Chapter 432 A Midsummer Night's Dream 5,400-character chapter!
Hot weather always makes people dislike activities, and the scorching sunshine makes people drowsy, even the Lane family. The Earl and his family turned on the air conditioner to escape the summer heat in the winery, where there are trees and trees.
All kinds of entertainment facilities are available throughout the place, and Ryan also asked dwarf craftsmen to build a small open-air swimming pool inside the winery, where women can swim to their heart's content.
Except for Veronica, who became very active in the summer and practiced constantly, even Morgiana half-heartedly went into the water to play for a while at Ryan's invitation. After swimming, everyone sat by the pool and tasted some.
Ryan and Teresa made cold drinks on site, and the winery was air-conditioned, so the hot summer didn't seem so difficult.
Brittany's climate is mild and livable. After a brief period of the hottest weather, the weather gradually cooled down. Thunderstorms gradually became more frequent, and Ryan also went out less often.
"Crack~" It was another thunderstorm night, and the rain hit the window of the winery's master bedroom, making a crisp sound.
Ryan and Surya were lying on the bed talking. The female knight was holding a book about the Holy Grail Knight's expedition and flipping through the pages. Ryan was playing with the wood elf sculpture in his hand.
Olika, the personal maid, fed him fruits while the cat was in his arms. The dark elf, as his personal maid, always slept in the same room with him, even when Ryan and Sulia were living as husband and wife, there were few exceptions.
.
Olika has now perfectly assumed her role. Unless Ryan takes the initiative to ask, she rarely speaks and knows how to keep secrets.
But she took the initiative to speak today: "Master, I think Her Highness Morgiana is just faking it."
"It must be pretending." Ryan complained, and he turned his eyes to Sulia with a half-smile: "Sulia, do you also think Morgiana is faking it?"
"Lian~" Lidya Su looked at her husband funny. She put down the book, stretched out an arm wearing lace and silk pajamas, and poked Ryan's face with her delicate fingers: "If you know, don't do it.
Say it~"
Morgiana reluctantly changed her swimsuit and went into the water together, but the Lake God Witch insisted that she couldn't swim and asked Ryan to teach her. Ryan also spent some time teaching her, but after two or three days of teaching, she couldn't teach her.
The water must pull Ryan along, or simply hang on him.
Sulia naturally saw it, but the female knight has always been the most devout believer of the Lake Fairy, and the Lake God Witch is the first spokesperson of the Lake Fairy in the mortal world. She did not say it directly like Orica,
I can only secretly laugh, and at the same time lament how popular my husband is. Even if I become his wife, I still always have to find ways to suppress the whirlpool in the backyard.
The female knight can tell which women Ryan has had physical contact with at a glance. She can just look at the lower abdomen to see if there are any spiritual patterns of Ryan's brand. Sulia recently checked her body for any disease. The maid group of the famous Earl's Castle was checked by Sulia.
After checking it again, it was found that only Ryan's personal maid Orika had the spirit pattern, not even Emilia. This proved that Ryan did not have the habit of sowing seeds indiscriminately.
Thinking of Emilia, Lidya Su raised the topic: "What are you going to do about Emilia?"
"What can I do? All I can do is respect Emilia's choice." Ryan shrugged helplessly. Since Noor's black lady Elspeth von Drakken and Noor Justice Theodore-
After Bruckner came, Emilia has remained autistic and rarely goes out. Except for her work as a maid, she has locked herself up. When Ryan occasionally visits her, he finds that she is practicing hard on the rapier.
Fencing, one-handed sword fighting and the use of muskets.
It was difficult for Sulia to comment on this matter, but the female knight immediately remembered something: "By the way, I remember that you had a little maid when you came to Britannia, but after the wedding, I didn't
Have you met her?"
"You mean Miranda? After that girl served me for five years, I allowed her to leave as a free person. Now she seems to have opened a tailor shop in Chalon Town." Ryan recalled it and said: "My maid group
There have been several changes of people. Except for Emilia, who is the head maid, and Orica, the personal maid, no one can't be replaced. I'm not some fat-headed aristocrat. Generally, maids will be replaced after working for two years.
Automatically switch out and stay for a long time to stop them from having any other ideas."
"That's right~" Lidya Su nodded. From her understanding, Ryan is indeed such a person.
After chatting for a while, the Countess took the initiative to leave. She would not sleep in Ryan's room at night. It was not her time tonight.
Orica stayed, and the dark elf got into Ryan's arms and gave her a kiss: "Master~ we are the only ones left~"
"Yes, Olika, we are the only ones left." Ryan looked at Olika with a smile, and the master and servant looked at each other and smiled.
…………It’s late at night…………
At midnight, everything in the winery was silent except for the chirping of cicadas and the sound of the wind. The magic lamp that illuminated the dim corridor had been turned off, leaving only darkness in the corridor. On the big bed in the master bedroom, Ryan and Ollie
Ka Zheng fell asleep hugging each other.
"~" At this time, there was a faint sound of footsteps and weak breathing from the door of the room.
The visitor seemed to be hesitating. He raised his hand to knock on the door, then lowered his hand and paced back and forth. He was very confused.
Thin footsteps came back and forth five times, when the visitor wanted to raise his hand and knock on the door again.
The door opened automatically.
"Who?!" Olika, disheveled and with a youthful look on her face, appeared at the door of the bedroom holding a pair of daggers printed with branch patterns. The dark elf maid was wearing a long purple velvet nightgown with no buttons on the chest.
It was not fastened, revealing the delicate wheat-colored skin and proud plumpness, and a happy pendant swinging back and forth: "You will never be allowed to get close to the master!"
The figure of the visitor was as fast as lightning. The thin sword in her hand rolled back and forth twice in the air, and went straight to Orika's head. The dark elf immediately waved the dagger, and the dagger in her hand moved back and forth, like a sword flying in the air.
Butterfly's moves are gorgeous and vaguely dangerous. The cold sharp blade moves back and forth between the intruder's neck, forcing the intruder into danger.
But the intruder showed no sign of weakness. After nimbly dodging Orica's dagger attack, she turned around and wanted to continue her offensive.
Olica did not intend to give the intruder a chance to stop her offensive. She stretched out a slender leg wearing white stockings and hit the intruder on the head sideways, forcing the intruder to retreat and dodge again, and exposed her flaws and short-term
of stiffness.
Holding a pair of daggers tightly again, Orica was about to pursue the victory and take down the opponent. Suddenly a big hand stretched out from behind the dark elf and covered her mouth, and the other big hand gently pressed her
Lower abdomen: "Okay, Olika, stop making trouble, you clearly know it's her."
Master~ This is not the time for her to come, this is my night."
"Emilia? Why are you coming to my room at this time?" Ryan signaled the dark elf not to be angry, and he said to Emilia who was standing at the door.
"Putting it off all the time is not an option." Emilia stood at the door and whispered.
"Don't stand there, come in~" Ryan motioned for Amelia to come in. The little maid nodded. She followed Ryan into the room, turned around and closed the door.
After placing the dark elf on the bed, Ryan turned around and turned on the floor lamp. The sight in front of him surprised him.
His little maid, Amelia's face was already full of tears. Emilia, who was only wearing an ordinary lotus leaf short-sleeved dress and silver princess shoes, stood in front of Ryan. She sobbed softly: "I'm sorry, Ryan,
I'm here to tell you my decision."
After saying that, Emilia couldn't help but continued to sob. She gritted her teeth and expressed her decision: "I decided to return to Nuer."
Ryan smiled when he saw this. He reached out to hold Amelia in his arms and patted her back: "You have made a decision, dear Amelia, that's good, I'm happy for you.
.”
"I'm sorry! Mr. Lane! Woohoo~ I really don't want to go back, I just want to be your maid, and I don't want to leave your side, but I can't... I can't leave Noor without a master, and I can't abandon those few
A vassal family that has served our family for generations. I can’t forget that my father handed the holy sword to me in the Dragon Forest.
The instructions in my hand asked me to escape for my life. Too many people have sacrificed to protect me. Now Nur needs me, Wesenland needs me, wuwuwu~" Emilia said to herself sadly as she lay in Ryan's arms.
Said to himself: "I can only... I can only... Maybe this is life, Ryan, I can't let you go, but I have no choice."
"It's okay, Emilia, it's okay. This is your duty, this is the responsibility you shoulder. I accept your choice. No matter what you choose, I will support you." Ryan reached out and patted the little boy.
He sighed with emotion on the maid's back: "You have followed me for nearly seven years, and you don't owe me anything anymore. Now, it's time for you to complete your mission. Just go ahead and do it, Emilia, I will support you."
your."
"Emmanuel von Lebwitz-Bernardino, this is my full name. The titles and titles I can inherit include Elector of Brescia, Grand Duke of Nour, Land of Wiesen and Land of Sol.
Grand Duke of the United Provinces, President of the University of Nuer, Honorary Principal of the Gunnery Academy of Nuer, Grand Count of Nuer, Grand Baron of Weissenburg, Supreme Black
Guardian knight of the Order of the Rose, the highest and oldest knight of the Order of Edelweiss, honorary captain of more than a dozen knights of Nur, member of the Imperial Privy Council, honorary captain of the Black Rose Legion...and twenty-one more
Titles." Emilia wiped away her tears as she spit out a long list of titles that could make one feel dizzy.
At the end of the sentence, Amelia herself laughed with tears in her eyes. The little maid raised her head and looked at Ryan: "How is it? Ryan? Your maid is great, right?"
"Well, it's amazing." Ryan knew there was something in Amelia's words.
"So, Ryan, it's not too late for you to divorce Sister Lidya Su!" Emilia's voice gradually became weird, and she seemed to be full of temptation and said in Ryan's ear: "If I marry you
, I can be both an elector and an elector’s wife!”
The little maid's face was filled with blackness. She didn't wait for Ryan to answer, and said with a dark face: "What a pity, Mr. Ryan, you didn't seize the opportunity. I have followed you for so many years, and you didn't touch me!"
"Don't be ridiculous. If I really touch you, Amelia, you will definitely not like me. Am I right?" Ryan looked sideways at his little maid, and he stretched out his hand to squeeze it affectionately.
He pinched Amelia's smooth face and complained: "I know you don't plan to be a maid all your life, you want to be a hostess."
"But the position of the hostess has been taken by Sister Sulia!" Emilia seemed to be a completely different person. She leaned on Ryan's shoulder, and her original pure and sweet voice gradually became mature and wealthy.
That special tone: "That was originally mine, your wife was supposed to be me, Emmanuel of Noor!"
The little maid has changed. What appears in front of Ryan now is a real female noble with grace and elegance. She has light makeup on her face, her face is calm and full of pride, her lips are slightly raised, and her chin is
She raised her head slightly, with an impeccable aristocratic etiquette smile on her face. Every body language of hers contained aristocratic demeanor. If it weren't for the red corners of her eyes and the deep affection in her eyes, Ryan would almost not recognize his little maid.
But this is the real Emilia, or Emmanolly.
As proud as a swan, as elegant as red wine.
Everything before was her disguise. From the beginning of her escape, this girl disguised herself as a hard-working and simple female mercenary who didn't like to talk much.
When she found a safe haven in Lane, she disguised herself as a charming, soft-spoken little maid.
This is all for her own protection. She always carefully protects her secrets and doesn't want others to know.
Emilia stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, and she sighed with regret: "Sister Lidya Su is very good to me. She saw who I am, but she is still so good to me. If it weren't for various reasons, we
We will definitely become good best friends, but it’s a pity that now we can only become good sisters.”
Is there a difference?! Ryan thought to himself.
"So, the Emilia I met before was all fake?" Ryan asked softly.
The room was very quiet. The dark elf Orika was lying on the side listening to the conversation between the two people. She hesitated several times, but finally chose to listen, while Ryan was sitting on the bed holding his little maid, waiting.
her answer.
"It's not all a disguise, Ryan. Being your maid makes me very happy. This is the happiest time in my life." Emilia reached out to untie her silver princess shoes. She kicked them off and revealed a pair of crystal clear shoes.
Her beautiful feet were exposed, and her calves wrapped in white stockings were lightly
Shaking lightly: "Women are naturally different in front of the man they like. What's so strange about this? This dark elf is just a stinking stone in front of others, a fierce woman who doesn't like to say a word, but you still have it here in Ryan
Isn’t it a soft and fragrant pillow?”
"Hmph~!" Orika subconsciously wanted to retort, but the dark elf immediately realized that Emilia was right and could only keep silent.
"Ryan, your rise has really exceeded my expectations. I thought you might be able to become a baron when you were thirty...forget it, it's meaningless to talk about it now." Emilia clasped her hands.
Holding Ryan's big hand and interlocking their fingers, the little maid's eyes flashed with fierce light: "But it is absolutely impossible for me to give up. Ryan, you are so outstanding. With you as the standard, how can I still think highly of you?"
Another man?"
"It's my fault~" Ryan smiled bitterly. He didn't know how to answer this question, so he had to change the subject: "I know your decision, Emilia. It's not like we can't do it after you become the elector and duchess.
We met. Nuer can set up a teleportation array to connect to me. You can just teleport here when you want to come. Nuer's degree of autonomy is already very high. The city council and mayor, as well as the nobles of Wesen Territory can solve the problem.
Many questions..."
"I can come over, why can't you? Ryan." Emilia's tone was unpleasant. She raised her head and kissed Ryan directly on the lips: "An heir, Ryan, I need an heir who can
The heir to my title, and this heir can only be given to me by you."
Another one who wants a child, Ryan cursed in his heart.
His task is a bit heavy.
"I have already discussed the conditions for my return to Nuer with Karl Franz, Elspeth and Theodore. My request is that if you want me to return, my and your illegitimate children in the future must
He is the heir and legal claimant of all my titles!" Emilia grabbed Ryan's collar a little shyly and domineeringly: "Lian, you can't just give it to Sister Sulia and the two witches, I also want to share some.
That’s right, and I want one of those marks on them too!”
"It seems I didn't agree, right?" Ryan said in confusion.
"You won't refuse, because it will benefit you without any harm. If you don't agree, I will marry an old and ugly nobleman, and then I will order and report to you as the elector.
The entire empire is putting pressure on the empire to cut off trade with the knights and all strategic support." Emilia told a terrifying script, and she was even laughing: "Nur is the southern important town and industrial heart of the empire.
Do you think about what choice the emperor would make between other countries and his own people?"
"This is illogical! You can't do this!" Ryan was startled, and he said angrily: "You can't break the trade agreement that was finally signed for this reason. You are destroying the Alliance of Order and letting Chaos and
Evil forces have an opportunity to take advantage of it!"
"Don't talk logic to women, Ryan." Emilia looked convinced of Ryan, with a confident smile on her delicate and pure face: "You are a hero of mankind. In order to protect the interests of mankind,
You only need to make a small concession to save the whole situation. Ryan, please let me beg you. I have been your maid for so many years, so just promise me~"
Then, Emilia whispered in a pleading tone in Ryan's ear: "Give me a child, Ryan. In the future, you will be the father of the Grand Duke of Nour and the Elector of Brescia. I don't really want to be elected emperor."
Or the Grand Duchess, during the long period of fleeing and following you, I have long been tired of those noble things, but I know that you need my help, and I am willing to help you."
"You have chosen me, Emilia." Ryan understands Emilia just as Emilia understands him, not to mention that the two have been together for many years and have both emotional foundation and interests.
Combined, Amelia expected Ryan to be unable to refuse: "What about your answer?"
Ryan pondered for a long time and finally nodded heavily.
The hot midnight of midsummer night gradually comes to an end, and the dreams are shattered like bubbles, leaving only reality and promises.
