Chapter Seventy-Eight: Hans Doesn't Want to Face Torture

"Hans! Go and arrange a suitable place for a few guests! Count Bred commanded with a cold face, and then he stroked his chest perfunctorily and said to Leus, "I'm sorry that I can't entertain you to-night, but allow me to let you rest for a while, and then talk about important matters to-morrow." ”

He was still thinking about whether to keep the saint, but the appearance of the second prince left him with only one choice.

No nobleman can drive out the royal family, this is the most basic bottom line, and if the second prince is taken in and does not agree to the request of the holy woman, it is a taboo to treat the nobles at will, which is a mistake that a qualified nobleman will never make.

Hans hurried over when he heard this, and bowed down and led Rogers and the others to the depths of the mansion.

"Do you want to keep Rogus locked in the stargazing tower to keep Rogus safe?" Rheed suggested to Earl Brad, who saw Rufia helping Rogus sweep away the snow and thought of the letter Rufia had sent, and he realized a lot at once.

"I think it's a good idea." Earl Derwin's well-groomed beard was now a little disorganized, and he echoed it the moment Rheed's words fell.

He didn't hate his daughter's closeness to Rutgers, and was even happy to move their relationship forward, but that was before Alina insisted on standing opposite the saint for Rogess's sake.

This brings not only benefits, but also unpredictable risks, for him, the hostility of the saint is not something that can be easily accepted.

In particular, the attitude of the saint towards Rogers has become out of control from his years of experience.

Therefore, the future development of the relationship must be carefully evaluated before making a decision.

"I'll think about it." Earl Braider replied to the two of them with a flat expression.

"Forgive me for my presumptuousness, do you still have the idea of giving birth to an heir?" Earl Devin couldn't help but continue to ask, the interests of the Devin family and the Breed family had long been deeply bound by the green valley, and his heart was still inclined to be stable through marriage.

If there is no other option, then I am afraid that I will really have to choose Rutgers.

Earl Brad paused, did not respond immediately, but looked at the back of Rogers as he walked away, and sighed deeply.

……

It was the first time that Hans had been Rogers' personal attendant since he had encountered such a grand reception.

The saint, the prince, and the princess, any one of them is an extremely noble existence, and today there are three of them gathered at once, and they are all around his young master, which makes him wonder if he has stepped into the sleepless country.

Rogers was thinking about what had just happened, his father and Earl Devon and Prince Rörheid must have noticed the strangeness of those assassins, and the reason why they pretended not to know and didn't dig deep was because they all had interests tied up.

But if it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid it will be another trouble.

We need to find an opportunity to contact the cultists as soon as possible and tell them to keep a low profile.

Otherwise, sooner or later, I will have to fall into the fate of wandering around with them.

"Can I stay close to Rutgers' bedroom? This way I can support at all times. Alice hesitated for a moment and asked Hans.

"Is it around the young master's bedroom?" Hans subconsciously looked at Rogers, but unfortunately saw that Rogers seemed to be pondering something, and did not react to this sentence.

He thought about it for a while, but he still didn't want to make a decision without the young master's consent, so he said, "Then please wait a while, I will take a look at the situation, and I will inform you if it is appropriate." ”

"Rutgers' bedroom is supposed to be pretty big, right? Can Alina and I live in directly? Rufia tightened her coat and asked.

"This ......" Hans opened his mouth to speak, but stopped talking, and finally he took out a white towel and touched the empty sweat on his forehead, and replied in a deep voice: "If I really arrange it like this, the young master will be hanged on the stargazing tower." ”

When an attendant is confronted with a question that he cannot answer, or is unable to perform his duties, he will act in such a way and say something that is destined to be refuted.

Usually the nobles would reprimand or rebuke this phrase, and then ignore the incompetence of the attendants.

However, Rufia only muttered in displeasure: "It's ...... in St. Herthe."

Alina immediately covered Rufia's mouth and motioned for her to stop talking.

Rogers raised his eyes and saw Hans's face with horror and disbelief, he raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead, and said helplessly: "Hans, in fact, in St. Herthe......"

"Young Master! The clouds have dispersed and the moon has come out! Hans hurriedly raised his head and praised the moon in the sky, telling that the moonlight was also celebrating the return of the young master.

His breath was short, his face flushed, his heart was pounding, as if he was feeling the joy of the sight, and he tried to make a gesture that he had just heard nothing.

Rogers didn't say much when he saw this, he knew Hans's temperament, and he was not afraid of any rumors because of it.

"Just because of this kind of thing to be hanged on the tower? Earl Braider is too brutal, isn't he?

"You are in such a family, you can be responsible, it seems that there are still a lot of untruths in the outside world's evaluation of you.

"I hope you can think about your future, and after entering the Pantheon, you can not only get rid of the marriage contract of the Devon family, but also leave this tyrannical father reasonably.

"Under the promise of the gods, you can also get married, and your talents will definitely get the attention of the gods, and you can also renew your friendship with the holy woman next to you at that time."

Leus frowned, unceremoniously criticizing Count Breed for his unscrupulousness while admonishing Rogers.

Through Alice's reaction just now, he has already determined that this saint girl cares about Rogers very much, and the two are probably unable to communicate because of their identities.

So he couldn't understand what Rogers was resisting, and he could get so much benefit from joining the Pantheon.

Hans clenched his white towel with trembling palms, beads of sweat slid down his temples and cheekbones, and an urge arose in his heart to pierce his ears.

All this should not have been borne by one of his attendants.

As soon as he noticed Miss Alina's increasingly cold gaze, and saw that the Holy Maiden seemed to be about to respond, his mind began to run wild, pondering how to properly and deceitfully divert the deadly subject.

Perhaps it was the mercy of the world that a chamberlain arrived in time to solve Hans's crisis.

"Young Master, there is a young lady outside the mansion who has asked to see you, and she said that you have left an indelible mark on her that belongs to you alone.

"When the Earl learns of this, he asks you to rush over now......"

The squire bowed his head deeply under the gaze of everyone, and tried to speak in a calm tone.

I'm sorry, it's really been squeezed dry...... I'll try to see if I can break through again tomorrow.
