Hodge rode wildly and ran in the direction of the mansion.

"Although there are a lot of variables, they are generally in the plan, and it can be regarded as one thing to solve, and the next thing is to find out what happened to the mother's party to Her Royal Highness the princess?"

"In the past few days, if there is anything strange, going to the Black Thorn Manor to see Her Royal Highness the princess party, it must be counted as one."

"The second thing is the dinner party a few days later, my father is not a person who likes to be lively and social, and my mother is the same, although my mother is a wealthy merchant family, but she also has some royal blood, and she is half a royal family, and her status is not low, and she will not show her head easily."

"What is the reason?"

"Let them have that dinner in a few days?"

Hodge's mind was constantly changing, analyzing the possibilities.

He thought about it, only to feel a warm feeling on the tip of his nose, and he stretched out his hand to wipe it gently, and the bright red blood stained his palm.

Hodge was slightly stunned, and there was only one reaction in his heart: Why did he suddenly have a nosebleed?

The next moment, Hodge only felt that the world was spinning, his brain directly crashed, he couldn't control himself, his head was down, and he fell straight off the horse.

A pitch-black figure suddenly appeared and hugged Hodge who had fallen.

……

I don't know how long it took, but Hodge suddenly opened his eyes and sat up at once.

Ceilings with openwork patterns, delicate crystal chandeliers, oil paintings of landscapes, and pale yellow sunflowers on vases all seem to have never changed.

"Huh?"

"I'm back?"

Hodge was dazed for a while, and only felt as if he had a dream, no, it should be a double dream?

Layer upon layer of the kind.

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in Hodge's ears.

"How does it feel?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Hearing this, Hodge quickly turned his head to look.

The man with brown eyes, black hair, soft facial lines, and an elegant and quiet temperament was sitting on a chair next to the bed, quietly looking at Hodge.

It was none other than the owner of the entire fiefdom, Hodge's father, the Marquis of Bach.

"Father, are you ......" Hodge was happy at first, and just as he wanted to say something, he paused again, opened his mouth, and asked, "I...... What's wrong with me? ”

"On the way back, you suddenly fainted and had a lot of nosebleeds, I asked the doctor to check it, and he said that there is nothing wrong with you, it is just dizziness and coma caused by excessive energy exertion, and you are too tired."

Marquis Bach explained softly, picked up the glass on the table, opened the medicine bag, took out a few pure white tablets, handed them to Hodge, and said, "Come, take the medicine." ”

"yes, okay." Hodge honestly took the glass and pills, poured them into his mouth, took a sip of water, and tilted his head to send the pills into his esophagus.

"You don't have anything to say?"

"Like why go to Hodge Village?"

"Why take down O'Neill?"

"Or rather, how do you know there's something wrong with O'Neal?"

"Hmm...... Also, who gave you that blood cup of yours? ”

Marquis Bach took the glass, placed it on the table, and asked casually.

"Uh......" Hodge thought for a moment and asked, "Father, do you believe me?" ”

"Believe." Marquis Bach nodded slightly, his tone still gentle: "So I'm waiting for you to tell me yourself." ”

"If you don't think it's the right time, you can just leave it alone."

"Tell me when you want to."

Listening to his father's gentle words, Hodge's heart warmed, he cherished the family affection after the crossing, and he also cherished the love from his parents.

In his previous life, he was born in an orphanage, worked alone, did everything alone, he had no friends, he hated the festival the most, because whenever there was a festival, the lights were bright outside, the smoke was curling from every house, and he could only stay alone in the rental room, silently brushing boring short videos to relieve the sorrow in his heart.

Hodge also likes to read novels, and he has read a lot of online novels, and whenever he sees the protagonist of the novel doing his best to return to Earth, he always has no resonance, because for him, on Earth, there is no nostalgia, and going to work is just to get by.

And this time is different, when he came to this world, he experienced the temperature of family affection for the first time and felt the love of his parents.

Even if this love once didn't belong to him, Hodge didn't care.

At this moment, he just wants to protect the people he cares about most, protect this family affection, and protect his parents in this life.

It's what he cares about most at the moment.

Even if he tried his best, Hodge couldn't let others take them again!

"Father, give me a little more time, and when I investigate clearly, I will tell you everything." Hodge said softly.

"yes, okay." Marquis Bach nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, touched Hodge's head, and said, "Say it whenever you want, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you." ”

"If you need any support, just tell me, and I will allocate the resources of the government to you."

"Hmm." Hodge snorted, listening to his father's gentle voice, his eyes moistened unconsciously, and he quickly turned his head away, resisting the urge to cry at this moment.

"Alright." The Marquis of Bach naturally noticed Hodge's small movements, but he did not expose them, but continued to speak gently: "There is something. What are you going to do with Will? ”

"Will? That Bird's Beak Doctor? At the mention of the name "Will", Hodge immediately thought of the guy who used his life to test the loyalty of Russell and Bexime.

This guy, in Hodge's opinion, is simply a weirdo.

Cold, stiff, dull, and not at all smart.

A normal person's mind, even if he does this, will not say it.

After all, who would take the initiative to say such a thing?

However, this Will said it very directly.

Moreover, there is no disguise in saying it.

If he didn't say it, Hodge could still think that he was just a little stupid, but if he did, it was on purpose.

That is to commit the following crimes, it is a dereliction of duty!

"Doctor Bird's Beak?" Marquis Bach was also slightly stunned by Hodge's nickname, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Well, it's him." ”

"He was negligent in his duty to protect me, and risked my life to test Russell and Becimo's loyalty." Hodge restrained his expression and told the truth very objectively.

"Well, I know, he told me what happened." Marquis Bach snorted lightly and said, "Tell me, how about it, you can be angry?" ”

"First of all, he was derelict in his duty and failed to protect me, so I almost put my life in danger, and I must be punished, whether it is a withholding of salary or a caning, he must bear it."

Hodge made the first request first.

"Well, reasonable, he's derelict in his duties, he's punished." The Marquis of Bach agreed, "What else? ”

"Secondly, he used my life to test the loyalty of Russell and Becimoth, and I was not pleased with this act, so I will give me to be a servant for seven days, for my drive, and I will do my hard work." Hodge put forward one more condition.

"Well, as a guard, if you commit the following crimes, you should be put to death, is seven days enough? How about I give him to you, so that he will always be your servant and serve you? Marquis Bach thought for a moment and suggested.

"Not for the time being, he's too rigid, not flexible enough, and can't speak, I'm afraid that with him, I'll be angry to death." Hodge shook his head, his tone full of resentment against the bird-beaked doctor Will.

"Compared to him, I still like the sensible and obedient Anna and Zoina."

"Hmm." The Marquis of Bach had no opinion at all about his son's request: "Are there any other requirements?" ”

"Finally, I wonder what is his sequence rank? Where does he come from? and What is the Giant Court Sect? What is that evil thing? ”

Hodge looked at his father, Marquis Bach, and made one final request.
