take the lamb to school

In addition to giving Ealing a "master key", Mr. Hudson also notified the library to open his borrowing authority, which means that Ealing can not only read it in the library, but also borrow it back to the dormitory.

He told His Royal Highness the good news with a note.

"Dear Your Majesty:

I can not believe it!Our Lord Master, Mr. Hudson, has given me the key to the library!I don't need to bother you to borrow books for me anymore!Also, I found out who my father was.It's just... I don't want to admit that he is my father, he already has a son and doesn't need me anymore.

Ealing

His Royal Highness quickly replied to Yi Ling.

"Let me take the liberty to guess, is your father the deputy of the Council?"

Yi Ling was extremely surprised, how did His Royal Highness know?

He immediately wrote a note asking.After a while, I received a reply.

"Have you read a book called "The Biography of Duke Truman"? The truth is hidden in the fine print on the title page."

"Duke Truman"? !

Of course Yi Ling had read it, but Bowen lent him the book, and he returned it after reading it.The fine print on the title page?Is he missing something?

Yi Ling scratched her heart and lungs, and turned to look at Bowen: "Hey, Bowen, is your "Biography of Duke Truman" still in school?"

Bowen glanced at him unexpectedly, and shook his head: "I brought it home, why did you suddenly ask this? Didn't you finish it?"

"I have to confirm some things again." Yi Ling stared at Bowen expectantly, "Bowen, do you still remember what was written on the title page of that book?"

"Title page?" Bowen touched his chin. "Who would read the title page when reading a book? It's usually used to introduce the author. If it's a biography, it will also introduce the biographer."

"If you really want to read it, there is one in the public bookcase in the auditorium, which was brought by Lambert. Go and look through it quietly during class tomorrow when you go to school."

The next day.

The first class is music class.

After class, Yi Ling winked at Bowen and sneaked away to the public bookcase.

There are two rows of public bookcases, and Yi Ling found the "Biography of Duke Truman" standing on the bookcase without any difficulty.

He pulled it out, opened the title page, and saw this sentence in the bottom few lines of small characters.

"...The Duke used to be named: Turio..."

It turned out to be the case.

So His Royal Highness knew who his father was so early on, but pretended to help him find the list without telling him!

Eileen was a little annoyed.

At this time, he heard a "cough cough", which was the secret signal he had agreed with Bowen.

someone is coming.

Yi Ling quickly closed the book and put it back, but it was too late.

It was Lambert.

With a smug smile on his face, he said to Yi Ling: "I saw it! Don't try to deny it!"

Yi Ling pretended to be calm: "What did you see?"

"I saw you took my father's biography from the bookcase and turned two pages..." Lambert said with a smile.

"No, you read it wrong, I only turned one page."

Lambert shouted: "Anyway, whether it's a page or two, you just read it! Am I right?"

"...Well, yes. But this is a public bookcase, and I have the right to read books. It's nothing to brag about." Yi Ling said.

"But you are the first person to read this book." Lambert's voice dropped, subconsciously ignoring the attendants who cheered him up and flipped through the book.

It's not because you are too arrogant!The students would rather read in private than come to the public bookcase to read the books you brought!

Yi Ling said silently in her heart.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​reading this book?" Lambert asked.

Yiling asked him back, "Lambert, do you know that your father, Duke Truman, was named 'Tulio'?"

"Huh?" Lambert stared, "Does he have that name?"

Seeing Yi Ling looking at him blankly, Lambert snorted, "Even if I don't know, it's nothing unusual. For nobles, the surname is the most important thing. As for the name, let alone change it." One, even ten would not be surprising.”

"Then..." Yi Ling hesitated for a while and asked, "In your eyes, what kind of person is Duke Truman?"

He looked at Lambert, suddenly very curious, what kind of family environment could have created such a boy with all his teeth and claws, full of willfulness.

"He's a busy man. When I was young, I used to have only servants to play with me, and everyone coaxed me and responded to my needs. But all I wanted was him to be with me."

Lambert frowned fiercely, and said with a puckered mouth.

Ealing noticed that another character was completely absent from Lambert's words, so she asked, "What about your mother? Can't she accompany you too?"

Lambert's face suddenly became very ugly. He raised his eyebrows and asked Yi Ling, "Why should I tell you? What does this have to do with you?"

Although Yiling and Lambert have always been at odds, they don't want to poke people's scars, "Uh, sorry! This is your privacy, I shouldn't ask—"

"My mother died when I couldn't speak or walk. I only saw her in the paintings hanging on the wall," Lambert leaned against the bookcase dejectedly, his original expression disappeared. Without a trace, "It's okay to tell you these things, all my friends know."

Yi Ling was taken aback by Lambert's sudden weakness, but his kind nature prevented him from ignoring the sadness of others. He took two steps closer, leaned over to look at Lambert's face, and comforted him somewhat bluntly: "It doesn't matter, you still have Duke Truman. I can see that he loves you very much."

"What about you?" Lambert said, "Have you found your biological parents? Last time I heard the conversation between you and my father, he said he knew your parents and asked you to go if you had any difficulties." Look for him. I thought you might ask for a lot of money, but you are very sensible and never looked for him once."

Hearing this "interesting" compliment, Yi Ling smiled helplessly: "I found it."

"Really?! So fast!" Lambert wondered, "How did you find it? By name? I remember my father said—your parents' names are... what are..."

Afraid that he would guess the truth when he thought about it, Yi Ling bit the bullet and interrupted his recollection: "I found them by mistake. My mother was sick...my father has passed away."

The state of Luna is indeed not much different from a human being's illness, but Duke Truman and Ealing can only pretend that he has never appeared.

Lambert showed sympathy. He thought of his bad behavior against Yi Ling in the past, and felt guilty all of a sudden. He said: "In the future... if you have any difficulties, I allow you to come to me for help. If I can't solve it , I will ask my father to help you."

The next class was about to start, Lambert tiptoed to take off the biography and stuffed it into Ealing's arms, "Hey, this book is for you."

As he said that, he turned his head and ran away, as if he was afraid of being seen by someone.

"Hey!" Yi Ling murmured, watching Lambert's back disappearing quickly, "But I don't want it."

I don't want either this book or your help.

He walked out from the other side of the bookcase, and saw Bowen squatting on the ground petrified at the corner. Yi Ling was taken aback, then laughed, and said, "Why are you hiding here? I thought you had finished reporting to me." I left right after the letter."

"The God of Light bears witness! I originally wanted to wait until Lambert left before coming out, but you have been chatting all the time—" Bowen stood up while leaning on the wall, stomped his numb feet, and said jokingly, "I Should you be glad you didn't leave? Yi Ling, you always have so many secrets, and now I accidentally heard some, what should you do?"

"Ah..." Yi Ling stood on the spot and thought carefully for a while, then asked Bowen seriously, "Then, please keep it a secret for me, okay?"
