Lord: I have a skill talent tree
Chapter 85: Stand on your own
Ethan felt more and more understanding of Sophia, and he didn't know how much of what she said was true or false.
Say it’s true! Ethan had heard Sofia's cold and heartless words with his own ears. For a person who was so indifferent to her own sister, can you believe that she would leave all her property to her sister?
But if it is false, what she said is true. There are indeed only two sisters in her Lawson family.
Since women cannot inherit titles, normally the husband of one of the two should inherit the title.
And Sofia's fiancé is the eldest son of a duke. It's impossible for someone to inherit a viscount instead of a dukedom!
And seeing how she treats money like dirt, she might really leave all her property to Angelina.
So, which one is the appearance? Which one is real?
Speaking of appearances, Ethan suddenly remembered something, so he said: "Thank you very much for your guidance tonight. To be honest, I have benefited a lot.
But I have one more question, about the Duke. "
"Tell me about it!"
"Although the Duke gave me such an important sword, and according to what you said, he was protecting me." At this point, Ethan paused, hesitated for a while, and then continued:
“But I always feel that the Duke actually doesn’t care about me, or in other words, he doesn’t care about the Lawson family and doesn’t value the Lawson family.
Is my feeling right? "
"Wow! Your feeling is very accurate." Sophia straightened her hair and nodded: "Many people always think that we are treated favorably in the North.
In fact, although it is not the opposite, it is by no means preferential treatment.
The reason why family members and outsiders feel this way is just an appearance deliberately created by me. "
"Why is this so?" Ethan continued to ask: "We have been helping deliver supplies to the North. Isn't this very important to them? Why does the Duke..."
Ethan couldn't find the right words to describe it for a moment. He didn't care, or didn't pay attention. The words he used were not very accurate.
To be precise, it should be...a welcome mixed with disgust.
"Yes, it's welcoming but also disgusting."
So Ethan said this without hesitation.
After hearing this, Sofia smiled: "Your intuition is very good! The wording is also very accurate. It is because the Duke has neglected you that you feel this way!"
"You can say that!" Ethan nodded: "Because I think if you really value someone, you won't do such stupid things, at least I won't do this, it will chill your subordinates.
So, why does the Duke have such an attitude towards the Lawson family? "
Sophia pursed her lips: "I can only say that everyone has their own interests and demands, the Duke does this, and so do we.
In fact, the Duke has been seeking to increase prices in the North, while we have been suppressing prices in the North.
Even if we lose some profits, we will not hesitate. "
Ethan thought he heard it wrong: "What does this mean? Did you get it wrong?
It’s not that we should be asking for price increases in Northland so that we can gain more profits. Why are we still suppressing prices in Northland?
Are you crazy? "
"Ethan!" Sophia looked at Ethan seriously and said seriously: "I just told you before that you can't just look at the appearance of everything.
There are many things you should think about yourself.
Rather, when you encounter a problem, you just want to ask it.
I hope you can become a man of your own.
My father has been devastated by the death of my mother. To be honest, there is no man in the family who can stand up.
You are my carefully selected elite. I have been observing you for a long time.
Letting you get married is definitely not a temporary decision, it is a matter of careful consideration.
Please grow up as soon as possible no matter what, I don't have too much time to train you because I already feel that a storm is coming!
That's it for today. As for prices, think carefully about why, and treat it as an assessment for you.
I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer next time. "
After saying that, Sophia turned off [Psychic Appearance] without waiting for Ethan to respond.
And Ethan also woke up from his deep spiritual immersion. Looking at the familiar captain's cabin, he actually felt like he was in another world.
Ethan immediately realized that he had been immersed in his mind for too long today, and he probably had some side effects as a result.
I thought to myself, I still need to control the duration in the future.
Rubbing his eyebrows, Ethan began to think about the assessment Sophia said.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't understand the reason.
At this time, Angelina opened the door and walked in. Seeing Ethan waking up, she said happily: "Ethan, you're awake!"
"Yes." Ethan nodded: "You came just in time, I was just wanting to ask about your sister!"
"Huh?" Angelina opened her eyes wide: "Why do you suddenly care about my sister?"
"I chatted with her for a long time today, and I found that my understanding of her seems to be a little biased. Therefore, I want to get to know her better." Ethan said truthfully.
"That's it!" Angelina smiled, made a cup of coffee for Ethan, handed it to Ethan, then sat down next to Ethan and said slowly: "Well... how should I put it?
My sister, she is the pride of the family!
He has shown strong magical talent since he was a child, so he is favored by his family.
When she was 5 years old, she went to the main family in the imperial capital.
You should know that the main branch of our Lawson family is a marquis, and has always been in the capital of the empire.
My father's branch was awarded the title for independent military merits. At the beginning, it was almost awarded the title of marquis, but with the death of me... it should be my great-great-grandfather, the family began to decline.
You should also know that our family is hereditary, and the title will not be downgraded.
However, in order to curb the ever-expanding nobles, the empire issued a new decree a long time ago. Except for the duke, even if it is hereditary, if there is no corresponding merit, the title will be downgraded every three generations.
And our family has been in the rear for a long time, and there has been no decent merit, so when it comes to my father's generation, there is only the title of viscount.
Oh! It seems a bit off topic, let's continue to talk about my sister.
Since she went to the main family at a very young age, I don't know much about her life in the imperial capital.
I only know that she went to the best magic school in the empire and studied under the strongest wizard of mankind, the God of Fire Evelyn.
And she graduated from Merlin College at the age of thirteen and was appointed as the magic professor of the college.
Later, my mother passed away, and my father suddenly stopped caring about the affairs for some reason. The family was in a mess.
I had no ability, so I could only watch the family get more and more chaotic.
At this time, my sister came back!
I still remember how she looked when she came back. When the carriage drove into the manor, she was small and got off the carriage by herself, carrying a big box taller than her.
At the same time, there was a person wearing a red robe standing next to her. His face was not clear, and he also had a big box on his back. There was nothing else.
Because she didn't notify me before she came back, no one went to greet her.
Even I didn't recognize her.
If she hadn't called me sister, I would still be confused.
After she came back, it only took her three days to stop all the chaos in the family.
Everything in the family began to operate in an orderly manner according to her will.
