Chapter 41: i must love you
It was an old-fashioned and serious old man. Although his hair was gray, his back was still straight and his eyes were shrewd. The long scar under his eyes made his eyes look sharper.
Moreover, he has a chilling temperament on his body, which is an temperament that ordinary people cannot possess, and an temperament that can only be tempered in war.
The blood of the Slot family has more power than ordinary people, so they are generals for generations, and the interstellar peace treaty was signed only about 50 years ago.
Therefore, the owner of the Slot family is someone who has really experienced the battlefield.
"Patriarch." Everyone saluted him.
Hill called out "Grandpa" in a sweet voice.
"Yeah." Duke Slot responded, not looking at anyone else, but stopped directly on Mu Er.
Mu Er recalled Isser's teaching today and saluted in a regular manner, but the "Grandpa" could not be called out.
She whispered "Homeowner" and tried to fool her.
Yisser was right next to Mu'er, and when he heard Mu'er's voice, he tilted his head slightly, as if he wanted to remind him.
Duke Slot said, "You don't need to change your mouth. You'll change it when you get used to it."
His expression was still majestic, but his words were surprisingly kind.
Mu Er whispered: "Thank you."
Duke Slot raised his hand to her and motioned her to take a few steps forward. He looked at Mu Er carefully, and said with a smile, "You have worked hard outside all these years, and you can still achieve such results without the family. He's a good kid."
Mu Er didn't know how to answer this.
She felt that she hadn't achieved much, and what Duke Slot said was really a compliment.
"Is it hard to travel all the way?" asked Duke Slot again.
Moore shook his head.
Hill said on the side: "I went to pick up my sister today. She is very gentle and we had a good time chatting."
Duke Sloter nodded with satisfaction. He said, "Hill used to stick to his brother, and now he likes to stick to his sister. He's really a small child."
Hill said: "Because I have always been favored by my older brothers and sisters."
Duke Slot said: "In two years, you can get married, and it's time for you to mature. Your sister will come back. You have to take care of her more."
Hill smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely take care of my sister a lot."
He said, looked at Mu Er, and winked at Mu Er.
Mu Er just wanted to tear off Hill's mask on the spot. She finally knew why this little devil did all the bad things, but there was no doubt about it.
He's too good at pretending.
If she hadn't seen his true face, I'm afraid she would have been deceived by him.
Moore was tired of coping with such a pretentious occasion. In the following chat, she was not eager and rarely spoke, so the chat ended quickly.
Duke Slot prepared a sumptuous reception feast for her.
He told Muir at the banquet: "In the next week, I will arrange for someone to teach you etiquette and speaking skills. After a week, you can officially appear in public."
"Okay." Moore replied.
What this heir needs to do is much easier than Muer imagined. She thought that, as a child who has been kept out of stock all the time, when she returns to such a big family that pays attention to rules and regulations, she will be picky and broken. What about training.
After Duke Sloter told him with a smile, he looked at Hill with a serious face and said, "You have to hurry up on what I told you to do."
Isser glanced at Muir and nodded yes.
Muir listened to their conversation with some doubts.
Why look at her, is it to explain what Isser did, is it related to her?
However, in the evening, Mu Er knew the answer to this matter.
At night, Muir was taken by servants to the room where she rested.
The door of the room was tightly closed, and the servant took him to the door and left quickly. Mu Er wanted to ask about washing clothes and so on, but he didn't have time to speak.
She felt that the servant's behavior was a bit strange. Looking at the door in front of her, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Mu Er hesitantly put his hand on the doorknob, wondering whether to push it open.
It was at this moment that she smelled the scent of milk wafting from the room.
Mu Er's heart trembled, a little unbelievable.
She was quite sure that the fragrance was exactly the same as that of Ji Feicheng, but how could this be possible? Didn't the Slot family not accept him? How could Ji Feicheng appear here, and the milk smell seemed to be very strong.
Is it a fever period?
Mu Er didn't think any more, and immediately opened the door and walked in.
There was no light in the room, and it was so dark that she couldn't see clearly. Mu Er vaguely saw that there seemed to be a figure on the bed, so she didn't bother to turn on the light, and hurried over a few steps.
"Jifei City?" Mu Er called, "is that you?"
The man on the bed did not answer. In the darkness, Mu Er felt a hot wind blowing towards her, and then a hot body leaned against her.
The milky scent became more intense, but it made Mu Er feel uncomfortable.
When you get closer, you can smell it carefully. Although the smell of milk on this person is very similar to the smell on Ji Feicheng, there is also an obvious difference.
And the shape of the body leaning on him is obviously not Ji Feicheng.
Although Ji Feicheng is thin, his skeleton is larger than that of an ordinary Omega, but the man in his arms is obviously much smaller.
This body type is very similar to another person.
"Isher?" Muir called out his name in disbelief.
The body of the man in his arms visibly stiffened.
Seemingly guessing right, Muir pushed him away and hurriedly stepped back to a safe distance from Isser.
In the darkness, Isser's voice sounded, and he said, "I was actually recognized by you, doesn't it look like enough?"
Mu'er frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, why does your pheromone smell so similar to Jifei City's?"
Obviously before she touched him, he didn't smell like this.
"Heh." Isser chuckled, perhaps because he couldn't see his expression, Mu Er could hear a bit of bitterness in this laughter.
But this emotion just flashed by, and the tone of Isser's speaking again has returned to normal.
He said: "It's just an operation to change the smell of the glands. If you don't think it's different, I'll try it again in a while."
Moore said: "Are you crazy? Did you know that doing this will damage the glands!"
"I know." Isser seemed to sigh, and he said, "Perhaps, if you pity me, just use it. The smell shouldn't be too bad, so you can treat me as him."
Mu Er felt a headache, how could someone be so stubborn about this kind of thing.
"Don't worry about this kind of thing, even if you smell exactly the same, you can never be regarded as him by me." Moore said, "I love him, not because of the pheromones in him. Even if his pheromone turns into something else, as long as he's him, I'll still love him, you know?"
After being silent for a while, Isser said bitterly, "My lord, I don't quite understand."
Mu Er found it unbelievable. This is the most basic sentimental view of a normal person. How could he not understand it? She said: "Haven't you ever loved someone? Hill said that you used to be my brother's fiancé. You've been with him for so many years, so you must have feelings for him. Maybe you've already done something like that. Don't you feel disgusted by doing this to me again?"
Isser said: "Sir, is love really that important? Maybe you can complete this as a task."
"As the heir to the Slot family, you must have a child with me. This is the task of the two of us."
What did Mu Er react to? She said, "Is this the task that Duke Slot gave you at the dinner table today?"
"Yes." Isser replied hoarsely.
"He told you to do it, and you did it, even at the expense of the glands," Moore asked.
"...Yes." Isser replied again.
Mu Er felt that her three views were affected, and she said: "You are obviously a smart person, but you even listen to this kind of order?"
Isser replied, "Because I love you."
Mu Er wants to swear at this moment, he loves her? She felt that he didn't even understand the meaning of the word love.
"Don't talk nonsense with me, you go and ask someone to help you find an inhibitor, I want to find Duke Slot to clarify this matter." Muir said, turned around and was about to leave.
"My lord." Isser called to her.
The low breathing sounded, and Mu Er was hugged by him.
"Sir, you can not love me, but I must love you."
Mu Er did not understand the meaning of his words for a while, and stood there blankly.
At the same time, Isser's strength tightened, trying to wrap his hands around Muir, and the sweetness became more intense.
However, the smell of unfamiliar pheromones could not evoke Muer's desire, and only made her feel uncomfortable.
She pushed the weak Omega away again very easily.
"You love whoever is the heir of the family, don't you?" Mu Er understood the meaning of what he just said, "Yesser, what you love is your family belief."
"Sir..." Isser's voice trembled, he seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say it completely.
Muir didn't feel his pheromones, but he was in dire straits during the fever period.
"I'll find someone to help you." Mu Er dropped these words and walked away again.
"My lord, I didn't, I did it with your brother..." Before Mu Er walked out of the door, Yi Si shivered and said this sentence with the last of his strength and reason.
In fact, he didn't know why he was so stubborn in explaining this matter.
Is it that important? In fact, Mu Er is right, he only loves the heir of the Slot family, anyone can be, it is his life.
All noble Omegas have such a fate, and have always been so.
"I see." Moore heard him.
She paused slightly, and then whispered, "I'm sorry, what I just said didn't mean that..."
She understands the situation of Omegas in this world. The words she just blurted out in a fit of anger are really hurtful.
"I mean, I hope you love yourself well," Moore explained.
The world is unfair to him, so he should love himself more, instead of being pushed around and doing things that hurt himself.
After saying this, she stepped away again.
Inside the room, in the darkness, a low sobbing sounded.
love yourself?
This was the first time Isser had ever heard someone say such a thing to him, and he had never been taught how to be an Omega.
Be gentle, considerate, smart, please Alpha, pass on the family for Alpha, and raise good children.
No one ever told him to love himself.
He suddenly realized that he had just ignored everything and was anxious to explain to Mu Er why he had never been touched.
Not everyone can, Muir is different.
From the time he pushed the umbrella to himself in the heavy rain, he found that she was different.
He hid in the dark and watched her treat that person well, and couldn't help thinking in his heart, if only he was treated so tenderly.
Isser didn't understand the meaning of love, but he thought, this should be love.
…
After Muir explained that the servant went upstairs to take care of Isser, he ran all the way to find Duke Slot.
"Miss, it's so late, why did you come to the owner?" Butler Gesen stopped her and was surprised by her appearance.
Moore said: "I think you should know what happened tonight. I must find the Duke now. I have something to say to him."
It was only then that she finally understood why Duke Slot only arranged for her two courses that were neither light nor heavy, because he had no intention of cultivating her, and he brought her back not to be an heir, but to passed on to the family.
Gerson asked someone to stop her and said apologetically, "Miss, it's very late now. The Duke has already rested. You should rest first. If you have anything, come back tomorrow."
"Rest?" Mu Er thought what he said was funny, Isher was in her room, how could she rest? Rest with Isser?
"Duke Slot, Duke Slot!" she shouted indifferently.
"Miss..." Gerson tried to stop Mu Er's nonsense, when he heard the Duke's voice in the room.
"Let her in."
Mu Er immediately pushed away the person blocking her and rushed into the room quickly.
As Gerson said, it was already too late, and Duke Slot was indeed ready to rest.
He took off the straight suit that he had seen when he met Moore today, and was wearing a pajamas of soft and smooth fabric.
Without the cover of the suit, Moore found that the Duke's back was not straight. Like all old people, his shoulders and neck were slightly hunched.
He is 70 years old this year, and is already old. Even if the spirit and energy of the past are still there, his body can no longer support him and his back is straight.
"Child, what happened to me so late?" The Duke asked Mu Er who came in first.
Moore said, "Duke, Isser doesn't love me, please don't order him to do this kind of thing again?"
The Duke said, "Why, is Isser disobedient?"
Mu Er shook his head and said, "No, he is very obedient, cuteness is affection, no matter how obedient he behaves, he doesn't love me."
Mu Er said, pursed his lips, and continued: "Me too, I don't love him."
Facing Muir's words, the Duke's expression seemed calm, and he said, "Is this important? As long as you can give birth to a child."
"Let Isser give birth to a child, and you can easily enjoy the aura of an heir."
This granddaughter has been kept outside for more than 20 years, and the duke does not expect anything from her, and the death of his grandson has also made him figure out a lot of things.
"I'm old, I can't wait, I just hope to see the descendants of the Slot family appear soon."
Moore understood his naivety at this moment, and the deep-rooted thoughts in Isser's mind were simply taught to him by the Duke.
She couldn't even persuade Isser, how could she make the Duke change his mind.
"Wait next week, after you appear in front of the media, announce the news of your marriage to Isser." The Duke continued.
When Mu Er heard this, alarm bells rang in his heart.
She knows that this will always happen, but next week is too fast. She is afraid of stimulating Ji Fei City, and she has not told Ji Fei City that she still has a fiancé in this family.
Just getting married so suddenly, what should Ji Feicheng do?
There must be a way to stop it, even if it is delayed.
"Duke." Mu Er quickly thought about the reason, but he didn't know much about the family, and he didn't know what to say, so he just made excuses and said, "I don't want to get married so early, I'm eager to fight."
The Duke's expression changed slightly when he looked at Muir, and he asked, "Why?"
"The Slot family has been a general for generations, and I am the heir, shouldn't that be the case?"
"Do you really think so?" said the Duke.
Mu Er nodded vigorously, and she said, "Yes, I am the direct daughter of the Slot family. This is something engraved in my blood."
When the duke heard this answer, he looked at Muer from head to toe again, and then laughed, he said, "As expected of my granddaughter, our Slot family should be like this."
"However, fighting is not so simple. Holding a gun is not as simple as killing people." The Duke said.
Muir's expression changed slightly.
kill...she...
The Duke saw the hesitation in Muir's eyes, he laughed again, and he said: "But Interstellar has signed a peace treaty. In the past 100 years, there should be no more wars, and you don't need to learn these anymore."
Moreover, the death of his grandson also made the Duke feel lingering fears. He only had Mu Er, a child who could inherit his bloodline for him, and he did not dare to take that risk again.
Mu Ersheng was afraid that he would talk about it, and she would talk about getting married and having children. She hurriedly said, "How can the family inheritance be given up? Let me try it."
Between holding a gun and having a baby, Muir decisively chose to take a gun.
As for killing, the Duke also said that now that there is no war, there should be no need to kill.
Anyway, no matter what you do, let's get rid of the marriage first.
"Duke..." There was a knock on the bedroom door, and Gesen's nervous voice sounded.
"Come in," said the Duke. "What's the matter?"
Gerson said, "Your Majesty summons you."
He lowered his voice and said, "At this time, Your Majesty will summon you..."
He seemed to want to say more, but since Muir was still present, he only spoke half of it.
The Duke also realized the seriousness of the matter, he frowned and said, "I'll go over now."
It seems that today's conversation can't continue, Muir said: "Duke, I'll retire first."
"Hmm." The Duke nodded.
Moore saluted and turned to leave.
But she couldn't help but wonder.
What exactly happened? To be summoned in such a late night, even Gerson and the Duke frowned.
But since the duke is going to the palace, at least tonight she can hide.
Regarding the matter of refusing to get married, she can't think of any good excuses, so she can only take a step by step.
