Two hundred and sixteenth birth

"Ah, bragging. You know, so are many businessmen. People often regard what they may obtain in the future but have not yet obtained yet as their capital for bragging. For example, a businessman claims to earn one million a year, but if you check the accounts, you will easily find that his concept of "one year" is different from normal, or that this "one million" is still on paper and has not yet been fulfilled."

"No, he deliberately belittled his status. For example, he was a great nobleman with a territory, but he pretended to be just an ordinary little nobleman. What is the meaning of this lie...?"

"This... in my opinion, the key is this 'engagement'."

"Entertainment? What's the key?"

"Because the child he intends to enter into a marriage contract is an illegitimate child. If it is an illegitimate child, then this lie will be easily understood!" A Jin replied in detail.

Bastard! This word appears in Ash Rufate's mind, instantly breaking away the fog and revealing the essence of the matter.

Although both parties are considered to be of equal status in the engagement between Ashu Rufate and the twins, in fact, Ashu Rufate's family has a higher status. Because his father is a knight at least, he can be regarded as a nobleman with confidence. And Xingjian and Xingke's parents - they are just squire and nobles without titles, and they are not financially rich.

However, according to the engagement between the two parties, Ashu Rufate wants to marry into the family. According to the general concept, marriage means giving up his family and joining his wife's family. Once the marriage is concluded, Ashu Rufate becomes a member of the other party's family, and even the offspring belongs to the woman's side. However, according to convention, this will never happen unless the man is competing.

In other words, there is such an inconspicuous but very abnormal detail hidden in this kind of equal match.

If it is an illegitimate child... As we all know, illegitimate child does not have legal inheritance rights, let alone property, title, land, etc., even the father's surname cannot be inherited. It is true that there have been examples in the world where illegitimate child inherits the child because there are no legal offspring. However, there are few such examples, and it is very difficult to become a regular child. To be honest, the difficulty of becoming a regular child is much more difficult than a concubine becoming a regular husband. Usually, pressure from outside, such as the command of the king, will be successful. In some popular modern poetry and stories, the protagonists who are born in illegitimate child finally make great contributions, and the king finally comes forward to make his father (and the entire family) correct his name and recognize his identity. People in some areas even believe that if the illegitimate child wants to become a regular child, you must have the will of the king.

Moreover, an illegitimate child is an accusation of his father's absurd life, which is obvious evidence. Even if the illegitimate child is favored by his father, it is difficult for him to stand in the sun. Because admitting that he has an illegitimate child is undoubtedly a slap himself hard in the face, leaving a stain on both moral and legal aspects.

Therefore, although he loved his son, he could not recognize him for various reasons. He could not inherit his title and territory by his son... so he changed his way.

In fact, if you think about it, this kind of huge certificate of deposit that has no interest and withdrawn with tickets is not normal. The bills dispatched by commercial funds can be understood, but this is a personal certificate of deposit. It would be fine if there is no interest, but this withdrawal of deposit is too fatal. If someone stolen, wouldn’t it mean that someone would move away directly from a mountain of gold?

Therefore, this certificate of deposit should have a special purpose, so it has to be done.

"By the way, Ashu Rufate, is this... certificate of deposit, the inheritance left to you by your elders?" Ajin quickly turned the topic back to the aspect he cared about.

"It should be...I...I don't remember it very clearly."

"Only the illegitimate son has such good luck." Ajin muttered softly. His voice was indeed very light, but Ash Rufate had a sense of hearing that surpassed mortals. Ajin was not a fool. He had already drawn his own conclusions from all kinds of clues. Of course, essentially, this was also because Ash Rufate was unintentionally concealed.

The carriage stopped quickly because they had returned to the headquarters of the "Scroll" Chamber of Commerce. Ashu Rufat and Akin got out of the car, but someone was already waiting for him here.

"Mr. Akin, Count Ashu Rufat." The person who greeted Akin and Ashu Rufat was a beautiful boy, dressed simply but dignified, with a smile. In fact, neither of them knew the boy's name, but they knew that he was a subordinate of Rotia. Several times before, Rotia had spoken to them through this boy.

"General Beral hopes to have an informal meeting with you tonight." The boy said. "Her Majesty the Queen has agreed."

"General Berel? Meet informally?"

"Yes, Lord Earl." The boy said with a smile. "General Berel will hold formal discussions on coalition matters tomorrow. So he hopes to have a few informal meetings today."

This request sounds strange, but if the queen has agreed, then it is too late to Ash Rufate to object. Besides, although it feels a bit strange, it is not an overly outrageous request. If you think about it carefully, maybe this is just a careful consideration.

The boy quickly explained some details of this "informal meeting".

"Is it evening? I understand. I will arrive on time."

...

Robin cleverly helped Belar with armor. He was no longer the general's attendant, but when Belar needed, he was still willing to provide all kinds of help to the general. In fact, Robin no longer wanted to be the second Belar. Because Belar was a mountain that could not be climbed for him, he believed that he could only look up to him for the rest of his life.

Like many generals, Beller's armor is also specially made. It is a rare magical product, and it can be worn easily by one person in theory. But perhaps because he is older (of course, it may be because he is too lazy to work hard), Beller needs Robin's assistance every time he wears the armor.

"Robin... to the left... to the left... to the clothes are clamped... OK, that's OK." After finishing his dress, Beller looked at the mirror a little. Having said that, because he was under the name of "going out with illness", Beller never wore armor while marching along the way.

"General, do you really want this?"

"Robin, don't look at me as old as I am." Berel replied while observing the details of his body in the mirror. "But I am very afraid of death. The Ash Rufate we are going to meet this time...it may be a vampire disguised."

“Didn’t you say the possibility is low?”
