Obold, who had released the pigeon, returned to the room.

Unexpected changes made the Marquis feel restless.

After several consecutive deep breaths did not change the situation, the Marquis began to adopt a more direct and effective method.

From the cabinet in the corner of the room, a crystal bottle the size of an adult man's thumb was carefully taken out by the Marquis.

Then, with a more careful gesture, he peeled off the cork.

Then, His Excellency the Marquis put the crystal bottle to his mouth.

As soon as he raised his neck, about half of the transparent liquid in the crystal bottle entered the mouth of the marquis.

call! Hoo hoo!

After swallowing the liquid medicine, His Excellency the Marquis began to take deep breaths again, but unlike before, with these few deep breaths, the impatience on the other party's face completely disappeared, leaving only a sense of relief and comfort. The expression on his face can even be said to be...

Be ecstatic!

The whole process lasted only a few seconds. The Marquis twisted the stopper reluctantly, and put the crystal bottle into the cabinet again.

"The potion of the Yousen school is really good."

"pity… "

"Can't be used often."

Thinking of the warning from the secluded 'Dole', the Marquis shook his head regretfully.

If possible, he hopes to enjoy this way of relaxation every day... no, every moment.

"If I am in power, I must give more support to the Yousen faction and let them develop this potion to the extreme!"

Involuntarily, such a thought arose in the heart of His Excellency the Marquis.

At the same time, he also heard the sound of swallowing saliva.

Turning his head, His Excellency the Marquis saw a black figure.

The face of the other party was very unfamiliar, yet somewhat familiar.

But what concerned the Marquis the most was the way the other party kept swallowing and wiping his saliva, as well as the gaze of the beast when it was preying.

"Who are you?"

"you… "

Subconsciously, His Excellency the Marquis sternly asked.

Unfortunately, before His Excellency the Marquis finished asking, the black figure pushed him away, took the crystal bottle in his hand again, and threw it into his mouth together with the crystal bottle.

With a crunching sound, the crystal bottle was completely chewed, and the liquid in it flowed into the stomach of 'Gluttony'.

Then…

Cough, cough, cough!

"Unpalatable!"

"Extremely unpalatable!"

Coughing violently, 'Gluttony' opened his mouth and spit out all the liquid medicine including the crystal bottle.

For the first time, 'gluttony' experienced the feeling that it was hard to swallow.

Even, there is a slight sense of vomiting.

This kind of feeling is unfamiliar to 'Gluttony', and he absolutely does not want to try it again, and incidentally, there is also anger towards His Majesty the Marquis in front of him.

Obold watched all this dumbfounded.

It wasn't until 'Gluttony' cast his gaze again that His Excellency the Marquis finally came to his senses.

"Don't come here!"

"me… "

His Excellency the Marquis screamed.

Also like a little girl.

But different from the simple little girl, the scream of the marquis is hoping to attract the attention of the hidden guards around.

It's just that if he broke his throat, he wouldn't attract anyone's attention.

Especially those sleeping guards.

That's right, deep sleep!

A kind of deep sleep that completely falls asleep and will not be woken up at all.

'Lazy' squinted his eyes and leaned against the wall, the warm sunlight made him yawn involuntarily.

"It's so warm."

"Very comfortable."

"I really want to sleep."

A raving sound sounded, and the 'lazy' leaning against the wall completely collapsed on the ground, as if he couldn't help being sleepy and wanted to fall asleep.

In fact, the next moment the snoring started.

It's not 'lazy', and it's not the guards who are already asleep, but a figure that just appeared in the shadows.

Tattered robes, with a slight stench.

Suddenly, a bunch of bugs fell from the robe.

Each of them curled up or stretched out, without exception, fell into a deep sleep.

'Laziness' just slumped on the ground like mud, looking at the attacker who was not surprised, he kept muttering: "It's so troublesome! I really want to sleep in the sun!"

The murmurs were full of complaints.

But in the end 'lazy' got up staggeringly, and walked towards another street.

There was more than one attacker.

It's all up to him to deal with.

As for 'gluttony'

'Lazy' doesn't expect this guy who doesn't care about anything but eating to be able to help, although the best plan is for him to deal with this, and 'Gluttony' to deal with everything else around.

But after the Lord Marquis took out the drinkable liquid, 'Gluttony' rushed into the room uncontrollably, completely disrupting his plan.

"It's too far away."

"And the other one?"

"It's too much!"

"Sure enough, am I just working hard?"

"Why is this? Fate is really unfair."

'Laziness' muttered again, and the pace of progress became more and more slow, but those secluded people who were hiding in Luldree fell asleep one by one before 'laziness' approached.

Warren Palace, Council Hall.

Mary was sitting by the throne, bowing her head on the desk in front of her, drafting a new document.

Although most of the time, such work is done by the clerk, but this time it represents a completely different meaning.

It has to be done by herself.

This is the insistence of the underage princess.

The old Earl Adalle wanted to say something else, but before he opened his mouth, Mary stopped him.

"Count Adal, please don't say anything that embarrasses me."

"From the bottom of my heart, I respect you because of what you have done for Warren, and because you are a true nobleman."

"But at the same time, I also know that 2567 pays!"

"You treat my father the same as 2567 treats me."

"And I'd never let someone who trusted me so much... down."

Mary didn't look up, and the quill quickly wrote the beautiful and sharp words.

The old count looked at the words that appeared one after another, and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces in front of him, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing.

compromise.

Facing such Mary, the old count compromised.

With a sigh, the old earl gestured to the silent Earl Shirin.

Immediately, a chair was brought over.

In the council hall of the royal palace, very few people were qualified to sit down, not even Earl Shirin of this generation.

However, this does not include the old earl.

Both because of age, but also because of merit.

"Here you need to make a slight change. 2567 is not yet able to represent the Warren royal family. Even if he becomes the regent, the queen is still you. Therefore, you need to clarify your position. You must tell everyone that those who have been deprived of their status , what did the nobles with titles do."

The old earl, who was sitting in a chair and watching Mary's writing, suddenly spoke.

Mary raised her head slightly in surprise, glanced at the old count, and then, the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a faint smile.

"Thanks."

The underage princess sincerely thanked her.

"unnecessary!"

"I'm for the Warren royal family, and James, not you."

The old earl snorted, but he was not stingy with his advice.

With a good education from her mother, it was still too much effort for Mary to draft such a document, but after the old earl joined, the process became much smoother.

About twenty minutes later, a complete document with no holes in the wording appeared.

Mary rubbed her fingers and handed the document to the old earl.

The old earl was taken aback for a moment, then snorted again, then took over the document and began to examine it carefully.

No one will hinder such inspections.

Even Mary and the young earl held their breath, trying not to disturb the old earl.

Therefore, when some sounds came, it was extremely obvious.

Squeak!

The sound of pushing the door sounded, and the eyes of the three people in the hall instantly turned to each other.

Then, the three of them were taken aback.

They all looked at the familiar figure at the door with incredulous eyes.
