Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Family Dispute

'Of course.' As I spoke, I handed over the fellow named Lange to Brad, and the young man took him into the courtyard and began to interrogate him, but he remained silent, and in the midst of this stalemate, a maid suddenly ran from outside.

'Young Master, please come over for a moment.'

Brad was puzzled for a while, and didn't know what was going on, but when he came to the maid, he saw the other party whispering a few words in his ear, and Brad's brows immediately furrowed.

'That's what Madame told you?'

The maid nodded, and Brad hesitated for a moment and sighed, saying, 'Okay, you can take the people away.'

When the maid heard this, she immediately gave Brad a slight salute, and then stepped forward to help the guy named Lange, and the other people present were shocked when they saw this, and they were about to step forward to stop them, but Brad waved his hand at everyone: 'Let her go!'

Although everyone was inexplicable, it could be seen that since the young master had said so, he had to step aside and let the maid take Lange out of the courtyard, and at this time, I saw Brad come to us and said helplessly: "I'm sorry to have frightened you, we will definitely investigate this matter and give you a satisfactory explanation, and we will definitely compensate you in full for the relevant losses."

I heard this and waved my hand: 'That's not necessary, we didn't lose anything valuable anyway, but it seems that the government will have to be more careful in the future.'

'This nature, this nature...,' Brad said with an embarrassed expression.

After a few more conversations and then we went our separate ways, and when I went back to my room, I met the princess who was waiting at the door, and I heard her whisper, 'What do you think?'

At first glance you may think that she is asking a baffling question, but I immediately understood in my heart what she meant: 'The Eight Achievements were instructed by the Lady Julia, otherwise a groom would have come to my room and steal a sword?' Now that the matter is revealed, I am afraid that Lange will confess her and everyone will tear her face and it will not look good, so I came forward to take people away, and the reason why Brad did not dare to speak out was probably because he was afraid that the matter would be publicized and affect the reputation of the family, but there is one thing I don't understand what they want to do by stealing my sword?'

The princess smiled faintly, "Have you ever heard of 'killing people with a knife?'"

'Why, could it be that they want to?'

Remember what they said at dinner? If I guessed correctly, the so-called 'accident' should be that someone tried to assassinate the Countess and his wife, but it was unsuccessful, and Lady Julia seemed to be convinced that the murderer was Brad, hoping to abolish his inheritance, but the Count of Maher seemed to have already seen through her scheme, so he always insisted that it was just an accident, and Lady Julia couldn't make a plan and made two plans, so she wanted to make a fuss with a few of us strangers who suddenly visited, and it was clear between the words that we were hired by Brad with bad intentions, However, the Count was still not fooled, and in order to get things done, they came up with such a trick, stealing your sword to cause trouble, and then bite back. The old routine of typical family infighting...'

'But.... Why did Lady Julia do that?' At this time, Ah Zi on the side asked with a surprised face.

'For the sake of the family's property?' How else could it be? At dinner I had heard people say that Lady Julia was bent on supporting her son John as heir, so the eldest son Brad, left by the earl's ex-wife, was undoubtedly a thorn in her side, a thorn in the flesh, and of course she had to pull it out soon.' At this time, Ellie on the side couldn't help but say, the little girl's face was full of disdain for this matter.

'Why, aren't they family?' Until this time, Ah Zi still seemed to feel a little unbelievable, but it was no wonder that the Doragon people originally attached great importance to family blood, and roommate was the most difficult for them to accept, not to mention that Ah Zi grew up in the countryside and obviously lacked understanding of the dangers of this world...

What about a family? In this era, even parents and siblings can be sold for profit, let alone stepmothers and stepsons... That's why we have to stop the Demon King's guy from fully awakening, so as not to further collapse the world..."The princess couldn't help but subconsciously clench her fists when she said this, her eyes were full of anxiety, and at that moment I only felt that my heart moved, and I wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a while, I finally swallowed the words back.

"Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us, everyone be more careful tonight, and when it dawns tomorrow, we will leave this place of right and wrong immediately." When the princess said this, they all nodded in agreement, and then went back to their rooms, and at last they were safe, and the next day I had just gotten up, and the maid came to inform us that breakfast was ready, and the four of us went with them to the diner-room, and when we got there, we found that Brad was already waiting for us.

"What happened last night was really a problem for you, if you don't mind, let's have breakfast together, right?" Seeing that the other party was enthusiastic, it was inconvenient for us to refuse, so we had to sit down immediately, not to mention that the breakfast was quite rich, after all, the rich people are different, it is no wonder that there are so many people in this world who do not hesitate to take risks for this money, and lose their conscience. During the banquet, Master Bled apologized to us for his crimes, but he didn't mention the result of last night's incident, and we basically tacitly understood it, so no one mentioned it. Suddenly, I felt something moving at my feet, and when I looked down, I saw a wolf dog squatting at my feet and wagging its tail and begging for mercy, as if it hadn't eaten yet.

'Larry, come here!' At this time, he only heard the call of Young Master Brad, and the dog immediately ran to his side obediently.

'Is this your dog?' I couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, it's called Harry, and it's a gift from my mother on my 10th birthday, and I've been with me for almost eight years, so it didn't scare you, did you?"

'No, it looks like it's just hungry...'

That's right, because I used to like to share my food with him, and over time the child got used to it, and even if he was fed by someone, he still liked to pester me whenever he had a meal.' Brad said and stroked Larry's head affectionately, and the little one seemed to feel his master's heart, and immediately rubbed it affectionately at Brad's feet.

Seeing this, the princess could not help but compliment, 'You have a good relationship.'

'Yes, it's the only one who has been with me all these years, especially when my mother just passed away, Larry and I are almost inseparable, it's almost like my brother...' Speaking of this, Brad couldn't help but look at Larry affectionately, and his heart was somewhat sad.

At this time, the people served the steaming ham, and Larry probably smelled the fragrance and immediately shouted excitedly, and Master Brad immediately laughed when he saw this: "Larry, don't be too rude in front of the guests.'" But no matter how much he tried to appease him, Larry never quieted down, and finally Brad had no choice but to cut the ham in half and hand it to Larry, and the little guy immediately took it in his mouth and began to feast on it, looking at its happy appearance, everyone at the table laughed.
