Chapter 27 Brothers

In a spacious and bright room, a blond-haired teenager sipped his tea happily, and chatted with a dark brown-haired man as if he had known him for many years.

Just as the two were chatting happily, an orange-haired girl with playful eyes was holding a letter in her hand.He jumped open the door and walked into the room.The orange-haired girl squinted her eyes, looked at the light-blond boy with a wide smile and said,

"Hey, guess who wrote the letter!"

Before the light blond boy could answer the orange-haired girl's words, a figure flashed past quickly.A white-haired man with animal ears looked indifferently, took the letter from the orange-haired girl and said

"It's a letter from the Marquis of the North."

Ignoring Rococo, who was so angry that his cheeks puffed up, Li Muyan handed the letter to Lantierre.

He took the letter from Li Muyan's hand, but has not opened it yet.Marquis Lorraine next to Lantiere looked at the letter and frowned slightly.

"The Marquis of the North? He is a brother-in-law. His doting on his younger brother has made many people joke that he can never marry for his younger brother."

After listening to the Marquis of Lorraine's description of the Marquis of the North, Lantiere raised his eyebrows with interest and asked

"Oh? Younger brother? Can the Marquis simply tell me about the Marquis of the North."

Carefully instructing Rococo to eat the pastry slowly and not choke, Marquis Lorraine said instead

"You should know that most of the north are werewolves, but these two brothers belong to the orc tribe. They are orcs with cat ears and beast tails. They are the adopted sons of the previous Marquis of the North. The previous Marquis had no children, and treated them as if they were his own. So logically, the Marquis position was given to the mature and prudent elder brother. The younger brother is always spoiled and has a childish temper, which is more stubborn. The current Marquis of the North is very defensive towards those who are close to his younger brother."

Turning to Lantiere, facing the Marquis of Lorraine, he smiled lightly and said,

"Thank you very much for the Marquis' hospitality these past few days. Tomorrow we will go to the north."

Looking at the calm and wise young man in front of him, Marquis Lorraine pursed his lips lightly and said with satisfaction

"I'll ask someone to prepare more supplies for you tomorrow. After all, supplies are scarce in the north and it's very cold."

Lightly nodded, Lantiere thanked politely

"Then I would like to thank the Marquis."

Putting away the letter from the Marquis of the North, Lantiyer smiled lightly, took a bite of the pastry in Rococo's hand, turned to look at Li Muyan and said

"Let's set off for the north tomorrow. After all, we haven't been to the north for a long time."

Hearing that Lantiere and the others were going to the north, Rococo became very playful and excitedly held Lantiere's arm, shaking it coquettishly and saying

"I have never been to the north, and I have never seen heavy snow! I heard that the snow scene there is very beautiful, so I really want to see the heavy snow! Lantiere takes me there! Take me there!"

Hearing that his precious daughter was going to an extremely cold place, Marquis Lorraine held Rococo's hand full of distress.

"Oh my baby, the climate there is harsh, and you can't bear the severe cold, let alone what to do."

Seeing that her father did not allow her to go, Rococo lowered her head, eyes full of grievances, bit her lips and held Lantiere's hand, begging with tears

"Rantier..."

Looking at the sad expression of the beloved girl, and thinking of the harsh weather in the north, Lantiere raised his hand and stroked the top of Rococo hair to comfort him

"Be good, you stay here now and get together with your sister. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."

Seeing that everyone disagreed with taking him to the north, Luo Keke ran away with sobs and grief.

On a snowy winter day, in a dilapidated wooden house, a pair of children with cat ears and beast tail hugged each other.Wearing too thin clothes on the two children, it is difficult for them who are already thin in this severe winter to suffer.The slightly older child, with eyes full of pity, will find it from nowhere, wrap the worn-out blanket as tightly as possible and nestle in his arms, the four or five-year-old child shivering from the cold.

The four or five-year-old child caressed his stomach that was shriveled due to hunger, and looked at the child who was hugging him tightly with eyes full of grievances.

"Brother, I'm so hungry..."

Frowning slightly, he looked at his brother who was cold and hungry in his arms. The seven or eight-year-old child bit his lips lightly. Looking at the cold and severe snow outside the wooden house, he gritted his teeth and said to his brother.

"Tim, my brother heard that there is a tavern not far ahead that can get some food. You wait for me here, I will be right back."

Just as the seven or eight-year-old child was about to get up and leave the wooden house, the child behind him, named Tim, stretched out his hand and held his brother's hand tightly with eyes full of horror.

"Brother, don't leave me alone. I'm scared..."

Sighing softly, the seven or eight-year-old child stretched out his hand to grab the blanket wrapped around his brother, stretched out his hand to hold his brother's hand tightly as if he had made up his mind, and said

"Okay, it's windy and snowy today, you have to keep up with me, you know?"

Reaching out to hold his brother's hand tightly, the four or five-year-old childishly said firmly with eyes full

"Well, I absolutely! Absolutely! I won't let go of my brother's hand!"

Two childish-eyed children struggled to push open the dilapidated wooden door that was crumbling by the wind and snow.Braving the wind and snow with each other's support, they walked towards the only lively and luxurious tavern in this small town a hundred meters away.

Two hours later, the two villains, shivering from the heavy snow, finally rushed to the tavern not far away.The elder brother looked at his younger brother who was shivering from the cold, and rubbed his hands together to warm him up. He held his younger brother's hand and rubbed it to keep him warm.

Looking at the very lively tavern in front of him, which he had never seen before, my brother swallowed lightly and mustered up the courage to walk up the steps of the tavern. Looking at the tavern owner who came out of the tavern, he said timidly

"Boss, we two brothers haven't eaten properly for seven days. Can you please give us some leftovers."

The tavern owner, who greeted the guests after dinner with a smile on his face, turned his head to look at the two brothers in ragged clothes and said with contempt

"Just you two poor beggars, you still want me to feed you! Go, go, don't bring bad luck to us!"

Just when the tavern owner was about to raise his hand to drive away the two brothers, he was held by a werewolf man in a white fur suit

"It's very pitiful to see them in this snowy weather, so give them the roast leg of lamb that I haven't eaten yet."

As he said that, the tavern owner asked his servants to bring him a roast leg of lamb with flattering eyes, and gave it to the grateful child very rudely.

In turn, the tavernkeeper is very much not bothered to drive away children.

The seven or eight-year-old child hugged the still warm leg of lamb with eyes full of gratitude, and looked at the gentle werewolf man with eyes full of tenderness.He ran quickly to his younger brother who was still waiting in the heavy snow.

Just as the two children were very hungry and devoured the roast leg of lamb, a hungry wild dog growled eagerly, looking at the fragrant roast leg of lamb in their hands.He rushed towards the two of them directly. Just when the two children closed their eyes and thought they would be bitten by wild dogs in horror, after a wild dog screamed, a gentle voice asked the two of them with concern.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

Opening their eyes tentatively, the two children stared at the werewolf in Chinese clothes in shock, and were speechless for a moment.

Looking at two children who are a few years old, they are so destined to be with me.The werewolf man said with a gentle smile

"I don't have any children either. We are so destined. Would you like to be my son?"

Looking at the man and the two children who gently extended their hands to him, a smile finally appeared on the ignorant, childish and haggard faces.

Wearing winter clothes to keep out the cold, Lantiere lightly pursed his lips and looked up at Mogana, which had been snowing heavily all year round. The sky was rarely clear.Not far away, a huge black cheetah straddled a man wearing a thick cloak against the cold, and approached the people of Lantiier from far to near.

Someone came to stop the mount below him, and took off the dark brown cloak hat on his head.It turned out to be a cute boy with white hair and red eyes, with a pair of rabbit ears on top of his head. The boy bowed lightly to Lantierre and said respectfully

"Your Highness, guests who have come from afar. I am a non-commissioned officer of the Marquis of the North, and I am here to pick you up to meet our Marquis."

Nodding lightly, Lantiere smiled slightly.

"It's work."

Lantiyer and the others followed the sergeant to a castle that was hundreds of meters high. In front of the tall and majestic gate of the castle stood two werewolf soldiers, saluting the sergeant solemnly.

The sergeant nodded lightly to signal the soldiers to open the doorway

"This is His Royal Highness and his friends from the capital."

After saluting to Lantierre with eyes full of respect, the two soldiers shouted for someone to lower the city gate.

Unlike the biting cold wind outside, the castle is like a spring day in comparison, full of beautiful flowers of various colors.In the warm castle garden, a man of about 25 years old with cat ears and brown hair looked dotingly at a boy in front of him who looked seven to eight times similar to himself, and carefully wiped the oily face on his mouth with a handkerchief.On the other hand, the boy obediently let the man wipe his face, while the black and brown cat's tail waggled happily behind him.

Seeing this kind of scene, the rabbit-eared non-commissioned officer who was accustomed to it coughed lightly.The man who was concentrating on wiping the oil on the face of the cat-eared boy came to his senses after a while.I see people saluting

"The Marquess of the North, Luno Linkate, sees His Royal Highness."

Looking at the calm and capable man in front of him, Lantiere lifted him up with eyes full of admiration.

"I heard that the Marquis of the North is very good both as a person and in governing the North."

Before the Marquis of the North could answer Lantierre's words, the cat-eared boy with a very lively personality beside the Marquis slightly narrowed his golden-brown eyes, and smiled with his eyes full of white teeth.

"The whole north is rumored how powerful His Highness was in the border town of Mork a few years ago, and wiped out the treacherous and cunning coach of the succubi."

Instead, the young man with cat ears raised his eyebrows, approached Lantiere and shook his head lightly, looked around and said contemptuously

"Looking at your appearance, you haven't seen anyone yet. I thought you were a burly man, but I didn't expect you to be like a woman. It's quite boring."

Hearing his younger brother's disrespectful remarks about Lantiere's first meeting, the Marquis of the North's eyes obviously darkened. He walked up to his younger brother and held his wrist, slightly frowned and said angrily

"Tim, how can you speak so rudely to His Highness!"

The boy who was called Tim by the Marquis of the North puffed up his cheeks and said lightly

"That's right! Why didn't I see how amazing he is!"

Before Lantiere could answer, the irritable Babur raised his epee and shouted in anger.

"You brat! What are you talking about!"

Lantiere smiled instead of anger, stopped the tall Babur with one hand, patted the black jade flute in his hand, and pursed his lips with interest, looking at the young man who was obviously arrogant and unafraid of him , and did not turn his head to the Marquis of the North.

"Marquis, your brother is really interesting."

Seeing that Lantiere was not angry, the Marquis of the North let out a soft breath, let go of the anxiety in his heart and said

"Your Highness, my younger brother is spoiled by me, but he has no malicious intentions."

Instead, the Marquis of the North signaled his servants to take Lantiere and others to the guest room to rest.

Watching Lantiere and the others walking away, the Marquis of the North exhaled softly, held his brother's hand and frowned slightly.

"Didn't His Highness tell you before he came, you should pay more attention to your words and actions."

Still don't feel that I did something wrong, the boy called Tim is full of indifference

"This is my brother's territory, and he can't do anything to me."

Looking at Lantiere who followed the waiter into the room to rest, the Marquis of the North disagreed with his brother's idea and said

"At the age of [-] or [-], with my own talent and calmness different from my own age, I was able to solve the dilemma of the border city of Mork for more than ten years. Of course, this prince is not as gentle as he appears on the surface."

As he spoke, the Marquis of the North caressed his younger brother's hair with worry in his eyes and said,

"It's better to pay more attention to what you say and do in the future. I can't be by your side all the time for the rest of my life."

Hearing that it was impossible for his brother to be by his side all the time, the boy with cat ears held his brother's hand very anxiously.

"Brother, what do you mean by that? Don't you want me?"

Hearing his younger brother's words, the Marquis was both angry and funny, kneading his younger brother's face with both hands and saying

"Little fool, how could my brother not want you. What I mean is that people are sinister. You should be more careful about other people besides me, and pay more attention to what you say."

Gently patted his face away from being pinched by his brother, Tim nodded obediently and said

"Well, I see bro."

dinner time

In order to welcome the people of Lantiyer, the Marquis of the North ordered people to cook a lot of delicious food.

Raising his wine glass, the Marquis of the North smiled lightly and said

"Welcome Your Highness and your friends. These are the food I asked the cook to make. I don't know if it suits Your Highness's taste."

Looking at the rich food in front of him, Lantiyer raised his glass and said with a smile

"This time my friends and I came, and the Marquis made so many delicacies in his busy schedule. I thank the Marquis for his hospitality."

Just as everyone was pushing cups and enjoying delicious food, a werewolf man with a burly figure and obvious aloof eyes kicked the door very rudely and walked in.

"Hey, you invited His Royal Highness the prince of the capital here without even saying a word! Did you not pay attention to my uncle!"

Stopping the action of tasting the food in his hands, Lantiere turned to look at the dignified Marquis and asked

"Who is this Marquis?"

Looking at the werewolf man who suddenly entered the hall violently, the Marquis of the North put away his slightly angry expression, and turned to Lantier to introduce Humane

"This is my father's younger brother, Viscount Rehart."

The man known as Viscount Rehart sat on the side seat with pride and took a sip of wine

"Why don't I remember that my sister-in-law gave birth to a beastman son like you."

Holding back his younger brother's angry movements, holding back the anger in his heart, Marquis Luno said with a light smile

"It was my negligence for not notifying uncle in time. Afterwards, I will come to the door and deliver your favorite Ning'an tea to uncle."

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Viscount Rehart stood up, saluted Lantierre, and then pointed out something

"Your Highness, I only like people of pure blood like you. You will be outstanding and respected by everyone. Unlike some two people who have been brazenly staying in the north for so many years."

Waving the Marquis's arm, Tim rushed to the man with contemptuous eyes very angrily, grabbed his collar with both hands and said

"I have tolerated you for a long time! Don't think that you are great because you are father's younger brother! If you talk nonsense, I won't beat you to death!"

Seeing the two people who were about to quarrel, Marquis Luno, who had been holding back his temper, was very angry and smashed the table in front of him.

"Tim! How many times have I told you! Viscount Rehart is our uncle, don't be rude to him!"

Throwing off Viscount Rehart's collar, Tim gritted his teeth and said angrily

"I just don't want to see him! Uncle?! Does he look like an uncle himself!"

As he said that, before Marquis Luno could speak, Tim was very angry and wronged, turned and ran out of the hall.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, he straightened his collar that was wrinkled by Tim, and looked at the man running away, Viscount Rehart's eyes were full of contempt.

Seeing the bad relationship between the Marquis of Luno and their uncle, Lantiere, who was watching a show, slightly raised his lips, smiling with a deep meaning.
