Monica's heart was pounding, she watched James walk towards her step by step, unconsciously took a step, ready to meet James's warm embrace, happiness has never been so close.

"Dear Monica, allow me to welcome you back to Locke Manor." James stepped forward and took a pair of white and slender hands, and said in a sincere tone.

But everyone present was surprised, because James was holding the hand of Mavis who was standing next to Bruce, and even Mavis herself was surprised.

"I, I'm Monica?" Mavis said with wide eyes as she glared at James in front of her.

"That's right, I'm absolutely not mistaken, when my eyesight recovered that day, I saw you like an angel at a glance, and such beauty really matched your noble heart." James said excitedly, and bent down to kiss the back of Mavis's hand, but Mavis quickly pulled back.

"What the hell is going on with Mavis?" Bruce asked, looking at Mavis and frowning.

"I did, but I'm not Monica, that's my sister." Mavis took a step back, and she hurriedly pushed the stunned Monica in front of James.

"Whew, what is this?" James was also blinded by the situation in front of him, he saw the beautiful Mavis pushing another woman forward, and when Monica looked up, she saw a person with a monster-like face through her hood, half of her face was like an ordinary woman, but the other half of her face was red, and the skin on her face was peeled off, naked in front of him, without eyelids to cover her eyeballs, staring at James in horror.

"Oh wow, monster." Not only James, but even the Locke soldiers behind him were frightened and retreated, only Sir Wayne did not make excessive moves because he had experienced too many things.

"James." Monica tried to smile in an attempt to soothe James's frightened mind, but her smile seemed to James more like a monster with teeth and claws.

"Fuck off, you monster, demon." James screamed and waved his hands, he retreated again and again, and when he hit Sir Wayne, he happened to touch the hilt of the sword on Sir Wayne's waist, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out violently.

"Scandium~~." The sword came out of its sheath with a loud sound, and Bruce hurriedly stepped forward to grab Monicala, and at the same time drew the sword from his waist.

"James, are you trying to break the agreement?" Bruce gripped his saber and stared at James across from him.

"Bastard, Bruce I knew you were a liar, she was the Monica I wanted, and you tried to deceive me with such a monster." Gripping his sword with a flushed face, James yelled at Bruce.

"Stop it, Lord Navy." Sir Wayne anxiously stepped forward to grab James, at this time they were all in Greenton, on Bruce's territory, and the mercenaries and Greenton soldiers heard the movement here and had begun to assemble.

"It's you who are deceived by your appearance, this is Monica who has always taken care of you, and this is her sister Mavis, if you sincerely thank Monica, you shouldn't be confused by her appearance." Bruce yells at James, a self-righteous guy who thinks he's cheating on him.

"Ha, your rhetoric won't impress me, I won't leave with this monster, let's let her stay in this rotten place! I think she's a good match for you. James sneered and returned the sword to Sir Wayne, who glanced at Monica with a sad face, and felt sick again.

"No, no, that's not true." Monica collapsed to the ground, she wrapped herself tightly in her hood, James's sweet words in the past seemed to still linger in her ears, and now the words as sharp as a sword seemed to pierce her heart.

"If you don't want to take her away, why hurt people, now I order you to leave as Lord Greenton." Bruce stuck his sword on the ground, he was disgusted with James, a pompous and hypocritical guy, although he didn't know what happened between James and Monica, but Monica was indeed the one who had always taken care of him, and when he saw Monica's ugly appearance, he didn't feel any gratitude, and kept cursing monsters.

"I don't need to say it, I want to get out of here too, phew." James spat at the mouth, and was about to turn away when Mavis stopped him.

"Please wait a minute." Mavis walked past Bruce and Monica, who had a nervous breakdown, and James and Sir Wayne looked at her curiously, wondering what the beautiful maid wanted to do.

"Mavis?" Anne and the others looked at Mavis who was walking towards James, wondering what she was going to do?

Mavis walked up to James, she smiled charmingly, as if the winter sun was warming people's hearts, she reached out and took off the turban on her head, her golden hair fell like a waterfall on her shoulders, and the breathtaking beauty made Sir Wayne stand still like a sculpture.

"Wave~." Suddenly, Mavis stepped forward and hugged James and kissed him on the lips, the mellow and sweet kiss made James feel like he was in a dream.

"No~~." Seeing this scene, Monica suddenly stood up and wanted to pounce on James, her eyes were wide open, and she looked crazy, and Bruce hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her.

"Monica is calm, this kind of scum is not worth your anger for him." Bruce whispered in Monica's ear.

"Ah, beautiful goddess, I don't know who you are, it's Monica or Mavis, I must welcome you back to Locke Manor." James came to his senses, and he tried to grab Mavis's hand, but Mavis giggled and slid past him like a loach.

"That's enough, it's time for you to go." Bruce gave the eviction order again, and Sir Wayne reacted and hurriedly pulled James away.

"No, don't leave me Jeffes, you can't go like this." Monica struggled to break free of Bruce, and she stepped forward and grabbed the corner of James' coat, shaking her head at him.

"Get out of the way." James tugged at the corners of his coat in disgust, he didn't want to see this ugly and terrible face for a moment.

"No, it's okay if you're leaving, but for my sake, be sure to kiss me." Monica begged James bitterly, such a humble begging that even Eve and the others couldn't stand it.

"Haha, it's ridiculous, I'd rather die than kiss you." James laughed at breaking free from Monica's entanglement, and he couldn't wait to get on his horse and drive away, but before leaving, he kissed Mavis, who had been watching coldly, and promised that he would pay to buy her back from Grington when he returned to Locke Manor.

"No, no." Monica heard that James would rather die than kiss herself, and tears wet her face and dripped down her chin into the dirt.

"Monica, don't be sad anymore, this kind of scum is not for you." Bruce also feels sad when he looks at the heartbroken Monica, who is a swamp witch but has always been kind unlike Mavis.

"Hey, hey, hey." Just as Bruce wanted Anne and Eve to comfort Monica, she heard Monica let out a low laugh, she stood up and put on her hood again, looked at James's departing back, turned and slowly walked towards the Lord's house.

"Anne follow, don't let anything happen." Bruce frowned, and he immediately ordered Anne to take care of Monica.

Mavis didn't try to comfort her sister from start to finish, and her act of kissing James added fuel to the fire, Bruce glared at her in disgust, but Mavis didn't seem to care.

"Mavis, the pigsty lacks a helper, and I order you to help." Bruce ordered Mavis.

"What? Let me go to the pigsty to help? Mavis protested, but Bruce wouldn't let her resist.

James and Sir Wayne rode away from Grington and galloped towards Locke Manor, complaining to Sir Wayne about what had happened to him and vowing to make Bruce pay for it.

"Enough is Lord James, he must be your brother." Hearing that James was still unrelenting to Bruce, Sir Wayne, who had been silent, couldn't help but persuade.

"He completely humiliated me, and you can see how he deceived me with a monster in public." James's persuasion of Sir Wayne fell on deaf ears, and he had never suffered such a humiliation since he was a child, not only was his army defeated, but he himself became a prisoner.

Looking at the annoyed James, Sir Wayne could only shake his head silently in his heart, this time the fratricidal has made Locke Manor very angry, although the Duke of Bemessey came to the rescue, but it was not gratuitous, and even the Duke saw the weakness of Locke Manor from this incident, which is what worries Sir Wayne.

"Look, there's my manor up ahead, I'm going to take a shower and arrange a party for me, damn bruce stinks all over my body." James saw the roof of Locke Manor looming in the forest, and said excitedly to Sir Wayne.

"I'll tell the servants to do it." Sir Wayne nodded.

At the gate of Locke Manor, unexpectedly, the Duke of Bemessi and his female companion were there to greet him, and when James saw the Duke appear at the gate, he immediately kicked his mount with his heel in excitement.

"Ah, lucky baron." Duke Bermessi looked at James galloping on horseback and said with a laugh.

"Oh, my most respectful, dearest ~~, uh, cough, cough, cough." James acted as if he had returned not from being captured, but from a great victory, but just as he was smiling and preparing to respond to the Duke with the most graceful act, he suddenly felt as if a foreign object had been blocked in his throat, and he had to cough, but coughed and coughed a ball of blood spurting from his mouth and nose, and then fell from his horse in the dark.

"James."

"Lord Baron."

Seeing James fall from his horse, Sir Wayne and Duke Bemessey were very surprised, and they hurriedly stepped forward to the place where James fell, Sir Wayne jumped off the horse and reached out to help James up, only to see purple and black blood flowing from James's mouth and nose.

"Is he dead?" Duke Bemessi looked at the pale James and asked in surprise.

"No breathing." Surprised, Sir Wayne reached out and touched James's nose and mouth, and found that he was no longer breathing, and his body was becoming cold at a clear and palpable rate.
