Chapter 784: Come to the Door in Person and Ask for Help
Ling Zuo Yuanmu raised his hand, signaling Jiuye not to be polite, and spoke softly.
"I'm a guest here. Miss, I'd like to inform you."
"Okay, your highness and the housekeeper, please move to the living room and wait."
An Zhe nodded lightly, and Jiuye quickly led the two of them into the mansion. After bowing to them, he quickly walked to the backyard.
Not long after, Anzhe heard a rush of footsteps, and at the same time he faintly felt the magic power surging on the person's body.
The door to the living room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing a red suit walked in.
Anzhe raised his brows lightly without any trace. Without looking at this person's appearance, Anzhe knew that this person was Tokiomi Tokiomi just by looking at him.
The famous scapegoat never thought that he would see it with his own eyes one day.
With this thought in his mind, Anzhe seemed to just turn his attention to this scapegoat.
Compared with how he remembered it, Tokiomi Tosaka looked older. Again, I survived after all...
Apparently his life has not been easy over the years. But even though deep down he was worried about his family's situation, on the surface he still showed confidence and calmness.
This man's self-esteem is too strong, and he has survived countless difficulties, making his self-esteem even more powerful.
And Tokiomi Tosaka also saw Anzhe in the living room at a glance, dressed in noble attire, standing upright, and looking at him from the window.
"I'm really sorry, Your Highness Anzhe. I didn't know that His Highness was visiting, so it was really disrespectful to miss him from afar."
He stepped forward, put one hand behind his back, raised the other hand to his chest, and bowed to Anzhe.
An Zhe also had to admit that every move of this man was full of a different kind of charm, with both etiquette and magnanimity coexisting in him.
"Head of the Tohsaka family, there is no need to apologize. It was my sudden visit and I was disrespectful."
Anzhe said softly, his expression was calm, but he didn't seem to have lost etiquette at all. Before Tosaka Tokiomi could speak, he had already walked to the sofa and sat down.
His behavior like this
Tokiomi Tohsaka's heart sank.
Anzhe's rude behavior obviously meant that he was unhappy. He suddenly came to his house, obviously to ask for help.
This was good. He was obviously at his own home, but Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't dare to sit down as the head of the family, so he could only stand there.
Anzhe sneered in his heart, but he didn't push Tokiomi Tosaka too much, otherwise it would be a slap in the face if he asked Ling Zuo Motoki to sit down too.
"Master Tosaka, I think you know the reason why I came here."
"Forgive me for being ignorant, but please give me a clear explanation, Your Highness."
Tokiomi Tohsaka sighed inwardly, thinking that he was really here because of Tohsaka Rin's matter, but in this matter, he was quite helpless...
Seeing Tokiomi Tosaka pretending to be confused, Anzhe's expression remained unchanged and he clarified his words softly.
"Master Tosaka, my mother had a private conversation with you and made a marriage contract between me and Tosaka Rin. I didn't know about it at the time. I made an impulsive move later. I hereby apologize to you."
He said this, which surprised Tohsaka Tokiomi, but he still did not dare to go too far and still maintained a respectful attitude.
An Zhe didn't take it seriously, and just let out a breath, and continued: "But because of an accident, I met the daughter of your family and formed a friendship. So even if there is no engagement, my daughter and I are still very good. Friend. But now, I heard the news that she entered the military."
"I think, Master Tosaka, you should understand the danger there."
At this point, Anzhe's eyes became indifferent. He obviously didn't believe that Tohsaka Rin voluntarily went to the army. After thinking about it, he could only think that she was influenced by Tokiomi Tosaka.
Worst of all, it was Tohsaka Tokiomi who unintentionally stimulated her.
Anzhe's expression became majestic, and just being stared at by his calm eyes would give people an extremely powerful sense of oppression.
Being stared at by An Zhe, feeling the indifference and overlooking in An Zhe's eyes, Tokiomi Tosaka couldn't help but break out a thin layer of cold sweat on his vest.
He understood that the energy controlled by An Zhe, and that a family like his was nothing in his eyes.
Trying his best to keep his face calm, Tokiomi Tosaka quickly bowed again.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Your Highness also knows that this little girl has a strong personality. She left home on her own this time. I sent people to recover her, but once she joins the army, it is difficult to disobey the order..."
"Did I not explain it clearly? I wanted to ask the head of the family why he mentioned military merit. I can guess a little bit about the matter. It seems that the head of the house talked about how military merit can alleviate the predicament of your house, so he let Rin listen, right?"
Tokiomi Tosaka was slightly stunned and could not help but be speechless.
At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman walked in and bowed to An Zhe. This person was Tosaka Tokiomi's wife: Tosaka Aoi.
"Your Highness! Regarding this matter, I would like to ask Your Highness to forgive Tokiomi..."
Seeing his wife barging in, Tokiomi Tosaka's expression changed slightly.
"Nonsense! How could you break in like this!"
He wanted to say something else, but An Zhe stopped him: "It doesn't matter, head of the family, please don't blame Madam. I just want to figure out some things now."
Tohsaka Aoi couldn't care less and explained what happened as clearly as possible.
In fact, as An Zhe said, it is indeed the case.
When King Arthur's conscription order was issued, Tokiomi Tosaka realized that this was an opportunity, but he had no intention of letting Rin Tosaka join the army.
He was still healthy and strong, and he would never be so cowardly as to let his daughter go to fight. However, he didn't expect that when he was talking to his wife at that time, Tohsaka Rin would listen to him.
Ever since he came back from the Duke's Palace and saw the magic crystals that An Zhe gave to Tohsaka Rin, Tokiomi Tokiomi understood what Anzhe meant and did not blame Tohsaka Rin for breaking off the engagement without authorization. It's just his father's sorrow. How can Rin Tohsaka, his daughter, not see it?
Even though Tokiomi Tohsaka never said it, Rin Tohsaka could always see a sad look on her father's face that was rarely seen in the past. She often saw Tokiomi working alone until late, even if he was exhausted. Still holding on.
She deeply understood how much Tosaka Tokiomi had paid for the family, and her decision to break off the engagement undoubtedly cut off Tokiomi's hope.
Tohsaka Rin understood that her proud father would not ask for help, so the only one who could help him was her as his daughter.
Tohsaka Rin actually told Tohsaka Aoi about these things, but Tohsaka Aoi did not tell Tohsaka Tokiomi.
In this family, the only person Tohsaka Rin can talk to is obviously her mother. Unlike the original work in this regard, because of the loss of his parents, Tohsaka Rin can only bear everything silently.
