Chapter 1 A fresh start
Weiler walked in with the dining plate and tiptoed. His careful look was afraid that a sound would make a noise that would disturb the people in the house. Unfortunately, Weiler could only control himself. Harlocken strode forward, and the iron armor that was covered with armed soldiers made a clanging impact as they marched, making Weiler glaring at him hatefully.
Harlocken didn't care what Weiler thought, but in fact he didn't even give him a direct eye to the male servant Harlocken. He took out a silver needle from his waist and inserted it into each food. He saw that the silver needle had not changed color before he made way and asked Weiler to put the plate on the table.
Weiler has long been accustomed to this.
Roger, the eldest son of the baron half a year ago, was very strangely poisoned. If there was a mage passing by the territory at that time, if the mage hadn't happened to have some knowledge of pharmacy, Roger's grave grass would probably have grown tall.
Since that poisoning, the Baron finally remembered his eldest son whom he had deliberately forgotten. He sent the warriors Harlocken and Simon, who were skilled in martial arts, to protect Roger's safety. Harlocken is also a stubborn mind. He not only kept vigilant against everyone close to Roger, whether familiar or unfamiliar, but also did not miss the test of every plate of food delivered to Roger. Even if it was just a glass of water, he would use a silver needle to test the poison. In comparison, Simon, who was responsible for protecting Roger at night, was much more casual.
Speaking of the poisoning incident half a year ago, Weiler actually has a secret in his heart.
He clearly remembered that as the male servant of the eldest young master Roger, he had heard some strange sounds late at night when he was poisoned. The source of the sound was the male master Roger himself.
Weiler has been kept in his heart such as traveling through time and useless liberal arts students, and has not been able to understand it until now, but what he understood is that Mr. Roger has changed, become silent, become dazed, and become alienated from others, and it feels like a different person. If he hadn't known that this was Mr. Roger himself, Weiler would have regarded him as a stranger.
Standing by the window, looking at the sunset slowly sinking into the horizon, Roger's eyes were blank and he was stunned.
Everyone will encounter various difficulties. When facing difficulties, you must maintain an optimistic and positive attitude so that you can transform in "pain".
Just like an eagle, an eagle can live for seventy years, but at the age of forty, its beak, claws and feathers are severely aging. At this time, the eagle must make a life-and-death choice: either wait for death; or go through Nirvana - use its beak to hit the rocks until it falls off completely; use the new beak to pull off the aged toenails, and then use the new toenails to pull out the feathers. Five months later, the eagle will usher in a brand new thirty years.
Nirvana may not be glory, but the process of Nirvana must be painful.
Roger's "first thirty years" lived a two-point and one-point life. First, the two-point and one-point line between home and school, and later the school was changed to a company. It was repeated over and over again, without any change, and it was ordinary and boring. If it weren't for eating something he shouldn't have eaten, his life would be mediocre and do nothing.
And now, it is the beginning of Roger's "new thirty years".
"Young Master, it's time to have a meal."
Weiler's words woke Roger up from his wandering, and his blank eyes gradually became divine.
Without moving the dinner on the table, Roger seemed to murmur: "Larry will be adult in two months."
Hearing the Baron's second son's name, Ville's face flashed with fear, his body trembled uncontrollably.
As the servant of the Baron's eldest son Roger, Viller fears Larry's second son, far beyond others, because Roger is the biggest obstacle to Larry's inheritance of the Baron. Out of consideration of his reputation, Larry is not good for Roger, so Viller becomes Larry's punching bag, and he is punished for finding fault at any time, and he has never been injured.
Seeing this, Roger sighed in his heart: "How long have you been with me, Weiler?"
"It's been ten years, Master."
During the Q&A, Roger picked up the tableware. Seeing this, Weiler's mouth twitched a few times. Finally, he lowered his head and said nothing. His behavior was quite strange than usual, which attracted Harlocken's eyes to look back and forth on him.
While taking some of the food on the plate and putting it in front of him, Roger said, "It's been ten years, and it's really long. It's hard for you to live with me over the years. Have you ever thought of changing an errand? Even an ordinary servant is better than following me."
As the eldest son of the baron, Roger, the identity of the baron, should be noble. The reason why he said it should be because there is no word "家".
Unlike the second son of the Baroness Larry, Roger's biological mother was just a maid, and she died inexplicably after giving birth to Roger.
A child with a mother is a treasure, and a child without a mother is a grass. At the beginning, the Baron was pretty good to Roger, but after having Larry, the Baron abandoned him like a piece of shoes and threw him aside and ignored him.
The position of the eldest son of the sacred son is an extremely embarrassing existence. He is the eldest son, so he has the right to inherit the title, but his status as a concubine restricts him, making him only hope to inherit the title, and this hope becomes extremely slim after being born to the genuine Baroness. But as long as he exists, it is a threat that cannot be ignored for other heirs. If he could understand how to endure the situation would be better, he would have been young and energetic, and wrote resentment and hatred on his face. No wonder there would be the poison that caused him to die half a year ago.
What made Roger unhappy was here. It was obviously the cause of others planting it, but he asked him to bear the consequences.
Why?
Isn’t it just that greedy mouth ate a piece of meat-like thing dug out of the soil to taste it? It’s not that everyone says Tai Sui can prolong life? Why do others eat it all the time, but they eat it themselves... It’s all about tears when they say too much, and Roger is very upset.
When he thought that he had eaten the wrong thing, Roger lost his appetite in his current situation, he pointed to the food on his plate and said to Weiler: "Thank you for your hard work over the years, come on, this is a reward for your loyalty."
Weiler's face changed drastically, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Roger, who was facing his abnormality, did not see it, but Harlocken, who was standing beside him, saw clearly. The baron assigned to protect Roger and spoke: "How can a slut have such preferential treatment? Master Roger, please take back your words. Please rest early after the meal, so don't miss my handover with Simon."
Weiler's expression was shocked and he looked at Harlocken with disbelief.
That is, Roger turned his back to Weiler, otherwise he would have discovered the abnormality.
After hearing Harlocken's words, a hint of shame appeared on Roger's face at the right time. After looking at Harlocken for a long time, Roger, who knew that he could not do anything about the other party, could only sigh and instruct Wiler: "Put a cup of bitter leaf water for me."
At the end, Roger added anger: "Don't forget to give it to Harlocken for inspection."
Seeing that Roger did not dare to have an attack on him and could only show off his mighty appearance to the male servant, Harlocken couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart. He had been sent by the Baron to protect Roger for almost half a year. This young master Roger was just dazed and was confused all day long. He was obviously a mediocre person. He treated such a person carefully at the beginning, but he no longer took Roger seriously after a long time.
Weiler came to Harlocken with a cup. A few slender green leaves in the cup floated on the surface, and a fragrance spread out with the steaming water vapor. This is bitter leaf water. The water soaked with the leaves of the bitter leaf tree is smelling fragrant but bitter and astringent. Only Roger can drink it in the entire Baron's mansion.
It is said that this bitter leaf tree was discovered by Roger.
Harlocken took out the silver needle and was about to stumble into the cup. Roger just forked a piece of meat into his mouth. Harlocken's gaze was attracted so much that he did not notice that Weiler, who was holding the cup, had a breath of gritting teeth.
"call!"
Weiler seized the opportunity and let out a breath at Harlocken, a ball of powder spurted out of his mouth, making Harlocken's face full of head and face.
Harlocken was shocked: "You..."
Not good, I've been fooled!
Unfortunately, it's too late.
His mind was dizzy, his eyes turned black, Harroken's eyes turned pale, and he fell to the ground with a thump, and he fainted.
Dong!
Weiler sat on the ground, his head and face covered in sweat, and his clothes were soaked.
It's done!
Rogerho stood up and there was no trace of shame and anger on his face when he threw the meat that was about to be put into his mouth back.
The last ray of afterglow of the setting sun shot through the window, dyeing the entire house a layer of aunty red, like a woman's new outfit when she got married, as bright as blood.
Roger called in his heart a certain existence—Cthun.
