Section 6 Promise

It was indeed a guest. Through the window, Ashu Rufate saw that it was a young man, about twenty to thirty years old, wearing gorgeous embroidered gold clothes, a top hat on his head, and not carrying a weapon. The horse he rode over was a snow-green horse, the kind of horse that could tell the extraordinary martyrdom at a glance. The young man held his whip, and the handle of the whip emitted a golden luster, indicating that there was gold wire wrapped around it.

In short, these signs are enough to prove that this visitor is a rich man, but a rich man who likes to boast about his wealth. In addition, from his calm and composed expression and his leisurely and contented actions, it can be seen that he is a regular visitor here, at least not the first time he visited. However, for some reason, he stood at the gate and did not come in.

The two sisters soon arrived at the door.

"Mr. Lyle, what are you doing?" Just from the tone, you can tell that Xingke has no good impression of this man.

"I'll propose to the beautiful and lovely Miss Para." The man named Lyle smiled and saluted the two sisters. "Please give me this opportunity."

"Even if I want to give you a chance, you have to be qualified first." Xingke's voice was cold. "No matter what, I can't marry my sister to a man with heavy debts." She looked at the whip in the man's hand and the snow-green horse he rode over. "This horse...you shouldn't have borrowed it?"

"Oh, your attitude deeply hurts me." Lyle said in an exaggerated voice. "Are I so unbearable in your eyes? Can't I pay off my debts and propose again as a clean and innocent person? Can't I come to the door with my own horse and dress? For a man, what's that kind of debt?"

"It seems that you have been gambling recently."

"Oh, you misunderstood. I haven't gambled for a long time. Because love has really changed me." Lyle turned his face to Xingjian. "Miss Pala, since I saw you that day, your beauty has always circulated in my dreams. It has made me sleepless at night. You have taken away my heart. Oh, please don't be so cruel. After doing such an excessive thing to me, why do you ignore me? Let me only spend every day in pain. If it weren't for you, when will my lost heart return to my body and let me feel the beauty of the world? As long as you agree and a word, you can save me from this hell of lovesickness and give me a new life!"

Xingjian lowered his head, his hands were squirming uneasily, and he did not dare to look at Lyle head-on.

"You really paid off all your debts? That's not a small amount." Xing Ke took a step forward and blocked his sister behind him.

"Are I such a person without credibility? Of course I have my income. Oh, please don't question me. My heart, which is deeply painful for love, can no longer bear other blows."

"..." Xingke looked at the snow-green horse again. Such a good horse is valuable... Everything in front of her made her a little confused, but she could not ask the other party's source of income directly, because that would be too impolite. But by the way, this should not be a lie, because such a lie is too easy to be exposed, so meaningless.

Lyle walked a few steps into the slant, avoiding Xingke that was blocking the way, and met Xing again.

"Oh, Miss Para, your face, your eyes and smiles have been surrounding me in your dreams... Your tenderness and beauty have completely conquered me. I am already a prisoner of your love and can only be dealt with by you." He bowed deeply. "Why do you never respond to my enthusiasm?"

"That's just your wishful thinking." Xing Ke once again stood in front of his sister.

"Wishful thinking? I would rather use another word: lovesickness. It is tormenting me and making me endure the torture of hell at all times."

Ashu Rufate in the room curled his lips. But he also knew that no matter how true these sweet words were, there were indeed many women who took this trick.

"Aunt, who is this man named Lyle?" he asked.

"A suitor." Aunt Mary replied with a smile. When she faced Ashu Rufate, her brows had completely relaxed. "Don't think that my two nieces are the type that no one pursues. However, this man is a person who likes gambling, so the two sisters won't like it... Speaking of which, this situation is a bit troublesome."

"trouble?"

"Speaking of this, Xing saw that the child is too weak and not very good at rejecting others. If she agreed casually in a panic, she might...well, make things... difficult."

...

"You can't even understand my enthusiasm and sincerity? Why can't you give me a promise...Who are you?" Lyle was stepping up the offensive, but unexpectedly a strange man came out of the house.

The man looked about the same age as him, with a slightly thin figure, no hat on his head, and a crutch in his hand. The clothes on his body were simple, but they were definitely not the ones of servants. Lyle was sure that he had never seen this man, because there was a conspicuous scar on the center of the man's face, which was slanted across the bridge of his nose. This scar usually made people look ferocious, but for some reason, the stranger's face did not look ferocious.

If I met him somewhere else, Lyle might take a second and a half to look at him, or even not notice it at all, but now, this man has come out of his sister's house. This itself shows some things.

"My name is Ashu Rufate. I am honored to meet for the first time." Ashu Rufate walked up to the side of the two sisters. He suddenly dropped his crutches, hugged Xingjian's shoulder with one hand, and hugged her in his arms. "I'm sorry for disturbing, but I feel I have a responsibility to declare: This Miss Para is my fiancée."

The two men looked at each other. For some reason, Ashu Rufate felt that the other party did not have the jealous hatred of meeting the rivals. Of course, this does not mean that there is no hostility in Lyle's eyes. His jealousy was so obvious that people would never make mistakes. However, this is not the jealousy between rivals.

Lyle was silent for a few seconds, as if weighing the reliability of the statement. Then he looked at the star on the other side with inquiring eyes.

"That's right." Xingke can only answer this now. "The marriage decided by his father."

"...It's really a pity. It seems that my enthusiasm is being done by fate... Miss Kaqiuya, you have never made a marriage. I wonder if I have this honor to get your favor? I know that you are a conservative woman, so I will go to Countess Marianne..."

Regardless of whether Lyle's words were unintentional or some hint, Ash Rufate immediately cut off his expectations. He put his other hand on Xingke's shoulder and leaned her body against his side.

"I'm very sorry, but I still have to make a statement. They are the two of them who are marrying me."

"Two sisters? This is impossible!" Lyle's face changed drastically. "I don't know where you, a scoundrel, came out, but I remind you that this is not a place for you to go wild..."

"Why is it impossible?" Another voice sounded. Then someone came over.

"Countess Marianne." Lyle recognized who the other party was, "I'm glad to see you." Although he took the initiative to greet him, his voice sounded very reluctant.

"Mr. Lyle." The old woman said in a arrogant manner. "Although you love my two nieces, unfortunately, they already have fiancés. Let me introduce you to this one, Ash Rufate, the fiancé of my two nieces. Their marriage was decided by the parents of both parties. I am the witness."

No matter how Lyle felt in his heart, under such circumstances, he could only suppress his anger. After a few polite words, he flew onto his snow-green horse and rode his horse away.

"Now, can you let go?" Xingke said coldly after watching Lyle walk away. Ashu Rufat let go of his hands that hugged the shoulders of the two sisters, but felt his body soft and almost fell to the ground. He actually didn't do anything just now, but it had exceeded the load of his body.

A little while later, he lay back on his bed. Now, Aunt Mary and him were the only ones left in the room.

"You did a good job, but you were also very reckless," said the old woman. "The cat who wants to catch two mice often cannot catch a mouse. Although you drove that guy away, you actually got nothing, and it only increased their disgust towards you. But from my perspective, I think it's not bad."

"Who is that Lyle...?" Ashu Rufat still remembered the look and the angry look of Lyle before, but it was a bit unusual.

"You don't have to care too much about this person. A playboy nearby." The old woman replied. "I heard that he owes a lot of debts because he likes gambling... I was probably planning to find a rich wife to spend time with him, but it was just his type, it would be fine to hook up with a woman, and it would be difficult to find a wife. Because even if the little girl is ignorant, at least his parents will not be so stupid. No one can like him... Maybe it's because of this that he came to my two nieces."

Ash Rufate did not refute. But he felt that things were definitely not that simple. Not to mention anything else, the divine snow-green horse, the whip wrapped in golden thread... the person who can possess such things is not like a down-and-out child.

"But you said that kind of thing..." Aunt Mary suddenly said, "Have you made up this decision?" She looked at each other, "This is not the content of the engagement... But to be honest, since I am their only direct elder, if I allow it, if the two of them agree, it is reasonable even if the engagement changes."

"A year." Her voice suddenly became serious. "Ash Rufate, I'll give you a year. If you can use this year to prove that you can give them happiness, then it's not unacceptable to marrying them both, at least I won't object." Her voice paused.
