Chapter 138 (2/2)
He hesitated for a moment and said, ”I see. I will discuss this matter with the king's parliament later and give you an answer after the wine festival. What do you think?”
”Of course.”
Donne promised very readily. Of course, it would be best if he could achieve three goals this trip.
Even if he couldn't reach a deal in metal and copper, he could still trade with the nobles who owned copper mines in the ilrus Empire, but it was obviously not comfortable to deal with those nobles and straightforward dwarves.
However, looking at the current situation, at least the recruitment of dwarf employees and the development of asphalt lake should not be a problem.
After these two things were settled, durandon looked at the wronged Brian again and said coldly, ”for Mr. Donne's sake, forgive you this time. If you dare to humiliate our people again, you'll wait to be locked up!”
In the face of such a strong and talented son, Brian is unreasonable and can't fight again. What else can he say? I have no choice but to accept my fate.
It makes Abram happy.
At least, now in the hammer family, it's durandon's decision, not the flat Brian. I don't think he will suffer any crime after his daughter is married.
Several people returned to the outside to celebrate like those who had nothing to do. Brian looked wronged and deliberately kept winking at his wife Selma and her future second daughter-in-law Tess. Unfortunately, they were all useless. Selma knew what he was. Selma ignored him at all, and Tess only had durandon in her eyes now. Where did she care about Brian?
So Brian had to hide and drink.
The dinner didn't last long, because tomorrow was the wine festival, which was the real event to celebrate, so everyone felt that it would end almost later, and Donne was arranged to rest at the hammer house.
”Hoo...”
After returning to the room, Donne closed the door and a teleportation returned to Lord Ellington's house, which was a long relief.
Because of his thrilling experience in cinder village, he dared not sleep there again. When Wan got up together, he found another dwarf woman on the bed, and he would be scared to death.
”These guys can really drink...”
Donne rubbed his temples with a tangled face. Although they didn't drink much ale, they would get drunk if they drank too much, especially Donne's drinking capacity was actually very average.
After looking at the sky, Donne estimated that Fiona might not be asleep, so he went to the study to find her. As a result, Fiona was not in the study. After giving out magic induction, Donne found that she had returned to the bedroom, but didn't sleep.
Donne came to Fiona's bedroom and just wanted to push the door in, but he stopped and knocked on the door.
”Tina? You're here. Didn't I tell you to come straight in and knock on the door?”
Fiona opened the door and walked inside without looking at it.
Donne was embarrassed when he saw Fiona. Unexpectedly, he was so careful, but he still encountered an embarrassing scene.
Fiona is wearing a very simple one-piece nightdress at the moment. It's summer, so the style of the nightdress is very... Saving cloth, which makes Donne basically see everything he should and shouldn't see. Those two big white legs are dazzling under the irradiation of the magic crystal lamp, which makes Donne, who is used to seeing dwarf women these days, very uneasy.
”Tina?”
Fiona waited for a while but didn't hear Tina's voice. She turned her head and found that there was no one at the door.
”Strange...”
Donne, who was hiding outside, had a cold sweat. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough. At this time, he had an idea. He deliberately walked quickly from a distance and shouted, ”Fiona? Fiona, did you sleep?”
”Lord? I haven't - wait! Don't come in yet!”
Fiona screamed, rushed over and closed the doors.
”Fiona?”
Donne asked deliberately, ”what are you doing? I have good news for you!”
”Wait a minute!”
Fiona hurriedly put on a dress to cover her exposed skin. Then she opened the door and let Donne in. If she looked carefully, she would find that her head was down, her face was red and her nose was sweating.
”Is there anything you have to say at this time?”
Fiona closes the door, subconsciously pulls her clothes, and deliberately asks Donne, ”can't we talk about it tomorrow?”
”I have to go back tomorrow. The wine festival will be held tomorrow, and the dwarf king durandon will be tomorrow... By the way, guess what the relationship between the dwarf king durandon and Brian is?”
Fiona was stunned: ”is there a relationship between them? Wait, let me guess... Is Brian the dwarf prince?”
Fiona looked incredible: ”we won't be so lucky, will we?”
”Sorry, you guessed wrong.”
Donne pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a strange smile: ”dwarf king durandon... Is Brian's son, and Brian... Was the last dwarf king.”
Not surprisingly, Fiona was silly there. A moment later, she suddenly exclaimed, ”he? Brian? Former king? Son? How is this possible?”
