Chapter 169: Old Gay Friends Who Fell in Love and Killed Each Other

Aubrey and Adrian grew up together, and their grudges can be summed up in one sentence.

Fall in love and kill each other.

Yes, although they are now the patriarch of the Foel family and the patriarch of the Bollet family respectively, when they were children, the two of them were tortured by their families since they were young. The strange thing is that Aubrey's parents think Adrien is very good. And Adrian's parents thought Aubrey was very good, and they were both very dissatisfied with each other after being constantly tortured.

And because the Foyle family and the Bollet family are neighbors, they have been competing secretly. From childhood toys, learning, etiquette, and later training, combat skills, equipment, and love, during this period, Adrian has always been stable. Aubrey, who was at the top, miraculously moved back one round, which was also the decisive round.

He wins Parola's heart.

So from then on, Adrian could no longer be proud.

If the first half of his life was a time when Adrian was proud, then the second half of his life was when Aubrey was proud.

Princess Parola married him, which brought great glory to the Aubrey family. Her and Aubrey's son Abaddon was also extremely outstanding. What made Aubrey the most secretly was that his son Abaddon Got Adrian's daughter.

Unfortunately, they later left the imperial capital because of certain things, and Abaddon even gave up his inheritance rights, which always made Oberry very angry.

"You are cruel! Just wait for me! Sooner or later I will kick your ass hard - just like I did back then!"

Adrian cursed and ran back to his home. He didn't want to lose his grace in front of Parola.

Although he failed to gain her favor, Adrien did not want to lose his grace in front of her. This was a man's insistence.

Or there is a darker explanation - the better he performs, the more Parola will regret not marrying him in the first place, the more entangled and painful her heart will be, and the happier he will be.

"Old man, you can run fast! Otherwise, just wait and see!"

Aubrey laughed wildly. He must return all the grievances he had suffered in the first half of his life to Adrian before he died. It would be uncomfortable if he didn't vent it out!

Parola still looked so elegant: "As you age, can't you two sit down and chat calmly?"

"Of course not!"

Aubrey inserted the giant sword into the ground, snorted and said, "This guy is still trying to figure you out. I've been guarding against him for a long time!"

Parola covered her face and chuckled: "Don't talk nonsense, you are already old... If Erica hears it, Adrian will have another headache."

"I don't care if he dies..."

Aubrey muttered and took a sip of black tea. He was suddenly startled when he saw a young man running over in a hurry.

"Grandpa Aubrey, so you are here, ah, and Grandma Parola."

Of course it was Kevin who hurried over. After discovering Elsa's identity, he suddenly became nervous, so he was very eager to see Aubrey and the others before Elsa, at least. Earn an impression first.

"Kevin, you're here."

Aubrey nodded lukewarmly. Kevin was the grandson of his uncle Charles, and their relationship was very distant. Speaking of which, this was the second time they had met.

As for why Aubrey is so cold... it's because he's angry.

That's right, if it wasn't for him and he couldn't help it, he wouldn't have found Kevin at all.

Aubrey had reached the age where he had to designate an heir. Originally Abaddon was the best choice, but he was hiding in Ellington, not wanting to inherit the title or come back to inherit the identity of the patriarch.

But apart from Alberton, Aubrey looked around the immediate circle and suddenly realized in despair that there was no other candidate!

The empire has very strict selection criteria for heirs to dukes and noble families. Those who already hold imperial titles are not eligible, those over forty years old are not eligible, and women who are already married are not eligible...

After being filtered by various rules, the glory of the dignified Foel family is about to fall to the point where no one can inherit it!

A while ago, he earnestly called Abadon back, but after the two secretly talked, to everyone's surprise, Obery gave up forcing Abaddon and instead let him go.

Later, Aubrey thought hard for a long time, and after expanding the screening scope again and again, Kevin Foyle came into his sight.

Kevin, whose bloodline is very thin, is actually the only person currently qualified to inherit the title...

Even though Aubrey was very unhappy, he had no choice but to accept it for the sake of the continuation of the Foel family.

"I specially brought you two some specialties and spices from Taris. I have asked the housekeeper to put them away. Grandma Parola, you must try them."

Kevin had a deliberately flattering smile on his face. As a branch of the Foel family, although their lineage also has a good status in the Taris territory, compared with the Foel family in the imperial capital, the gap is too big. .

Not to mention that he was lucky enough to get the chance to inherit the title of Aubrey this time. Therefore, no matter how arrogant and arrogant Kevin usually is, he can only put his tail between his legs and smile in front of Aubrey.

snort!

Aubrey frowned slightly, and his impression of Kevin became even worse.

As a man, when you speak, you can't hold your chest up and look upright, but you always have an exaggerated smile. What does it look like?

After all, Aubrey had spent his entire life in the military and was born in the military. He had both the arrogance of a noble and the ruffianism of a soldier, but no matter what, he preferred the manly spirit of standing tall and holding his chest high.

"Kevin boy."

Aubrey said very rudely: "You should also understand why I called you here. To tell you frankly, I was very disappointed after meeting you."

Kevin's face turned pale and he subconsciously exclaimed: "Why!?"

"Why?"

Aubrey scolded: "If you want to inherit the glory of the Foel family, show some real skills! Even if you don't know anything or understand anything, you still have to work hard - but look at you How does this look look like a man!?"

"Hug, sorry..."

Kevin was in a hurry and said with a guilty look on his face: "Grandpa, when I was on the road a few days ago, I met the Necromancer, so I have always been a little scared..."

"What happened a few days ago, how can you still be afraid now? Are you a loser?"

Aubrey frowned: "And didn't you survive? Since you survived, what is there to be afraid of!?"

"B-but..."

Kevin found that he couldn't communicate well with this grandfather at all...the generation gap was too big.

Aubrey is a general and a warrior, but what about Kevin? He is just an aristocratic young man who relies on the lingering shadow of his ancestors. It would be okay if the two of them were direct relatives, but they are already distant relatives, so how can they have such tolerance?

"Aubrey! Be patient!"

Parola shouted, and Aubrey took a deep breath, and then tried to control his emotions: "Sorry, Kevin, my attitude is a bit worse - you should go back and have a rest. Regarding the designated inheritance, I’ll go talk to you later.”

Although Kevin wanted Aubrey to nod immediately to confirm the matter, but after seeing Aubrey's expression, Kevin swallowed his words.

endure! You must be patient!

If you are too eager, you will lose points!

At this time, especially at this critical juncture, the more insignificant the details, the more points!

Use your brain! Kevin!

"I understand, Grandpa Aubrey."

Kevin nodded respectfully, and then said with a smile: "Grandma Parola, are you tired from sitting? Can I give you a squeeze on your shoulders?"

Parola smiled and said, "Okay."

Kevin was overjoyed and was about to move over, but unexpectedly, Aubrey suddenly appeared in front of him, his face almost touching his.

Aubrey scolded with a dark face: "You little brat, get out of here and rest, don't take my job!"

Kevin's face froze, and he could only stand aside dejectedly, watching Aubrey massage Parola very considerately.

Although Aubrey is known for his bad temper, Parola's love and consideration are the only thing that everyone who knows will give a thumbs up.

Kevin stood nearby and said, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally: "Grandpa Aubrey, when we passed through Chenmist Town a few days ago, we found that all the residents in that town were massacred by necromancers. My guards tried their best to After getting rid of the Necromancer, if possible, I would like to apply for an honorary title for my captain of the bodyguard..."

"Morning Mist Town? Necromancer?"

Aubrey paused and frowned: "Morning Mist Town sounds familiar... Wait, I remembered it. It's a small town... but it's so close to Alexis, and there's actually a Necromancer? "

"We were surprised too."

Kevin shamelessly took the credit for Tang En and the others: "But since we encountered it, of course we couldn't avoid it, so we dealt with the necromancer. It's a pity that the captain of the guard and the others died..."

"Yes, this guy is a real warrior."

While massaging Parola's shoulders, Aubrey nodded and said: "I agree to this matter, Lord Honorary. You go and tell the butler, compile a document and give it to him, and he will help you apply to the Noble Council. "

"Thank you Grandpa Aubrey!"

Kevin smiled. Of course he didn't care about Lords of Honor, and he certainly didn't care about dead people, but he didn't mind using them to increase his status in Aubrey's heart.

With this incident as the foundation, the atmosphere between Kevin and Aubrey finally became lively. The three of them began to chat casually, and gradually became familiar with each other.

Seeing things getting better and better, and the smile on Kevin's face getting brighter and brighter, Tang En and Elsa finally found this place.

Then the smile disappeared from Kevin's face.

It's like eating a big fly.
