I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 374 The secret of the year

"Julian? What's the matter? Are you in trouble?" Cosmo asked as soon as he connected to the communication.

"Ah? No..." Julian rubbed his nose in embarrassment. He has a high degree of recognition for Cosmo, the elder brother. It feels a bit strange that the cheap elder brother he thought was suddenly his real elder brother.

"Then what's the matter?" Cosmo loosened his neckline, leaned lazily on the sofa, and slowly sipped a glass of dark purple liquid.

"Uh..." Julian organized his words and asked softly, "Brother...you...why do you treat me as a younger brother?"

Cosmo: "..."

He raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "What do you mean by treating you as a younger brother? You are my younger brother in the first place."

Julian:? ? ?

No... What do you mean he was your younger brother?At the beginning, I was a young man who was temporarily arrested by Sidney and the others. Others didn't know it, but didn't you, the leader of the dark forces, know it?

Seeing Julian's unbelievable expression, Cosmo paused, and asked in doubt, "You don't think you're just a random substitute, do you?"

Julian: ...! ! !

So it's true that you all know it, but I don't know it?

Julian's speechless expression successfully made Cosmo laugh: "I said... my dear brother, you spend all day with His Excellency Owen, why don't you learn more from others? You see, I seem so generous Is it someone from your family? Who knows your brother all over the street?"

Julian has no fuck to say.

What can he say, he really doesn't know anything!fall!

Cosmo covered his lips and smiled for a while, finally showing kindness, and decided to explain what happened back then to his silly brother who didn't think much about it.

There is also a part of coincidence in this incident. Back then, the old duke used his blood relatives to refine the life-extending medicine in a very secretive way. His eldest son died on the battlefield, and no one suspected that the old duke was involved.

Relying on the eldest son for many years, the old Duke originally wanted to keep the younger son and let him pass on to future generations, but he didn't know if the accepted medicine was resistant or what, the effect of the life-extending medicine made with his illegitimate son was getting less and less effective. good.

In the end, the old duke still couldn't resist the temptation of longevity, and extended his black hand to his youngest son.He felt that as long as he was still alive, he would have many sons, and it was right for the youngest son to repay him with his own life.

Compared with the loyal and honest eldest son, the youngest son is quite intelligent. He vaguely noticed something, but he couldn't believe that the father he had always admired would do such a thing.It's just that he didn't intend to put all his eggs in one basket, so he told his wife, Julian's mother Martha, about these things in private.

Martha is a very wise and decisive woman. After learning about this, she hoped that her husband would leave with them.The youngest son is still hesitating, whether everything he found is true or false, if these things are deliberately misleading, then his departure will hurt his father's heart too much.

It is a pity that his feelings were not reciprocated in equal measure. The old duke, who had already gone crazy for his health and longevity, immediately arrested his son when he realized that his son had the intention of escaping.

Fortunately, Martha managed to escape with Julian, and the old duke, under the begging of his youngest son, was able to move the only sympathy he had.

After taking the life-prolonging medicine made by his youngest son, he can still live for several years. In this Maggie Kingdom, with his power, he might not be able to find the mother and daughter.

In this way, with the help of His Majesty Sirius II (Martha's admirer), Martha and Julian escaped from the royal capital Crook smoothly.

On the way to escape, the people sent by His Majesty lured all the old duke's men to other places, and successfully hid their mother and son. On the way to escape, they also met a pair of begging mother and son by coincidence.

Martha had noticed at the time that the child looked a bit like Julian, and almost immediately she was tempted to use him as a stand-in.

The old duke is definitely a high-ranking representative in the Maggie Kingdom. What's more, because of his record comparable to that of the God of War, it is unknown how many people in the country worship him.It is not a problem to rely on His Majesty's manpower to keep himself in a short period of time, but what about the future?

At that time, Martha didn't even know why the old duke wanted to attack his own blood relatives.She only knew that if she was not careful, Julian would be found by the old duke's people at any time.

So, she made an agreement with that mother, she provided the mother and son with a good life, the only requirement was to let her son replace Julian's identity.

She didn't hide the danger the child might encounter, but she also said that as long as the child survived, she would raise the child as her own.

The mother and son were already on the verge of despair, and they had no objection to Martha's proposal.Without Martha, not to mention the dangers they might encounter in the future, I am afraid that they would not survive for three days. Compared with this, such conditions are already very good.

So, after the child was cleaned, it was delivered to Martha the next day, and Martha's most caring maid took Julian away. Apart from Martha herself, even His Majesty's staff didn't know where she was going. where.

Martha didn't let the woman leave. She already felt very guilty about using her son as Julian's substitute, so she couldn't bear to separate them.

Her only request to this woman is that she is absolutely not allowed to reveal her identity to the child, otherwise don't blame her for being cruel.

She is kind by nature, but in order to protect her son, she can also be very vicious. The choice depends on this woman.

The woman did keep her promise and never revealed to the child that she was his mother, she just accompanied her son as a maid.

Martha acquiesced to this, but she didn't expect that this woman probably felt that she could live a relaxed life only by selling her son, so in daily life, she was very kind to her son and pampered her without a bottom line.

Martha said her a few times, and when she said her, she looked at Martha with tears, as if she was accusing her of having so much money, why should she be so strict with her children.

After a few times of tossing, Martha gave up and handed over all the discipline of the child to that woman. As long as the request is not too excessive, she is willing to meet it.

The result is obvious, under this kind of bottomless pampering, the pseudo-Julian has successfully been raised into a playful temperament.

After the maid died of illness in the later stage, it was too late for Martha to teach her. False Julian only had superficial respect for his mother, but privately felt that she took too much control.

A few years later, Martha also died of illness, and the pseudo-Julian has no restrictions, and has completely become the tyrant of the small town.

Later, just as the king wanted to take back the rights in the hands of the old duke, he happened to think of this substitute.

His Majesty Sirius II has feelings for Martha and is willing to protect Julian, but he is not so kind to this fake.

So, after the stupid fake Julian learned of his life experience, he didn't even think about why his mother hid in a small town since his grandfather was so powerful. .

Unexpectedly, on the way back, this guy wanted to visit the pirate port out of curiosity, but he died there so quietly.

Julian, who happened to be there, fell into Sidney's sight and became a substitute for the false Julian.

"Is this... so complicated?" Julian's mouth twitched, listening to Cosmo's narration, he always felt that his life experience was so complicated.

He rummaged through his memories, and felt a sudden realization.

No wonder he felt weird seeing Yuanshen getting along with his mother, it turned out that it was because that loyal maid never regarded herself as Julian's mother.

Moreover, their family's income is not high, but they have never been hungry. When encountering difficulties, there will be noble people to help. Even Julian's becoming a knight squire was a long time ago.

Regrettably, no matter how smart Martha was, she couldn't have expected that the knight lord would let Julian be cannon fodder, and the result was that the unlucky young man died unexpectedly, and it was cheaper for Xia Tian, ​​the traverser.

After sighing for a long time, Julian was inexplicably guilty.For Martha, he admired her. She was a great mother who was devoted to her child. She worked so hard, hoping that her child would survive, and she was even willing to endure long-term separation from her child.

However, fate did not favor this woman, and her child died. Julian even felt that his behavior of occupying the dove's nest was really too much.

[You think too much, how do you know that you didn't seal your memory after traveling through this world, and reawakened because of danger? ] The system that has not made a sound for a long time said suddenly.

Julian's heart moved. According to the system, then Julian in the past was also him, so he didn't seem to have to worry about these things.

After saying that sentence, the system didn't make another sound, it seemed that the purpose of speaking was to comfort Julian.

Julian felt warm in his heart, even if he knew the system was lying to him, he was willing to believe it.

"So... I'm really Julian?" Julian said with a complicated expression, "Are you also my brother?"

"It's true that you are the real Julian, but..." Cosmo glanced at him: "What's the matter with this real brother? Do you always think that I am your fake brother?"

Julian's face turned red in embarrassment. Cosmo was really kind to him. At first, he only regarded him as a cheap brother. He originally thought that after he got the title of baron, the deal between the two parties would be over. He has been taking care of himself, and it was only after that that he really treated this cheap brother as a real brother.

Successfully witnessed Julian's transformation from a handsome young man into a tomato head, Cosmo smiled with satisfaction: "But speaking of it, I really don't have any blood relationship with you, after all...my mother is pregnant with my baby boy." At that time, my nominal father was not at home at all.”

Julian: ...

Fuck!That's a lot of information!

No... Is it really okay for you to just say it like this?

Probably because Julian's expression was too obvious, Cosmo couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, His Majesty knows my identity. If not, do you think His Majesty will trust me to hand over the Duke's Mansion?"

Julian suddenly realized that if he could become a knife of His Majesty, he would naturally place the handle in His Majesty's hands.Speaking of which... the old duke seemed to have mentioned this when he was in the underground palace. At that time, he was busy trying to escape from the old duke, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Later... he forgot..._(: з"∠)_

Cosmo's identity meant that he was not qualified to inherit the Grand Duke's title. If he wanted to use this title to wrestle with His Majesty in the future, His Majesty would be able to send him into the abyss as long as he released his identity.

"Then you will..." Julian's worry was obvious.Throughout the years in China, there are countless emperors who have crossed rivers and demolished bridges. If His Majesty thinks that Cosmo is not easy to use in the future, wouldn't it be...

Cosmo's heart warmed, and he said softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty is not that kind of person."

Now Julian can only hope that His Majesty Sirius II is a kind person, otherwise... Maybe he can prepare a room for his elder brother in the Gray Tower?

Owen Diary:

Today is also a day to deal with my natal family... _(:з」∠)_

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Julian: ...what?How do I know the system is lying to me?Go back and look at Chapter 1. When I promised to fulfill the last wish of the original Julian, I clearly felt that something had left my body. It must be the soul of the original body!

System: Actually, I forged it to stabilize your emotions and set a goal for you.

Julian: Σ(°△°|||)︴!Is it such a coquettish operation?
