Chapter 276

Chapter 6: The smell of brother Orson

During the following banquet, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.

What these nobles are best at is flattering and clinging to the powerful. Therefore, even if Lucius just scolded them a minute ago, they can still lick their faces and come up to him.

But fortunately they were thick-skinned and the atmosphere of the banquet was not dull.

Half an hour later, the dishes in front of Li Te were all wiped out. At this time, he was a little at a loss.

But he was afraid that he would do something wrong, so he simply looked down at his knees and did nothing.

Orson had just returned a glass of wine and turned his head to see that the plate in front of Li Te was empty. He understood immediately, and then he walked over to Lucius.

"Father, it seems that Li Te is not quite used to the current environment. He has finished his meal. How about I take him back to his room first?"

"Okay." Lucius nodded.

After getting Lucius's permission, Orson came to Li Te.

"Li Teuk, you probably don't feel comfortable here." Orson said softly, putting his head in front of Li Teuk so that Li Teuk could see him.

Then he showed a smile.

"You've been riding in the carriage all day today. You must be tired. Why don't you go upstairs and take a rest?"

"Eh? Is that okay?" Hearing this, Li Te looked at Orson in surprise. "But, would it be bad if I left early?"

"Good boy, no one will blame you." Orson said with a smile.

As expected of the protagonist, his personality is also so lovable. Even if he knows that he can't handle this kind of situation, he still has to hold on to not embarrass his family.

Then, Orson raised a glass of wine, stood up and looked at the nobles around him.

"Everyone, Li Teuk has been tired from traveling today, and he just came back from outside and is a little sick, so he can't stay with you here. I will take Li Te up first, and then come down to accompany you later."

"Okay, okay."

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Osen, let's go first."

"Master Lite and Master Orson are such good brothers, you really don't have to worry about the future."

The nobles praised Orson one by one. Except for Count Carls who had just been choked, they all stood up to pay tribute to the two young masters.

Orson came to the second floor, and the maid Vivian was already waiting at the stairs.

Seeing the two young masters approaching, she hurriedly greeted them.

"Master Orson, Master Li Te."

"Vivian, has Li Te's room been tidied up?" Orson asked hurriedly.

"Uh... I'm not Master Li Te's maid. I don't know about this yet..." Vivian said, bowing to the two of them and apologizing.

"It's okay, just pretend it's not done yet." Orson said, leading Lite to his room.

This is also the first room Leeteuk has entered since returning home.

Then, he opened the door and led Li Teuk in.

"You can rest in the room for a while now. No one will disturb you. Don't worry about it.

Just hold yourself tight and relax a little. "

Then he took Li Teuk and led him to sit beside his bed.

"If you are tired, just lie down on the bed and rest for a while, or sit on a chair and read a book." Orson said, pointing to the bookshelf. "You can read all the books here. If there is something you don't understand, I can explain it to you when you come back."

"Thank you, Brother Orson." Lit nodded and sat obediently on the edge of the bed.

"That's right." Orson seemed to remember something, and then said: "You and I were probably born on the same day. You don't need to call me Brother Orson. Just call me Orson in private. It will make you closer."

"I know, Brother Osun..." Lit nodded, but when he started to speak, he found that he habitually mentioned the word "brother", so he quickly changed his words: "O...Osun..."

"Well, that's right." Orson nodded, and then gently patted Li Te's little head. "I have something else to do. The banquet is not over yet. I have to go and socialize."

Saying this, it seemed that he was trying to arouse Li Te's sympathy and close the distance between the two. Orson waved his hand impatiently and said: "Ah, it's really troublesome. Obviously the banquet is for everyone to gather together to eat. It’s a fun thing to do alone, and there are always people who like to quarrel at banquets.”

"To be honest, I really hate the atmosphere of this kind of banquet."

Liteuk was a little moved when he heard Orson's words.

So it turns out he's not the only one who doesn't like this banquet?

"Okay, okay, you can rest first, I'm leaving." After saying that, Orson waved his hand towards Li Te, then opened the door again and walked out.

"Master Orson, I just asked, Master Li Te's room has not been decorated yet." At the door, Vivian saw Orson coming out and whispered to him.

"What's going on?" Orson frowned. "Didn't you know the news about Li Teuk's return a few days ago? It took so long to tidy up the room?"

"I'm sorry, Master, I don't know what's going on." Vivian said, lowering her head.

Realizing that what he had just said was somewhat emotional, Orson also took a step back.

"It's okay, it's okay. This was not your responsibility in the first place, but my tone was a little harsh." There was a hint of apology in his tone. "Anyway, I will ask my father and mother about this later. You should stay here and guard Li Teuk."

"What's wrong with Master Li Te?" Vivian sounded worried.

"He's fine, just a little tired. You just stay at the door. If he has any problems while I'm away, help him." Orson said. "Leet is still a little shy. If you have nothing to do, don't go into the house and disturb him."

"Okay." Vivian nodded, and then chuckled. "It seems that Master Orson cares more about Master Leet than Master Lucius."

"Haha, after all, he has suffered for so long..."

...

On the other side, Leet sat in the room, thinking about Orson's words, and her face flushed.

She was indeed a little tired after the bumpy ride today.

Can I really just lie on Brother Orson's bed like this?

Thinking so, Leet untied the laces of his boots, and then took them off beside the bed, and lay down on the bed.

This big bed is extremely soft and comfortable, and it is simply a world apart from the hardwood beds in the countryside.

Lying on this bed, Leet felt that his waist was about to sink.

Then, she gently grabbed the quilt and covered herself with it.

Her petite body shrunk into the quilt, letting the sheet cover her completely.

For some reason, Lit always felt that there was a pleasant smell in the quilt, a smell she had also smelled on her brother Orson.

She couldn't help but pull the quilt to her nose and sniff it carefully.

It was a refreshing fragrance, and just smelling it made people feel at ease and comfortable.

Then, as if realizing that his behavior had crossed the line, Lit put down the quilt with a red face and lay on the bed to rest.

The fatigue of the day was relieved at this moment, and Lit slowly closed his eyes...

Chapter 7: You come to be his teacher

The banquet lasted for another two hours, and the nobles left the Duke's mansion slightly drunk.

Orson's servants were cleaning the restaurant, and suddenly, his shoulder was patted.

"Orson, come to the study with me, I have something to talk to you alone." Lucius said this and walked upstairs.

...

Lucius was sitting in the study, with Orson standing respectfully at the desk in front of him.

"Orson, how old are you this year?" Lucius asked casually while flipping through the book.

"To answer my father, I am eighteen years old this year."

"Eighteen, eighteen, what a good age..." Lucius sighed. "Eighteen years have passed without me noticing."

"I wonder why my father called me here this time?" Orson bowed slightly and asked with some doubt.

"Orson, what do you think of Lit?" Lucius said.

"Now there are only you and me here, there is no need to hide anything, just speak frankly."

"..." Orson thought for a while, and then said: "To answer my father, in my opinion, Lit is a good boy, at least, he is very kind and can be considerate and take care of other people's emotions."

"Good boy." Hearing Orson's evaluation, Lucius couldn't help but smile. "You said good boy and so on, as if you are a generation older than Lit, but in fact you two are the same age."

"I'm asking, do you think Lit has the ability to inherit my position?" Lucius then changed the subject and stared at Orson with a sharp gaze.

"Yes." Orson said without hesitation. "Lit is definitely capable of inheriting his father's career."

Orson was convinced of this. After all, the protagonist's halo was there. In the original book, Lit did manage the territory in an orderly manner after inheriting the duke's position.

"Oh?" Hearing Orson's answer without hesitation, Lucius was a little surprised.

He could guess that Orson would reply like this, but he didn't expect Orson to say it so quickly, as if he was very sure of Lit's ability.

"Why don't you tell me why? Lit's performance today was not satisfactory, and you know that."

"In that case, I'll tell you." Orson smiled, and then continued: "Even if a young phoenix falls into a flock of chickens, its inherent qualities will not change."

"Lit has lived in the countryside for many years and has received a very backward education. In this case, what do you think his mentality will be like when he first joins the family? Most people will definitely have the mentality of a nouveau riche who gets rich overnight, but Lit is not like that. He still maintains enough calmness and composure."

"In addition, I think I am very good at judging people. Although Lit can't do anything now, in time, his achievements will definitely be higher than mine."

"Higher than you..." Lucius listened to Orson's words and fell into deep thought.

His son, who has no blood relationship with him, is already recognized as the strongest person of the younger generation of the empire. In this case, he actually boasted that Lit will be more powerful than him in the future?

Lucius felt a little unbelievable.

"Orson, are you serious?"

"I have no reason to lie to my father."

"Okay." Lucius nodded.

Since Orson, who has no blood relationship with Lit and even competes with Lit, thinks so highly of him, as a father, he naturally cannot treat Lit unfairly.

The most urgent task should be to find a good teacher for Lit.

"In this case, Orson, I plan to find a teacher for Lit to guide his noble etiquette, culture, combat and magic. Do you have any recommendations?" Lucius looked at Orson with a smile in his eyes.

"A teacher?" Orson was stunned and began to search in his memory whether there was such a person in the world.

The conclusion drawn is none.

In the original work, Li Teuk's growth can be summarized in four words.

Self-taught.

As long as Li Te is provided with relevant resources, Li Te's monster-like talent can increase his learning speed to several, dozens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary people.

Then Orson shook his head.

"Sorry, father, if there is only one teacher, I can't find such an all-rounder."

"Really?" Lucius smiled, "Haha, the all-rounder you talk about is right in front of me now."

"Ah?" Orson was stunned, "What does father mean?"

"Since you value Leeteuk so much and know Leeteuk so well, I feel that only by teaching Leeteuk yourself can you guide him to the right path."

"In addition, you and he are brothers, close in age, and we were so close on the first day. The teacher who is most suitable to teach him and the easiest for him to accept is you, isn't it?"

Orson was stunned when he heard Lucius's words.

Then I remembered.

In the original work, Orson was not so close to Leeteuk on the first day, and therefore, Lucius was

Lee Teuk arranged for another teacher.

That teacher was a well-known professor in the neighborhood and had always been known for his fairness and justice. Therefore, under the influence of that person, Li Teuk's character gradually changed from weak to strong.

Later, the teacher was fired because he offended Orson, and the new teacher was replaced by someone recommended by Mary.

Even though Leeteuk studied harder, the new teacher kept making small reports in front of Lucius, deceiving Lucius and saying that Leeteuk was playful and delayed his studies.
