Chapter 258 Answers

When Ashu Rufate just woke up, he was just a wounded person who was seriously injured and had no body (considering that his aunt had not moved even those certificates of deposit, she naturally could not hide his other luggage). His aunt did not do anything bad to him, and also married him as a witness to his two twins, Xingmi and Xingke, who were regarded as their biological daughter. It is precisely based on such an obvious fact that Ashu Rufate never doubted what his aunt said in the past.

He had an engagement with Xingjian and Xingke - from the beginning, Ashu Rufate had never doubted this. Of course, perhaps there was a little "kind lie" in Aunt Mary's words, or perhaps the "original version" of the engagement was different from the current situation. But that was not a big problem. In fact, if it weren't for the obvious hint of Aunt just now, Ashu Rufate would not have doubts about the engagement itself until now.

Aunt Mary did not answer, but just looked at the painting in front of her thoughtfully. As mentioned earlier, the painting has been basically completed, and the only flaw is that the hero's face has not been drawn yet.

It should be particularly noted that the painting on Aunt Mary's easel at this time was the first painting that Asu Rufate had seen. It was the hero standing in a gorgeous room, wearing a dress. If you want to describe this scene, it should be that the hero was dressed neatly and was planning to go out to attend a dance party. Aunt Mary once asked Asu Rufate as the model of this painting. Although she didn't know the reason for doing this, the figure of the person in the painting was indeed somewhat similar to Asu Rufate. She was a young man who had been strictly trained, with a tall and slightly thin figure, but she would never give people the feeling of being "thin".

"You are a very special man," Aunt Mary said suddenly. "Actually, you... are not of the type that is very good at pleasing girls. This is different from my deceased husband."

She spoke with an abnormal smile. This smile Ash Rufate had seen, which was a smile unique to her aunt's mind falling into memories. In fact, it was not only limited to her aunt. When an old man recalled the beauty of his youth, he always easily showed this kind of smile.

"If you put it in a normal environment, with your personality, you should not be the type that is easy to please girls. But if you change the environment... If it is a certain sinister condition, you are the kind of person who can truly rely on and trustworthy. In that case, no matter what kind of woman you are, you should be attracted to you. Because in times of crisis, no matter what kind of gorgeous appearance, humorous conversation, etiquette, bloodline, are all unnecessary waste. Only real strength can be meaningful and courage. The girl you are with may be difficult to say in other aspects, but if you encounter danger, you will definitely protect her."

Ashu Rufate suddenly realized that the topic had been turned into an inexplicable direction by Aunt Mary. However, he could not seem to pull the topic back directly, because it would be impolite. In addition, he was actually a little curious about Aunt Mary's affairs, especially these strange paintings.

"I can't forget when he first met me... it was just an ordinary dance. I was very clumsy and stepped on his feet twice. But he didn't seem to notice it at all. His eyes kept looking at me, making my face hot and my heart roar. At the end of the dance music, when we were separated, he smiled and invited me to sit next to him...I... never made such an invitation to me...I remember that day, I was sixteen..."

Aunt Mary was already trapped in some unexplainable memories and muttered softly. As she said these words, her brush quickly pointed a pair of light blue eyes on the canvas.

"He is a hereditary border lord, and he holds the important position of the White Fort Guard, and is an important royal official... Compared with his property and status, my family... is really small. Others once said that he is a rough and lustful man, and it is better to say that he is a bear than a person... There are also many people who say that I was sold to him by my parents. Haha, some of them are not rumor... But if time can be traced back, if everything can be returned, I will definitely marry him again."

Aunt Mary murmured softly. Her brush quickly outlined the male protagonist's face and mouth shape on her blank face. The male protagonist was smiling. It didn't feel like a painting, but like a window through it.

"Earl Mikel?" Ashu Rufate asked tentatively.

"Yes, Mikel, everyone calls him that, and I call him that too. I still remember my wedding with him... Although it was a side room, my wedding was still very grand, which made others secretly envious..."

"He ended up..." Speaking of this, Ashu Rufate had already known the final result of this Earl of Mikel. This was no secret at all - just find some related history books and read them. In fact, even if you don't read the book, Ashu Rufate had long known about Aunt Mary's later becoming a widow (and remarriages one after another) and having a large legacy. "Drunk in the battle with the Chaos Legion?"

"Dead? Ah...yes...he's dead." Aunt Mary put the brush aside, put this painting aside, and replaced it with another painting on the easel. It was the painting of the background of the war. It was different from the last time Ashu Rufate saw. Now the male protagonist of this painting (Earl of Mikel is already convinced that this is Earl of Mikel) has also outlined a general outline. Aunt Mary's brushwork is quite exquisite. Although it is still a rough outline, you can already see fatigue and pressure from that face, which is completely different from the calm smile just now. Earl of Mikel is wearing a full pair of armor and smiling. But his smile is a bit reluctant. If you want to describe it, it should be a forced smile to comfort others.

Aunt Mary opened her mouth, and she seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't say it. Her brush could not fall. After a while, the old woman put down the brush dejectedly.

"You asked me why?" Aunt Mary asked in a daze.

"Yes...yes..." After all, when Ash Rufate asked this sentence, he actually felt a little bit of anger in his heart because of being deceived, but now this anger disappeared for some reason. On the contrary, looking at Aunt Mary's expression, he couldn't help feeling guilty.

"Actually, there is no reason. My two nieces are not young anymore and need a husband."

This answer made Ash Rufate unacceptable. In any case, the twins are from famous families and proletariats, not to mention that they have such a wealthy aunt as their backer. In terms of appearance, the two sisters are completely beautiful. With such basic conditions, how could they just find a homeless man who was unconscious and injured on the roadside to go home to be fiancés? Not to mention their level, even poor farmers cannot choose a husband for their daughter in this way.

No matter how you look at it, this is also a ridiculous thing.

"Is it difficult to understand? You should know that my two nieces have learned black magic. They... are not girls who can marry casually." Aunt Mary replied.

Black magic? By the way, it’s black magic! If the black magician is taught, the outcome will be self-evident. So twins cannot get married at all - husbands are always easier for their wives to know their wives’ secrets than anyone else. Even if twins are good at hiding, they should not be able to hide such things for the rest of their lives. Who knows what actions this husband will do after knowing his wives’ secrets? Unless... that husband himself is also a black magician!

Wait, what this sentence means... They have known for a long time that I know black magic? However, they slowly knew this after their injuries were completely healed.

Several information quickly rotated and collided in the mind, and then came to seemingly reasonable conclusions.

"Of course, at that time, I really wanted to borrow the title of "fiance". But then... I guess you can understand it without me saying it. They both really want to spend this life with you."

She sighed long.

The two looked at each other and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Is that just that?" Ashu Rufate finally broke the silence. The news he received from Aunt Mary just now was a bit beyond expectations. He really didn't expect that things would be like this.

"It was like this at the beginning." The old woman lowered her head and said. "But, a good man always shines no matter where he is. You finally proved yourself... So, I regret it now. In fact, there is not only one way to get you a noble status. I shouldn't have sent you to Eagle City. Maybe, at that time, you just need to move a house. We just need to leave Bracian and hold a wedding in a different place. But at that time, who would have thought that you could make such a contribution with a personal guard position? Who would have thought that you could easily attract the queen's heart? Ha... Actually, what I should have thought of... was just selectively forgotten."

"Aunt, I can ask, why did I return that certificate of deposit to me? I lost my memory and you also know this. If you hide that money, I will never know it. That certificate of deposit...is a certificate of deposit that recognizes the bill but not the person."

"Why do you do this? At that time, I already regarded you as my niece. You will be my heirs, and all my property is left to you. What's the point of hiding me? It's not a small amount of money, enough to seduce even the most loyal souls. If someone stole it, my fault would be too great."

"Is that true..." Asu Rufat whispered to himself.

"Well, anyway, that's really a lie. Do you want to tell them yourself or let me tell me?"

"What?"

"Tell those two girls the truth." Aunt Mary said. "There has never been a marriage contract, so as long as you don't agree, you have no relationship with them... Even if there is, it is a relationship with lovers. For men, that's not a shortcoming."

"Auntie, why do I have a feeling... Even if I didn't ask, you would tell me all this."

"That's how it is. You should... leave tomorrow... and command this war as a general." Aunt Mary said. "So I originally planned to tell you all this tonight."

Asu Ruffat was silent for a while. "Auntie, you told me... I was in the past... I raped them both before I lost my memory? Is this a lie?"

"A little truth in the lie." Aunt Mary smiled. "They once met you, and then something like that happened. So we knew you were a black magician, and we knew you were a mercenary. So I know a little about you."
