Arold stood in the secret room, the Duke of Burgundy seemed to sit on the chair casually, but in fact, on the inside of the dark wall of the secret room, dozens of soldiers were watching Arold's every move vigilantly, the heavily armed swordsman put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and the crossbowman aimed at Arold standing in the secret room, as long as he had the slightest strange move, he would become a humanoid hedgehog.

"Lord Duke, I am just an ordinary physician, and it is the honor of my life to be able to serve the honorable Lord Duke." Arold bowed to the Duke of Burgundy.

"Hmm." The Duke of Burgundy looked at the man standing in front of him, and although Arold was respectful, he could sense that Arold was always different.

"But." Arrod straightened up, revealing a hesitant expression.

"What's the problem?" The Duke of Burgundy asked.

"Our safety is not guaranteed, and we are not protected in the Duke's castle, which may not be conducive to the treatment of Her Royal Highness the Princess." Arold glanced at the Duke of Burgundy and said to the Duke.

"Don't worry, you are my guests, from now on I will do my best to protect your safety, anyone who threatens you is a threat to me." For the sake of his daughter, the Duke of Burgundy hurriedly assured Arold.

"Well, we're relieved." Arold smiled and thanked the duke.

"Ahem, well, as my guest, you are one of the few people who can enter the secret room." The Duke of Burgundy's face also smiled, and as long as Arrod was not a disadvantaged person, he signaled to the soldiers in the secret room, and the crossbowmen inside retreated.

The Duke of Burgundy's vault contained many scrolls, stamped with red wax seals, and sealed with top-secret documents, especially since the annexation of Lorraine to the Kingdom of East Francia. The Duke of Burgundy deliberately showed it to Arrode, in order to test Arrode's attitude. If Arold was a spy of a nobleman, it would be impossible not to be tempted in the face of these top-secret documents, but it was a pity that Arold did not react at all, and the duke was relieved.

"Lord Duke, Lord Franx. What are you going to do with it? Arold said to the Duke of Burgundy.

"I heard the conversation between Mars and you, I'll take care of Franks." The Duke of Burgundy said.

"What? You even spied on us taking a shower? Arold's face turned green, and the Duke of Burgundy laughed when he saw Arrod, who was calm and comfortable in the face of danger, but he cared so much about this kind of thing.

The Duke walked to a corner of the chamber and lifted the brown woolen printed curtain, only to see a row of brass pipes with flares hidden behind the curtain, which was clearly a primitive eavesdropping pipe.

"From here I can tell that the people in the castle are disloyal to me." The Duke of Burgundy said proudly to Arrod.

"This." Arjod thought to himself, Duke, your hobbies are too strange.

The Duke of Burgundy immediately arrested Professor Mars after talking to Arrode's Secret Room. The professor seemed to have a premonition of something, and he sat in his room, dressed in the splendid dress of the Italian nobility, waiting for the duke's guards to catch him.

"Professor Mars, what happened to my daughter? I hope you can tell me the truth. The Duke of Burgundy said to Professor Mars in the dungeon, where the black-hooded executioner stood behind Mars, who held a sharp torture instrument in his hand, and Professor Mars was hanging in the middle of the dungeon, his face blue and purple. His naked upper body was covered with whip marks.

"If I tell you, will I be able to get my freedom back?" Professor Mars struggled to open his eyes. The right eye, which was swollen like a peach, was beaten, and he said to the duke.

"Are you negotiating terms with me?" The Duke of Burgundy smiled, and he walked to the side of the wooden table, on which was a row of various torture instruments, and when the duke's hand slashed, the torture instruments made a crisp sound.

"Whew." Professor Mars let out a snort. He didn't know what the Duke's decision was, but he did have his life hanging by a thread.

Mars did not want to be a test subject for the Duke's torture instruments, nor did he want to rot in the dungeons of Burgundy, so he finally told the Duke what had happened, and it turned out that Franks was a guest in Florence. Mixed in the fat powder pile of Florence, infected with willow disease, although it was cured, but the medical skills of this era can only be temporarily suppressed, not completely cured, and finally infected to the princess of Burgundy.

"I see." When the Duke of Burgundy heard this, his face turned terribly pale, and it turned out that the suffering of his daughter was due to this son-in-law's troubled private life.

"Lord Duke, do you need us to formally arrest Francis?" The general of the Duke of Burgundy asked.

"No, there's no need for this, go and take Green. Noyce called. The Duke of Burgundy said to his men with a gloomy face.

"Green. Lord Noyce? The general was slightly surprised, but bowed to the duke and left.

"Green. Noyce? Mars's body trembled involuntarily when he heard this name, which was the name of the chief spy of the Duke of Burgundy, and when the people heard this name in the Duchy of Burgundy, they would close the door and pray to God.

Although Francis set fire to the castle in an attempt to kill Arrod and others, as the duke's son-in-law, he was only placed under house arrest for a few days. He was so bored drinking in his room that he saw no one but two servants, and just when Francis thought he was going to be confined to this room from now on, the Duke suddenly removed the guard at the door.

"What's wrong?" Francis asked, drunkenly obscure.

"My lord, it seems that the Duke's guards have left." The servant looked out the door and said to Francis.

"So I'm free?" Francis, in good spirits, stood up, and it seemed that Mars had not betrayed himself.

"What are you doing here, sir?" The servant looked at the energetic Francis and asked curiously.

"Prepare me with bathwater, I'm going to take a good shower, and then I'm going to hunt, I'm getting moldy in this room." Francis commanded the servants.

"However, my lord, the Duke of your crime has not been revoked, can you go to play with such fanfare?" The servant asked worriedly.

"I am the son-in-law of the Duke, the heir of the Count of Champagne, who can cure me without conclusive evidence?" Francis said proudly.

"It's Lord Francis." The servant had no choice but to go to the stable to prepare the horses and hounds for France.

Francis changed into a new attire, rode a white horse proudly, and the servant waited with several hounds, and just as he was about to set off, a maid walked up to Francis with a basket on her shoulder.

"Dear master, please bring some apples!" The maid handed the basket, which contained a few fresh apples, which Francis found baffled.

"Apples?" Francis frowned, and was about to refuse, when the maid had already leaned forward.

"Let's go." The maid bent down and placed the basket in front of Francis, and said in a very low voice.

"What?" Francis was puzzled by this, and was about to call the maid to ask for clarification, but the maid had already turned and left quickly.

"Master, shall we go?" Francis's servant asked him that the hounds had waited impatiently and barked wildly.

"Isn't that the duke's son-in-law? Released so soon? Harvey stood at the window of the princess's bedroom, and when she saw Francis, who was dressed in new clothes, she couldn't help but say to Arold dissatisfied.

"Bring the potion, I need to give the princess another shot today." Arjod didn't even raise his head, he knew very well that the Duke of Burgundy would not let Francis go, so there was no need to be angry.

"Aren't you angry, that bastard almost burned us, no, I'll do it myself~~." While Harvey was complaining, Arold raised his hand to stop her and pointed to his ear, indicating that they might be being monitored again.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is doing well, she will come to her senses at any time." Arold said as he gestured in sign language.

"Well, that's right, I wish the Duke could give me more money." Harvey replied in sign language, but with a different set of words.

"Wait and see." Arold said in sign language.

Francis felt that something was always wrong with the hunt today, and the warning of the maid on his horse kept circling in his mind, and even if his hound caught a deer without showing interest, the face of the Duke of Burgundy seemed to come to mind.

"Could it be that the Duke already knows." Francis only felt a chill in his back, and his heart beat wildly, what if Professor Mars betrayed him.

Thinking about it, Francis had no more leisure to hunt, and he suddenly felt that he was far away from the castle of the Duke of Burgundy, and his eyes turned to his mind, and he suddenly kicked his mount with his heel.

"Gray Law ~~~." The mount hissed, and the man stood up and carried Francis through the woods, and he fled in the direction of the territory of the Kingdom of West Francia, the territory of his father, the Count of Champagne.

"Lord Francis, Lord Francis." The servants who were holding sticks and shields to frighten the animals of the forest and drive them out, so that the nobles could hunt, looked at Francis in amazement, and they hurriedly pursued after him, but could not catch up with Francis on horseback.

"Huhu, I'm not going to wait for death." Francis was lying on horseback, he didn't care about running away, what duke son-in-law, what glory and wealth are not as important as small lives.

"Whoosh~~~." Just as he was about to see the border of the Duchy of Burgundy, there was an arrow from the side of the road that burst through the air and shot straight at Francis.

"Gray Law ~~~." Hearing the neighing of the mount, a flock of crows hovered over the forest, and the sound echoed above the forest for a long time. (To be continued.) )
