Chapter 2217:
Only here, what she said, the phone call she made would not be noticed or heard, and only here could she lick her lonely scar by herself.
"Don't you want to go on a blind date, Mi Lei..."
Opposite Mi Lei, an old man was sitting on a wide leather chair with his back facing her. The old man’s eyes were kind and peaceful. He looked at the entire Ashford College through the wide glass windows. This college, It is one of the few assets of the Ashford family.
"No, I will follow my mother's instructions."
Mi Lei shook her head gently, clenched her fist tightly, and said firmly.
Mi Lei knows that although she is the granddaughter of the president of Ashford College, she has the title of noble, but in fact, the Ashford family has gone from bad to worse. If nothing unexpected happens, wait until the grandfather passes away, the noble of the whole family The title will definitely be taken away, and the last bit of the Ashford family's property will also be plundered by the greedy nobles.
This is the final fate of the fallen aristocracy!
Nearly twenty years ago, Princess Mariana had just married the Emperor of the Empire. Even though Mariana was once the most powerful knight of the Round Table, she was just a knight from a commoner background. This identity was in the palace. In this complicated environment, the final outcome will only be left out and no one cares about it.
Mariana, who only made great contributions in the Blood Emblem incident, has always been favored by Charles, so Charles at that time personally looked for a nobleman to support her, and this nobleman was the Ashford family.
The Ashford family knows how to judge the situation. After analyzing the emperor's meaning, they boldly confronted the entire aristocratic group and firmly supported Mariana.
With Ashford’s support, Mariana, with her status and backstage, was indeed a fish in the palace, and her status gradually became detached, and the Ashford family also reached the pinnacle of their family’s career because of this gamble. When the entire family was at its peak, even the production and research of Knightmare completely fell into their hands. At that time, the Ashford family was the most glorious nobleman in Britannia.
It’s a pity that the good times didn’t last long. When Mariana was killed and the living became dead, Ashford lost the support in the palace. The nobles who had fought back made a comeback. Naturally, His Majesty the Emperor would not continue to shelter a dead concubine. This family threw the entire Ashford family out like an abandoned child. Not only did the family lose almost all of its property, but now it even lost the title of nobility.
In this case, the Ashford family has no ambition to continue to restore their glory. All they think is how to retain their noble title, and marrying a noble is the easiest and easiest to succeed. Methods.
Mire Ashford is the victim of the marriage.
And maintaining the status of the family is also Mi Lei's obligation.
The elderly Patriarch looked out the window quietly. He experienced the glory of the family and the downfall of the family. In this life, he has experienced too much.
"Mi Lei, do you remember the family motto of our Ashford family?"
The old man's body is a little thin, but his tone is still full of breath.
"Find a way to get benefits from where you can't get them."
Mi Lei replied word by word.
This is a family motto that every member of the Ashford family must keep in mind.
"That's the way...we back then, from Princess Mariana, who all the nobles were afraid to avoid, got benefits that we couldn't even think about. This is the embodiment of our family motto. Although I am older, It is no longer possible to lead the whole family to glory, but ah, seven years ago, I did everything I could and did everything I could."
"That's where we can't get benefits, but Ashford, we must find a way to get our benefits!"
"Seven years ago..."
Mi Lei murmured, she clearly remembered that seven years ago, it was the moment Japan was defeated, and seven years ago, it was the first time she met him.
——
The spring breeze blowing over the earth seven years ago brought new resurrection to Japan, which had just experienced the war, and the current 11 districts. The gentle rain wiped out the wolf smoke on the earth, and the naughty cherry blossom petals fell under the mild sunlight. Falling in the rain like a mirror, just when the cherry blossoms were flying, Mi Lei saw the boy for the first time.
"Jiang Luo!"
The black-haired boy was grinning, and his appearance was very unreliable, but in those deep black eyes, Mi Lei only felt a deep chill.
The development of girls is always very fast. Even the current Mi Lei, she has gradually shown a good figure, and the tall man is half a head taller than the boy in front of her.
"I heard~ I'm Miley Ashford, please give me your advice. Grandpa said that I would show you around this college. He said that this is where you will live in the future, but are you alone? "
Mi Lei looked around suspiciously. He clearly heard that Grandpa said that there were three people. Why was there only one?
"Nanali's health is a bit bad today. Lulu is taking care of her. Just take me to visit it alone. I will introduce them to this college later, Miss Mi Lei."
"Lelouch, Nanali?"
Mi Lei whispered and nodded nonchalantly. These two names are the two people who haven't met.
"You don't need to be so nervous, I'm just one year older than you, and I don't need to use honorifics."
Mi Lei shook her hand and said carelessly.
"Are you going to high school?"
The boy stared at Mi Lei's figure that was foul, and said thoughtfully.
"Well, I will report to the middle school department in a while, why? Do you think I am a high school student? In fact, I look alike, look at the lines of my body!"
Mi Lei took a humorous tone and turned around in front of the teenager with pride, showing him her beautiful figure, but by coincidence, a spring breeze blew by, and the updraft drove her short skirt Blowing, revealing the girl's private parts.
The young man tilted his head and stared at the scenery under her skirt. Then Wu Yin turned his head slowly, as if he was avoiding Mi Lei's light. Obviously, he had seen everything!
Item 0113
"you saw it?"
Mi Lei pressed her skirt down with her hand, and after a moment of silence, she stammered and asked.
Although she is usually bold, she is still a girl after all, and she will be shy about such things.
"Good taste, I didn't expect that you are not big, but you are unexpectedly bold in your clothes. Don't worry, I won't talk about it."
"Hey... I am not worried about this."
Mi Lei said dubiously.
"Oh? In other words, do you want to let others know? Ah, I didn't expect Britania's girls to be so awesome."
With a smile on the boy's face, he said teasingly.
"Your reaction is really..."
Mi Lei didn't know how to complain.
"Okay, okay, if you delay it like this, we probably won't have enough time. Let's take me to visit the academy."
‘Who the **** is delaying whom. ’
Mi Lei curled her lips in dissatisfaction, but still took Jiang Luo to visit Ashford College.
"Needless to say what you can find on the map and the student handbook, Mi Lei, you know, tell me the details of the architectural plan and various facilities here. Of course, it is best to tell me in detail, such as if there is a fire or explosion , Natural disasters and man-made disasters, where should I go."
The boy asked seriously.
Mi Lei has countless words in her heart that she wants to complain about, how insecure this guy is!
"Won't you investigate those things yourself?"
