Chapter 805 (2/2)
In the corner of the table for six, an old father with gray hair because he was often busy with his work picked up his glass and took a sip. Then, he took a piece of paper from one of his entourage's hands, looked at it, gently nodded and handed it back to the entourage for treatment.
Soon, only the old father, the food, the exquisite light and
The one sitting opposite him, dressed in a formal court gentleman's dress, but with his head down, didn't seem to want to see his father's son at all.
”Has the new competition... Come out?”
The tear moles in the corners of his eyes set off this beautiful facial features, but when he said these words, his head still didn't lift up.
The old man glanced at his son, but now he can only see his son's forehead. He frowned a little and said in a stern tone: ”man, how can you not look at each other's forehead and eyes when talking? Raise your head. ”
The boy opposite trembled a little, then raised his head and looked at his father.
”So... The competition came out... Right?”
Once again, the boy seemed to care only about the so-called competition. When he said these words, his fist was clenched involuntarily, as if he was trying to suppress the excitement in his heart.
The old father looked at his son silently and said slowly, ”two tasks. If you finish any of them, you can continue to participate in the next game. If neither is completed, it will be eliminated. However, you should know that I won't let you participate in the competition until you can realize your problems. ”
The delicate face was slightly twisted, and the slightly pink lips opened gently. It seemed that he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it again.
When his son stopped talking, the old father said, ”don't think so much. Eat quickly. These are your favorite foods. Your mother managed to do it -- ”
”Mom is dead... She has been dead for a long time...”
The boy gently bit his lower lip and spoke these words slowly with a little resentment.
For his son to say such words, the old father's eyes showed a little sadness. He helplessly cut off a piece of meat, put it into his mouth, chewed it twice and said, ”your disease is really getting worse and worse. Your mother is fine. She's just a little afraid to see you. ”
”... I'm not crazy.” The young man's voice trembled a little, ”so, will you be the crazy one from beginning to end?”
The old father shook his head gently and said slowly, ”none of us is crazy, and no one in our family is dead. I just hope your illness can get better as soon as possible. Don't have such strange ideas again. Your behavior has made your members feel a little terrible. Although sometimes it is necessary for the president to establish a certain prestige before he belongs to the lower level, we must master that degree. ”
The boy's head dropped down again.
”Raise your head and have a good meal. How can a man be so weak?”
Scolded by his father, the boy could only look up again and look at the exquisite food in front of him, but he couldn't eat a mouthful.
After a long time, he looked at the opposite father again and said in an almost begging tone: ”when can I... Participate in the competition? Father, I promise you... I won't do this again... ”
The old father looked as like as two peas, and his son's face was very much like his mother, especially the tear lole on the corner of his eyes.
But unfortunately, he is not as strong and brave as his mother. Originally, he thought that under this slightly feminine appearance, he could cultivate a man's heart. But unexpectedly, things often go wrong in unexpected places.
”Your Highness has come to you.”
The old father took a sip of wine and continued——
”I have promised her for you to meet the princess at the tea party next week. You need to adjust your attitude and show all your charm. ”
The boy was slightly stunned, but then he didn't turn his head.
Since he is going to meet the princess who is always pestering him next week, it is naturally impossible for him to participate in the selection of the guild championship.
”He doesn't know much about you, so you'd better make a good impression on the princess. There are many princes and nobles who want to marry our princess these days, but you are still the first person to let the princess take the initiative to visit. Therefore, you should always understand how precious your face and your body are, okay? ”
The boy breathed out a deep breath, just like summoning up courage, and gently muttered, ”I... Don't want to marry the princess...”
