Chapter 120 Leaving

Glancing at the noble lady, Thain showed no respect for the woman who should be called his "stepmother".

His attention was still focused on the large painting in front of him.

Touching the metal frame with fine patterns, Thain seemed to have touched the memory of his mother.

Thain's indifference and the silence of the two senior attendants John and Greiner made the noble lady furious.

But what made her even more angry was the floor-to-ceiling painting in front of her that occupied the entire wall.

Once upon a time, she didn't know how many times she wanted to remove the huge painting of the previous countess that occupied the entire wall in front of the chamber.

But no matter which time she mentioned it, she was faced with the cold expression of Earl Grant.

Earl Grant was not a henpecker.

How could a person who had gained fame and meritorious service in a real war be controlled by a woman?

Including him and his last wife, Catherine, they were also childhood sweethearts, and the aristocratic couple who successfully married together as adults had attracted the envy of many people.

On the contrary, the second countess in front of her is more like the product of the combination of interests among the nobles.

If it hadn't been for the loss of Thane, the earl would have had no other direct successor.

If the Grant family had not really needed to marry the Hoxey family of the Kingdom of Western France, I am afraid that this marriage would not have happened in the future.

This Countess Tiya is quite pitiful to say the least.

She is the daughter of a marquis and a countess, but to the nobles, she is nothing more than a marriage tool.

Even with Earl Grant, she had never experienced what love was.

This is actually the norm for most noble unions.

Only interests are what the nobles value.

A love story between an aristocrat and a commoner boy is only suitable to be heard as a story in a biography, and is almost impossible to exist in reality.

As for Mrs. Tiya, although she cannot get all the love from the Earl, she can get all the family affection from her son.

Especially since his son, as the only son of Earl Grant, would definitely inherit the entire Bauhinia territory and title in the future.

Only by relying on her son can she have true dignity and nobility, including being able to straighten her back when she returns to her natal family in the Kingdom of Western France in the future.

But now, the appearance of Thane seems to be taking her away

Deprived of his only refuge!

After all, the Lycian Alliance and several surrounding human countries follow the primogeniture system for noble titles.

Not to mention the deep friendship between Earl Grant and Lady Catherine in his early years, which spread throughout the Redbud Collar and the Lycian League.

If the identity of the son of Earl Thain is confirmed, then the title of earl will most likely be missed by her son.

This is a situation that Mrs. Dia cannot accept!

In a state of anger and excitement, Lady Tia seemed to have forgotten that the majesty of Earl Grant was inviolable.

A silver candlestick was raised from nowhere in the meeting hall and hit directly at the giant painting in front of Thain.

Of course, Thain couldn't let the other party destroy the painting. A secondary fireball shot from Thain's fingertips, directly melting the silver candlestick into silver water in mid-air.

The appearance of the secondary fireball also caused the expressions of everyone in the meeting hall to change.

These servants of the earldom were not qualified to interfere in the affairs of noble families, but if Lady Tiya was injured by Thain, they would not be able to explain to the earl.

What was slightly surprising was that the first to take action was not the injured red-armored knight, Old John and others, but the red-haired young man closest to the countess.

This man... should be called Thain's younger brother. He looks to be only 21 or 22 years old, three or four years younger than Thain.

A dazzling purple flame of fighting spirit surged out from his personal sword.

Facing Thain's weakened version of the secondary fireball, which he had no intention of hitting Tiya, he jumped and slashed, actually cutting the secondary fireball in half.

The falling sparks splashed on the stone floor in the hall, but did not ignite anything else.

The count's second son's movements are very handsome. It can be seen that he has inherited many excellent genes from the count's family.

The only difference from Thane is that the other party did not inherit the Earl's blond hair, but followed his mother's red hair.

It's just between his brows that he looks very similar to the earl.

The Purple Flame Fighting Qi is the inherited fighting spirit of the Grant family. Only direct and close branches of the Grant family can practice it.

Currently, in the entire Earl's Mansion, there are no more than fifteen people, including the Earl himself, who are qualified to practice this fighting spirit.

Thain's younger brother seems to have pretty good qualifications.

In his early twenties, he was already an intermediate knight squire.

Although the knight's promotion

Level, generally easier than a magician.

But I think that when Thain was twenty years old, he was just an intermediate magic apprentice.

After cutting down the secondary fireball technique, this ignorant brother pointed the thin sword in his hand at Thane.

Thain had no interest in fooling around with a "little kid."

Yes, he is a "child", even if the other person is already twenty years old and still has the strength of an intermediate knight squire.

In terms of real combat effectiveness, although Ziyan's fighting spirit is powerful, this young nobleman with the same surname Grant may not be able to defeat the mid-level guards of the Earl's Mansion who have truly experienced the test of war in a life-and-death fight.

The opponent's performance just now was very handsome, but there were too many useless moves.

Sean felt that he could use an enhanced version of the fireball spell to cut off the bloodline of the Earl's Mansion except for himself.

However, Sean did not do so. After returning to Grant Territory and finding that everything was a little different from what he expected, he no longer felt any sense of belonging here.

Noble title? Honor? Territory? Interests?

What does this have to do with me!

As a spellcaster, Sean pursues truth and the mysteries of the elements.

In the constant exploration of the unknown and the discovery of secrets, he has stronger power and life levels until he unlocks the mysteries of the astral world.

The Grant family is not Sean's home. Perhaps the small apprentice dormitory where he lives with Lina is his real "home".

Putting the huge floor-to-ceiling painting in front of him directly into the space bracelet, Sean glanced at the people in the hall and then turned away.

Such a huge painting that filled the entire wall suddenly disappeared, which shocked everyone in the hall.

Especially that Lady Tia, as the daughter of the Marquis, she also knew and came into contact with space equipment in the past.

Even she herself had been constantly contacting her family for years, and all she got was a water drop-shaped space device with a cubic space on the day of her son's coming-of-age ceremony.

It was not like Sean's space bracelet, which could directly store the entire huge painting.

Even Earl Grant himself did not have a space device of this size!
