Volume 2: Boundless Walker Chapter 7: The Ke family!

The driver shook the reins, the guards went ahead, and the carriage followed.

Inside the carriage, Gabriel... no, or rather, Gabriel K, the third son of Grand Duke Scrooge K was looking at Goethe with an apologetic look on his face.

"I didn't mean to deceive you, Goethe!"

"I entered the police station under the alias Gabriel a year ago. My father and Lord Credor both knew about this, and they acquiesced to my willful request."

"Then, I didn't know I would meet everyone as Gabriel."

Gjir.K said as he made a formal apology.

Then, reintroduce yourself.

"Gergeir Ke, the third son of the Ke family, is a poor fellow who does not pursue his career and dreams of becoming a painter. However, he lacks talent and has been rejected by the Faber Academy of Fine Arts for two consecutive years. He had no choice but to return home and join the police station under the arrangement of his father."

"Faced with such a pitiful fellow, you won't blame him, right?"

Having said that, Gejiel K looked at Goethe, Swart and Sheila with a look of feigned grievance.

"Won't."

Goethe answered briefly.

"It's just hard to imagine that someone of your status, Master Gejier, would actually work at the police station."

Swart was amazed.

Xila remained indifferent in front of outsiders.

This look made Gejiel K's gaze linger a little longer.

However, the third son of the K family did not forget to answer Swat's questions.

"For a third son who came back in despair, this is already a gift from my father. My second brother has said more than once that my father favors me. My father is a very strict person. He threw my eldest brother into the army when he was ten years old, and my second brother had to learn from the advisors. Only I am different. He lets me pursue what I want to pursue."

Gjir, K looked respectful when he mentioned his father Scrooge K.

It's not superficial respect, but respect from the bottom of the heart.

Swart immediately nodded in agreement.

"Scrooge was as harsh as he was famous."

"You have a sister, right?"

"This little princess is truly favored!"

Swart was trying to find out the news without leaving any trace

"Nina is the favorite of my father, me, my eldest brother, and my second brother!"

"She is the undisputed princess of the North!"

"As long as she wants it, we will give it to her in the North!"

When mentioning his sister, the third son of the Ke family immediately smiled.

"That's happiness!"

Swart exclaimed.

"The girls of the Ke family don't need to hold up the sky of the North like the men do. They just need to be happy - that's what my father said."

"It's a pity that we don't have more sisters! My mother passed away after giving birth to my sister. It was a big blow to my father! At that time, my father needed to drink alcohol to fall asleep for a whole year."

"Luckily, Fabol's group of idiots came and wanted to invade the northern border. My father took my eldest brother to the battlefield and killed 1,900 Fabol soldiers with his own hands. Then he completely cheered up."

The young third son of the Ke family continued to talk with Swart.

During the rest of the journey, Goethe and Shila remained silent, leaving the situation entirely to Swart.

The sheriff performed his job quite well.

When the carriage drove into the castle, Goethe couldn't help but think of another "Grand Duke"!

It is also a suspension bridge.

Also a horse-drawn carriage.

Then……

The 'Grand Duke' died just like that.

"Scrooge would never do that, would he?"

Goethe thought to himself as he stepped out of the carriage.

"Fire a gun!"

The 'superhuman' among the guards looked at Goethe who was walking down and shouted immediately.

Bang, bang, bang!

A team of a hundred guards fired shots into the air.

After three times, military music started.

This is a welcome ceremony unique to the Guardian family of the North - a welcome ceremony that incorporates military style.

Not as complicated as traditional aristocracy.

There is no such waste.

'I would rather make two more bullets than cover the entire castle floor with flowers.'

This is also one of Scrooge's famous quotes.

"Master Goethe, please follow me."

The old butler walked in front to lead the way.

Goethe and his party followed behind.

Georg K and Goethe walked side by side.

"The two brothers are already waiting in the hall. If they offend you in any way, Goethe, you must not take it to heart."

The third son of the Ke family said in a low voice.

"Well, no one would be happy with the person who got a portion of the inheritance for no reason."

Goethe expressed his understanding.

"Believe me, this definitely doesn't include me."

"Because I have already received my share. After I failed the exam twice in a row and returned to the North, I was no longer eligible to inherit the territory. I can only receive a certain amount of money every year."

"I wanted to use the money to continue pursuing art, but at that time I met Mr. Credor, who saved me from an accident and told me that there are more things worth pursuing in life besides art. I wanted to join the 'Secret Keeper', but my father didn't allow it. In the end, I could only become the contact person of 'Supernormal' in the police station."

The third son of the Ke family sighed helplessly.

"Of course, Father has no problem with the 'Secret Keeper'."

"only……"

At this point, the third son of the Ke family, who always knew everything and said everything, paused.

Goethe looked at him in surprise.

"Let your father tell you about this."

The third son of the Ke family shook his head and said nothing more.

A group of people entered the hall.

The rough style is completely different from Luster's.

There were no superfluous decorations in the hall, not even the traditional portrait paintings that the nobles liked.

There are neatly stacked rock walls and weapons hanging on the walls, from ordinary long swords to dragon spears that require three people to operate. Archduke Scrooge's hall is a complete arsenal.

Moreover, it is not just for show.

Judging from the shine of the blades, Goethe could guarantee that these weapons could be used as soon as they were taken down.

At this moment, there were already two people in the hall.

A man in a black military uniform, with a long sword hanging from his waist, with an angular face and very sharp eyes.

The other one was wearing a four-piece vest and holding a cane. When Goethe's eyes swept over him, the other party was spinning the cane non-stop. His face, which was 50% similar to the former but quite gentle, was hung with a polite smile. However, facing Goethe's gaze, his eyes were quite disdainful. But when he saw Sheila behind Goethe, his eyes lit up.

"My beautiful lady, may I know your name?"

The man holding the cane slid and appeared in front of Xila.

"cannot."

Sheila said coldly.

This answer made the man feel even more interesting.

When the other party was about to say something, the third son of the Ke family gave a bitter smile.

"Brother, please don't do anything rude."

"This Ms. Sheila is Goethe's female companion."

Gejil.K stood in front of Xila and his second brother.

He was well aware of some of his brother's bad habits.

In the past, you could pretend you didn’t see it.

But today?

no!

Facing Gejiel K's obstruction, Enmlai K curled the corner of his mouth.

He wasn't worried about his brother's reaction.

He was worried about his older brother and father.

Or rather, he had already felt his elder brother's sharp gaze.

"Ma'am, please forgive me for being rude."

"I'll apologize to you later."

As Enmlai.K said this, he flashed back to Simlai.K's side.

Immediately, the eldest son of the Ke family withdrew his gaze.

During the whole process, the eldest son of the K family did not say a word except to stay on Goethe for a while, but his eyes and gestures controlled the whole situation.

'Superhuman'!

Goethe gave a positive guess.

Still a very powerful 'superhuman'!

The other person's gaze made him feel pressured!

It's not just Simlai K.

So is Enmlai Ke.

The speed that the other party just displayed is not something that an ordinary person can do.

Is that Gil.K?

Goethe looked at the third son of the K family.

However, at this time, the third son of the Ke family ran towards the small door on the side with a smile on his face.

There, a girl wearing a red and black skirt, holding a teddy bear in her hands, appeared. She had a delicate face, red hair and twin ponytails. She looked very similar to the third son of the Ke family, but she had an amazing beauty.

Sometimes it is like this, when a certain appearance appears on a man, it is just okay, but when it appears on a woman, it immediately has a magic of contrast that makes people unconsciously attracted.

Goethe did not.

Although Goethe was looking there, his eyes were attracted by the little bear in the other person's hand.

His heart told him that this stuffed bear was scary.

“Is this the heritage of the Northern Guardian family?”

Goethe thought in his heart, silently watching Simlek, Enmlek and Gejierk surrounding the girl. Even Simlek, who had a serious face and sharp eyes like a knife, had a gentle face and tender eyes at this time.

And that Enmlai.K didn't care at all, not paying any attention to other people's eyes, and just performed "magic" for the girl - a magic trick of snapping fingers, using visual difference to make people think that the thumb was really moved.

Gejiel K cooperated with Enmlai K.

The girl's identity was beyond doubt.

There is only one girl in the entire Northern Territory who can be treated like this by the three sons of the Ke family.

Nina.C.

The youngest daughter of Lord Scrooge and a princess in the North.

Just as Gejiel K said, the three of them truly doted on this younger sister.

But the girl surrounded by her three brothers did not seem happy.

Holding the teddy bear, he stood silently in the corner with his head down.

Especially after discovering Goethe and his group in the hall, he slowly stood behind Simlek, which made Enmlek, the second son, frown.

The second son of Scrooge had not seen his sister smile for three years.

Moreover, I am becoming more and more afraid of meeting strangers.

This is not a good thing.

Enmlai Ke looked at his brother.

Simlai Ke also frowned.

Gejiel K looked even more helpless.

At this moment, an old man with white hair and beard walked out.

"Simulai, Enmulai, Master Gejier, Miss Nina."

The old man smiled and saluted.

"Counselor Klayon."

The children of the Ke family returned the greeting at the same time.

Then the old man looked at Goethe.

"Master Goethe Wayne?"

"Please follow me."

The old man said this and motioned the children of the Ke family to follow, but Xila and Swart were signaled to stay where they were.

Walk through the hall.

Entered into a small hall on the side.

Goethe finally met Archduke Scrooge.

A tall, middle-aged man as strong as a bear.

The other person was wearing a linen shirt with short sleeves, revealing arms that were three times thicker than an ordinary person's thighs. When he saw Goethe, he was so excited that he rushed over and hugged Goethe.

"My dear nephew!"

During the bear hug, the other party slapped Goethe's back hard.

Goethe's face changed slightly.

Even with his physical fitness four times that of an ordinary person, he was unable to break free.

and……

It really hurts!

After slapping him more than a dozen times, the grand duke finally let go.

He looked at Goethe with a distressed look on his face.

"Why are you so thin?"

"You must not have eaten well!"

"Someone, please stew the earth dragon I caught yesterday to nourish my nephew."

The loud voice was like thunder.

This... is a terminal illness?

Goethe was silent.

If this was a terminal illness, most people would have died long ago.

The third son of the Ke family looked at Goethe's silence and kept his eyes straight in front of his father.

But Nina K couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

The third son of the Ke family saw this scene.

Then--

"Welcome, my cousin."

Simlek hugged Goethe and patted his back hard.

It hurts as much as Scrooge.

Stronger and faster than me.

Such a body is as terrible as that of Lord Scrooge.

Goethe commented silently in his heart.

"Welcome, my cousin."

Then, Enmleik hugged Goethe, but it didn't hurt.

Is it really just speed?

Goethe continued his evaluation.

"Just for show, 100 gold grams."

Enmleike's voice rang in Goethe's ears, and Goethe immediately grimaced in pain.

And Gejiel K also came over.

This time the 'welcome hug' was normal, with both parties observing basic etiquette.

Well, Gejier.K offered 200 gold grams.

The men in the Ke family once again showed through their actions that they really doted on Nina Ke.

This is a kind of complete abandonment of status and position, leaving only the love of family.

Family?

A respected and majestic father.

The eldest brother who inherited his father's majesty.

The second son who is not very reliable but loves his family.

The third son is a little spoiled, but still has self-awareness.

And the little daughter who is loved by her father and three brothers.

It is truly an enviable family.

Goethe sighed.

He had never experienced this before.

So, at this time Goethe was a little bit envious.

His eyes unconsciously looked at Nina K. who was standing next to Scrooge K. The girl was holding a teddy bear in one hand and holding her father's hand with the other. She didn't look like a girl of sixteen or seventeen at all, but rather like a little girl of six or seven years old.

It's not mentally ill.

It's just that it's too well protected.

Pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Really...very good.

Goethe looked at Nina, paused for a moment, and then looked towards the corridor.

Why hasn’t the earth dragon stew arrived yet?

Scrooge looked at his daughter lovingly.

It was rare for him to see Nina looking happy, and this made the old father even happier.

Not only did my daughter get to see her nephew, but she also became happy.

It’s really great!

Then the Archduke noticed Goethe's expectant look.

"Where's Clayon? Why hasn't the food been served yet?"
