Chapter 98: The Senior is Brilliant p2
“This is Viscount and Viscountess Laurist, and this is Miss Winnie. I think you should be very familiar with each other, right?”
Half an hour later, outside the mobile palace, Kailun suppressed a smile as he introduced everyone.
The Laurist family stared at each other, looking embarrassed.
Especially Winnie, she directly covered her pretty little face with her hands, really too ashamed to see anyone.
She had asked her parents to take the family and flee, but they chose to flee to the Kingdom of Malaga.
Even if they chose to flee to the Kingdom of Malaga, they were still unlucky enough to run into Kailun.
How could this make sense?
Forget it, Winnie decided to give up. Anyway, life couldn’t get any worse, so she might as well just go with it.
Tired, sleepy, might as well lie down and enjoy it.
“Actually, we already know each other.” Viscount Laurist scratched his face awkwardly. “Winnie is my daughter. Didn’t you send an assassin to our house to propose marriage some time ago?”
He knew that Kailun sincerely wanted to see them make a fool of themselves, so he had to go along with what Kailun said.
Mrs. Laurist, who was standing aside, only dared to pull her husband’s sleeve and didn’t dare to say a word.
Her eyes kept looking at her daughter, Winnie. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn’t open her mouth.
“Oh, look at my memory. I actually forgot such an important matter. My bad, my bad.” Kailun patted his head and showed a apologetic expression.
Just when Viscount Laurist thought that this matter could be brushed aside, Kailun suddenly asked, “I wonder why Viscount Laurist sneaked into the Kingdom of Malaga with his whole family. Could it be that you want to betray your country?”
“No, absolutely not!”
Hearing Kailun’s dangerous words, Viscount Laurist trembled all over and knelt down directly.
But Kailun stepped forward and helped him up: “There’s no need to kneel. Although Winnie’s status at home is not high, she is still a member of my family. If you kneel down casually, she may not work seriously in the future.”
In front of Winnie’s parents, Kailun symbolically saved some face for Winnie.
Perhaps it was because of his actions that Winnie cast a surprised look at him through her fingers.
[Winnie’s attitude towards you has changed. Favorability +5, Current total favorability -85]
However, this special goodwill only lasted for a few seconds before she heard Kailun’s nonsense again.
Kailun: “But let’s talk about the matter at hand. For this crime of treason, those who should be beheaded should be beheaded, and those who should be cut at the waist should be cut at the waist.”
Hearing this, Viscount Laurist’s legs went weak. If Kailun hadn’t been holding him, he might have already collapsed on the ground.
“Thump!”
However, Winnie, who was standing next to Kailun, had no one to help her, and she fell straight to the ground in fright.
Kailun wouldn’t really kill them all, would he?
She grabbed Kailun’s trousers uneasily, wanting to beg for his mercy.
Let alone resisting, as long as Kailun could let her family go, she would be willing to meet all of Kailun’s demands.
Pushing Viscount Laurist to Mrs. Laurist’s side, Kailun reached out and pulled Winnie up from the ground: “Don’t panic, I didn’t say Viscount Laurist betrayed the country. Since he was able to raise such an obedient daughter as Winnie, I think Viscount Laurist will definitely not betray the country, right?”
Viscount Laurist: “???”
The tables had turned, he didn’t betray the country?
Whether it was true or not, Viscount Laurist nodded repeatedly along with Kailun’s words: “Right, right, right, that’s right, we just took our family on a trip. We planned to come back after playing for a while. I didn’t expect that we would encounter an accident and have to come back.”
“A trip, that’s easy. I wonder if Viscount Laurist would like to travel to the Rose Kingdom?” Kailun wrapped his arm around Winnie’s slender waist and let her lean against him to stand firm.
“But, isn’t the Kingdom of Xiya still at war with the Rose Kingdom?” Viscount Laurist’s expression changed.
Kailun: “Indeed, we are at war, but this does not prevent the friendly exchanges and cooperation between our two countries, at least not for the next month. If Viscount Laurist has any relevant ideas, I can promote you to the rank of Earl and let you cooperate with Philip, the shopkeeper of the Magic Shop. I need someone to do something special for me. I wonder if Viscount Laurist is willing to take on this task. If you do it well, I can promise you the title of Marquis.”
Listening to Kailun’s words, Viscount Laurist became more and more confused. He looked at his daughter, Winnie, and found that she also had a confused look on her face.
“This opportunity only comes once. If Viscount Laurist continues to hesitate, I can only give this good thing to Phils’ family.”
Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Kailun urged again.
Because there were limited people he could use, he had to keep arranging things downwards.
Compared to those unfamiliar people, he was more willing to use these families whose weaknesses he had grasped.
As long as Laurist’s family was kept in the royal city, he would not have the heart to rebel. If he could really handle the matters he had arranged, the benefits would easily allow him to accumulate the foundation of a marquis.
Because she was nervous, Winnie subconsciously hugged Kailun’s arm.
Experience told her that this man was full of bad intentions and could not be trusted, but her instincts told her that this was a good thing.
“I… I agree!” Viscount Laurist hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and agreeing.
At this point, he didn’t have many choices. Compared to being beheaded, he was more willing to gamble.
If he succeeded, he would bring honor to his ancestors and enjoy glory for generations. The title of marquis was a temptation he could not refuse.
“A wise choice. I will have someone escort you and your family back to the royal city later, and then Shopkeeper Philip will contact you. Now you can make preparations. Don’t worry about Winnie’s safety. Although I am not a good person, I will not hurt her.”
Kailun turned his head and asked Winnie with a smile, “Am I right, Winnie?”
“Ah? Oh, yes, that’s right.”
Winnie, who had just come back to her senses, nodded. She looked at the Laurist couple and said, “You guys go quickly, I eat well, drink well, sleep well… sleep well here, so you don’t have to worry about me. We had some misunderstandings before and our relationship wasn’t very good, but now we’ve talked it through and everyone is fine.”
Afraid that her parents would worry, Winnie explained a little more.
Although Mrs. Laurist was very worried about her daughter, she left with Viscount Laurist after his persuasion.
The next step of the plan was about to begin, and Kailun didn’t have time to keep Mrs. Laurist here to reminisce with her daughter. They needed a lot of time to complete the task.
The family of a viscount was barely enough. After all, this was not a war but a business. What he needed was not Viscount Laurist’s ability, but his identity as an ordinary viscount.
As for the implementation of the relevant work, it would be done by Shopkeeper Philip. This man was a genius in business.
It was just a pity that Philip in his previous life had directly switched jobs because of the changes in Kailun’s family.
Looking at the receding figures of her parents, Winnie tugged on Kailun’s arm and said, “What you just said is true, right?”
Kailun shrugged: “What made you think I like to lie? This has to change, suspecting me is not a good habit.”
Winnie: “Oh…”
Trying to hear a word of truth from Kailun’s mouth was as difficult as getting a bull to give milk.
“Speaking of which, your performance in the past few days has been very good, worthy of praise, so your treatment has been improved, you can sleep in bed at night.”
Kailun rubbed Winnie’s long black hair and smiled.
“Is there anything else?” Winnie smiled for some reason.
“No more, if you want better treatment, fight for it yourself. It’s already a loss for me to give such a good job to your family. When I see Phils later, she might even scold me for being biased.”
After messing up Winnie’s hair, Kailun walked towards the mobile palace.
Looking at Kailun’s back, Winnie followed him without thinking this time.
[Winnie thinks that you are occasionally trustworthy. Favorability +25, Total favorability -60]
Perhaps because her expectations were too low, even such a small favor made Winnie’s favorability increase by a lot.
Kailun couldn’t help but reflect in his heart, what kind of devil was he in Winnie’s heart?
The case was solved, she was slandering him in her heart, he would continue to bully her tonight.
“Hiss~”
Winnie, who was walking behind, suddenly felt a little cold, and couldn’t help but hug herself.
