Werther drove the carriage on the way back to the castle. When he drove slowly to a place with beautiful scenery, he wanted to rest here for a while, so he stopped the carriage and leaned on it.
He looked at the clouds floating gently in the blue sky in the distance and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. When he was in Nightstone Town, the old painter was obviously wary of him. He seemed to be prejudiced against the nobles. He didn't know what the reason was.
Well, and why did the young painter dress up as a man? What is the story of the Cavernola family?
At this time, in order to avoid the broken dead leaves that had fallen from the trees, the horse in front of him lightly jumped over here, causing the carriage to suddenly jolt, pulling Werther back from his thoughts just now.
"Well, it's already the middle of winter, and there are still leaves that haven't fallen off yet." He put his hands above his eyes and looked up at the big tree, "It's such a big tree, no wonder there are so many leaves that haven't fallen off yet."
Light."
He looked at the position of the sun again and guessed that it should be noon now. It would probably take more than an hour to return to Daybreak Town, and by then his stomach would be hungry.
"Fortunately, I prepared bread and milk in advance. Why don't we just eat something here? It won't be too late to set off after a while." He muttered to himself, opened the car door, and rummaged through the package, and soon
Then I found milk and my favorite cheese bread.
After eating outside the car, he rested for a few minutes and then sat back in the driver's seat.
The carriage started to move forward again, and suddenly the voice of the parchment came to my ears: "If Ivan comes back, let him take the medicine box and stay by your side."
Finally, the parchment gave me guidance again! However, why should Ivan be guarding me with the medical kit? Could it be that I might be in danger, or could the people around me be in danger? Werther was confused.
At the same time, I was still a little nervous.
At this time, the parchment gave another guide: "Don't pour coffee for Mrs. Agnes, Earl Marton will take the opportunity to poison her. Also, be careful not to let them poison Mrs. Agnes in other ways."
What does this mean? He became even more confused. Could it be that Mrs. Agnes will come to my castle and the parchment asked me to keep Ivan with me to save her? He didn't know when it would happen.
There was no time to think so much, so he hurried back to the castle.
It was already afternoon, and the servants were all working in the castle. He parked the carriage and saw Tom who was tending the fruit trees.
"Uncle Tom, has Mrs. Agnes been here?" he asked worriedly.
"Your Highness, you are back~" Tom stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "She didn't come, there are no guests today."
"I know, maybe she will come soon." Werther walked into the castle anxiously.
Tom stood there blankly, not knowing what Werther was talking about. But he didn't think much about it and continued to take care of the fruit trees.
Werther just walked into the castle and looked for Ivan everywhere, but he was nowhere to be seen. It took him a long time to remember that he and Wilder had gone to have their portrait taken early in the morning.
"Oops, I won't be able to finish all those portraits in one day. I'm afraid Ivan won't be able to come back until night." Werther murmured to himself. He was worried at the moment if Mrs. Agnes and Earl Marton were to leave during the day.
When I come to the castle and Ivan is not there, will anything go wrong?
"What's wrong with you, Your Highness?" Laura's voice came from behind, "You look very nervous. If you need any help, you can tell me."
"Laura, do you know medical skills?" he asked seriously.
Laura Mang
Shaking his head calmly: "Of course I don't understand. Ivan is the only one in this castle who knows medical skills. What's wrong, Your Highness?"
"It's nothing. You go and do your work first. I want to think about it."
"Yes, but please don't keep it to yourself, Your Highness. If you have anything, feel free to discuss it with me."
"Thank you for your kindness, Laura."
At this time, there was a "bang bang bang" knock on the door, which startled Laura, but she soon became happy again.
"Is Ivan back?" She jumped to open the door.
"Wait, Laura!" Werther stopped her hurriedly, "The way you knock on the door doesn't look like Ivan or Wile. You'd better cover your face. I'm worried if Mrs. Agnes is outside...
…”
"Ah, yes, I even forgot to cover my face." Laura hurriedly covered the lower half of her face with the scarf and proudly showed off in front of Werther, "Look, I learned this from the painter. It looks very beautiful.
Is that so, Your Highness? But is that painter a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know about that either. Don't speak for now, lest your voice be recognized. I'll open the door. You'd better hide somewhere where you won't be noticed easily."
"Yes, Your Highness." Laura whispered, then quietly walked into the kitchen with a rag and started to help Potter clean.
Werther planned to open the door. Unexpectedly, the knocking on the door stopped just as he reached the door. He guessed that Tom had seen the people who came and was greeting them. After a few minutes, there was still no knock on the door, so Werther went to the door.
Carefully opening the door a crack, I saw Earl Marton, Lady Alice, Nolly and the servants standing at the door, while Earl Marton was holding Tom's neck.
"Your Highness, I really don't know why you are angry?" Tom said helplessly.
"Call me Your Highness the Earl!" His eyes seemed to be filled with anger, almost bursting out.
Werther hurriedly pushed the door open and said loudly: "Your Majesty, why bother my housekeeper? He doesn't know you have such a habit!"
When Earl Marton heard Werther's voice, he became even more angry: "As expected of your butler, he is so rude like you. It's really irritating. I really want to teach him a lesson and let him remember it."
"Your Majesty, for my sake, let him go. If you refuse, then I will fight you to determine the outcome. You must have heard of my power, but you may not be able to fight me."
Pass me."
"Don't think I'm afraid of you." Although Earl Marton's words were harsh, his expression immediately softened. He gently put Tom down, patted his clothes neatly, and smiled at him, showing his neat white teeth.
Werther noticed the changes in Earl Marton and knew that if he really took action, he would still be afraid of himself. However, he didn't know what the purpose of these people coming here, so he could only deal with it.
"Your Majesty, what brings you to my place?" Werther asked, "You are not here to make peace with me, are you?"
"Reconciliation?" Earl Macdonal was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes, immediately smiled, and said loudly, "Yes, I am here to reconcile with you."
"In my memory, it shouldn't be that easy for the two of us to reconcile, right?" Werther crossed his arms on his chest and asked with a frown.
"The things before were all trivial~" Earl Madonna walked to the top step and put his arms around Werther's neck pretending to be kind, "I have been thinking about it for a long time. I misunderstood you before, right?
My fault,
I feel very guilty about this and have been looking for opportunities to apologize to you."
"I can't bear it. You are a count, and I am just a down-and-out prince who doesn't even have a title." Werther also pretended to smile and moved his arm away from the back of his neck.
A trace of anger flashed across Earl Marton's eyes, but he quickly returned to his previous state. He no longer hugged Werther, but said with a smile: "Don't you give me a chance? Only by giving me a chance can you know."
My sincerity."
At this time, Mrs. Agnes also said: "Yes, we are really here to apologize. Just believe us."
Werther glanced at their hands and said: "He said helplessly, you kept saying you were here to apologize, but you didn't bring anything with you. This really makes it hard for me to believe what you said."
Unexpectedly, at this time, Noli took out a small exquisite wooden box from his pocket, walked forward with a smile, handed it to Werther, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, this is what the Earl and Madam have prepared for you."
Gift."
Werther was slightly shocked. Unexpectedly, Noli was so thoughtful that he actually brought a gift.
He carefully took the small box and opened it gently. Inside he saw a very small sword made of gold with many crystals inlaid on it, which looked very delicate.
Even Earl Marton looked at the contents of the box in shock. He probably didn't know that Noli still had this with him.
Mrs. Agnes seemed a little angry. She looked at Noli with a slightly resentful look, bit her lip, and looked at the contents of the box with reluctance.
Werther guessed that the things Noli gave him should belong to Mrs. Agnes, but he probably didn't get her consent when he brought them.
"This is really beautiful, with exquisite workmanship and high-quality materials. It should be very expensive!"
Werther said, thinking, I will not be bribed by this thing, and I don't want to accept their things anyway.
"Take it, I'm afraid you have never seen such a beautiful treasure." Mrs. Agnes said arrogantly.
Werther closed the box and handed it to Noli: "I'm sorry, my castle can't hold such a good thing for the time being, please take it back."
After seeing what he did, Earl Marton was furious and said angrily: "Are you ungrateful?"
"It's not that I'm ungrateful, I just don't want your treasures." Werther smiled and said, "I have other things to do. If you are here just for this matter, then please go back."
"Wait!" Earl Macdonald immediately held the door, preventing Werther from closing it, and said urgently, "Don't forget the rules of Notland. My status is above yours now. You can't come to your castle as a guest.
Shut me out."
Werther looked at him expressionlessly and said slowly: "So what?"
"You shutting me out is tantamount to contempt for the king. Based on this alone, I have caught you." Earl Macdonal smiled sinisterly, "As long as I let someone tell the king now, he
You will definitely be punished."
"In that case, please come in." Werther stood beside the door and looked at them coldly.
As they entered the door, the servants took off their cloaks and gave them to Tom.
Werther had to lead them to the reception room.
"What's the matter with you?" Werther asked expressionlessly.
"Didn't I say that I want to make peace with you?" Earl Marton showed a sinister smile again.
"But your expression clearly shows ill intentions." Werther directly expressed his thoughts.
