Chapter 315

The Duke and Duchess deliberately stayed in the study at this time to wait for him and Sylphy, definitely not to hear his answer.

Sure enough: just when Sylphy could no longer bear this silent and depressing atmosphere, and probably felt that he would be in danger next, and was about to stand up to speak for him and help the situation...

The Duke and Duchess seemed to have seen this point!

Before Sylphy, the Duke spoke coldly: "Jupiter, can you tell us the reason?"

"..."

This really made Jupiter breathe a sigh of relief in his heart: Fortunately, the current Duke and Duchess of Blacks are different from those in the original game!

If it were the original Duke and Duchess's domineering and impatient personality, I'm afraid they would have scolded him and then forced him to choose a fiancé.

How could they give him a chance to explain?

Jupiter dare not be careless!

His eyes pretended to be cramped, but in fact, he looked at Sylphy for a moment when he scanned the surroundings.

It was also to confirm Sylphy's mood!

After receiving Sylphy's signal, he held his breath and responded seriously to the Duke and Duchess in front of him!

"Because I am not prepared to be such an "ordinary" means for the Blacks family to make peace with the eldest prince.

"I want to do something "big", and now I have an engagement... Sorry, Duke, it's too early.

At the same time, Jupiter added in his heart: No problem - getting the only daughter Sylphy as a vassal of the Duke's family is indeed a big deal.

And this is also the answer he and Sylphy prepared to reject his engagement in front of the Duke and Duchess!

After having Sylphy blossom that night, he would not be so proud that he would use this as an excuse to directly say to the Duke and Duchess of Blacks, "My engagement is Sylphy."

Looks pretty handsome.

But it's really just an appearance.

Rejecting the engagement that was originally perfect for the future of the Blacks family, and even robbing the daughter of the Blacks family!

Isn't this adding fuel to the fire?

Jupiter and Sylphy only need to know the decision of the two.

Changing relationships should be the goal, not the result of this moment.

So: When meeting the Duke and Duchess of Blacks again tonight, Jupiter plans to "take it step by step" - try to delay and reject his own engagement for now.

As for when the relationship with Sylphy can be "officially announced", it requires an opportunity in the future, an accident.

Can't be rushed.

As for how to deal with his own engagement, at this moment Jupiter has the confidence and confidence to give the Duke and Duchess a satisfactory answer.

"Big thing?"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke."

His answer really made the Duke show an unexpected expression!

Although I always feel that the "unexpected" place of the Duke and Duchess in front of him may be a little different from what he predicted. But how can he guess slowly at this time?

Shaking his head, shaking off the random thoughts in his mind, he continued to explain.

"My engagement was discussed by you and His Royal Highness the Great Prince, isn't that right?"

After getting the Duke's affirmative nod, Jupiter said.

"Then, my Lord Duke, if, just if! If I choose the little Princess Alicia as my fiancé, can you imagine how I will get along with Alicia after that?"

This imaginary scene was obviously not what the Duke and his wife expected.

So Jupiter imagined it for them and said it.

"Even if Alicia is a concubine, she is still the princess. And my current status as her fiancé is absolutely insignificant in comparison - I even have the identity of "Alisa's vassal knight."

"So: the scene at that time is nothing more than "Princess Alicia, as the master, accepts me as a servant", and I am at most a son-in-law!"

Jupiter himself thought about such a scene...

Let him be a son-in-law, facing a princess who shows a deep hatred towards him all day long...

It's hard to reflect it!

"In this way, although our Blacks family can matchmake with His Royal Highness the Great Prince. But if Princess Alicia and I really encounter something that requires mutual help in the future...”

“She can boss me around, and I can only ask for her consent.”

For the Duke and Duchess who are not so clear about the relationship between Alicia and him, his explanations must be what the Duke and Duchess take for granted!

So, this is what he is aiming for!

“My Lord Duke, Madam, I don’t care. But for our Blacks family, is this kind of marriage... a little unequal?”

In the original game, the Duke and Duchess of Blacks are very arrogant: relying on their power, they even looked down on many members of the imperial royal family!

It is precisely because of this arrogance that they encountered the "family confiscation crisis" in the story line of the eldest prince, and were severely defeated by the eldest prince and the little princess!

If it were now: Although Jupiter would definitely not let the confiscation of the family happen, and would not let Sylphy and the Duke and Duchess in front of him do whatever they want, but...

He can take advantage of the arrogance in the Duke and Duchess’ bones.

This is how he delays the engagement!

"That's what I mean by "doing something big". Please give me some more time. I think: at least I must have some position and power that can be on an equal footing with the candidates or even take the initiative after the engagement. Only then can you seriously start choosing a candidate for your marriage contract. "

He doesn’t know the Duke and Duchess of Blacks yet?

Such a decision "did not harm the Duke's face by refusing forcefully, and also took into account the status of the Blacks family"...

No wonder the Duke and Duchess were unhappy!

As for when does it count as “doing something big”?

Hum hum - this time limit is delayed, but there is no definite time -

After such a "wonderful plan", Jupiter felt: He is simply a little genius!

Not to mention: when he looked at the Duke and Duchess in front of him again, intending to wait for the Duke and Duchess's decision on his engagement, he noticed the surprise in their eyes.

It was as if he never expected that he would use such words to refuse the engagement!

Even... there is a deeper level of doubt.

Jupiter once thought: What surprised the Duke and Duchess was why he still wanted to refuse the engagement instead of directly hugging Sylphy and giving her a kiss to prove everything.

Jupiter shook his head: How could he think so?

It must be him

Too excited.

Duke Blacks quickly calmed down.

Asked: "Then how do you plan to explain to His Highness the Great Prince?"

Such questions are naturally acquiescence: as long as he can handle the eldest prince's side, the Duke and Duchess will have no objection to his ideas!

It...succeeded!

Now he finally broke off his engagement in front of the Duke and Duchess!

Good guy! According to the plot of the original game, it still has some effect!

Although he was excited, Jupiter still forced himself to calm down!

He even took a step away from Sylphy, lest Sylphy, who couldn't hide her worries at all, would happily rush towards him the next moment.

Then all the previous efforts have been wasted.

As for how to deal with "Big Prince" Fini?

"I will find a way, Your Majesty the Duke."

What Jupiter was thinking was: Should we wait until that day?

Anyway, he and his "eldest prince" are good brothers! As long as he acts with emotion and reason, Feini will definitely not embarrass him.

"Anyway, I hope you've decided this. I'm a little hot and want to go back to the room to take a shower and rest - I'll leave now, Your Majesty the Duke."

Jupiter said this and hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

After all: Don't look at the seriousness on his face now, but in his heart...

In fact, I was so excited that I wanted to hold Sylphy for a spin!

"Me...me too! Father and mother, you must never go back on your word!"

Soon, Sylphy also gave a busy warning, and then followed Jupiter's footsteps and left Duke Blacks' study.

Then, the first time the door closes!

He rushed in front of Jupiter and without thinking, he jumped into his arms like a big cat!

"Great!!!"

"Hush, shush!! Keep your voice down!"

Jupiter was shocked: We just left the study! It's very quiet in the Duke's Mansion this night. Don't let the Duke and Duchess in the study hear your shouts, Sylphy!

I'm not engaged. How are you?

What else could be the reason! ?

He could only add one sentence while hugging Sylphy, who was not heavy at all.

"Okay, okay, don't get too excited, it's only half way."

Passing the Duke and Duchess's test, it was just a "staged victory" that prevented the two from pressing him over the issue of his engagement.

The moment the long vacation at Lucalia Academy ended, his answer to "Grand Prince" Fini was the result.

Will the eldest prince agree to his cancellation of the engagement?

Even now that Jupiter thinks about it, he is a little confused: Why does Finny have to give him a marriage contract when she has nothing to do?

No reason?

But, right away.

Sylphy, who was being held by him, almost pinched his mouth with her "explicit" action. For a time, he had no time to think about "other women".

Staged success is also success.

At least tonight, he should be immersed in this joy.

Jupiter, who was thinking this, was about to respond.

Then……

But as if waiting for a long time, a figure appeared in the corner.

"Miss Sylphy, the bath water is ready."

"Ah! Female, head maid!?"

Sylphy hurriedly broke away from Jupiter, and even Jupiter quickly turned away with her hands behind her back to avoid looking too suspicious!

Just now, the head maid probably didn't see them preparing to kiss just now, right? ?

even……

That's not all.

the other side.

The Duke and Duchess of Blacks remained in the study. But after the door was closed, they all showed distressed expressions.

But it's not because "Jupiter turned down the engagement in a roundabout way" that he's troubled.

Duke Blacks scratched his head and muttered: "I thought they already had it, but I didn't expect that they were really not in a hurry."

The Duchess was even more confused.
