He choked up: "Well, yes. It was in that basement that I spent the most terrifying month of my life. At that time, I thought I was going to die there, because in the dark days, I had seen with my own eyes some
This is how the child was tortured to death by Master Mark. He once inserted the scabbard of a knife into a child's body and refused to pull it out, making him struggle painfully for three days and three nights until he survived.
The pain is excruciating. I thought that sooner or later we would all die from this torture... until one day..."
Tragic memories kept coming back, and what had been deliberately forgotten turned out to be engraved in my mind and would follow me throughout my life.
He wiped his eyes, the circles under his eyes were red.
No one would have thought that a boy with such a pair of eyes as beautiful as blue sea water would have such a tragic past. Under his handsome and lovely face, there are such sad and unbearable memories.
"Until one day, Master Mark and his men suddenly entered the basement and started strangling our necks with ropes. At that time, we didn't know anything, let alone why they wanted to kill us suddenly. Only later did I know...
…”
The manager was sitting on the sofa on the other side, his majestic face showing pity for the child who had been following him since childhood.
He took over Noah's words and continued: "Because at that time, the Earl knew about the good things that Master Mark had done, and began to order people to search Master Mark's residence, and said that as long as Master Mark was caught, he would be beaten to death. So Mark
When the young master received the news, he wanted to kill these children and silence them before the Earl's men and us arrived."
"It's so hateful! It's too much! It's damned!" Ning Tong'er was so angry that her face turned red, and she cursed angrily.
She didn’t know where to use the limited curse words. Everything she heard was really beyond her knowledge. She didn’t know how to scold these scum. “Why haven’t such people been punished yet?”
Where’s the punishment?”
And let him come out to cause harm to others?
"Miss Tong'er, even if the earl punishes Master Mark himself, outsiders cannot know about this situation. The honor of the Edson family cannot be destroyed in the hands of Master Mark alone, do you understand?"
Ning Tong'er doesn't understand.
There are too many things in this world that she doesn't understand.
"At that time, we rushed to the basement. Master Mark and his men had strangled two children to death. Fortunately, we saved other children."
There was a trace of elder's love on his face, which was always calm and self-possessed. He raised his hand and touched the head of Noah who was wiping his tears with his hand: "This child was the one I saved at that time. I rushed
When he arrived, Master Mark was strangling his neck with a rope around his riding crop, making him unable to breathe and almost suffocating to death. I have never offended the master of the Edson family, but at that time, he was
Following the order of the Earl, he desperately killed Master Mark, who was already red-blooded and driven into madness. He knocked him to the ground with the butt of a rifle, and then saved Noah who was about to suffocate..."
Over the years, he has really loved Noah as if he were his own child.
"Noah's family has been out of contact for a long time and he is homeless. In order to prevent him from falling into the hands of those people again, I took him in since then, and he has been following me to this day."
Ning Tong'er was very moved when she heard this: "Manager, you are such a good person."
The steward is not a good person, he is just loyal to Lord Edson.
But there is no need to say these words to Ning Tong'er.
She is too simple, and there are some things that would be a good thing if you didn't tell her.
Besides, since she thinks she is a good person, wouldn't it make her have a good impression of her, which would help her to sympathize with her and persuade Master Murong to return to England?
The cunning and cunning manager's calculations really made a "bounce" sound, and he was worthy of being an old fox.
"But," Ning Tong'er didn't understand, "why has such a heinous person not been punished? Isn't there anyone who can punish him?"
The steward nodded: "His Majesty the Earl ordered Master Mark to be hung up and whipped in turns, and he was ordered not to stop until he is beaten to death..."
When Ning Tong'er heard this, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Although it is said that tigers are poisonous and do not eat their seeds, this Mark is not a human being at all! It is impossible to use common sense to deal with him.
"The Countess broke her neck and died when the young master broke out. Young Master Mark relied on his uncles from the Countess' family. Before Young Master Mark was hanged up and beaten to death under the order of the Earl, one of his men had already secretly escaped.
, and tipped off Master Mark's mother's family, begging them to save Master Mark. At that time, several of them, all uncles and cousins of Master Mark, hereditary nobles, all rushed over to ask the Earl to be merciful and let Mark go.
Master."
"Could it be that the earl just let such a bad person go?"
"No, Miss Tong'er. The Earl did not let Master Mark go because of this. He was not moved by their pleas at all, and simply turned them away and refused to let them step into Edson Castle. These things
The nobles who came to plead for mercy became angry and began to settle the old score with the Earl about the death of Master Mark's mother in Edson Castle. They said that no matter what, the Earl could not kill Master Mark... but the Earl still refused to do so.
Moved."
"The Earl's power has far exceeded the power of Master Mark's mother's family. Their pleadings and curses failed to move the Earl. The Earl is simply indifferent."
"So, in this case, this heinous Mark is still alive today? What made the earl change his mind?"
"Miss Tong'er, I'm sorry, actually I don't know the reason either," the manager said.
"Really?" Ning Tong'er didn't understand.
"It's true. How could I deceive Miss Tong'er? What I told is the truth." The steward said to her honestly, "I only knew a little about the situation at that time. I don't know why. Lord Earl changed.
He made up his mind and spared Master Mark, whom he could not tolerate."
The manager recalled the scene at that time and found it really puzzling:
At that time, he stood at the door, watching the noble and angry Earl strode into the execution chamber. Until he walked in, the sound of the whip hitting the human body echoed in the execution room.
The crisp sound of "pop" still didn't stop.
He still remembers that voice very clearly to this day.
Standing at the door, he heard the soles of the Earl's riding boots stepping heavily on the stone floor of the execution chamber, which was already bleeding with blood. It was the blood of the executed accomplices - Master Mark's subordinates who helped the evildoer.
The Earl, wearing a brown woolen coat, exquisite deerskin gloves on his hands, and a pair of black riding boots on his straight long legs, stood in front of Master Mark with anger exuding, looking at him with intolerable eyes.
With his eldest son.
Although the Earl is almost middle-aged at this time, he is still so handsome that people can't look directly at him, so noble that they can't look directly at him, and so arrogant that people can only kneel on the ground and look up at him like a god.
In the mind of the steward, the earl will always be a young earl, and he will never grow old.
In the execution room filled with the strong smell of blood, the earl stood there. He was tall and straight, full of nobility and arrogance - the current young master was exactly like him, so the steward was so determined to choose
Murong Lie.
In the opinion of the manager, Murong Lie is the continuation of the Earl's bloodline.
The smell of blood in the air of the execution chamber became stronger and stronger. The Earl stood there, his golden hair as dazzling and beautiful as gold. Only the finest scalpel could carve out his perfect and deep face. On his handsome face
As always, arrogant and noble.
At this time, his cold and blue eyes were looking angrily at Master Mark who was hanging on the shelf. The two executioners put down their whips at the same time and waited for the Earl's order.
The earl looked at Master Mark coldly, and slowly opened his beautiful and thin lips: "For the sake of you being my son, do you have any last words?"
The manager thought that at that time, Master Mark had been beaten so hard that his whole body was covered with whip marks and there was no good skin left.
Although he did not dare to go to the execution chamber to disturb the Earl's interrogation of Master Mark, he stood at the door and could see that after the Earl asked this question, Master Mark slowly raised his head covered with blood and reluctantly opened his eyes.
He opened his eyes which were covered by the blood flowing from his forehead.
He is actually very handsome and looks like a master.
Of course - how could the impossibly handsome count and the dead countess, who was as beautiful as a queen, give birth to an ugly son?
However, the manager always felt that he didn't look like a count, and there was something indescribable about him, something particularly ruthless and twisted. He didn't know how to describe it, but he just felt that Master Mark had been different since he was a child.
It makes people feel scared and afraid to approach.
When he was twelve years old, after the incident of the maid being raped broke out, although the earl finally spared Master Mark's life, the people in Edson Castle saw that Master Mark's legs were weak and they were trembling with fear.
Don't dare to get within ten meters of him.
No one can guarantee that they will become the next soul killed by the lawless Master Mark.
No one can guarantee that when they get close to Master Mark, he won't drag him over to rip out his heart and lungs, and cut his face into a bloody mess, making it difficult to see his facial features.
