Chapter 25: Escape

"Really...... The world is unpredictable. The corners of Lin Wei's mouth rose slightly.

Sermea, who looked so dignified and virtuous, turned out to be the daughter of the marquis of the Xuejing Kingdom, which made Count Lamo unacceptable for a while.

Now that the Kingdom of Yaosheng and the Kingdom of Snow Thorn have entered a state of war in private, this important news will soon be announced to the public. The friction between the two countries is so fierce that it has reached the state of detaining the other party's nationals, and it was at this sensitive time that Jon actually brought back the daughter of a great nobleman of the Xuejing Kingdom, and the other party still has the possibility of becoming his daughter-in-law!

Count Lamour's face turned pale instantly, and he squeezed out an ugly smile: "It turned out to be the daughter of the Bouvier family, no wonder she is so good." ”

Sermea was sensitive to the Count's change, but she only lightly thanked Count Lame for his compliment, but Jon frowned.

"What's the matter, father, your face doesn't look good. There was deep concern in Jon's tone.

In normal times, Count Lamo would have been happy to receive such care from his son, but now, his mood was extremely complicated.

"Oh, maybe there are too many things in the realm these days, and it takes a lot of energy to deal with them. Count Lame's tone suddenly relaxed.

......

After Sermea told her life story, Lin Wei clearly felt the gloomy mind of Count Lame, although the countess deliberately maintained the atmosphere of communication between several people, but the atmosphere was always a little weird.

The dinner lasted for more than half an hour, and Jon left the table with Sermea.

"Earl......" Looking at the departing figures of Jon and Sermea, the Countess spoke softly, she had already sensed that something was wrong with Count Lame, "You seem to be a little absent-minded tonight?"

Count Lamo glanced at the countess and did not reply directly to her question: "Well, I'm thinking about some business, you go back to the room first, Lin Wei and I still have something to say." ”

The Countess gave Lin Wei a deep look, then gently exited the banquet hall.

In the empty room, only Lin Wei and Count Lamo were left.

"Lin Wei, you should know the seriousness of the matter, right?"

The Count of Lamo casually picked up the knife and wiped it unintentionally.

Lin Wei nodded and did not speak.

Count Lamor's expression suddenly showed a hint of indescribable irritation: "Originally, Jon's return was a very happy thing, and he even brought a future daughter-in-law who made me and my wife extremely satisfied. But ah, I didn't expect it...... Sermea turned out to be the noble daughter of the Snow Thorn Kingdom. ”

"This time is too sensitive, if His Majesty knows that there is the daughter of the Marquis of Bouvier in the Tulip Territory, and she also has a close relationship with the heir of the Tulip family, then the Tulip family ...... It is very likely that he has been removed from the Kingdom of Yaosheng......"

A hint of fierceness flashed in Count Layme's eyes.

Lin Wei didn't say a word, waiting for Lammo's instructions.

"Lin Wei ......" Count Lamme seemed to have made a certain decision in his heart, but he was still hesitating, "You say, if I send Sermea as a pledge to the royal capital, will the Tulip family rise because of this?"

The Bouviers wield great influence in the kingdom of Xuejing, and if Sermea could be sent to the royal capital as a hostage, Count Lamer could almost expect that His Majesty would remember his great achievements.

Lin Wei still didn't speak, he knew that Ramo was just seeking answers on his own.

"It's a pity...... I'm sorry for Jon, kid. Count Lamo sighed.

Lin Wei glanced at Count Rumor and asked, "Lord Earl, what should I do?"

"Restrict Sermea's freedom, and tomorrow morning I will escort her to the royal capital. ”

After all, the Earl of Lamer chose to be an ambitious minister rather than a benevolent father.

"What if Young Master Jon stops it......" Lin Wei said in a low voice.

"If Jon stops you, then tell him about the war between the two countries, and he should be able to make the right decision about the survival of Tulip Territory. Count Hammer's tone was cold enough to send chills down his spine.

"Yes!"

Lin Wei responded.

......

No sooner had she come out of the banquet hall than Sermea grabbed Jon's sleeve.

"What's wrong, Sermea?"

Jon looked at the somewhat impatient Sermea in bewilderment, which was obviously not in line with Sermea's usual performance.

Sermea stopped, she stared into Jon's eyes, and said solemnly, "Jon, I have a bad premonition. Probably, something is going to happen......"

"Hmm, what do you mean?" said Jon, confused.

"Think about the scene you just had......" Sermea's voice was fast, but very organized, "and just as I said I was the daughter of the Bouvilles, there was a noticeable change in your father. After that, the way he looked at me was extremely unnatural. Moreover, I also sensed that he had a deep hostility towards me. ”

Jon's eyes were a little blank, as if he was carefully recalling the scene just now.

"Perhaps...... You're just a little sensitive, a little nervous in front of my father?" Jon said tentatively, a little like convincing himself.

"It reminds me of one thing. Sermea said, "I received a letter from my father half a month ago, and he mentioned the relationship between the Yaosheng Kingdom and the Xuejing Kingdom very euphemistically. He told me that there was a good chance that some big friction would break out between the two countries, and I didn't care at the time, but now it seems that the rift between the two countries has cracked. ”

"If that's really the case......" Sermea stopped talking, but looked at Jon.

At this moment, cold sweat continued to break out on Jon's forehead: "Is it war......

Jon suddenly thought that after returning to Tulip Territory today, he didn't even see Reruman and Naken, and if it wasn't for something very important, it would be impossible for the two of them not to come to pick him up at the same time.

At this time, Jon was no longer the same as before, he had learned a lot of military knowledge during the year of study at the War College, and the scene at this moment made him inexplicably think of the atmosphere before the war between the two countries.

The father of the erratic behavior, the letter from the Marquis de Bouville, the absence of Naken and Reluminman...... All this, at this point in time, is simply a coincidence!

Jon exhaled deeply, and he made up his mind: "Sermea, quick, follow me!"

......

Lin Wei led more than a dozen tulip guards and surrounded the guest room where Sermea was without a trace.

"Hmm, there are no lights in the house?" Lin Wei looked at the dark room, and suddenly had a kind of doubt, "How is it possible, they have already come back an hour ago." ”

He walked to the door and knocked softly, "Miss Sermea." ”

Knock knock!

Still no one responds.

"Oops!"

Lin Wei kicked open the door.

There was silence in the house, and two tulip guards who had been stripped of their clothes were lying on the ground in a coma.

"Interesting...... Unexpectedly, the earl's idea was discovered in advance. ”

A sinister smile appeared on Lin Wei's face.

"Someone! Search for the traces of Master Jon and Miss Sermea!"
