Chapter 238: Change
Gathering his mind, Aaron's face naturally lowered a faint smile, as if the guy in front of him was not his enemy at all, and said loudly: "It turned out to be Master Philip, why did you come here so freely?"
Walking up to Aaron and standing still, the blazing tiger eyes looked at the young man in front of him with interest, and said with a smile: "Today is the day Blair inherits the title of earl, and I, as a colleague, naturally want to congratulate him." ”
Hearing Philip's words, Aaron was shocked again. Although he had already known that Blair's coat of arms had been embroidered with the count's insignia just now, the shock in his heart was still difficult to suppress when he heard Philip say that it was confirmed.
According to the laws of the Empire, Braden Jr. is the first heir to the title, and unless something happens to him, Blair will not inherit the title left by his brother.
After more than two months of cultivation, the selfish Aaron naturally didn't take Camilla and Braden, the orphans and widows, to heart.
Now, the situation is unclear, Aaron can't help but retreat a little, secretly thinking that it is better to return to the organization first to find out clearly before making the next step, and when he was about to leave, Philip took the initiative to speak: "Since Your Excellency is here, why don't you go in and have a few drinks together?" Haha, I don't think Your Excellency won't give the old man this face, right?"
Philip's eyes shone with an unusual light, and he made a gesture of inviting himself to the side slightly, and the people behind him suddenly made a way.
Philip doesn't know his true identity yet, I'm afraid he has the intention of wooing himself now, right?
It's not that the dragon is not a river, and Alun is not afraid that the other party will have any bad intentions towards him, so he smiled decently and said: "Since it is an invitation from an adult, how dare I refuse?" Haha, please first!"
Philip also stared into Aaron's eyes and laughed, and then walked with him into the Earl's Palace. Alun asked casually, "Hey, why didn't you see Mrs. Camilla?"
Philip's eyes paused slightly, then he suddenly stopped, turned his head and smiled at Aaron, "That guy Auston took her away." Haha, this woman is like clothes, she can wear it on me today, and she can wear it on you or him tomorrow, haha. Only you have the power and power, you can wear whatever you want!"
Raymond, the commander of the city guards in the back, immediately echoed and said, "What your lord said is really good, it sounds similar to the philosophy spoken by the priest in the temple, haha!"
"Haha......"
A group of people behind him couldn't help but echo.
Aaron smiled slightly, but did not take the words, secretly wondering what Philip meant by what he said.
After the two sides sat down according to the guest and host, they talked and laughed, but they spied each other's hole cards behind each other's backs. Philip has long coveted the power of the Dark Left Hand, and although some information can be obtained from the organization through some channels, its integrity, authenticity, and timeliness cannot be guaranteed at all.
As for Aaron, the only thing he was curious about about Philip was why the big man was here. Blair is just a captain of the City Guard, although the real power is not small, but Philip doesn't need to go here in person for a small City Guard captain, he can just take a representative to come over and congratulate him.
After some mutual spying, Aaron was also keenly aware that the other party must have something to do with the Earl's Court.
In the laughter, the sky gradually turned dark, the lights of the imperial capital gradually increased, and the lively banquet came to an end. Now, if someone who doesn't know the details of the outside world sees it, they must think that Alan and Philip are close friends.
Philip's resolute face was slightly tinged with a hint of burgundy drunkenness, and he patted Aaron's broad shoulder and said, "Aaron! I felt very cordial with you when we met for the first time, and we will have more contact in the future." Haha, I don't have much else there, but the wine and beauty are waiting for you at any time!"
Aaron's face was also flushed with wine red, and he smiled drunkenly, "Lord Philip really loves me so much. Okay, I'll bother you a lot in the future, haha, don't you bother me then?"
"Haha!"
The two looked at each other and laughed, and after a few more polite words, Aaron said goodbye to Philip and Claire, and slowly walked towards the hidden place with the flow of people.
As soon as Aaron's hind feet left, Philip's face suddenly turned cold, but several officers beside him did not dare to say a word, for fear of getting into trouble.
In a secluded courtyard, the faint light swayed gently in the breeze, and Camilla sat quietly on the edge of the bed, her eyes lost her mind, her figure visibly thinner, her former plump and smooth face now sunken, and her dazzling brilliance had long since faded.
Braden Jr. is dead.
Twenty days earlier, a group of robbers had burst into the Earl's Court and abducted Brayden before the city guards could react. Camila then informs Auston, who promised Aaron to take care of his mother and son, and with his assistance, he finally learns the robber's whereabouts.
The Wolf Thieves, a group of thieves who had been wiped out by the Count of Blaise himself.
It's a pity that Camilla and Auston didn't have time to negotiate with the thieves before the city guards appeared, and along with the city guards, there were also people from the dragoon army, and in front of these strong combat strength, this remaining bandit group was completely wiped out. But what Camila didn't want to believe was that little Braden, her life-dependent baby, was killed by desperate thieves.
The collapse of the spiritual pillar that kept Camila alive collapsed, and her whole person collapsed at once, if it weren't for the deep hatred in her heart, maybe she would go to another world to reunite with her husband and son......
The timing of the city guard's appearance was too coincidental, and their attack was too ruthless, which was completely opposite to their usual style. If at the beginning, Camilla was only skeptical, then the next incident made her almost sure that there was indeed an unknown story to this matter.
Less than ten days after the death of Breden Jr., his brother-in-law, the younger brother of his late husband, the Earl of Blaize, took over the title of earl without warning. All the formalities have been completed, even His Majesty the Emperor has passed it, and it seems that only the step left is the untimely death of little Braden.
Camila's reaction was very fast, although her heart was in turmoil, almost soft, but she knew that even if she died, she would have to avenge this revenge to die well. But she is also very aware of her situation, she is alone and weak, let alone revenge, and even self-protection may not have enough strength. Therefore, she immediately contacted the fat man Auston once more, and with his help escaped from the Earl's Court and went into hiding.
With the help of Tribune Chavez, Camila knew that her guess was correct, and that there was something else going on in this matter. It's just that there is a dragoon army involved, and I'm afraid that even a high-ranking official like Chavez is unwilling to get involved in this matter.
Alston arranged for Camilla to have a secluded and secluded courtyard, and arranged for some servant slaves to take care of her. At this time, Camilla's only hope is Aaron, the terrifyingly powerful "Knight of the Sanctuary".
It's just that Camilla knows that she and Aaron are just a ** deal, will he really fight against those people for his own **? reason told her that it is impossible for this knight to help her, but deep down she is still hypnotizing and emphasizing herself that the knight will make a move.
Could it be that even the tribune did not want to offend him was as simple as Blair fighting for the title? Why would the dragoons help someone who had nothing to do with him and was of a different system?
In any case, at least Camilla's last life-saving straw symbolizing hope has not been completely crushed by the heavy pressure, and she still has a glimmer of life in her heart.
In the dimly lit room, there was a faint shaking in the dark corner. After secretly staring at Camilla's haggard face for a moment, Aaron sighed softly.
Eventually, the black shadow squirmed violently and gradually turned into a human form, and a familiar voice sounded: "Camilla, I'm back!"
In a deep and magnetic voice, Camilla trembled violently a few times, and when she looked up, wasn't the owner of the voice the life-saving straw she was looking forward to day and night?
Surprise! hesitation! worry! longing......
Camila tried to open her mouth, but she couldn't say a word. The last hope, the only straw, and suddenly, Camila felt that her inference was correct, and that this man would not help her.
A trace of pity inadvertently flowed from Aaron's cold and resolute face, and he slowly stepped forward to hug her gently, and said gently: "Don't worry, everything will be fine!"
A word of infinite tenderness suddenly poured into the young woman's dry and desperate heart, and her eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and she hugged the knight to the death, and her body trembled violently involuntarily.
Yes, after the loss of Braden, her dependent son, in her heart there was nothing but endless coldness and loneliness in her heart. At this moment, she didn't care whether Aaron's words were true or not, at least her cold heart was no longer as cold and desperate as before, and she felt warm.
After being warm in Aaron's arms for a long time, Camila slowly raised her head, her eyes were already red and swollen, and she said hoarsely and tremblingly: "Aaron, please help me, I am willing to give you everything, please...... Woo......"
A woman's helplessness and emaciation are also a kind of style that makes people yearn for protection at some times. Aaron's warm right hand gently stroked Camilla's face, wiped the tear stains from the snow-white face, and looked at her eager and hesitant eyes gently, he nodded a few times seriously, and said, "Please rest assured, none of those people can escape!"
Yes, not a single bastard who is part of this conspiracy can escape, especially the miscellaneous who have close ties to the Morgan family......
