Because of her illness, Ness rarely leaves the manor, and can only contact her personal maid, In the end, he tells about Cruise's betrayal and the acceptance of Catherine as a knight of the inheritance, and Lady Elena is in high spirits, and repeatedly scolds Cruise for being a despicable villain, and even Ness clenches her little fists angrily, eager to beat Cruise.

Cruise has made another meritorious service, making Lear's image in the hearts of Lady Elena and Mother Ness, and becoming "Lear of integrity and courage".

After dinner, Humphrey asked the servants to leave, and the four of them drank tea while discussing the matter of taking over the earl. Both Lady Elena and Ness already knew about the fake Lear, so Humphrey didn't let the two go.

Humphrey said slowly while thinking, "Tomorrow you go to Port Lear, you don't wear makeup, just wear ordinary clothes and a hat to cover your face." Old Hans saw you last year and would have recognized you, but if you wear makeup, it's not good. I will send you to old Hans with my letter, but my most capable men have sent them, and most of them are inquiring about your house, and ...... Some people deal with other things, and it will take a while for them to come back. In the current state of affairs, I can't go to old Hans myself, it's really nerve-wracking. "He seems to be hiding something.

Lear said, "You don't have to think so carefully, just send us someone old Hans knew, and I've got Catherine and Susan by my side, and they're good enough for any situation." ”

Humphrey shook his head and vetoed: "No, Catherine and Susan can't leave the manor for the time being. The Flare Mercenary Regiment has been embroiled in the struggle between Hohenzollern and the other families, and their departure may cause change. "He didn't say something in his heart - when you went to refine the medicine, I had already sent someone to assassinate the other members of the Flame Mercenary Group, how could I possibly let these two people leave.

Lear then woke up: "You mean, Miss Audrena is the heiress of the Hohenzollern family? ”

Humphrey looked at him and smiled bitterly: "I really don't know what you've been doing all day, saying that your research on magic has delayed swordsmanship, but you can't even remember Hohenzollern's family coat of arms." In short, don't expose Catherine and Susan until you become Earl of Lear, unless I get the exact news that the struggle between the two sides is over. ”

Lear frowned and said, "Then just send a swordsman to protect me and go to old Hans." ”

Humphrey said, "Of course I have swordsmen at my disposal, but they are not familiar with old Hans, and this kind of matter is very delicate, and it must be done by someone who can be trusted by both sides." If the swordsman who is familiar with old Hans doesn't come back tomorrow, I'll ask Thorn, the butler, to take you there, and that's all right. ”

The butler of the orthodox aristocracy is usually a distant relative of the owner or a well-educated down-and-out nobleman, equivalent to half of the head of the family, who has to cooperate with the hostess to handle most of the affairs of the family, and is an indispensable member of the aristocratic family.

Thorne was a distant relative of Humphrey, in his early forties, shrewd and capable, and had served the Humphrey family for many years. But the housekeeper has too many affairs to manage, and without the housekeeper to command more than 200 people, the Humphrey family will inevitably be in chaos.

At this moment, Ness suddenly plucked up her courage and said with a red face, "Father, I think I can take Brother Lear to Grandpa Hans, Grandpa Hans gave me a delicate vase a month ago, and I can use the excuse to return the favor and let Brother Lear see him." ”

Humphrey's eyes lit up, but then he refused: "No, there is a certain danger in this matter, you are sick, and it is not suitable to go out rashly." ”

Lady Elena gently shook the fragrant wood fan and said, "My lord, don't forget, now no one knows that the real Lear has returned except us. As long as Lear is not recognized, he is safe. ”

Humphrey said, "Of course I know that, but Ness is not in good health and must not go. ”

Lear suddenly said, "Uncle Humphrey, I don't know if my father told you about it, but I was addicted to ancient books for a while. ”

Humphrey smiled and said, "It's not true, it's just that you ruined man bought a lot of fake antiques and fake magic items." ”

Lear blushed and said, "Actually, I was there to study magic." I've seen some of the symptoms in an old book that are somewhat similar to Ness's condition, and I want to examine Ness's body carefully, maybe the treatment mentioned above will work. ”

Humphrey sighed and said, "I can understand your feelings, but even the cardinal can't cure ......" At this time, Lady Elena suddenly glared at him, and he quickly changed his words, "It's definitely not a disease, it's just that your health is too poor." If you want to help, you can check it out. ”

Ness, however, smiled and said to Lady Elena, "Mother, don't blame Father, I know my situation best. She turned to Lear again and said, "Brother Lear, I know you have good intentions, but ...... I really don't need to be cured. ”

Mrs. Elena held her daughter's hand, her eyes red. How could Ness not want to be cured, but she just knew that there was no way to cure it, and she didn't want her parents to continue to worry about it. The more sensible Ness is, the more Lady Elena, as a mother, feels sorry for her.

Lear stubbornly walked up to her and said, "Let me see, stick out your tongue!"

Ness looked at his clear gaze, her face was slightly hot, she closed her eyes, and carefully stuck out her little tongue, looking extremely cute.

Lear sighed in his heart, Ness was twelve years old, but her body was very thin, and she looked like she was only ten years old. He faked the appearance of examining Ness's tongue and pupils, and sat back on the couch, lost in thought, but was actually communicating with the sword.

Shi Jian said: "I guessed correctly just now, she is not sick at all, but a special physique. This world is made up of elemental aura, but her physique's ability to absorb elemental aura is very low, so she is destined to live short. However, her physique is suitable for absorbing Yuan Li aura, and it is easy to save her. ”
