Chapter 50: The Secrets of the Royal Family
Under the watchful eyes of Mary, Adal, and Earl Shirin, James VIII entered the chamber with a squire, supported by a squire.
There was a rare hint of blush on James VIII's pale countenance, and although he needed to be supported as he walked, he seemed to be in good spirits.
"Father."
"Your Majesty."
Mary got up one after another.
The old earl stood up straight, gave up his chair to his friend, and after seeing his friend sit down, he said, "Is it because of what just happened?" ”
As he spoke, the old earl looked at the waiter with displeasure.
He knew his old friend's body well.
Therefore, he had repeatedly ordered that the court attendants should not be allowed to inform James of what had happened in Lördrie, and that if he had to say it, he would only pick out some good news to say.
"Don't blame him."
"I forced him to say it."
James VIII said slowly.
Then the king looked at Mary with loving eyes.
"Trust your decision."
"But also take responsibility for your own decisions, understand?"
James VIII said.
In just one sentence, His Majesty the King divided it into several times before he could say it completely.
"Understood."
Mary nodded earnestly.
It's not perfunctory, but really understood.
In fact, the underage princess has long been mentally prepared for the worst.
Looking at Mary who nodded, James VIII smiled, and then, he looked at Earl Shirin.
"Your Excellency, I have some things to talk to Mary and Adal about alone."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The young earl saluted, then turned and left the chamber.
The waiter hurriedly saluted and was about to leave, but was stopped by James VIII.
The old earl glanced at the waiter in astonishment.
He was under the impression that no one but Turner could enjoy such trust.
Mary was equally surprised.
But the underage princess didn't ask too much, she believed that her father must have his own reasons for doing this.
James VIII took the initiative to explain.
"He will serve Mary in the place of Turner."
The old king pointed to the attendant, who saluted Mary again.
The old earl nodded thoughtfully.
He knows a little about the process of cultivating talents in the royal family.
Aside from all factors such as ability, loyalty comes first.
And the other party can replace that Turner, so he is naturally a completely reassuring person.
Even, to some extent, the future other party will be far closer to Mary than him.
After all, some of the secret things of the Warren royal family that cannot be told to others need to be handled by this court attendant.
Call!
Thinking of this, the old earl took a deep breath and nodded solemnly to the other party as a gesture.
No jealousy, no resentment.
The old earl was well aware of his identity and ...... Age.
If you are ten years younger!
He will definitely do his best to fight for this position.
And now?
He just wanted to assist Mary as much as he could, so that the underage girl could understand more.
Perhaps, a little outdated.
But that's all he knows.
The waiter looked at the old earl, as if flattered, and once again formally saluted the old earl, in response.
Looking at the friendly scene of his friend, his daughter, and his attendant, the old king smiled with relief.
Then, he retracted his smile.
"Adal, it's time to tell Mary something."
"As a father, I'm not qualified enough."
"I'm not qualified to be a king."
"I can say that I am a complete failure, I can't tell her all this, and I don't have the shame to mention all this, so please help me say it."
The old king spoke as calmly as he could.
But everyone present heard the trembling of each other's voices.
The old earl raised his hand and placed it on his friend's shoulder, giving him a firm look.
"Everything is with me."
After the old earl said this, he paused for a moment, as if he was summarizing and considering his words, and only after about ten seconds did the old earl speak again.
"The Warren royal family has been hiding a secret."
"The last place where the dragon faction appeared in people's eyes was the Warren Palace, which many people know, and it is a secret that is not a secret."
"But the real secret is ......"
"The real secret?"
"I think our previous conversation was very pleasant and frank."
The old earl's words were interrupted.
Qin Ran, with a proud face, walked out of the shadows.
Looking at Qin Ran who came out, the old earl was stunned for a moment, and then his face became red.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a shame.
But......
Wrath!
"I knew genres couldn't be trusted!"
"You're really peeking into the secrets of the Warren royal family!"
The old earl growled.
"Prejudice, it's terrible."
In an arrogant tone, 'Qin Ran' seemed to come to Mary slowly, and just blocked Mary behind her, completely separating her from James VIII and the attendant.
After doing all this, 'Qin Ran' continued.
"But there's one thing you're right, I'll admit it."
"Genre! A school of many factions and branches is really not credible. ”
"Because, they always use some little tricks to put on a botched show."
"It's disgusting to watch."
In such words, 'Qin Ran' looked at the waiter with a little disdain.
The underage princess thought about it when 'Qin Ran' stood in front of her, and after hearing 'Qin Ran''s words at this moment, she quickly pulled the old earl to her side.
The old earl staggered to Mary's side, the old earl was not stupid.
Just like Qin Ran said, in the twenty years in the south, even if he is an idiot, he will become a completely smart person.
What's more, the old earl himself was a smart man.
Problematic!
There's something wrong with that waiter!
The old earl looked at the waiter standing beside his old friend, his eyes were full of anxiety and worry, but he didn't say anything, he knew what he should do at this time.
"Ugh."
"There's really no way."
"I would have liked to ask what I wanted to know in a softer way, but unfortunately, he was already delirious, and even with the support of my secret medicine, it was only a drop in the bucket."
"Therefore, I have to go to great lengths to hope that I know what I want to know through the mouth of this Earl of Aydal."
"But ......"
"There was another accident."
The waiter sighed suddenly.
He stared at 'Qin Ran' and said word by word.
"Do the white wolves of the wolf faction always love so much nosy?"
"So, you wouldn't mind talking to me in another place, would you?"
"Or ......"
"Are you going to join me here to hear the secrets of the Warren royal family?"
The waiter gave the 'Qin Ran' choice.
He waited for 'Qin Ran''s answer.
He believed that Qin Ran was a smart person and would definitely choose the most suitable option.
What a bargain it is to get the secrets of the Warren royal family at no cost, so why not?
Unfortunately, at all times, reality is always the opposite of imagination.
As soon as his words fell, he saw that the corners of 'Qin Ran''s mouth were slightly upturned, and the contempt and ridicule in his eyes almost turned into substance.
