Chapter 397

Since Katerina is the queen's sister, why is her membership unknown in the royal capital? Where has she been for so many years? What happened?

A series of questions popped up in his head. Rin suppressed his curiosity, seemed to have come back to his senses, and spoke calmly.

"I already know this. Hulan Fenix ​​has brought people here before, but he kept talking and couldn't provide any evidence, so I thought he was making trouble and drove them away."

Rin's words were very straightforward, and the scene was silent for two seconds. Eve showed a thoughtful look on her face, trying to understand the key to the problem. At that time, the eldest princess glanced at Katarina with a strange look, and then Quick resumption of admission.

Catalina sighed: "Hu Lan is so rude. We should have talked about this matter in private. Now everyone knows about it, and it's even more difficult to handle."

Lin's expression remained unchanged: "Does His Highness want him to join the Phoenix family?"

"Exactly, he is originally from your family."

"This is simple. You only need to conduct a bloodline power test. Our family will not let any bloodline escape."

Catalina just looked happy when she heard Rin continue: "But whether he belongs to our family has yet to be verified and is waiting for the fortune teller to confirm."

"Rin, don't you believe me? How could I just bring someone here?!"

Her originally kind face became a little more stern, and the majesty of the royal family was still there.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but as the main lineage, many people have always been watching. Recognizing one's relatives rashly will cause dissatisfaction among other members of the family."

Eve came to the rescue: "Yes, Auntie, the Phoenix family is currently in a state of unrest, and some unscrupulous people are watching. It's better to be cautious when we are on the cusp of the storm."

Catalina's expression relaxed a little: "That makes sense, but we still need to quickly bring this child into the family. He has been living with me all these years, which is really pitiful."

"That's natural."

Rin and Eve exchanged glances, their attitude became a little gentler, and the atmosphere was not as tense as before.

Sheryl held Catalina's hand, feeling a little distressed: "It seems that my sister has not had a good life these years. This time... don't leave again, stay in the royal capital."

Catalina looked at her sister's sincere expression, lowered her eyes, and smiled reluctantly. She didn't know how to answer, but Elise happened to be here at this moment, which made her feel a little relieved.

As soon as Elise entered the door, her eyes fell on Rin, and then she greeted her mother and sister, and finally noticed that there was one more person in the room.

She blinked her innocent eyes and looked at Catalina in front of her curiously.

Seeing Elise's face, Catalina seemed to be lost in memories, and her expression looked a little more nostalgic.

"Mother mother..."

Elise moved closer to her mother, controlled her movements to act coquettishly, and looked at Queen Sheryl inquiringly.

The queen touched her head: "This is your aunt, why don't you say hello quickly."

"Hello, aunt..."

Elise herself was not afraid of strangers, but having an additional relative inevitably made her a little shy, so she hid beside her mother.

Catalina came back to her senses at this time and said with emotion: "This child is really... very similar to you before."

Sheryl smiled and nodded: "Eve is more like you. She always frowns and is too serious. No amount of persuasion will help."

"That's right...but I'm older now and have been out for a long time, so I no longer have the energy I had when I was young."

The two elders started chatting, while the younger ones exchanged glances.

Rin pouted at Eve, looking quite unhappy.

Eve kept making secretive gestures, telling him to calm down and wait.

The silly roe deer looked left and right, suddenly became interested, stepped between the two of them, and hugged Lin's arm.

"Xiao Lin, why are you here?"

"Of course there's something going on..."

Rin whispered back, without explaining what happened before, and asked instead: "How are you studying in school?"

"Thanks to the bad fox, the idiot Emilia is obedient and works quite hard. After doing this all the time, she is still sure to pass. By the way, Xiao Lin, the school will commend and reward the students who participated in the competition the day after tomorrow. Don't forget ”

"I know, I know."

"whee."

Seeing the young couple interacting, Eve forgot about it and muttered to herself without knowing what to say.

The Queen sisters who were talking also noticed this, and Sheryl covered her mouth and chuckled.

"The two children have a very good relationship and will stick together all the time."

Catalina echoed a few words, but her eyes were a little deep.

"Sister, I've already arranged dinner, and then we'll sleep together. I want to hear what happened to you outside." Sheryl's face was filled with anticipation.

Catalina moved her arms slightly, wanting to touch her head like she did when she was young, but in the end she couldn't do it.

"What's there to say? It's just a joke of fate."

When she said the word fate, she emphasized her tone with self-mockery on her lips: "By the way, I wonder when my little brother will come back?"

Sheryl held her hand and was about to say something when a loud voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Report to Your Majesty! I have urgent military information to report to Your Majesty!"

Emergency or military situation?

Could it be that the demons started a war? !

This was the thought of all of Rin and the others, and they felt a little ridiculous when they heard these words.

In peacetime, what can be called military intelligence?

Queen Sheryl's expression did not change, she quickly stood up and glanced at Rin and Elise.

"It seems that tonight's family dinner will have to be rescheduled. Elise, please make arrangements to have dinner with your aunt. Rin can come too. Eve, come with me."

After saying that, she hurriedly left with her eldest daughter.

Elise wanted to take care of relatives she had never seen before, so she volunteered to check on the facilities and accommodation.

Once she left, Rin and Katarina were the only ones left in the room, and the place was completely silent.

Catalina was no longer as gentle as before, and her sharp and cold eyes looked back and forth on Rin.

Looking at her expression at this time, she really looks like Eve between her eyebrows.

Rin was also examining her, and his aura was not weak at all.

"The unique first Son of the Church."

She seemed to be talking to herself, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then said: "You have been blessed with everything since you were a child. Do you plan to have your cake and eat it too?"

Rin looked arrogant: "I don't give things that belong to me, and no one wants them. As for who I give them to... at least I won't give them to a cat or a dog that suddenly ran out on the roadside."

Katarina wasn't angry either, she seemed to have known for a long time that arrogance was Rin's true character.

"You can't be too greedy. Even if you can inherit the title at the same time, your home field will still be the church in the future. You won't be able to distract yourself from taking care of this place. Sooner or later, trouble will arise within the family."

Catalina changed the topic: "You betrayed your father. Even if you stand in a righteous position, the relationship between father and son cannot stand. You should stay away from the vortex for a while. If you insist on doing so, there will definitely be questions from the church. ”

She kept using the tone of someone who had experienced it to comfort her, but Rin felt disgusted and disgusted.

You want to rob someone else, and you act like I am robbing you for your own good. Who the hell do you think you are?

Even those PUA masters on the Internet don’t have a face like yours.

Rin immediately interrupted her persuasion and said coldly: "As I said before, only if I want to give it to you, the other person can reach out and take it. If I don't want to give it, just don't worry about me swinging my knife. Finally, Your Highness Have you forgotten that I have a sister, and even if I really want to hand it over, I will only hand it over to her."

"That sword master? Ha."

Catalina subconsciously showed a sarcastic look, but it quickly dissipated from her face: "I have already told you what needs to be said. As for what choice you want to make... you still have to think carefully. Sometimes the church's hand is stretched out Not that long.”

Rin was immersed in his own doubts.

Catalina's expression was only fleeting and difficult to distinguish, but her tone was completely unconcealed.

It was a tone of ridicule and contempt, directed at Xiye.

Xiye is an upright swordsman. If there is anything about her that can be laughed at, it is only her own life experience.

It’s impossible to make people laugh just because you give up your rights, right? This is just the current thinking and can be changed, just like the Meteor Sword Master back then.

Yes, the queen's eldest sister may know something about Xiye's situation.

According to this guess, the forces behind her are either death seekers or witches, and others do not have this authority at all.

Many thoughts came to mind, and Lin suppressed her curiosity to find out what was going on. She said in an aggressive voice: "Of course I can weigh it up, but... I don't know where your highness belongs on the chessboard?"

Catalina's expression changed. For a moment, Rin seemed to feel something huge and invisible rushing toward her, and her scalp felt a little numb.

Fortunately, he is also a man who has seen many big scenes and has to withstand the pressure of the devil from time to time. Even if he feels that something is oppressing his consciousness, he still looks calm and calm on the surface, leaning forward slightly to give the opponent pressure. .

To be honest, if he hadn't been worried about Elise, he would have left after the queen left. He would have spent so much time with this extremely self-centered woman, and he ended up feeling very unhappy.

Just when I thought of Elise, the silly roe deer had already run in.

The originally tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated, and Rin and Katarina pretended to be leisurely, drinking tea with teacups in their hands.

With Elise present, nothing happened during the meal afterwards.

Seeing that dinner was all finished, Eve and Sheryl arrived belatedly.

Katarina pretended to be extremely tired, but actually she didn't want to sit with Rin anymore.

Her appearance attracted Sheryl's attention, and she quickly asked the head maid to take her back to rest with concern.

Sherrill personally sent him some distance before returning.

"Rin, did my sister give you any trouble after we left?"

Rin scratched his face: "It's just a few words of conflict, it's too difficult to talk about."

Eve frowned, expressing that she felt sorry for her brother-in-law.

She knew Rin, and according to Rin's temper, she really made him unhappy, so she had attacked him early, and it was only because of them that she could endure it now.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Katarina came specifically to prevent Rin from inheriting the title of Duke.

"Mother, there is something... I don't know whether I should ask."

Eve decided to stand up for her brother-in-law and spoke first.

"I know what you want to say..."

Sheryl sighed and shook her head: "I thought it would be a reunion of relatives, but I didn't expect that she had other purposes... Hey, my sister is no longer the original sister."

Silly Roe Deer took a few sips of juice, and a touch of pink suddenly appeared on his face. He licked the corners of his mouth and asked curiously: "Why did Mother never say that she has a sister?"

"I told Eve a few times when she was a child, but she was still too young at that time, so she probably forgot about it."

Sherrill looked at the memory and shook her head: "After all, it is a secret that the entire kingdom cannot tell."

Rin's ears pricked up at that time, with an expression like a melon-eater.

As expected, Her Majesty the Queen did not regard him as an outsider. After some deliberation, she said: "She is my half-sister. The former Queen passed away early, and my mother also passed away after giving birth to us. Between the three of us, The relationship is particularly good when we are young.”

As she said that, she glanced at Eve: "You are indeed very similar to her at that time. You and Elise are just like her and me back then. As the eldest daughter, she has always been cultivated as the first heir. Her ability Outstanding for all to see.”

What a shocking secret! Queen Sheryl is actually a latecomer to the throne?

Rin couldn't help but pick up a piece of snack and stuff it into his mouth, rolled his eyes and continued to eat the melon.

"Later... her father found a fiancé for her, and she initially agreed. Later, she fell in love with a married man, stalked him, and even forcibly broke off the engagement. This matter has been regarded as a scandal by the royal family. When my father found out, he was very angry and strictly prohibited them from interacting with each other.”

Eve's hand shook, and the cup in her hand almost fell to the table, and she glanced at Rin covertly.

The eldest princess thought to herself: Oh no, no, she said before that I am very similar to that aunt, but my fate will not be the same in the future. I also fell in love with a married man, my brother-in-law.

It's broken, it's broken... When I think of this setting, a strange feeling comes over me again, and I urgently need comfort and relief!

"Later, I heard that the man's wife had died. He was heartbroken and prepared to leave the kingdom to travel around. She didn't even want the throne and followed the man... My father was not in good health at the time. He learned that she had left. The news was that he passed away very quickly.”

Speaking of this, Sheryl looked sad: "At that time, I was with my friends and agreed to fulfill our dreams together. When I learned that my father had passed away... I had no choice but to go back and inherit the throne, abandoning friendship and vows. This is why I The reason why I want you to bring my letter of apology to Angela.”

Rin recalled it and looked a little weird.

I don’t know what they agreed upon, but they ended up having such a quarrel that they didn’t see each other again for more than twenty years.

"Because it was a royal scandal, a hush order was issued. Over time, everyone has forgotten about the princess."

"By the way, her uncle is General Ace. The general regarded her as his own and was her staunchest supporter. Even if she chose to elope, he still supported her and even provided convenience for her to escape. "
