"Nonsense!" Archduke Horton glared at Pluto.
At this time, he didn't think much about it.
He naturally knew the relationship between Pluto and Viscount Iron Wall.
But even if he made it clear that he wanted to cut Viscount Tiebi's military power, at most Pluto would only beg for mercy, and would never dare to openly resist.
What's more, Viscount Tiebi's mission this time is indeed a failure, even if he accepts the punishment, it is justifiable.
Pluto didn't want to do anything out of the ordinary because of such a thing.
After all, the two were his right-hand men who had fought with him for many years, and Archduke Horton never doubted their loyalty.
However, he didn't know that his biggest secret had been exposed by Nie's "spoiler dog"...
"Pluto, you are still so annoying, haha!"
A smile appeared on Viscount Tiebi's face, and he took the initiative to open his arms and walked towards each other, as if he wanted to give a loving hug to a friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
It's just that the Viscount Tiebi with a smile on his face, when passing a certain position, the range of movements on his hands is inadvertently, slightly large...
"Bang~~"
There was only a crisp sound, from the hand of a famous master, the beloved of the Grand Duke Horton - "Jenice with a Broken Arm", and it fell into pieces all over the ground.
Pluto: "… "
Archduke Houghton: "..."
The scene was silent for three seconds.
Pluto opened his mouth.
The look on Duke Houghton's face was visibly gloomy.
On the contrary, the entourage behind Pluto looked at the debris on the ground, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Uh... I'm sorry, Lord Duke, my hand slipped, this... this..." Viscount Tiebi rubbed his hands together, as if trying to explain with an embarrassed expression.
Pluto looked at Viscount Iron Wall with a speechless expression.
slipped
This statue has to weigh dozens of kilograms. Why are you "slippery" so vigorously
Could it be that he was actually "charging up" just now, ready to strangle me
"That... my lord, this is your favorite thing, your subordinates are so careless.
But don't worry, as long as you tell me which famous hand this thing came from, I promise to get you an identical one within a month.
No matter how much money I spend, my family will go bankrupt, and my subordinates will not hesitate!
What, I didn't see the Duke looking sad, hurry up, come on, clean up these pieces! "
"Enough!" Archduke Horton interrupted Viscount Iron Wall's move to summon a servant slightly rudely.
He stared straight at Viscount Tiebi with hawk-like eyes, as if he wanted to judge from the other party's expression whether the scene just now was really an accident.
a long time…
"Alfonso, go back and thank you behind closed doors for three months. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the mansion!" Grand Duke Horton said coldly.
"Lord Duke, I will close the door to thank you when I go back, but regarding this mission, there is actually an important secret that I need to report to you.
Why don't you get someone to clean up and let's sit down and talk slowly. "
"No need, if there is anything, write a report and submit it when you go back."
"Lord Duke, this matter is very important. It is related to the life and death of the empire. I must report to the Lord in person, and ask him to send someone to clean it up. It doesn't take too long, just give me half an hour."
"I said, go back and thank you behind closed doors! Are you trying to disobey?"
"… "
Pluto next to him listened to the words of the two of you, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and his head was a little dazed.
what are you doing
Isn't that just breaking a statue
One seems to be in a hurry to chase people, and the other seems to be reluctant to leave.
Alfonso took the wrong medicine today, how dare he contradict the Duke like this
And what do you mean by "cleaning up" in three sentences, and how much hatred is there against this statue
He stared blankly at the debris on the ground.
Seems like... it's the beginning of the anomaly
Being able to reach the commander level, Pluto is naturally not a fool, and yesterday, Viscount Iron Wall suddenly contacted him in a solemn tone and asked him to bring someone with him...
He was acutely aware that something was not right in today's situation.
"Lord Viscount, this is the cowardice stone."
At this moment, the entourage beside him suddenly stepped forward and whispered to Viscount Pluto.
Pluto was startled and looked at the debris on the ground again.
Cowardice Stone, as a rare special material, although he is not familiar with it, he has heard of its function.
Unexpectedly, the Duke's favorite ornament is actually made of this kind of thing.
Could this be the reason for the Duke's rage
"Okay, since the Duke insists, then I have one last question. I'll leave after asking."
"Speak!" Seeing that Viscount Tiebi didn't seem to insist anymore, Archduke Horton breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord Duke, I want to know, how did little Horton die?"
"Huh?" "Uh..."
A question about Viscount Tiebi's sudden jump made the atmosphere that had just eased a little suddenly become tense again.
"First Evolution"
Little Houghton, the grandson of Grand Duke Houghton, died in an accident many years ago, but there are also rumors that this incident seems to be related to the second prince.
"Alfonso! You are crazy!"
Brutal looked worried.
Little Houghton, this name is a taboo for the Duke, you are going to add fuel to the fire!
"What do you mean?" Duke Houghton's expression turned completely cold.
Not right! Very wrong!
From the moment he smashed the statue, Viscount Tiebi's behavior was strange.
Could it be... What does he really know
There was a slight throbbing in my heart, and things seemed to be developing in the worst direction...
Archduke Houghton made a sudden cryptic gesture with his hands behind his back.
After the intelligent defense system in the room recognized it, it silently entered the standby state...
"Lord Duke, my subordinates do not intend to offend, but not long ago, my subordinates heard an amazing rumor."
"Oh? What rumor?" Archduke Horton's eyes flickered.
Viscount Tiebi stared at Grand Duke Horton's eyes, and said word by word, "Spiritual charm!"
Archduke Horton was expressionless, but his pupils could not help shrinking, but there were already stormy waves in his heart!
"Alfonso, what spiritual charm? What are you talking about?" Pluto was at a loss.
"Spiritual charm is said to be an extremely rare spiritual ability, and those affected by it will unconsciously have a favorable impression on the caster, and even obey every word and act like a god!
But his behavior was the same as usual.
In other words, this is an extremely hidden mental ability that can manipulate others for a long time! "
Pluto was stunned, there is still such a mental ability in the world
and many more! Alfonso specially asked himself to find a mental capable person, and just smashed the stone sculpture made of the cowardice stone, and now he mentioned Little Horton...
Could it be... He actually suspected...
Pluto looked at Archduke Horton in shock.
