Earl Marton took his attendants and several guards and rushed to Night Town overnight. When he reached the end of the street, he opened the curtains and saw that the dilapidated house was still safe from a distance.
"Great, the house is still there. Open the car door for me. I want to go down and see if that dirty and smelly man is still there!" He knocked on the car door and shouted to the attendant who was driving, his expression impatient and anxious.
.
The attendant stopped the carriage steadily, got out of the car in a hurry, and opened the door for him: "Your Highness, I will help you down."
"Oh, what are you doing with your hands?" Earl Marton frowned angrily, "Kneel down quickly and let me step on your knees, so that I won't fall easily. It's all because you forgot to bring your feet.
Here comes the stool to step on."
"But, Your Highness, this will make it easier for you to fall. Have you forgotten that you fell off my knee yesterday?" the attendant persuaded, "Our carriage is not very high, so I helped you jump off.
That’s it.”
"You are a servant who is always neglectful. You even forgot to bring a stool twice. If it weren't for the fact that you were from a small noble family, I would have put you in a dungeon." Earl Macdonal shook off his hand and helped him out of the carriage.
, and did not forget to give him a fierce look.
The scolded attendant lowered his head pitifully and stood nearby, thinking, didn't you yourself ask me not to bring the stool? You also said that it was to practice the ability of being as light as a swallow, and now you don't.
He can jump off the carriage, so he blames me for not bringing a stool. It's really too much.
Earl Marton noticed the abnormality in his expression, so he pulled his collar fiercely and asked angrily: "Do you have any grudge against me?"
The attendant was so frightened that he waved his hands hurriedly: "How can there be any resentment? Your Highness, you are too worried."
"Huh, come with me to the front of the hut and have a look!"
Earl Marton took his attendant to the window of the hut and stared inside, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find Khalil.
"It's strange. He's not standing here or lying on a chair. Where is he now? Did he fall into a pit?"
"I don't know either, Your Highness, Earl, but I think your guess is reasonable."
Earl Marton put his hand on his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly said in panic: "Just in case, let's go and have a look. If he runs away, we will be doomed!"
The attendant and two other guards brought torches and walked into the basement with Earl Marton. When they walked around to the door of the hut, they found that there was no one in the house, there was nothing in the pit, and there were thorns on the table in the corner.
It also looks like it has been turned over.
"Go over and see if the hairpins and diary on the table are still there." Earl Marton stepped back his entourage.
The attendant almost lost his balance and almost fell into the deep pit below. He turned back tremblingly and said: "I can't jump over either, Your Highness, if I had known this, I would have brought the flying elf here."
"Why are you so stupid?" Earl Macdonal kept hitting the attendant on the head and scolded, "I have never seen anyone as stupid as you. If the flying elf doesn't bring it over, how can he check whether the things on the table are there?
"
"I didn't know that man ran away. He doesn't look like such a powerful person. How could he run away?" The attendant scratched his hair pitifully and muttered.
"Wait a minute, that man really doesn't look like he can jump so far. Could it be that he was taken away?"
Thinking of this, Earl Marton realized that what he was worried about when he was in the castle still happened.
Okay, I was lucky enough to think that no one would come here, but I miscalculated.
"No need to look for it. In fact, I was just unwilling to give in. The diary and hairpin must have been stolen. Damn it! It must have been done by the eldest prince!"
"How can you be sure it was him who did it?"
"Because most people will not go to the hut to check, let alone take the risk to take away the card and diary. However, if the new lord discovers this place, he will most likely come here to check. Once he learns that there is a
The things hidden here are related to Duke Dark, and he will even take away the things here, so that he can catch Duke Dark."
"But if it was the eldest prince, why would he take Khalil away?"
"He is the one who knows the secret of Duke Dark. Of course the eldest prince will take him away and hide him in the castle. At the critical moment, he will be allowed to meet the king and tell us everything about our secret search for the Dragon Clan.
"Earl McDonell was looking at the table fiercely at this time, "And his force value is very high now. Maybe it won't be difficult for him to jump over."
The attendant asked in surprise: "Your Highness, what should we do now? If those things fall into the hands of the king, or if Khalil is allowed to meet the king, we will be doomed!"
Earl Marton looked at him contemptuously and whispered: "What are you doing in such a panic? Do you think the eldest prince will be stupid enough to tell the king everything immediately? He is not sure that he can win this time."
"Then shall we go to Daybreak Town to get the things back now?"
"We won't go tonight. Early tomorrow morning, we will go to visit the eldest prince. Not only do we want to bring back the things, but we also want to bring back Khalil. Of course, I can't be sure that it was the eldest prince who did it, but I still want to have a look.
.”
Earl Marton was very nervous at the moment. If he couldn't find anything in Daybreak Town, he would have to find another way.
In the castle of Daybreak Town, everyone had dinner. Kalil was taken to take a bath by Wile. He looked much cleaner, and he looked to be only about twenty years old. Wile took him to Witte.
in front of.
Werther looked at him in surprise: "Now I noticed that the color of your eyes is really beautiful. It's like the eyes of Wile and Ivan combined, very special."
Khalil scratched his head in embarrassment: "In order to survive, I have to work in the filthiest places every day, and I don't have enough food or clothing to keep warm every day. My body and mind have already been destroyed. After meeting His Highness, I
Only then can I feel the beauty of life.”
"It's easy, hehe." Witte smiled, "You still look weak now, you just need to take care of your body."
"Your Highness, where will he stay at night?" Wile asked.
"Well, let me think about it, since Laura moved in, are there no rooms on the first floor?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"If you let Khalil live on another floor, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to escape if danger occurs. Why not let him live in the same room as you? If anything happens, you can inform me in time."
"But, I think he won't be in any danger." Wile narrowed his eyes, seeming a little reluctant, "I'm used to living by myself, and I don't want to sleep together with others, not to mention my...
The bed is a single bed.”
"No, he is still easily in danger. If Earl Marton discovers something strange in the cabin, he will definitely suspect us. Khalil needs to live in a location that is convenient for escape. Your room is relatively remote.
Very convenient from
You're escaping through the back door." Werther's eyes became funny, "I will give you gifts, such as new clothes."
"I don't need new clothes." Wile put his hands on the back of his head, looking absent-minded, "I don't want to live with Khalil either."
"Don't say that, Khalil won't cause you any trouble."
"I'm not saying he's troublesome, I just don't want to sleep in the same bed as anyone else."
"What if there's an extra bed in your room?"
"That won't work, Your Highness. My room is already small. If I put a bed in it, there won't be room to walk." With a look of reluctance, Wile turned sideways to Werther, closed his eyes, and his voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
At this time, Tom came over with black tea, handed the teacup to Werther, and said softly: "Your Highness, why not let Khalil live with me? My room is very close to the side entrance of the castle. If Khalil is in danger,
Then you can escape through the side door."
After hearing this, Wile opened his eyes excitedly, took Tom's hand, and said happily: "Great, it will be convenient for me with Uncle Tom's help."
Tom looked at Wile with a smile: "My bed is larger and can sleep two people."
"Then it's settled!" Werther happily stood up from his chair, clenched his hands into fists, and said excitedly, "We must protect Khalil's safety and make sure he goes to meet his father intact!"
Khalil, who was on the side, saw that he finally had a suitable room to stay in, and he was relieved. I don’t know when I will see the king, and I don’t know what I should say, but the lord should tell me what to do.
Well, he thought.
Werther looked at him again and put his hand on his shoulder: "During this period, you can recuperate in the castle. After you get better, I will make you a valet in the castle and give you a monthly salary. You
My task is to do some cleaning and washing dishes in the castle. Remember, don’t leave the castle without my permission to avoid being discovered by them.”
After hearing this, Khalil almost jumped up with joy. It didn't matter whether he could get out of the castle or not. Now he could dominate the castle and be a servant in the castle. This was an unimaginable good thing for him.
.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness, for not only saving me, but also taking me in as a servant. How could there be such a good person like you?"
"Well, actually I can also benefit from you. Khalil, I want to know, do you have any relatives? Do you need me to find someone to help you bring news?"
"No, Your Highness, I have no relatives." Kalil looked at the ground sheepishly and said, "Now that I am your servant, just tell me if you have any orders. For example, do I need it now?"
Do you need to mop the floor?"
"No need, you can work with them again tomorrow. It's getting late now, you should go to bed."
Everyone returned to their rooms. Witte felt that now he should practice magic secretly. He practiced until two o'clock in the morning before returning to the bedroom to sleep. After this practice, there was no progress. He thought that maybe he needed to do it again.
It takes a few days of practice to see significant progress.
Early the next morning, Werther, who was still in a sweet dream, was suddenly awakened by the noise outside.
He suddenly sat up from the bed, feeling a bad feeling in his heart. He rubbed his eyes and immediately got dressed, then hurriedly went downstairs.
At the entrance of the stairs on the first floor, he saw Earl Macdonald standing in the hall with many guards, and Tom and Wile were standing in front of them with their arms outstretched, as if to stop them.
