Monica shouted out the anger that had been suppressed in her heart, and Mavis was stunned when she heard it, she didn't expect that her sister, who was always obedient and gentle, would actually yell at her for a man.

"I'm going to kill that bastard baron." Mavis's face was as cold as ice, and she lifted the wide skirt and prepared to leave the house for the warehouse, where she could kill James invisibly.

"Nope." Monica, of course, knew her sister's methods, and she hurriedly stopped in front of Mavis with an arrow.

"Get out of the way, you've been bewitched by the bad guys, just kill him and you'll be back to normal." Mavis tries to push Monica away, but Monica stops her.

"James, he's not a bad guy, he's the only man who is willing to praise and marry me, I'm not going to let you hurt him, if he gets hurt in any way, you know what I'm going to do." Monica said threateningly to her sister, much to Mavis's surprise.

Unaware of the Swamp Witch Sisters' argument at this time, Bruce rose from his seat and raised his glass to the Duke Emissary sitting on his left.

"Dear lord, I hope you can correctly convey what happened, Greenton was forced to defend himself and fight back, and James did what he did at his own peril." Bruce then toasted and conveyed his thoughts to the messenger, trying to make the Duke understand Glinton's situation.

"I see, I'll tell the Duke what happened here." The messenger also quickly stood up, and he held the wine glass and said to Bruce sincerely.

Bruce was satisfied with the ale in the glass, although this wine was slightly bitter, but the ale was very suitable for middle-level people, and the envoy also hurriedly drank his own wine, and the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became harmonious.

"Uh, Master Bruce, I have a request." When the messenger sensed that the atmosphere was just right, he turned his face to Bruce and said.

"Please." Bruce nodded.

"Allow me to visit Master James to make sure he's in good health." The messenger said to Bruce.

Bruce agrees to the messenger's offer, and the other party will pay a ransom to redeem James only if he is sure that he is in his hands.

Towards the end of the feast, the messenger was eager to visit James, and although Bruce was drunk, his mind was clear, and he agreed to the messenger to visit James, but arranged for Eve to follow him.

"Squeak." The door of the warehouse opened, James was asleep, he heard the sound and quickly turned over to look at the door, a blurred shadow swaying in front of him.

"Lord James?" Looking at James lying on the wooden bed covered with hay, the messenger didn't believe his eyes, he had always seen James attached great importance to his dress and appearance, but now James's beard was messily entangled, he was only wearing an undershirt, and his body was covered with hay, completely like a farmer.

"You, who are you?" James asked hesitantly.

"Lord Navy, I am Lord Duke's messenger."

"Oh, is it Lord Duke of Bemessi? Great, he hasn't forgotten about me yet. James sat up happily, and he finally waited for someone to save him.

"Yes, I'm relieved to see you're safe and sound." The messenger saw that although James was very embarrassed, he seemed to be in good spirits, and his heart was finally relieved.

"Please let Sir Wayne prepare the ransom as soon as possible, I don't want to stay here for a day." James said to the messenger.

"Rest assured, Sir Wayne has prepared the ransom, and they will deliver it as soon as I return to Locke Manor." The messenger assured James again.

"Then, I have one more condition, which I hope can be added to the terms of the peace talks." James listened to the messenger's words and finally let go of his hanging heart, the average noble captives will not be abused, as long as they are guaranteed with honor, they can wait for the family to send a ransom, but James personally felt the threat of Bruce, and the once weak brother really wanted to kill him.

"Conditions?" The messenger was puzzled when he heard this, not knowing what kind of conditions James would offer.

Early the next morning, Bruce was silent after listening to Eve's report, in fact, he didn't know why James made such a request, so he asked Eve to find Mavis.

"Don't you have anything to tell me?" Bruce sat in a wooden chair as he looked at Mavis in front of him and asked her.

"Tell what?" Mavis's eyes rolled twice, and she said with an innocent expression.

"What's the matter with your sister Monica? Why, James asked to take her away. Bruce looked at Mavis and asked her.

Eve returns and tells Bruce that James has asked the messenger to add to the proposed condition that Monica must be taken with him, which makes Bruce very surprised, could it be that James knows the identity of the swamp witch and tries to threaten himself with it?

"He said that?" Listening to Bruce's words, Mavis was shocked, she didn't expect James to really fulfill her promise, she hesitated a little when she thought of this, since she was a child, Monica had low self-esteem about her ugly appearance, almost no man dared to approach her, although Mavis often teased her sister, but she still hoped that she could find her happiness.

"Yes."

"Then I'll tell you, don't be angry." Mavis grimaced, took two steps forward and said to Bruce.

"Say it." Bruce was also curious at this time, Monica's appearance was simply shocking, but James actually said that he would take her.

Mavis told him about Monica and James, and Bruce was surprised to hear it, but he didn't expect Monica to have feelings for each other.

"What are you going to do?" Mavis looked at Bruce after finishing speaking, after the Battle of Glinton, although Bruce was very young, everyone no longer regarded him as a young man, even a witch like Mavis who didn't put the status of a nobleman in her eyes at all, she also looked at Bruce differently.

"If they really love each other, I don't seem to have any reason to stop them." Bruce smiled bitterly, he really didn't want to be a bad guy who beat mandarin ducks, although James's bastard himself hated to kill him, but thinking that Monica had saved his life, he still decided to do it.

Monica was overjoyed when Mavis brought Bruce's words to Monica, she and Mavis were nominally Bruce's maids, and their marriage in Glinton's land, whether it was a retainer, servant, or serf, had to be approved and blessed by the lord.

"Thank you, Lord Bruce, for me." Monica had changed her black hood and put on a dress that Mavis had found for her, but the half of her crimson skinned face was still terrifying, and Mavis smiled at her reluctantly.
