Volume II: The Cry of the Outcasts Chapter 13: The Gentleman
......
"Well, if you're willing to come to my room tonight, I'll intercede for your brother. ”
"Sisos, you are really despicable! Why do you want to let Li Meng go!"
"Oh, my dear Vera, the way you look angry is so beautiful......"
Do you really want to ...... Vera, whose face was pale, gritted her teeth, and for a while she really couldn't think of any other way to save her brother.
Gloya is merciful to his lords, and he is a good lord. However, to his own servants, the Grand Duke of Glia is a tyrannical master!
But this is not surprising - almost every nobleman on the continent has servants and retinues at will...... Including the right to execute.
And this right, even above the laws of the Empire!
Limon was tricked by Sisos into going where he shouldn't be, and he didn't have enough leverage (bloodline, identity, abilities) to get Glia to pay attention to, in case Glia ......
Vera didn't even dare to think about it!
Sissos on the side looked at her coldly, he knew that Vera would always compromise for the sake of his brother.
"Sister, sister......"
Just as Vera was at a loss, a faint but familiar voice came.
Looking in the direction where the voice came from, Li Meng leaned against the wall and walked towards the two with a weak face.
"This, how is this possible!"
Sisos couldn't even control his screams!
He knew very well that now his master was on the verge of rage, and the previous cooks and maids had disappeared!
But why did Li Meng come back like this?
Didn't the master punish him?
No one responded to Sisos's confusion, and even Vera glared at him hatefully, then walked quickly to Lemon and helped her brother to squat on the ground.
Li Meng...... Li Meng, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister...... I want to sleep......"
"Good, good. Sister, I'll take you back......"
......
When Vera helped the weakened Lemon away, Sisos's face was gloomy and almost dripping.
His brain raced to figure out what was going on.
At this moment, a cold hand was placed on his shoulder. Immediately after, there was a wave of ...... that he knew very well And the breath of fear came upon him.
"Lord, master?"
"Sisos, my servant, are you still loyal to me?"
"This ...... I am certainly loyal to you, my master. ”
Glia's tone was unusually cold, which made the already nervous Sisos ooze a cold sweat.
"So, do you know the price of betraying me?"
"Know...... Master, I know it's wrong!"
"It's late. ”
A bloodlet mist burst through the empty space, and a disgusting smell of blood instantly filled the air.
When the blood mist cleared, Gloya was the only one left here.
He shook his head and said to himself, "It's a pity...... You are the most clever servant here, but that doesn't mean you can deceive me......"
Then, Glia's deep gaze turned to the direction the two had left, and through the thick wall, he "saw" Vera holding Lemon, and a look of surprise appeared in Glia's eyes.
He hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and stroked it lightly on his face, and the few black gold magic patterns on his face slowly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Hiding the magic pattern, he no longer looks gloomy, and he is extraordinarily elegant.
After changing his appearance and temperament, he still didn't feel satisfied, and he reached out and snapped his fingers, and a black mist appeared from under his feet and gradually spread to his whole body.
Then, a middle-aged gentleman wearing a slim tuxedo, with a strong body and half-gray hair, appeared.
At this point, Glia nodded with satisfaction and walked slowly in the direction that the Vera siblings had left.
Gloria was not in a hurry, because, he knew where the two of them were.
In Blackthorn Castle, no one can hide it from themselves......
......
"Li Meng, are you okay, don't scare your sister......" After returning to the residence, looking at Li Meng who was lying unconscious on the bed, Vera couldn't help but sob.
The church is so far away from their homes, and the pastors there tend to charge high medical bills.
Moreover, since Li Meng is a pure-blood saint, his magic resistance is extremely strong. Vera didn't dare, and couldn't guarantee that the priest's healing spell would work on him.
Suddenly, she remembered that the servants of Blackbrath had said that the watchtower to the west of the castle was inhabited by a hot-tempered witch doctor with an odd personality, perhaps...... Can he see what's wrong with Lemon?
Can you invite him to come and see Li Meng?
"Tuk, tuk, tuk!"
There was a knock on the wooden door, and when Vera heard it, she was stunned for a moment, this house is usually rarely visited, and at this time......
But it didn't matter so much, Vera quickly wiped away her tears, stood up and walked over, and opened the wooden door.
When she saw the appearance of the person who came, she was in a trance.
This is a middle-aged gentleman who looks mature and steady, he wears a slim-fitting tuxedo, and his half-gray and half-gray hair is meticulously trimmed.
His weather-beaten face, which had become calm, had a pair of breathtaking eyes, and his uneven beard made him look a little vicissitudes.
But this vicissitudes of life can make countless young ladies addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves.
"Hello you...... Who are you looking for?"
Vera stammered in question, unaware of the fact that her cute little face had turned red.
At the same time, a faint mark suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"Hello, beautiful ...... Miss. My name is ...... Theodore Boken. Glia's smile was so kind in Vera's eyes that the defensiveness in her heart lowered again.
“...... Hello, is there anything wrong with you?" Vera stammered in response, forcing herself to stop thinking nonsense, and she glanced back at Lemon who was lying on the bed.
Li Meng was still unconscious, his breathing was still weak, but steady.
However, it can't be delayed.
"I was passing by here and I heard you outside the door...... Well, is there something going on?"
"Hmm...... My brother suddenly became very weak...... That's ......" Vera then told Glia exactly what had happened today.
It was clear that she had completely let go of her guards, and completely believed in the man she had only met once, calling himself Theodore.
"So, he's being ...... After Sisos was framed, did he faint when he appeared in front of you again?"
"That's right. ”
"So, may I please take a look at him?"
"Good ......"
Vera gave way, and Gloa walked in.
As the two staggered, the imprint in Vera's eyes gradually dissipated.
As the mark dissipated, Vera's eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement, just now, why did she let him in so easily?
