It's really hard to be a scumbag

Jiang Jiang... had a good night's sleep.

So much so that he looked back and forth for a long time after waking up, only to be sure that nothing changed this night.

emmmm

So he shouldn't have let Macmillan in before.

Jiang Jiang cursed a few words and sat up from the bed.

Before he got out of bed, he suddenly smelled something.

The curling fragrance lingers in the room, faintly seductive.

Jiang Jiang looked up, and saw that the room was originally just a vase for decoration, but now there was a rose suddenly.

When Jiang Jiang walked to the lace, he saw that there were still fresh drops of water on the delicate rose petals.

He fiddled with the petals with his hand, and the transparent water droplets rolled down.

Looks like it's just been picked.

As for who picked it.

Jiang Jiang ruled it out silently, and found that Suskel was the only suspect left.

McMillan will not come in without authorization, and he will probably ask him what he means before sending it off.

No one else in the castle, including the old butler, had the guts to touch something belonging to the Demon Duke, even if it was just a rose.

Jiang Jiang straightened up helplessly and went to wash up.

He had thought that Suskel would not have come if Macmillan hadn't entered the room.

Who would have thought that the other party came quietly, leaving nothing but a rose.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang suddenly paused.

He opened his collar and looked in, touched his flat stomach again, and finally confirmed with suspicion that Suskel really only left a rose.

Should it be called Zha Gong's coquettish rose?

It's provocative.

To a certain extent, Jiang Jiang, who is very straight, was not shy or moved by the gift, but was amazed by Suskel's carefulness.

After washing up, Jiang Jiang passed by the vase, he lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance, and went out in a good mood.

He walked to the door, and just opened the door, he saw a person standing outside the door.

The opponent was tall and had long legs, and his straight back made him even more imposing.

Then, this awe-inspiring aura collapsed when he saw Jiang Jiang.

"You, did you sleep well?" McMillan didn't dare to raise his head, and said hesitantly, "The servant came up earlier and said that you can go down to eat at any time."

"Don't change the subject." Jiang Jiang leaned against the door, raised his chin and looked at Macmillan: "Answer my question just now, why didn't you obey my order and go back to sleep?"

Macmillan fell silent.

He has the qualities of a knight, such as humility, sacrifice, bravery and - honesty.

He doesn't know how to lie and doesn't bother to lie, so when he encounters a question he doesn't want to answer, he naturally falls silent.

Seeing that he was clearly taller than himself, but he was obediently lowering his head and waiting for the training, Jiang Jiang felt quite a headache.

"Forget it." Jiang Jiang sighed: "You have been standing all night, and punishing you will undoubtedly make things worse. You go and wash up, and you will go down to have breakfast with me later."

"Don't go to practice swordsmanship in the morning, come back and get a good sleep." Jiang Jiang said with a straight face, "Did you hear that, Mr. Disobedient Knight?"

McMillan pursed his lips tightly, afraid that he would not be able to restrain his joy from being cared about.

He nodded hurriedly and went back to his room to wash up.

Jiang Jiang stood outside and waited.

He leaned on the railing, staring at the exquisite and elegant decoration inside the castle in a daze.

After a while, McMillan strode out.

Jiang Jiang looked back, and saw that there were still drops of water on his handsome face, rolling to his sexy Adam's apple as he walked.

Jiang Jiang just looked at him like this, and for no reason at this moment, he thought of the rose in the vase.

"The dining hall is this way." McMillan didn't know what Jiang Jiang was thinking, and took the lead to lead the way.

The momentary throbbing in his heart disappeared in an instant, and Jiang Jiang came back to his senses.

He blinked and followed Macmillan slowly.

The castle was huge, and they walked for a long time before reaching their destination.

There were not many people in the dining hall, probably because there were only the two of them as guests.Before Jiang Jiang ate, he looked around and found that the old butler was not here.

After spending a little time eating breakfast, Jiang Jiang forcefully drove McMillan back to his room.

After waiting in the corner for a while, after confirming that McMillan had slept obediently and hadn't come out, Jiang Jiang turned to look for the old housekeeper.

After asking the servant all the way, Jiang Jiang finally entered the study.

He originally thought that the study should be an ordinary room, and it would be easy to find someone, but when he entered this room, he was dumbfounded.

It is said to be a study room, but in fact, it is as high as five floors, and there are bookshelves on each floor. Jiang Jiang looked up at the densely packed bookshelves that could not be seen, and finally walked up resignedly.

Fortunately, he was lucky, as soon as he went up to the second floor, he saw the old housekeeper walking towards him.

He was surprised to see Jiang Jiang: "Dear guest, are you here to read knowledge?"

"No." Jiang Jiang waved his hand: "I'm here to see you. I want to ask where the Duke is in the castle now. I want to pay a visit."

The old butler was taken aback, and he pushed his round glasses: "I can understand your admiration for the duke, but I'm very sorry, the duke hasn't come back yet."

Jiang Jiang was startled, and his expression turned subtle: "Didn't come back? But, I seem to have accidentally seen him somewhere in the castle."

The old butler couldn't help but wondered: "Did you read it wrong? If the Duke comes back, he will definitely drive a carriage and enter through the main entrance. At that time, everyone in the castle will go out to greet the Duke."

Jiang Jiang looked at the old housekeeper carefully, and when he found that the other party did not seem to be lying, he became confused.

After thanking the old housekeeper absent-mindedly, he sat alone on the chair on the second floor and began to think.

Jiang Jiang knew that he did not admit the wrong person, among other things, it was clearly written on the card in the dark space.

But the more this happened, the more puzzled Jiang Jiang became.

Suskel was clearly back, why did he sneak around and keep silent?

This is no other place, this is his own castle!

Jiang Jiang didn't understand the thoughts of these local tyrants even though he was bald.

He leaned back in his chair and pondered for a while, then simply gave up and continued to think.

Anyway, he has the plot in hand, knowing that Suskel will always show up when he is about to leave on the fifth morning.

After figuring this out, Jiang Jiang withdrew his thoughts and turned to look at the second floor.

The neat bookshelves on the second floor were lined up in one row. Jiang Jiang stood up and looked for a book in the first row.

The book he selected mainly introduces the Ragumifhai Kingdom.

As the name suggests, Lagumifu Sea Country is an empire built on the seabed.

Since most creatures are land creatures, when someone caught the first mermaid and learned about the sea country from the other party, countless people went to the seabed to explore.

However, the bottom of the sea is the land of sea creatures, no matter how many people go there, very few come back.

Therefore, news about Hai Guo is the most expensive and rarest.

In the plot that Jiang Jiang received, there was not much information about Hai Guo. Although there was indeed a mermaid in his team, it was because the other party was tragically abandoned by his tribe, then captured by humans, and finally rescued by Slag Gong. for the sake.

So when Jiang Jiang was choosing, he deliberately picked this book to read.

He looked at it to pass the time, but he submerged in it unknowingly.

The book doesn't say anything too esoteric, it just draws a lot of pictures in a very vivid and simple way, and the pictures are mermaids.

Mermaid tails have different colors, and through the colors, you can identify the level of the mermaid in the sea country.

Like a solid color fish tail, it is the royal family of the sea country.

Mottled or even messy colors are basically the middle layer.

As for the bottom layer, there are creatures other than mermaids.

Well, including humans.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiang couldn't help shaking his head. He was a little glad that the plot didn't let the scumbag enter the bottom of the sea, but directly prostituted a young prince of the royal family for nothing.

After closing the book, Jiang Jiang put the book back to its original position.

He was about to look at other races, but suddenly heard footsteps downstairs.

Jiang Jiang went to the stairs and looked down, and saw McMillan walking up.

The two looked at each other without speaking to each other.

In the quiet study room, the only sound is the crackling of lamps and candles.

Jiang Jiang blinked, and spoke first: "Are you awake?"

McMillan came back to his senses a little too late. He stood at the bottom of the stairs, looked up, his eyes were dark and bright: "Yeah."

Jiang Jiang keenly felt that Qi seemed to be a little anxious, but he didn't know what the problem was.

Because it would be even more strange to be quiet, so he continued dryly: "When I wake up, I go to play around, or practice swordsmanship. Why do you want to come to the study?"

"I didn't come to read the book, but I came here because I heard that you are here." After Macmillan finished speaking honestly, he laughed again and continued: "I'm sorry, because after waking up, I was very I really want to see you, so I came to look for you without authorization. If I disturb you, please forgive my recklessness."

Jiang Jiang was dumbfounded.

He stared at McMillan for a long time, until he saw the other party at a loss, and then he was sure-Macmillan was not talking about love, he really came to him because he missed him.

After seeing it through, Jiang Jiang couldn't help being speechless.

As he walked down, he said helplessly: "What do you want me to do? The contract we signed, if something happens to me, you can feel it."

McMillan waited for him to come down before following him.

"Even so." The other party said, "I still feel more secure when I can see you all the time."

Jiang Jiang couldn't help laughing: "In terms of service attitude and dedication, I'd be sorry if I didn't give you a five-star praise."

Macmillan was taken aback for a moment, he didn't understand these strange words.

Fortunately, Jiang Jiang just said it casually, and then talked about other things: "The old housekeeper invited me to drink tea in the garden before, and I didn't go alone. Now that you are here, you want to go with me ?"

Macmillan pulled back from thinking about those words in an instant, and said without thinking, "If you agree, it will be my honor."

Jiang Jiang nodded, and came out of the study with McMillan.

Guided by the servants, they walked for a while before reaching the garden.

Endless roses sway in the wind.

Because of the night, the beautiful flowers are like trickling blood.

Jiang Jiang sniffed the strong fragrance of flowers, and followed the servants to the courtyard in the middle of the garden.

There were no doors on all sides of the courtyard, and after Jiang Jiang sat down, he could clearly appreciate the surrounding scenery.

As a result, when he really sat down, his eyes were fixed on the table, and he was completely uninterested in looking at the flowers swaying in the wind around him.
