Early the next morning, the Valen family mansion.

Ronan woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes to see the face of a girl close at hand.

Mariana's head was resting beside him, snorting and falling asleep, with a strange smile on her face and a whoo-hey sound from time to time.

And her body was rolled up in a ball by the quilt, firmly wrapped, and she couldn't move.

Last night, in order to prevent her from continuing to move, Ronan had to abandon her quilt and seal her in it.

Fortunately, the girl's energy was low, and she fell asleep quickly after making a fuss for a while, which made him a lot easier.

He really didn't feel much about Mariana's embrace.

He is too young and average-looking, and after staying with Alice and Isa for a long time, he really can't find anything about each other that can attract him.

She is also comparable in appearance to Kasanna, but the latter has now developed and is beginning to show the curves of a girl.

Ronan thought that in another two years, he should be able to get to that point with Kasanna, and he was not in a hurry to waste it on the bad women who coveted his body outside.

In other words, Kasanna is now considered to be a grown up.

Ronan couldn't help but think to himself, if he doesn't get to that point, it should be normal to help or something, right?

He wasn't so sure, mainly because Kasanna had big problems with his feelings right now.

This leads to her inexplicable resistance in the face of her own request for intimate contact, which is not so easy to accept.

Although it is a male instinct to be called daddy, adding fun and sincerity are completely different things.

Beasts and beasts are not as good as beasts, Ronan had a tangled headache, and after thinking about it, he decided to go back and try it.

Maybe after crossing this hurdle, Kasanna's feelings for him will return to normal.

At this moment, Mariana, who was beside him, opened her eyes and looked around in confusion.

"Hmm, where is this?"

Mariana's eyes finally focused on Ronan's face, and she jumped out of bed in horror.

But the body wrapped in the quilt could not move, so it could only jump off like a caterpillar and lie back on the bed.

"Didn't you have to lie in my bed last night? There's no need to wake up in the morning and make a fuss. ”

Ronan reached out and grabbed the quilt to prevent her from rolling off the bed.

"That's right!" Mariana's eyes lit up, but she quickly realized that something was wrong, "But you didn't do that kind of thing at all!" ”

She shifted to Ronan's side, then angrily put her head on his waist.

"There's still some time, come in, I won't dislike you for being fast."

"I don't think it's okay to say it, and I hate you for being small. Okay, get dressed, there's something important going on later. ”

Ronan reached out and removed her head, untied the quilt, got up and took a robe from the closet and threw it to her.

"It's morning, what can be important?" After breaking free from the quilt, Mariana spread out on the bed in frustration.

At that moment, a scream echoed throughout the mansion, startling her.

The maid who came to knock on the door looked at the corpse outside the door in horror and shouted.

The chamber of the Valen family's mansion.

At this moment, the family patriarch Dania, his younger brother Keno, Viscount Johnson, as well as the sons and unmarried daughters of the Dania parliamentarians, all gathered here to discuss something anxiously.

Ronan led Mariana into it, and sat in two adjacent seats under the guidance of Councillor Dania.

"It's good that you're okay, Count Ronan."

Upon hearing that an assassin had appeared outside Ronan's room, Councillor Dania nearly went into cardiopulmonary arrest in fright.

Now the family finally saw the hope of counterattacking the Finley family.

He couldn't imagine the consequences of Ronan's accident at his mansion.

The repercussions of the assassination of a royal earl were enough to bring the Valen family to a low point, where they were harshly held accountable by the Emperor and Earl Draco.

Fortunately, it was only a false alarm, and the assassin was already dead when he was discovered.

"It is a serious dereliction of duty on the part of the family to let the Assassin appear at your door, please rest assured that we are sending someone to verify the identity of the Assassin, and once we find a clue, swear in the name of the Valen family! This shame will be washed away! ”

Councillor Dania said solemnly, and at the same time there were some doubts in his heart.

Although last night in order to allow her daughter to have an independent space with Ronan, there were no guards outside the door.

However, the passage to Ronan's room was heavily defended, with multiple teams of soldiers patrolling alternately, and it was theoretically impossible for any Assassin to infiltrate.

Can be biased.

"An assassin approached our room last night?" After hearing her father's explanation, Mariana understood the situation.

He was very panicked and wanted to throw himself into Ronan's arms, but was stopped by his eyes.

Under the teasing gaze of several sisters, Mariana sat back in her seat angrily, complaining in her heart about Ronan's incomprehensible feelings.

As for the problem of the assassins, she did not take it seriously.

As the daughter of the Valen family, she didn't see it before.

Most of the other members present who were unaware of the situation were only angry that someone dared to send an Assassin to invade, and did not pay much attention to the Assassin himself.

Who let the other side die quietly and did not cause any casualties.

At this moment, a subordinate anxiously entered the council chamber and whispered into the ear of the member of Dania to report the situation.

Third-Order Assassins? Congressman Dania's pupils constricted, digesting the news in disbelief.

There is only one third-order in the entire Emerald City, who is responsible for the security of the city and has a high status.

And a third-order assassin is theoretically enough to kill everyone in their clan with ease!

"Count Ronan, I wonder why that assassin would?" Congressman Dania asked cautiously.

"My guards have cleared me of threats." Ronan responded with a smile.

Guard? Congressman Dania wanted to say how I didn't see it.

But remembering the silent death of the third-order assassin who had easily infiltrated the mansion, he silently closed his mouth and nodded in understanding.

"I'm amazed by your guards."

"Also, about the assassins, I don't think it's hard to guess." Ronan spoke.

"That's right, it must have been sent by the Finley family, and those gangster scum are the best at this kind of thing!" Viscount Johnson on the other side said angrily.

Ronan is not only his hope of returning to the Emerald City, but he is also introduced by him, and if something happens, he will not be able to escape the blame.

"That's true, the Finley family has planted a lot of people at the gate of the city, I should have been on guard for a long time, but I didn't expect them to really dare to tear their faces, offend the majesty of the empire, and attack you." Dania's younger brother, Kino, gritted his teeth.

"Father, the actions of the Finley family are undoubtedly at war! We must pay it back with blood right away! ”

Hearing everyone's words, Councillor Dania nodded in agreement.

Now that the arrow is on the bow, he has to send, even if the current strength of the family may not be able to defeat the Finley family, he must set an example.

At this moment, another subordinate hurriedly ran into the council chamber and reported the situation of the Finley family to Councillor Dania.

"What do you say? The Finley family is gone? ”

Councillor Dania was so frightened that he cried out, leaving the angry crowd stunned in place.
