Chapter 226: Urgent Targeting
Howard, the head of the guard, who had arranged for the guards to turn back, sniffled as soon as he returned to the study.
"Did the king ask McCann to investigate Langdon Manor?"
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Silas raised his eyes to Howard, who had always been a man of few words.
"The subordinates just think that the affairs of Langdon Manor should not be entrusted to just one family. Howard didn't have much expression on his face, but his eyes were full of persistence.
"Neil, you've never cared about that, ......?" Silas asked, looking at Howard in surprise.
"My duty is to keep the royal court and you safe. Howard and Silas looked away, then pursed his lips, "I can't trust McCann, at least not him." ”
"But I've let him go. I want to give him another chance. ”
Silas looked at Howard and sighed.
He also knows that as a king, he can't be soft-hearted, but in addition to being a king, he is still a person, and he will also miss the old.
Howard was silent when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"In this case, I ask the king to give me a warrant that I may seconded a few men from the Orr family to help guard the royal court. ”
"It's okay, but I have you here, so I don't need them, you can transfer two more people, and pay attention to the safety of the two little ones and the queen. Silas thought for a moment and said.
"Wang?!" Howard's face, which had never been expressionless, was clearly full of disapproval at this moment, and his eyebrows were twisted into a pimple because of Silas's words.
"Don't be unconfident in yourself. Silas waved his hand, looked at Howard and smiled, before saying, "By the way, I dropped the Kent team to Luna and Jack, you can go back and arrange it." ”
Looking at Silas, who deliberately changed the topic in order not to let himself continue, Howard's lips moved, but he didn't say anything else, only answered yes, and returned to his daily position.
But well......
That night, Luna, who returned to the castle with a heavy heart, unexpectedly saw a cold face in the restaurant, but before she could speak, Jack, who had already come to the restaurant, stumbled and ran behind Luna, and asked in a low voice, thinking that he had lowered his voice:
"What's going on? Why did Uncle Howard follow his father here?"
"I just came back, and I want to ask you!" Luna looked at her father's stinky face that was obviously holding at this time, and instinctively shrunk her neck, inexplicably feeling that the atmosphere between Silas and Howard was a little weird.
"It can't be what you're doing out there, is it? I haven't been anywhere today, and I haven't caused trouble at school!" With Jack's knowledge of Howard, as soon as this person appears, nine times out of ten, he or Luna will be brought to Daddy and trained.
So since he walked into the restaurant and found out about Howard's existence, Jack was full of anxiety, but he had been worried for a long time, and the "sword" hanging above his head still hadn't fallen, and Luna's appearance was just enough to relieve him a little tense.
After all, he's not the only one who causes trouble on weekdays, isn't he?
His sister, that's not to cause trouble, and if you mess with it, it's the master of big things.
Thinking of Fleming, who was still blue and swollen, and refused to leave Samuel's house, Luna heard this, and her heart was sudden, although she didn't expect the accompanying guards to help her keep it secret, but she didn't expect that when this happened, her father wouldn't even let her enter the study, and directly moved the "interrogation room" to the dining room!
"Phew, it's you! Fortunately, the big ice cube isn't coming at me. Jack saw Luna's weakness and let out a sigh of relief, which was a relief for him.
"You're my brother!" Luna watched Jack grind his teeth when she heard this, this kid is not righteous anymore, she usually helps him cover up, why is it her turn, but Jack looks a little gloating?
"You think I'm going to be your brother, it's so unfulfilling!" Jack snorted and ran away.
Luna had no choice but to bite the bullet and greet Silas, "Oh, Mom, where have you been?"
"Well, let's eat first, and after dinner, you can go to my study. Silas had long heard all the discussions surrounding Howard between Luna and Jack, and was stared at by his subordinates, although his face was not too good, but he saw the apprehension of a pair of children, and his mood was much soothed.
"Got it. Luna nodded obediently, and then glanced at Howard, who was standing straight, with some confusion.
Although she realized in hindsight that Howard's appearance might not be for her or Jack, she didn't dare to ask why.
"Is Luna back, what does the manor see?" Olivia asked with a smile as she walked in through the door with someone and saw Luna as soon as she saw her.
"She was telling me that she had to think again. Without waiting for Luna to speak, Silas replied first.
"What's wrong? Is Fleming's manor a bad one?" asked Olivia, with some curiosity.
Hearing this, Luna glanced at her father, and obediently followed Silas's words, and told Olivia about the objective conditions of the manor, of course, the old orcs and Fleming in the manor were beaten, under the guidance of Silas, Luna consciously skipped not mentioning it.
After Luna had briefly introduced the manor, Silas spoke:
"Let's eat first? Someone add another set of utensils, and Howard has been staying for a meal lately. ”
"Oh, okay. When Olivia heard that Howard might have to dine with them for some time recently, she was visibly stunned for a moment, and her mood fluctuated slightly, but she didn't say much, just picked up the rattle on the table, called the servant, and laid out a new set of utensils.
At the dinner table, Olivia would always take care of Howard from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, and analyzed the pros and cons of buying or not buying the manor according to the conditions of the manor given by Luna, as for whether Luna wanted to buy the manor or not, Olivia did not interfere much.
At this meal, Jack ate very quietly, and even a little thief, and from time to time he would use his eyes to look at everyone present.
As far as his personal senses are concerned, it seems that whether it is his father or mother, or Luna's sister, today's dinner is a little absent-minded.
Could it be that today's meal was not delicious? But he didn't think so?
After the meal, Olivia left Sophie to watch the servants clean up the dining room, and Luna followed Silas to the study after Olivia left.
Jack stood at the door of the dining room, looking left and right, then scratched his head before pouting and heading down to his room.
Today he always has a feeling that he has been excluded from everyone, and he is not open!
