Chapter 544: Sudden Change of Events

That day, at the dinner party at the Temple Manor, the dukes of the southern region gathered, and the two archbishops of the Holy Light Church and the Temple Church also attended. It can be said that the highest power in the southern region came the most.

As for what was talked about that day, only those present knew.

However, after that day, the Maro City Council announced the marriage of Duke Lyon on behalf of the Stein family.

The wedding will be held on the 7th of next month, and the object is Miss Caroline, the youngest daughter of Duke Owen.

She is the third in line to the Owen family, a high rank.

At the time when the North suddenly attacked, the marriage of Duke Lyon and Miss Caroline is self-evident.

If the meaning of this matter is still a little obscure, then the change of the South Alliance’s commander, and the first thing the new commander did when he took office was to move the South Alliance headquarters to the Solan Mountain Pass, is a naked statement of the attitude of the southern region.

This is to tell the North that if you are willing to continue to protect mankind, then continue to protect, and other regions will continue to support you in the rear as before.

If they don't want to, it's hard to say to other places, but the southern region will do it on its own.

In short, if you want to play the threat game, the southern region will definitely not play with you.

Either everyone sits down and talks together, or everyone is finished together. The southern region has enough chips to talk to you.

Of course, this is what it means, but it can't be said that way. The southern region is still playing rogue like other places.

This is an old tradition in various regions. As long as the North asks for money, everyone will push the responsibility to the Osho Empire, saying that if the Osho Empire pays, they will also pay.

But since its establishment, the Osho Empire has never provided the North with a penny or a bit of supplies.

They dare to do so because they are located at the southernmost tip of the continent, which is beyond the reach of the North. And their place is a "military strategist's uncontested land." To be honest, based on the terrain conditions there, the orcs are unwilling to go there even if they come.

Since no one wants to echo the North's statement, the situation has become more and more delicate, and no one knows how it will develop in the end.

Of course, it makes sense that everyone doesn't agree. Although the North has been fighting the orcs on the front line, it is indeed very difficult, but the people in the rear are not doing nothing.

The North provides people and supplies, but the North treats the lives of people in other regions as consumables, which is unbearable for anyone.

And if there is no production activity in the rear, how can it continuously provide funds and supplies to the front line?

In other words, everyone is in a symbiotic relationship, and no one can do without each other, but the North comes up and gives orders, making everyone like their subordinates, who can stand this?

To be honest, Ethan doesn't know what Nolan thinks, anyway, it's up to them.

After attending the dinner that day, he took the family's passenger ship back to Maro City early the next morning.

As soon as he entered the gate of the manor, he saw Nicole holding a small pillow and pulling a four-wheeled rocking horse in her hand, walking towards the gate of the manor alone.

As she walked, she looked back at the manor from time to time, as if she hoped someone would come to find her. That look was so aggrieved.

When Ethan saw this scene, his face suddenly turned cold, because Nicole didn't have a servant around her.

What does this mean? She was not at home for a few days and rebelled?

Ethan quickly got off the carriage and ran towards Nicole.

I thought Nicole would be very happy to see me, but who would have thought that Nicole would be angry when she saw me. She was originally pacing slowly and looking back every three steps.

After seeing me, she didn't even want the rocking horse, and ran out of the manor with her little feet.

Ethan hurriedly chased after her and picked her up. Nicole suddenly burst into tears and slapped Ethan's face.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me, Nicole, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell Daddy!"

Nicole didn't say anything, she just kept crying and slapping her hands, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Ethan was so distressed to see Nicole so wronged, and he kept coaxing her.

At this time, Angelina came out with some servants.

"She got angry when she heard that you took Bruce to play outside but didn't take her. She has been making a fuss these days. She even threatened to run away from home just now. Look, she even took her pillow and her rocking horse with her."

After hearing this, Ethan probably understood what was going on and was in tears.

"Then you really let her go!"

"What else? Nicole was spoiled by you. Do you know how bad she was? Your study was almost smashed by her, and several maids' faces were scratched by her. I tried to stop her, but she still dared to hit me.

This time she wants to leave, let her go. If you don't teach her a lesson, she will be in trouble in the future."

When Ethan heard this, he pretended to be angry and stared at Nicole: "Did you hit someone? Did Daddy teach you that you can hit someone?"

Nicole was scolded by Angelina and blamed by Ethan. She also realized that everyone hated her, so she didn't dare to make a fuss. She pouted her lips and lay on Ethan's shoulder pitifully. She turned her head away and didn't dare to look at anyone.

Seeing Nicole admit her mistake, Ethan patted her on the back, and without saying anything, he carried her home.

Angelina followed and blamed her, "You shouldn't have cared about her. If you let her go for a while, she will come back and admit her mistake."

"Look at what you said!" Ethan smiled bitterly, "What do you mean she will come back and admit her mistake? Nicole is less than four years old and stutters when she speaks. How can she understand what is right? What is wrong?

Sometimes I really don't like the way you teach. For example, if Bruce falls, you don't help him, you just stand aside and let him stand up on his own.

I know you want him to be independent, and it seems like there is no problem, but in fact there is a big problem.

Think about it, if one day you fall, he will imitate you and stand motionless, and then say to you: Mom, you have to be brave and stand up by yourself? How do you feel?

Educating children is different at every stage. At this stage, all they need is your care and your unlimited love, nothing more. And our love, in turn, will make them feel safe and confident.

Although Nicole did do something wrong these days, scratching people and hitting you, you can't just see the bad side!

You see, the reason why Nicole dares to do this proves that she is clearly self-centered. This is a sign of absolute self-confidence, and it also shows that she subconsciously trusts us.

Because she knows we can help her get everything done, and that's actually what I want to convey to her. "

After hearing this, Angelina looked at Ethan suspiciously and said nothing.

Ethan suddenly lost his temper: "If you don't believe it, go see those civilian children another day. I tell you, those children shrink when they see people.

Any idea why this is happening? Because that's what their parents are like. Their parents did not give their children enough confidence. "

Angelina couldn't tell that Ethan was partial to Nicole, but she actually said a bunch of nonsense, which made Ethan laugh for a moment.

"You sound like you know how to educate children. If you are so capable, you will be the one to take care of them from now on."

"What are you talking about? Didn't I bring it with me?" As he spoke, Ethan stretched out his neck to look at Angeli: "Look, my beard was almost wiped out by Nicole.

Also, look at my hair, is there a piece of space here? Yes, Bruce did a good job.

And..." As he spoke, Ethan stretched out his foot, revealing a scar: "Did you see it? I fought with the Great Sword Master and the God of Law outside without getting hurt, and Peter rewarded his old father with a golf club. A scar. I don’t bring less than you do, okay? "

"Yes, yes, you are a good father, okay!" After saying that, Angelina couldn't help laughing.

Of course, Ethan knew that he was not very qualified, but as long as Angelina was happy, he also laughed along with her.

And Nicole could see her parents laughing, as if she had forgotten everything, and giggled along with her.

Just when the family was enjoying themselves, a strong wind passed by, and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

Ethan raised his head and glanced at the sky, frowning immediately, then handed Nicole to Angelina and said, "You guys go inside first."

As soon as Angelina saw Ethan's expression, she knew something was wrong, so she held Bruce in one hand and Nicole in the other and hurried into the house.

Lanchester untied the spear on his back, took off the leather holster, and came to Ethan: "Master, what a strong aura! Who is he?"

Ethan kept staring at the sky, and saw the dark clouds constantly hanging down, forming milky shapes that stretched for dozens of miles, with no end in sight.

"You don't have to stay here, go and inform the others to enter the underground shelter." Ethan ordered in a low voice.

"yes!"

After Lanchester left, Ethan slowly untied the sword from his waist. While feeling the blessing of the wind elf, he snorted to the sky: "You're already here, why are you keeping your head and tail?"
