Chapter 158 Future Daughter-in-law
"Cecilia, will you be jealous of Sissi?"
At this time, Eli turned his head to look at Cecilia who was pouting, and asked her with a smile.
Cecilia, who was called by the master, turned her head away at first and did not answer, but she thought that this would weaken her momentum, so she turned back quickly.
"Eat, of course I have to eat! The master has loved to play with sister Sissi since she was a child, and she also wants Cecilia to play with her. The master likes her so much, how can Cecilia not be jealous."
Cecilia held her hands in front of her chest, still sitting high on the horse without getting off, but from her expression without any fluctuations, it can be seen that she is not jealous of Sissi as she said.
"You see, it's really not my intention to obstruct, it's really for the safety of your backyard."
William, who was caught by Eli, took advantage of Cecilia's words and hurriedly complained, but his stiff body did not dare to move.
"Heh, so you're stopping me from seeing your sister out of good intentions?"
Elai sneered, patted William on the shoulder, and then moved away.
"Of course, you're so wise and brave, with a promising future. It's a blessing for my sister to be on good terms with her. How could I deliberately ruin her good fortune?"
Feeling the pressure on his shoulders ease, William's heart also eased a little.
Because of his sister, he and Eli had been in contact since childhood. Although they didn't become good friends, they were at least familiar with each other. He knew that Eli was a cold-faced but warm-hearted person. Just for his sister's sake, he shouldn't really embarrass him.
But how can I say it? Even brothers may not know each other's hearts, let alone the prospective brother-in-law and brother-in-law? He didn't know whether Eli, who was killing demons like crazy today, would change his temper.
"Well, go back and tell Sissi that Brother Eli is a bit busy recently. I'll go see her after I finish dealing with the engagement with Princess Lina."
As he said that, Eli patted William's back again, then got on his horse and rode away with the beautiful girls who surrounded him. Before leaving, Alyssa even "aww" at William, as if to say that she should also say hello to Sissi.
However, with Alyssa's current appearance, William couldn't recognize her at all. He just thought that Eli's family had another slightly larger dragon to keep company with Alyssa, who had been raised from childhood... uh, from very young.
Eli left with a group of people, and William was still standing on the street in a daze. After a while, he came to his senses and looked up at the direction where Eli and others left. Unfortunately, they had gone far away and he couldn't see their shadows at all.
"Engaged to Princess Lina?"
William stretched out his hand and pinched his face. It hurt a little. It shouldn't be a dream.
As a noble of the Dawn Empire, William knew exactly what Princess Lina's status was in the Empire. No matter who it was, as long as he could marry Princess Lina, even a pig could rise to the top and become a big figure in the Dawn Empire.
Eli was originally the son of a duke, and he had made great contributions on the front battlefield. It was said that his strength was incredibly strong. Now that he had an engagement with Princess Lina, his future was simply unimaginable. Perhaps it was not enough to describe him as being under one person and above ten thousand people.
But they were quite compatible. After all, beauty was only worthy of the strong. Princess Lina was a beauty ranked in the whole continent, and only a young and powerful person like Eli could match her.
William thought about it and muttered to himself while standing there, but soon, he seemed to have thought of something and was stunned again.
Wait a minute! Go to see Sissi after getting engaged to Princess Lina?
You... why are you going to see Sissi after getting engaged? Does my Black family look so easy to bully? Do you want my sister to be your mistress?
William was furious. He stood there and got angry for a while, then again, but finally realized that it was useless to get angry. Could the Black family afford to offend Eli now?
Even the Emperor promised his most precious daughter to him. Could the Duke of Black be more arrogant than the royal family?
Poor Garcia, she had always wanted to be the bride of her brother Eli, but the extremely noble Princess Lina got there first. The daughter of the Duke of the Empire could only be reduced to being someone's concubine...
On this side, William was no longer in the mood to have fun, and he walked home with a sigh. On the other side, Eli had already returned to the Duke's Mansion with his men and dragons.
Because they were gathering the team and delayed on the road, the Duke and Duchess of Bruno, who left a step later, arrived home a step earlier than them. At this time, the two were sitting in the hall, waiting for Eli to come to see them after he arranged the guards.
These guards had originally followed him to the battle from the Duke's Mansion. Now that they were back at the Duke's Mansion, they had their own residences, so Eli didn't need to arrange them. He just gave an order and they went back to their homes.
Soon, the crowd dispersed, leaving only Eli and a few girls to meet their parents in the hall.
As a local native, Cecilia of course warmly invited the newcomers Evelyn and Eleanor to sit in the hall. Jessica, also a local native, although not very talkative, still said "please" to Evelyn and Eleanor.
As several people walked into the hall together, Duke Bruno picked up the cup on the table and took a sip, but his eyes were looking at the girls around Eli. As for the Duchess, she was not as fake as Duke Bruno, she just glanced at these girls.
Needless to say, Jessica and Cecilia, after accompanying Eli on this expedition, the relationship between the three of them should have become closer. Just looking at their figures, there is no sign of pregnancy, which is a bit of a pity...
As for the girl in the magic robe, she looks soft and frail, but her posture and manners are very good. She must also be from a noble family. Her appearance is not inferior to Jessica and Cecilia. She is also a first-class beauty. Her Eli is just right.
As for the last one... The Duchess's eyes stopped on Eleanor. No matter how she looked at it, there was only one thought in her mind. This won't work. It won't work. My Eli is a great contributor to the empire and cannot be reduced to a criminal...
etc? What's going on with this dragon? She looks familiar, is she Alyssa's sister? What about Alyssa? Didn't the family send it to Eli?
After watching the daughter-in-law-to-be, the Duchess noticed Alyssa who had followed her into the hall. Although the Duke's Palace was grandly built and the hall was spacious and bright, it was impossible to build it as high as a three-story building. , Alyssa lowered her head and squeezed in step by step. Inside, it couldn't stand up at all and could only curl up into a ball.
"Ouch~"
Alyssa, who hugged herself into a dragon ball, howled in grievance. She used to love playing in this hall, but now she can't move here no matter what?
"Ai...Alyssa?"
It wasn't until she heard Alyssa's childish wailing that the Duchess exclaimed. Even Duke Bruno, who had always acted like a patriarch, looked sideways. Apparently, he was also affected by Alyssa who had grown several sizes. Shocked.
It’s only been half a year since we last met, why has Alyssa grown so big? Did Eli and the others sneak pig feed into Alyssa's dried fish?
"Ouch~"
My brother's mother is Alyssa's mother. When the Duchess called her name, Alyssa quickly responded with a cry.
"It's really Alyssa, what are you..."
The Duchess was speechless as she spoke, and she didn't know what to say. She didn't expect that in the past six months, Jessica and Cecilia's belly had not moved, but Alyssa's belly had become so big. Already...
"Uncle Longo, please find some craftsmen to come over tomorrow and renovate the parts of the house that need to be renovated, otherwise it will be inconvenient for Alyssa to walk anywhere."
At this time, Eli found a sofa to sit down by himself. Looking at Alyssa huddled in the hall, he called the housekeeper who was accompanying his father and asked him to arrange the renovation of the Duke's Palace.
In response to Eli's instructions, Butler Longo glanced at Duke Bruno and then agreed. After so many years in the Duke's Mansion, he only needed to look at his master's eyes to know what to do.
"Come, Evelyn, sit next to me. Eleanor, you go sit on the little stool over there. It suits you better."
After talking about the little things about Alyssa, Eli, as the future owner of the Duke's Palace, of course had to invite the guests to sit down. However, his different treatment earned Eleanor a big eye roll. Why should Evelin sit on the sofa? She wants to sit on a small stool?
If it weren’t for the fact that the little stool was really cute, I wouldn’t have sat on it! After thinking about it, Eleanor sat down on the small stool with a bear pattern. The height was just right, and her feet could rest firmly on the ground.
"Father and mother, let me introduce to you, Evelin, a girl I met by chance in the army. She is one of your future daughters-in-law. She was born in the Principality of the Undead and is currently a seventh-level necromancer."
After inviting Evelin to sit next to him, Eli stretched out his hand to pick her up in front of everyone, and then generously introduced her to his father and mother. This was the woman he had chosen. Nothing to hide.
"Uncle...Hello, uncle and aunt...I...I am Evelyn Taylor. My father is Earl Taylor of the Principality of the Dead, and my mother was born in the Principality of Telles and is also the daughter of an earl. I joined the army not long ago and I have no position... …”
Unlike the generous Eli, Evelin met her boyfriend's parents for the first time. It was obvious that she was nervous. She even stuttered a little at first. Fortunately, Eli was by her side and held her hand to encourage her. Only then did Evelin, who was almost sweating, calm down.
"Okay, okay, I can see that Evelin is a good child. With you...well, now that you are by Eli's side to take care of him, we feel more at ease."
Under this situation, as the head of the family, Duke Bruno couldn't speak easily, so the Duchess could only come over and take Evelin's other hand to express her satisfaction. However, when the Duchess was speaking, the corner of her eye caught Guaiguai. With Jessica and Cecilia standing behind Eli, she quickly changed her words "with you" to "too much of you".
After all, the new daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law, and the child bride who has been raised at home since she was a child is also a daughter-in-law. Regardless of whether Eli is close or distant, as the future mother-in-law of several daughters, she must first have a bowl of water.
"In addition to Evelin, Princess Lina is also one of your future daughters-in-law. I don't need to introduce her specific situation to you. You should be familiar with her better than me. It's just that she didn't come with you this time. Wait until tomorrow. I’ll take her to see the second elder again.”
After introducing Evelin, her father and mother had already witnessed Princess Lena's incident in the palace, but Eli still mentioned it.
"You don't need to tell me about little Lina. Mother is very happy that you can get along with her. After all, she is... uh, mother will not treat you differently. Evelyn, don't worry. The same goes for Jessica and Cecilia. Even if the princess marries in, mother will not let her bully you."
Speaking of Princess Lina, the Duchess's eyes seemed to light up, but before she could get excited, she noticed that the girls present had some subtle changes in their emotions, so she quickly changed her words and promised to treat them equally.
Although Evelyn, the daughter of the Earl of the Undead Duchy, was far behind the noble Princess Lina in status, not to mention Jessica and Cecilia, who were born in the common people, the Duchess did not despise any of them.
Evelyn looked gentle and gentle, and the Duchess fell in love with her at first sight. As for Jessica and Cecilia, she had watched them grow up. They were called Eli's personal guards. In fact, the Duchess always treated them as half daughters.
Princess Lina is indeed very good, but aren't these three beautiful girls attractive? Look at their cute little looks, who wouldn't be confused?
"My mother and I have the same idea. Not to mention just an engagement, even if Princess Lina really marries in, she will only be one of my wives. Her status in the family will not be half a point higher than yours. Everyone is equal."
After taking over his mother's words, Eli also expressed his attitude. He was not a person who was good at keeping things balanced, so he could only simply and rudely not let any one end stand out from the beginning.
Hearing the words of the mother and son in front of her, Evelyn glanced at Jessica and Cecilia quietly, thought about it, turned her head and looked at Eleanor who looked indifferent, and then exhaled lightly.
"I believe Eli and my aunt, Evelyn will not argue with others."
Evelin's voice was soft and sticky, but her tone was surprisingly firm, as if she had made a great determination.
As for the other two, Jessica is not a problem, but Cecilia is a little...
As I was thinking, I saw Cecilia pouting her lips, with a look of "I just want to win favor". As the first person to be intimate with the master, what's wrong with her being a little jealous?
However, in order not to embarrass the master, Cecilia can only swallow this jealousy. At most, she will only fight for it verbally in the future and maintain her stubborn personality...
