C616 Unacceptable Carter!
As Carter told the glorious story of his ancestors, he became even more excited, his face full of glory.
His eyes were filled with an incomparable sense of pride!
It was as if the main character in the story was him, Carter.
After the excitement passed, Carter's face returned to a calm state, and he said this with an unwilling tone.
"Father, this is a family heirloom that represents the glory of our Family, why must we give it away?"
"It's still too late to regret it now. We can get a fake transfer package and send it over later. This way, it won't affect our reputation."
"Anyway, they don't understand our family heirloom. It's simply the best of both worlds."
At this point, Carter burst out laughing, his face full of anger.
But at this moment, the older Western Men, also known as Carter's father, Carol, shook her head and said.
"Carter, I will tell you the truth today. A hundred years ago, because of the betrayal of a certain noble, Empress Vidolia was indeed in a life threatening situation."
"But …"
"Our ancestors didn't save the empress from the hands of the noble who betrayed her."
What?
Hearing this shocking news, Carter suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face had an expression of disbelief.
"This... How is that possible? "
"Isn't it because we, the Family, have saved the life of the empress, obtained the favor of the empress, and thus rose from a Count to a Marquis, and even obtained a small piece of land as a result?"
"If the person who saved the empress is not our ancestor, then how can we explain the title and fiefdom that we now possess?"
Carter had an expression of disbelief!
One had to know, he had heard of the glorious deeds of his ancestors since he was young.
Powerful and powerful!
He was extraordinarily handsome!
The number one handsome man in Shardbearer!
The force of force is extraordinary, in a time of crisis for the empress, timely rescue of the emperor.
Everyone loved each other, even the legendary Empress Vidolia liked him.
All of these added up to a whole new level of respect for Carter's ancestor. Ever since he was young, he had had a dream, and that was to become as outstanding a man as his ancestor.
Carter gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I don't believe, the one who saved the Queen back then was definitely the ancestor of our Family."
Looking at Carter's expression, Carol sighed helplessly.
"Carter, I understand you very well, because that year, when I heard my father speak of this truth, I was also unable to accept it."
"Therefore, I closed myself off at home for three days and three nights!"
"However, in the end, I still accepted reality because our ancestors did not save the empress's life. Furthermore, a hundred years ago, the noble who betrayed the empress was none other than him."
"It is our ancestor, Count Levin!"
After Carol finished talking, and especially with her last sentence, Carter's eyes went wide open. He fell off the bed and sat down on the floor.
"Father, you're not joking with me, right?"
Carter, who was sitting on the ground, completely ignored his sorry state, swallowed his saliva and hurriedly asked.
Carol snorted, then spoke up.
"Do you think I'd joke about such a thing?"
Carter gritted his teeth and continued.
"But this matter doesn't make sense at all. If our ancestors truly committed a great sin, then why would we still have the title of Marquis? And why would we have such an enviable feudal fiefdom?"
"Is there some kind of misunderstanding?"
Carter still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Without another word, Carol pointed to the picture hanging on the wall of the room, wrapped in many layers of flowery cloth.
"Do you know who it is?"
Hearing this, Carter hesitated for a moment before answering.
"I've heard that this was the scene of our ancestors pacifying the rebellion and saving the empress over a hundred years ago."
"It's said that it was drawn by a noble who was quite accomplished in painting at that time."
However, at that moment, Carol suddenly gritted her teeth and spoke.
"You're right, this painting was painted by a noble at that time, and it was indeed a scene to save the empress."
"It's just that the person in the painting isn't our ancestor, it's a nameless hero who defeated our ancestor and pacified the rebellion!"
At this moment, Carol bounced up, her face filled with disbelief.
"The man in the painting who has the temperament of a god is actually not our ancestor, is that impossible?"
"If that's really the case, how could I be so handsome?"
Carol shook her head and looked at the painting helplessly.
"Over a hundred years ago, this nameless hero suddenly appeared and cooked a dish of the highest quality. He cured the empress's anorexia and later, he even pacified the rebellion. Even the empress wanted to repay him with her life."
"But, that nameless hero rejected everything and left without hesitation!"
"After that, the Empress conferred the title of Marquis on him and even bestowed him with a fiefdom that could be passed on through generations."
"However, the Queen did not execute our ancestors. She had us, the people of the Family, manage the lands of that nameless hero for generations, and at the same time, wait for the arrival of that nameless hero or the descendants of that nameless hero."
Carol finally told him the whole truth.
In front of him, Carter seemed to be unable to accept reality, his body staggered and he once again fell to the ground.
His face was filled with disbelief!
"Father, this … this isn't true, I can't accept this. We are clearly nobles, how did we suddenly become the nobles' servants?"
Carter put his head in his hands, he felt like he was going crazy.2
"Carter, don't panic, this won't affect our position. Aside from the empress and some of the higher ups, no one else knows the truth."
"Most importantly, more than a hundred years have passed. That nameless hero and his descendants might not even know that the Empress has bestowed a title upon them."
"Therefore, we are still nobles, and our future generations will all be the same."
Hearing this, Carter was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out loud.
"Haha …"
"That's right. It's already been 9012 years, who would still bother with slaves? Now, we are the aristocrats, the aristocrats who own the lands!"
Hearing this, Carol's face swelled up and she nodded proudly.
"This time, the reason I gave that painting away was to sever all connections with that nameless hero."
"Originally, I wanted to destroy it, but in the end, it was a painting given by the empress. It would be difficult for us to do anything about it, but if we were to gift it to the school for others to praise, I don't think anyone else would be able to say anything against us."
"Our Family has always been a noble, and a top-notch noble at that!"
