After they left the hut, they followed the stairs to the basement and returned to the ground.
Werther carefully closed the iron door of the basement and spread dry grass on it. He said to Wile: "We will take Khalil to the carriage and try not to let others notice."
Wile nodded: "Then I'll go to the front of the house and take a look, and then take him there when there are fewer people passing by."
After saying that, he ran to the front of the house. After a while, he ran back again: "Your Highness, there is no one in front now. Let's go there quickly."
Werther took Khalil into the carriage, and Wile continued to drive.
"Your Highness, are you returning from here?"
"It's better to walk forward for a while and return to Daybreak Town from another street to avoid being discovered that something is wrong."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After driving on the road for several more hours, they returned to the castle in Daybreak Town.
After Tom opened the door, he was startled when he saw a strange man smiling strangely at him.
"Your Highness, who is this?"
"He is Khalil, the person who can expose Duke Duke's face in front of the king." Werther walked into the castle and handed the cloak to Tom. "We found him in the strange hut in Night Town, and with his help we found him.
The terrible thing is that Duke Dark and others want to find evidence of the dragon clan."
Werther showed Tom the hairpin and diary.
"Looking for the dragon clan? The dragon clan knows magic!" Tom opened his eyes in surprise. "After the Majik family was exterminated, the king was very afraid of magic, especially the nobles who were related to magic. Regarding this, Duke Dark
They know the best, don’t they know that being related to the Dragon Clan will make the king suspicious of them?”
"It's precisely because they knew this that they had to do it secretly. You don't know, they specially built a hut in Night Town, hid important physical evidence in it, and made many traps. They caught Khalil in the hut.
I was guarding it." Witte said, "It just happened that Nightfall Town became my territory, so I went to Nightfall Town again and found this weird hut."
"I see. Duke Dark must have wanted to use the dragon's magic to stabilize his position in Notland. Now that His Highness has obtained such evidence, he has seized their handle, which is very beneficial to you.
"
"We have indeed caught their clues, but we are not completely sure yet, and we cannot show these evidences to my father immediately." Witte lowered his head slightly, with a bad feeling in his heart, "But, I must
Get ahead of Duke Dark and try to prevent them from doing more extreme things. I think his ambition goes beyond that."
"Your Highness, you must be extremely careful."
"I know, don't worry, Uncle Tom."
"Your Highness, Mr. Khalil looks very cold. Why don't you let him sit by the heater?" Tom asked.
"Well, that's good. By the way, pour him a cup of hot coffee and get him a set of valet clothes from the warehouse. He needs to hide in the castle for a while recently." After giving instructions to Tom, Werther looked at him again.
Khalil, "You go and sit down by the stove first. I'm going to get something from the study."
Khalil's eyes have been in shock since he entered the castle. For him, this castle is already a very luxurious place. When he thinks that he will live in such a place for a period of time, he feels as if
dreaming.
Werther looked at Khalil who was stunned next to him, and said softly: "Well, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah, yes, yes, Your Highness, Lord." Kalil showed that weird smile again.
, but there was happiness and gratitude in his eyes.
Werther smiled softly and walked towards the study. He heard Ivan say that before he came to stay in this castle, the palace sent someone to send some things that the lord needed. In addition to black tea and coffee, there were also several
Books, one of which seems to have portraits of various Lords of Notland.
Khalil looked at his dirty shoes with holes, worried that his shoes would stain the floor, so he stood there in embarrassment. Although Werther had offered to let him sit by the stove to warm up, he still refused.
I'm sorry to take another step forward.
At this time, Carla, the castle maid, was walking to the door with a mop, intending to clean the steps in front of the door, when she suddenly saw Khalil standing there with an embarrassed look on his face.
During this time, Kara was overwhelmed by jealousy. She was jealous of Lina and could not drive her out of the castle. She had long been holding back her anger and urgently needed to find an outlet. In her eyes, this person standing at the gate of the castle
The man looked weak and like a commoner. She thought this man was a good choice.
She raised her head arrogantly, stamped on the floor with all her strength and made an angry sound. After stopping in front of poor Khalil, she looked at him fiercely and uttered vicious words: "I don't know what happened to you, this dirty thing."
You're coming in, but the castle won't let you in, get out of here quickly, or I'll blow you away with a mop!"
"I, I was brought by His Highness the Lord, and he saved me." Kalil tried to please the maid in front of him, and smiled, but the smile was still weird.
Kara was startled by his smile and became even more angry. She pointed directly at his nose and cursed: "You ungrateful thing, get out of here. You must know that only nobles and wealthy people can enter the castle."
, you, a poor commoner, dare to sneak into the castle by yourself, do you believe that the lord will kill you? I really don’t know how that old guy Tom guards the door? "
Khalil saw Kara's fierce look and waved his hands in a hurry: "I didn't sneak in, it was really the lord who brought me here."
"Why would such a noble young man as the lord bring in such a dirty thing like you? I won't allow you to slander him like this!" Carla mistakenly thought that she was doing a just thing for Werther, and she raised the mop towards Khalil with peace of mind.
Smash it.
"Don't do this!" Khalil shouted as he hid at the door.
Fortunately, Tom appeared in time and saw this scene.
Tom held the clothes he had brought for Khalil in his hands and scolded: "Kara, you are a maid who doesn't understand the rules, you actually bully the guests brought by His Highness like this! I think I have to give you some punishment appropriately!"
When Carla heard what Tom said, she didn't stop and continued to hit the man opposite with the mop. Fortunately, Khalil dodged in time.
"Kara, don't stop!" Tom shouted angrily.
Only then did Carla come back to her senses, looked at Tom dumbfounded, and said, "Did I hear you right? This dirty guy is a guest of His Highness?"
"Of course!"
"Why don't I know?"
"Why should I let you know about His Highness? What a joke! Also, if you bully others like this, it will bring shame to His Highness. Do you understand or not?"
"How could I bring shame to His Highness? I was helping him." Carla looked a little aggrieved.
"You are doing a disservice! Moreover, bullying civilians is something that His Highness cannot tolerate. As a maid of the castle, doing so will not only make His Highness angry, but also ruin his reputation. I hope you can think clearly and don't do this again in the future.
things."
Tom glared at her angrily and handed the clothes to Khalil: "Sir, please put them on, I hope you don't mind it, and then sit down."
Next to the stove, you will feel very warm, and I will bring you coffee later."
Khalil took the clothes and looked at Tom gratefully: "Sir, you are such a good person. It's not too late for me to be happy, so how could I dislike you?"
Carla had no choice but to go out and clean the steps angrily.
In the study, Werther was looking for the book with the portraits. He had never been interested in looking at the portraits of the great nobles before. Now in order for Carrier to recognize whether his captor was Count Macdonald, he had to take the book
Find the book.
Since it was only delivered a few months ago, it should still be brand new. Werther searched in rows and found some new books on the bookshelf at the back, so he flipped through them.
"That's it!" He took out a book with a portrait on it. He didn't have time to open it and read it carefully, so he couldn't wait to walk out of the study and came to the stove.
At this time, Khalil had put on clean clothes and was drinking coffee. His face became rosier, his cheeks were not as frozen as before, and even his smile suddenly became normal.
"Thank you very much." Khalil stood up and said respectfully, "It is really an honor for me to be treated well by His Highness the Lord."
"You're welcome, you can still help me." Werther also sat down in the rocking chair next to the stove, took out the book he just found in the study, and started flipping through it.
It turned out that there were only portraits in it. The reason why the portraits of all the lords were sent to each castle was to facilitate the lords to get to know each other.
Turning to the back, I found the portrait of Earl Macdonald. That face felt extremely familiar to Werther.
Isn't this the young man who was next to Duke Duke on the day of the palace banquet? With the same handsome appearance, sinister eyes, and a smile as terrifying as the abyss, that was him! I remember that day, he showed an expression of extreme disgust towards me. I can imagine
I know how much he hates me.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Carrier noticed the abnormality on Werther's face.
"It's nothing. Look, is the count who sent people to arrest you that day the same person?"
Werther showed him this page. He looked at it carefully, thought about it again, and said: "On the day I was arrested, the count was sitting in the carriage. The wind blew up the curtains, and I saw his profile.
, if I remember correctly, he has this color of hair and eyes, and his facial features are also very similar."
"It seems that he is indeed right." Werther ordered. "Remember his appearance. Maybe one day, you will have the opportunity to identify him as your captor in front of the king."
"What?" Khalil looked panicked, "Is it possible that I will meet the king?"
"Yes, but you don't need to be nervous, and I will be by your side." Werther comforted, "If you are really too nervous, I can think of other ways."
Kalil swallowed and rubbed his hands on his pants nervously: "Your Majesty, you are my savior. Without you, I might have died in that hut. I want to repay you for this."
Enqing, I will personally explain everything to the king. But, I don’t know, when do you plan to let me meet the king?"
Werther smiled: "Probably not recently, we have to wait a little longer."
"Ah~ great!" Khalil breathed a sigh of relief, "But, Your Highness, what exactly is the dispute between you, Duke Darke, and Earl Marton, and why do you want to seize them?"
"Don't you know this?" Werther thought for a while and said, "That's right. You probably don't know the reason either. In that case, don't ask more. The fewer people know about these things, the better."
"I understand, Your Highness, I won't ask any more questions."
