“Jesus Christ! Are you speaking an alien language?？”
“If this is the correct answer, it would be too inhumane, right? Who asked this question? How could this be? Isn't it anti-humanity?？”
“Wait, say it again, what? What 'MAMA'? What does this word have to do with 'mother'？”
“Are you sure this word exists and is not nonsense?？”
“What books are you reading? Matthew, have you read the book Renly is reading? Is he talking nonsense?？”
Chattering and bustling, the whole room was chatting, discussing and communicating, filled with unprecedented energy, an energy that was strictly prohibited for hereditary nobles.——
Imagine that it is always like this in those aristocratic manors. There is no sound in the huge room. All actions and conversations are ensured to be completed at a normal or even minimum volume. Walking, eating, sleeping, being sick, talking, angry, etc., all are done. In this case, it is best to be completely silent; then the vast and empty world will not be popular at all, and it seems that even the blood has lost its temperature, and it will return to silence..
But at this moment, the study in front of me is so noisy that it makes people have a headache..
But... Arthur was vaguely enjoying it. He didn't realize until now that Renly's words opened another window completely..
In the past, Renly had been hiding and escaping, far away from the shackles of the entire Hall family, which gave Arthur the illusion that he was "imprisoned". It seemed that there was no other solution to the matter except escaping. Only by breaking through the shackles can we truly live our lives..
Now, they see another possibility of things.
George and Elizabeth have become "the past". They can get rid of the shadow of the previous generation, re-establish a home of their own, reinterpret the meaning of "hereditary nobility", and re-show the elegance of the upper class. Most importantly, Reopening the lives of the younger generation.
If George and Elizabeth want to stay, there is no problem, the Hall family will always have their place, whether they like it or not, but family exists like this; but if they choose to leave, then there is no problem, just like when Renly left. Just like New York, start a new life of your own in your own place - maintaining the blood of each other but maintaining independence from each other..
Arthur finally understood the purpose of Renly's return to London this time - not to retaliate against George and Elizabeth, but to truly establish a home belonging to "Hall", draw boundaries, establish a framework, set the tone, and truly let George and Elizabeth can never hurt them again.
Just like the house in front of them, just like they are at this moment, they are embarking on a new journey for the Hall family.
As Renly said, if Arthur becomes the new "Baron Hall", then he has the right to decide whether the Hall family is like George or Renly..
“But..." Arthur looked at Renly, looking at that bright smile, he hesitated in his words..
Renly turned his head and cast a confused look: he couldn't read Arthur's eyes..
Arthur hesitated for a moment, "What about you?" The subtext is, shouldn't Renly inherit and create the new Hall family?？
This made Renly laugh happily, "Arthur, this is not the first day you have met me. You should know that I am not the right choice. It was not before, it is not now, and it will not be in the future.".”
Renly really has no idea at all about becoming "Baron Hall", and he also tells the truth that he is really not suitable..
“I am a selfish person, I just want to hold on to my dreams and happiness, that's all. I have no interest in shouldering the weight of the entire family. So, those burdens can only be left to you - again Or maybe it's Elf. Edith and I are on the same side. We are both happy people..”
Renly said in a brisk tone..
Then Edith caught a tail. She had no idea what Renly and Arthur were discussing, but she was very dissatisfied with Renly's way of expressing it. She complained regardless, "Hey, I'm not! I don't care about you." No matter what you say, I am definitely not the kind of person you say!！”
Renly did not defend himself, but raised his hands to express surrender, then turned to look at Arthur, "Then, I will cancel Edith's part. Maybe you can discuss it with her..”
Arthur couldn't hold it back and just laughed, happily. From the bottom of his eyes to his heart, he was full of smiles, and the whole world came alive..
Edith noticed something was wrong and had no time to put on her shoes, so she stood on tiptoes barefoot, trotted over diagonally across the street, jumped onto the sofa between Arthur and Eaton like a Persian cat, and then dropped her eyes. Sliding around, "What on earth are you two talking about?"？”
“I'm saying that Arthur's charm is so irresistible that maybe he should try to get into Hollywood and, you know, become another Brad Pitt. Compared to Chris Hemsworth, Arthur is simply not. Not on the same level, they are all better than the rest of us. What do you think?？”
Renly was making nonsense like this seriously, because it was so sincere and so real that Edith couldn't tell the truth from the truth. Then he looked at Arthur who was smiling brighter and narrowed his eyes slightly, "No, I always feel that No, what kind of tricks are you two big boys playing?？”
As she spoke, Edith folded her arms and pressed Arthur's thigh with the elbow bone. She exerted force suddenly. The severe pain made Arthur almost jump up, "Eddie Silk! Don't make me curse! Edith! You should ask Renly... ah!！”
“don't want! Arthur, we can't just call on God, remember? Politeness, where are your politeness? "Edith laughed triumphantly, and completely suppressed Arthur with her elbow, making Arthur unable to move. Then Arthur struggled fiercely, and the two of them seemed to be wrestling..
Renly, who was sitting alone next to him, was completely overjoyed, laughing like a child who had never grown up..
By the way, it is well known that nobles cannot use swear words easily; in addition, they cannot call "God" or "Jesus Christ" at will, which is very common in spoken English. They are not allowed to use interjections, because this is a lack of faith - most nobles are Catholics, and using those words casually to express exclamations is undoubtedly a sign of insufficient piety..
But at this time, Arthur couldn't care about it at all, "Jesus Christ! Edith Angela Hall! Renly suggested that you inherit the baron, Renly suggested that you inherit the baron!" In the end, all the words were spoken directly. After pouring it out, Edith calmed down and looked at Renly with a surprised look on her face..
Renly met Edith's gaze with an innocent face, as if he was asking: Where did this come from?？
“Arthur! "Edith immediately reacted: Arthur lied. But when she was about to put pressure on Arthur again, she already missed the opportunity..
After Arthur successfully got rid of it, "Lady! This lady! Renly is the most cunning one. Have you forgotten? The two of us are on the same side!" Edith calmed down a little, "Recall, we The two of us fight side by side. You shouldn't aim your gun at me..”
“So..." A long voice appeared next to him, "You should join forces to deal with Renly.？”
Arthur and Edith turned their heads, and then saw Matthew's calm expression, making sarcastic remarks; turning their heads again, they could see Renly's shallow smile, greeting him generously and calmly. Looking at them, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle..
“You should know that I welcome you to challenge at any time." Renly said slowly, "Now you are bullying the few with more, and if you add Andre who is ready to make a move over there, I will definitely not be your opponent, but... you It's best to pray that the few of you can always be together, never...I mean, never be alone..”
devil！
“Hey! Renly! I'm doing well, I haven't done anything, don't drag me into trouble, okay? "Andre was the first to distance himself. He just got off the sofa and sat down again..
Arthur and Edith exchanged glances, and finally Arthur shouted, "No matter what! Apart from today, when can I make Renly feel defeated? Edith! Enter!"！”
Then Arthur and Edith both rushed towards Renly, but saw Renly stand up quickly and jump directly from behind the sofa, and the three of them chased each other in the study..
Because the noise was so noisy, Phillip couldn't help but come to the door of the study. As soon as he opened the door, Renly slipped past, followed by Arthur, Edith and Andre, who also chased him out. Eton also joined in the fun, just like a child who has not grown up..
Phillip stood there helplessly, and then saw Matthew who was left alone, "Master Matthew, aren't you going to join them?"？”
“I'm not that stupid," Matthew said calmly..
Philip thought about it seriously, then silently mourned for Arthur and others for a moment, then turned and walked to the restaurant to prepare for dinner..
The whole room was filled with cheerful laughter, breaking the haze and coldness of London, and the creamy yellow halo became warmer..
……
Regarding the communication between Arthur and George, Renly did not continue to ask, but he only knew the result.：
George did not pass on the title of baronet to Arthur; while Arthur returned to his daily work, Sisyphus Films was still in its infancy stage with countless jobs, and Arthur and Andre remained busy..
For a long time after that, even though Renly was in London, he heard nothing about George or Elizabeth. He occasionally learned from Edith that Elizabeth's gallery was restarting and she had declared "independence." "; As for George, there is no news, and we don't know how his work is progressing, but what is certain is that he has not "disappeared" and is still active in London's social circle..
However, the involvement between Renly and them has become a thing of the past, and no one seems willing to mention it anymore..
