Chapter 1126

The conversation between the people at the next table seemed to have some kind of magic power, causing all Ron's movements to stop.

The hand that raised the spoon into the air, the mouth that was chewing the food—these movements all stopped.

——Pendragon…

Ron sighed in his mind.

——The fighting over there has been so brutal...

——So many people have died defending Pendragon and this country...

"I don't know if our Lord the Duke agrees to support Pendragon..." - What the miner just said kept echoing in Ron's mind.

This sentence was like a needle, pricking Ron's heart every time it was echoed.

While my chest felt stinging, the feeling of tightness accumulated in my chest also became heavier...

"Father...Father...Father?"

A small white hand waved in front of Ron's eyes.

Thanks to the little hand, Ron's attention returned to reality.

Only now did Ron realize that Bailis had been calling him just now.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Bai Lisi slightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows, "Why are you so stunned?"

"……nothing."

After making a fuss and getting rid of Bailis, Ron put the soup spoon that had been holding up in the air into his mouth. Continue to sweep the food on the table.

…

…

How he had dinner in this restaurant and then returned to the Duke's Mansion - after returning to his room, Ron was surprised to find that he could no longer remember all the details of these things.

Trance - this word is perfect to describe Ron just now.

Although he had been hunting for a long time in the hunting ground today and had sweated a lot, Ron was not in the mood to take a shower at this time.

Lean your body back,

He lay down directly on the bed.

——Ahh... damn...

Ron felt that the tightness in his chest was getting worse and worse.

He didn't understand what was going on with the tight feeling in his chest.

This increasingly "heavy" feeling of congestion has been tormenting him and making him feel upset.

at this time--

Knock knock knock.

There was a gentle knock on the other side of the door.

Ron turned his head and cast a suspicious look at the door.

——At this time...who is it? Is it a maid?

After clearing his throat, Ron asked outside the door:

"who?"

"Father, it's me."

——Bliss?

After seeing that the person who came was actually his eldest daughter, Ron couldn't help but his eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Bailis had always been quite rough when knocking on his door.

It was rare to knock on his door with such a gentle gesture like this.

"The door is unlocked." Ron said softly, "Push the door open and come in by yourself."

…

…

Ron, who sat up from the bed, cast his doubtful eyes at Bailis in front of him.

Bailis did not change her clothes, she was still wearing the same activity-friendly clothes that she wore when we went hunting together today.

"Bliss." Ron asked first, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

"Father."

Standing in front of Ron's bed, Bai Lisi said bluntly without making too many pleasantries:

"You've been acting weird all day today."

"The reason why you are like this is because you are worried about how to respond to the central government's request for troops. Am I right?"

After hearing what Bailis said, a look of astonishment flashed across Ron's face.

Then, the look of astonishment on his face quickly dissipated.

——Bliss discovered that I have been in a strange state today...

——But no wonder, it would be strange not to be discovered by Bai Lisi. I can feel that many of my actions today are not natural...

Although what Bailis just said was not accurate, it was not too far off, so Ron chose to remain silent as acquiescence.

Seeing Ron's acquiescence, Bailis sighed softly:

"Father, I have always asked you to devote all your efforts to support the central government - does my request put too much pressure on you?"

"Of course not!" Ron retorted loudly and subconsciously.

As soon as he said the words, Ron's eyes flashed with confusion.

Because he himself didn't know why he said this subconsciously just now.

"Father……"

Paris did not respond to Ron's rebuttal, but continued:

"Should we fully support the central government, or treat it perfunctorily? Father, you have hesitated on this issue for so long, so it must be a difficult decision, right?"

Ron said nothing.

However, his silence at this time was equivalent to answering the question that Bailis had just asked.

It's not just Ron.

Even Bailis fell silent after asking the question just now.

Silence enveloped the room.

After a while, Bai Lisi's voice finally sounded in the room again:

"...Father, I don't know how to help you."

"But I know the reason why you are so troubled is for everyone."

"I want to protect the best interests of everyone in the duchy, and I also want to help the central government as much as possible."

"Father, I have decided."

Bailis said seriously.

"I won't keep yelling and asking you to fully support the central government."

"Father, you can make your own judgment."

"Make the choice you think is right."

After that, Paris said no more.

She turned and left Ron's room.

Only Ron was left in the room.

Even after Paris left the room, the surprise on Ron's face did not disappear.

Ron raised his hand involuntarily and covered his chest.

Because at this time, Ron felt very magically that the stuffiness in his chest seemed to have become much smaller.

And these changes appeared after listening to Paris's words just now.

...

...

The second day -

Patta...

The drizzle hit the windowsill, splashing pieces of water mist. The clouds were so low that it was hard to breathe.

Ron, who was awakened by the sound of the pattering rain, slightly opened his eyes and cast an unhappy look at the raindrops falling outside the window.

Because Ron hated rainy days the most.

Especially such rainy days with extremely low dark clouds.

Such rainy days would make Ron feel depressed.

Ron pulled back the quilt covering himself and sat up.

Just as he was about to call the maid who had been guarding outside the door to help him wash and dress, an old, anxious shout rang out outside the door:

"Your Excellency! Your Excellency!"

The owner of this voice was the old butler who had served the Duke of Connaught for many years.

The old butler called him in such an anxious voice early in the morning, which made Ron feel a little confused.

"What's wrong?" Ron asked loudly outside the door.

"Your Excellency!"

The old butler's anxious voice sounded outside the door again:

"The official envoys from the central government are here! They will arrive at the Duke's Mansion in about half an hour!"
