The rising sun sprinkled warm sunlight, gradually waking up Luldry.
The first civilians to learn of Warren's victory have returned today.
As a matter of fact, there were people guarding the city gate last night, and the moment the gate of Luldry opened, they couldn't wait to rush in, wanting to return to their homeland.
Mary stood in the morning sun, looking at the joyful civilians, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
She likes to see such a sight.
But she also knew what was hiding under the sight.
Gang members with ulterior motives.
Genre people with esoteric situations.
And the most hated spies.
However, Mary will not give up eating because of choking.
"Engage everyone who enters the city."
"Their names, addresses, and family members must be recorded in detail."
Mary ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The clerk next to him bowed and acted quickly.
After the clerk left, Mary walked down the walls, boarded a carriage, and returned to Warren Palace.
In the morning, she needs to go to the kitchen.
…
Qin Ran approached Aida Le's room slowly, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Come in."
After the rhythmic knock on the door came the sonorous voice of the old earl.
However, when he saw that it was Qin Ran who opened the door, the old earl immediately frowned, showing displeasure on his face.
Qin Ran saw this look, but he didn't care.
He can't please everyone.
Nor can it do everything.
What he can do is to do his best to let the people he approves live in safety. If he can be happy, that would be even better.
And the old earl in front of him
It was obvious that they did not belong to the people that Kieran recognized.
Therefore, Kieran ignored the other party's expression, pulled out the chair on one side, and sat opposite the other party, with a dining table in between.
On the table lay the old earl's breakfast.
Touching the honey, the slices of bread baked until golden, the fragrant milk, and a vegetable.
No eggs and no meat.
It fits the other party's age very well.
"I didn't invite you to sit down."
The old earl picked up the milk, took a sip, and said very bluntly.
"I don't need your invitation."
"You are not the master here."
Qin Ran said slowly.
"Nor are you."
The old count sneered.
"But at least I have no ill will towards the master here."
Qin Ran still spoke slowly.
"Malicious?"
"I also don't have one. Moreover, the owner of this place you said is not the real owner. The real owner of this place is my friend James."
"She's very early."
A sneer appeared on the old count's face.
"It's getting late, soon."
Qin Ran responded without changing his tone.
boom!
The old earl put the milk glass heavily on the dining table, and the knife and fork on the table moved back and forth, making a metallic sound.
The resentful gaze pierced towards Qin Ran like a long sword.
Obviously, if eyes could kill, Qin Ran would have been torn to pieces long ago.
But this is impossible.
The old earl did not have such ability, nor did he have such strength.
In the end, he could only look away and continue to drink milk, gulping it down. Amidst the gurgling sound, the old earl kept chewing, as if he was tearing and biting the flesh and blood of the hateful man in front of him.
As for the rebuttal
He had examined his friend's body, and the court doctor had also examined it.
Years of overwork and sickness, the body has long been hollowed out.
Fatigue not only became the cause of James VIII's defeat, but also became the murderer who took the life of His Majesty the King.
What Qin Ran said was the truth, and he had no way to refute it.
But it was precisely because of this that he felt that Qin Ran was even more hateful.
"James, who entrusted the whole country to you, should really see what you look like now."
Said the old count.
This was what James VIII revealed during the conversation yesterday. Kieran had obtained a detailed conversation process from the high-ranking evil spirit 'Bloody Mary'.
However, this does not mean that he will admit it.
"It's Mary that he puts his trust in."
"not me."
Qin Ran emphasized.
"Mary?"
The old count frowned again, with sarcasm in his tone.
When referring to the underage princess, the old earl always had innate discrimination. Kieran didn't like this feeling very much. Not only was he a good friend of Mary, he didn't want to see such discrimination and prejudice, but also because Such discrimination and prejudice always reminded him of the extremely unpleasant experiences he had experienced.
So, next, Qin Ran's words became cold.
"Put away your current face."
"You should know who you are sitting here with a good breakfast at the moment."
"You should thank Mary for her kindness."
"If it wasn't for her, your body would have appeared in the gutter long ago."
The words were like knives, stabbing the old earl hard.
It was also like a cold wind, which made the old earl tremble.
The difference in strength, even if Qin Ran only showed a trace of aura, it was not something the other party could resist.
But more importantly, Qin Ran's words are still true!
The old earl never doubted Qin Ran's cruelty!
And never doubted that Qin Ran would kill him without hesitation!
The reason why he is still alive is because of Mary. This is an indisputable fact, and it is also the most painful thing for him.
He was saved by the person he despises and despises the most.
Such a fact made the old earl extremely uncomfortable.
Whew, wheeze.
Heavy breathing sounded, the old earl's face was flushed, and his chest kept rising and falling, making anyone who saw it guess whether the other party would explode in the next moment.
"Now you have a chance to repay this favor."
"I wish to know the secrets of Warren Palace."
"Some unpleasant things happened last night. Someone pretending to be the Ape Faction or the Snake Faction entered the Warren Palace, looking for something."
"I don't know much about Warren Palace, and I don't want to find that thing in other ways, so I hope you can tell me."
Qin Ran truthfully told the old earl what happened last night.
"Someone pretending to be the Ape School or the Snake School?"
"Secrets of Warren Palace..."
"Could it be?!"
The old earl was taken aback for a moment, his face was puzzled at first, and then the old earl frowned when he thought of something.
Far worse than any previous frown, the brows on both sides seemed to be locked together.
For two full minutes, the old earl didn't say a word.
Qin Ran did not urge.
He has enough patience to wait.
Before coming to look for the old earl, he had already thought of all the countermeasures.
And now it looks like
Still very good.
The other party did not refuse outright, which is what Qin Ran wanted to see.
After another few minutes, the old count took a deep breath and made a decision.
"I can tell you the secret!"
"But you can't disturb James, and you can't destroy Warren Palace!"
The other side made their own demands.
"certainly."
Qin Ran nodded slowly.
"The secret is about..." nt
