreed, probably only they themselves know.

Just listen to it slowly.

"Her name is Sophia. She once saved my life before I married Grace. But she made a small mistake by accident..."

He sighed.

Carlos and Gracea's marriage has some elements of marriage alliance, and marriage alliance is usually compulsory. After he said this, Domi always felt that there was a bit of a bloody plot in it.

"Actually, you have a younger sister," Carlos turned his head and shouted to a corner, "Rosa, come out and let everyone see you."

Domi and his two brothers looked over almost at the same time, and saw a petite figure walking out from the shadows:

She seemed to have inherited her mother's long beige hair, which was tied into a cute bun. She had black pupils that were different from those of the three brothers, a straight and upturned nose, and a face as white and tender as a peeled egg, which seemed as if it could be blown away. She looked like a beautiful girl from a small family, as delicate as a doll, and one glance at her was enough to make people feel pity for her.

She was wearing a pure white dress with lace decorations on the sleeves and hem, which further highlighted her purity and flawlessness.

Carlos asked Rosa and the three brothers to sit on a sofa, right next to Domi.

At such a close distance, Domi could clearly see with his peripheral vision the nervousness and shyness on Rosa's face, as well as her clenched hands, clenched into small fists and resting on her legs. She looked so lost, just like himself attending a class reunion but feeling out of place with them.

Maybe she also felt that she didn't fit in with this family.

After all, her mother was just Carlos's...lover, not the one the matchmaker was marrying, so the child she gave birth to would naturally not have a status.

But Carlos' move seems to be to bring Rosa back into the family.

He continued, "Although Sophia got pregnant earlier, Rosa was born later than all of you. After being out for so long, I think it's time for you to accept her. So, Argyle, Edward, and Domi, you must treat your sister well."

This sentence was not only said to the three brothers, but also to everyone else present. It meant that Rosa should be treated on the same level as Domi and the others. After all, she was also Carlos' biological child.

Everyone remained silent because they had no need or right to refute.

"Gresa and I have discussed this matter. Due to secular reasons, Rosa cannot live with us legitimately.

To this end, I will let Ms. Marianne act as Rosa's mother and claim to the public that Rosa is Ms. Marianne's child. Ms. Marianne will also be promoted exceptionally and come to live in the castle, so as to achieve the same effect."

Marianne is the only maid in the room. She has brown hair and black eyes, which matches Rosa's eye color. Moreover, Ms. Marianne is an absolutely invisible person among the maids and she keeps her mouth shut, so she can be used.

Although it is said to be a use, it is actually mutually beneficial. After all, she can also be promoted and stationed in the castle to get a higher salary, so Marianne is very happy.

He looked at Rosa:

"The only inconvenience you have to pay is that you have to go to school. There are many people in the castle, and I can't guarantee that no one will reveal your identity. Of course, I will also arrange the best school and teachers for you, and you will definitely not lack money, okay?"

Rosa nodded slightly. It was good enough that Carlos did not turn against her. Moreover, he had treated her and her mother as family for so many years. What else could she be dissatisfied with?

"That's good. In the future, when the time is right, I will definitely clear your name. Believe me."

At this point, Argyle suddenly raised his hand.

"Argyle, you say."

"Where's Aunt Sophia? Isn't she coming with us?"

After these words were spoken, both Carlos and Rosa's expressions dimmed a little, and even Grace's eyes showed a hint of sadness.

Such an expression was naturally caught in Duomi's eyes. His mother and Aunt Sophia definitely knew each other and had a close relationship. There must be something hidden in it!

Even Carlos paused for a long time, which was rare before he said:

"Sophia...died two years ago, when you were five years old."

"You were all still ignorant at that time, and I was afraid that you would dislike Rosa after knowing the truth, so I waited until now to let you meet each other. Please understand my difficulties."

How could their strict and strong father actually show weakness like this?

Argyle was stunned, not knowing what to do, and waved his hands in panic:

"...Uh...I didn't mean to offend you. Really, father, you don't have to apologize for this. We will definitely treat Rosa like our own sister! Don't worry!"

Carlos was very pleased to hear that his eldest son was so considerate.

When he looked at his other two sons, Argyle immediately nudged Edward's waist with his elbow. He and Domi immediately understood and nodded like chickens pecking at rice:

"Yes, yes! Don't worry, father!"

"That's right! From now on, Rosa is my sister, and my sister is Rosa. I will beat the shit out of anyone who dares to touch her!"

At this time, Gresa also stood up, came to Rosa, hugged her small body, and whispered something in her ear...
