Indescribable tarot cards

"Little Ellie, we..." Dagos hesitated to speak, and in the end, there was only a heavy sigh.

Because of what happened just now, Alice blushed a little with embarrassment and said, "What's wrong, Uncle Dagus?"

"Nothing, just thinking..." A smile reappeared on Dagos's face, or in other words, he looked at Alice with a half-smile.

He really didn't expect that his unintentional choice seemed to be good for little Aili?

"How is he? I mean, his character?" Dagus winked at Alice.

Alice became angry, snorted coldly, and slammed the white porcelain tea cup in her hand to show her mood at this time.

At this time, there was a respectful knock on the door, and the butler in a black tuxedo walked in slowly, whispered a few words in Dagos's ear, and then left respectfully.

"What's wrong?"

Although the housekeeper's voice was soft, Alice, with her sharp ears, still caught something, which seemed to be related to "Aaron"?

"Well, it's nothing. He survived. It seems that the Blazing Sun Potion is indeed..." Dagos was trying hard to find words to describe it.

Did he survive...

Alice pursed her lips, feeling mixed. She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad, or both?

"Well, little Ellie, let's talk about some business." The smile on Dagus's face faded a little, and he said to Alice slightly seriously.

"What's wrong?"

"It's about your engagement, I mean... No, it's Ed and I who mean..." Dagus and Ed exchanged glances, and then said: "If you are unwilling to fulfill the contract, we There is a way for you to..."

Alice's face gradually darkened, and finally she even interrupted Dagges directly, "Uncle Dagges, what do you mean?"

Ed coughed a few times and tried to force out a smile, "Alice, it means..."

"I know what it means, but," she pursed her lips, "why?"

"For your happiness, little Ellie," said Dagos.

"Then you can abandon your family's honor? What will happen if this gets out?"

"As long as we don't let it get out, wouldn't it be fine?"

"If you don't let it get out, what about the contract? What to do with the contract?"

"I will find a way to solve it, little Ellie, the key lies with you." Dagus looked at Alice deeply.

"I?"

"The key is whether you want it or not."

Alice wriggled her lips and opened her mouth several times, looking at Ed and Dagus, not knowing what to say.

"Alice, I can understand that you want to make sacrifices for the family, but in fact, we can also change our thinking, right? Maybe..." Dagus carefully arranged his words, fearing to touch the most vulnerable part of Alice's heart. Click, "Perhaps you have fulfilled your due obligations to the family?"

Alice took a deep breath, feeling for the first time that the incense made the whole room stuffy. The air seemed too oppressive, making her breathless, just like the first time she saw the Creeping Hand. .

obligation……

Grand Duke Iris also said this word to her personally.

She smiled self-deprecatingly, as if telling Dagos and Ed, but also as if she was talking to herself: "Do I have other uses?"

Dagges and Ed were silent. Dagges simply took out the long cigarette again, held it in his mouth, and took a vicious bite, leaving a clear tooth mark on it.

"Uncle Dagges, I can understand your good intentions, but...since I am a member of the Iris family, I..." Alice paused for a few seconds, seeming to hesitate, and then said slowly: "I should bear the responsibility of the family. obligations and responsibilities.”

"But does the family really need you?" Ed finally couldn't help but said, "Alice, I watched you grow up. I know you and you know me. We set out all the way from Uruk to Leiden. I know you have been unhappy, Miss Alice, and I know very well that you hate this engagement."

"Then what can be done?" Alice asked, "The Iris family's family motto says very clearly that truth is supreme, but power is eternal."

With a bitter smile, she seemed to be convincing herself: "After all, I am the weakest one."

The Iris family has always been fair and equal, and theoretically every family member has the opportunity to become the next Grand Duke of Iris.

Of course, this is only in theory. In fact, fairness and justice also means unfairness to some extent.

In other words, since it has been relatively fair and just, things that are not so fair and just will naturally occur, for example, it will affect the core competitiveness of running for the clan leader - bloodline concentration.

Yes, an extremely nonsense but extremely fair standard, blood concentration.

In the face of bloodline concentration, any member of the Iris family has a chance to become the Grand Duke of Iris, and there is and only one person who can become the Grand Duke of Iris.

Unfortunately, Alice is the unluckiest of all - she has just reached the bloodline concentration required to run for the Grand Duke of Iris, but it's just just right.

This means that she can appear in front of everyone as the heir candidate of Grand Duke Iris, but within the family, everyone knows that she will definitely not become Grand Duke Iris.

The family lineage of the Iris family is the remnant of the ancient Titans, the mountain giants.

No one knows how the first Grand Duke of Iris found this lost bloodline inheritance, but he did successfully turn this bloodline into the ancestral bloodline of the Iris family.

This is also the reason why Alice can kill Ed with one sword - her thin mountain giant blood gives her strength far beyond that of ordinary people.

However, the concentration of her bloodline is not enough to activate the will of the mountain giant in her body, which means that she is only a warrior, not an awakened person who can activate the bloodline of the mountain giant.

"Ed, I understand, I can understand..." Alice looked at her right hand that exuded silvery white light and sighed softly, "If I can really become an awakened person and be able to rely on the extraordinary The power awakens the dormant blood in the body. I am unwilling to agree to this marriage under any circumstances, but it is a pity..."

She smiled reluctantly, with a hint of helplessness in her smile, "But I didn't, Ed, I didn't..."

The girl's tone dropped, and she, who had always been tough, rarely showed a bit of weakness and helplessness.

"Sometimes, I wonder, maybe those unpopular chivalry novels are written for noble ladies like me? Maybe they are willing to put on the shackles of family honor, but they also yearn for the free air."

She shook her arms gently, as if she was wearing a pair of heavy shackles, and she could even faintly hear the crisp clanking sound of the chains.

Her eyes contacted the two people who loved him one by one, and finally, the three of them let out a long sigh.

However, Alice never knew why Dagus and Ed were sighing.

Well, let me say a few more words about the supporting building. It is difficult for me to add the supporting setting of some book friends...

For example, someone's grandson, Psychiatric Xuan, imagine this person popping up in a fantasy world...

You are really here to cause trouble!
