Chapter 251: Behind the Scenes

A few hours later, a piece of news spread like lightning throughout the royal capital. When Campbell returned, all forces that had been against the Campbell family were wiped out, including the Duke of Warren's family.

Even the strength of the Great Knight Defoe. Valen was killed, and it was a teenager from the Campbell family who killed him. Campbell didn't get his hands dirty at all.

Kill all the families on the list who have targeted the Campbells, and Shaun takes House. Garcia returned to the Campbell home and let House. Garcia went down to rest, and he went back to his yard.

The families on the list have all been wiped out, but the corners of Sean's mouth can't help but hook a sneer, although all the families on the list that have targeted the Campbell family have been exterminated, but this matter is not over.

That's right, it's not over yet, and there is still one behind the scenes that has not been uncovered.

He had abandoned the horse for more than a year, why was it suddenly discovered a month ago, and then at the same time, the news that he was dead was spread everywhere, and if there was no "person with a heart" who was secretly manipulating, he would not believe anything.

However, this "caring person" is very hidden, and he has forced all the families who have targeted the Campbell family, but he has not been able to ask who this "caring person" is, not because these people want to help each other hide it, but because these families don't know at all.

"Brother, brother."

In the courtyard, a girl ran in, the girl was wearing a white dress embroidered with jasmine hair, with a doll-like delicate face, it was Lili who had not been seen for a year, and the other party had grown a lot taller after a year.

The girl ran into the courtyard like a gallop, and then pounced on Sean, her eyes full of joy.

"Coming back?"

Reaching out and patting Lily on the shoulder, Sean said with a smile.

"Big Brother Sean."

At the entrance of the courtyard gate, a panting girl appeared there.

The girl is wearing a long green dress, with a slender figure, extremely delicate facial features, and long white and blonde hair hanging down to her waist. Gao Xiu, she and Lily heard the news outside, only to know that Sean had returned, and hurried over.

"Long time no see."

With a smile on his face, Sean greeted the other party.

In the courtyard, in front of a stone table, the three of them sat down, and the maid Erin served hot tea.

Lily and Ilo. Gao Xiu kept telling Sean about the year's experience, and Sean also smiled and told about his own experience of the year.

When they heard that Sean was intercepted in the fortress, both of them were nervous, although they knew that Sean must be fine now, but they still couldn't avoid being nervous, until they heard that Sean had killed all the people intercepted, and the two were greatly relieved.

At the same time, Sean also asked some about the experiences of the two of them in the past year. Gao Xiu occasionally travels to various parts of the royal capital with his grandfather, the Earl of Walton, a powerful man in the kingdom, and Lily has already started to take etiquette classes, but this little girl is a ghost and elf, and from time to time she finds various reasons to skip class, and this time, she went to Gao Xiu's family to play, also to escape the etiquette class.

Sean listened quietly, he just smiled at the other party's skipping class, and did not urge the other party to learn etiquette at all, etiquette is such a thing, he doesn't value it, if Lily loses his former vitality because of learning etiquette, he is willing not to let Lili learn this etiquette.

"Elo, has Earl Walton been in the royal capital lately?"

He looked at Ilo. Gao Xiu asked.

"Grandpa, he's here, what's wrong?"

Yiluo. Gao Xiu had doubts on his face.

"Nothing."

Sean shook his head.

"I just want to visit him, wait a minute, when you go back, don't you mind if I go with you?"

"Ahh

Yiluo. Gao Xiu's face turned red, and he reacted after a while, and said again and again.

"Don't mind, don't mind, grandpa will be happy to know that you go to see him."

Sean's face remained unchanged, he probably guessed that Ilo. What was Gao Xiu thinking, for some reason, he had to meet Earl Walton, so this trip to Gao Xiu's family was imperative.

More than an hour later, a carriage drove out of Campbell's house and headed for the Gao Xiu family. Gao Xiu, who also has Lili, although she has grown into a girl, her character has not changed.

At this time, the Campbell family was already lively, and many major families in the royal capital who had not been to the Campbell family for a long time came to visit again.

However, this time, Campbell is not as easy to talk as before, most families do not give a chance to enter the door at all, and even if they enter the door, they are only placed in the living room, and then they ignore it, and only a few families who have lent a helping hand when the Campbell family is in trouble during this year have been warmly welcomed by the Campbell family.

Half an hour later, a horse-drawn carriage drove into a huge mansion with a quaint style that was different from the other houses, full of tranquility.

The Gao Xiu family is a veteran family in the royal capital, with an extremely long history of existence, and it seems to be a meritorious family when the Kalo Kingdom was founded.

When he learned that Sean had come to visit, the head of the Gao Xiu family, Walter . Gao Xiu warmly received Sean, and after learning of Sean's intention, he personally took Sean to Earl Walton's residence.

And Ilo. Gao Xiu and Lily were left behind by him, and did not let the two go with him, because he knew that Sean must have something important to find Earl Walton.

"Count Sean, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect that after you came back, the first person you saw was actually me, a bad old man."

The Earl Walton had white hair, but his countenance was not old, but a little infantile.

The path of knight cultivation begins with a paladin, and the physical functions will gradually undergo transformation, and eventually become different from ordinary people, and truly become an existence beyond ordinary people.

Although he was only at the beginning of his transformation, Earl Walton still received some benefits, and although he was not young, the functions of his body organs were still very good.

"Thank you, Earl, for taking care of the Campbells all the year."

Sean bowed respectfully.

This gift is Sean's sincerity, this year, without the care of Earl Wharton, Campbell will definitely not be able to hold out until Sean returns, the most likely is to be killed by the Wallen family, it is precisely because of the care of Earl Walton that the Wallen family does not dare to do it openly, and can only suppress and persecute the Campbell family through business means.

"Earl Sean is serious."

Earl Walton spoke.

"These deeds for the kingdom are worthy of me."

Looking at Earl Walton, Sean said solemnly.

"Earl Wharton, I have one more thing I want to ask you about this time."

Sensing the seriousness of Sean's words, Earl Walton's expression turned serious.

"What do you want to know?"

"Who got the news out that I'm dead?"

Sean said with a slight coldness in his voice, it can be said that it was precisely because of this news that the Campbell family was besieged by major families, and relatively speaking, the Valen family and other families were just being used.

Hearing Sean's words, Earl Bolton did not answer immediately, and after a long time, he frowned slightly and spoke.

"What do you do when you know who this person is?"

Sean had a hint of hesitation in his expression, which would actually make Earl Wilton hesitate, I am afraid that the identity of the person who spread the news is not ordinary, but no matter how noble this person's identity is, he will never let this person go like this, he said with a cold face.

"It depends on the situation, but it is definitely impossible to be lenient."

"Hey."

The Earl of Walton sighed and said,

"If I hadn't told you, I'd have asked someone else, right?"

"Hmm."

Sean nodded affirmatively.

Although this person is very well hidden, there should still be a few forces in the royal capital that have the intelligence ability to investigate the identity of this person, and if he can't get the information he wants from Earl Walton, he will naturally visit these families one by one.

"Forget it, don't bother like that, I'll tell you."

Earl Walton said with a hint of helplessness in his expression.

"It's His Highness Babbitt!"

"Is that him?"

Sean had a look of surprise on his face, and he finally understood why Earl Walton was so hesitant.

Babbitt. Katicoan, the 19th son of Katicoan XIV, is highly regarded by Katikoan XIV and has been appointed as the next successor of the Kingdom of Carlo, so it is no wonder that Earl Walton is so embarrassed.

"I remember I didn't have anything to do with him."

Sean frowned slightly, and then suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered something.

"Is it because of the royal marriage?"

He is the only one with Babbitt. Katicoan is only involved in the original royal marriage, and the princess who was given to him by Katicoan 74 is this Babbitt. Sister of Her Highness Katicoan.

"We don't know exactly why, but I heard that after you refused the marriage of Katicoan XIV, the princess cried a lot, and even fell seriously ill because of it."

Earl Walton shook his head.

"Since then, His Highness Babbitt seems to have developed a prejudice against you, but we didn't expect him to do such a thing, and by the time we tried to stop it, it was too late."

"Thank you."

Thanking Earl Walton, Sean walked towards the outside of the courtyard, since he knew who the person behind the scenes was, and the place he was going to go next was naturally self-evident.

"What are you going to do about this?"

Behind him, Earl Walton asked urgently.

"No one can afford not to pay for something wrong."

Sean had a cold look on his face, no matter what the reason, as long as he did it, he would naturally have to pay the price, even His Royal Highness was no exception, at least in his Sean.
