When dawn arrived, the sound of heavy rain gradually disappeared. The newly washed hillsides and vegetation looked particularly clear in the early morning sunshine. At this moment, a dexterous figure jumped out of the window and entered Werther's bedroom.
"Wow!" Werther screamed and woke up. He opened his eyes in horror, stared at the ceiling, and gasped for air, "How could he have such a terrible nightmare? However, the dream was backwards, which should be a good sign.
"
The birds chirping outside continued, indicating that it was already dawn, but the tightly drawn curtains made it almost impossible for sunlight to penetrate into the room. This environment made him fall into deep thought.
"I finally defeated Wright yesterday, but his backer is Duke Dak after all. Next, Duke Dak will definitely not let me go. I'm afraid things will get even more difficult." He said to himself.
Suddenly, a gentle and elegant female voice came into my ears: "That's true, but in that situation, you could only fight to the end with Wright, right?"
Who is talking to me, and this familiar strange feeling... Werther looked to the right and discovered that there was an ice cube in the quilt specially designed to wake him up from the cold, and Lina was standing upright in a maid uniform.
In front of the bed.
"Huh? Lina, when did you come in!"
"Your Highness, my steps have always been very light. It would be strange if you noticed."
"But I clearly locked the door!"
"Well, I flew in through the window. Your Highness only remembered to lock the door last night, but forgot to lock the window. I pushed it gently and opened it."
"Okay, then what's the matter with your outfit? And why did you do Wile's job of putting ice cubes to wake me up?" Werther pointed to the half of the ice cubes next to him.
"Wile was seriously injured yesterday and is still lying in bed. So while Wile is resting, I decided to take his place and complete his work. From today on, I will be His Highness's personal maid." Lina said in a tone of voice.
Faintly, his eyes looked up to the ground involuntarily, and a blush flashed across his cheeks.
Werther also noticed that Lina also changed the name of him to "Your Highness". In another world, he was called "Your Highness" by a vampire girl, which made him feel strange.
Werther looked at Lina's outfit curiously. Her high ponytail was tied with a brown ribbon, she was wearing a brown and white maid outfit, and her feet were replaced by brown high heels. However, even though it was a maid outfit, it looked like
But it was different from what other maids in the castle wore. This outfit highlighted Lina's cool and elegant temperament, and Werther couldn't help but look her up and down many times.
"Your Highness, what are you looking at?" Linna asked.
"Your clothes are very beautiful, but why are they different from those worn by Kath and others?"
"Well, I changed the old maid uniform into the style of our vampire maid uniform." Lina lowered her head and smiled shyly.
"That's it."
This was the first time that Werther saw Lina's shy look, and his heart suddenly palpitated. Then he turned around and continued to sleep.
However, Lina's expression gradually changed towards anger as time went by.
"Your Highness, don't tell me that you are still sleeping! I want to tell you that it is already noon and Zhizhi has already had lunch. It took me two hours to wake you up. Also, someone came to report just now.
, Mrs. Agnes is on her way to the castle."
Werther suddenly sat up from the bed, and he was now completely awake: "What, Wright's mother is coming to the castle! Has she already conveyed news to Duke Dark?"
"I saw in the chaos last night that the elf raised by Mrs. Agnes was flying towards Frank City with a letter in its mouth. I think what was written in that letter might be what you used to defeat Wright last night.
Duke Dark should know the news soon. You'd better think about how to deal with it."
"Did you go out last night?"
"yes."
"Now I must go and see Lady Agnes."
Werther instantly got up from the bed and hurriedly put on his clothes
After putting on his clothes, he ran out of the bedroom like the wind. As soon as he walked to the hall, he saw Mrs. Agnes entering the castle.
Mrs. Agnes held her head high, took off her jeweled cloak and put it in the hands of Tom, the butler. Then she picked a chair and sat down, looking at Werther haughtily.
Several maids were whispering.
"She's just the wife of an old knight commander. Why are you so arrogant to our Highness? It's simply too abnormal."
"What a rude person. Doesn't she know that the person standing in front of her is the lord?"
Werther heard the maid's whispers clearly, and he was also dissatisfied with Mrs. Agnes's behavior, but now he could only bite the bullet and confront her head-on.
As soon as he sat down, Mrs. Agnes sneered and said: "Your Highness, I really didn't expect that you were once the most useless person in the entire royal family, but now you bully my son to such an extent. It's really impressive.
.”
Werther smiled and said: "Mrs. Agnes, Wright has indeed done something wrong, and he has always liked to bully the people."
"Huh, don't tell me these words. I hope you can release Wright immediately and return the seat of knight commander and the lord's seal to him!"
"Are you kidding me? Wright is not qualified to be the knight commander. Moreover, I am the lord appointed by my father. The lord seal should be in my hand. It is normal to deal with the subordinates who make mistakes."
Mrs. Agnes's expression suddenly became distorted. He grabbed Werther's arms and tears welled up in his eyes:
"No! Your Highness, you must know that my son is the only person I care about now. The person I truly love has been killed by my father long ago. I can no longer make my son unhappy."
Werther did sympathize with Mrs. Agnes's plight, but her request was really unreasonable.
"Mrs. Agnes, don't worry, Wright will only be imprisoned for a while. When the time is up, I will naturally release him and reunite you."
"You, you can't lock him up! Even if you don't give him the lord's seal, you can just restore him to the title of Knight Commander." Agris grabbed her hair, her eyes widened slightly, and she looked a little crazy, "You
I don’t know how much he cares about the position of Knight Commander.”
"However, if he continues to be the knight commander, it will only bring disadvantages to Daybreak Town. Madam, I hope you can understand. In addition, I hope to re-hire your husband as the knight commander of Dawn Town."
"Him?" Mrs. Agnes's expression quickly changed to contempt. She clasped her hands on her chest and her tone was full of perseverance. "That old guy died of illness yesterday. Does Your Highness want a dead man to take on this important task?"
"The old commander passed away?" Witte was surprised, "Then why didn't any news come out last night?"
"Haha, who cares about that old guy's death? Anyway, I just want him to disappear in front of me. He is just a pawn of our Dark family."
Chess piece? Werther thought to himself, is the old commander really the stepping stone arranged by Duke Dark for Wright?
Werther suddenly felt that he was frightened, not only because of the news of the sudden death of the old commander, but also because of Mrs. Agnes's demeanor and tone, which really did not look like what a relative should look like. Perhaps, Mrs. Agnes was playing a trick of fate.
, the mind has long been confused.
"Your Highness, to be honest, I have sent last night's news to my father. If you know what's going on, it's best to let Wright go," Mrs. Agnes said.
Werther thought to himself that if he agreed to Mrs. Agnes's request, both he and Daybreak Town would suffer. Anyway, taking a step forward or taking a step back would be troublesome. It would be better to move forward and fight Duke Dark's power to the end.
"Please forgive me for not being able to fulfill your request."
"Humph!" Mrs. Agnes stood up, her facial features deformed by anger, "Then you wait and see how my father will deal with you."
After saying that, Mrs. Agnes took the cloak and left the castle angrily.
Werther knew it very well, and now he gradually began to face off against the Dukes of Dark.
What he needs to do is not only run Daybreak Town well, but also conceal his magic skills. As long as he has magic, he can secretly compete with Duke Dark and gradually defeat his power.
At this moment, the voice of the parchment rang in Werther's ears: a new mission, to build a granary and to practice the third level of magic within two months.
Now I really have to start practicing magic, and I happen to have the intention to do so. However, two months is too short, so I have to hurry up.
On the other side, a black elf flapped its wings in the air, holding an autographed letter written by Mrs. Agnes in its mouth, and flew into Duke Dark's residence in Fran City.
The elf landed at Duke Dark's feet and spit out the letter obediently.
"If I remember correctly, you are the elf raised by Aglis. I wonder what good news my daughter has brought me." Duke Dark picked up the letter and read it:
Father, I have good news and bad news. My daughter, let me tell you the good news first. My husband, the old knight commander, has died tonight. When he learned about the ambitions of the Dark family, I increased the
We missed the amount of medicine we gave him, causing him to die immediately. Now he can no longer open his mouth to say anything harmful to us.
The bad news is that Werther imprisoned your grandson Wright in the dungeon and took away the lord's seal. Yes, this Werther is the legendary great prince who knows nothing, the great prince we once looked down on. This is really incredible. I
Poor Wright was imprisoned in a dungeon without sunlight. I was very heartbroken and asked my father to send someone to rescue Wright as soon as possible.
After Duke Dark read the letter, he slapped the table angrily, and the muscles on his face knitted together with anger, making the elf next to him tremble in fright.
"Damn it! Werther is obviously such a useless person, but he actually defeated my grandson. It shows that he is not as weak as he shows at all."
Duke Duke's entourage said: "Your Highness, do you mean that Werther has been concealing his strength?"
"So far, this is indeed the case. This is also what I am most worried about. Fortunately, I have the magic parchment in my hand. Otherwise, once he secretly learns magic, we will really be unable to suppress him."
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. You own nearly a quarter of the territory of Notland, and you are still assisting the king in handling affairs in Frank City. You are already a person below ten thousand people. No matter how capable Werther is, you will not be able to defeat him."
you."
"Although Dawn Town is small, it is still a border territory. No matter what, I still want to bring Dawn Town back under my control."
"Then what should we do?"
"I plan to send people to set some traps for Witt and let him jump into it. I will also find a way to make Wright the lord of Daybreak Town, so that Daybreak Town can easily become my territory!
I will write a letter to Agnes now and ask her to keep an eye on Werther's movements. At the same time, you can select a few smart men and send them to Agnes's residence."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"One more thing, don't bring me food tonight. I still want to continue studying the magic on the parchment rolls. I don't want to waste time on eating."
"Your Highness, you have been practicing this magic for more than ten years and you haven't learned it yet. Could this parchment be fake?"
"Are you doubting my judgment?" Duke Dark suddenly became angry, "I searched for a lot of clues at that guy's house in Majik, and passed through many secret passages, and it took a lot of effort to find this parchment.
, how could it be fake! Besides, learning magic is a slow process, so it’s normal to see no results now.”
"But Your Highness..." the attendant was saying, but when he saw the angry eyes of Duke Dark, he did not dare to say any more.
"Your Highness, your judgment must be correct."
"Haha, I will definitely practice magic and then control the entire Notland!"
Duke Dark's proud laughter echoed throughout the room.
