The rising sun shone the warm rays of sunlight and gradually woke up Raldry.

The first civilians to learn of Warren's victory have returned today.

In fact, there were people guarding the gates of the city last night, and the moment the gates of Lerdrie opened, they rushed in to return to their homes.

Mary stood in the morning sun, looking at the delighted civilians, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

She loves to see it.

But she also knew what was hidden under such a sight.

Ill-intentioned help. faction elements.

A person of the genre who is secretive.

And the most hated spies.

Mary, however, doesn't choke on food.

"Enthrone all those who enter the city."

"Their names, addresses, and family members should be recorded in detail."

Mary commanded.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The clerk next to him bowed down and acted quickly.

After the clerk left, Mary walked down the walls, boarded the carriage, and returned to the palace of King Warren.

In the morning, she needed to go to the kitchen.

……

Qin Ran slowly approached Adal's room, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock.

"Come in."

After a rhythmic knock at the door came the loud voice of the old earl.

However, when he saw that the person who pushed the door in was Qin Ran, the old earl's brows immediately wrinkled, and displeasure appeared on his face.

Qin Ran saw such a look, but he didn't care.

He can't make everyone like.

It's not exhaustive.

He was able to do it and did his best to make the people he approved of live safely, and if he could be happy, it would be even better.

And the old earl in front of him?

Obviously, it doesn't belong to the people recognized by Qin Ran.

Therefore, Qin Ran ignored the other party's expression, pulled out a chair on one side, and sat opposite the other party, with a dining table in between.

On the table was the old earl's breakfast.

Touch the honey, bake until golden bread slices, fragrant milk, and a serving of vegetables.

No eggs, no meat.

It's very much in line with the other party's age.

"I didn't invite you to sit down."

The old earl took the milk, took a sip, and said very politely.

"I don't need an invitation from you."

"You're not the master here."

Qin Ran said slowly.

"Neither are you."

The old earl sneered.

"But I have at least no ill will towards the owner here."

Qin Ran still said slowly.

"Malice?"

"I don't either, and besides, the master you call here is not the real master, but the real master here is still my friend James."

"She's still early."

A sneer appeared on the old earl's face.

"It's not early, it's going to be soon."

Qin Ran replied in an unchanged tone

Bang!

The old earl laid the milk cup heavily on the table, and the knives and forks on the table stirred back and forth, making a metallic crunch.

The resentful gaze stabbed at Qin Ran like a long sword.

Obviously, if the gaze could kill, Qin Ran would have been broken into thousands of pieces.

But that's not possible.

The old earl did not have such ability, nor did he have such strength.

In the end, he could only withdraw his gaze and continue to drink the milk, the kind that gulped heavily, and the old earl kept chewing as if he was biting the flesh and blood of the hateful man in front of him.

As for the rebuttal?

He had examined the body of his friend, and the court doctor had examined it.

Perennial overwork has become a disease, and the body has long been hollowed out.

Exhaustion was not only the reason for the crushing of James VIII, but also the murderer who took the life of His Majesty.

What Qin Ran said was the truth, and he had no way to refute it.

But it was precisely because of this that he felt that Qin Ran was even more hateful.

"James, who has put the whole country in you, ought to see what you look like now."

The old earl said.

This is what James VIII revealed during yesterday's conversation, and Qin Ran had received a detailed conversation process from the high-ranking evil spirit 'Bloody Mary'.

However, that doesn't mean he'll admit it.

"He gave Mary his sustenance."

"Not me."

Qin Ran emphasized.

"Mary?"

The old earl frowned again, and his tone was sarcastic.

When mentioning the underage princess, the old earl always had congenital discrimination, Qin Ran didn't like this feeling very much, not only as a friend of Mary, he didn't want to see such discrimination and prejudice, but also because of such discrimination and prejudice, it would always make him think of the extremely unpleasant experiences he had experienced.

So, next, Qin Ran's words became cold.

"Put away your face now."

"You should know who you're sitting here with a nice breakfast."

"You should thank Mary for her kindness."

"If it weren't for her, your corpse would have been in the gutter long ago."

The words were like knives, and they stabbed the old earl fiercely.

It was like a cold wind that made the old earl shiver.

The difference in strength, even if Qin Ran only revealed a trace of breath, was not something that the other party could resist.

But more importantly, Qin Ran's words are still facts!

This old earl would never suspect Qin Ran's ruthlessness!

There was never any doubt that Qin Ran would kill him without hesitation!

He was alive because of Mary, an indisputable fact and the most painful thing for him.

He was saved by the person he despised and despised the most.

This fact made the old earl extremely uncomfortable.

Whew, swoop.

The sound of heavy breathing sounded, and the old earl's face was flushed, and his chest kept rising and falling, making anyone who saw it guess whether the other party would explode in the next moment.

"Now you have a chance to pay it back."

"I want to know the secrets of Warren Palace."

"Something very unpleasant happened last night, someone pretended to be an ape or a snake and entered the palace of King Warren, looking for something."

"I don't know much about Warren Palace, and I don't want to find it any other way, so I'd like you to let me know."

Qin Ran truthfully informed the old earl about what happened last night.

"Someone pretending to be an ape or a snake?"

"The Secret ...... of Warren Palace"

"Could it be?!"

The old earl was stunned for a moment, his face was puzzled at first, and then the old earl frowned when he thought of something.

Far worse than any previous frown, the brows on both sides seemed to be locked together.

For two minutes, the old earl did not say a word.

Qin Ran didn't urge.

He had enough patience to wait.

Before he came to find the old earl, he had already thought of all the countermeasures.

And now it looks?

It's still very good.

The other party did not refuse, this is what Qin Ran wanted to see.

After a few more minutes, the old earl took a deep breath and made a decision.

"I can tell you the secret!"

"But you can't disturb James, and you can't destroy Warren's palace!"

The other party made its own demands.

"Of course."

Qin Ran nodded slowly.

"The secret is about ......"
