Chapter 31 Adele, Become Lear's Lover "Lear, how dare you attack Adele?" Eric, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was furious, and the waiter who was pushing the wheelchair also had an embarrassed expression on his face. The waiter also knew Lear and Eric, the two sons of great nobles who had just duelled for the princess's engagement not long ago. One wanted to steal the other's princess fiancee, and the other attacked the other's sister... He could only say that the young nobles really knew how to have fun. Looking at the pretty beauty beside Lear, the waiter showed an envious look. He could only dream of having close contact with such a noble beauty. The noise in the corridor attracted the attention of many nobles in the banquet hall. Duke Norton recognized that it was his son's voice. He frowned, said "excuse me" to the noble next to him, and walked towards the direction of the voice. At this time, many nobles had gathered there. When Duke Norton came over, some nobles made way for him, and Duke Norton saw Lear and Eric confronting each other. What surprised him was that his daughter Adele was standing behind Lear, and her behavior was somewhat intimate.
"Lear! Do you want to humiliate me so much?" Eric gritted his teeth. He thought that he had tried to snatch Lear's engagement before, so Lear attacked Adele as a revenge against him. It's just that he didn't win the duel, but looking at Adele's shy look, his sister must have been tortured by Lear! Although he doesn't like his sister very much, it is still a shame! "Eric, please don't slander me. I just had a friendly exchange with Adele. We are both nobles, so this should be a normal behavior." Li'er saw what Eric was thinking and put his arm around Adele's shoulders with a wicked smile. Adele also acted obediently, not because she liked it, but because Lear had the upper hand over her. That's right! That's it! "Do you think I'm an idiot?" Eric was so angry that he was shaking all over. Just when he wanted to argue, Duke Norton came over. "Enough." Duke Norton scolded and looked at Eric with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Ever since the last duel, Eric's emotions have been easily out of control. He has been in a daze all day long and no longer has the composure that an heir of the Norton family should have. Eric's mage level has also dropped a lot, and his talent has become much worse. Recently, Duke Norton has begun to consider whether to create another small account. Eric's account is basically useless. Faced with his father's scolding, Eric was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but he saw the sharp eyes of Duke Norton. Stopping Eric from arguing further, Duke Norton looked at Lear and Adele. "Adele, aren't you coming back yet?" He said expressionlessly, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. Adele bit her lip and could only walk obediently to the Duke of Norton. "Stuart boy, shouldn't you explain to me?" Duke Norton stopped Adele behind him and continued, "What did you do to my daughter?" "Your Excellency the Duke, I just had a friendly exchange with your daughter. I really didn't do anything." Lear shrugged. The nobles around all showed amused expressions, and no one believed what Lear said. Facing such a beautiful girl, how could nothing happen when the two of them were alone in a compartment? Ivian in the crowd gnashed her teeth. She had repeatedly stressed to Lear not to mess around, but now he had messed around with the Duke of Norton's daughter. It was really outrageous! Everyone was looking at the Duke of Norton's reaction; his own daughter was harmed by the son of his arch-enemy.
Although the kingdom's customs were open, they were too open. Duke Norton was silent for a long time. He did not get angry as everyone imagined. Instead, he said calmly: "I hope what you say is true." After saying that, Duke Norton actually led Adele and Eric away. Everyone looked at each other in surprise. This was completely different from what they had imagined! Lear also frowned. ...The banquet ended in a strange atmosphere, and Lear was caught by Avian and interrogated thoroughly. The Duke of Norton and his son and daughter were sitting in the carriage, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing. After a long while, he suddenly said to Adele: "Adele, what do you think of Lear?" "..." Adele was stunned for a moment, "Father, you..." "You don't have to consider my relationship with the Duke of Stuart. Just based on your own thoughts, what do you think of Lear?" Duke Norton waved his hand and continued to ask. Now not only Adele, but even Eric noticed that something was wrong. "Father, you don't want to..." Eric seemed to have thought of something and spoke quickly. "Shut up!" Duke Norton interrupted Eric before he could finish. He glared at Eric, then looked at Adele, his eyes becoming gentle. "It's okay, Adele, just say whatever you think." Adele hesitated for a moment, then expressed her opinion of Lear, "I think Mr. Lear is very gentle and handsome." Hearing this, Eric suddenly raised his head and stared at Adele. How could his own sister speak of his enemies like this? Compared to Eric's reaction, Duke Norton was much calmer, and he seemed to have expected it. After a smile, the Duke of Norton asked again: "Do you like Lear?" "Father, haven't you already betrothed Adele to Fedor?" Eric finally couldn't help but interrupt. "Fedor? Is that rubbish who blasphemed the Golden Saint worthy of my daughter?" Duke Norton snorted coldly. That's not what you said when you accepted Count Bauer's gift yesterday! Eric couldn't help but complain in his heart. Duke Norton looked at Adele again. When he saw Adele and Lear together today, he had an idea in his mind. He looked at his daughter seriously. "Adele, you go be Lear's lover." "What?" Adele's eyes widened. She couldn't imagine that these were the words her father would say. Eric on the side was also stunned. "You go and be Lear's lover," the Duke of Norton repeated. Adele was stunned for a while before she responded, "But Lear and Her Royal Highness are engaged." "So what if you have an engagement? Which noble doesn't have a few lovers?" Duke Norton said disdainfully.
Adele opened her mouth, unable to refute. Even her father, the Duke of Norton, had many lovers. "You don't have to feel wronged. I heard a secret at the banquet just now. Princess Milia is missing and now we don't know whether she is dead or alive. The king concealed this matter. I'm afraid even the boy from the Stuart family doesn't know about it." "So now is your chance, go and seduce Lear, use your beauty, charm him, and make him fall in love with you." "If you really like Lear, this is your only chance. Use your ability to firmly grasp Lear in your hands! What can the princess do?" Duke Norton looked at Adele deeply, and finally he told her his purpose. Adele listened to her father's words and didn't react on the surface, but she felt very strange in her heart. Lear asked her to go undercover in the Norton family, and now her father asked her to seduce Lear? (End of this chapter)
