According to Charlie, Harry's confinement was nothing more than being locked up in the Duke's territory.

Since he was not locked up in a cell, Gu Xiaoyue didn't understand why he wanted to escape.

Even though Harry ran away, Charlie's attitude made her feel very strange.

"so what?"

Gu Xiaoyue stared at Charlie's eyes in confusion.

Charlie frowned slightly, his expression complicated and painful.

His eyes were vague, as if he had made a great decision before he slowly told the whole story.

It turns out that Charlie and his brothers' mother, Carmel, is a beast taming mercenary.

More than 20 years ago, Duke Howard's territory was invaded by a tide of beasts.

The Duke issued a bounty, hoping that a strong mercenary group could help resist the beast tide.

The Duke of Howard at the time was able to inherit the title for a short time thanks to his wife's aristocratic background.

Therefore, the strength of his subordinates was not enough to resist the beast tide, so they went to look for mercenaries.

The mercenary group that Carmel belonged to was closest to the territory where Duke Howard encountered the beast tide, so they accepted the bounty.

The Duke also fought with them personally.

During this period, the Duke and Carmela began a love affair.

Carmela knew that the Duke had a wife, and she only regarded this relationship as a life experience, and had no intention of asking the Duke to divorce and remarry.

After the beast tide passed, the Duke returned home and found out that his wife already had his child - Vincent.

It was only after Carmela left the Duke that she discovered that she also had a child.

At that time, Carmela stopped working as a mercenary for more than a year for the sake of her children.

She told everything to her best friend Ina.

Coincidentally, Ina had just become pregnant, and the sisters were taking care of each other during the pregnancy.

Carmela didn't know that Ina was a member of the Dark Night Baron bandit gang.

In order to make a living, she later returned to work in the mercenary group until she was killed in a fierce battle with a tide of beasts.

Harry and Charlie were only seven years old at the time.

She could accept Ina occasionally helping Carmela take care of the twin brothers.

But after Carmela's death, she couldn't take care of them all the time.

So he chose to return them to the Duke and placed his son Brown next to Harry.

"You mean, Harry and Brown are the Night Baron's men?"

Gu Xiaoyue recalled the day of the battle with Old Hand, the two masked men whose figures were 90% similar to Charlie.

In fact, she later suspected that the two masked men were Harry and Brown.

But she couldn't be sure without evidence.

She looked at Charlie who was keeping his head down and continued to ask, "You knew long ago that Harry was colluding with the bandits and wanted to kill you?"

Charlie raised his head in grief and anger, tears seeming to well up in his eyes.

"No! He just wants the key to the secret realm! He doesn't want to kill me!"

Gu Xiaoyue felt her blood pressure rising, and she took a deep breath.

"Okay, he just wanted to go to the secret realm of the Snow Mountain. Did he do anything to Vincent?"

Charlie's expression froze. He didn't know—

“From what you described before, the Duke is fair.

For you and Vincent, whether it’s the Hanxing Grass or the key to the Snow Mountain Secret Realm, everything is treated equally.

even--"

Gu Xiaoyue paused and did not mention that even the shadow guards might be assigned similarly.

If Harry also has a shadow guard, then the Duke might also know about his membership in the Night Barons Bandit Group, or -

Harry's shadow guard is also one of the dark night boy group!

This would explain why he was able to escape successfully under the supervision of the royal family!

Harry didn't want to be trapped in the Duke's mansion. Since he couldn't inherit the title, he might as well let himself go.

The reason he ran away was that he lived a free and easy life with the bandits.

"Harry should have no chance of getting a knighthood now."

Gu Xiaoyue paused for a moment, "Didn't Vincent's mother express her opinion?"

Since Vincent's mother played a big role in Duke Howard's succession to the title, it shouldn't be a problem to secure Vincent as the next Duke.

"She died before Harry and I were sent back.

Although there were some voices supporting Vincent, my father didn’t care. ”

Gu Xiaoyue nodded. The Duke had no love for his wife because the marriage was a political one. He loved Carmel, but felt guilty towards Harry and Charlie.

Therefore, when he has the power firmly in his hands, no voice can shake his decision!

Compared to Charlie, the Duke's preferred heir to the title is probably Harry.

Perhaps he had already seen through Harry's nonchalant appearance, but in fact he was thirsting for power.

And his unscrupulousness is probably inherited from the Duke.

It's just that Harry's tricks were exposed by himself and brought to light.

How could the British Royal Family allow Harry to do something that would damage the diplomatic relations between the two countries!

Gu Xiaoyue looked at Charlie in front of her, who was as innocent as a puppy. He must have inherited more from his mother, being kind and harmless.

“Now that Harry has returned to the Night Baron, it will be useless for you to worry.

If the Duke has no special instructions, then just wait. No matter what the result is, I will do what I promised you. "

When Charlie used the key to the secret realm of the snowy mountains as a bargaining chip, she promised him that even if she couldn't help him win the title, she would take him to the secret realm to ensure Charlie's future life.

"Or, you can consider settling down in Dragon Country. There are delicious food and beautiful Dragon Country girls!"

She made a joke to Charlie, who had a sad face, to lighten the atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, Charlie actually replied, "I thought so too!"

Now it was Gu Xiaoyue who was smiling bitterly, because it turned out that the clown was herself.

The atmosphere eased a little, and Gu Xiaoyue went to the official to submit the list of candidates for the individual competition.

Unexpectedly, on the way, she met Duan Yao and Chu Li arguing with each other.

"You said the Yellow Dragon is yours, summon it out for me to see!"

Duan Yao grabbed the corner of Chu Li's clothes and refused to let go. Chu Li pulled her away, but she grabbed his sleeves again.

"I don't want to summon, it's none of your business! Please stay away from me!"

Chu Li saw Gu Xiaoyue from afar, and used all his strength to shake off Duan Yao and walked quickly towards Gu Xiaoyue.

Duan Yao chased after him, "Stop! I haven't finished yet!"

Chu Li stood beside Gu Xiaoyue, curling his lips impatiently.

"I have nothing to say to you."

Duan Yao blocked their way and kept asking.

"I just want you to prove that Huang Long is your pet. Is that difficult?"

Chu Li sighed helplessly and rolled his eyes.

"If I say yes, then yes! Besides, whether it's my pet or not, what does it have to do with you?"

Duan Yao looked at Gu Xiaoyue with some caution.

"You guys chat, I have something to do and I'll leave first."

Gu Xiaoyue saw that Duan Yao wanted to talk to Chu Li alone, but she happened to be going to the official site to submit the list and didn't want to get involved in their affairs.

Chu Li instead grabbed Gu Xiaoyue's hand and prevented her from leaving.

"Xiao Yue is not an outsider, you can say whatever you want!"

Duan Yao's face turned grim and he cleared his throat.

"Since you said Huang Long is your pet, then I will go and ask the Duan family's Patriarch to propose marriage to the Chu family!"
