Seven Shows - Chapter 10. Meg
Ye Lin was not very accustomed to pulling at the clothes on his body. Well, the clothes in the game appeared as if they would make him feel safer. The world was more dangerous than he imagined, if there were less game attributes, the world would be far more dangerous than he could imagine.
The young man in the full-length mirror made Ye Lin feel a little strange. He found that even though so many years had passed in this world, he still couldn’t adapt to his appearance. His beautiful eyebrows and slender figure might be because of his young form. It made him look even less boyish, but on the contrary, he looked beautiful and elegant, especially when he swept away his vision on his clear eyes, even he himself seemed to have a bit of charm. But he himself was not at all rooted to that kind of thinking! It really frustrated him.
Originally, Ye Lin was not the kind of young man who was big and bulky, but at least he would never be mistaken for a girl since he was a child. He had a tall figure and much thicker bones than a girl, even if he was fair and delicate, he did not look like a girl. Still hearty and bold, not like in the mirror, the figure was slender and obviously more suitable for dancing, straight legs and waist almost comparable to girls, and even the fingers were white and slender, which was enough to attract people’s eyes.
The “people” basically refers to the men.
Ye Lin of this age and appearance was far more beautiful than a girl…
If it was a woman, Seven Shows game’s singing and dancing style was a plus point, but him being a man really makes Ye Lin extremely entangled. Out of a man’s normal psychology, even a man with a normal behavior and a too beautiful appearance would be called a mother-in-law’s kiss!
The costumes of the nobles in this world were similar to those of the nobles in the Middle Ages in Europe. The snow-white shirts were black short coats, and the two rows of beautiful gem buttons were very delicate. The clothes were tattooed with the family crest of the Ambridge family which were with gorgeous lines, Ye Lin found that he didn’t know how to print such lines. It was not embroidery he was familiar with, but it was probably a kind of alchemy that he still didn’t understand. Wearing an azure round cloak, the lace on the chest was made of pure gold silk. In particular, a wide band on the waist, adorned with silver star stones in a family crest pattern, is not an ordinary band, but a special magic item refined by an alchemist. It has a powerful protective effect. The lower body was white. Trousers and dark green boots were the best materials, and even a gemstone sword on the waist was very valuable.
Of course, all of this was not Ye Lin’s own, but was equipped for him by this noble mansion. In this world, there was a special place, a noble mansion. There was such a place in every county. Non-nobles were not allowed to enter. If they were nobles, they could enter and rest and live for free. All the equipment there was in line. The requirements of the nobles were elegant and luxurious, and they could even be provided with some special services. Even the waiters and maids in it were excellent in appearance.
And Lomat County had not received first-class noble children from the capital for several years, so when they saw Ye Lin and Xavier, they were so much flattering. If it weren’t for the fact that the Ambridge family had indeed lost their two children, the notice would still be held in the encrypted special filing cabinets of the county administrators and the lord of the fiefs. He was afraid that the noble mansions of Lomat County would not be like this. They quickly believed them, because this document was set with a special seal. Except for the most senior people, no one else would know that these two children were black haired and black eyed, and the other was black haired and green eyed. He was eleven or twelve years old and was missing for four years.
What’s more, do you think that pure-blood aristocrats with black hair and eyes were so easy to appear?
Even in the capital, there were few such nobles.
The line at the door of the noble county residence was personally drawn by the great magician who was proficient in magic patterns. Any disguise would be invisible when crossing this line, especially the hair color and pupil color.
At first, Ye Lin was worried that Xavier would show the pointed ears of the elves under that line so Xavier put down his hair and put on a hood to go in. Fortunately, this situation did not happen.
Basically, Ye Lin and Xavier’s identities were confirmed at the noble residence in Lomat County, and the news of finding the missing child from the Ambridge family had already been reported to the capital.
On the way, it would take three months. After three months, they would reach the center of this continent, which was also the most prosperous and largest capital city in the world. There was the best school located in. Ye Lin never hoped to be stronger than now. Although he didn’t know how his current body was different from real human beings, he believed that there would always be a way.
“Lin.” Xavier stood beside the carriage, smiling slightly, reflecting on the snow, almost as if he had changed.
Ye Lin’s current name was Lindberg Ambridge. Even if Xavier called him “Lin”, no one would doubt it, and would just think it as a nickname.
The boy next to the carriage was different from the Xavier in Ye Lin’s memory.
Well, as an elf, Xavier was undoubtedly good-looking, but when he wandered in the forest or wandered in the city with Ye Lin, he had never seen Xavier wear a decent dress, mostly like his full dress was just like he was wearing only a coat, he had never been dressed in decent aristocratic clothes like now, fully revealing the elegance and beauty of his whole body that belonged to the elves.
When he saw this Xavier, he couldn’t imagine that he could wear such a dirty gray robe, could endure in a coat with dozens of cuts, and could let the other’s blade cut through the fair and handsome cheeks. Xavier never cared.
But such a neatly tied hair, clean eyebrows, exquisite outfit, even standing with a straight back and the back was particularly eye-catching, as if he was born with a special grace and nobility. Just seeing this appearance, it was enough to make people guess that he might have a habit towards cleanliness, maybe he was very precise about everything in life, if he did not entertain with the best and most valuable utensils, he would feel sorry for such an elegant noble boy.
Ye Lin could hardly conceal the weirdness on his face for a while, and Xavier did not seem uncomfortable, “Let’s go, Lin.”
The waiter in thin robes hurriedly placed a step stool wrapped in a brocade cloth under the carriage door. Respectfully said, “The two young masters, please be careful.”
Ye Lin frowned. He watched the delicate waiter shivering in the snow, but his expression was still numb and humble. He could only sigh and step on the stool to enter into the carriage.
There was a stove in the carriage, and the whole interior was warm like spring.
They did not accept the gift from the Lomat County Administrator, and in the end they never promised to take away the waiter who received them at the beginning. Looking at the waiter’s extremely disappointed eyes, Ye Lin really didn’t know what to say. They only accepted such a set of clothes, and then this carriage to take them to the capital, plus a carriage with a team of escorted knights, nothing else.
The administrator of Lomat County sighed that he was from the Ambridge family. Of course, he did not like these ordinary attendants and the things he tried to send. Ye Lin would not tell him that he actually treated the administrator and wanted to secretly give him the space necklace that he was interested in. After arriving in this world, it was the first time he saw such a large space item in storage space! Almost can fit two or three rooms! But he still didn’t want it. There was a saying that short hands and short mouths were meant to be. Ye Lin didn’t want to drop any hints here. After all, neither he nor Xavier could be sure that they had successfully confessed their identities before arriving in the capital.
The world map of this world was astonishingly large. From Lomato County to the capital city, eight horses were taller than Ye Lin’s horses, and many foreign horse-drawn carriages were galloping. It would take three months, not to mention that this carriage had wind speed magic patterns and stable magic patterns attached by the magician, not only the speed was four to five times that of ordinary carriages, but also the stability was as if walking on the mountain roads.
Three months passed in a flash.
When the carriage stopped and Ye Lin opened the door, the first thing that caught his eye was a woman in a complicated European court dress. She wore a fox fur cloak and a big domed hat that Ye Lin thought looked a little funny. Two beautiful emerald feathers were adorned on one side of the hat. The hat almost covered half of her face, except for her tight lips and a sharp chin.
Ye Lin guessed, is this woman the old virgin Tulip Marquis that Hadriel said?
He and Xavier had inquired beforehand that Lindberg Ambridge and Sal Ambridge had only one relative, the Marquise Amity Ambridge, whose title came from her husband, that Her Excellency the Marquis of Tulip, who went to the battlefield on the day of marriage with her and never returned. The Ambridge family was an ancient noble family with a long history in the capital, but it had almost withered down by the generation. The previous Patriarch, Albert Ambridge, was named Duke of Honor of the Roses, and he was the eldest brother of Amity. He didn’t know until he died that he had only one illegitimate child of impure blood, and the child was of a lowly dancing girl. This child was no one else other than Hadriel. For the Ambridge family, there was also a direct descendant who had been wandering outside all the year round. He was Amity’s younger brother, unlike Albert’s half-brother, this was the brother that Amity always remembered.
Bertram Ambridge, who had almost never passed by in the noble circles of the capital, died earlier than Albert, but he left behind two children, Lindberg and Sal, but Lindberg was still pure black haired and black eyed, even if Sal seemed to have inherited his mother’s green eyes, at least his hair was pure black. Compared to Hadriel, who was not at all like a nobleman. Amity insisted that Bertram’s children should inherit the title. After all, if Hadriel inherited an identity like the Ambridge family, it would definitely be an insult to such a noble surname with a long history.
When Amity raised her head, Ye Lin met her exceptionally shrewd black eyes, and his heart suddenly tightened.
It only took a glance to know that this aristocratic woman was definitely not a fool.
Amity looked at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled, stepped forward and held Ye Lin’s hand tightly, “Linde, I knew you would be back!”
Ye Lin: “…” This was a magical horse, and the existence of Xavier along with it was completely ignored.
Madam!
Also leaving behind his surprise, for that moment, from that large rear skirt of Amity, suddenly a head popped out and said in a timid voice, “Mom, is he the Linde gege u often mention?”
[TL/N: Gege (哥哥) means brother.]
Amity lovingly touched the furry head of the little girl who turned from behind, “Yes, Meg, I will treat Brother Linde as your own brother in the future.”
Ye Lin looked at this girl in horror, who seemed to be only two or three years old. Little girl, wait, madam, you have completely ignored the existence of Xavier!
Wait, that’s not the point, the old maiden or something, was there something wrong with her?!
Amity seemed to know what he was thinking, and coughed softly, “Meg is my only child. In the future, she will inherit my title.”
Ye Lin said “Yeah”, but suddenly remembered and his eyes widened suddenly.
What?!
He was afraid that he would forget, and he had already recorded the names, plots, etc. he remembered. The hero of this novel was undoubtedly Xavier, but there were 20 or 30 heroines! It was unrealistic for Ye Lin to remember it all. He didn’t read it too carefully at the beginning. After all, the plot of the story was more important in reading this kind of novel, rather than the means by which he remembered the girls.
But he still remembered the first few women. Except for Xavier’s first woman, which was his maid, the girl he really fell in love with for the first time. If he remembered correctly, it was… it was Meg!
By the way, that Meg was also an aristocratic widow with a terrible personality!
Well, after Xavier completely captured Meg’s heart, not only did he set up a trap to block the biggest obstacle on their “love” path— that is, Meg’s widow mother was paralyzed in bed and she could no longer use any means, but also the knighthood was placed on Meg’s head in advance, before her mother was dead.
Ye Lin’s heart jumped, and the look in Amity’s eyes suddenly became even stranger, and even the little girl who was only two or three years old seemed not so cute anymore.
“How old is Meg this year?”
“Two years and three months.” Meg smiled and curled her eyes.
Milky voice replied milkily, speaking quite clearly.
Ye Lin’s heart sank quickly, because he thought that as Meg was here, then that means Xavier had been born just this year, in this long winter.
Meg was two years older than Xavier, and he remembered it clearly.
For the first time, he felt so close to an unpredictable fate.
