"I heard that the commander of the battle has a good relationship with Grand Duke Olga?"
The sudden sound of the words in the car surprised Barris. His wife's words sounded just a light question. Barris was not sure if there was any hint. After all, the couple had been so many years, and his wife had heard some rumors about the secrets of the family's bloodline.
"Ah, of course it's good, otherwise there wouldn't be the DuPontlin family now. When Lord Olga passed away... he came to see Lord Olga for the last time. That was the last time I saw him. It seemed that only Lord Olga and Astartes were closest in the family. After that, the Knights of the Astral Realm went to the Great Vortex for an expedition."
"Master, have you ever met the commander of Soshyan Alexey?"
The wife blinked, and a surprised expression appeared on her face covered with powder.
"You've never said this."
"Well, all the adopted sons of the Grand Duke were present at that time, but I was still young, and the commander of the War Team would probably not notice me."
Barris's wife gently opened the folding fan, slap Xiangfeng a few times, and whispered:
"Maybe it's not the case."
"Mary, you're a little weird today."
"Master, for Sere, you must think of a solution. I know you don't want to mention some things, but now that's it, Sere will become an excellent knight. But if it's just that, it will only bring him disaster. The usurper will definitely find a way to eliminate this threat. You have encountered several "accidents" in the past, but fortunately nothing happened, but what about Sere? Where is our son?"
"Mary."
Barris' attitude became serious in a rare manner, and glanced out the window to confirm that there were no other carriages nearby, before whispering:
"Don't say anything that is used to the throne! If someone hears it, it will cause big trouble!"
"Will there be no trouble in the future? Master, what have you been enduring for so many years? Even if they let you go, will they let our son go?"
"Mary, you...what are you talking about? I am also a formal knight. No one is threatening us. You are too nervous."
Mary glared at him.
"Master, don't lie to yourself in some things. If it's just an accident that you are a little similar to Lord Olga, then what about Sere? I haven't read too many books, but I also know that appearance is the most prominent genetic feature of a family. If you continue to pretend now, you are lying to yourself!"
Barris turned his head and said guiltily:
"Don't believe those rumors... Lord Olga has no children in his life, this is common sense..."
"So why do your mother often cry secretly at the portrait of the grand duke alone? And the explosive pendant left to you before my mother left? You just said that only the grand duke himself and Astart were close to each other in the family, so where would the pendant made of the explosive blast carved with your name come from?"
Barris closed his eyes and whispered in a nearly begging tone:
"Mary, stop talking..."
But his wife seemed to have accumulated many years of emotions and burst out at this time, and her voice became a little sharp.
"Madias is a usurper! You and Sere are the real DuPontlin! The family should be you and Sere! Have you been tolerant for so many years? Have they respected you? Have you ever been grateful to you? No! Those arrogant bastards are a bunch of ungrateful beasts! If Lord Olga had not adopted them, their only identity would be the untouchable bastards they often talk about!"
After marrying Barris for so many years, although Mary has also become an aristocratic woman, she is actually very excluded by the noble circle, and she often gets ridiculous when she meets her. Even with her gentle personality, she still accumulates a huge amount of resentment over the years, but she can understand Barris's prudence. After all, she is stronger than others. As a supreme ruler, Madias cannot be overturned by the rumored blood secret.
But now an opportunity has emerged, and an existence above Madias is about to come.
"Shut up!"
Suddenly, a roar interrupted Mary's chatter, and the fans in her hand fell on the floor of the carriage in surprise.
Barris gasped and looked at the other person, as if he was an angry beast. At this time, he had some amazing similarity with Lord Olga.
For a short period of time, the carriage fell into silence, with only the sound of Barris' calming gasps and the sound of the wheels rolling.
About a minute later, the faint sob replaced the gasp. Seeing his wife covering her face and crying, Barris then moved his footsteps, sat next to the other party, and held his hands around the other party's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Mary, I'm not... Alas, Madias' succession to the throne is the last of Grand Duke Olga. This was announced by the commander of Soshiyan himself and crowned him. I know you have suffered a lot of grievances over the years, but I believe nothing is more important than a family's safety. My mother told me before her death that she would live and live safely... And the DuPontlin family did not make it clear that the father was inherited by the son. How should we inherit it is not what we take for granted."
Mary put down her hand, wiped her tears with a scarf, and said stutteringly:
"Master, I am not greedy for power. Marrying you is never because of your status. I don't care about living a simple life, but we must consider Sere... You also know that he is very close to the daughter of Edson's family. I can see that Sere likes her. Last time I had a tentative chat with Countess Edson. What's the result? She directly warned me to keep Sere away from Tasia, because her daughter will become the queen of the new Supreme King in the future! Master, have you ever thought that Sere would suffer? He is better than everyone else, but he is going to be inferior to others. It is obvious that the DuPontlin family should be his! He is the grandson of Olga! What's not that the father died and the son succeeded? Isn't Madias just thinking about letting his son inherit the throne now?"
Barris was speechless, and his wife held his right hand.
"Barris, I have a feeling that your concession will not bring peace again. The commander of Soshyan's sudden visit must have something big to do! You need to show your identity-"
"Mary..."
Barris sighed and interrupted his wife.
"Have you ever thought that the Grand Duke and the Commander of the Soshiyang War are so close, would he not know about these things?"
Mary was stunned, then realized that her husband was right, so she murmured to herself:
“Then why…”
Barris shook his head.
