Chapter 8 (1/2)
”What are you talking about?”
Donne suspected that he had heard wrong.
”You heard me right, because you saved a lot of people and helped captain Ronnie repel the mountain bandits, so the Lord decided to entertain you both in the evening. At the same time, you can prove your identity to the Lord.”
The private captain said with a straight face, ”it's dinner time soon. Please prepare and go to the Lord's house for a banquet.”
Helped Ronnie repel the mountain bandits?
Donne was speechless, and Fiona was even more angry: ”it's shameless. It's obviously Donne's credit. How dare you brazenly rob him of his credit!”
The private captain ignored Fiona directly, glanced at Donne and left directly.
Donne was thoughtful, and a cynical smile came out of the corner of his mouth: ”interesting.”
He noticed that the private soldier turned his eyes on the extremely effective life potion for several times before leaving.
Fiona said in a deep voice, ”the Lord must have other ideas.”
”Of course, his private captain looked extremely effective... The greedy eyes of the goddess's blood had already exposed their ideas.”
Tang en shrugged his shoulders and couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He never thought that he would be coveted by others because of a bottle of life potion.
At this time, Donne saw Elia running quickly. The little girl seemed a little anxious and almost fell to the ground. Donne quickly stepped forward and held her.
Elia blushed and said, ”big brother, Alberton's father is back. Sister Elsa said he wanted to see you and asked you not to leave here.”
”Father Alberton?”
”It's Elsa's sister's father.”
Elijah said with a natural look, ”I'm not mom and dad's child.”
Donne was stunned: ”are you an orphan?”
Elia looked at Donne strangely: ”no, I have Elsa sister.”
Donne was stunned. After a moment, he patted Elia's head and said with a smile, ”well, yes, I'll be your family in the future. I'll take care of you and protect you.”
Elia blushed at the speech, lowered her head and played with her fingers.
Does big brother want to marry Elia? But, but it's a little too early. I'm only twelve years old. Besides, I haven't liked my big brother yet... But if he really said that, what should Elia do?
When Elia cleared her mind and summoned up the courage to refuse Donne, at least temporarily, she found that Donne was gone.
The little girl was immediately discouraged.
Donne didn't notice Elia's abnormality. He had seen Elsa, so he went over.
The middle-aged man with a face of vicissitudes walking beside Elsa must be Elsa's father Alberton.
”Brother Donne, this is my father Alberton!”
Elsa happily introduced Donne: ”Dad, this is brother Donne who saved a lot of people.”
After staring at Donne for a while, Alberton stepped forward cautiously. Just when Donne wondered what he wanted to do, suddenly, Alberton knelt down on one knee in front of Donne!
Elsa, Elia and the surrounding residents were stunned.
”Dad!?”
Elsa lost her voice and exclaimed, ”what are you doing?”
Alberton bowed his head slightly and said in a deep voice, ”I thank the Lord for the kindness of all the residents of Ellington.”
He's really the new Lord!?
Elsa and Elia were even more stupid.
There was an uproar around. What did Alberton just say? feudal lord? The man who saved Ellington is really our new Lord!?
”How could it be... How could the nobles save our civilians? It must be a mistake.”
”Did Alberton read it wrong?”
Don couldn't help asking, ”do you know me?”
”I just got back from arlinks.”
After hearing what Alberton said, Donne understood. I'm afraid the news of his own purchase of territory spread in arlinks, so Alberton heard it.
”If our new Lord is you, I'm afraid we don't have to worry about anything.”
Alberton smiled: ”a lord willing to treat civilians with such precious treasures, I believe you will manage Ellington well.”
”Get up first...”
Donne helped Alberton up. His behavior undoubtedly told those around him that what Alberton said was the truth.
Donne is really the new Lord of Ellington.
What great strength!
A look of surprise flashed in Alberton's eyes as Donne helped him up.
Not far away, Hogg's private soldiers were all dumbfounded when they saw such an incredible turn. After being stunned for a while, they immediately ran back to report the news to Hogg.
”Is that true...”
