before he was crowned king

"What do you mean?" Lilian's eyes were flustered, as if she hadn't expected Mrs. Mary to say such a thing, "You clearly said—"

"Lilian, I said that I will regard you as an important member of the Cabed family, but do you think too much about some things?" Mrs. Mary's words were as sharp as a sword, "Arix She is the heir of the Cabed family, and his future wife must be perfect, and I think it is best to have the blood of the royal family. But no matter what, it is impossible to be a divorced woman?"

"What, what?" Lilian's face gradually lost color.

"This should be a matter of course. I thought you wanted to understand this when you married Sean." Marif Youyou said, and the understatement quickly pierced Lilian's defense, "You early That's disqualification, isn't it?"

Lilian's hands were tightly clenched, and it was only then that she realized that Mrs. Mary had never acknowledged her.

She didn't even want to bring the word "in love" out of her mouth.

Doubtless, this would be of no value at all in Lady Mary's eyes.

Lilian's nose was a little sore, but she still tried her best to suppress her emotions, not wanting to look too embarrassed.

"You're right, Alex's wife won't be me, I'm already a married woman." Lilian raised her eyes and mustered up the courage to ask back, "So why do you think I will listen to you Hurt your own husband?"

"Of course it's because of love. Because you love Alex." Madam Mary's tone suddenly softened, "Lilian, I believe that if someone wants to hurt him, you will definitely not agree, right?"

"I don't understand what you mean..." Lilian shook her head slightly, as if talking to herself, "You mean Sean... No, Sean will not hurt Alex, he even said I am willing to give up my title..."

"That's just a lie. If he knew that his mother died because of Alex, would you still believe such a hypocritical statement?"

Lilian was completely stunned. She watched Mrs. Mary's bright red lips open and close, as if bloody parting tormented her to make a difficult choice.

The dark silver four-wheeled carriage stopped at the entrance of the Rose Manor, and the coachman was already sitting on it, with a soft blanket spread in front of the carriage.Sean refused the servant's offer of help, and strenuously walked into the carriage with a silver cane.

After he sat down, the tall and handsome man bent over and walked into the somewhat narrow carriage.

Sean didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to go out. He was asked by Mrs. Mary to take Erics to deal with the labor procurement of the mine.

Amid the sound of the rolling wheels, the carriage slowly drove into the path, bumping left and right forward.

"Xion, I'm really sorry to trouble you. I wanted to go by myself, maybe my mother didn't trust me..." Alex stretched out his hand and scratched his short black hair, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"It's okay, things in the mine are not so easy to get started." Sean flipped through the personnel record book in his hand, "It always takes time to be on your own."

"No," Alex sighed, looking a little frustrated, "Actually, I don't want to take over these jobs, and I...nor do I want to take over the position of viscount from you, Sean...whether you believe it or not, it's not I want."

"I know, but Viscount Norman entrusted you with the mission of leading the family. This is his last wish." Sean asked, "Did Lilian accompany you to the church and meet him?"

"Yes." Erics replied subconsciously, and then found that something was wrong, and Knock explained, "No, no, no, you think that, just because I have been away for too long and don't remember the way to Mudsen Church ..."

"You know what?" Alex asked softly.

"Well, I also know that you like Lilian." Sean said flatly.

Alex's whole body burned up, and he didn't know whether it was because of shyness or shame, his face was hot, and he couldn't control his panic.

His relationship with Lilian is a secret that cannot be revealed.Although this was a predicament that he hadn't expected at all before he developed feelings for him, it was indeed the only shady ambiguity in his life.

Having an affair with his brother's wife really tormented him.Erics kept it to himself, because no matter how he chose, his choice didn't seem to be the right one.

"Don't be nervous, I've already talked to Lilian about this matter." Sean said again.

Erics was shocked by Sean's words, his back tensed, like a child who was found out for doing something wrong.

He had never been so guilty of a person.

"I'm sorry." All the words of explanation seemed extremely weak on the lips, and in the end Erics could only hold back an apology stiffly.

"It's not anyone's fault. It can only be said that we were just played by fate like a prank."

The voice behind the iron mask seemed to be joking, and Alex was very surprised. He was even ready to be beaten, "Xion, aren't you angry?"

"What do you think?" Sean said lightly.

"Sorry." Alex lowered his head, "I'm really sorry."

How could you not be angry?

A normal man would be angry when something like this happens.

How could he ask such a stupid question.Alex was annoyed.

Seeing the man drooping his head in frustration, Sean suddenly thought of the hyena in the manor that had been properly tamed by the old housekeeper.

Nature is really a strange thing. This man obviously has the strength to crush him, but now he is showing a pitiful look in front of him.

"There is a relationship between you and Lilian, so I am going to quit." Sheen said, "This matter has gone wrong due to an accident five years ago, and everything should be put back on track now. My idea is to return everything for you."

"So what do you do?" Alex blurted out, "It's not fair to you."

"I will leave Rose Manor and find my own direction in life." Sean said blankly, "Arix, stay here and continue to play your role. It is unfair to me."

Erics fell into silence for a moment, and he realized that he had thought things too simply.

The horse's nose neighed, the reins were pulled by the groom, and the carriage stopped suddenly.

"Excuse me, who is your lord?" Someone outside the carriage asked.

Sean turned slightly to the car window, "Sean Cabed."

"Ah, it's Viscount Sean." The soldier recognized Sean's identity, "I don't know why you left the city?"

"Go shopping."

"Okay, it's a routine inquiry, and I hope you don't blame me." The soldier registered with a pen.

Murphy looked at the gray stone wall hundreds of yards in front of him.

This wall can be said to be the dividing line of Saint Viadu City. After walking out, there are two completely different worlds inside and outside the wall.

"Did something happen?" Sean asked. There was no such strict inspection record for entering and exiting the city gate before.

"Some sub-orcs are just making trouble. Don't worry, there are patrol soldiers near the gray wall, so there will be no trouble. Of course, if you need it, I can send a team to ensure your safety."

"A sub-orc man..." Sean was not surprised to hear that.

Sub-orcs are human beings born with atavistic physical characteristics.

They are flexible and strong, basically have no magical talent, have sharp teeth and claws, and very rarely have animal ears and tails on their heads.

Because of a plague of beast demons a hundred years ago, most of them became commodities that could be sold, and at the same time became the most humble race in the Sanvia Empire.

If they don't pull out their fangs and claws and wear special magic monitoring collars according to the regulations, they are absolutely not allowed to cross the gray wall and enter the capital of Saint Via.

"No need, I believe that with you here, the law and order of Saint Via will be at ease." Sean said.

"Thank you for your trust! It is our supreme honor to be loyal to the empire!" The soldier was very excited when he received the nobleman's praise. He pressed his hands tightly to his chest and his face flushed.

The fine iron gate in front of him creaked open, and under the watchful eyes of the soldier, the wheels slowly accelerated and continued to drive forward.

The carriage stopped in front of a circular building, covered by a huge black canvas.

Beside the open iron gate are two huge lion-headed stone statues. Sean got out of the carriage, followed by Alex.

The ground outside the gray wall is different from the slate ground in the main city. It is not only uneven, but also full of gravel.

This is the largest slave farm in the black market of the Saint Via Empire.

"My God of Light! I didn't expect you to come here in person, Viscount Sean. I'm really scared." A fat man with a bloated figure walked over quickly, "I don't know what you need this time?"

Alex looked around, this was the first time he had come to such a place.

"I need people to mine the mines."

"It's a coincidence that you came here. There happened to be a batch of new goods recently. This way please." The fat man raised his hand to lead the way.

At this time, it was afternoon, and the sun should have been bright, but the slave farm was dark and gloomy, without seeing the sun.

According to Sean's understanding, the large and small slave farms in the empire are imitated with similar designs, it seems that such a dark atmosphere can wipe out the will of the slaves to resist, and it is easier for them to become more obedient and obedient.

The fat man walked obliquely forward with a candle lamp, and soon many iron cages appeared in the sight of Sean and Alex.

Alex frowned, the sight here made his scalp tingle.

In the iron cage, nearly a dozen figures were crowded in the narrow space, one by one, with shackles on their limbs, and special leather muzzles on their mouths.

clap clap.

Alex turned his head and saw that in a corner, someone was beating a scrawny body with a whip like a rainstorm.

"It's too much." Alex was about to step forward to stop him, but his arm was held down.

"Are you going to buy him?" Sean asked.

"No, he—" Alex was interrupted.

"He's a suborc."

"Suborcs shouldn't be treated like this." Alex was a little emotional.

"But it's legally allowed." Sean said calmly, "If you're not going to buy him, don't intervene."

"But, are we just going to watch this tyrannical act continue?"

"It's not something we can change," Shine said.

Looking at the cold iron mask, Alex gritted his teeth, turned his back suddenly, and said in a gloomy voice, "I don't know how you think about it, anyway, I can't turn a blind eye."

After speaking, Erics strode over and grabbed the hand that was waving the whip.

"What are you doing?!" The man glared angrily.

"Stop beating! Don't you see he's dying?" Erics said loudly.

"You are sick! This is my slave! It doesn't matter to you whether he dies or not!" the man scolded angrily, "If you don't let go, I'll call someone to make you crippled!"

"Who are you going to make disabled?" A cold voice sounded.

Sean walked over slowly leaning on a cane.

"How dare the people in the slave farm yell at the nobles?"

"Viscount Sean, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Hearing the movement, the fat man hurried over, apologizing in a low voice while cursing at the man, "The young master of the Cabed family doesn't even recognize him! Get out! Trash!"

The man was taken aback, he didn't expect that the person he bumped into was a nobleman, so he ran away in a panic.

"Are you okay?" Alex helped up the man who fell on the ground, but the man had already lost consciousness.

"Viscount Sean, this—" Watching Erics' movements, the fat man hesitated to speak.

"Two hundred male sub-orcs, or this one, will be sent to the Xislin Mine in three days."

Alex's body trembled.

"Okay, okay. No problem!" Hearing that it was such a big deal, the fat man immediately burst into a smile, "Viscount, please come here, let's sign an agreement..."

An ink-colored seal was stamped on the scroll.

The transaction went very well.

It was Lady Mary's money, and Sean was generous.

The fat man sent Sean out of the slave farm with a red face, and promised to deliver the goods immediately after the formalities were completed.

After boarding the carriage, Sean watched the man leaning against the window in a daze.

"Sorry." Halfway through the carriage, Erics suddenly said in a muffled voice, "I just said too much."

Compared with his actions, Sean's handling was obviously better than his. Buying those slaves, giving them jobs, and helping them get out of that terrible environment is the real salvation.

"No apologies, Alex."

Sean was not angry, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Erics said before.

Although they are brothers, they have completely different personalities.

This trip made Alex a little dull. After the two parted, Sean was going back to his study.

"Lilian, what's the matter with you?"

Sean stopped and looked at the girl who was standing at the door hesitating.
