Earl Adalle, who was preparing to tell Qin Ran everything, was brewing up his emotions, but was almost choked by Qin Ran's straightforward refusal.
"Cough cough."
The old man coughed several times in a row, and after adjusting his emotions with great effort, he once again looked at the young man in front of him with scrutiny.
The mature temperament has long covered the immature face, and there are almost rigid habits in every word and deed. Even if he is sitting there, his back is as straight as a javelin.
If you don't look at the face carefully, but only look at the back, you will think you have met a middle-aged man with a good family background and a well-behaved person.
But the young man in front of him has restraint that those middle-aged people don't have!
Take a look at the room in front of you.
Young people with a little ability would not live in such a room.
Not to mention the guys with good backgrounds.
They may have shown kindness and humility in normal times.
But the arrogance hidden in the eyes is innate, and it will be manifested unconsciously in all aspects, forming a gap like a natural barrier with ordinary people, and inadvertently using it to set off one's own extraordinaryness.
For such a guy, Adaler has seen too many.
But what about Qin Ran
But he was content with it, without the slightest complaint.
Count Adalle looked at the other party's indifferent face and eyes, and couldn't help sighing.
Because, he once again thought of Qin Ran's strength.
He has heard of that kind of powerful strength, and he has also seen it with his own eyes.
One man against one army!
Standing there and letting an army feel like retreating, not everyone can do it.
"You are different from ordinary people."
"Whether it's your peers, or someone older than you, you're different from them."
"The way of thinking."
"The habit of doing things."
"You have your principles..."
"You must have experienced something in the past, otherwise you would not be what you are now. I am very curious about what you have experienced."
"However, you probably won't tell me."
The old man sighed slightly.
Qin Ran didn't pay attention to the other party's words at all.
The old man's guess about him, as long as he is a normal person, he can guess.
Total nonsense.
Listening to such nonsense, it is far more interesting to think about what kind of supper Mary will prepare for him.
In fact, Kieran did the same.
Sitting there, his eyes began to appear a little erratic, and the wings of his nose kept loosening.
Kieran hoped to use his powerful perception to smell the food.
The old count looked at Qin Ran's movements and was taken aback again.
He didn't understand what Qin Ran was doing.
But that didn't stop him from continuing.
"Originally, I had some concerns about telling you this secret."
"But your performance, let me know that I am worrying too much."
"you… "
"When stewing meat, you should add more soup."
"A little more heat."
Qin Ran's sudden words brought the old earl's words to an abrupt end.
Even if he was a fool, the old earl understood what Qin Ran was doing just now.
"Food is really nothing compared to the secrets I'm about to tell you."
The old count said seriously.
"The secret you're about to tell me is nothing compared to food."
Qin Ran also answered seriously.
Then, Qin Ran turned his head and looked at the other party.
He knew that if he didn't speak clearly with the other party, he would face this chattering old man when he was eating later.
In order not to delay the delicacy of the food, Kieran said.
"Thank you for trusting me."
"But I really don't want to know the secret of His Majesty James VIII."
"He still has a daughter."
"His daughter is still my friend."
"I would love to help my friend, but I don't think a conversation like this should jump past Mary."
Qin Ran's very formal tone stunned the old Earl Aida again.
"Is that why you refused?"
"Because I was looking for you and jumped over Mary?"
The old earl asked in disbelief.
"Um."
"I am friends with Mary, so I should respect her existence."
"She has a better right to know this than I do."
Qin Ran nodded.
"But you are more qualified than her to take on everything."
The old count frowned.
"Eligibility has never been decided by anyone."
"It exists by itself."
"Moreover, it has never surpassed the inheritance of surname, blood and will."
Qin Ran said, stood up and opened the door.
"Mary will bring my supper soon, do you choose to leave?"
"Or find an appropriate time to tell her everything?"
"When I say the right time, it definitely doesn't include when I'm having supper later."
Qin Ran emphasized.
"What a strange man."
The old earl shook his head with a wry smile, and walked out the door.
Two minutes after the old earl left, Mary appeared with a plate. The aroma of food brought by the other party made Kieran involuntarily approach him, and then took a deep breath.
"Beef, large steaks, lettuce and corn."
Qin Ran squinted his eyes and said, with a kind of satisfaction on his face that ordinary people can't understand.
"Braised oxtail."
"Grilled steak."
"Corn Lettuce Soup."
Mary looked at Qin Ran who was close at hand, and couldn't help but blushed, but immediately placed the food on the only table in the room as if offering a treasure.
And Qin Ran was not polite.
In other words, when eating, Qin Ran never knew what politeness was.
Just like when fighting, he likes to focus on offense.
When eating, he was also full of aggression.
Both his own and 'gluttony'.
five minutes!
Enough food for three people, all wiped out.
"Better than expected."
"I never knew you had such cooking skills."
Qin Ran said with a little surprise.
"As the heir of Swartburg, one must not only learn martial arts."
Mary picked up the tableware, winked at Qin Ran, and briskly returned to the kitchen.
It was surprising for the princess to enter the kitchen, not to mention cleaning the tableware, but for the heir of Swartburg, it was nothing more than normal.
Qin Ran looked at Mary's back and couldn't help smiling.
But immediately, he restrained his smile.
Because, he heard footsteps.
Soon, the old earl appeared again.
The other party stood in front of the open door, first knocked on the door, and then said with a smile: "Good evening, Your Excellency 2567."
"I think I've made it clear enough."
Qin Ran frowned.
He was unwilling to entangle with the old earl in front of him.
He doesn't have that free time.
It is not enough to let Mary change from a princess to a queen within 30 days.
"Yes, you made it very clear."
"So, I plan to tell you a secret related to you as a thank you."
"About Snake Pie."
The other party said, and walked into the room.
The door that opened, then closed.
