…
Ren Made has been trapped in the basement of the Elk Mansion for half a month.
He thought he could stop Jacques, but he didn't expect that the other party would act in advance.
"This is today's lunch, please take your time," Sean, the long-faced butler, handed a plate of sticky meals to the cage, which looked like a mixture of porridge and vegetable leaves, and the portion was only the size of a palm.
"Let me out, you idiot!" Ren flipped the plate to the ground, grabbed the railing and yelled, "Jacques is also an idiot, he doesn't know what he's doing at all, it's too late to let me out now!"
The butler shook his head regretfully, took out a handkerchief and wiped the dirty shoe uppers twice, "If I were you, I wouldn't waste the food that didn't reach my mouth. The Count has instructed me to save you some money. Strength, only one meal is delivered this Monday."
"Damn, didn't you hear what I was saying?" Ren yelled, "It's not about a meal at all. If you don't stop Jacques, he will destroy the Elk family! For my father's sake, Open this cage now!"
Probably the second half of the sentence played a role, and the housekeeper who was planning to leave stopped, "Your father? I think if he was still alive, I'm afraid he would immediately kick you out of the house." He turned his head, his face blank Looking at Ren with an expression, "Master, you seem to have forgotten that it was the fourth prince Roland Wimbledon who killed Earl Elk, and the Honeysuckle family not only joined the prince, but also assisted him in suppressing the other four families. My brother is correcting this mistake, but you are so frightened that you can be regarded as a knight?"
"I don't need you to judge whether I am a qualified knight or not," Ren said angrily, "When I fought against evil beasts in the Hermes line of defense for the past three years, Jacques would only enjoy his romance in the capital. Do you think he is attacking the Honeysuckle Family now because of his courage? Stop laughing, he is just blinded by interests!"
Sean sighed, "Even if you are Lord Jacques' younger brother, you should maintain the most basic respect. After all, he is an earl and the head of the Elk family."
After speaking, the butler ignored Ren and walked quickly down the stairs to leave the basement. When the door closed, the ground returned to silence.
"Damn it!"
Elk's second son slammed his fist on the floor.
Since the beginning of winter, Jacques visited other families more and more times. He didn't care too much. After all, he had no interest in running a family. In addition, when Jacques was captured by His Royal Highness for the first time, he refused to pay the ransom. It was only after Luo stepped in to help that he escaped from prison, and the relationship between the two dropped to a freezing point. Even so, Ren did not intend to compete with the other party for the position of the head of the family. Hearing the news that Border Town was planning to build a city, he even considered going to the town to be loyal to the Fourth Prince and officially become a guardian knight. But the situation changed later. During a private banquet held at the Elk Mansion, he heard the news that the four major families were preparing to jointly deal with the Changsong Fortress.
That night, Ren rushed into Jacques' study and questioned the other party about the matter, but was blasted out by the latter extremely unhappy. After thinking about it all night, he planned to tell Peiro the news first, and then bring the patrol to stop Jacques, but unexpectedly the other party moved his hands and feet during breakfast, and when he woke up, he found that he had been trapped in a cage.
After that, no matter how Renn roared and warned, he never saw Jacques again. Every day he can only judge the time by the light and shade of the skylight in the corner of the basement, and the only person he can contact is Jacques' personal butler.
"Gollum..."
There was a long cry in his stomach, and then he realized that he was a little hungry.
Glancing at the food scattered on the ground, Ren turned his head and fell on the straw pile behind him. Let's go to sleep... He thought to himself that if he fell asleep, he would not feel hungry.
Just as he closed his eyes, footsteps sounded again in the basement.
Could it be... Jacques is here? He jumped off the haystack violently, sticking to the railing with the help of the faint light from the skylight.
"Brother, are you alright?" When the other party came to the cage, he realized that the person who came was actually Aurelian, the third young lady of the Elk family.
"How did you get in?"
"My eldest brother isn't here, those servants can't control me," Aurelian said, looking at the porridge on the ground in disbelief, "they just give you this? It's too much! You wait for me, I'll let the kitchen give it to you. You make something to eat."
"Jacques isn't in the house anymore?" When he heard the first half of his sister's sentence, Ren's heart sank, and he didn't even care about filling his stomach. "Where did he go?"
"I don't know... He left two days ago," Aurelion shook his head, "and took away most of the guards at home, otherwise I wouldn't have a chance to enter the basement."
After it was over, Ren felt a chill in his heart. He didn't return for two days, and today was the third day... Even if he could go out now, it would be too late.
"Brother, I heard that the elder brother wants to be detrimental to the Honeysuckle family, is it true?" Aurelion looked worried, "Lord Peiro will be fine, right?"
By the way... The third sister has always liked Peiro Hermon very much, and she also deliberately matched the two of them, but unfortunately that friend seemed to have a different heart. But it was useless to think about it now. Ren sat down softly against the railing, and was completely helpless. According to Jacques's style, he would not let the Hermon family go. Next, the entire Western Territory would inevitably face The thunder and anger of His Royal Highness.
Jacques stayed in the capital for too long, he didn't even realize what he was about to face... Ren closed his eyes and couldn't help recalling the day when he attacked Frontier Town. The knight seemed to have hit an invisible wall, the armor was vulnerable in front of the transparent arrows, the skills trained for many years, and the courage to fight for honor were all useless in front of the opponent's weapons.
From that moment on, he no longer had the idea of becoming an enemy of His Royal Highness.
No one can defeat His Highness' troops, at least not mortals.
If the fourth prince knew what happened in the fortress and swept over the fortress again, even if the Elk family gained more benefits, what was the use? This time... I'm afraid he won't let the four major families go again.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Aurelion shook him, but he didn't mean to move at all.
The Elk family is over.
At this moment, through the thick ceiling, Ren heard a faint roar, and then the ground trembled slightly, as if something had smashed into the mansion.
Did you hear it wrong? Ren turned over, but saw his sister showed the same surprised expression.
Then there was another dull thunder, but this time it was much clearer, followed by a series of short ping-pong sounds, and the panicked shouts of the servants came from overhead.
Could it be... is the army of the fourth prince coming? Ren couldn't help stunned, how is this possible
"What happened outside?" Aurelion stood up, "I'll go out and see."
"No," Ren grabbed his sister's hand, "don't go anywhere, just wait here!"
"Eh?"
"Listen to me..." he swallowed and said dryly, "out there... there may be danger."
The roar subsided after a while. After about half a quarter of an hour, a group of men and horses broke into the basement. They were wearing uniform brown uniforms and holding strange long-handled weapons. Ren recognized at a glance that the person who came was the prince. Your Highness's troops!
He was in despair, knowing that His Highness would take revenge, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Could it be... is this a drama written and acted by the Fourth Prince at all
"Who are you! How dare you trespass into the Earl's Palace!" Aurelion stood up and scolded.
A tall and strong man walked out of the team. His facial features were sharp and angular, and there was a chilling air between his eyebrows. He looked like an alien.
"You are the second son of the Elk family, Sir Ryan Meder?" the other party said.
"Know, know and don't retreat? What do you want to do?" Sanmei's tone was a little trembling, but she still stopped in front of the iron fence.
"I'm Ren! Don't hurt her... She's innocent!"
Ren thought that he was about to see an unbearable scene, but he didn't expect that the other party completely regarded Aurelion as air, and the next words were completely unexpected.
"I am the commander of the First Army, Iron Axe. His Royal Highness Roland has ordered me to come to you specially," the man said solemnly, "He asked me to tell you that Mr. Pei Luo wants to see you."(.)
