"And, it's not just Mr. Priest, but also ......" Allen, who was forced to blush-faced by Edward's repeated questions, had a small voice like a mosquito, and kept Jiao Xunzhe himself in his heart - obviously it was just a very ordinary thing, he was just an attendant, no matter what he asked, he should agree to anything, why was he so nervous?

"Young Master Allen?" A steady figure suddenly appeared behind the girl, and the girl, who was standing there awkwardly and at a loss, suddenly jumped up as if she had been bitten on her toe, turned around and looked at the figure with her hands behind her back, and smiled reluctantly in a daze: "Rowe, Sir Rollas, why are you?"

"This should be what I want to ask, you should go and spend time with your mother now, she is tired. Sir Loras did not look like some respectable knight at this time, but a dignified elder, and sighed softly: "As the future heir of The Hague Castle, you should be more or less like you. ”

"I just wanted to come and talk to Squire Whitwood about something, that's all. For this knight that his father trusted the most, Allen, who grew up in the castle since he was a child, was still a little in awe of him, and defended with a little blood loss: "It's just boring and wanting to talk to someone, and I haven't done anything very excessive." ”

"If you don't have anything else to do, please think more about who you are and what you do. Loras said in a deep voice, "Actually, I'm also looking for something from the Witwood squire, maybe you can leave for the time being?"

"In that case, I'll quit first. Alan seemed to be a little reluctant to nod and looked at Edward deeply: "If you need anything, go directly to my maid, she will try to help you." ”

"Thank you very much. Edward bowed slightly, smiling and thanking the girl. Alan gave Sir Loras another look of fear, and then trotted away in a panic.

"Such a kind and temperamental lord is the future master of The Hague Castle, the lord I will serve. Looking at the back of Allen's departure, Sir Rollas frowned, as if he was quite helpless and shook his head slightly: "The will of the Radiant Cross is really unpredictable, Sir Sierra actually died like this, making such an heir without choice.

"I really don't know what to say, sometimes I wish this young master Alan was actually a woman—maybe she would marry a good husband who was more stable, and that the Hague Fort would have a decent lord. ”

Well, Edward, hearing this, finally confirmed one more thing - this Sir Loras must not know the true gender of Allen, just like the "former" captain of the guard Tormond who died at his own hands.

In this way, I really discovered an amazing secret...... Edward chuckled a little undeniably. Whether it was Lady Angelica or Viscount Otto Kwyn, they didn't even tell the secret to the people they trusted most, and although they didn't know the purpose, they were careful enough.

"Although this young master Alan is not very presentable, far inferior to Sir Serra, he is very kind, and even the children in the almshouse are very tolerant. Loras seemed to be reluctantly looking for advantages for his future "lord", and looked at Edward with a somewhat complicated expression: "I don't wonder why Young Master Alan is so good to you. ”

"And it's a good thing for you, too, that Lady Angelica is known to almost everyone to dote on her children, and even if she takes into account Alan's affections, she won't dare to do anything to you anymore - at least on the surface. Sir Loras patted Edward on the shoulder, "I will keep an eye on Madame's every move, and as for the other dangers...... May the Radiant Cross bless you. ”

Edward suddenly felt a little funny, but considering the identities of the two and his current "protected" status, he lowered his head slightly and looked at Loras with a somewhat skeptical tone: "Sorry, I suddenly have a question I want to ask you, but I feel a little rude......"

"But you really want to ask and have said it, and it would be rude not to ask. "This is the reason why Sir Loras has always been disliked by Edward—there is no trace of condescension in him, and the respect that commoners should have for nobles, but this is also his merit...... In a sense.

"Unlike Madame Angelica, she wasn't sure if I was hiding anything—otherwise I would have died at Fort Hague, and would not have been alive less than ten days from the city of Turin. Edward asked in a very natural tone, "But you, or Viscount Otto Kwyn, seem to have decided that I am not telling the truth." ”

This is also where Edward is most confused, Lady Angelica, up to this point, has always been aimed at her death by "accident", and has absolutely nothing to do with anyone who killed her, because she is not sure if she is lying or not, and certainly does not want to tear her face for a guy who is not worth the battle.

If she's absolutely sure...... If you think about it, the ship you're on is probably full of pirates sharpening their knives - even if the ship sinks into the sea, there will be no surprise that Edward will die with him.

He had already made such preparations when he was on the ship, and there was a slight disappointment, but the battle in the storm did give him a slight sense of imminent death - even if it was to arrange an accident, the Mineste family's wealth and strength were terrifying, and raising their hands could push people to the end of the road.

But unlike that lady, Sir Rollas was almost "in his heart" with himself—telling himself exactly what he would face, and the relationship involved in the whole matter, as if he had decided that he was on their side, which was illogical!

The only thing that can barely be explained is that Lord Kwyn knew from the beginning what the purpose of the Knights of the Sacred Tree ** went south to investigate, but there are obvious loopholes in this statement - Edward's original knight master, Knight Tornier, arrived at The Hague Fort incognito, and Viscount Otto Kwyn obviously knew nothing about it.

So, what was it that convinced them that they were hiding some evidence against the Marquis of Minest?

Seeing Edward's somewhat curious and confused eyes, Sir Loras's expression became a little mysterious: "Actually, I'd like to tell you everything, but reason and experience have warned me that it's dangerous, so ...... I didn't ask Lord Otto Kwyn why. ”

"Didn't ask?"

"The more you know the truth, the closer you are to death - that's the lesson I've paid for twenty years, boy. Sir Loras snorted coldly, and the other man's disbelieving gaze was almost in front of him: "You have only recently been blessed with the Radiant Cross, don't squander such a precious grace lightly - that is countless kings, saints, knights...... A luxury that no one who is famous and a thousand times higher than you has ever got!"

"I didn't ask Master Kwyn 'why' on any mission after I arrived at The Hague Castle, which is one of the reasons why they trusted me so much. Sir Loras's words were meaningful: "For I know how high the value of the so-called 'truth' is, far more precious than gold, and more attractive than precious stones." ”

"But the more precious the value, the more dangerous it is to make sure that someone can go to great lengths to get it, and so dangerous that someone can wipe you out of the world at any cost. ”

In other words, the 'truth' is the 'gold', which can be thrown away or hidden. Edward nodded thoughtfully, "But that would be like gold locked in a chest, without any value and only burdensome." ”

"Now that you understand this, you should learn to make good use of your 'gold' and let it work, whether it really exists or not. Sir Loras suddenly laughed, but it looked more frightening than crying: "This is the first time we have spoken frankly about it. ”

"You are one of the few survivors of that great battle, and you are the one who killed the evil wizard alone, there is no second witness - this is your 'gold', your truth, every qiē is in your thoughts, one more tone and one exclamation point may be enough to determine the outcome of a game of chess!" Loras restrained his smile: "Understood?"

"I couldn't have understood!" Edward smiled, smiling merrily—he finally understood what Mistress Kwyn was up to. But instead of being happy about it, I was happy that I could finally enter a lively and interesting "ball".

Even though the one he was holding in his hand was only the most basic "admission ticket", and he wasn't even qualified to serve the adults with a drink, he came in anyway, didn't he?

Seeing Edward's expression, Sir Loras nodded, silently relieved - even though it was only to carry out Lord Kwyn's orders, and he didn't like this kid very much, it didn't mean that he had to watch him die without realizing it.

Nodding slightly, Sir Rollas was about to turn to leave, when a rapid horn suddenly sounded from the front of the camp, and Rollas quickly turned his head around, only to see the captain of the guard, Tasso, hurrying towards his horse.

"There are cavalry!"

(Ahhh...... I want to collect it, I want to recommend tickets and Sanjiang tickets, of course it's better to have a reward~)
