Volume 1 The Honorable Viscount Chapter 86 He's Not a Bad Guy
In the burgundy room, Anne pulled back the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, her expression was a little dazed, not because the injury had not yet recovered, but because Hoforth had an important task today.
It's not so much a mission, it's actually about killing, but it's just to sound glamorous, and everyone in the manor knows that Gough is ready to act, and the target is the awesome guy who broke the gate.
Anneway knew that Hofos was very strong, and at the same time, she knew that the other party was very kind, and when she returned to the manor, she was no longer a maid, and she was respected by many people.
She knew that it was all due to Hoforth, and that without him, Goff would not have been so talkative, and even gave himself a gift when the contract was terminated.
"Don't worry too much, it's just a small thing for me. β
Hofus was wearing a dark yellow warrior's uniform today, and he was trimming his beard in front of the large mirror, and his demeanor was extremely relaxed.
"Uncle Hoforth, are you really going to kill that man?" asked Anneway as she walked over to the other man's side.
"Perhaps, this is a task given to me by my lord, I heard that person is a villain, and he directly turned the castle upside down last time, but fortunately there are no dead people. β
"Uncle Hoforth, do you think that person is a bad person?" Anneway had never met Roque, but from the accounts of Pine and some of the warriors, she sketched an image of the other person, and she always felt that he was not a bad person.
Hearing the other man's words, Hofors's hand movement stopped, as if thinking, and it wasn't long before he spoke, "He's supposed to be an interesting person." β
"Are you going to kill him, then?"
"I have to carry out the tasks given by adults, and this is what a follower should do. Instead of giving a clear answer, Horfors spoke cautiously.
Anne lowered her head slightly and didn't speak, she knew that Hoforth would not change her decision, and her heart felt extremely heavy.
The ornate carriages drove slowly down the streets, and the pedestrians around them consciously avoided them, and the carriages of the castle were a deterrent, and they did not want to cause trouble for themselves.
Outside the manor, Goff was waiting with a group of warriors, his face calm, until he saw the carriage coming, and then smiled.
"Roark, welcome to you. β
As soon as he got out of the carriage, he heard Goff's voice in his ears, and Roque responded with a smile.
"Thank you for having me, Lord Baron. β
Gough stepped forward, smiling all the time, and he extended his hand in a friendly gesture that made the warriors around him change their expressions slightly.
"I thought you wouldn't come, I'm sorry for what happened last time, I hope it won't affect this visit. β
Roque hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out his hand, and finally chose to shake hands with the other party.
The actions of the two looked like old friends who had known each other for many years, and Felix on the side was a little unable to adapt, he knew Goff's purpose, and he was a little puzzled, was it necessary to treat the enemy like this.
Walking side by side with each other, the servants around him saluted when they saw it, and the warriors behind him followed with unconvinced expressions, and Roque felt like a distinguished guest.
"Roque, is my castle beautiful? It took me a lot of effort, and I have a lot of requirements for where I live, and I want the best for everything. β
"The castle is nice and you can see that you have put a lot of effort into decorating it. β
This time, instead of taking Roque to the training ground, Gough entered the castle, and he continued to act as a guide, constantly introducing the other party to what he saw.
Finally came to the living room, Roque was a little unaccustomed to the chairs here, a bit like a chaise longue, and when people sat on it, they always felt that their bodies would lean back slightly.
The warriors who followed had already retreated, only Felix remained, and Gough looked at Roque, who was sitting awkwardly, and couldn't help but smile: "When you get used to it, you will like this kind of chair." β
"It's going to take a long time, and I don't think I'll be able to stay long. Roque said absent-mindedly.
Felix stood quietly beside Goff, not saying a word, his sense of Roque was not very bad, but he knew that from the standpoint, they could only be enemies.
After a while, the servant brought the coffee, and after a few moments of small talk with the other party, he got up and gave Roque an explanation, and then left.
"Do you know what's going to happen later?" asked Felix, who hadn't left.
"Shouldn't you, as a follower, follow Gough? β
Roque didn't care about the other party's problem, and before he came back, he guessed that the invitation was just an excuse, and revenge on himself was the real purpose.
"Roque, I think you should care about your own safety, you look like a sheep in a wolf's den now. Felix sarcastically.
"Don't you think that the tiger broke into the wolf's den, you do have a few more high-ranking warriors, if this is the confidence of Gough, then I can only say that he is naΓ―ve like a rabbit. Roque retorted unceremoniously.
Felix shook his head, it seemed that the other party really didn't know his situation, as an opponent who had fought before, he decided to remind the other party.
"Your Excellency has received the knight's allegiance, and I guess I'm going to drink with him now. β
Roque pondered for a while, and then said: "I see, it's really a hell, how could the knight come to the town, you tell me this now, aren't you afraid that I will escape." β
"You can try it, and I won't stop you. "Felix is very confident, the other party wants to slip away under the eyes of the knight, it is a dream.
Roque smiled and didn't speak, the other party was right, his strength was not strong enough to ignore the existence of knights.
Although the situation was very unfavorable to him, Roque's heart did not panic, and gradually, he got up from his chair, and Felix looked puzzled when he saw this.
"Do you really want to see if you can escape?"
"You misunderstood, I just wanted to walk around the castle, it's so boring to sit here all the time. β
"Yes, but I have to follow. β
"Then let's go. β
The inside of the huge castle is like a labyrinth, and if you don't know it here, you will definitely get lost, Roque walks aimlessly, and when he wants to get close to something special, Felix will always stop him in advance.
After strolling around like this for a while, Roque ran into the little girl Anneway, who obviously came here on purpose, and Felix wanted to make a warning, but finally chose to give up.
Anneway's position in the castle is somewhat peculiar, some say she is the daughter of Hoforths, others say she is a student of Lord Knight.
"Are you a guest at the castle?" Anne asked in a whisper as she looked at Roque carefully.
"Yes, do you have something?"
Roque didn't know what the girl in front of him wanted to do, but judging from the other party's performance, it seemed that he had something to say to him, and he couldn't help but be curious.
"No, it's okay, I just wanted to see you, I don't think you're a bad person. Anne looked at Felix, and then spoke boldly to Roque.
"Thank you for your comment, if it's okay, we're leaving. Roque smiled at the other.
Watching the other party gradually move away, Anneway felt that she had to talk to Hoforth again, and after meeting Roque, she was even more sure that the other party was not the most vicious person.
