Chapter 379

"My dear sister, are you suffering outside?"

"How is that possible! I have little Rin to take care of me."

Iris's hair turned and rubbed her sister, her voice still soft; "I just miss my sister and mother."

"I'm glad you're back..."

Eve looked at Rin and her eyes were blank for a moment.

At this time, Rin's face was less immature than before she left. She looked a little immature, but now she has become a little steady and majestic.

She has also grown taller and has a more unique temperament. Just standing there can attract the attention of many girls (boys?).

Rin noticed her appearance, curled her lips, and turned her head away with a look of disgust.

Even though she made such an expression, she put her hands in her pockets and stood there quietly, looking a little well-behaved.

[Fortunately, her personality is still the same, both well-behaved and rebellious, and the sense of contradiction is praised. 】

Eve thought to herself, and at the same time, because of his disgusted look, her mind, which had already cooled down, suddenly became active again, full of desire to conquer.

Counting the time, she hadn't seen this guy for more than three months.

With the arrival of winter, it is necessary to prepare for future snowstorms and freezing disasters in advance. Because it is close to the end of the year, the country's financial statistics and work summary have also begun to be carried out intensively. She is so busy that she sleeps less than four hours a day.

Under such heavy work, children's love has to be put aside, and there is no time to comfort herself and relieve stress. Eve's thoughts about her brother-in-law have faded a little.

On the way to learn that Lin and Iris were returning, she was still comforting herself that her evil desires had finally subsided, and she didn't have to feel sorry for her sister in the future.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, the thoughts that had been put aside were stirring again.

Eve suppressed her crazy revival thoughts and patted Iris on the back: "Okay, my dear sister, mother is still waiting for you."

Iris nodded her delicate little chin: "Little Rin will also go with me to see mother."

Eve narrowed her eyes slightly: "I'm afraid it's not possible now. Mother has given me other instructions. There is something very important that I need to inform my brother-in-law. Sister, you go first. We will go together after the discussion. Mother just finished the meeting and hasn't left yet."

"Okay!"

Iris waved her little paw at Rin, turned around and went up the stairs.

Rin was extremely alert: "Are you sure it's important? You don't have any other crooked ideas, do you?"

Eve rolled her eyes at him: "I think you are the kind of person who would have crooked ideas about my brother-in-law."

Seeing Rin nod without hesitation, she was not angry, but felt a little itchy in her heart.

But she did have something important to say, and she didn't have time to do anything else at this time.

Besides, this is in public, and you can't touch her, what's the point of talking nonsense.

"Come with me to my study. There's something about the Phoenix family."

Rin's heart moved, and he didn't care about his rejection of the princess, and hurriedly followed.

He came to the study, but he didn't expect that there was someone waiting at the door.

It was a thin young man who looked very weak.

Eve rubbed her eyebrows and waved to him: "Viscount Tony, come in and talk."

Tony hesitated and looked at Rin who followed in, gritted his teeth and followed closely, but his expression was somewhat embarrassed.

Rin was wondering why this viscount was like this. When the door of the study was closed and the soundproof barrier was opened, Tony looked depressed and burst into tears.

"Princess, you must help me!"

"What's wrong?"

"Princess, that Baker took his brother's wife, he is worse than a beast! I believe you will definitely seek justice for me."

Eve's expression was slightly stiff, and suddenly she felt... as if something shot herself.

Chapter 26 Brother-in-law, this must be a special fate

"???"

Rin stared at the question marks on his head, looking at the noble crying in front of him, his face full of embarrassment.

Good guy, can such a scandal be said in front of outsiders?

Or has he automatically ignored this young master?

Rin maintained an awkward but elegant smile, and said calmly: "Since it is an important matter, should I leave for the time being?"

Eve's face was also a little stiff, even though she had recovered from the surprise of being suddenly shot by an arrow.

"Viscount Tony, regarding this matter... we can only talk about it in private. Fortunately, Rin is not a big mouth, otherwise it will be spread all over the place."

"I just want to let everyone know about the scandal! Let's see if he still has the face to be this noble!"

Tony's face was a little ferocious. He didn't care much about the presence of others. Now that the words have been spoken, his blood pressure is even higher.

Eve rubbed her brows: "But if this gets out, what will happen to your wife?"

"Her, ha."

Tony's disgust became more obvious: "At first she lied to me that she was forced, only... Never mind, I don't want to mention her anymore. Anyway, Your Highness Eve, I hope you can make the decision for me."

Eve really didn't want to get involved in this kind of shitty thing, but she couldn't ignore it when it got out of hand. The kingdom still values ​​the image of the nobility.

"This matter, well, I will ask the royal family to send someone to understand the situation later. You don't have to worry too much. Go down first."

Tony wanted to say something else, but in the end he didn't dare to say more in front of the eldest princess, and turned to leave the study.

As soon as he left, Eve breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back gently on the chair.

"Your Highness Eve, what happened?"

Eve propped up her chin and stared at Rin. Now that they were the only two people left in the room, she could look at her brother-in-law without restraint.

Rin felt uncomfortable being looked at by her, and at the same time, there was a bit of disgust on his face.

The young man was very depressed when he thought of the experience of being picked up by someone and almost being abused, and the black history of receiving threatening letters.

The key is that this guy is Iris's biological sister. The two sisters have a very good relationship. He has not been able to tell this matter to others. Of course, there are also reasons for dignity and face.

"Brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be much more capable."

"Let's talk about business." Rin was too lazy to greet her.

Eve was not angry about his attitude, and followed his meaning.

"The Phoenix family has been making some big moves recently. They have had many contacts with some blacklisted associations, and they have made frequent moves in the military and political fields."

Eve paused for a moment and observed Rin's expression.

There was no panic, no depression, and a calm face, as if he was not talking about his family.

"Originally, due to the influence of the Phoenix family on the kingdom and the political balance... well, of course, it was partly your fault. As long as they did not go too far, they could turn a blind eye, but the Grand Duke has been a bit too much in the past month."

Rin asked: "So, Your Majesty the Queen and you, how are you going to deal with the Phoenix family?"

"I will decide how to deal with it. My mother asked me to inform you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared. As for how to deal with it... I will deprive Grand Duke Orlan of his position as deputy head of the magic corps, and at the same time, the position of Minister of Finance will also be demoted to set an example."

After saying that, Eve stared at Rin with a pair of lake-colored eyes like Iris, her tone was serious and unquestionable, but she was still a little nervous in her heart.

She didn't know Rin's temper as well as Iris, and was worried that he would have a grudge in his heart.

Rin looked normal, still as calm as a well, thinking silently.

He was thinking that at present, all political affairs of the Kingdom of Giorar were basically handled by the eldest princess, which meant that the affairs of the Phoenix family were most likely handled by Eve after the queen nodded.

It might be okay to tell them directly now.

"I came back this time because I actually have something very important to tell Her Majesty the Queen and His Highness."

Eve's beautiful eyes flashed: "Could it be that you became the Son of God? Everyone in the aristocratic circle knows about it now, but it has not been announced to the public."

"No."

Rin took out the image crystal from the ring and summarized all the things on the island, including the experimental report and the correspondence between Orlan and Tegoshi, and put them all on the large desk.

He prepared a total of three copies of the summary of the entire time, one for the church, one for the royal family, and the last for Lina.

The first two were formal records, and the last one written by Rin was very detailed, but it was just a private communication and did not involve official business.

"Please read it first. Besides, I have something to explain about myself and Xiye."

...

This meeting was temporarily over until the evening.

When Eve came out of the study, she seemed to be worried and looked at Lin from time to time.

She knew a little about Orlan's secret research, but she didn't know much. It seemed that he had established many secret societies and recruited many magicians and alchemists.

Eve didn't know what he was researching. After all, each force had similar small groups to study magic and magic devices.

When Lin mentioned that Orlan's goal was immortality, Eve was surprised, but not to the extent of unbelievable.

The legend of the phoenix is ​​still widely circulated in the Kingdom of Giorar.

Eve's first concern was Orlan's evil intentions.

Even she had to be extremely vigilant when facing the first family under the royal family.

Finally, she also understood Rin's purpose. He wanted to expose Grand Duke Orlan and use the bargaining chip of righteousness to kill relatives in exchange for the opportunity to reshuffle the Phoenix family and let him take control.

This is a very common phenomenon in power struggles.

When the royal family wants to deal with a big family, sometimes they will support a person who has a decisive influence on the family, split the entire family, and finally take it down in one fell swoop.

Even if Rin didn't say so, once she really wanted to deal with the Phoenix family, she would have chosen to support Rin or Xiye.

Eve's second concern, or the most concern, was Rin's mention of his and Xiye's identities in the family at the end.

One is a container, and the other is an experimental subject.

If someone else said this, it would be ridiculous.

One is the only young master in the family, the future heir, a genius fire magician, and the other is a second profession below the brave, an invincible swordsman.

The two have such a high status, how can they be treated as guinea pigs?

No matter how unbelievable it is, Eve finally chose to believe it.

Lin had no need to lie about something that could be easily exposed.

The most important thing now was to discuss with her mother what to do, for the sake of the kingdom, her sister, and her brother-in-law.

At this time, Queen Cheryl and Iris were no longer in the audience hall. The two beauties, one big and one small, were in the greenhouse.

Iris chirped and gestured with her little paws, talking about what happened along the way, while Cheryl just listened quietly.

"Xiao Lin is really good, mother. I feel like he is no weaker than Emilia now. He has killed demons more than ten levels higher than him alone. And more..."

Silly Roe Deer's eyes were full of pink hearts, and her heart and eyes were full of her fiancé.

Her Majesty the Queen just leaned on the recliner, squinting her eyes with a gentle smile, and listened with great interest.

"Yes, I knew that Xiao Lin must have potential. It's strange to say... I didn't have this feeling before, but when you brought her to the palace for a banquet, I inexplicably felt that he had great potential."

Iris's hair jumped, and she knew why her mother had this feeling.

It was completely because the former was a false memory instilled, so the impression left was also false. After you appeared, the sense of separation between the past and the present could not be erased.

She and Xiye were most touched by this.

The former was actually love at first sight, and the latter was actually a hidden super brother control, and was suddenly aroused.

However, Iris did not intend to tell her mother and sister about Rin's biggest secret, and continued to talk about what happened afterwards.

On the way back home, the silly roe deer's mouth pursed and suddenly stopped talking.

Cheryl quickly noticed her daughter's mood, and her squinting eyes slightly opened, staring at the silly roe deer strangely.

"My dear, what's wrong?"

Iris's hair jumped wildly: "It's just... just... well, I don't know how to say it, let little Rin tell mother, it's always a very bad thing."

This made Cheryl, who was half lying, subconsciously stand up, vaguely aware that this must be a big deal.

"It's so late, why haven't little Rin and sister finished talking yet?"

Iris wanted to look outside through the glass of the greenhouse, but the surroundings were filled with potted plants layer by layer, and the vines hanging from the flower pots hanging on the top completely blocked the view.
