The car drove back to the castle. As soon as Emily got out of the car, she saw Brant standing outside the gate. As soon as she saw Earl Andrews, she immediately saluted, then turned her gaze to Emily, as if asking her a question. Emily smiled back at Brant then followed Earl Andrew into the castle. She and Brant returned to their room, and as soon as they entered Brant's room, he clasped her hand, looking worried and asked: "Emily, how are you at the grand duke's house? Not being bullied or what?"
Emily smiled at Brant and said softly, "What can I do. You worry too much."
Brant laughed, then suddenly tapped Emily on the forehead, a serious look: "You suddenly stayed at the grand duke's house for three days, how could I not be worried!"
Emily rubbed her forehead, smiled and nodded, "I see, it's still Brant who treats me the best!"
The two of them quickly gathered everything. After dinner was over, Emily was suddenly called by Earl Andrew to the study. Brant worriedly followed Emily's back. Knowing that Earl Andrews wouldn't do anything to Emily didn't stop Brant from worrying about Emily. For aristocrats, there was always a partition in Brant's heart. It could be because of the brutality of most of the nobles, or it could be because the difference in life was too great. So Brant never felt comfortable letting Emily go with Count Andrew.
Emily knocked on the door of the study, and not long after that, Count Andrew's voice sounded inside: "Come in."
Emily opened the door and slowly entered the study. She looked at Count Andrew, who was approving the work on the table, and asked in a low voice, "For what has the earl called me?"
Andrew put down the job at hand. He got up and went to sit on the sofa. Andrew looked at Emily, pointed to the seat across from him, and said slowly, "Sit down."
Emily was taken aback. As a rule, she couldn't sit at the same table as Andrew. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Andrew interrupted: "Sit down. I'll let you sit down. What I'm about to say is a very important matter."
Emily didn't understand why, but looking at Andrew's expression was too serious. She pursed her lips, finally sitting down across from Andrew.
Andrew looked at Emily and said slowly, "Emily, listen carefully to what I'm about to say."
Emily also looked at Andrew, after hearing him say that, she nodded seriously.
Andrew said softly, "You could be the second lost daughter of the grand duke."
Emily looked at Andrew with wide eyes, evidently terrified by his words. After a long while she shook her head and said, "How can I, how can I be the daughter of the grand duke. There must be a misunderstanding in this matter."
Andrew looked at her, he did not refute Emily, only softly said: "This is also just speculation. And what I want to ask you now is, do you want a DNA test to confirm the blood relationship?"
Emily dropped her eyes, momentarily unsure whether to shake her head or nod.
If she wasn't the grand duke's daughter, then the test wouldn't matter. But what if she had to?
If you were the grand duke's child, would you have to go back to the grand duke's house? Will she become an aristocrat, living in the luxurious world of aristocrats? So what about your mother? Will she be taken away from her mother?
The more Emily thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She didn't want any tests. She just wanted to live her life as it is now. That was more than enough for her.
Emily looked at Andrew and said softly, "I don't think I want to take the test."
Seemingly aware of Emily's concern, Andrew continued, "Actually, if you really are the daughter of the grand duke, it doesn't matter. If you want, I will protect you for life. Life Your mother's will also improve, won't it?"
Emily still hesitated, Earl Andrew continued: "Just confirm the bloodline. If you are really the son of the grand duke, it is up to you whether you want to return to the grand duke's house or not. but."
Emily looked at Andrew, only to see him suddenly holding her hand, firmly saying: "Emily, don't be afraid, I will always protect you."
Emily looked into Andrew's eyes, in which there was a tenderness she had never seen before. What is this again? Why does everything bother her so much?
Emily withdrew her hand from Count Andrew's. She raised her head to look at Andrew, and said softly, "Lord Count, you've been so good to me. I don't know how to thank you."
Andrew looked at Emily for a long time. After a while, he stood up and said in a low voice, "You don't seem to have seen my attitude well enough. I'll give you time. But Emily, you need to know, sooner or later you will too. You must answer me, don't hide anymore."
Emily kept her head down and pursed her lips and didn't say anything, or maybe she just didn't know what to say.
Andrew looked at Emily, sighed and said: "Go back, about the test, I hope you will think carefully."
Emily stood up, took a deep breath, bowed her head and said: "My lord count, I have no idea about the test. If this will cause pain in the hearts of the Grand Duchess and the Duchess, I have no idea. calm down, I am very willing.
Andrew nodded, said: "Okay then, you go back to rest. We will arrange the time for testing."
Emily nodded in response and then left the room.
Emily thought the test would happen soon, but a few days passed and she still hadn't heard from Earl Andrews about it, as if he'd forgotten about it for good. Emily thought perhaps the grand duke was busy. She waited, but secretly rejoiced in her heart, thinking that she might be the daughter of the grand duke made her feel like a myth. She thought she couldn't resist the sudden change in her identity. Emily thought of her mother, Dian. She raised her, so does she also know that she is not her child? But her grandmother still raised her despite how difficult life in the village was. She couldn't imagine how if Mrs. Dian knew she had found her biological parents, how she would feel.
Emily was still thinking. A few days passed quickly, Emily did not wait for the news to get tested, but received another message. The lost second daughter of the grand duke has returned.
Emily heard the news and breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she didn't crave the seat of nobility at all. The second daughter of the grand duke is back, she is very happy for the grand duke and the grand duchess.
Andrew looked at Emily, suddenly saying: "Are you feeling relieved? Don't you really want to be the grand duke's daughter?"
Emily heard Andrew's voice and was a little startled. She looked at Andrew and replied softly, "The Grand Duchess and the Grand Duchess have found their daughter. I'm very happy for them."
Andrew looked at Emily and asked, "Don't you really think you look a lot like the Grand Duchess? You should have realized this a long time ago. There's no way a commoner could look like you."
Emily lowered her head, and after a while she raised her head and said, "But the grand duke's daughter has been found anyway. This is probably just a coincidence."
Andrew looked at Emily's stubborn appearance and sighed. He never expected Emily to be so stubborn. Andrew tapped Emily on the forehead and said in a low voice, "Idiot."
Emily clutched her forehead, a little sulky, and looked away. It's incomprehensible, why does everyone like to tap her forehead?! Brant didn't say it, but so did Count Andrew. Count Andrew has been so gentle and approachable lately. It wasn't like the original image she saw anymore. So much so that Emily had a little doubt as to whether Earl Andrews had been swapped out.
Andrew looked at Emily and said softly: "Get ready, come with me to see the grand duke's unidentified daughter."
The fact that Emily was the daughter of the grand duke was certain in Andrew's heart. He didn't believe that the person at the grand duke's house was the grand duke's biological daughter. This time he was there just to see the antics of the fake.
Emily followed behind Andrew. The grand duke's mansion today contained more people than last time. But different from the melancholy atmosphere in the previous time. This time, the whole villa is decorated extremely splendidly, all guests have smiles on their faces.
Emily lifted her head to look. I only saw a lot of small nobles coming up to congratulate the grand duke. And walking beside the grand duke and grand duchess was Lyli.
Emily was actually a little surprised. Before coming here, there were countless speculations in her heart about this lost son of the grand duke, but she really didn't expect that person to be Lyli.
Today, Lyli wore a very luxurious and low-key dress, exalting the nobility of a great aristocrat. She smiled shyly at everyone, her beauty was also very good, now with makeup, she looks even more beautiful.
Lyli of course also saw Count Andrew and Lyli. She hesitated to lower her head, but then quickly raised her head as if nothing had happened.
That day she took advantage of Emily's hug and cut some of Emily's hair. She tried to dye those hairs black to match her own hair color.
The t*****e at Count Bratt's place was unbearable for her, it really was worse than death! So she looked for a chance to run away.
She really ran away, risked her life to run. She bet. Bet that Emily is really the grand duke's daughter. Bet her bluff can pass everyone's eyes. She knew that if this scheme of hers failed, she would have to return to Earl Bratt's house and suffer all the t*****e. She doesn't want that. And fortunately, Emily is the son of the grand duke. When she heard about this result, Lyli was overjoyed like crazy, but at the same time, jealousy also burned in her mind. For what? Why is it easy for Emily to get everything. It's not enough to be Earl Andrew's close servant, now that she's the grand duke's daughter!
Lyli was so jealous that her eyes were red. Fortunately, her plan worked. She will replace Emily as the grand duke's daughter. As for Emily, stay as a servant forever.
