"Repay?" Swain raised an eyebrow as he pushed Victoria away, "Why do you want to pay it back, and what can you pay it back for? ”

Baron Deniz sighed, his back hunched over, and his figure looked older.

"Can't you forgive Ernest anyway?"

Swain turned his head and looked at Victoria, not answering Baron Deniz.

"Then there is no way...... Baron Deniz said, and he sat down slowly.

Swain didn't see it, and his figure was blocked by the railing on the second floor, so even Victoria, who had been staring at him, couldn't see his situation.

What does he want to do?

Victoria was deeply worried.

"Victoria. ”

Swain's voice abruptly diverted Victoria's attention, and she froze for a second before some anger appeared in her eyes.

"You and Mrs. go back with me, only as my family, you will not be implicated by Ernest......"

"I don't want to!" Victoria shook her hand and threw Swain away, "Father is not at fault at all, why are we implicated?

"I'm not asking for your opinion. Swain took a step and grabbed Victoria's wrist again, "You have to come with me, it's not a choice, you don't have a choice." ”

"You let go of me!" Victoria struggled desperately, but Swain's hand was so tight that Victoria couldn't break free.

Swain didn't plan to continue talking nonsense with Victoria, and the strength of his hands became stronger and stronger, and even caught Victoria's hands painfully. But no matter how Victoria struggled, she was being pulled by Swain little by little.

"Ahh

Just as Victoria was about to be dragged away by Sven, a heart-rending roar suddenly came from the second floor.

Swin and Victoria were stunned for a moment, and Swain couldn't help but let go of his hand.

Victoria rubbed her wrists and looked at the railing on the second floor in disbelief.

Blood dripped down the edge of the floor on the second floor.

Sven's hand trembled, then he immediately left Victoria behind and quickly ran up to the second floor.

Victoria's reaction was a little slower than Swain's, but when she did, she also hurried up to the second floor.

And by the time she had taken a few steps up the stairs and jumped straight to the second floor, Baron Deniz had already collapsed in a pool of blood.

Swain covered the wound in Baron Deniz's abdomen, and the old baron cut open his belly, leaking out the internal organs in his thin and narrow abdomen. Swain didn't even care that Victoria was right next to him, and turned what little magic he had left into healing magic to try to heal the old baron's wounds, but his current magic and the old man's life were not enough to support this.

Victoria stared blankly at this tragic scene, her face turned extremely pale, and even the dark green light in Sven's hand could not attract her attention.

"Do you just want to die in Ernest's place?" Swain's hands were already dyed crimson, and his shirt smelled of blood, "Why? I can't understand that even if you do this, will you be able to change my mind, will it be able to move me?"

Victoria stared at Swain's hand, which was clutching Baron Deniz's wounds, but blood was oozing from between his fingers.

"Your mother, Lady Bertha...... I watched her pass away...... "Baron Deniz, who was already healed from his injuries, is now speaking even more weakly, and anyone can see that this time Baron Deniz can no longer escape the call of death."

Swain was stunned for a moment, and even the hand holding Baron Deniz's wound couldn't help but tremble. He stared at the old baron tightly, and his lips couldn't help but tremble and read a "why".

Baron Deniz's hollow eyes stared at Swain, but those eyes were no longer focused.

"I'm sorry...... Lord Winston, who grew up with him...... Watching Ernest grow up...... And you...... I have served the Jericho family for more than forty years, but I ......"

Blood spilled from the corners of Baron Deniz's mouth, and the choking in his throat made his words inarticulate.

"But it was accompanied by the Jericho who sent off one after another......"

"So you don't want to watch Ernest die before you anymore?" Swain's eyes fluttered, and his breathing was a little scrambled, "You're a goddamn minion......

"Don't ...... anymore Oppose Ernest again, reconcile......" said Baron Deniz with difficulty, "this is my original ...... And the last wish......"

"If I refuse......" Swain stared at Baron Denise's fading eyes, and there was a sparkle in his eyes, "you're going to die, will you?"

Baron Deniz no longer seemed to be able to hear Swain's voice, and he did not react to Swain's words, but muttered, "Please tell Ernest...... Lady Bertha, to the end......"

"I never hated him......"

After saying that, the light in the old baron's eyes disappeared completely.

Sven gritted his teeth, he tried to control his expression, and it took a lot of effort for him to calm down.

Victoria on the side leaned weakly on the railing, although she had not lived in Midnight Castle since she was a child, and she was not familiar and close to the head of the Jericho family, but now seeing this scene, she still couldn't help but shed tears.

"You......" she held out her finger to Swain, and there was a bit of a trilling voice in her words, "you actually ...... Tears too?"

Sven blinked, slowly raised his left hand, and touched the corner of his eye.

The moist touch stayed on his fingertips, Sven's cheeks twitched twice, and the eyes that were not usually wavering, the face that was usually expressionless, now showed surprise, anger, and sadness in pain.

His facial muscles twitched slightly, and his eyes gradually changed from sadness to anger, a sudden anger that Victoria couldn't understand.

He shook off the tears and left the body of Baron Deniz behind.

"It's all your fault. Victoria stared at Swain, her voice soft and crying, but her anger was real, "What do you have to make that look, what do you have to be angry about?" I really can't understand you...... Can't even understand Sophia!"

Swain stood up and stared at Victoria, the muscles around his eyes clumped in a rage that Victoria couldn't understand.

"I don't like that...... he took a deep breath, "not at all." ”

Victoria didn't understand what Swain meant, and just as she was about to speak, she felt a blow to the back of her neck, and she lost consciousness.

Ramrem, who was standing behind her, helped Victoria in time.

"You should be able to stop him. Swain stared straight at Ramrem, "You have time to stop him from killing himself." ”

Ramrem shook his head, his expression sad. "He volunteered. ”

As she spoke, she looked downstairs, her gaze resting on the soldiers.

Swain frowned, he kept an eye on Ramrem, and then called a few soldiers and ordered them to send Baron Deniz's body to Cape Cathedral and let the monks prepare for his funeral first.

During the time the soldiers carried Baron Deniz away, Swain's gaze remained on Ramrem.

It wasn't until everyone in the room had left that Sven spoke.

"That's not a reason, not a reason to watch him stab himself in the stomach. ”

Ramrem sighed.

"If that's not the reason I didn't stop him from killing himself, then ......" Ramrem paused and looked at Swain very seriously, "then, what do you think is the reason for him to kill himself?"

The expression on Sven's face didn't change, but his hands were clenched tightly.

"You forced him to commit suicide, he didn't want you to be against Ernest from the beginning, he really hoped that you would finally remember the father-son relationship, at least not to hurt Ernest's life. But you didn't take into account his mood at all, you just used him as a pawn in your hand, until finally, when you ran out of use, you threw it to Ernest, so that he could be destroyed by you with Ernest. ”

"So......" Swain said very slowly, and at the same time made a sound that seemed to grind his teeth, "are you going to be on Ernest's side, too?

"Of course I'm on your side. Ramrem's eyelashes twitched, revealing a different emotion than her cold expression, "But...... After all, I have lived in this house for three years, and I don't want to see this house destroyed by you, just for Victoria, just for Lady Jane...... I also hope that you will at least spare Ernest's life. ”

"So, you're asking for the same thing as him?" Sven turned and looked at the other side of the hallway, "and you didn't stop his suicide?"

"I'm serious. Ramrem took a deep breath, "Don't you know what you want now? Why you did it, you should have a clearer idea by now!"

Swain paced restlessly up and down the hallway, the sound of his boots on the wooden floor rattling a sound that was all the more irritating in the silence of the room.

Suddenly, he stopped.

"Where's Mrs. Jane?" Sven turned his face and stared at Ramrem with a terrible look in his eyes, "where is she?"

Hearing Swain say this, Ramrem couldn't help but change his face. After such a long time, there has been such a big movement in the house, and Mrs. Jane has no reason not to know that something happened in this house, and she has not come out until now, so I am afraid that something happened to her.

"Where's her room?" asked Sven in a hurry.

"I'll take you. Realizing the problem, Ramrem stepped forward quickly, ready to lead the way for Sven.

"You look at Victoria. Swain stopped her loudly, "Don't let her have an accident. ”

"White doors. Ramrem nodded with a serious expression, then pointed Swain in the right direction.

Sven quickly ran in that direction.

After a few rounds, Swain found the room where the white door was visible.

He hurried to the door, and just as he could push the door open, Swain stopped.

The magic power in his body was gone, not even a little bit left, and Sven couldn't use his magic power to sense the situation in the room first, so he could only rely on his most basic ability.

Taking a deep breath, Sven pushed the door open.

The expected sneak attack and trap did not appear, and all he saw was the sight of Lady Jane tied to a chair.

Swain took a step forward and stepped into the room, surveying the room further.

Mrs. Jane was tied to the windowsill, and the room was so sunny that Sven could be sure that there was no one in it but Mrs. Jane.

Swain looked at Lady Jane, her long milky white hair hanging down to cover half of her face, and looking at her closed eyes, Lady Jane should be unconscious by now.

An envelope was placed on her lap.

Swain stepped forward and picked up the envelope while carefully observing Lady Jane's condition, at least on the surface, she should have been unharmed.

When I opened the envelope, there was only a piece of stationery inside, and there was only one sentence on the stationery.

"Let's have fun. ”
