Chapter 146 Brother and sister meet
Although the standards of the dinner are very high, in general, it is still the same process that we are already familiar with.
So in the eyes of some people, everything tonight seems a bit lackluster.
On the dance floor, young men in military uniforms lead well-dressed college girls to dance, with their heels tapping and their skirts flying, exuding the youth and vitality unique to young people.
The fourth prince Joshua sipped the champagne from his glass boredly.
At the same time, Eunice next to her raised her confusion after a long silence: "The secret of the Bart Leon family?"
Obviously, this is the first time she has heard of such a reason. .
The fourth prince glanced at her: "This matter is not a secret in the circle."
"As a playmate who grew up with Eleanor and others, don't you think There is no curiosity at all. It is obvious that the Bart Leon family is sparse, but as long as the children grow up smoothly, it seems that every one of them can show amazing talents in the extraordinary field."
Eleanor's two? My brother is the most obvious case.
Although the eldest son William died on the battlefield, he left a great reputation in the military and was the holder of many records. If he had not died, he would probably have entered the realm of fifth-level legend earlier than Irina.
Not to mention the second son Lin En, the life of a monster does not need to be explained.
Even Eleanor, at her current age, is not inferior to her two brothers, and she is even more outstanding in the academy.
Although she is only at the second level now, she is only 14 years old and has just become a transcendent for a year.
How many devout believers from great noble families have just passed the first-level trial at her age?
After all, children's bodies are not fully developed yet and cannot withstand the baptism of extraordinary power. Therefore, generally speaking, 13 years old is recognized as the best time to awaken.
“This is the power derived from blood.” The fourth prince Joshua said with a smile, “Similar situations can be said to be very rare. If it weren’t for the decline of the Bart Leon family, I wouldn’t even be able to find one. Suitable sample."
"Hillie. Sister Na’s new subordinate, Shia, also has a similar bloodline, but it is more pure than the Bart Leon family. It’s a pity that she is very attached to him and won’t let me draw a tube of blood.”
“ So now I can only settle for the next best thing.”
I don’t know why.
After listening to Joshua's calm narration, when Eunice looked at the petite figure in the corner, a trace of pity actually appeared in her eyes.
She has already been sentenced to death in her heart.
"Okay, let's just show up at the banquet or something." As he said that, the fourth prince drank the wine in the glass. "I have to go to the government hall later. My father is awarding medals to the war heroes who have returned victoriously.”
“I heard that my stupid third sister got some bad luck and got a lot of military merit from the border.”
“It’s really interesting.”
The fourth prince Joshua shook his head, and then slowly walked towards Eleanor in the corner.
In the corner, Eleanor leaned against the cold wall, lowered her head deeply, and stared at the smooth and flat marble floor tiles under her feet.
Even though several hours had passed, she was still a little shaken at this moment.
As soon as she calmed down, the scene of the tragic death of the maid Serin appeared in front of her eyes.
This caused great harm to her soul.
For her, Serin, who was still by her side silently during the most difficult period, has become like a family member.
But his life was taken away by those demon-like guys so easily.
Eleanor's bright blue eyes were dim and dull, as if she couldn't see any hope.
What should I do?
She covered her face weakly, obviously wanting to cry, but she couldn't shed a single tear.
At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure appearing in front of her and handed her a handkerchief.
Eleanor quickly calmed down and took a deep breath: "I'm sorry, I."
But after raising her head to see clearly who was coming, her face instantly turned cold.
“Can I invite you to dance with me as the end of today’s banquet?”
Seeing that she didn’t need her handkerchief, the fourth prince Joshua smiled nonchalantly and handed the handkerchief to her. He put it back in his pocket, and then extended his palm towards Eleanor.
He seemed to just want to invite her to dance, but the palm he handed to her seemed to mean another layer of meaning.
Behind him, Eunice cast a suggestive and threatening look.
Right now, the Mosgra family has complete control over the lifeblood of the Bart Leon family, and even the life of the Marquis is in their hands.
With such a layer of insurance, Eunice did not believe that Eleanor would dare to resist her orders.
“.”
Feeling Eunice's eyes, Eleanor was filled with despair.
She knows it very well.
Once she accepts the olive branch offered by the fourth prince, what awaits her will be dark human experiments, and she may never be able to walk out of the research institute unharmed in her lifetime.
But if I don’t do this, what will happen to my father who is unconscious in bed, my missing sister-in-law, and my brother whose life and death are unknown at the border?
This is a choice.
A choice to sacrifice one's own life in exchange for the survival of his family.
However, Eleanor knew very well that making a deal with these demonic guys was just drinking poison to quench her thirst.
If I accept the Fourth Prince’s proposal, will my father and brother really be able to live safely?
If you think about it with your toes, you will know that it is absolutely impossible.
For a time, Eleanor was in a dilemma.
Her dim eyes became increasingly hollow, and her wrists hidden under her sleeves trembled slightly.
Seeing this, the fourth prince frowned.
Unexpectedly, until now, the girl is still dreaming of being reunited with her relatives.
“Let me give you a piece of information.” The fourth prince suddenly said, “After returning from the border, Felit found me and told me an interesting thing.”
< br>“He seemed to see a familiar name on the monument to the victims in Orne City.”
"Guess who that name is?"
The fourth prince's words were like an awl, suddenly piercing into Eleanor's heart.
She raised her head blankly, staring at the man in front of her, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't say anything.
If there is one reason that has supported her to this day, it is her second brother who was exiled to the border.
She has always believed that one day in the future, her powerful brother will regain his strength and return to the family, and save everyone from the mire of despair. Eleanor has always thought this way and lived by it.
But at this moment, feeling the determined look in Joshua's eyes, she suddenly wanted to cover her ears.
It seems that as long as you can't hear, you don't have to face that reality.
However, no matter how you escape, reality still exists.
The fourth prince spoke slowly, as if to crush the last illusions and hopes remaining in her heart.
"Yes, that name is. Lynn Bartelion."
"No. No"
Eleanor sobbed and covered her ears, shaking her head feebly.
If it weren't for the wall behind her, she would almost not be able to support her crumbling body.
There was a voice buzzing in her mind, as if laughing at her efforts for more than a year, which were all in vain. The so-called Bart Leon family had long existed in name only.
The cracks in my heart creaked.
It was as if Eleanor's mind would be completely broken if this continued.
Brother William is dead.
Brother Lin En is also dead.
Until now, only my father and I are left in the whole family.
Eleanor, Eleanor, the expectations you have buried deep in your heart have long since become ridiculous topics of conversation in the eyes of others.
Now that things have come to this, do we still have to resist the fate that has already been determined?
Silent tears streaked down her cheeks, but Eleanor did not wipe them away.
Seeing this, the fourth prince felt a little bored.
“There is no resurrection after death.” He looked bleak. “Life is such a precious thing. We can only remember those who have died.”
"That's why we have to seize the moment and those who are still alive, right?"
He had something to say.
“So, what is your answer?”
Looking at the black-haired girl who lowered her head and said nothing, the fourth prince once again held out his palm.
Exchanging her own life for her father's life is the only thing Eleanor can do at the moment.
"I"
The girl gently raised her hand.
Seeing this, the fourth prince Joshua’s lips turned into a smile.
Being able to willingly become an experimental subject without resisting will increase the success rate of many aspects.
However, the next second, his expression froze on his face.
The girl's raised palm did not hold him, but instead, a slender dagger appeared at some point.
Under Joshua's stunned gaze, she put the dagger against her throat without hesitation and slowly raised her head.
Although his eyes were red, his expression was full of sadness and stubbornness.
"Even if I die, I will not do what you want."
The death of the maid Celine and Lin En, one after another, brought too heavy a blow to her. It even made her completely lose hope of survival.
The sudden scene attracted everyone's attention, and the entire hall suddenly became silent.
"Put down the knife!" Feeling the different eyes around her, Eunice looked ugly and lowered her voice, "Think about your father, don't you care about his life or death?!"
Obviously, she did not expect that Eleanor would go so far as to publicize this scandal in public.
"If my father is still awake, he will definitely agree with what I am doing."
Even if he dies, he must uphold his dignity as a noble.
Instead of being reduced to a pathetic experimental subject and allowed to be manipulated by others.
Hearing this, Eunice’s face became even more embarrassed.
She looked at the fourth prince cautiously: "Your Highness, I."
"It doesn't matter." The fourth prince glanced at Eleanor, "I know what your plan is."< br>
“It’s a pity that this prince never cares about reputation.”
"Come here! Capture this murderer who is trying to assassinate the prince!"
He suddenly raised his voice.
The next second, the figures of four guards appeared out of thin air.
The invisible supernatural power instantly imprisoned Eleanor's movements.
A trace of despair instantly appeared in Eleanor’s eyes among the four third-level transcendent beings.
"This world is so helpless." Looking at the black-haired girl who could not move, the fourth prince slowly said, "Sometimes, you are not free to do whatever you want."
Can't you even commit suicide?
Eleanor was so heartbroken that she slowly closed her eyes, preparing to face her final fate.
“Puff——”
“Puff puff——”
In an instant, along with the sound of flesh and blood being pierced, countless black threads shot out from all directions like sharp arrows.
“Of course she can do whatever she wants. This is my tolerance for her willful behavior as an elder brother.”
“Do you have any objections, Your Highness Joshua? ?”
Asking for a monthly ticket! ! !
