"Father!"
When he saw this scene, the second son of the old earl couldn't bear it any longer, he climbed on the coffin, and burst into tears.
The eldest son of the old earl frowned.
He walked to his younger brother calmly, patted his younger brother lightly on the shoulder, and then turned to Mary and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, Peters lost his composure because of his father's death."
"Um."
Mary looked at the blood in the coffin, and nodded noncommittally.
The blood is so fresh.
There is no sense of solidification.
There is no stiffness in the joints or muscles.
As if he had just died.
When Mary looked at the corpse, the knowledge taught by her mother Ailian came to mind bit by bit, and then she looked at Qin Ran.
In the eyes, there is disbelief.
"Fantasy is beautiful."
"the reality is cruel."
"But sometimes, the reality is far more cruel than imagined."
Qin Ran touched the head of the underage princess, pointed to the coffin, and continued: "Not long before we came in, the people here were alive."
"Because he was nervous, he kept pacing here."
"But this did not relieve his tension at all. On the contrary, everything outside made him more uneasy."
"He kind of regretted it."
"But I can't make up my mind to fight to the death."
"Especially when he was crawling on the ground in the invisible breath, he felt desperate, and he needed to find some comfort."
"It happens to be..."
"There it is."
"Alcohol is very suitable for soothing his mood at the moment. He uncorked the bottle without hesitation and drank the wine in the bottle."
"Then his son came in."
"Facing his son, he is still at a loss, but his son has long been determined."
"What else can be called a thing but death?"
"No."
"And when it comes to your own death..."
"How important it is to be able to survive. It's so important that family affection doesn't matter."
Qin Ran's voice was calm, but the things he narrated were somewhat unacceptable.
Or rather, shudder.
"Your Excellency 2567, what are you talking about?"
"My father died a long time ago, so how could what you said happen?"
The eldest son of the old earl roared angrily.
At this time, the other party behaved like a brave man.
Because, when the other party faced a strong man with one man against one army, he maintained the courage he should have.
Award-worthy.
It would have been nice if it hadn't been for being aggressive.
When Qin Ran glanced over, the other party immediately bowed his knees again.
"Sorry, Your Excellency 2567."
"I because of my father's death..."
"The wine bottles that fell to the ground were broken, and you didn't have more time to sort them out, so you hid them all under the coffin."
"In order to cover up the smell of wine, you deliberately took out the offering wine and placed it in the most conspicuous place."
"Let people who enter here see it at a glance, and subconsciously think that the smell of wine is coming from there."
Qin Ran interrupted the other party's words.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
The eldest son of the old earl growled again.
This time, the other party's face turned hideous because of the low growl.
"have no idea?"
"it does not matter."
"Take the old earl's hand away. You have time to dispose of the wine bottle fragments, but you don't have time to change your father's clothes. At most, you can take a coat to cover him, but on his inner clothes, the marks pierced by the sword are still there. Will stay."
"And the most important thing: your sword."
"Are you sure you wiped your sword clean?"
"You wiped off the blood, but can you change the sword marks left on Old Earl Will?"
Qin Ran's voice remained calm.
But in such an indifferent voice, the eldest son of the old earl trembled.
Especially when the old earl's second son found the broken wine bottle from under the coffin, picked up the old earl's hand, and saw the sword marks from under his coat.
"Brother, brother, can you show me your sword?"
The second son of the old earl said so.
The voice trembled to the point of stammering.
"You trust an outsider."
"Don't believe me?"
"I am your brother!"
The eldest son of the old earl roared loudly.
Facing his elder brother's roar, the second son was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then, just as he was taken aback, the eldest son of the old earl drew out his long sword straight away.
Clang!
Amidst the resounding sound of the long sword being unsheathed, the blade with faint blood stains was placed on the neck of the old earl's second son.
The eldest son of the old earl held his sword and hid behind his younger brother.
"Why?"
The second son of the old earl looked at the faint blood on the blade, as if his entire soul had been extracted, he murmured in a low voice.
"Why?"
"Do you know what father was going to do just now?"
"He wants to use himself and me to beg His Highness's forgiveness, and he leaves the whole of Wilshire to you!"
"Why?"
"I also want to ask why?"
"I've done so much, and I've thought about everything, but what about you?"
"Enjoy everything my father and I have brought to you. You can live a carefree life. Every time you get into trouble, you need my father and me to come forward to solve it for you."
"But it's you who let him leave Wilshire to you at the last moment!"
The eldest son of the old earl yelled at his younger brother.
Then he looked at Mary.
"Your Highness, please step aside."
"Please tell Your Excellency 2567 not to make a move."
"I want to get out of here!"
"As soon as I can get out of here, I will let Peters go."
The eldest son of the old earl shouted like this.
Subconsciously, the adults in the surrounding south gave way.
Mary and Qin Ran didn't move.
The underage princess frowned and looked at the eldest son of the old earl with disgust.
Qin Ran's expression didn't change a bit.
"I think you're getting three things wrong."
"First, your father took you to ask Mary for forgiveness. In a stable situation, Mary will not punish you severely in the true sense, at most she will imprison you; and after losing the two of you, only the threat of the second son remains. The Er family is obviously a piece of fat, and everyone present will inevitably be tempted."
"As long as they are tempted, based on your brother's reaction, they will definitely fall into the disadvantaged, seek help everywhere, and then be eaten everywhere."
"Things will naturally reach Mary's ears. Whether it's Mary's character or for the stability of the south, Mary has a great possibility to let your father go, or you to come out."
Qin Ran's indifferent tone made the hand of the elder earl's eldest son tremble.
On the spur of the moment, he didn't think of these.
And at this time, even if he thought about it, he would only regret it.
Gritting his teeth, the eldest son of the old earl panted heavily.
"What about the second?"
The eldest son of the old earl asked rather unwillingly.
He wanted to know what other mistakes he had made.
"second?"
"You took your brother hostage..."
"But he has nothing to do with me!"
After the words fell, Qin Ran's figure disappeared in place.
The eldest son of the old earl panicked, but before he could make a move, Kieran had already appeared behind him.
Crash!
The crow feather windbreaker that fluttered because of the rapid advance slowly fell down.
The eldest son of the old earl looked at the empty palm in disbelief, a line of blood spread from his neck.
puff!
The blood sprayed, the head flew high and fell heavily.
"Third, you overestimate your own strength."
With a flick of his hand, the blood on the blade drew a bright red streak on the ground. Qin Ran, who returned to Mary's side at some point, spoke slowly.
