Seeing the inexplicable extra brother and mother hugging each other, Nathan felt a surge of anger in his heart.
“Stop joking!”
He shouted angrily, “I don’t have a brother who doesn’t know what to say!”
Step forward and pull Mariana away. .
"Mother, you are deceiving them, right? You are just making up lies to escape their pursuit."
"My child..."
Mariana hugged him with compassion.
"I'm sorry that I kept your life a secret for so many years, but it's all true."
"No!"
Nathan, still waiting to refute, knocked on the door. The sound started again.
Mariana blinked, "I guess Cecil and Bryce are here, right?"
The door to the room opened, and sure enough, these two people came in.
"Oh my God! There are people who look so similar in the world."
As soon as they entered the door, they were stunned.
"Ahem!" Butler Philip reminded them seriously, "If she doesn't look alike, she is our mistress. You should salute her!"
Mariana greeted them with a smile, "Long time no see, Bryce, Cecil."
"What...is going on?" Bryce couldn't help but ask.
Philip told the story of the cause and effect.
The two of them were even more surprised, but since it was certain, they all saluted Mariana.
"Madam, it's incredible that we personally watched you being buried. Of course, we are very happy that you are still alive."
Philip explained: "There is wood inside the coffin."
Bryce was very angry, "You old man, are you the only one who knows the truth, and you have hidden it from us for so many years!"
Philip Very innocent, "The old master didn't let me tell you. Even our current earl doesn't know about it. Oh, by the way, my wife later became Miss Setia's teacher. Fate is so wonderful."
" Yes, I just found out, and I came to you just to confirm.”
Paul testified for him.
"Now, gentlemen, and Ladi. I want to talk to Paul alone, and I hope you can grant my small request."
In the eyes of others, this is very reasonable, after all, mother and son are two After so many years of separation, there must be endless things to say.
But Paul felt that his mother was not just trying to express her feelings to each other.
"Of course." Philip said: "This is your right. Everyone, let's go."
He looked at Nathan, "Master Nathan, please come with me, Leave your mother and brother alone for a while, I think you will be interested in visiting the castle passed down by your ancestors. Oh, poor little Nathan was forced to leave here as soon as he was born."
Nathan was pulled away by Phillip in a daze, and Bryce and Cecil's confirmation directly crushed him.
Others also stood up and left.
Paul suddenly said: "I wonder... Should Ladi stay? She... is also your student after all."
Mariana glanced at Ladi and said, "No , I will find her alone later."
"Then I will go out first." La Di looked disappointed, and she actually looked a little weak in front of the teacher.
Everyone went out and the door was closed, leaving only Paul and Mariana. As soon as the footsteps outside disappeared, Mariana glared at Paul with a stern look, startling him.
It is as if some dusty memory has been awakened.
"Tell me clearly, why do you keep a witch by your side?"
"Huh?" Paul was dumbfounded by her question.
Mariana frowned, "Don't you know? Witches are dangerous people."
She frowned, with a worried look on her face, "Father, you will not be raped. Are you...charmed?"
Paul said: "Considering your status, these words are really strange coming from your mouth."
"I am still yours. Mother, isn’t it normal to be worried?”
Paul was a little funny: “Didn’t the other Count Grayman also keep the witch by his side and give birth to two sons?”
Mariana's face turned red, "Your father and I have different things. You can't treat the exception as the rule."
"My respected mother." Paul said in a positive tone: " You can rest assured that your student is a loyal, reliable, and capable outstanding lady. There is absolutely no problem with her character. She has helped me solve a lot of troubles. Ladi Setia and I are normal lords. "Really?" Mariana said in a very skeptical tone, "The more you talk about her so perfectly, the more I feel there is a problem between you and her." "Is there nothing wrong?"
"Okay, I admit it." Paul spread his hands, "There is indeed a bit of platonic... that is, spiritual attraction to each other, after all. She is a very charming woman. As for your son, I don’t seem to be that bad, but that’s all. Besides, I am engaged.”
Mariana asked anxiously: “Engaged to whom?” ”
Paul smiled and said, "You may not believe it, but it is Princess Catherine Rodney of the royal family."
"Princess Catherine?" Mariana was really shocked, "How could she be with a girl from the Northwest Bay? The lord is engaged?"
She was suddenly struck by lightning, "Wait, you...are you going to marry into the royal family? As far as I know, Princess Catherine plays an important role in the politics of the kingdom, and the royal family has full rights. The more reason Mariana thought about it, the more she felt that Paul was going to change her surname.
Then he became angry, "How can this be done? Paul, you are your father's eldest son, and you shoulder the important responsibility of continuing the Gleiman family's bloodline."
"Hey, hey, I want to correct you." Paul emphasized: "It was His Majesty the King who was crying and shouting that he wanted to marry his sister to me." He boasted a little.
"This...is this true?"
Mariana couldn't believe it.
"You will know then, if...you still stay here."
"Oh, Paul. I..." Mariana was touched by the soft place in her heart, She hesitated to speak.
Finally, he said: "I still have something very important to do."
"A very important thing?" Paul asked tentatively: "Is it... something related to the secret society?"
< br>"How do you know?" Mariana was surprised at first, but then she reacted immediately. She said bitterly: "It's that guy Dessen, right? I should have found out this traitor long ago."
< br>"Uh...you know?"
"Hmph, I accidentally used a spell when I had a conflict with others on the street. What a lame excuse! Okay, my son."
< br>
Mariana sat down at the desk and said in a gentle tone: "Yes, I am now a member of the Secret Law Society."
"So, everything Dessen said is true?"
“What did he tell you?”
“Everything!” Paul answered, “Everything he knew.”
“Ancient legends, mysterious celestial phenomena, mysterious prophecies , your alliance with the Bachelor's Tower, and what happened behind the scenes of the Gabela Empire..."
