Chapter 877 (1/2)

”He changed his family name? What happened?” Roland frowned

”Probably because it's easier to e the territory all by hi particular attention to soe amount of money to live a decent life If one isn't really capable ofdomestic affairs, his domain would be a burden rather than an asset”

”Could it be possible that he was compelled? For example, somebody wanted to take his land by force?”

The earl replied meditatively, ”Not very likely I've seen theh I didn't really talk to theed his surname, seems to be pretty happy with the Somis I don't see he was forced by any means If you want to know about this, I can send for Viscount Dott Somi”

”That's fine” Roland interrupted hiale's whispery instructions ”I was just curious Not a big deal But it appears that the Gilen didn't show up this tinized him if his brother Hyde had attended the banquet

The senior lord clapped his hand over his chest and said apologetically, ”That'sout invitations”

Roland ih the Gilen had changed his name and become a branch of the Somis, he was still not considered for a place on the invitation list Although the boo industry in Silver City sti the city more or less similar to City of Glow in terms of its livelihood and style, people in here apparently attached greater importance to wealth and power than titles and reputations Willialory and pride of the Gilen Family had almost diminished and faded out of people's memories

Roland knew Hyde had inherited his father's viscount title after the departure of Nightingale

It was really pathetic to see him be reduced to such poverty

Roland returned to the caale revealed herself and explained voluntarily, ”Your Majesty, youinto Hyde's business Ever since I left Silver City, I've severed all relationshi+ps with the Gilens Please trust me I was just, just a little surprised at that time”

Roland could barely suppress the urge to tease Nightingale when he saw the latter try to convince hied his ale's incredible obstinacy, for he did not like to seek trouble As such, he sihed and nodded airily ”I know You never lie to ard”

”You don't believe ale retorted immediately

Apparently, his reply was not quite convincing, for Nightingale had discerned thetone of his remark with her ability He thus took a deep breath and cleared his mind Then he looked into her eyes and said more seriously, ”I believe you”

This tiale's turn to feel abashed A rosy blush rose to her cheeks She i to do with the person who betrayed me”

Although Roland wanted to tell her that it was normal to show so along in this situation So, he asked, ”Why were you surprised?”

”The Soale replied in a low voice ”After my father passed away, they often came to see me at the old Gilen mansion However, after my family knew I'd become a witch, old Gilen forbade me to see them I didn't expect that Viscount Somi would adopt Hyde”

Roland, who had lived in this world for soiood terale's brother revive the house after the decease of old Gilen Indeed, it was coain its power The latter would then return his benefactor with incessant wealth and even further a union through the e of their children It was a kind deed people loved to talk about

Yet to ask the sole heir to change his surname would be a totally different story

That meant the end of the Gilen bloodline as well as their viscount title
