What to do if your crush is the Earl

Just then Caesar came in from outside.

"Xiao Sheng? Why are you here?" The child ran over, grabbed his back from behind, and looked forward.

Xiao Sheng pulled the little golden curly hair off his back, and said seriously: "Caesar, tell me, where did this tamu come from?"

Seeing that Xiao Sheng was serious, Caesar stopped playing, blinked his eyes, and said, "I found it in that box."

Xiao Sheng looked in the direction Caesar pointed, and there was a small wooden box inlaid with gold ornaments quietly in the corner.

Xiao Sheng walked over, the wooden box was not locked, and with a light lift, the contents inside were exposed in front of his eyes.

It was empty, except for grass clippings on the floor.

"Is that what's in there?"

Caesar nodded.

"What happened to Xiao Sheng?"

"It's okay." Xiao Sheng said.His eyes were a little out of focus and fell in mid-air.

The words the old man said when he rescued his father from the prison suddenly broke into his mind: "Have you found your brother?"

At that time, my father said while looking at the back of Mr.

At that time, no one took it seriously, thinking that the old man had a problem with his thinking.But now it seems...

But isn't sir the youngest son of the old earl? ? ?

what happened?

Did Xiao Mang really not die 20 years ago?

-----

On the outskirts of Fancheng.

The flames of war are raging.

The Fancheng barracks set up an ambush pre-emptively, catching the foreign enemy troops by surprise.

The enemy army is only a forward force, so Fancheng's side also has the highest number of people.

The first battle was basically an overwhelming victory.

While clearing the battlefield, Nona meets Martin.

"The situation is temporarily under control."

"En." Martin nodded, and then looked in the direction of the palace.

"Are you worried about Your Highness?"

"Here, can you keep it?"

Nona looked at him with a smile: "No problem. Let's go."

There was also chaos in the palace.

Martin, Riel and five nimble knights waited at the main entrance for a while. The soldiers coming and going were heavily guarded, but they were all unfamiliar faces, and it was impossible to determine which side they were from.

The two youths looked at each other, and Martin made a roundabout gesture.

Everyone left the gate of the main palace and detoured to the large forest in the back garden of the palace.

Coniferous pine forests and apple forests are layered on top of each other, high and low, and there are soft fallen leaves that have accumulated for many years under your feet. There is a rustling sound when you step on it, but as long as you slow down, you will be very hidden.

The management here is also very loose, and almost no one will come here.After climbing over a high wall with iron wires, everyone arrived at the core area of ​​the back garden of the imperial palace.The bedroom of princes and kings.

The green forest is a very good shelter. Several people spread out, hid behind the bushes, and observed the surrounding situation.

It was too quiet.

Then there was a situation where all the people in the inner court of the palace were taken away.

As for where it was locked, in this palace, there is no place more suitable than the abandoned dungeon.

Martin and Riel split into two shares.

Separate and head towards the dungeon.

The entrance to the dungeon is at the altar behind the Imperial Palace's Crystal Palace, and the enemy's hands must be on the way.

Martin is first-rate in fighting and dancing, but his stealth skills are not very good.

"Who's there??!" After a sharp shout, the footsteps got closer and closer.

Martin was stunned, and Riel in the distance was also stunned. In a blink of an eye, Martin, who was closer, turned over and rolled out.

Riel had no choice but to bend down even lower, crawled over the corner of the corridor, and continued to approach the dungeon.

As long as they entered the dungeon, they could get in touch with the king and His Highness, and they would have a way to control the current situation.

Martin's words, the identity is there, probably nothing will happen.

"Master Sade??"

The other party was obviously surprised to see him.

Blue half-length shattered hair, exquisite and beautiful facial features, and a slender body wrapped in armor.

"Antoine?" Martin's blue eyes narrowed slightly, "I didn't expect it to be you?"

Behind Antoine were surrounded by dozens of soldiers, not something they could fight.So it's best to be reasonable.

The implication is that I didn't expect you to betray me too.

"Does your lord know me well?" The blue-haired youth asked with a smile.

"At least I know that your heart for Bremen is true." Martin said.

Antoine was stunned for a moment, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, his expression seemed angry or angry, sad or happy, and finally fell silent: "Maybe my lord still doesn't know the origin of everything? Since everyone is here, how about Shall we sit down and have a cup of tea?"

"whats the matter??"

"The matter of the Battle of Hugang, my matter, and your brother Owen's matter." Antoine smiled, as if he had agreed that Martin would agree.

In fact, Martin did agree.

The pursuit of the truth is always an obsession engraved in his bones.

The outskirts of Fancheng are full of smoke and dust, and the flames of war are hazy.

Antoine and the others came to the tallest tower in the palace.

Here is the largest warning bell in Fancheng. When the palace falls, this bell will be finally rung.

In the past three hundred years, the empire has suffered many hardships, but the empire's army has finally resisted the cleansing by foreigners, and the blood of the royal family has been able to continue from generation to generation.

"I was originally the son of an ordinary farmer in a border town." Antoine said.

Martin looked at him without saying a word.

"But then the conscription order came down in the Northland. My father went to join the army." An Tuowan sat down on the stone steps and looked at the red clouds in the distance. , but the family can also receive a subsidy from the Chief’s Mansion, a month’s salary, not much, but enough for our family to eat and drink.”

Antoine glanced at Martin who was standing upright, and continued: "Then one day, the news of the victory of the battle came from the village. Originally, this had nothing to do with us civilians, but the chief of the Governor's Mansion deliberately went out to please his superiors. There was a celebratory dinner, even our village had one, and anyone could go in and have a good meal. So there was a lot of joy everywhere.

We were even happier knowing that the winning team was my dad's alliance.

But what no one expected was that we looked forward to the stars and the moon, and waited for my father's return. In the end, we only waited for it. It was just an obituary with the news of my father's death written coldly on it...

...Later, later on, I also joined the army.Maybe it's the cycle of cause and effect.I learned the truth about my father's death, and guess what? "

Antoine looked at Martin with a smile.

"The battle you are talking about is the battle of Hugang?"

Antoine didn't say yes or no, but continued: "The victory is just a pretense on the surface of the empire, and the actual loss is not in their consideration-because it can be said that it is a sacrifice for the empire, and it is glorious. superior."

Martin frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, my lord, I haven't gotten to the point yet." Antoine turned around with a smile and said, "Didn't you always want to know why Bremen wanted to kill Owen?"

Martin frowned slightly: "You know?"

"Yes, not only do I know, but I also have the most right to speak on this matter." Antoine said, "My lord, you might as well recall, seven years ago, what was the relationship between you and your brother?"

what relationship?

Owen is the eldest son of the Sade family, the future heir to the title; while Odin at that time was just a poor illegitimate child.

There is no mother's family, no relatives, and even the only blood relative, father and brother, are not close.

It was someone who sowed discord in Odin's ear, telling him that the dispute between brothers was bound to be life and death.That's why I had nightmares at night, often dreaming that I was assassinated by various methods, sweating profusely.While staying in the palace, he was bumped into by Bremen once and asked why.

He came one by one.At the end, it seems to say that if there is no such brother, it will be fine.

Bremen reassured him at the time that everything would be fine.

"What was the relationship between you and Your Highness then?"

what relationship?

Odin's only companion-like existence before he reached adulthood.The only one who can tell his heart.

Martin seemed to understand what Antoine meant: "You mean..."

Antoine had a cold smile in his eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Is it because of me... Bremen...?!"

"Brothers are fighting to the death. Your Highness is trying to find a way forward for you."

Martin was taken aback.

Knowing that it was Breman who did it before, he speculated that it had something to do with the political situation.Perhaps it would be more beneficial for the empire to let him control the power of the Sade family.But I didn't expect that it was for him?

How ridiculous.

Even though he hated and loathed him as a young man, it never occurred to him that Owen should actually die.

Never thought about it?

Until now, he couldn't tell whether he had ever confided this terrible thought to Bremen in extreme pain.

Have you ever?

Martin closed his eyes.

By accident, he was the one who hated him, and he was the one who loathed him. Bremen acted for him, how much right did he have to condemn?

The blame is the blame, step by step, misunderstanding after misunderstanding, and finally paying wrongly, making things difficult.

Whether it is right or wrong is not important now.

dungeon.

The soldiers of the two factions fought.

His Majesty's direct soldiers and soldiers who betrayed the empire and defected to the national division.

Riel and the others took advantage of the chaos to rescue Bremen from the dungeon.

The king is not in the dungeon, and has been missing.

Breman gathered more and more of his original subordinates, escorting them all the way out.

"Where's Odin? Where is he?"

Riel looked a little confused: "He was captured by the enemy."

"How could it be!?" Breman was so angry that he swung his sword and stabbed to death a rebel who broke through the barriers and rushed up.

"The situation is forcing him. He will be fine." Riel said, "His Royal Highness, we should go outside the palace now and join Major General Nona and the others. That is the safest way. If we go back and look for them, we don't know how many more we will meet." Rebels."

Breman smiled and looked at him: "I heard that you used to have a good relationship with Odin?"

Both of them knew exactly what level this 'very good' was.

But Riel didn't know why His Royal Highness suddenly brought up this topic, and only said: "You can't hide it from Your Highness."

"Then why can't it be compared to my 'ordinary friend'?" Breman laughed, pointed his sword at the sky, and shouted, "—give me an order to go back to the palace and rescue Earl Sade!"

Encouraged by the leader's aura, the soldiers also waved their swords to meet each other, and said in unison: "Go back to the palace and rescue Earl Sade!!!"

The sound of swords colliding was sonorous and powerful, the sound fluctuated and vibrated, and it was heard ten miles away, the vastness shook the sky.

"Master Sade, how do you feel?"

Martin said coldly, "I don't feel anything."

"How could it be? When I first heard the news, I hated it so much." Antoine turned the scabbard upside down, put the hilt against Martin's throat, and gently lifted his face upwards, and He looked at each other, "Tell me, why are people so different?"

Martin looked at him, slowly pushed the scabbard away, stood up, and walked to the edge of the watchtower.

The sky was dyed blood red by clouds, just like the ground outside the city of Fancheng today.

"You don't hate as much as you think, do you?"

"Hehe," Antoine smiled, "What is Master Sade talking about? I've been thinking about it for so long, and I've been waiting for this day..."

"Join forces with other races and defeat Bremen. Are you really that happy? After the empire is gone, what will they do to you?"

"I don't care! If you want to kill or cut, you have to avenge your revenge, and you have no regrets!"

"What about your mother and brother?"

Antoine was stunned for a moment.

"Antoine, what are you doing?!" A man's voice came, "Tie him up soon? The more bargaining chips we have, the greater the chance of negotiating with them. The Master is still waiting for us Well, let's go!!!"

Martin recognized the man as the servant next to Breman, named Rhodes.

The person who seemed to have a weak sense of existence when he was in the Northland did not expect to bite someone back so painfully.

Antoine came back to his senses, silently watching the soldiers step forward and tie up Martin.

Everyone moved under the tower together.
