"Ryan, do you really want to do this? They're just women, can't we kick them out or lock them up?"

In the room, Donnie's voice trembled to another person. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"If they are just ordinary women, it doesn't matter if you let them go, but they are the precious daughters and granddaughters of Nathan Baron Sean, if Baron Sean knows that his son-in-law died in our hands, at that time, not only will your inheritance of the territory be questioned, but your and my lives will also be taken by the knights under Baron Sean...... How to choose, you should know in your heart. ”

Zhou Ming's tone was cold, and he told Donnie to break it.

After Edward's death, he also left behind a wife and two daughters who were only three or four years old, his wife's name was Fanny, from the Nathan Territory adjacent to the Gran Domain, the lord of the Nathan Domain, Baron Sean and Baron Connor were friends for several lifetimes, and the two families had a history of marriage for several generations.

After Edward and Fanny got married, the couple had a good relationship and gave birth to a pair of lovely daughters, who were very much favored by the couple and Madame Madeleine.

"But, but...... I can't get that hand!"

Thinking of the innocent and lovely little niece, Donnie struggled in pain with his head in his hands.

"You don't have to do it yourself, snake girl, you go and remember not to let them go too painfully. ”

Zhou Ming commanded the snake girl behind him, the snake girl nodded, took out a small purse from her belt, and quietly exited the room.

Zhou Ming patted him on the shoulder and said: "Donnie, don't be too sad, since we have come this far, we have no way back, take a step back, it is a cliff! Forget these troubles, tell yourself that Brother Edward met a thief and was unfortunately killed, Miss Fanny and her two daughters died of the plague, it was all an accident, you became the lord of the Gran Lord, just because God forbid, you left a lone seedling for the Burns family (Donnie's surname), you originally just wanted to be a knowledgeable bachelor." ”

Listening to these comforting words, Donnie quickly came out of his state of struggle, and he kept hypnotizing himself: "Yes, an accident, it's an accident, it's not that I want to be a lord, I just want to be a bachelor, it's all God's arrangement for me......"

……

The next day.

A cry of grief came from the corridor on the third floor of the castle.

"Fanny, what's wrong with you?"

"Avril Lavigne, Louise, my sweet little darling, why don't you move?"

"Donnie, my cruel son, how come you don't spare a woman and two children, your heart is occupied by the devil? How can you be more ruthless than the devil!"

Madame Madeleine threw herself on the corpses, crying madly, and the servants around her tried to pull her away, but she grabbed her away with her hands like a madman, and no one dared to come forward.

"Snake Lady, how did you get Madame Madeleine out of her room, send Madame back to rest, Madame Madeleine is overly sad now, and needs to recuperate. ”

Zhou Ming walked over with his hands behind his back, and when he saw this scene, he said to the snake girl on the side with a displeased face.

"Ryan?"

Seeing Zhou Ming, Madame Madeleine suddenly raised her head and glared at him, and suddenly rushed towards him with her teeth and claws, and after being desperately stopped by several servants, she still stared at him, cursing in her mouth: "Devil, you devil! Everything was brought by you devil, you damn devil!"

Zhou Ming ignored it, didn't even glance at the three corpses on the ground, and passed by here indifferently.

Yes, he is the devil, and he has become a devil from the moment those high nobles do not give him the slightest chance, and do everything to humiliate and frame themselves.

A devil who is about to devour all the nobles of this world.

It's just a small interest.

……

After being "sent" back to the room by the snake girl, Lady Madeleine, from crying and making trouble at the beginning, to calm down later, only took one day, and then began to eat and sleep normally, obeying some activities arranged by Zhou Ming for her, such as inspecting the territory and pacifying the townspeople, and even publicly announced: From now on, all affairs in the territory and the castle will be handled by her son Donnie.

A week later, seeing that Zhou Ming had "relaxed" his vigilance, Madame Madeleine took the opportunity to visit Baron Connor, who was getting sicker, and quietly stuffed an envelope into the hand of Knight Maurice in the ward.

"Madame Madeleine, this ......" Knight Maurice pushed the envelope back, a little embarrassed.

"Morris, you've been serving the Burns family for thirty years since you became Connor's knightly squire at the age of thirteen, aren't you willing to do even a little favor in the most dangerous moment for the Burns family? ”

Madame Madeleine looked into Maurice's eyes and said in an almost pleading tone.

“…… Well, ma'am, I'll take this letter to Baron Sean. ”

Knight Maurice quietly hid the envelope in his sleeve and nodded to Madame Madeleine.

……

Three days later, one early morning.

Taking advantage of the drunkenness of the mercenaries guarding the gate of the castle last night, the knight of Maurice took a horse from the stable, and in the name of inspecting the territory, asked the farmer to open the gate, and then galloped towards Nathan's territory to the south.

However, just after crossing a mountain ridge, in front of a small dirt slope, the knight of Maurice saw a figure that seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

"Knight Morris, where do you want to go?" Sitting on a horse, Zhou Ming asked with a smile.

"I've been at the castle for too long and want to go back to the fiefdom to see my family. Morris explained.

"Isn't your fief in the west, what are you doing running south? Could it be that you want to go around your fief from the south?"

"Ryan, you'd better get out of the way for me now, or don't blame me for being rude. Maurice pulled out the long sword at his waist, not wanting to talk any more.

"Knight Morris, you'd better go back to the castle now, and fulfill the oath of allegiance you made yesterday in front of Master Donnie, there is only one knight left in the Gran Realm, don't force me to do it. Zhou Ming sincerely persuaded that he still didn't want to be so completely reimbursed for the only remaining high-end force in the Grand Collar.

"Stop talking nonsense, get out of here!" Maurice instigated his horse and rushed at him with his sword.

"Boom~"

However, before he reached Zhou Ming, the ground in front of Morris suddenly sunken, and Morris fell into the pit with his men and horses.

"Kill!"

More than a dozen thieves with crossbows in their hands rushed out together, first sprinkled a few handfuls of lime into the pit, and then took the penetrating crossbow machine, and fired dozens of crossbow bolts coated with venom at the Maurice knight in the pit.

"Puff puff!"

In this way, the only Maurice knight in the Gran Collar who was decent in Zhou Ming's eyes, died in the pit with his eyes wide open and unwillingly.

……

After disposing of Maurice and returning to the castle, Zhou Ming asked the snake girl to tighten the restrictions on Madame Madeleine's activities, and cut off all possibilities for external communication.

At this time, Baron Connor was also about to run out of oil, and the time he spent awake every day was even less than half an hour, and it was decreasing every day.

Zhou Ming had to hurry up, and together with Donnie, after some discussion, on a blank roll of parchment, he drafted a will for the inheritance of the territory.

"Lord Baron, the Gran Territory can't be without a lord for a day, you are about to die, please sign this will and give the territory to Master Donnie. ”

Zhou Ming, who knelt on one knee on the side of the bed and held a will in his hand, said earnestly to Baron Connor, who was not yet conscious.

Hearing this, Baron Connor's eyes snapped open, shooting out a terrifying light that was terrifying.

But this light is just a reflection of the light before the arrival of death, Baron Connor also realized this, his hand trembled slightly and took the quill pen handed to him by Zhou Ming, and the note was clear, and he signed his name on the will.

"Rai... Ryan. ”

"Yes, I'm here. Hearing Baron Connor shouting to himself, Zhou Ming hurriedly stepped forward and leaned his ear over.

"Ryan, G... Gran Collar, it's yours, please... Please...... Don't hurt again... If you hurt Donnie, it's like... My last request, can you answer... Promise me?"

Baron Connor's intermittent words, although the voice was as weak as a mosquito, clearly reached Zhou Ming's ears.

Zhou Ming's face was shocked and incredulous.

Although Baron Connor has hardly left the hospital bed for more than three months, he has already seen through all this in his heart.

Even, after perceiving Zhou Ming's true purpose, he who had been noble all his life, actually used the word "ask".

"Yes, Lord Baron, I want you to promise!" Zhou Ming nodded and said.

"Good, good......" Baron Connor sighed, and as soon as his body relaxed, he passed away.

At this point, the small barony of the Gran Territory has completed the final handover of two generations of lords.
