Chapter 040: First Viscount: Matthew

Fourteen days earlier, the day Belia and her guide Matthew had been separated in the Forest of Turin.

First Viscount's House.

The First Viscount's Mansion is the residence of the eldest son of the old earl, and as a symbol of the Titus family, the courtyard of the eldest son's mansion is naturally planted with wind and rain flowers. At this time, there had just been an autumn rain, and a strong wind blew, and although the wind and rain swayed in the wind and rain, they never withered, but bloomed enthusiastically, just like the spirit of the Titus family, fearless and tenacious.

The eldest son of the Count of Titus the Elder, the 49-year-old First Viscount of Savoy and the eldest brother of Belea, Matthew. Titus walks on the path of the garden, where he admires the flowers.

At this time, a wind and rain flower withered in the wind, swaying and falling on Matthew's palm. Matthew looked at the flower in his hand, admired its beauty, and couldn't help but show a smile, and then closed his five fingers and ravaged this falling flower to pieces!

A middle-aged man dressed as a guard stumbled in, his expression uneasy and his eyes full of panic and fear. He faced Matthew, but his eyes couldn't help but glance to the side, as if he didn't dare to look directly at the viscount.

"Matthew, how is the matter entrusted to you?"

This is an elegant, thick, and calm voice, and the words seem to be full of intimate magic, just listening to it makes people feel good, and such a beautiful voice, when spoken from the mouth of this solemn-looking and elegant viscount, it is easier to make others trust.

That's right, the middle-aged man in front of me who stumbled into the First Viscount's Mansion was Matthew, he was Belea's guide in the Forest of Turin, and the guard in charge of her safety, but he didn't disappear, but appeared here.

Listening to such a gentle and kind voice, Matthew knelt down softly, as if Matthew, who spoke to him, was a devil dressed in the skin of a kind man. He replied tremblingly, "They... They were killed by goblins and... The wolf pack of the forest one-horned wolf... Siege, Belea... The guards around the princess are successively... Die. Only I was in advance... Escaped. ”

Matthew frowned slightly, and asked again, "Then have you witnessed the 'bizarre death' of the little princess?" ”

"No... No. ”

Matthew listened, and once again a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Then why don't you take matters into your own hands?"

Matthew shuddered and replied, "Because... Because I think that the little princess is being chased by wolves, no... It's impossible to survive. ”

Matthew shook his head and said, "Since her death can't be confirmed, then the matter has not been done well, Matthew, how do you think I should punish you?" ”

Shocked, he crawled to Matthew on his knees and shouted, "Lord Viscount! Please! Please! Don't punish my wife and children! They are innocent! ”

When he heard the word "viscount", a trace of imperceptible killing intent flashed in Matthew's eyes, and then he kicked Matthew away, and then snapped his fingers, and a cronie walked over. He bowed slightly and asked respectfully, "Your Excellency, what do you command?" ”

When he heard the word "earl", Matthew felt a little more comfortable. He asked, "What do you think, what about that woman?" ”

"Hmm... You mean, Mr. Matthew's wife? ”

"Yes."

"Hmm... A plump and graceful young woman, too... My goddess! ”

"So, what do you think of her?"

"I think any man who sees her can't help but want to taste her... Taste her... Flavor. I'm no exception. ”

As he said this, he unconsciously licked his lips, and his eyes became a little fascinated, and a strange bulge appeared under his crotch, apparently, just thinking about Madame Matthew's body was enough to provoke his normal physiological reaction as a man.

Matthew smiled cruelly and said, "From now until tomorrow, when the rooster crows, you can enjoy this ripe fruit of Lady Matthew... But remember, be sure to serve our Mrs. Matthew well, and it is best to feed her some spice-promoting tonic to add a lovely daughter or son to our Mr. Matthew. ”

When the cronie heard this, he was overjoyed, and then bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you very much, generous Earl! ”

Ma Tai was shocked, he kowtowed frantically, and begged: "Lord Viscount, please spare my wife!" I will never make this mistake again, I swear! ”

Matthew loved his wife dearly, but Matthew ignored him and continued to say to the cronie, "Now, go do what you have to do, and remember to find a few good friends and good things to share with everyone." ”

"Yes, Lord Count!"

The cronies were gone, but Matthew continued to kowtow, and the wound on his forehead grew bigger and bigger, and the blood was dripping, and in a short time it stained the marble under his feet red. But Matthew was still just admiring the flowers, unconcerned that the blood had spilled under his feet and dirty to the soles of his boots.

After letting the blood flow for a long time, Matthew suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "Matthew, it's just affection, your lady is widowed in a secret room, and she is already very lonely." I just sent a few people to accompany her to relieve her boredom, and you reacted so much. Shouldn't husbands think about their wives? Can you bear to bear the loneliness and loneliness of your wife alone? ”

Matthew kept his head down, but his hair covered his face and his expression of hatred. He listened to Matthew's pure teachings, and could only endure the humiliation, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth with all his strength:

"You're right."

Matthew lowered his head slightly, looked down at Matthew, who was as respectful as a slave, and said with a smile: "You still have a chance to make up for your mistakes now." ”

Matthew still lowered his head, lowered his eyebrows, and said, "Lord Earl, please speak." ”

Matthew said, "In three days' time, you will return to the Earl's Court, dressed and scarred. At that time, if someone asks you what happened, you answer like this..."

"The princess was attacked by the Assassins in the Forest of Turin, and all the guards were killed, but the princess was nowhere to be found, only you escaped and picked up the arrow."

After speaking, he took out a blood-stained arrow, and the shaft of the arrow made of hemlock wood was also engraved with the carved pattern of wind and rain flowers, which looked like it was made by fine workmanship.

"This is the third viscount's special arrow... Isn't that your youngest brother? ”

Matthew's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and then he kicked Matthew in the face and whispered, "From now on, don't let me hear the words 'brothers and sisters', or I'll kill you!" ”

It was the first time for Matthew to see the elegant and generous Matthew lose his demeanor like today, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, but his expression immediately returned to normal. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, spat out a broken front tooth, lowered his head, and said, "Lord Count, please continue." ”

Matthew quickly retracted his expression and said calmly, "If someone asks you what else you have found, you say that you smell the scent of golden rain flowers. ”

Matthew's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, the golden wind and rain flower is a mutated flower species of the wind and rain flower, known for its golden petals and delicate and fragile in the early stage of growth, and the survival rate is extremely low. However, once it has passed the stage of the highest mortality rate and grows into a mature crop, it will continue to bloom until the dead of winter, and at that time, people will enjoy the wind and rain flowers blooming in the snow.

Such a precious flower species is now planted in only two places in the country of Savoy, one is the Count's Palace, where the old Count is located.

And the second is the third viscount, Caesar. The Third Viscountate's Palace, where Titus is located.

The reason why Matthew instructed himself to do this was to blame Caesar!

He took the arrow from Matthew's hand, nodded, and said, "As you wish, Earl... My lord. ”

Matthew nodded, and said, "In order to ensure the success of the operation, you better dress up and get yourself a few real arrow wounds." After all, my father and my mother's own vassals and staff members are not fools. Don't let them see that you're lying. ”

Matthew's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, nodded with difficulty, and said, "Okay, I'll do it." ”

Matthew smiled and said, "Don't feel wronged, Mr. Matthew. Your wife and the lovely children are still living peacefully in the secret room, and your behavior determines how they are treated. All you have to do is convince my father that Caesar is the murderer of Princess Belea, and then I vouch for your personality that you will be reunited with your family. ”

Although Matthew was furious, he still suppressed that anger in the bottom of his heart. He knelt down in fear and said, "I won't let you down." ”

Matthew waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, do this well, and you will get everything you want." ”

Watching Matthew's hastily departing back fade into view, Matthew sighed. He grabbed a handful of hair, and in that handful of hair was half white in blonde hair.

He said slowly in a voice that he could only hear:

"I'm sorry, brother, sister. I'm 49 years old... I've been waiting for the Earldom for 31 years... I don't want to wait any longer. ”

……

"So you're saying that all the evidence now points to the fact that Caesar, the Third Viscount, was behind the murder of Belea?" Gaudos asked.

Don Quixote nodded and continued: "Yes, what is even more strange is that the princess disappeared in the Forest of Turin, but this matter actually spread in the city of Turin, and everyone is discussing this matter, and now even if Count Titus wants to deal with this incident coldly, it will be difficult to do so. ”

"So, what about Viscount Caesar?"

Don Quixote sighed: "Tomorrow, he will be hanged for murder." ”

Gaudus couldn't help but take a deep breath.

There is no doubt that Caesar was wronged.

And now it seems that the reason why Belia fell into the trap of the conspiracy is because the mastermind behind the scenes wants to use Belea's death to point the finger at Caesar and achieve the purpose of killing people with a knife.

But who would do that? And what is he doing it for?

Although he touched the truth of the first layer, behind this first layer of truth, there are still many mysteries, and only by uncovering this mystery can Gaudus understand the conspiracy behind the mystery.
