Chapter 052: (Never Give Up)

In the night, everything is as quiet as a stone, and you sleep soundly.

A cool breeze blew, and the leaves made a rustling sound, as if they were weeping mournfully, and at this moment a mournful confession was heard from one of the rooms of the old castle.

"My lord, please, I beg your forgiveness for me," Alan argued painfully on his knees. "I really didn't want to betray you, I was forced, I had no ......choice," his tone was close to pleading.

A few days ago, the wise Master Marco noticed the clerk's unusual behavior and told him about it while he was treating Lord Eddard. Bachelor of Mar was older than Duke Eddard's grandfather, and nothing escaped his eyes.

And when Duke Ed sent someone to summon Eren late at night, and before Lord Ed could even open his mouth to ask questions, the young clerk fell to his knees, wept and begged for Lord Ed's forgiveness. He seemed to have known that there would be such a day.

"Shut up. Gyllenwell said angrily. There was an unquenchable anger in his eyes, and his right hand gripping the hilt was gripping tightly. When he learned the news, he was only angry except surprised.

"No, no, I'm going to say, I regret it, but I'm really forced to..."The clerk trembled, his whole body twitching, teeth and teeth, and he couldn't help but make the sound of hitting each other. "My lord, please... You believe me, I said... It's all true. ”

"Confession is the first step to regret. Duke Eddard's eyes glowed red, but his face remained calm, not angry. "Tell me how they coerced you. ”

The old man did not believe that a cronie who had served him for many years could easily betray him. The old man could be sure that no matter how much money and wealth was promised, or how much fertile land and manor were given to him, it was impossible to buy this loyal young man.

Alan was his most trusted clerk, and Duke Ed would not hide anything from the young man. Except for Alan and Gyloronville, and the medically proficient Scholar Marles, no one in the entire castle knew about Duke Eddard's illness. This alone can be seen.

"They caught my mother, and my sister. "They threaten me that if I don't do what they tell me, he will burn my mother and let everyone rape my sister... Until... She...... Die. His voice was distinctly crying.

"Who are they?" said Gyloronville, a wounded lion-like roar.

"No! I can't say, I can't!" Alan was so panicked that he collapsed to the ground like cold water. He was afraid, afraid that if he spoke out, they would hurt his mother and sister, and they would.

"You know, Master Marco has more than a dozen ways to get you to speak. The old man's expression was solemn and serious. He didn't want to intimidate the young man with words, but he had to know the whole thing.

Masters who are proficient in potions can use powders made from various flowers and plants, or use the liquids of insects and animals to develop various chemical agents that can cause people hallucinations, anesthesia, coma, unconsciousness, excitement, obedience, and so on.

Alan trembled all over, broke out in a cold sweat, and his heart pounded in his craggy chest, and he almost fainted with fright. He pleaded weakly: "My lord, please, please don't do this to me, for the sake of my many years of service to you." ”

"If it weren't for the Lord's mind, you would be locked up in a dark and damp dungeon right now. Gylornville pointed out scathingly. "You don't want to stay there, and if the jailers guarding the dungeon know that you have betrayed your lordship, they will torture you with all kinds of torture. ”

The jailers in Harongoth Fort are not cruel and bloodthirsty executioners, but if any vassals or soldiers loyal to Harungos betray Harongoth, he will suffer the most miserable fate in Calradia.

Noble knights valued honor and loyalty, and once they swore allegiance to a noble lord, they rarely betrayed or forsook their masters. But lowly soldiers are different, they will betray or leave their allegiance to their lord for various reasons, such as food, clothing, salary, etc.

No soldier in the southern provinces dared to betray the Harongoth family, because they knew what would happen to them as deserters. In order to ensure the absolute loyalty of the soldiers, the Harungos family not only paid them extremely high salaries, but the laws of the barracks were also cruel.

"No, don't," Alan begged in a trembling voice, "don't tell anyone. In his heart, it was like there were thousands of sharp blades slaughtering there, and his whole body trembled.

"Who are they?" asked Gyloron again.

"It's Baron Griffin Prais...... And Rutgers Hallengoth, the nephew of the adult," Alan's expression gradually turned sad, and his face was full of despair. "They kidnapped my mother and sister, and they coerced me into doing it. ”

"Say it!" said Duke Eddard's voice was low and mournful. "What did they tell you to do?"

With a begging look, Alan said in a trembling voice, "Baron Griffin asked me to report to them about your physical condition and everything that happened in Harlan Gosburg, and they didn't let me do anything else except that. ”

"Who else are their people in the castle besides you?" the old man knew in his heart that Rutgers had been nothing more than a puppet at the mercy of man by power and lust, and that only the cunning Baron Griffin could have come up with such a sinister and vicious method.

"I don't know what to say, my lord. ”

"How did you send the news?"

"With the crow, the crow of the castle, I pass the message out of the city in your name. Allen's lips trembled and he said, "My lord, I didn't do anything to hurt you, I just passed on the message as they asked." ”

"I know it's not your fault. Duke Ed looked at him and said, "Get up! I will not punish you." The old man's tone did not mean to blame, but rather showed a hint of apology.

The young clerk looked up quietly at the old man in front of him, the pale face he was familiar with, and now he was looking at him with a kind face. Suddenly, in the depths of his heart, there were even greater waves of soreness, and he could hardly help but cry out loud.

Allen's heart kept blaming himself and regretting the stupid things he had done. In fact, he did nothing wrong, the fault was that he was a close confidant of Duke Haringos, and the misfortune suffered by his mother and sister was also because he was a close confidant of Duke Harongoth.

"My lord, my mother, and my sister. They—" Alan suddenly burst into tears.

"They'll be fine for now," Duke Eddard reassured, "and you'll continue to play your part to make sure they're safe." ”

Since they plan to use his clerk to obtain information about Harlan Gosburg and his physical condition, Duke Haaron Gess decides to continue the show until Alan's mother and sister are out of danger.

"What should I do?" asked Allen, confused.

"Just do what I say. Duke Ed said, "All right, you can go back and rest first!"

"Yes, sir. Alan bowed his head and left quietly.

When the footsteps in the corridor outside the door disappeared, Gylrenville couldn't wait to say, "My lord, the King's army of southern expeditions will arrive at the castle in the near future, and Baron Griffin and Rutgers will also be in the ranks, and I can capture the two of them on the spot." ”

Duke Harongoth was silent for a moment, and then asked in a deep tone, "Tell me, on what charges do you intend to arrest them?

"Isn't it enough that they sent someone to assassinate Iris and kidnap Allen's relatives?" Gylrenville almost blurted out.

"The king won't believe Allen's words alone," the old man's voice deepened. "Besides, the southern expedition is imminent, and the king will not allow anyone to arrest his vassals on unwarranted charges. ”

"Without the King's permission," said Gylrenville stubbornly, "I will take Baron Griffin and Rutgers at your command." "He was absolutely confident that he would be able to capture these two men with ease.

"Baron Griffin and Rutgers are not just two people, they have brought a lot of knights and thousands of soldiers with them. Duke Eddard's tone paused, and then asked, "Do you want to fight them at Harlan Gosburg?"

"My lord, is this the end of this matter?" The anger in his heart rolled in his chest like a fireball. Then, all of a sudden, he jumped onto the Heavenly Spirit Gai, and his face turned red.

"I'll write a letter to Baron Royce, and I'll leave the matter to him. "Duke Ed already has a plan in mind. Whoever does something to hurt Iris, he will not forgive them, not even his own brother's son.

"But, my lord," said Gylornville...... would not give up.

"Gyloronville," Duke Ed interrupted. "Tell me, those are the words of the house of Harongoth's motto. ”

"If you are insulted, you will not give up. ”
